LESLIE W. POTTER, OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS.
I-IOVER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 2,1913.
Application filed July 5, 1912. Serial No. 707,894.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LESLIE WV. POTTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of WVinnebago and the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hovers, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to construct a hover for chickens that will provide thorough ventilation for inhabitation therein.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a view in perspective of my improved hover. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view in perspective showing the suspension of the fabric strips. Fig. 3 is a sectional view along one of the cross-wires.
The hover is supported by the standards 1 which carry the upper and lower semicircular framework pieces 2 and 3 respectively. To these framework pieces 2 and 3 is attached in any suitable manner, a housing 4 made of any suitable fabric so as to allow thorough ventilation. At the open side of the hover and rigidly supported by the standards 1, is the member 5 having a plurality of small holes suitably spaced.
A plurality of cross-wires 6 having downstanding bent portions 7, are spaced in the hover parallel to each other, one end projecting through the holes in the member 5, and being held thereby, and the other end resting in the slots 8 formed in the upper framework piece 2. Over each of these cross-wires 6 are sus ended strips of fabric 9, which can be fixe ly secured thereto, or loosely overhung as I have shown them, and being preferably of some woolen material or such that will have a warming function; the strips having vertical slits so that chickens may pass from one passage to the other, and also so that the strips may be thoroughly flexible. Lying just inside of the upper framework piece 2, is the top 10, which rests on the member 5 and on the strips 9, and which can be made of any per forated material, in this case having shown it in the form of a wire mesh.
It will be readily seen that the hover can be laced in any suitable locality, either in a c icken-coop or accompanying a chickenbrooder. It will also be seen that any of the fabric strips can be easily taken out and cleaned or replaced by new ones, by simply removing the top 10 and taking out the cross-wires 6, held from lateral movement by the downstanding portions 7.
Heretofore in the common built-in construction of hovers, the chickens would very frequently smother because of poor ventilation,butin a novel hover of the aforementioned construction, perfect ventilation is secured, and thus the efficiency of the hover is greatly increased.
I claim as my invention:
In a hover, the combination of a semicircular frame having its curved side formed of an open framework having a fabric comprising the wall of the framework, and the side of the frame opposite the curved side being open, a cross-bar spanning said open side, cross-supports parallelly arranged and removably supported by the cross-bar and frame, depending fabric strips supported by said cross-supports, and a removable perforated member overlying the cross-supports and forming a top for the hover.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
LESLIE WV. POTTER.
