GEORGE CUGLEY, OF SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, ASSIGNOR T THE BUCKEYE INCUBATOR COMPANY, OF SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, A CORPORATIONOF OHIO.
HOVER.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGEl CUGLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing -at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements lin Hovers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in hovers for chicks, itv more particularly relating vto a hover of the central heater type- One of the'v objects of the invention 1s to provide for abundant supply of fresh air to not only furnish a better combustion but also to eliminate the danger of explosions.
A furtherobject of the invention is to improve the construction and make more effective the operation of devices of this y character.
rection and the side 2 'straight in a verticaldirection, but the bottom portion or radiator 3, the outer edge of which 1s vseuredto the lower edge of the side 2, 'pro]ects 1n-l wardly so as to f orm a bottom or radlator of a cone shape. The top 1 and wall 1 are 40 formed with a central opening 6 and the bottom or radiator 3 is formed with ac entral opening 7 coinciding with the opening 6. A cover 8 closes the opening 6 and sup ported from this cover by straps 9 and a lower cross piece 10 is the heater. The
heater is an oil burning lamp, 11 representing the front, 12, the chimney or flue and -13 the burner. The flue 12 projects to a point ashort distance above the opening 7 formed in the bottom 3 so that the products of combustion will circulate through the. vopen space between the edges of the openings 6 and 7 and into the interior of the heat chamber and thence out through the iues 14 which are supported from the top 1 and Specication of Letters Patent.

extend down to a oint in close proximity to th'e bottom 3 in tlie usual way.
The device thus formed is supported upon legs 15 connected'preferably 'to the bottom 3 so as'to support the hover above the ground llne and the vhovering space beneath the -heat chamber is inclosed by the usual curtain 16. I also preferably surround the heater by a shield 17 of wire mesh, the upper edges of which are provided with a series of flexible metallic strips 18 which are bent over the inner edge. of the bottom 3 to support the shield; this shield being solely for the purpose of preventing the chicks from coming in too close contact with the lamp. A tube 19 is extended through the walls 1, 4 and 3 to permit the insertion of a thermometer in the hovering space.
By this construction it will be seen that the heater is so arranged that it receives a free circulation of air completely about the same from all directions in the hovering chamber, the open mesh screen in nowise interfering with this result, the lair entering between the curtains 16, which extend completely -around the hovering chamber and then Vpassing through the hovering chamber, up around all sides of the flue of the heater as well as through the sa'me and then entering the heat chamber, and leaving through the iiues 14. This arrangement also insures a supply of fresh air-at all ltimes in the hovering chamber.
By forming th bottom of the heat chamber in the shape of a frustum of a cone, it will be seen that the lowest point of the radiatingl surface of the heat chamber; or that point closest to the chicks, is at the outer part thereof Aso that the warmest place in the hovering space will befat a point close to the' curtains, which is desirable to prevent thechicks from crowding toward the center, which they will do if they nd that to be the warmest spot of the hovering space. By arranging the ilues 14 at a point close -to the side walls 2, in connection with the peculiar form of the radiator, it will be seen of the iiues can be lof cated at the lowest point of the heat chamber, which is essential to insure the proper heating of the radiating surface.
Having thus -described my invention, I claim 1. In a device of the character described, a circular heat chamber having a fiat top,
. a vertical outer side-wall and a bottom which is inclined upwardly from the lower edge of said side wall toward thel top, legs secured to the outer edge of said inclined bottom to support said heat vchamber above the ground line to form a hovering chamber beneath the same, a curtain suspended from the outer lower edge of said chamber to inh close said hovering space, said heat chamber having alined circularly arranged openings through its top and bottom, a cover for the j top opening and a heater including a flue suspended from said cover and located in said hovering spaceA with all portions thereof exposed to the air in said hovering space, said lue being spaced away from the edges of the opening through the bottom of said heat chamber so as to permit a circulation of air about all portions of the same, said heat chamber being provided with a continuous passageway leading to the interior of the same between the edges of the top and bottom openings, and a iiue suspended from the top of said heat chamber and extending to a point in proximity to the botom thereof near the side wall of said chama circular heat chamber supported above the ground line to form a. hovering chamber 2. In a device of the character described, i
beneath the same, a curtain suspended Yfrom the heat chamber so as to inclose said hoversaid side wall toward the top, vsaid heat v chamber having alined circularly arranged openings throughits top and bottom, a cover for the top opening and a heater including a ue suspended from said cover and located in said hovering space with all portionsthereof exposed yto the air in said hovering space, said flue being spaced away from the edges of the opening through the bottom of said heat chamber so as to permit a circulation of air about all portions of the same, said heat chamber being provided with a continuous passageway ,leading to the interior of the same between the ed es of the top and bottom openings, and a Iue suspended from the top of sald heat chamber and extending to a point in proximity to the bottom thereof near the side wall of said chamber.
1n testimony whereof, I have hereunto-set my hand this 4th day of April 1916.
