Specification describing a new and useful Improvement in Horse-Stall Floors, invented by GEORGE W. GORDON, of Oharlestown, in
the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts.
Figure 1 is a top view of my improved stall-floor. Fig. 2 is a detail longitudinal section of the same taken through the line as m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail cross-section of the same taken through the line 3 y, Fig. 1.

My invention is an improvement on the stallfloor of Z. G. Garlick, for which Letters Patent of the United States were issued July 21, 1863, and which I accordingly disclaim. The invention consists, mainly, in so arranging the secondary floor as to constitute a close box or framing for the hinged part, thereby facilitatin g the cleaning of the stall, preventin g draught of air upon the animal, and producing other advantages not necessary to enumerate; and it consists in the floor, constructed as hereinafter more fully described.
A are joists, eight, more or less, in number,
and about six feet long, three inches deep, and four inches wide. The joists A are arranged lengthwise of the stall and parallel with each other, and are attached to four, more or less, cross-bars, B, in such a way that the joists A may be raised half an inch, more or less, from the floor. In the under sides of the cross-bars B are formed several transverse grooves, b, to facilitate the running oil of the liquids. The forward end of the floor A B is hinged with wrought-iron strap-hinges to a head-piece, G, securely fastened to the floor near the crib. The side portions E E of the secondary or upper floor are laid flat upon the lower floor F, and secured thereto so as to form a perfect or water-tight inclosure or box for the hinged part A B, as shown.
By this construction, straw, manure, or other matter finding its way through the hinged floor will be retained by the box-like frame E E O, and its easy removal provided for.
I claim As the improvement herein described, the arrangement of the parts E E O with the permanent floor F and hinged floor A B, as shown and described.
GEORGE W. GORDON.
