R. A. DOLESx POLE FOR VENTILATNG HAYSTACKS. APPLmAT'loN FILED FEB.14. ma.

Patented Dee. 3, w18.

INVENTOR AM w ATTORNEY nonna. DoLEsoIj iinnrvinnii, KENTUCKY- "ienne-1 To all 'wwmz't mog/'concern "zen of Vthe United States, residing atfEddy'- ing Haystacks,` of which the following is au specification. v

`My invention relates to new and useful improvements in a haystack pole and more particularly to a pole for ventilating hay stacks. v

The principal object o .f my invention is the construction of a pole in such a manner that .the stack will be ventilated throughoutlv its height and breadth.

Another object is the construction of the pole in suoli a manner as to allowfor the settling of the stack. y A further object is the provision-of transverse pipes which are detaehably lconnected to the' central vertical pole. and vertically adjustable thereon.

Still another object is the construction of the condensation from the stack.

Vith these and other objects in-view, my

invention consists'in the novcldetails of construction and the arrangement -of parts which will be inoie fullyunderstood from the following specilicationand drawings'in.

The right angle ex- 'one end jwitli anextension 8 whichin4 turn d tension is provided with a projection 10 and the end of the pipe is beveled Vas indicated vat 11 for the purpose as 'will be later de- 'I scribed. The right angle extension-'$2 is the pole in such a manner that it will drain of the drawings I have indicated 'aV slightly niodifiedform of pipe' G which is forked on the end to form the spaced arms" 12 adapted toextend on each side' of the pole 1. These arms l2 are of such a. lengt-li as to extend beyond the faceoftlie polel so that when in .position the staeked'hay will rest upon said extended arms and hold the pipe It isa. well ventilate a hay stack and it is for this reason that my 'invention is provided and I lhave .constructed the same in such a manner that itinay` be used for stacking the hay v'to variousp heights and i at the' saine time allow' for theset-tling of 'the stack. The perforated knowiithat itis desirable to .pole '-1 Aventilatesthe :stack throughoutI its height and the perforated pipes 4 and ventilate the stack throughout its width.l u lVhe-n beddedin the groundandthe hay is stacked th'erearouiid.

' and :BY-of the draivings-- By providingthe projection 10 on the right angle extension ..9 it is necessary to slightly turn the pipe G Awhen engaging it with the` pole 'l or-detachingit therefrom. The beveled'portion 1l cooperates vvith the projection 10 so that the pole may be passed 'through the openinon The pipes 6- .will slide along the pole l as the stack settles.

, Then the modified form Yol'fpipe 6, illus-v trated -in Fig, -l of the dra \\'ings. is to be used the arms 12 extend on either side of the pole l and, as previously described, arel of such a llength that the hay will rest upon ,the-ends of the arms for holding the pipes messes in proper position and for adjusting them along the pole l as the stack settles.

Having fully described my inventim, what I claim as new and desire to secure tor Letters Patent is perforatedpole haying elongatedy openings there-in, and perforated pipes extending through the elongated openings.
