CHICKEN VJATERER.
Application filed October 13, 1922. Serial No. 594,293.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY D. Konr- Mnrnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Greenleaf, in the county of Washington and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chicken l/Vaterers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in,
chicken waterers.
An object of my invention is to provide a chicken waterer whereby a large flock of chickens may be watered with very little trouble.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a chicken waterer, that is capable of holding a large supply of water, so that it is necessary to water the chickens but once a day, without fear of the chickens becoming thirsty through lack of water.
A. still further object of my invention is to provide a chicken waterer, in which a great number of chickens may drink at the same time, without getting in each others J1 still further object of my invention is to provide a chicken waterer, whereby a constant level of water may be maintained, without the necessity of the water overflowing and making the surrounding ground m ddy, or allowing the chickens to become wet.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a chicken waterer, that may be readily disassembled, in order that the various parts may be changed or replaced when necessary.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a chicken waterer, that is strong, durable, simple and inexpensive in construction, and which is well adapted to the use for which it is designed.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Figure 1 is a front elevation of apparatus embodying my invention,
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same,
Figure 3 is a section taken on line 3- of Figure 2 looking in the direction of the arrow, and
Figure 4 is a section taken on line 4-4 of Figure 1 showing the spout in a position. so that the reservoir may be filled with water,
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the modification of my invention,
Figure 6 is a side elevation of the same, and
Figure 7 is an end view of the same. 7
In the drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention the numeral 5 designates a standard or support upon which the reservoir is mounted, and is provided with braces 6. The support 5 is provided at its upper end with a bearing 7, which is adapted to receive the spindle 9 of the reservoir 8. lit will readily be seen that the reservoir 8 may be rotated when it is desired.
1 Pi spout of any desired size is fastened in any appropriate manner to the reservoir 8, and is represented by the numeral 10. A cap or valve member 11 is adapted to slide on the end of the spout 10, and is provided with openings 12 which are spaced from each end of the cap by a small flange 13. The amount of water allowed to pass through the spout 10 is regulated by this cap or valve member 11, and if it is desired, the spout 10 may be'entirely closed so that no Waterv is allowed to pass therethrough.
A trough 14 having a hinge top 15, said top being hinged by means of a hinge member 16 and the bolt 17, is adapted to be placed under the reservoir. The top 15 has the beveled sides 20, said sides being provided with a plurality of openings 19 and on the top surface which is flat a large opening 18 adapted to receive the spout and cap 10 and 11 respectively. It must be remembered that there is enough clearance between the reservoir and the trough, so that when the cap 11 is pushed entirely on the spout 10, there is enough room for the reservoir to be completely rotated without the spout striking the trough. It will be seen that the spout can be swung into a position directly over the opening 18, and the cap 11 moved downwardly so that a small amount of water will be allowed to pass into the trough. The cap 11 will immediately enter the opening 18 upon its displacement on the spout 10.
In use, the reservoir 8 is mounted upon the standard 5, and the trough 14 placed under the reservoir. The reservoir is r0- tated into the position as is shown in Figure 4, and the cap 11 is removed. The reservoir 8 is filled with water, and the cap is replaced and pushed down as far as it will go, so as to entirely close the opening or the spout. The lid 15 of the trough 4.- should be closed, and the reservoir 8 is rotated downwardly so that the spout is directly over the opening 18 in the ledge of the trough. The lid or cap 11 of the spout 10 may be moved downwardly as far as desired, that is, it may he moved in accordance with the amount of water that is desired to be admitted into the trough 1%. The cap 11 may be left down far enough, so that a small amount oi water will continuously pass through the opening 12 into the trough, and in that way a continuous supply oi drinking water will be at hand for the chickens to drink during the day, without the necessity of an attendant. The chickens are allowing to drink through the openings 19 in the beveled side 01 the top, and it will be seen that the chickens will not be allowed to fight while drinking, as each chicken must drink through one of the openings. @ii' course for a very large flock of chickens, it would be advisable to have a larger watering trough than would be required for a smaller flock, and it is also advisable in the summertime to change the water twice a day, although the reservoir may be made large enough to hold a days supply it it is desired.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 clearly illustrate a form ol. modification but may be used in conjunction with my improved chicken waterer. This modified rack is particularly adapted to be used for a waterer that is used for baby chickens and the like. The numeral ot support, as is clearly illus- "g'ure 5 of the drawings, are the which are adapted to hold the firmly in place. be understood that the form o herewith shown and described is tahen as a preferred embodiment of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit oij' my invention or the scope of the suhjoined claim.
Having thus described my invention, 1 claim:
fountain comprising a frame, a movable reservoir mounted on the frame having an outlet spout, a trough disposed directl' below the reservoir for receiving water therefrom, and a closure cap having outlet openings formed therein at a point intermediate the ends thereof and slidably mounted upon the outlet spout, as and for the purpose specified.
in testimony whereof I afiix my si nature in presence of two witnesses.
