SECTIONAL CANOPY FOR BROODERS.
Application filed N'oveinber 16, 1923. Serial No. 675,161.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, HENRY M. SHEER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Quincy, in the county of Adams and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sectional Canopies for Brooders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in sectional canopies for brooders, and the object is to provide a simple and comparatively light and inexpensive canopy whlch may be knocked down and packed and shipped in small compass.
This invention consists in an hexagonal canopy preferably of sections of sheet metal detachably connected together at their edges and to a top of any suitable size, with braces and legs for its support and a damper at the top for ventilating purposes.
In the accompanying crawings:
Fig. l is a view in perspective;
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view;
Fig. 3 is a diagram;
Figs. 4 and 5 are diagrammatic sectional views, the former of a flat top canopy and the latter of a cone top canopy; and
Fig. 6 is a detail.
The numeral 1 represents the top or center which may be relatively large as shown in Figure 4, or relatively small as shown in Figure 5. This top has a form that the canopy is to take, for example, in the drawings illustrated it is hexagonal, although it might of course be of any angular form.
It preferably has several holes 2 therein, and a damper 3 is pivoted at the center i and has a handle 5. This damper has holes 6 corresponding and capable of registering with, holes 2, so that by turning the damper the size of the holes is regulated and the ventilation perfectly controlled.
The sides of the canopy are made up of a plurality of flat sections 7 of sheet metal of which of course there are as many as there are sides to the top, and these are detachably fastened to the top by screws or bolts 8 extending through the flanges 9 of the top and the side edges overlap and are held together by the screws or bolt 10.
To give strength, the lower edges are bound by bars 11 held in place by screws or bolts 12. Braces 13 are bolted across from side to side, as shown in Fig. 2, diagonally across corners and the legs 14 are preferably made of strips of metal bent into V-shape with the outer ends fastened at the corners of the canopy by screws or bolts 15, and the inner ends to the centers of the braces 13 by means of bolts or screws 16.
In this way, the canopy is made thoroughly rigid when set up as it is braced across each corner and it rests upon legs preferably located at the corners where the overlapping edges of the sections reinforce and constitute strengthening radial ribs for the canopy.
In Figs. 4: and 5, the canopy is illustrated in two different forms, namely, a fiat top and a cone-shaped form. It is of course understood that the canopy. might be in still other forms.
I claim:
1. A canopy having transverse braces each attached by the ends thereof to two points at the outer rim of said canopy, and having legs secured to and extending downward from said braces and points on said rim of canopy most proximate to junctures of legs with braces.
2. A canopy having transverse braces secured at their ends to adjacent sides thereof, and substantially U-shaped legs, said legs having the outer ends thereof secured to the corners of the canopy, and having the inner ends secured to the transverse braces.
3. A canopy having the sides thereof formed of sections secured together at adjacent edges, braces extending across the said ed 'es between the adjacent sections, and legs secured to and extending downward from the body of the canopy and the braces.
4. A canopy having the sides thereof
