T o all whom t may-concern:
Be it known that I, HECTOR MITGHEL MoRIsoN, of Sonimor Poultry Farm, Leclhampstead, Newbury, in the county of Berkshire, England, a rsubject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, have invented a new and Improved Chick Brooder (for which I have filed application in Great Britain No. 21,723, filed the 28th August, 1923), of which the following is a specification. y
Thisv invention relates to a new or i1nproved chickbrooder for poultry, whereby better control of the source of heat can be obtained together with proper ventilation and prevention of the massingor huddling of the chicks under the brooder.
In carrying out theinvention, I incorpo-y rate in the brooder a mass of porous ma terial in the shape of curtains, coverlets and so forth, to which heat is imparted by means of a heating element or elements which is or are preferably a pipe or pipes through which hot water flows and which may be formedl in various designs and so disposed as may be found most advantageous or efficient for heating. In its preferred form the brooder may comprise a roof, as it were, formedv by the heating element, from which the curtains described above depend. They are preferably strung upon rods so as to be easily removable, the rods being supported by the piping or by theframing used to connect the convolutions of the piping together. The edges of the 'curtains are slit or snipped to form loose `top cover cut away to show the arrangement of the piping and curtains beneath.
Fig. 2 is a detail showing more clearly asingle curtain 'and its supporting rod. Figs. 3 and 4 show different shapes of the heating element. l
Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings,`the heating element consists of a flat coil of pipes l which are connectedwhere necessary byelbow bends 2 and are supported in the same plane byk upper and lower strips 3 secured together by bolts 4. Hot water enters and leaves the heating coil through flexibley supply and eXit pipes and 6. Downwards from the pipes depend curtains 7 which as shown in Fig. 2 are threaded upon rods 8 which project from each end of the curtain, the projecting portions resting upon the strips 3. Thus any particular curtain can be removed at will. The curtains are of course of different lengths to suit the spaces between the successive coils of piping, and they may be of varying depths, for instance, they may decrease in depth progressively from the outside to the inner space under the heating element. They are made of flexible material and are slit or snipped as shown in Fig. 2 so as to form loose tongues 9 to allow freedom of movement for the chicks. y
The brooder is provided with a cover 10 spread across the heating element and this cover may have dependent sides 11 which in that case are slit or snipped so as to form loose tongues'12 similarto the tongues 9.
The whole brooder may be suspended by cords or cables 13 by which its height above the floor or ground can beregulated or by means of which it'can be entirely removed for cleaning purposes.
The heating element may have various shapes as may be found most convenient or eflicacious under the particular circumstances. Figs. 3 and 4 show two variations from the shape shown in Fig. 1.
When the heating coil is of the form shown in Fig. 3, a continuous bar may be used which supports a strip, as shown in Fig. 2, the rodsbeing of such thickness that the slitted fabric and rod will be maintained by the coil, and in Fig. 4 the rods 8 and curtains 9 will rest upon adjacent pipes depending from the rectangular coil. a
It will be appreciated that the degree of heat of the brooder can be regulated with great ease by means of the removable curs tains, which is of great importance in a variable climate. The device also adapts itself with great vfacility as a cold broeder, the
mass of warm material affording snug quar- A brooder for poultry, comprising in combination a coil of pipes constituting a heating element, flexible supply and eXit pipes to and from said heating element, a rame- Work adapted to engage said heating element, dependent Curtains of flexible material mounted on rods carried by said framework, said curtains being slit to form loose tongues, a Coverlet for the broeder of flexible porous material said Coverlet having dependent sides also slit to form loose tongues and 10 means for suspending the brooder at an adjustable height, substantially as described.
In Witness whereof I have signed this specification.
HECTOR MITCHEL MORISON.
