BROODER.

Application filed July 10,

The present invention relates to a brooder for chicks and aims to provide a device of this nature capable of using an oil lamp as a source of heat without any danger ot the chicks becoming asphyxiated. V

-.i\ very important object of the invention lies in the provision of an improved radiator unit for distributing the heat under a hood.

Another very important object of the. invention lies in the provision of a draft device which will tend to suck out of the room impure gases and set up a desirable circulation.

A further very important object of the invention lies in the provision of a burner of this nature which is exceedingly simple in its construction compact and'convenient in its arrangement, strong and durable, inexpensive .to manufacture, easy to assemble and disassemble, eflicient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted. to the purpose for which it is designed. I

lVith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. v I

In the drawings Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the brooder embodying the features'of my invention,

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail vertical section taken substantially on the line 22 of Fig. 1,

*ig. 8 1s a detail horizontal section taken transversely and substantially on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2,

Fig. 4; is an enlarged detail vertical section taken through the; lower portion of the brooder, and p Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectionetaken substantiallyon the line 5-5 of Fig. 4:.

.Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes a casing having a hingedly mounted top 6 associated therewith. A pipe 7 leads from the bottom of the casing OllilWELl'CllY-m'M. oil burner of any suitable or preferred construction is designated by the numeral 8 and is disposed in the casing5. A supply pipe 9'leads from the burner-6 through the pipe 7. As is clearly shown in Fig. 4:, the burner extends through'the top 6, and may be regulated externally of the casing by suitable 1826. semis-0. 121,530.

hinged in parallel spaced relation. The

bottom header 11 has an enlarged opening 15 in its bottom from which extends an annular fiange lti adapted to rest on the top 6 and provided with a prong 17 piercing a suitable aperture in the top 6. It is thus possible. .to swing the radiator for lifting a portion of the header from the top thereof in order that access may be had to the wick of the burner for iighting the same, and put-ting the same out.

A air of guides 18 are arranged on the header 11 adjacent an opening 19 for receivinga transparent closure 20 which may be slid to an open or closed position. It will also be seen that access may behad to the wick end of the burner through this opening 19 if desired for lighting or unlighting the burner. The radiator is swung as described above, more particularly trimming the wick and the line.

The upper header 12 is provided with a frusto-conical extension 21 disposed upwardly and having an annularcollaradjacent its smaller end as is indicated at 22. The smaller end or" the frusto-conical extension 21 terminates in a cylindrical portion 23 over which is adapted to telescope the lower end of the chimney pipe 24. frusto-conical shaped hood 25 has its smaller upper end receiving the chimney pipe 2s:

and the collar 22 holds the hood in spaced relation in the frusto-conical extension 21, and this hood extends down over the radiatorv Rand the casing 5 terminating a distanceirom the floor on which the casing may beresting, I

The chimney 2% terminates at it upper end in'a plurality of spaced lugs 26. 1- draft creating device D is associated with the upper end of the chimney pipe 24: and includes av drum 27 the upper 28 ofwhich is provided-with a central opening 29 receiving an upper chimney pipe 30. lower end 31 of the drum 2? is provided with an opening 32 for receiving the chimney pipe 24. A rod 33 extends trans versely across the upper portion of the drum D and supports an a inverted cup-shaped member 34, the lower open edge of which The verted cupshaped member 34-, drum 2? and chimney pipe 30 as may be followed clearly in Figs. 1, 2 and 4 of the drawing. This circulation of the air caused by the draft will suck in foul air through the openings 35, thereby causing a circulation in the room or the like in which the breeder may be placed. Thus foul air and obnoxious gases may be readily taken elf.

It will also be seen that the radiator will prove very eiiicient and will heat up the space in the hood 25 with a niinimuln ex penditure of fuel in the burner. It will also be seen that the oxygen used up by the burn er is not taken fron'rthe space within the hood The device, therefore, is very efficient and reliable in use.

It is thought that the construction, utility, and advantages of this invention will now be apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof. The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in detail, merely by way of example since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enmnerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

it is apparent that numerous changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit, or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed, or sacrificing any of its ad 'antages.
