My invention relates to improvements in manger structures.
A primary object of this invention is to provide' means whereby the base portion'and the alley way along which ythe attendant passes in front of thecattle or other animals may be Constructed of concrete` or similar material in oneunit of such form that the base of the manger constitutes a mere depression along one margin of the alley floor lwith no permanent dividing wall between them, the back wall of the mangerr above the alley floor comprising a swinging member which may be moved out of the way to facilitatecleaning the manger or moving material from the alley floor into the manger, either with a broom, shovel or other implement. J
Further objects of my invention are to reduce the cost of the concrete portions of manger and alley lioor structures, kto provide means for promoting sanitation, to provide means whereby the front or alley wall of the manger may be made of any desired height, while increasing instead of reducingthe convenience of access and in general, to provide a better and more serviceable manger structurethan those which have heretofore been used. i f
In the drawing :fV Y Figure 1 is an elevation of a portion of a manger structure as seen from the front or alley side. y A Y A Figure 2 is a sectional'view, drawn gen- ,1, .3.5 erally to line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Like parts are identified by the same reference characters in both views.
The base portion of my improved manger structure has the form of a shallow trough. The stable floor or floor receiving bed 10 is separated from the manger by a stanchion frame sill 11 which also forms the rear wall of the manger. A depressed trough-like portion 12 constitutes the bottom portion of the mangerand extends along the front side of the sill `between Vitand an alley floor 135.4 vIf desired, theV stable floor 10, sill 11, manger base 12 and alley floor 1 3 may be formed integrallyofponcrete or equivalent material.
The sta-nchion frame posts 14 may be secured to the sill 1 1 in anyordinary manner and theseV posts are preferably provided with manger partitions 16, preferably formed of metal plates and connected to the posts 14 by arms 17, pivoted to the brackets 18.Y These partitions maybe swung upwardly about :their pivotal axes 19 to `facilitate cleaning 'the manger. Y
Another line of posts 22 extends along the front or alley side of the manger with their upper portions connected by a rail or longitudinally extendingrod 23, thisfrail being secured to the posts by clamping brackets 24.
These posts have elbowed extensions25 which may be secured to the posts bythev same clamping brackets. The yextensions curve rearwardly andsupport a guard rod or rail 26.v In the construction shown, the lower ends of the posts 22 are embedded in Aconcrete and reinforced axially by anchor members 27.
Between the alley 13 and the manger trough or base portion 12 there is an inclined manger wallmember 30. The upper margin of this wall memberis provided with elbowedhangers or hinge members 31'wh/ich are pivotally socketed in'the brackets 24, each bracket 24A having pivot receivingsocketsl 32.
The wall member'SO is preferably'formed of sheet metal having its lower margin folded upon itself as indicated at 35 and its Vupper margin, between the hinge members 31,
turned forwardlyand folded upon itself to form a reinforced marginal flange or bead 36.
VIt isy not material to kthe linvention herein claimed whether the wall 30 is formed in sections, with each section equal in length to vthe distance between the posts 22 or whether it is continuous throughout the length of the manger. If continuous, its upper margin a manner that the wall member will not strike lthe post when it swings downwardly to its `'The manger wall 30 may be swung up- -wardly upon its'pivotal connections with the brackets 24 as indicated by dotted lines' in. Figure 2. I preferably form these wall" will, ofcourse, be notched or shaped in such vmembers 30 in sections which are substantially equal to the distance between centers f the posts 22 as shown in Figure 1 in order to facilitate swinging the front 30 of each manger section upwardly, independently of the other'sections.y The guard railf26 may conveniently `be provided withl hooks 37 adapted to engage notched margins of the sections of the wall member 30 to hold them in laf raised Yositi'onfll as clearly indicated-5in Figure-2. Y he lowermargin ''maya'lso'bel `notched to receive the manger partit1on,or y
if desired, the partition 16 may 'be-raised before swinging the wallmember 30 or any section thereof, upwardly.
'Thelongitudinal 'rods or rails 23 and 26 'serve -msguards to `prevent lhay `from. being )thrown out of the manger bythe animals. ThesectionsO serve a similar purpose as -to;al1 materials placed in the manger; -The of the swinging wallmember makes 'it possible to employ the guard rails 23 andv26 lwithoutinterfering with the operation of -lling the manger from the alley, ythis operationbeing performed by'swinging the -manger-wall or wall section 30 inwardly.
Preferably these vWall sections are so made theyy may swing `freely under pressure Yof a, fork or* shovel or'materialthat is being handled, thereby, and therefore, whenlling the matigen-itis unnecessary tokrst Yfasten the sections ofthe wall 30 in the raised position. When cleaning the manger or when for any other reason itisdesirablethatthe wall member or members 30k shall vbe sup'- 1 ported in a raised position to allow free --passage :of material toor fromthe base porltion'of 'the manger, the Walljmember `or members 30 will, rof course, be v fastened in the raisedposit'ion by the hooks 37 orzequivaentmeans.
y ltwillfbeunderstood lthat the above described construction in which a guard fframe is provided at onerside of the manger l becomes possible toswing the wallmembers amd a stanchion frame at the other side, it
80 upon,.pivotal supports along their upper margins to positions of nonuse without interferitngL with the animals and vWithout liftin `these manger wall members to'a., greater heightthan that ofan ordinary stable, where- -fas similar wall `members supported from a stanchion frame, if .similar y pivoted and swung upwardlyywould strike the heads of the animals and, if lifted pivotally above the heads of the animals, abnormally high stables kwould be rrequired andy the wall members would also tend to frighten thefanimals when `liiited uandswung in their direction.
