1 Claim.
This invention relates to novel and useful improvements in devices for use in watering stock.
An object of this invention is to retain a supply of water for stock in such condition that the tendency will be to avoid freezing, through the utility of a specifically provided insulated housing having an improved closure therefor, means attached to the housing for retaining a supply of manure on the upper exposed portion of the housing, the lower portion thereof being disposed in the ground, and to utilize an improved water receptacle for actual watering of the animals.
Ancillary objects and features of novelty such as simplicity of structure will become apparent to those skilled in the art, in following the description of the preferred form of the invention, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan view of the preferred form of the invention;
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on a line 2-2 of Figure 1 and in the direction of the arrows, Showing the invention as applied and ready for use, and;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the Watering receptacle adapted to be disposed in the housing as shown in Figure 2.
This invention has been developed in order to provide a device which will maintain water for animals in such condition that it will not freeze in sub-zero weather.
A housing generally indicated at I is supplied and composed of an inner case I2 and an outer case (4 spaced therefrom with conventional insulating material l6 between the two cases. Wood stringers 18 or the like may be used for spacing the two cases and retaining them in their proper relative positions.
A hanger indicated at 26 is supplied on the interior of the housing and more specifically is attached to the inner case and has a substantially rectangular shaped shelf-like formation 22 at the top thereof and an upstanding flange 24 at the bottom thereof. This hanger is adapted to support a receptacle 26 which has a number of holes 28 therein rendering it foraminous. With this structure attention is directed to Figure 3 wherein there is disclosed a flange 30 extending across the back portion of the receptacle 26 which seats on the holder assembly 22. A lifting strap or handle 32 extends from the back of the receptacle to the front portion thereof. As is also apparent from an inspection of Figure 3 a substantially L- shaped channel member 34 is attached to the forward smoothly curved end of the receptacle and seats on the upstanding flange 24. Accordingly, the receptacle is detachable.
A bafiie-handle element 38 is attached to the top portion of the outer case and is adapted to retain the manure 40 or the like in the proper position on top of the portion of the housing which projects from the ground.
An improved door or closure indicated generally at 44 is hinged at its top end 46 by means of a conventional hinge thereby mounting it for swinging movement. The lower end of the closure has a handle 50 attached thereto which overlies a portion of the outer case.
It is seen that the door 44 is composed of a shell having inclined sides 54 with insulating material 56 therein. Also, a seal preferably of the resilient type 58 is disposed around the door in order that the door be maintained tightly closed. It is of importance that this door be retained closed so that the case I2 is substantially weatherproof.
In the eflicient operation of the invention, it is necessary to utilize some means for controllin the level of water in the inner case. Accordingly, an inlet conduit or pipe 62 extends through the bottom of the housing and terminates in a float valve structure 64 of conventional description. This of course retains the proper level of liquid in the device.
When utility of the device is desired, it is preferable to supply a substantially U-shaped fence 66 around the animal watering apparatus, leaving only the front open which is exposed to the open door portion of the device.
While there has been described and illustrated but one form of the invention, it is apparent that variations may be made without departing from the spirit thereof. Accordingly, limitation is sought only in accordance with the scope of the following claim.
Having described the invention, What is claimed as new is:
A device for watering livestock comprising a housing composed of an outer shell and an inner shell spaced therefrom with insulating material interposed between said shells, an angular front face formed on both of said shells with openings therein, a door hinged for swinging movement in said opening and having a resilient seal therearound, a foraminous receptacle disposed in said inner shell, a hanger for said receptacle disposed behind said door and including a forwardly extending shell, said receptacle having a rearwardly projecting flange seated on said shelf, a channel secured to the front of said receptacle, a support fixed inside said inner shell and said channel being removably seated 5 REFERENCES CITED' The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
