3 Claims. 1
u ;invention relates to an animal coop, and particularly to a hog coop.
object of the invention is to provide an improvedanimal coop having a, separable roof that is movable on the coop and yet is prevented from removal from the coop by suitable fastening QQJ S;
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved-fastening device for holding a separable roof upon an animal coop whereby the fastening-means will allow movement of the 'roof across the topof the coop and yet will prevent it from complete removal, such as by a gust of n Another object of the invention is to provide an animal coop having a separable roof provided with inexpensive fastening means for holding the roof on the corrp and yet allowing movement of the roof across the top of the coop.
Further objects and advantages will become apparent from the drawings and the following description.
In the drawings:
Figure l'is afront elevational View of an animal coop employing the features of'this invention.
Figure -2-i's aside elevational view of an animal coopemploying the featuresof this invention.
Figure 3 is a. front elevational view of the ani- =mal (300p illustrating one position of the roof when it is opened for allowing ventilation of the Figure 4 is a front elevational view of the animal coop showing another position of the roof for-allowing ventilation of the coop.
Figure 5 is aperspe'ctive elevational view, partially in cross-section, illustrating means for holding the roof on the coop and yet allowing movement of the roof relative to the coop.
Figure 6 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken substantially along line 66 of Figure 5.
Figure '7 is a detail perspective view of the construction of the roller upon which the roof is supported.
In this invention the animal coop consists of front and rear panels [0 and I! respectively, and side panels 12 and I3 respectively. These panels are arranged to provide a substantially rectangular structure. A suitable door It is provided in one of the end panels It! or ll. A floor is provided within the coop in the usual manner, and the structure is adapted to rest upon runners 15.
The coop is provided with a separable roof l6 that consists of a roof sheet I! that has the depending edges I8 around the same. The roof sheet I! may consist of a metal sheet while the the upper 'edge pf the structure, the coopis'substantial-ly closed and no ventilation is allowed within the coop, except for normal leakage, and the ventilating openings i9 provided 'in the end "frame members 20 of the'roof 16.
, Toprovide for ventilation of the coop it is 'desirablethat the roof be lifted'at one side and be moved transversely across the top of the coop as shown Figure 3, thus providing partial ventilation of the coop. If complete ventilation *of the coop is desired, the roof can -be placed in the position shown in Figure l. In either event, however, it is desired to provide means to prevent the roof "from complete removal from the coop while allowing movement of the roof to provide for ventilation. This is particularly ini- "porta'nth'n windy days when the wind could get underthe roof and throw it off the coop.
The means for holding the roof on the coop are identical on both ends of the coop, hence "only one o'fthe'devices'will be described, but it is understood that its duplicate provided "on the opposite end of the coop.
The means for holding the roof on the coop consists of a spindle in the form of a bolt 29 that "extends through the upright end panel "H1 tha'nthe spacer 2'! is'placed upon the spacer.
The projecting end of the 'bolt29 has one end thereof extending through a bracket 23, a nut 24 securing the bracket and spacer in rigid attachment to the panel Hi. The opposite end of the bracket 23 is secured to the panel is by means of wood screws or lag screws 25.
The end frame members 2%! of the roof it rest upon the rollers 22 so that the roof can be moved transversely of the coop when one side of the roof is lifted, as shown in Figure 3.
To prevent the roof from being removed either manually or by a gust of wind, a bar 26 is positioned beneath the frame member 20 parallel thereto. This bar passes between the roller 22 and the bracket 23, and is parallel to the lower edge of the frame 20. Fastening brackets 2'! and 28 extend from each end of the bar 26 into fastening engagement with the roof frame member 20.
From the foregoing it will thus be seen that the bar 26 will prevent the roof from being removed from the coop either purposely or accidentally.
While the device illustrated and described herein constitutes a preferred form of the invention, yet it will be understood that it is capable of mechanical alteration without departing from the spirit of the invention, and that modifications that fall Within the scope of the appended claims are intended to be included herein.
Having thus fully described our invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. An animal coop comprising upright panels forming a substantially rectangular structure, a separate free roof surmounting said structure and having depending edges extending around the periphery of the roof fitting in telescoping relation over the upper edge of the structure, and means at opposite sides of said roof for preventing removal of said roof from said structure and allowing movement thereof across the top of the structure, each of said means comprising a spindle secured to an upright panel of said structure adjacent an upper corner thereof, a roller on said spindle, said roof having the depending edge thereof resting on said roller for movement thereover, a bar positioned beneath said roller parallel to said edge of said roof that rests on said roller and extending substantially from one end of the said edge to a position just beyond the center of the roof as established from the said one end, and a bracket member extending from each end of said bar into fastening engagement with said roof.
2. An animal coop comprising upright panels forming a substantially rectangular structure, a separate free roof surmounting said structure and having depending edges extending around the periphery of the roof fitting in telescoping relation over the upper edge of the structure, and means at opposite sides of said roof for preventing removal of said roof from said structure and allowing movement thereof across the top of the structure, each of said means comprising a spindle secured to an upright panel of said structure adjacent an upper corner thereof, a roller on said spindle, a bracket having one end thereof secured to the end of said spindle projecting from the panel to support the spindle and having the opposite end attached to said panel to which said spindle is secured, said roof having the depending edge thereof resting on said roller for movement thereover, a bar positioned beneath said roller between said roller and the aforesaid bracket parallel to said edge of said roof that 4 rests on said roller and extending substantially from one end of the said edge to a position just beyond the center of the roof as established from the said one end, and a bracket member extending from each end of said bar into fastening engagement with said roof.
3. An animal coop comprising upright panels forming a substantially rectangular structure, a separate free roof surmounting said structure and having depending edges extending around the periphery of the roof fitting in telescoping relation over the upper edge of the structure, and means at opposite sides of said roof for preventing removal of said roof from said structure and allowing movement thereof across the top of the structure, each of said means comprising a bolt extending through an upright panel of said structure adjacent an upper corner thereof and projecting exteriorly of said structure and forming a spindle, a spacer on the projecting end of said bolt, a bracket having one end thereof secured on the projecting end of the bolt against said spacer to sup-port the bolt and having the opposite end in fastening engagement with said panel beneath said bolt, fastening means on said bolt for securing said bracket thereon and fixedly positioning said spacer between said bracket and the said panel through which the bolt extends, a roller of lesser length than said spacer carried on said spacer, said roof having the depending edge thereof resting on said roller for movement thereover, a bar positioned between said roller and said bracket parallel to said edge of said roof that rests on said roller and extending substantially from one end of the said edge to a position just beyond the center of the roof as established from the said one end, and a bracket member extending from each end of said bar into fastening engagement with said roof.
