Definitions

  • the present invention has for its object to "provide an automatic drinking trough for animals which, when the animals exert pressure, by their heads, upon a plate or panel within the trough basin, ensures the automatic admission into the trough of the water necessary for the animals requirements, and the cutting oif of such admission when this pressure ceases.
  • an automatic drinking trough which operates by the action of a weight, made up of one or several units, and acting asv means for closing the liquid supply orifice, has shown itself 'to be particularly suitable for giving every satisfaction from the point of view of simplicity, absence of delicate mechanism, and certainty of operation.
  • the present invention achieves, in an automatic drinking trough of the last named kind, certain important improvements which ensure perfect operation with simple and durable'mechanism that cannot get out of order, thus giving entire satisfaction and fulfilling all conditions essential for this kind of apparatus.
  • the shutting off of the supply is affected by the body forming the Weight acting as a closing means at a point Well above its centre of gravity, which has they great advantage of always affecting a perfect closure, especially if to this is added a central guide for the weight, as well as an adjustable hook connection, to the weight, of the arm of the plate which causes therraising of the weight, thus permitting of regulating the amount ofl angular displacement of the plate which takes place before it operates.
  • the hook connection of the plate does not permit of the latter being lifted 01T or unhooked by the animal, but only allows it to be removed by a preliminary operation which has to be elected by hand.
  • the proposed automatic drinking trough is essentially characterised by the fact that in the trough basin wherein a movable body constituting a weight acting as a means for closing the water supply oriilce, this orifice is disposed above the centre of gravity of the said body in a manner such that the action of the weight always ensures a perpendicular closing action by means of the BBQ sealing disc, the body being guided on a central guide member in the trough basin, carrying at its summit the supply nozzle for the .2 Y y liquid, and the body having to permit of such guiding, a central recess of circular form open at the rear, which recess is extended upwards by a cylindrical housing in which is located, above the centre lof gravity of the Weight, a valvedevice provided with an adjustable screwed rod constituting the means for controlling the liftingV of the body which acts as the closing means, be-

  • a sectional'view on line l ing provided on the front of the rear wall with a guide pillar 3 having an interior passage 2 at the upper end of which is xed the outlet or discharge nozzle 4 for the liquid which is supplied to its lower end by the feed pipe 3
  • On this nozzle 4 rests'the sealing disc 5 located in the end of a recess 29 in the valve device 6 in the upper part of which is engaged the lower end of a screwed rod 1 provided with a washer 8 and a lock-nut 9 and at its upper end with a straight crosspiece IIJ of triangular form with supporting edges Il.
  • This valve device B is located in a cylindrical housing I2 provided above a vertical guide groove or semi-cylindrical recess i3 open at the rear of the d* body I4 forming the weight for acting as the closing means.
  • valve device 6 is held by its lower edge I5 against an internal shoulder at the bottom of the housing I2 by the tightening of the nut 9 screwed on the threaded rod 'I controlling the lifting of the weight I4 which, by its recess I3, is guided on the central pillar 3.
  • pillar 3 At its upper part its pillar 3 is provided with recesses or notches I6 in which are located projections or Wings I1, being the upper lateral edges of the central recess I3, the arrangement being such that the weight I4, when it is engaged vertically overthe member 3, cannot be disengaged by displacement, whether accidental or not, in a horizontal or aD- proximately horizontal direction, but canvbe dis-Yv engaged only when moved vertically upwards through a distance equal to the height of the projections I1.
  • edges I I are arranged to make contact at -IB on the upper face around the edge I 3 of the circular part ofthe opening or slot 20 open to the exterior by a gap or slot 2
  • the lock-nut 9 will form a stop, when a displacement of the plate 23 takes place in a horizontal, or substantially horizontal direction, since its diameter being greater than the width of the gap 2
  • the plate 23 thus comprises a horizontal Dart or arm 22' and, approximately at right-angles, another vertical arm 24 slightly curved towards the back at its lower part in which are perforations 25 for insertion of the ngers to enable the plate 23 to be raised above the lock-nut for its removal, as referred to above.
  • the plate 23 is provided with pivots or trunnions 26 of true semi-cylindrical section which, after having been introduced between the flat edges of slots 21 in the side Walls ofv the trough basin I', rest on thesemi-cylindrical surfaces 28 of the inner ends of the slots 21 Which thus form the bearings for the trunnions 26.
  • the outlet or discharge nozzle 4 ⁇ is located above the front edge 29a of the trough basin I.
  • the animal in pushing its nose against the part or arm 24 of the operating plate 23, causes the latter to pivot on its trunnions 26, and the face I8 of its horizontal part comes into Contact with the edges II of the cross-piece I which it lifts, and consequently also the rod 'I which, in turn, lifts the valve member 6 which is rigid with the weight I4.
  • the sealing disc 5 is raised with the other parts, and the liquid can freely discharge through the nozzle 4 and pour out into the pan I of the trough.
  • the animal having ceased to drink, withdraws, and the weight I4 not being held raised, falls correctly, since the centre of gravity of the whole is appreciably below the perennial of4 nozzle 4.
  • An 'automatic drinkingY trough' comprising a basin, a vertical 'hollow' cylindrical guide-pillar in said basin adiacenti the rear wall thereof'having a discharge nozzle at the upper end and'connected at theilower end with a fluid feed pipe, a.
