'KNOCK'DOWN COOP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 291,027, dated January 1, 1884.
(No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN BURNS, a citizen of the United States, residing atChicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Knockdown Coops, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention andimprovement, in which-- Figure l is an isometrical representation of my new and improved coop put up in the form for transporting chickens or general poultry; Fig. 2, anisometrical view of the top and ends of the coop placed vertically over the sides and bottom,preparatory to the parts being united to form the coop shown at Fig. 1. Fig. 3, Sheet 2, shows an end view of the 1 parts in knockdown form for return shipment; Fig. 4, a side elevation of the parts in knockdown form. I
The present invention relates to an improvement in coops for shipping poultry, which are to be so manipulated for return shipment as to occupy a smaller space than where set up for transporting poultry.
v The invention in brief consistsin a slatted top part hingedtoslatted end parts, and a bottom part hinged to slatted side parts, the end parts being tongued into the side parts, and the upper and lower sections held together by hooks. The lower inside portions of the end parts are provided with crosspieces, which serve to support the bolts which hold the coop in a knockdown form, and
serve to hold the end parts level in a knockdown form; and the top is provided with a slip-slat forthe removal of the poultry.
A represents the top part of the coop,which is composed of strong end rails, B B, and side stiles, O C, halved together at their ends, and secured by wrought nails clinched. A middle rail, D, is also halved onto the stiles O, and gained intothese three rails are the top slats, e 6,850.,13116 middle slat, f, being made to slide in guides to a a, attached to the rails B B D, that access may be had to the inside of the coop. To this top part thus formed are hinged, at m m, end parts, E,
which are composed of strong top and bot:
tom rails, F G, and stiles H H, which are halved together at their ends, and secured by wrought nails driven through and clinched. The stiles H H are provided with tongues I Ion their outer edges, respectively, for uniting with the sides J J by means of grooves b b,formed therein, and gained into and fastened to the outsides of the stiles H are slats d d d.
The sides 'J are composed of stiles L L L and rails M M, united similarly to those stiles and rails aforementioned, and are slatted at g similarly to the ends E.
The bottomT is composed of long sills P I, halved to short sills R R R, and secured by clinched wrought nails. The short sills projecting above the long sills provide room for the bottom boards, S S, between the sides J and the sills P P.
The top A is hinged to the ends E at m, and the sides J are hinged to the bottom T at h, so that the ends will fold under the top A, and the sides fold onto the bottom T, when the crate is in knockdown form, as shown at Figs. 3 and 4, Sheet 2. That the ends E may fold parallel with the top A, their inside lower parts have attached thereto crosspieces U U, respectively, which serve the purpose of carriers for the bolts 20, which hold the coop firm in a knockdown shape, holes 00 being made in the cross-pieces for that purpose. Then the crate is knocked down, the bolts 10 are put through the holes w in the top and bottom cross-pieces. The two main sections of the coop areheld in the shape shown at Fig. 1 by hooks and screws n p, of ordinary construction. The advantage of this construction is its cheapness and simplicity of construction, and especially the rapidity with which it can be knocked down and set up; and in this respect I have overcome the objections which are found in other coops. In practice the rails and stiles for a forty-four inch coop should be one inch by one and onehalf inch stuff, and the slats one-half inch thick by one and one-half inch wide. I conby the bolts '10 10, substantially as shown and described.
