UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PATRICK BURKE, OF HELENA, NEW YORK.
STAIBLING COWS.
Specification of Letters PatentNo. 30,294, dated October 9, 1860.
To all whom t may concern:
Be ity known that I, PATRICK BURKE, of Helena, in the county of St. Lawrence and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stabling Cows; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l, represents a plan view of the manger, movable floor, and shelves that are placed on the solid tloor of the stable. Fig. 2, is a vertical longitudinal section taken through the middle of Fig. 1, showing the manger and movable floor, resting on the solid ground floor.
Similar' letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
My invention consists in making the raised bed or floor upon which the cow lies, movable, by placing the same upon rollers, and in perforating this movable floor, for the purpose of allowing urine &c. to pass through it instead of depending upon the inclination of the floor to carry ofl the liquids. I am thereby enabled to make the ground floor of the stable tight and solid to prevent cold air from entering through the floor to the injury of the cattle, and at the same time to conduct off the liquids from the cows bed, without allowing them to run over the surface of the same.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
The stable is not represented in the drawings, as it may be constructed in any suitable manner adapted to various requirements and circumstances, but the flooring of the stable should be solid and built so tight as to prevent the circulation of air through the same. This may be done in any desirable manner.
In the drawings A, represents the manger with slats B in front, between two of which the cows neck is secured while feeding. An
inclined board C, prevents the cow froml losing her feed by pushing it out of the way. This manger is built up from a solid impervious floor, shown in Fig. 1, and lettered D, through which neither air nor water will pass, with the bottom board of the manger raised some distance from the Hoor to admit, under it the sub-floor G. This sub-floor is made up oftwo timbers ruiming longitudinally and connected to two cross timbers, then these are supported upon four or more rollers E, E. The sub-flooring G, is nailed over the timbers and it is filled with perforations a, a. The end of this movable floor is passed under the floor of the manger and secured in a fixed state, by a pin (or pins) b, which pass down through the lower timber that forms part of the front frame of the manger. The part of the movable floor that projects under the manger has several holes bored through it, so that the floor may be drawn out or pushed farther in and fixed by the pin b, according to the size of the cows. In rear of this movable floor Gr, should be made a drain that is sunk in the floor of the stable and properly graded for conducting off the liquids from under the floor Gr to any convenient place outside of the stable. The walk behind the cows bed should be suticiently wide to admit of the Hoor, or ioors if there be several cows to stable, being drawn out for cleaning the stall.
In the corners of the stable may be placed shelves I, I, for resting pails &c. upon.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
The arrangement of the perforated floor G and rollers E with the tight floor D and manger A as and for the purposes herein set forth and described.
his PATRICK BURKE.
