STANCHION.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 642,647, dated February 6, 1900.
Application filed June 8, 1899- Serial. No. 719,847. (No model.)
' tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in' the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to the care of live stock, and more especially to stanchions used for the reception of the necks of cows and the like in the stable; and the object of the same is to produce an improved construction of such stanchion for catching the cows necks therein and releasing them therefrom.
To this end the invention consists in the specific construction of stanchion and op erating inechanismtherefor described below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a general elevation',partly broken away, showing our invention complete, with the parts in full lines in position to clamp a cows neck therein. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional-view showing the movable bar as open for the release of the cows neck. Fig. 3 is a detailed sectional view.
Referring to the said drawings, the letter A designates the framework, consisting in the present instance of top and bottom bars, of any suitable construction and character, fixedly located as a part of the stall in which the animal is to be confined. B is a solid block pivoted in thelower portion of said framework, as on an ordinary pivot b.
O is a bar fixedly secured at its lower end in the block 13 and also fixedly secured-at its upper end between duplicate blocks E, and D is a pivoted bar havinga reduced and shouldered lower end d, resting removably in a socket and on the upper face of the block B, and a notched upper end cl, which latter passes loosely between the members or parts of the duplicate blocks E. This bar D is adapted to be raised so as to remove its lower end (1 from engagement with the lower block B, after which it can be inclined laterally and entirely withdrawn from place.
F is a catch pivoted at f between the blocks E in such manner that its outer end F stands beneath the top bar of the framework A, and its inner and heavier end, where notched, as at f, is adapted to engage the back of the upper end of the bar D when the latter stands.
A is a notch in the lower face of the top bar of the framework A, with which notch the outer end F of the catch F engages when its inner end is disengaged from the back of the bar D, as seen in dotted lines in Fig. l, and by this means the stanchion is prevented from turning on its pivots Z) c when its bars 0 D are open. Hence the cow or other animal entering the stall and finding the stanchion open cannot accidentally turn it so that it will be impossible for her to insert her neck therein; but having soinserted her neck and been locked by pull on cord M she is held therein.
The upper block is preferably made in pairs or members E, separated by spacing-blocks E, and between which'members the upper extremity of the bar 0 is rigidly secured, as by bolts or screws, and the upper extremity of the bar D moves around its pivot, at the lower end thereof, and e is a tubular pivot passing loosely down through the upper part of the framework A and shouldered, as at e, where it engages the upper block of the stanchion. By this construction it may be removed at will and when in place will support such stanchion in a pivotal manner to allow the cow or other animal to'turn about as required.
The letter G designates a cord or string at tached, as at g, to the upper end of the pivoted bar D, passing thence under a pulley g, journaled on a pin between the members E of the upper block, thence up through the tubular pivot 6, over another pulley g, and away to a suitable point, and all the cords of the several stanchions in a stable or other house may be connected with one main cord M, which can be operated from the dwelling or a remote'point, as in times of storm,it desired. The above cord forms the catching device for engaging the necks of the stock; but
ICO
we may employ a releasing device consisting of another cord, chain, or string connected with a main cord N, passing over the pulley g", branched, as at H, beneath the pulley g, and passing thence over another pulley h to the engaging end of the catch F, and by pulling on this branch cord H we can raise the engaging end of the catch and release the neck of the animal. Any suitable stop S may be employed to prevent the upper end of the bar D from falling too far away from the fixed bar 0. It will be clear that by the construction illustrated a pull upon the main cord M will draw the upper end of the bar D inward toward and into parallelism with the fixed bar 0 and will catch between the said bars the necks of the animals that may be interposed therebetween, while a pull upon the cord N will raise the ends of the catches F and release the stock from all the stalls.
Obviously it is our intention at predetermined hours to feed into the troughs of the animals stalls such grain or fodder as will necessarily call them thereinto, and then by a pull upon the main or master cord M we lock all the stock in place for the night. Again, in the morning. after feeding, proper manipulation of the other cord N will release all the stock and permit them to depart from the barn or stable to the pasture, as is desired.
All parts of our device are of the desired sizes, shapes, proportions, and materials, and such changes in the details thereof may be made as do not depart from the principle thereof, the latter consisting in pivoting the top and bottom blocks and in leading through the upper block cords for the operation of the pivoted bar and of the catch.
\Vhat is claimed as new is 1. In a stanchion, the combination with the framework, and the stanchion proper consisting of top and bottom blocks mounted on alined Vertical pivots in said framework of which the uppermost is tubular, one upright bar connecting said blocks and fixed thereto, and a second bar pivoted in the lower block and having its upper end movable in the upper block; of a catch pivoted within the upper block and having a notched inner end adapted to engage the upper end of the pivoted bar when the latter is vertical, a cord leading from said inner end of the catch out through said tubular pivot for the upper block, and pulleys therefor, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a stanchion, the combination with the framework having a notch in its lower side, and the stanchion proper consisting of top and bottom blocks mounted on alined vertical pivots in said framework, one upright bar 3. In a stanchion, the combination with the framework, the top and bottom blocks pivoted in said framework on alined pivots of which the uppermost is tubular, said top block being in two spaced members, a rigid bar connecting said blocks, and a pivoted bar; of pulleys between the members of the upper block, and a cord leading from the upper free end of the pivoted bar, over said pulleys, out through the tubular upper pivot to the main cord, as and for the purpose set forth.
4. In a stanchion, the combination with the framework, the top and bottom blocks pivoted therein on alined pivots the uppermost of which is tubular and shouldered into the upper block, a fixed bar connecting the blocks, and a second bar pivoted in the lower block and moving between the members of the upper block; of a main cord passing over said stanchion,a bran ch cord leading down through said tubular upper pivot and connected with the upper end of the pivoted bar, a catch pivoted within the upper block and engaging the end of said pivoted bar when the latter is upright, a second main cord, and a cord branched from the second main cord and connected with the free end of this catch, as and for the purpose set forth.
5. In a stanchion, the combination with the framework, the top and bottom blocks pivoted therein on alined pivots, a fixed bar 0011- necting the blocks, and a second bar having a reduced lower end pivotally and removably seated in a socket in the lower block and moving at its upper end between the members of the upper block; of means for operating the pivoted bar, a catch pivoted within the upper block and engaging the end of said pivoted bar when the latter is upright, a main cord, and a cord branched from the main cord and connected with the free end of this catch, as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
