UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM A. HINES, OF STAFFORD, KANSAS.
ANlMAL-POKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 673,168, dated April 30, 1901.
Application filed January 3, 1901 Serial No. 41,945. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. HINES, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Stafiord, in the county of Stafford and State of Kansas, have invented a new and Improved Animal-Poke, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.
'This invention relates to improvements in animal-pokes; and the object is to provide a poke of simple construction particularly adapted for hogs to prevent them from passing through or under a wire or other fence.
I will describe an animal-poke embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claim.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is aside view showing a poke embodying my invention applied for service. Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the poke. Fig. 3 is a view showing diiferent positions assumed by certain parts of the device, and Fig. 4 shows a modification.
The poke comprises a fulcrum-ring 1, from which arms 2 extend outward and then downward and terminate in eyes 3, with which fastening-straps 4 are designed to be engaged for securing the device around the animals neck. It will be here seen that the arms 2 engage with the hogs neck directly back of the ears. Pivoted to the ring 1 is a nose-prod consisting of a lever 5,having at its free end points 6, designed to engage with and prick the nose of the hog should he attempt to'pass through a fence or underneath the same. Also pivoted to this ring 1 is an upwardlyextending actuating-lever 7, the upper end of which is turned forward, as at 8, to form a hook or hooks for engaging with a wire of a fence. The lever 7 at its lower end is divided into two members, which are pivoted to the ring, while one member is extended down and has sliding connection with the upper end of the prod arm or lever 5. As here shown, the pivot 9, connected to the extended member of the actuating-lever,passes through a loop 10 on the upper end of the prod arm or lever within the ring. The actuating-lever and prod are normally held with the prodpoints out of engagement with the hogs nose by means of a spring 11, here shown as connected to the ring 1 and havingits free end engaging with a ring 12 on the actuating-lever.-
In Figs. 2 and 3 the ring 1 is indicated as formed in a double coil and the prod-arm pivoted between them.
In operation Figs. 1 and 2 show the device with its parts in normal position, and should the pig or hog or other animal to which the device is attached attempt to pass through a fence the wires or bars thereof will engage with the actuating-lever 7, forcing it back ward, and consequently through its connec-' tion with the prod arm or lever will turn said prod arm or lever on its pivot, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 3, and force the points 6 upon or into the animals nose. When the animal moves backward and disengages the actuating-lever from the fence, the spring 11 will return the parts to their normal position.
Instead of a sliding connection between the parts 5 and7 the upper end of the prod 5 may be pivoted to the lever 7, in which event the prod must have a sliding connection with the ring 1, as shown in Fig. 4.--that is, the arm 5 is provided with a loop through which the ring passes, and a pin on the ring forms the fulcrum on which the loop portion slides.
. Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- An animal-poke,comprising a fulcrumming, arms extended outward and then downward from opposite sides of said ring for engaging with the opposite sides of an animals neck, a prod arm or lever mounted to swing on said ring, an actuating-lever pivoted to the ring and having sliding connection With the upper end of the prod-lever, and a spring for holding said parts yieldingly in normal position, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILLIAM A. HINES.
