STALL-BOTTOM Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 1'7, 1905.
Application filed nuary 17, 1905. Serial No. 241,510.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that 1, ROBERT NEWALL, manufacturer,a subject of the King of GreatBritain, residing in the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stall-Bottoms, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in stall-bottoms; and the objects of my invention are, first, to provide an absolutely sanitary stall-bottom; secondly, to enable the horse to stand in water in order that his hoofs may be softened; thirdly, to provide a stall-bottom so that in case the drains connected therewith should be choked it will be an easy matter to flush same out; and it consists, essentially, of a basin divided into two compartments, one compartment being larger than the other, and a plurality of bars or cross-pieces removably supported within said larger compartment and drain connections for said basin, as
hereinafter more particularly explained.
Figure 1 is a general perspective view of my preferred form of stall-bottom. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section on the line a b, Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by arrow. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section through my stall-bottom. Fig. I is a perspective view of part of the outer portion of the stall-bottom, showing same constructed with plates to prevent the droppings from passing into the basin; and Fig. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of two of the bars or cross-pieces provided with a plate.
In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.
A represents the vertical sides of the stall, and B the usual sides of the stall-bottom, which preferably slope inward. The stall-bottomis, of course, preferably made of concrete or similar material, and in same I construct a basin O, in which I preferably place a correspondingly-shaped metal basin D. Suitably supported within the basin D are a series of bars or cross-pieces E, the top portions of which are flush with the top edge of said basin. As shown, these bars or cross-pieces are not fitted one against the other, and at their ends they rest upon shoulders a and a, constructed in the basin D, or may be supported in any other suitable manner. In order to give the said bars or cross-pieces support midway their length, I secure in the basin D supporting means separate from said bars or crosspieces. My preferred means for supporting said bars or cross-pieces consists of a plural ity of pins F, which fit into holes G, made in the under side of the bars or cross-pieces E.
As shown, the basin D gradually gets deeper from its inner end H toward its outer end I. It will also be noticed that the bottom sides f of the basin D slope inward toward its middle, thus making the bottom for the said basin trough-shaped, so as to facilitate drainage. By means of any suitable drain connection J connected thereto the material is carried away from the basin D. In order to enable the horses front feet to be placed in water without disturbing the bars or crosspieces E, I secure to or form part of said basin a partition L, which divides the basin D into two compartments K and K. Flush with the top of the bars or cross-pieces E is a covering M, which rests upon the top of the partition L and against the inner ends of the cross-pieces E and upon the shoulder a, formed in the inner end H of the basin D. By removing the cover M and filling the compartment K with water the horses front feet are placed therein for the purpose before described. By means of the passage-way or opening N in the partition L the compartment K drains into the compartment K. In order to retain water in the compartment K, the
passage-way or opening N is plugged up by any suitable means; When through using the compartment K, the plug is removed from the opening N and the cover M replaced.
When it is desired to place the horses back feet in water, the bars or cross-pieces E are removed and the drain connection J plugged up, so as to prevent thewater from running awayl I To prevent as far as possible the droppings from passing into the basin D, I secure at the outer ends of the bars or cross-pieces E a series of plates O. These plates are provided with horizontal flanges o and 0 which are countersunk in the upper surfaces of the bars or cross-pieces E, and their inner edges are constructed at a downwardly-inclined angle, so as to provide a trough .0 for the purpose of drainage. As will be seen from Figs. 4 and 5, these plates O are secured by the screws 0 or in any other suitable manner. Any one bar or cross-piece may be removed without necessitating the removal of the others.
As will be seen from Figs. 2 and 3, the bars or cross-pieces E do not rest upon the bottom of the basin.
Although I preferably use a metal basin or lining within the basin C, I do not confine myself to using same, and for the purposes of the claims the mere expression basin must be read as meaning the concrete basin C. Although shown in the drawings that the compartments K and K are formed in the integral basin D, it must be clearly understood that I do not confine myself to this construction. I may dispense altogether with the metal basin D and merely use the basin C and divide same into two compartments by means of a suitable partition.
It will of course be understood that the drain connection J may be constructed so as to form the well-known trap. As there will be more or less Water in the basin D, it will be understood that no odor can get up through the drain-pipes into the stable. Each stallbottom is a separate unit.
I do not confine myself to the construction herein shown and described, as same can be altered in various ways without departing from the spirit of my invention.
