forPoultry, o f whic the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
his invention relatesto feedin lo and it consists, substantially, in t ofwconstruction and combinations vof parts `hereinafter more particularlydescribed, and pointed outinthe claims.' The inventionhas 'reference' more espe- 'I 5 cially to feeding devices for poultry, as chick- *ens andA theI like and one ofthe principal ob- 'ects thereof is to lprovide a structure of this d which Well as chea to manutacture and economf zo ical, besides beingthoroughly reliable for its purpose and possessing continued service.
The above and additional'objects are at'- tained'jby. means' substantially such as are 2 5 illustrated in the'accompanying drawin s, in which similar characters of reference in lcate corresponding parts in all the ii ures.'
Figure l is a view in perspective of a vfeeding v.device embodying 4my improvements. 3o Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof-on 'the line 2 2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged horizontalsectional plan view onthe line 3 43 in-Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a -view in detail representing a modification of a 3 5; structure, and'Fig.,5 is a'sectional etail view devices e details v on the line 5 5 of Fig. 3,'and Figs. 6,7., and 8y thescreen.- Reference being are detailviews representing modifications of lrepresents mylimproved .feeding device in entirety, the same comprising l a reservoir or box ,h`a`ving affront 2 andfa back 3, together vWith a-base4, referablyextending forwardly '45 beyondfthe front 2, as 'indicated at 5, in the -formation of the Atrough 6, the iront wall of which is indicated at 7 -`and the end or'side walls offwhich are indicated at 8 and 9. The front and back of the box I nay'beof e ual as herein shown, the said bac is vconsiderfjibl the space betweenl kthe two is closed by a lcoverQ", Whichis preferably hinged to the 'upper ed e of theback 3 at 1`0,so as to be ca- 55 pa 1e`of eing '.FEDiNsfDEv'IcE Foa-Poema,

higherthan lthe said front, and f v readily raised forthe purpose 4 of introducing the feed 11 to the interiorof cosenza, MASSACHUSETTS.
'lithuanitrh boa is, thereof l With an inclined ing' from the inner surface oyided imeorliy ottoni 12, exten of the'back3 at a the' base 4 of the structure, the lower end of said bottom. bein substantiallin alinement with the lower e ge of the sai front-2 ofthe box. Preferably 'I "construct fthe box of a pluralityof compartments 13,. e ach ofwhich maybe employed for containing a different kind of feed from that contained 1n the others, and leading from thecentral one of said comartments 1s an opening 14 of suitable hei htv aving communication near thelower e ge of the said front 2 of the box With the interior of the central compartment 15 ofthe trough 6 formed by partitions 16, disposed Within the trough on either side of'said opening 14 and at sultable distances from the said end or side Walls 8 and 9 of the trough. In this Way additional compartments 17 and 18 are provided Within-the trough, communicating w1th Which in like manner as: the said opening 14 communicates with the compartment 15 are the 2 ofthe b oX on either side ofand at suitable distances from the said openin 14, lthese` openings 19. and 20being preferab yof smaller. dlmenslons. than the opening 14, althoughit` terialas 'far as my VceIned.' l Each of the the said front 2 ofthe reservoir or box l-is covered by a screen 21, of open-Work or re# ticulated 'material-as Wire-gauze, fory instance-fof any desired mesh, so as to enable thefeed 11 Within the b ox 1 (or rather. Within the several'compartments thereof) -to gravi? tate or fall from the interior of the box to the' interior of the several compartments of the trough 6, it beingnoted that either one or all 4ipreferably provided at a suitable distance omtheu'pper edges' of the partitions 16 of the trough and front. and end Walls ot the latter With a screen-covering 22, of open-Work of suitable mesh and, which may be conven iently constructed of reticulated material, suchas Wire-gauze. It lwill be noted that the upper edge of the front Wall 7 of the trough is provided with a longitudinal extension 23, to
of the said compartments of .the trough are IOO rwhich the outer edge of the said screen-cover- I I O Smtabhheight 'thereof t the upper-side ofso". i`
`8o i vopenings 19- and 20, formed inthefsaid from.
W-ill be understood that this 1s entirely immaimprovements are oo n-v opeingsli, 19, andzoavithin on its'under face for a `purpose to be presently explained. I n like manner each of the end or side walls 8 and 9 of the trough 1s pro-` vided with an extension 24, joining an end of 251 try by picking at the feed through the said "other instance'freferred to, eac `v .tions 16 is provided at its u the Astrip 23 at right angles and the Vunder Y surface of which is beveled at 25in like manas 1n the .inclination of the bottom 12 of the box be1 caused to gravitate toward or in the direction of the front 2 at the base 4, and the finer articles of the feed will beprecipitated om each of the compartments of the box through the meshes of the screen which coversv t e opening leading from the said compartment to thecorresponding compartment therefor in the trough. The chickens or other poulscreens cause the feed to be loosened up in such manner as to be continuously supplied to thevseveral compartments of the trough in an obvious manner. The openings of the screen-coverings for the compartments of the trough are of sufficient dimensions to pernnt the poultry to project their bills therethrough,
so as to pick the feed from out of the compartments, and in virtue of the presence of the wires or bars of which the screen-coverings are made up itis apparent that the poultrycannot throw or scatter the feed in any attem t to throw their bills from one side or the ot er.
In Fig. 4 I have shown at 27 `a small portion of aforaminated material, which may in vsome instances be convenientl "substituted for the reticulated material, suc as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, both as coverings for the open- ,i ings in the front ' 2 of the box aswell as for'the compartments of the trough.
T e beveled extensions at the upper edges of the front and end Walls of the trough,to gether with those at the upper edges of the partitions for the trough, serve practically as guards for assisting to prevent Waste of the v feed in that as themasses of feed Within the complartments are moved about or stirred up hlt e picking movements of the bills of the c 'ckens said-extensions prevent any of the feed from Working out over the edges referred to. These extensions also serve as a convenient means for attaching the o enwork coverings within the trough, as Wi l be apparent.
Instead of'emplo g either foraminated or reticulated material for the feed-o enings, 'as above indicated, I may em lo ars 28,
extending across the same para lel y and disosed suitable distances apart, as shown in iiii 6, for instance, or I' ma employ bars 29, ra "ating from some point not shown) without the opening, as indicated in Fig. 7. Still further, may use instead of these forms a series of bars. 30, radiating from a point within the opening-sa at 31, Fig. 8, for instance-either of the har forms suggested b eing comprehended by my invention and constituting an effective screen for the purpose stated. The bars-in either form shown may be disposed the same distances apart, or some of them may be farther apart than others-as, for instance, near the lower edge of the screen-so as to enable the feed to fall through the more readily, particularl when there 1s an tcndenc to packing of t e finer articles o feed in t e bottom of the ho per ormed by the bottom 12 and front 2 o the structure. t
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-.-
