To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, JAMES E. WALLACE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Blackwell, in the county of Kay and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Hog Shed and Chute; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to a combinedhog shed and chute.
The objects of the invention are, first, to provide a substantial, convenient and chea ly constructed chute; second, to form tige chute in such a manner that it will be of benefit and will serve other purposes than as a chute when not in use as such, third, to provide a suitable and serviceable shed that can be properly lighted and ventilated and is easily accessible for cleaning and, fourth,
to combine in one both a chute and shed with a minimum of material.
T he device is especially adapted for use in connection with railway sheds where the animals are taken off the cars for watering and feeding. In this combination of the device, the shed is located adjacent the tracks so that a gang-way may be conveniently used from the cars to the chute.
With these objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of arts as will be fully described and particu arly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the device with parts broken away; Fig. 3 is a side elevation looking in the direction of the arrow of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view with the roof in place; Fig. 5 is a similar sectional view with the roof lowered to form the chute; and Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.
Referring more especially to the drawings,
1 represents a suitable inclosure which comprises side walls, 2, front end walls 3, and rear end walls 4, the latter having a less elevation than the former, and the sides 2 tapering from the front walls to the rear walls to give a sufficient slant to the roof hereinafter described, and to prevent excessive rise in the chute when lowered. Extending longitudinally of the inclosure, 1, from the front end wall, 3, to the rear end walls, 4, is a pair of parallel sleepers, 5, and 6, fromthe ends of and 8, the former of which is located adjacent the rear end wall 4 and supporting a roof girder, 9, and the latter located adjacent the forward end walls and supporting roof girders, 10. central opening, 11, through which the animals pass going into and out of theshed. Outside of the inclosure and attached to the frontwalls is a pair of vertically extending beams, 12 and 13, connected at their top by a transverse girder, 14, upon which are supported operating pulleys, 15 and 16. Both of the girders, 12 and 13, are provided with alined apertures, 18 and 19, to receive a su porting bar, the function of which will e hereinafter described.
Hinged to the rear end wall, 4, by a hinge member, 20, is a longitudinal ridge piece, 21, provided with anti-slipping cleats, 22, .on its upper surface, and hinged at each edge of the ridge piece by hinges 22a are roof sections, 23, and 24. The inner edge of these sections is adapted to lie underneath the ridge piece, and the outer edge isadapted to overlie the side walls 2 of the inclosure. An apertured lug, 25, projects outwardly toward the front from the hinge member 26 to which the roof sections are attached. Journaled on the side of the member 13 in a bearing head 27 is' a drum shaft, 28, upon which is secured a ratchet wheel, 29, adapted to be engaged by a pawl, 30, carried by the extension arm, 31, vwhich supports the outer end of the drum shaft. A pair of ropes or chains 31a are wound upon the drum and extend over the pulleys 15 and 16, and have their outer ends connected to the sides of the roof sections 23 and 24, so as to allow them to be raised thereby. A transverse supporting bar 23 passes through the apertures 18 and 19 on the meinbers 12 and 13, and through the apertured lug, 25, so as to normally hold the ridge piece 21 in roof-supporting position.
When it is desired to use the device for a chute,l the crank handle of the drum is rotated and the roof sections turned to vertical. The supporting bar 33 is then removed and the ridge piece and its associated roof sections allowed to drop down as shown in Fig. 5. The roof sections form the sides of the chute, and the members 8 on the opposite sides of the entrance, guide the chute in its movements. To maintain the opening uni- The front Wall 1s provided with a.
VWhich extend vertical supporting braces, 7
form in size, I provide a tie member, 35, which bridges the girders 5 and and prevents their spreading. Roof supporting girders 36 extend from the front to the back ends of the shed, vertically disposed above the Uirders 5 and and .hook rods 37 are carried Ioy the roof sections so as to engage eyes 3S in the rear wall 4 for holding a roof in position to act as such.
From the foregoingdescriptioii, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readilyunderstood without requiring a more extended explanation.'
Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as defined in the appended claims. A
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:
1. In a device of the class described, an inclosure, a roof therefor comprising hinged sections and a ridge piece inter-connecting them, and means for turning the roof into a chute.
2. In a device of the class described., an inclosure a roof therefor comprisingv a center section, a pair of side sections hinged thereto, and means for lowering the roof to form a chute with the sections as sides.
3. In a y.device of the class described', the combination with an inclosure, of a roof comprising a ridge piece and roof sections connected thereto, and means for raising and lowering said sections, and for lowering the ridge piece at one end whereby it may be utilized as a chute.
4. In a device of the class described, the
lcombination lwith an inclosure, of a cover therefor comprising a ridge piece and sections hinged thereto, means pivotally connecting the ridge piece to the inclosure at one end,l
means temporarily supporting the other end of the ridge piece, and means for elevating the sections on the ridge piece, and for lower- `ing the ridge piece and sections together to form a chute.
`5. In a device of the class described, a roof com rising a )air of sections a su ortin center section therefor, means for raising an lowering the roof, and cleats on its surface.
6. A roof ridge piece having sections hinged thereto, and means for lowering said ridge piece and sections whereby the ridge piece may be utilized as the gangway of a chute and the sections as sides thereof.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in vpresence of two subscribing wit- IlGSSeS.
