PEROI-I FOR CHIGICEN-ROOSTS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 23, 1908.
Patented Dec. 15, 1908.
Serial No. 440,002.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL S. THORN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lothrop, in the county of Missoula and State of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Perches for Chicken- Roosts, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in perches for chicken or hen roosts of that class which are designed to hold oil or some other substance to prevent the collection of vermin, and it has for its objects among others to provide a simple and cheap device of this character for holding perches or nests for setting hens, readily applied in any desired position and having provision for holding the roosts so they may e readily removed for cleaning. The device is made with a supporting member which may assume a variet of forms, and the por tion which engages the roost and supports it may be of any desired form, preferably detachable.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the numerals of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is an elvation with the roosting member broken away. Fig. 2 is a view at right angles to Fig. 1 with portions broken awa and parts in vertical section. Fig. 3 is an e evation showing the device with a modified form of supporting member. Fig. 4. is an elevation showing a modification of the member which supports the roost. Fig. 5 is an elevation showing the device modified to adapt it for support from a vertical wall or the like.
Like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings 1 designates the cup or receptacle which is formed integral with the post portion 2 which latter has cast or otherwise formed integral therewith the base portion 3. This base portion 3, or the securing portion may be at a right angle to the post as seen in Figs. 1, 2 and 4 so that the perch may be set with the post vertically disposed, as shown, or the securing or base portion may be set at an angle to the post other than a right angle as seen in Fig. 3 at 4,
so that the perch may be secured to a support which is not horizontal and yet bring the post and cup in a vertical position, as will be readily understood from said Fig. 3.
In Fig. 5 is shown still another disposition of the securing member, in this instance the same being disposed parallel with the post, the latter having at its lower end the lateral portion 5 so that the perch may be secured to a vertical support and yet have the post stand vertically. Other modifications in this particular may be resorted to if desired.
In all forms the post extends both above and below the bottom of the cup or receptacle, the lower portion being connected with the securing means, as shown in the various forms just above described, while the upper portion is designed to receive and support the roost or nest. In the forms shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the upper end of the post carries the two substantially parallel members 6 between which is designed to be received the roost-bar 7 which is made to fit therein so that it may be readily removed for the purpose of cleaning, or otherwise. These members 6 may be formed integral with the upper end of the post, or they may be carried by the hub or boss 8 which is interiorly screw threaded as seen in Fig. 2 to receive the threaded upper end of the post so that the said members 6 may be removed, or adjusted vertically as occasion may require.
In Fig. 1 is shown, in lieu of the members 6, a horizontal supporting member 9 which is designed to support a nest, not shown. This horizontal member may be provided at the ends with openings 10 as indicated by dotted lines, whereby the nest, or any other device, may be secured to the support, if necessary.
In Fig. 5 the horizontal supporting member 11, having the holes 12, is shown as carried by a hub or collar 13, which is screwed upon the upper end of the post so as to be removed when necessary, or vertically adjusted when desired.
The cup or receptacle is designed to contain oil or any other suitable substance to prevent the vermin from getting on the perch or nest or leaving the same.
The device is cheap of manufacture, is efiicient in use and the cu being cast in one piece with the post there 1s no danger of leakage and no place for the vermin to conceal themselves.
What is claimed as new is As an improved article of manufacture, a
bers at opposite ends thereof to frietionally hold a roost bar therebetween.
