Complete Specification Left, 13th June, 1891-Accepted, 25th July, 1891
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for Dipping Sheep and other Animals,
I, NATHANIEL BOON of Kirton in Lindsey in the County of Lincoln, Chemist
and Druggist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to apparatus for dipping sheep or other animals. Over a
trough, which may be partly or wholly sunk in the ground, and which is charged
with the dipping liquid, I mount on a horizontal axis two or more arms to the end
of each of which is suspended a cage of wire or other open work, having at cach
end a door. I swing the arms into such a position that a sheep or other animal can
be driven into one of the cages. I close the door and swing the arm down so as to
submerge the cage and animal in the liquid. I then swing the arms farther round
or swing them back, so as bring the cage to a position where the door can be opened
and the animal let out.
The arms and cages and their movement can be so arranged that an animal may
be introduced into one cage to be dipped while another animal is let out of another
cage after having been dipped.
Dated this 9th day of October 1890.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for Dipping Sheep and other Animals.
1, NATHANIEL BOON, of Kirton-in-Lindsey in the County of Lincoln, Chemist
and Druggist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
My invention relates to apparatus for dipping sheep or other animals as shewn
in vertical section partly in elevation by the accompanying drawing.
Over a trough A, which may be partly or wholly sunk in the ground and which
is charged with the dipping liquid, I mount on a horizontal axis B two or more
pairs of arms C of which four pairs are shewn in the drawing. At the ends of
each pair of arms C is suspended a cage D which may be of wire or other open
work, or wood framing as shewn, having at each end a door E hinged to fold down-
wards. 1 swing the arms into such a position that the door of one of the cages
being opened a sheep or other animal can be driven into it. I then close the door
and swing the arms round so as to submerge the cage and animal in the liquid. I
then swing the arms farther round or swing them back so as to bring the cage to a
position where the door can be opened and the animal let out.
The arms and cages and their movements can be so arranged that an animal may
be introduced into one cage to be dipped while another animal is let out of another
cage after having been dipped.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
Apparatus for dipping sheep and other animals consisting of a set of open work
