PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION,
Certain Improvements in Earthenware or Sanitary Mangers for
Horses and Oattle.
I, WILLIAM OATES, of the Firm of Oates and Green, Limited, of Horley Green
Works, Halifax, in the County of York, Sanitary Engineers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows: -
According to one method of carrying out my invention in earthenware or
sanitary mangers, I employ a horizontal metal bolt passed through the back
and front sides of the said manger; my invention also consists in the method
of fastening such bolt in a fixed position and also in the method of preventing
the loop or ring to which the animal is attached from damaging or breaking
the sides of the manger by the continual knocking of the said ring which is
occasioned by the movement of the horse or cow fastened up in its stall.
To carry out such objects the bolt is passed through the back side of the
manger and made secure by lock nuts whilst the front end is passed through an
opening in the front of the manger, the front end of said rod being looped so
as to carry the ring. To prevent the ring from damaging the side of the
earthenware manger, by continual banging of the said ring against said manger,
I fix a plate against the front of the manger, and in order to prevent the bolt
twisting or turning around, the opening in the plate (through which the looped
bolt passes) is formed taper or other suitable shape, whereby the bolt is made firm
and secure.
COW to an
According to another method of securing either a horse or a
earthenware or sanitary manger, I make an enlargement in the front side of
the manger provided with a vertical opening through which is passed a tube
composed of metal or other suitable material, such said tube being secured in
position by screwed caps or other means. A weighted rope or chain is passed
through the vertical tube for the animal to be attached to, thus permitting
perfect freedom for the movement of the animal's head without damaging the
manger.

page_text: 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:-
According to one method of carrying out my invention in earthenware or
sanitary mangers, I employ a horizontal metal bolt passed through the back
and front sides of the said manger; my invention also consists in the method
of fastening such bolt in a fixed position and also in the method of preventing
the loop or ring to which the animal is attached from damaging or breaking
the sides of the manger by the continual knocking of the said ring which is
occasioned by the movement of the horse or cow fastened up in its stall. To
carry out such objects the bolt is passed through the back side of the manger
and made secure by lock nuts whilst the front end is passed through an opening
in the front of the manger, the front end of said rod being looped so as to carry
the ring.
To prevent the ring from damaging the side of the earthenware
manger, by continual banging of the said ring against said manger, the front
of the manger is countersunk and a plate is let into this recess which plate
stands clear of the front of the said manger, the looped bolt being made to pass
through an opening of suitable size in the plate. This arrangement prevents
the ring from wearing the front of the manger, and at the same time is the
means of preventing the bolt twisting or turning round.
COTF to an
According to another method of securing either a horse or a
earthenware or sanitary manger, I make an enlargement in the front or back of
the manger provided with a vertical opening through which is passed a tube
composed of metal or other suitable material, such said tube being secured in
position by screwed caps or other means. A weighted rope, chain, or strap is
passed through the vertical tube for the animal to be attached to, thus permitting
perfect freedom for the movement of the animal's head without damaging the
manger.
The nature of my said invention will be better understood by reference to
the accompanying sheet of drawings wherein :-
Fig. 1 is sectional end elevation of a manger shewing, my improved arrange-
ment of fastening bolt and ring,
Fig. 2 is front elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is plan of a portion of a manger shewing another fastening arrange-
ment, and
Fig. 4 is sectional end elevation taken on line 1-1 of Fig. 3.
"
Referring firstly to Figs. 1 & 2 of the drawings letter a represents the body
of an earthenware or like manger; a horizontal bolt passing through the
manger from front to rear, and being secured at the rear side of said manger
by lock nuts c." The front end of the bolt "6" is curved or bent as shewn
in the form of a loop 61, from which depends the ring "d" through which the
fastening rope, chain, or strap passes. The front of the manger is countersunk
at a opposite to the ring "d" and a plate "e" is let into this recess, the said
plate projecting slightly from the front of the manger The loop b¹ of the
bolt "6" passes through an opening of suitable size in the plate "e," which
serves the dual purpose of preventing the bolt "6" from turning or twisting
around and at the same time prevents the ring "d" from coming in contact
with and thus damaging, the manger
66 a." The plate "e" may be secured to
the manger
"a" by screws or other suitable means. Referring now to Figs. 3
& 4, letter f represents a tube of metal or other suitable material passed through
a vertical opening in an enlargement a² at the back of the manger, the said tube
being secured in position by means of screwed caps "g" & "h" or like means.
A weighted rope, chain, or strap passes through the tube "f" to which weighted
rope, chain, or strap the animal is secured. If desired, instead of the tube "f"
being passed through an enlargement at the back of the manger the enlarge-
ment may be formed at the front of the said manger as shewn in dotted lines
in Fig. 3.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
(1) In earthenware or sanitary mangers for horses and cattle, the use and
employment of looped bolt "b," plate "e," in recess a¹, and ring "d" all in
combination and constructed and arranged substantially as shewn in Figs. 1 & 2
of the drawings and for the purposes herein described.
(2) In earthenware or sanitary mangers for horses and cattle the employment
of tube "f" passing through enlargement a² and secured by screwed caps "g"
& "" or their equivalents substantially as shewn in Figs. 3 & 4 of the draw-
ings and herein described.
