Improvements in Kennels or Hutches, or Houses for Dogs or other
Domestic Animals.
We WILLIAM FRANCIS HOTHERSALL, of No. 1 Harcourt Street, Accountant,
and FRANCIS TURNER, of No. 8 Caton Street, Wheelwright, both of Blackburn in
the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in hutches, houses, or kennels for dogs,
and other domestic animals, or fowls, the object being to construct a house, kennel,
or hutch which will be weather proof, and which can be quickly, and easily
taken down, or divided into several pieces to facilitate removal, or for the purpose
of thoroughly washing, painting, or cleaning. Or one end, side, or the roof only
may be removed, so that the dog, or other occupant has the advantages of more air,
and light.
.
According to this our invention the sides, ends, roof, and floor of the hutch,
house, or kennel are made separately, and are connected, or fixed together as
follows: The floor, or ground piece of the kennel, or hutch has on both ends, and
sides, one, two, or more metal eyes, and the lower edges of the side, and end pieces
have corresponding hooks, or fingers which are received in said eyes. The bottom
edges of the side, and end pieces rest upon the upper surface of the floor, or ground
piece, and on the inner face of the end, or side pieces we form flanges which over-
lap the adjoining edges of the end, or side pieces making a firm, and weather-
proof joint.
The roof piece has flanges on its underside which overlap the side, and end
pieces, and hold them in position, and the roof may, if desired, be further secured
to the side, or end pieces by bolts, or catches.
When the roof is removed either side, or end can be taken off, and the roof
replaced leaving the front, or side of the kennel, or hutch open; or the front or
side piece may be folded down on its hooks, and eyes, until it rests upon the ground
thus forming a warm dry resting board for the dog, or other occupant.
