I, HERBERT JOHN ALLISON, of the firm of Allison Brothers, of 52 Chancery
Lane, London, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agents, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVED SLIDE ATTACHMENT FOR SECURING
HORSES, CATTLE OR OTHER ANIMALS to be as follows:-
"
-
The object of this invention is to provide a new mode of fixing the rod upon
which the chain slides, so as to facilitate the changing of the chain. This improved
slide attachment is composed of a rod, a socket and a chain with a movable ring
which slides on the rod. The top part of the rod is turned over to form a hook
which is adapted to fit into a hole made in the knob or head of the socket. The
bottom end of the rod is made in the form of a fork and is secured in the wall.
The socket is provided with two square holes in which are inserted the bolts which
attach the socket and at the same time the rod to the manger.
When it is necessary to change the chain the two bolts of the socket are
unscrewed and the rod lifted up.
The socket for receiving the upper end of the rod may be cast on the manger
and in this case the lower end of the rod is bolted to a support which is secured
in the wall. In order to change the chain the two bolts of the support are
unscrewed..
When it is desired to prevent the horse or other animal lying down, the ring of
the chain which is provided with a safety key is brought up to the top and the
safety key is fixed in the eye of a ring bolt formed on the socket, which retains the
ring of the chain.

I, HERBERT JOHN ALLISON, of the firm of Allison Brothers, of 52 Chancery
Lane, London, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agents, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVED SLIDE ATTACHMENT FOR SECURING
HORSES, CATTLE OR OTHER ANIMALS" and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
=
The object of this invention is to provide a new mode of fixing the rod upon
which the chain slides, so as to facilitate the changing of the chain, as represented
in Figs. 1 to 8 of the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a transverse section showing the piece which receives the turned over
top end of the rod, cast with the manger.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the chain c, rod a, and the socket b.
Fig. 3 is a view showing the inner face of the socket b.
Fig. 4 is a side view of the rod a and the socket b.
Fig. 5 is a horizontal section of Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 shows the ring d of the chain c retained by the safety key l.
Fig. 7 shows the safety key l.
Fig. 8 shows the ring bolt m.
This improved slide attachment is composed of a rod a, the socket b, the chain c
with the movable ring d, which slides on the rod a. The top part e of the rod a is
turned over to form a hook which is adapted to fit into the hole f of the knob or
head of the socket b. The bottom end of the rod a is made in the form of a fork
and is secured in the wall.
The plates serve as ornaments to cover up the holes made for fastening the
forked ends in the wall.
The socket 6 forms at its top a knob g having a hole f, which serves to receive
the turned over ends of the rod a; further, the socket 6 is provided with two
square holes i in which are inserted the bolts which attach the socket b and at the
same the rod a to the manger.
When it is necessary to change the chain c, the two bolts of the socket b are
unscrewed and the rod a lifted up.
In the case where the manger is supplied at the middle of each stall with a
knob g (see Fig. 1.), in which is pierced the hole f which receives the turned over
end e of the rod a, this latter is bolted on the support k which is secured in the
wall. In order to change the chain the two bolts of the support k are unscrewed.
When it is desired to prevent the horse or other animal lying down, the ring d
with the safety key 7 is brought up to the top of the rod a, and the safety key is
fixed in the eye of the ring bolt m, which retains the ring d of the chain.
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. An improved slide attachment for securing horses, cattle or other animals,
consisting in a rod a, a socket b and chain c, permitting the changing of chain o,

shown.
2. An improved slide attachment for securing horses, cattle or other animals,
consisting in a rod a fixed in the knob g of the manger, permitting the changing
of the chain c by unscrewing the bolts of the support k, substantially as described
and shown.
3. The employment of safety key with slide attachments for securing horses,
cattle or other animals, which key by means of a ring bolt m retains the ring d of
chain c in its highest position for the purpose of preventing the horse or other
animal lying down, substantially as described and shown.
