I, WILLIAM CHARLES MANNING of Cynthia House, Newmarket, in the County of
Suffolk, Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has reference to a construction of mangers with compartments for
water, all capable of being readily cleaned out and designed to obviate accumulations
of food and dirt such as are liable to occur in the corners of mangers as ordinarily.
made.
A manger according to my invention has, in cross section, the form of an arc of a
circle or approximately so and usually is made with two or more compartments or
chambers, one for water, the other or others for fodder, the internal formation as seen
in longitudinal vertical section, being with curved or rounded portions uniting the
end walls and division or divisions with the bottom. As seen in plan or horizontal
section the compartments have curved or rounded corners, there being, in fact, no
sharp angles, in which dirt or decaying or decayed food can accumulate. A hole
with plug is provided to enable the contents of the water compartment to be
withdrawn. There is a similar hole in the bottom of each fodder compartment.
Such a manger is made usually all in one piece, of earthenware with interior glazed,
a light green colour being adopted as being preferable because it will not injuriously
affect the sight of horses.
A manger with more than one compartment according to my invention can
however be constructed in two or more parts, so long as the peculiar internal formation
be adopted.
A chin-tree is made in one with or separate from the manger proper which can also
be provided with a knee board as well understood. The chin-tree is made to project
inward slightly beyond the inner surface of the wall of the manger to form a lip
that will prevent a horse from throwing food out of the .manger.

page_text: I, WILLIAM CHARLES MANNING, of Cynthia House, Newmarket, in the County of
Suffolk, Architect, 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 has reference to a construction of mangers capable of being readily
cleaned out, and designed to obviate accumulations of food and dirt such as are liable
to occur in the corners of mangers as ordinarily made.
A manger according to my invention has in cross section the form of an arc of a
circle or approximately so and usually is made with two or more compartments or
chambers, one for water, the other or others for fodder, the internal formation as seen
in longitudinal vertical section, being with curved or rounded portions uniting the
end walls and division or divisions with the bottom. As seen in plan or horizontal
section the compartments have curved or rounded corners, there being, in fact, no
sharp angles, in which dirt or decaying or decayed food can lodge. A hole with plug
is provided to enable the contents of the water compartment to be withdrawn. There
is a similar hole in the bottom of the fodder compartment or of each if more than
one.
Such a manger is made usually all in one piece of earthenware with interior glazed,
a light green colour being adopted as being preferable because it will not injuriously
affect the eye-sight of horses.
A manger with more than one compartment according to my invention can
however be constructed in two or more parts so long as the peculiar internal formation
be adopted.
The chin-tree is moulded in one piece with and of the same material as the manger
in order to prevent crib biting and lodgment of food and dirt. A knee board is
provided as well understood the chin tree being grooved to receive it. The chin-tree
is made to project inward slightly beyond the inner surface of the wall of the manger
to form a lip that will prevent a horse from throwing food out of the manger.
In the accompanying illustrative drawings there is shewn a manger constructed
according to my invention, with two elongated compartments or chambers, one for
water the other for fodder.
Fig. 1 is a general perspective view.
Fig. 2 is a cross section.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section, and
Fig. 4 is a plan.
A is the compartment or chamber for water and B that for fodder. The junctions
of the sides, ends and bottom of each of these compartments or chambers are all
curved or rounded as shown so that as before mentioned there are no sharp angles
for the accumulation of dirt, or decaying or decayed food. C is a rack for hay.

receive the discharge. E is the chin-tree, and F the knee board. Doors G G are
formed in the latter to give access below the manger.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a manger an elongated compartment or chamber such as A or B having the
junctions between its sides ends and bottom all curved or rounded, in combination with
a waste pipe for the discharge or removal of its contents and a chin-tree to prevent the
food being thrown out all substantially as described.
2. The improved construction of manger for food and water, substantially as
described and illustrated.
