Improvements in Apparatus for Artificially Hatching and Rearing
Poultry.
1, WILLIAM COLBORNE BUTLIN of Leonard Stanley Stonehouse Gloucestershire,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the ordinary wooden box containing cistern of water the
latter being beated by means of a lamp fixed outside the said box the heat being
conducted by means of suitable pipes from the said lamp to the cistern. My improve-
ments consist of a metal top cone or dome shaped which I fix over the top of the
cistern. I make a neck to the cistern which is brought through the said metal top
and I provide a suitable cover for the said neck which is easily removed for filling
the cistern. Between the cistern and the metal cover aforesaid 1 arrange wool or
other suitable packing which retains the heat within the box. I also arrange a cover
or shade to protect the lamp aforesaid from wind and rain. This has a loose top and
the shade has a suitable slot in one side so as to pass over the pipes connecting the
lamp with the cistern within the box forming the rearer. The said shade may be of
a circular or other shape and is made to reach several inches higher than the lamp.
