I, RICHARD FIGES PRANGLEY, 381, Cold Harbour Lane, London, S.E.
Accountant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The objects of this invention are:-
1. To so construct mangers that a horse cannot get his feet into them and 60
become injured as frequently happens from mangers as at present constructed.
2. To facilitate the cleaning out.
According to the first part I make the front, bottom and ends hinged, so that the
manger when not in use may fold up, or down, close against the wall or into a
recess in the wall. The manger is secured in position for use by bolts or other
When liquid food is required to be put in the manger I use a loose
watertight trough in it.

I, RICHARD FIGES PRANGLEY, of 381 Coldharbour Lane, London S.E.,.
Accountant, 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 :-
The objects of this invention are:-
To so construct mangers that when not in use they can be folded up or down
close against the wall, or into a recess in the wall, and so prevent a horse getting
his feet into them and becoming injured as now frequently happens during the
night, with mangers as at present constructed.
To enable this invention to be properly understood I will proceed to describe the
same with aid of the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 shews manger partly folded.

front and bottom are hinged as shewn to enable the manger to be folded up against
the wall as shown at Fig. 3. F, spring clips to secure the manger in position when
open G, spring holding clip to secure the manger when folded up.
A convenient way to attach this manger to the wall is by means of plates H,
shewn detached at Fig. 4. The plates are secured to the wall by screws through
holes J, and the back of the manger fitted with studs to pass through the slotted
eyes K.
Referring to Figs. 5, 6, and 7: These views illustrate an arrangement of manger
practically the same as the preceding figures, the only difference being the edges of
the ends are fitted with a bearing L, to better secure the front.
Referring to Figs. 8, 9, and 10: In this arrangement the manger is made of
hinged parts to fold laterally against the wall, the bottom M, being first folded up
against the back.
Referring to Figs. 11 and 12: In the arrangement shewn in these figures, the
manger when open can hang down as shewn at Fig. 12, the ends being folded in, or
folded outwardly against the wall.
When it is desired to give liquid food, a liquid tight case would be fitted in the
mangers. An important advantage of mangers constructed as described is the
facility for perfect cleansing and disinfecting.
In Figure 13, the hinged parts N, are made as a frame, and fitted with bars O.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The construction of folding up mangers, substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
