Improvements in Dog Kennels.
I HUGH ROBERT NEWBURGH-STEWART, of the Junior Carlton Club Pall Mall
in the County of London Captain in the Royal Navy do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-

"
My invention has for its object to provide a dog kennel which can be extended or
increased in size when desired so as to form in addition to the sleeping accom-
modation an enclosed space or run for the dog or dogs. According to my
invention the kennel is made in two or more parts fitted together so as to slide
telescopically one inside the other. One part forming the sleeping apartment may
be made of wood or other suitable material strengthened if desired by metal bars
whilst the other part which is made to slide telescopically over the sleeping apart-
ment consists of a frame preferably of metal covered with wire netting or other
suitable reticulated material and preferably with a solid floor which forms when
drawn out a continuation of the floor of the sleeping apartment. The end of the
sleeping apartment next to the outer sliding portion of the kennel is open except at
the bottom, where a suitable ledge is provided to prevent the straw from passing
from the sleeping apartment into the run when the kennel is extended. Suitable
doors may be provided at the ends or any other desired part of the kennel for the
admission and exit of the dogs and for convenience of cleaning the interior of the
kennel. The sleeping apartment and also the outer sliding cage may be mounted
on wheels to facilitate the extension and contraction of the kennel and for moving it
from place to place. The outer end of the outer sliding portion may if desired be
made solid so as to form when the kennel is contracted a closed back to the sleeping
apartment.
Although I have stated that the kennel is made in two parts I do not restrict
myself to two parts as three or more parts may be telescopically connected together
as described.

Improvements in Dog Kennels.
I, HUGH ROBERT NEWBURGH-STEWART of the Junior Carlton Club, Pall Mall
in the County of London, Captain in the Royal Navy 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 for its object to provide a dog kennel which can be extended or
increased in size when desired so as to form in addition to the sleeping accom
modation an enclosed space or "run "for the animal or animals. According to my
invention the kennel is made in two or more parts fitted together so as to slide
telescopically one inside the other. One part forming the sleeping apartment may
be made of wood or other suitable material strengthened if desired by metal bars
whilst the other part which is made to slide telescopically over or within the sleeping
apartment may consist of a frame preferably of metal covered with wire netting or

page_text: other suitable reticulated material or provided with bars so as to form a cage and
preferably with a solid floor which forms, when drawn out, a continuation of the
floor of the sleeping apartment. The end of the sleeping apartment next to the
outward sliding portion of the kennel is open except preferably at the bottom where
a suitable ledge is provided to prevent straw or the like from passing from the
sleeping apartment into the " run when the kennel is extended. Suitable doors
may be provided at the ends or any other desired part of the kennel for the admission
and exit of the animal or animals and for convenience of cleaning the interior of
the kennel. The sleeping apartment and also if preferred the sliding part or cage
may be mounted on wheels to facilitate the extension and contraction of the kennel
and for moving it from place to place. The outer end of the sliding portion may if
desired be made solid so as to form when the kennel is contracted a closed back to
the sleeping apartment.
Although I have described the kennel as being made in two parts I do not
restrict myself to two parts, as three or more parts may be telescopically connected
together as described.
And in order that my invention may be clearly understood I will further describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawing premising however that I do
not restrict myself to the particular details of construction described and illustrated.
Fig. 1. represents in longitudinal section a kennel in its extended position con-
structed according to my invention and Fig. 2. is a similar view shewing the
kennel in its closed or contracted position. The kennel may be made of any
suitable size according to the size and number of animals it is intended to accommodate
and may be made in any desired number of parts fitted to slide one within or over
another. The kennel shewn in the drawing is made in two parts A A* the part A
constituting the roost or sleeping apartment and the part A which is capable of
sliding over the part A forming, when drawn out, as shewn in Fig. 1. a run for the
animal or animals. Doors C C for the admission to and exit of the animal or
animals from the kennel may be provided at the ends of the parts A. A² as shewn or
in any other desired part or parts thereof and the several sections of the kennel are
preferably provided with wheels D to facilitate the movement of the parts. E is a
feeding trough fitted to turn on pivots in an opening in the end or door C², to admit
of supplying food without the necessity of opening the door. A projecting piece
is preferably provided at the end of the roost or sleeping apartment A to prevent
straw or the like from passing therefrom into the run or part A². Instead of the
part A being arranged to slide over the part A it may be made to slide inside
thereof in which case the piece a will be fixed to the part A². It is obvious that
the kennel may be used for containing birds poultry or game of any kind, or for
any other purpose for which it is applicable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :
1. A telescopic or extending kennel constructed or arranged substantially as
herein before described.
2. A kennel made in two or more parts fitted together so as to slide telescopically
one within or over the other and provided with wheels to facilitate the movement
of the parts substantially as hereinbefore described.
3. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the telescopic or
extending kennel hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
