1, HENRY CRISP, of 27 Clare Street, Bristol, in the County of Gloucester,
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:-
The object of this invention is to construct a dog kennel which shall be more
comfortable and healthy than those at present in use.
Now according to this invention I divide the kennel into two compartments the
inner one or sleeping place being preferably the larger. I also prefer to hinge one
side of the kennel to the bottom thereof so as to allow it to fall down for cleaning
and other purposes the roof also may be hinged to allow of the same being opened
or raised for ventilation and other purposes.
And in order that my said invention may be fully understood I will explain the
same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which :-
Figure 1 represents side elevation of a dog kennel constructed according to this
invention.
Figure 2 end elevation of same.
Figure 3, sectional plan of same.
Figure 4 cross section of same.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the figures.
A is the doorway giving access to the outer chamber B. C inner chamber
D partition or screen between inner and outer chambers to keep off draught E E
sliding grid ventilators which may be opened or closed at will F glazed window
G external platform which may be attached to or removed from the kennel this
platform may be either made of strips of wood with a space between each strip or
solid as shewn and provided with grooves or gutters to allow the water to drain
off. His a board sliding in grooves at hh to retain the straw bed in the inner
compartment.
The sides of the roof are hinged at M so that the side J can be turned back on
to the side L the capping or ridge piece N being made movable for this purpose.
Also the side K is hinged to the bottom at P so that when it is desired to
change the bed or clean or disinfect the kennel the side of the roof may be turned
back on to the side after removing the capping N and the side of the kennel K
let down ontwards giving access to the whole of the interior.
For convenience in packing I prefer to join those parts of the kennel which are
not connected by hinges by means of thumbscrews which may be easily removed
the hinged parts are then folded together and the whole formed into a flat and
compact package for travelling or shipment.
If desired the two sides of the roof may be hinged together in such a manner
that either or both of them may be raised a few inches for ventilation.
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 dog kennel the combination of an under frame or bottom having one side
hinged thereto with a removable side removable ends and a removable hinged roof
all substantially as hereinbefore described and for purpose stated.
2. In a dog kennel the combination of an under frame having one side hinged
thereto and removable side ends roof and capping with a screen or partition dividing
