Abstract
946,507. Battery cages. JOHN SHEPHERD & SONS Ltd., and W. SHEPHERD. Nov. 26, 1962 [Dec. 2, 1961], No. 43170/61. Heading A1M. In a structure for housing livestock, particularly poultry, rows of cages 11-13 are supported on a framework 10 in stepped formation so that droppings from the cages fall on to an area within the confines of the framework at or near ground level, the cages of one row partially overlapping those of the next lower row and deflector screens being provided to prevent droppings falling into a lower cage. The framework comprises uprights 17 at each end of each row, longitudinal members 18, 19 defining upper and lower edges of the cages, and struts 22, 23, the members 18, 19 being secured together by tie rods 20 and the members 19 being shaped to provide deflector screens 19a. The droppings receiving area may be formed by a trench sunk below ground level or panels may be attached to the lower side parts of the framework to form a trough. Droppings may be removed by means of a sheet or band resting on a chain or meshwork base withdrawable from either end of the battery, or by a plough or scraper connected to a cable driven by hand or by an electric motor. The structure may be raised from the ground by a pulley block and tackle, two such structures being suspended from a common pulley so that as one structure is raised the other is lowered. In a modification the rows of cages may be stepped down one side only of the structure. Specifications 801,139 and 871,506 are referred to.
