APPLICATION FILED FEB. 24, 1920.
' Patented July 25, 1922.
\/\/ EEEEE canvas sr onenesa. nAYn i, or nusirnnnn, rnn vors.
Application filed'February 24, 192i) T 0 all whom it may coaccmt:
Be it known that I, Gnonon G. Barns, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Bushnell, in the county of McDonough and State of Illinois, have in-.
vented certain new and useful Improvements in a Trough; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being hadv It is also an object of this invention to provide a trough body having inwardly flared ends and of such construction that it may be stamped from a single piece of sheet metal without unduly tensioning said metal.
It is another object of this invention to provide a trough adapted for holding liquid food for animals, said trough being so constructed that the interior thereof is readily accessible for cleaning.
It is a further object of this invention to rovide a comparatively light weight trough liaving ends so designed that it cannot readily be tipped endwise or rocked longitudinally.
It is an important object of this invention to provide a trough having abody portion constructed of a single piece of comparatively thin sheet metal and having end portions so constructed as to give relatively great transverse strength to the trough.
Other and further important objects of this invention will be apparent from the dis closures in the drawings and specification.
The invent-ion (in a preferred form) is illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter more fully described.
On the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a trough embodying the principles of this invention.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal central section taken through a trough embodying the principles of this invention.
Figure 3 is a slightly enlarged section on line 3-3 of Figure 2,
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July li ces.
er a n 3.6.(L554- Figure 4 is a. slightly enlarged sect-ion on line 4+4: of Figure 2.
Figure 5), is a slightly enlarged fragmentary detail showing a side elevation of one end of the trough of this invention.
As shown on the drawings:
The body of the trough of this invention comprises the hollow longitudinal portion 1, which is preferably stamped from sheet metal and which has a substantially arcuate cross-section. The inwardly convex ends 2 are integrally formed from the longitudinal portion 1 by forcing the material at the ends thereof upwardly and inwardly until said ends are substantially perpendicular to the port-ion 1. The radius of the inwardly convex ends 2 is made substantially equal to the radius of the arcuate cross section of the longitudinal portion 1, thus avoiding the danger of unduly tensioning the sheet metal from which the trough body is stamped.
The longitudinal horizontal flanges 3. which are integrally formed on each side of the portion 1 by bending the material thereof downwardly and inwardly, add strength to the longitudinal section of the trough and eliminate exposed sharp metal edges which are undesirable in an animal trough.
The end supports for the trough of this invention are each formed from a single piece of sheet metal and comprise the vertical portions 4; the horizontal portions 5 which conform to the contour of the tops of the ends 2 engaging the tops of the flanges 3, and which are provided with downwardly extending flanges 6 which engage the inner sides of the top portions of said ends 2; the side braces 7 which engage the under sides of the flanges 3 beneath the top portions 5; and the 'outwardly extending horizontal portions 8 which are provided with apertures 9 whereby the trough may be attached to a floor or other surface 10 by the nails or screws 11, as shown in Figure 5. The end supports are preferably secured to the body of the trough by the rivets 12 engaged through the flanges 8, although if desired the rivets may be dispensed with and the portions welded together.
To keep the animals which are feeding from the trough from wallowing therein and to add strength, one or more transverse members 13 are provided. The members 13 may be welded to the flanges 3 or secured thereto by the rivets 14.
Since the trough of this invention comprises only three pieces of plain stamped. sheet metal, it is very economical to construct and assemble. The end portions are stamped in one machine and the body of the trough is formed in another. The parts are then placed in proper relation, the horizontal portions 5 are bent downwardly to engage the ends 2 with the flanges 6 fitting snugly over said ends. The body and end portions are then secured in fixed relation by the rivets 12 or by welding. Apertures 5 in the horizontal portions 5 provide for draining and cleaning out the end portions.
I am aware that numerous details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.
I claim as my invention:
The combination of a feeding trough comprising an arcu-ate body of sheet metal and end closures integral therewith, a support therefor comprising an upright sheet metal piece at each end of the trough, triangular flanges on said upright sheets one at each end of each sheet, said flanges extending parallel to the length of the trough and having their upper edges bent to form fas tening flanges extending toward the trough ease the edges of said triangular flanges away from said upright pieces each extending obliquely upward and toward the other end of the trough, a foot flange on the lower end of each 01: said upright pieces extending away from the trough, a covering flange extending from the upper edge of each of said upright pieces toward the middle of the trough and covering the end closures said covering flanges extending laterally as far as the planes of the triangular flanges, the lateral edges of the body of the trough having outwardly extending flanges given a thickness twice that of the body of the trough by being doubled upon themselves, said outwardly extending flanges entering between the cover flanges and thefastening flanges, fastening devices through the cover flanges. fastening flanges and outwardly extending flanges at each corner of the trough, and other fastening devices through the foot flanges at each end of the trough.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses:
GEORGE G. BAYNE.
