FRANK R. FISHER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
CRATE- FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 373,730, dated November 22, 1887.
Application filed August 25. 1887.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANK R. Fisrrna, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in GrateFasteners, of which the following isafull, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which- Figure I is a perspective view of a crate, showing my improved fastener. Fig. II is an enlarged detail section showing the manner of attaching the springs to the crate. Fig. III is an enlarged detail section taken on line III III, Fig. II. Fig. IV is an enlarged detail section through the top cross-bar in the center of the crate, taken on line IV IV, Fig. I.
Myinvention relates to a fastening for poultry or other crates; and my invention consists in features of novelty, hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the body of the crate, and 2 a movable slat. The slat has openings 3 4 near its respective ends. The top cross-bars of the crate have portions cut away at 5, through which the slat 2 may slide.
6 is a metal strap placed over the reduced portion 5 in the center cross-bar, underneath which the slat 2 may slide,and which prevents the slat from moving upward.
'7 are metal springs attached to two of the top slats, 12 and 12%, of the crate by means of bolts 8. The slat 12 has circular portions cut on its under side at 9, which permit the springs 7 to bend upward.
- 10 represents portions of the springs 7,which are bent at right angles to the body of the springs, and which fit in the openings 3 4 in Serial No. 247,859. (No model.)
the movable slat 2 and prevent the slat from sliding either way while they remain in the openings. The opening 4 is made somewhat longer than the opening 3, so that when the spring is raised out of the opening 3 the slat will be permitted to slide far enough to permit the spring at that end to rest on top of the slat before having to lift the other spring up, as it would not be convenient for one person to raise both springs and remove the slat at the same time.
11 represents reenforcing strips, which are secured to the top cross-bars beneath the re duced portions.
Straps similar to that at 6 may be-secured to the top end cleats over, the slide, as shown by dotted lines, Fig. I.
I claim as my invention- 1. The combination of the body of a crate provided with mortises, a movable slat having openings and adapted to he slid into said mortises, and springs having hook portions to engage in the openings, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of the body of a crate, spring-hooks at each end of said crate, and a movable slat having an opening at each end of different lengths, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination of the body of the crate 1, aslat having openings 3 4, springs 7, and slat 12, having circular portions 9, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
FRANK R. FISHER.
In presence of JAS. E. KNIGHT, EDW. S. KNIGHT.
