l SPEGIFIGATION forming part of LettersvPatent N o. 791,219, dated May 30, 1905'. I Application iiledI'ebruary 15, 1905. Serial No. 245,754. l
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM S.- SCHWARTZ,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Perrydale, in the county of Polk and State of Gregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hog-Traps; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hog-traps; and the object of the invention is to produce a simple and eiiicient apparatus of this nature in which a hog may be driven and securely held while being ringed or held upon its side; and the invention consists, further, in various details of construction and in combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with theletters ofv reference marked thereon, form a part of this appllcation, and In which drawings similar letters of reference indicate like parts in the views, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved hogtrap, showing one end open, whereby access may be had to the head of the animal. Fig. 2 is a f ront elevation looking into the trap with the frontgate swung open, a portion of -the apparatus being shown in section. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the rear of the trap. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the apparatus, showing the same let down for the purpose of holding an animal upon its side. ing one of the fastening devices at the end of the apparatus, and Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail perspective view showing the manner of holding one end of the swinging lever.
y Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a boxing or crating having a flooring A and one fixed side A2. The rear of the frame has a tilting gate B, with a lever B projecting above the Fig. 5 is av perspective view show-c pivotal point B2, forming a handle whereby said gate may be tilted upon said pivot. The
lower end of said gate is adapted to swing into a recess intermediate the cross-pieces B2, (shown clearly in Figs. l and 4 of the drawings,) `whereby the gate may be securely held closed against a pressure coming against the same lengthwise of the apparatus.
C designates a hinged top having a ring C fitted to a cross-piece C2, fastened to the swinging end of said top, said ring being adapted to fit over the handle B', as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, vwhen it is desired to `hold the gate'in the position shown in said ligure. The ends of the cross-piece C2 project beyond the longitudinal strips of the door sind are adapted to support the free end of said oor.
The side D of the apparatus is mounted upon hinges D', and to the upper longitudinal strips of said side D are hinged the folding supporting-legs D2, which are utilized to support said folding side in a horizontal position, as shown in Fig. 4, when said side is lowered in the position shown for the purpose of holding an animal upon its side. When the folding side is raised to an upright position, as
shown in Figs. l to 3, inclusive, said legs D2 fold between the longitudinal strips of the side, as will be' readily understood. Secured to said folding side is a stanchion E, to the lower portion of which are fastened the hooks E', (shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings,) which are adapted to be engaged by an eyebar E2, which is fastened to the swinging lever F. It will be observed that said lever F has a concaved portion F upon one edge thereof corresponding to the concaved portion F2, formed upon the inner edge of one side of said stanchion. Fixed to the upper edge of the stanchion is a rack-bar F3, which is designed to be engaged by a pawl G, pivotally mounted at Gr' upon. said lever F. A spring G2 is fastened at one end to the handle end of said lever and also'to said pawl in the manner shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, whereby one end of the pawl will be normally held in engagement with the teeth of said rackbar.
H designates a door which is hinged at an TOO inclination to theforward end of the trap, and straps H', having hooks H2, are carried by the swinging side, whereby the front gate or door may be held closed.
The lever F, it will be observed, is guided in its swinging movements in a space intermediate the cross-pieces K and K', forming the top of said stanehion.
Referring to Fig. 4 of the drawings, it will be seen that the swinging side has a bail N fastened to the cross-pieces forming said side, and N designates a hook fastened to a strap O, the other end of said strap adapted to be fastened to a fixed bail Q, also secured to the swinging side, the purpose of said strap being to securely grasp and hold the animal to the side as it swings down with the stanchion.
The operation of my apparatus is simple and is as follows: When it is desired to secure an animal within the trap, the swinging gate at the rear thereof is swung open to allow the animal to enter head foremost. As the head of the animal passes within the stanchion, the lever F is swunglaterally, so that the conoaved portions F and F2 will securely hold the aninial in place,after which the gate H may be opened and access may be had to the head of the animal. When it is desired to throw the animal into a recumbent position upon its side, the door C may be raised and held open, as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, and the strap O may be adjusted about the animal, securely holding the same to the folding side before the latter is swung down into the position shown in Fig. 4.
While I have shown a particular form of apparatus illustrating my invention, it will be understood that I may vary the details of the same, if desired, without in any Way departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus fully described 1ny invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A hog-trap having a pivotal gate at the rear end thereof, a portion of said gate extended to form a handle, a hinged dool` formling the top of the trap, a ring carried by said top and adapted to engage over said handle portion of the gate, when the top and handle are raised to vertical positions, a stancliion, a lever adjustably held upon said stanchion, and a rack-bar, a pawl carried by said lever and adapted to engage the teeth of said rackbar, as set forth.
Q. A hog-trap having a pivotal gate at the rear end thereof, a stanchion, a lever, series of hooks carried by said stanchion, an eyebar fastened to said lever and adapted to engage said hooks, a rack-bar upon the stancliion, a spring-pressed pawl pivotally connected to said lever and adapted to engage said rackbar, and a pivotal door at the front of the trap, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM S. SCHWARTZ.
