Figure 6is an enlarged detail of one of the spacer boIt'uriitsin iny device.
Figure 7 is an enlarged detail showing the bayonet-sl'ot used in the lower end of eazchanitrial-retaining slat.
With reference to the drawings, I have illustrated my invention as comprising mainly. an upper set oif: horizontal rails ill; a lower set of morizontal ra-ils ll, and the :asseciatedawertical snimal retaining slats i2 and fl.
The lower set of rails ll comprises the two rails I4 which'arepennanentlyjoined together at them ends and arez'spa'eed from each other byiithee spacers I 6 -.to1provideothe slatreciiiin slot l1, and the cooperating clamping rail 15. The slot l1 receives the lower ends of the slats l2 and 13, the slat l2 being pivoted therein by the bolt l8 and the slat l3 being pivoted therein by the bolt IS, the two bolts l8 and I9 passing 32 v through openings'in -the rails 14- 'andxbeing permanently securedtherein.
Associated with the bolt? l8; as shown Figure 6; is 'afspacer. sleeve"l8a.""The'"bolt19 isa'iso provided with one of thesetspacers Isa. "fiThese spacers "I 8a and *l9af (Figure 2) keep. the two rails "14' properly spaced to provide'the slot1 1.. The unit formed by the'ra'ils I4 (Figure zriis adapted tobe disposed at onesideiofithe jambs J of the opening'and theirail lfiis adapted "to be disposed at the other side'of the jambs. "These meinbers are connected in jainb clamping relationship 'by'the clamping bolt units :20.""Each 'of thes units comprises a. bolt which passes throughiali'gning longitudinal; slots 2:! in the rails 14 and a's1ot'i22 in the 'raill5. I To adjust for different thicknesses of .jam'bs the 1 one end "of the bolt is provided with a series of longitudinally spaced transverse 'bores23 for. receiving a locking pin 24, which will retain on the bolt a washer?! adapt'edtto engage the outer rail I l. The other end'lof'th'e bolt, which is adjacentthe; r'ail '15, is provided with a wing nut 26 and an associated washer 21 whichengages the'rail l5. Obvious- 13;" thebolt unit can be adjusted 'byiresetting ZA'TOr-jamb's of di'iierenti thicknesses. Further!- more, it can-Abe adjusted in slots '21 and22 along the r'a'ils"l4 and I5 in accordance withithe width of the, opening.
iThe upper set" of .rails'. (Figure4) is similar 'to the lower set! I, and includes the two joined rails 14a which are spaced by spacers 16a, ,the associated clamping rail a, and 'theadjustable clamping bolt units 20a with the. wing nuts"a and ool'l'ars'2il-a."The upper ends. of the'slats I2 and T3 'projectupwardly through the slotl'lfla. 'Ifhe slatilz is provided withlani outwardly turned bayonet slot 18b at itslower end and theis'la't P3 is providedwith anloutwardlyturned-bayonet slot'il'Bb at its lower end which engage wijthi'the sleeves'ilfla andi'Qa, respeo'tiilely,- of the b'oltSTlB and" Iain 'p'ii'loting the slats'to the lowerra'ilunit Il.
""To automatically swing the upper e'nds'of the slats-i2 and'l31outwardly, tension springs 28 and 28 ('Figure1) areanch'ored at their lowene'nds to the outer ends-of"the.spaoedlra'ilsliand at their: upper ends #to the outer edges ofithe respective slats [2 ahd13, being anchored in channels 30 and'Bl in theedges of the respective slats. The bolt units -lflawserve as stops to limit butward swinging movementsof the .slats :H and 113. Inward swinging movement of the slat I3 is limited by a transverse bolt 36 mounted in rails Mu but no means is provided for limiting inward swinging movement of slat I2. Bolt 36 carries a spacer sleeve 36a (Figure 4) to maintain the spacing of rails Ma. If desired, for example when the stanchion is being used on small animals, a removable eye pin 35 may be inserted in transverse openings in rails I la to hold the slat I3 vertical, engaging its outer edge to prevent outward swinging of this slat by the spring 29.
The slats I2 and I3 may be swung into operative relationship to retain the head of an animal by means of a rope 32 which is anchored to the upper end of the slat I3 and which slides through an opening in the upper end of. the slat I2. openings 31 and 38 in the lower portions of the respective slats l2 and I3 for use in lifting the lower ends of the slats from the slot I! of the lower rail unit II when desired.
With the stanchion mounted on the door opening as indicated, the upper ends of the two slats I2 and I3 will normally be spread apart by the action of the springs 28 and 29 or the spring 28 alone. Both slats will contact the bolts 20a, or slat I2, as shown in Figure 1, will contact bolt 20a. and slat I3 will contact pin 35. Obviously pin 35 will be removed if it is desired to spread the upper ends of slats I2 and I3 to maximum width. An animal can insert its head through the space between the slats I2 and I3 and then the slats can be pulled towards each other by means of the rop 32 to prevent withdrawal of the head. This rope may be sufficiently long so that the stanchion can be operated from a remote location. The rope 32 may be reversed. Anchoring cleats 40 are provided at each end of the rail unit In for anchoring the end of the rope to hold the slats together. As soon as the rope is released, the slats will automatically spread and permit withdrawal of the animals head. As pointed out above, pin 35 may be removed to permit maximum spreading of slats I2 'and I3. The spacing of the lower ends of the slats may be increased by lifting the bayonet slots I81) and I9b from the bolts I8 and I9 and permitting th springs 28 and 29 to pull their lower ends outwardly into contact with the bolt units 20, as shown by the dotted lines in Figure 5. This allows a spacing practically the full width of the door opening for large cattle to pass through. Springs 28 and 29 will hold the slats in fully opened position after the animal passes through. To narrow this spacing one or more of the slats may be positioned inside the bolts I8 and I9 as also shown in this figure by dotted lines. This is desirable for small animals.
The provision of the bayonet slots is important as it prevents the animal from raising the slats I2 and I3 out of the rail unit Il since the outwardly directed ends l! (Figure 7) of the slots will be in engagement with the spacer sleeves I82) and I913. The spreading effect on the lower ends of the slats I2 and I3 by the animal will cause the engagement of ends 4! with the sleeves. When the animal is removed, the lower ends of the slats I2 and I3 may be pulled inwardly to position the vertical parts 42 of the bayonet slots in alignment with the spacer sleeves l8a and I9a. At this time, the slats I2 and !3 may be lifted from rail unit H by the ropes 33 and 34. Instead of ropes 33 and 34, the pin 35 may be used with openings 3'1 and 38 (Figure 5) to lift the slats l2 and I3 out of the slot 11.
Other ropes 33 and 34 may be anchored in' The stanchion can be removed from the open ing easily by removing the bolt units 20 and 20a. It can be knocked-down by lifting the slats I2 and I3 from the rail unit I I and pulling them out of rail unit I0. It is merely necessary to remove wing nuts 26 and 26a and no tools will be required. My device can then be transported easily in knocked-down condition and obviously can be set-up readily in a different opening. The stanchion can be adjusted readily to fit openings of different widths and jambs of different thicknesses.
Various other advantages will be apparent.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
r .1. A stanchion comprising upper and lower rail units including rails adapted to be clamped at opposite sides of vertical supports, connecting members in the form of clamping bolt units for holding said rails in clamping relationship, said lower rail unit including a pair of rails disposed atone side of the vertical supports and a single rail at the opposite side of the supports, relatively adjustable slats pivoted in a space between said pair of rails by means of bayonet slots in the slats and pins carried by said rails, said upper rail unit also including a pair of rails disposed at one side of the vertical supports and a single rail unit at the opposite side of the supports and being connected by bolt units, said slats extending upwardly between the pair of rails of the upper rail unit and being free to swing in the space provided therebetween, springs connected to the slats and anchored to the lower rail unit for normally swinging said slats apart, said bolt units of the upper rail unit serving to limit outward swinging movement of said slats, a rope anchored to the free end of one of said slats and slidably connected to the free end of the other to pull said slats towards each other, a stop pin carried by the upper rail unit for'limiting inward swinging movement of one of said slats, and a removable pin carried by said upper rail for limiting outward swinging of said slat.
2. A stanchion according to claim 1 wherein each of the bolt units is adjustable as to length to clamp the rails to vertical supports of varying thicknesses.
3. A stanchion according to claim 2 wherein each of the bolt units passes through longitudinal slots in the rails of the rail units.
4. A stanchion according to claim 3 wherein said removable pinis spaced from said stop pin to limit outward swinging movement of the associated slat.
