Louden Go-Right Cow Stall Fig. 999 



(Patented May 30, 1916) 



This is an attachment to use with our Single-Post Stalls to close the space between the stall post and 

 the stanchion when open and thus prevent the cow from putting her head in the wrong place. While 

 not needed with our Double-Post and Triple-Post Stalls it is used with Single-Post Stalls when made wide 

 enough to accommodate medium or large size cows. The Louden Go-Right is decidedly the best arrange- 

 ment of the kind in the market, and we recommend it for the following reasons: 



1st. As will be seen by Figs. 999 and 1000, which show the Go-Right in both open and closed position, 

 it is extremely simple in construction and easy to keep clean. There are no sharp corners anywhere to 

 injure the cow. Neither are there any cracks, crevices or pockets to catch and hold dirt or afford breeding 

 places for disease germs. 



2d. The swinging guard which prevents the cow from putting her head between the stanchion and 

 the stall post does not have to be set in or on the curb where it would be liable to bind on the hay in the 

 manger, or strike the cow's knees or pinch her feet, or — worst of all — form a "dirt catcher." The lower 

 ends of the guards which are made of I ,V O. D. steel tubing, are rounded, and are hinged to the stall posts 

 a sufficient distance above the curb to avoid any interference. 



3d. The operating mechanism is both simple and effective. It consists of a shift rod made of \^g 

 O. D. steel tubing extending over a row of stalls and connected by swivel malleable castings to the upper 

 ends of the guards as shown in the cuts. At one end a shift lever which is connected to the shift rod, is 

 pivoted to the top-rail of the row of stalls. By moving the lever in one direction the Go-Right Guards 

 are swung into line with the stall posts, thus closing the space between the stall posts and the stanchions, 

 and by moving the lever in the opposite direction the guards are swung out in line with the stall parti- 

 tions, as shown in the cuts. At the same time and without additional mechanism, the guards are auto- 

 matically locked in either position. When closed the guards cannot be opened and when opened they 

 cannot be closed without moving the shift lever — a most valuable feature not found in other devices of 

 this kind. 



The illustrations show our Wood-Lined Stanchions, Triple Bend Stall Partitions, High Built-Up 

 Manger Curbs, and Spring Balanced Mangers which are described on other pages. To make the stalls com- 

 plete, the stanchions should be fitted with our Stanchion Side Chains (see Figure 1 149, Page 85), to pre- 

 vent them from opening too wide.
