Louden Spring Balance Galvanized Manger — Fig. 990 



Patent Pending. 



Specifications 



Standard Size is 24 inches high from the manger bottom 

 and extends out 36 inches from the center of the stall posts. 

 The standard width is 42 inches but it will be made wider or 

 narrower as specified, to suit the width of the stalls with 

 which it is used. No 18 gauge galvanized sheet steel is used, 

 reinforced entirely around the edge with heavy iron. 



The Brace Rod is made of 1 yg O. D, steel tubing and is 

 attached to the manger divisions by malleable iron clamps 

 which are bolted to the reinforcing strips so as to hold them 

 rigidly in place. 



The Hinges are malleable castings. No. 741 being the 

 pattern number of the end hinge, and No. 797 R. & L. the 

 pattern numbers of the center hinges. With stalls having 

 central posts the hinges are connected to them by pivot

clamps — single pivots being used on the end posts, and 

 double pivots on the central posts. With our Double Post 

 Fig. 812 Stall, shown in Fig. 990, the central hinges are 

 connected to pivot pins made of 1 ,5 O. D. tubular steel, 

 and connected to the stall posts by a pair of our Grip Clamps. 

 If the springs have to be set vertically (which is seldom 

 done) hinge castings, pattern Nos. 876 and 877 R. & L. 

 (not illustrated) will be used. 



The Springs. The lower ends of the Springs are con- 

 nected to clevises having their ends fitted to hook in the 

 eyes of the hinges, and the upper ends of the Springs are 

 connected to holders (the same as our Regular Stanchion 

 Holders) which are adjustably clamped on the stall par- 

 titions. Generally 2 Springs are used on a section of 3 

 mangers and 3 Springs on a section of 4 mangers. If heavier 

 springs are used a less number may be required. 



The Finish. The Sheet Steel of which the manger is 

 made is galvanized, and then the entire manger is coated 

 with our Special Dairy Barn Paint. If the fittings are 

 to be galvanized there will be an extra charge.
