Louden Quick Adjustable Stanchion 



We offer our Quick Adjustable Stanchion to 



meet the demand which has, no doubt, been created 

 .largely by the advertising of adjustable stanchions. 

 We have thought that with the different sizes of stan- 

 chions we make, and with the fact that a stanchion 

 should always fit loosely on the cows' necks, there 

 was no need for an adjustable stanchion. 



The demand, however, exists and we herewith 

 present the very best adjustable stanchion manufac- 

 tured. 1 1 is made of high carbon tubular steel (the best 

 material of which a stanchion can be made) and is 

 provided with adjustable heads and bottoms of malle- 

 able iron which can be instantly adjusted from the 

 narrowest to the widest size. They are each provided 

 with large double ended right and left handed screws 

 fitted in threaded blocks, B (see Fig. 1160). and by 

 turning this screw with a key the sides of the stanchion 

 will be instantly adjusted in or adjusted out. 



There are no bolts or set screws to tighten or loosen 

 and be liable to slip and spoil the adjustment. The 

 change from the widest to the narrowest or to any 

 intermediate size can be made by an expert in half a 

 minute and by any one in less than a minute. When 

 the stanchion is adjusted to a certain width it will 

 stay there until the screw is turned by the key. 



The adjusting mechanism cannot be equalled. As 

 will be seen by Fig. 1 160, which is an interior view of 

 the head (the malleable plates on the front side being 

 removed), the stanchion sides, A, are fitted with corner 

 plates, C and D, to which the ends of the threaded 

 blocks, B, are attached. The head plates, E (the plate 

 on the near side being removed), which cover the 

 adjusting mechanism are fitted with slots through 

 which the threaded blocks, B, are passed to connect 

 with the corner plates, C and D. 

 By applying the key, shown in Fig. 1 160. to the square end of the screw, it can be easily and quickly 

 turned in either direction, and will move the blocks. B, in or out in the slots of the heads, E, and carrymg 

 the corner plates, C and D. with them will adjust the sides. A. wider apart or closer together as desired. 

 The lower end is the same except that the block on the opening side of the stanchion is pivoted to the corner 

 plates, as shown by Fig. 1 1 59. This is certainly the most perfect adjustable stanchion ever invented.
