Patent number: 4366773Abstract: A freestanding one-piece shelter for young animals is provided with a ventilation and feeding system. The ventilation system includes an opening in an exterior wall of the shelter for circulation and a vent at the top of the shelter. The vent comprises a raised portion on the roof of the shelter covered by a cap. The raised portion has ventilation openings. The underside of the cap is fitted with lugs to rest on the raised portion to hold the cap in its raised position. The lugs fit in the ventilation openings when the cap is rotated to its lowered position. The opening in the side of the shelter is also used for access to the feeding station. The feeding station includes a flange which engages the lower edge of the opening. The feeding station has at least one generally circular fitting with a tapered lip which receives a tapered feeding bucket. The tapered feeding bucket has a raised splash guard.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1981Date of Patent: January 4, 1983Inventor: Richard G. Johanneck
