Daniel M. Sullivan and Thomas A. Retallic, Montgomery City, Mo.--This
invention consists of a coop adjustable vertically on a standard,
and provided with removable partitions and doors for convenience in
cleansing. The frame of the coop is placed on a standard, at the top
of which is placed a pulley. A cord is attached to the top of the coop
frame, and runs over the pulley, and is attached to a counterweight.
The coop is divided by a central transverse partition into two
compartments, which are subdivided by transverse partitions composed
of slats, and held in place by a dowel pin at the bottom and by a pin
at the top. The vertical strips that hold the slats of the partitions
together are grooved on each side to receive sliding partitions which
are arranged on a central longitudinal line of the coop, and at
right angles to the partitions. Grooves are also made in the ends and
central partition of the coop to receive these sliding partitions.
