    Dauncey s Improvements in Apparatus for 'Feeding Infant^ ffc. Fi^ 4 is a side view of an apparatus adapted to the feeding of animals, such as lambs and calves, in which an elastic chamber g is suspended elastically in a framework h, the teats i, i, being inserted in the elastic hemispheres secured to or formed on the sides thereof, and communicating with the liquid contained in the vessel h by means of the tubes l, l, l, which may be. made in short 5 lengths jointed together as above described; Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same; and Fig. 6 is a side view of a modification wherein the elastic chamber is secured upon the vessel without the use of an extra framing. Fig. 7 is an end view of an apparatus particularly adapted to the feeding of pigs, wherein the same principles are embodied in another and more suitable 10 form. Having now described the nature of the said Invention, together with the manner of carrying the same into practical effect, I would remark in conclusion that I claim,— First, the use of a jointed external tube instead of a continuous length, as 15 the sections are more readily cleaned. Secondly, the method of effecting the junction of such sections or pieces by means of the conical or double conical union joints. And, thirdly, the use of an elastic internal tube, having a weight at its lowest extremity. ^ ] And last, I claim the novel construction and general arrangement of appa¬ ratus for feeding lambs, calves, and the young of cattle, as herein-before described, set forth, and fully illustrated in the Drawings attached. In witness whereof, I, the said John Albert Dauncey, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Eleventh day of December, in the year of 21 our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-one.
