Abstract
A racing pigeon cage or single toss machine having an outer squirrel-cage-like shroud which is driven and rotated relative to a stationary housing having radial partitions to provide individual stalls for the pigeons. One or more of the staves or posts forming the shroud of the cage are omitted at one location so that as such location passes individual stalls, the pigeon or pigeons can exit in succession and fly to their destination, or if the shroud is made of other material such as sheet metal for example, an opening is left in the sheet metal so the birds can exit as the opening passes. The speed of rotation of the shroud may be varied to adjust the time interval of the opening of successive stalls. An electric motor or a spring motor may be used to drive the shroud with a timer to vary the period for successive opening of the stalls.
Claims7
A training crate for racing pigeons and the like comprising a stationary round base platform having radially extending partitions supported thereon to provide individual stalls for said pigeons, a motor mounted on said base platform and a foraminous cylinder surrounding the outer periphery of said platform and being driven by said motor, said cylinder having an opening large enough to allow exiting of a pigeon when driven past said stalls, in succession, to allow successive pigeons to exit in timed succession.
