Title: Temperature controlled animal house
Claims: I claim: 1. An animal house comprising a housing, means setting off a pair of chambers in said housing, entrance means through which an animal may pass into and out of a first of said chambers, closure means openable to gain access into said chambers, heat generating means located in a second of said chambers for generating heat to heat said first chamber, means for conducting the heat generated by said heat generating means into said first chamber, said heat conducting means including first fan means for blowing the generated heat into said first chamber, second fan means in said second chamber for circulating air in said second chamber, and means for regulating the operation of said second fan means to preclude the internal temperature of said second chamber from rising above a desired maximum temperature to thereby preclude overheating of said second chamber by said generated heat. 2. The animal housing as defined in claim 1 including means in said second chamber for precluding the internal temperature of said second chamber from rising above a desired maximum temperature by deenergizing said heat generating means. 3. The animal housing as defined in claim 2 wherein said heat generating means includes a socket for an electric light bulb, and said heat conducting means includes a fan for blowing the generated heat of an electric light bulb adopted for connection to said socket into said first chamber. 4. The animal house as defined in claim 2 wherein said closure means is a cover common to both of said chambers. 5. The animal house as defined in claim 2 wherein said closure means is a first cover common to both of said chambers, and a second cover for said second chamber internally of said first cover. 6. The animal house as defined in claim 2 including aperture means through said housing of said second chamber, and means for exhausting air from said second chamber to atmosphere. 7. The animal housing as defined in claim 1 wherein said heat generating means includes a socket for an electric light bulb, and said heat conducting means includes a fan for blowing the generated heat of an electric light bulb adopted for connection to said socket into said first chamber. 8. The animal house as defined in claim 7 wherein said closure means is a cover common to both of said chambers. 9. The animal house as defined in claim 7 wherein said closure means is a first cover common to both of said chambers, and a second cover for said second chamber internally of said first cover. 10. The animal house as defined in claim 7 including aperture means through said housing contiguous a bottom of said second chamber. 11. The animal house as defined in claim 1 wherein said closure means is a cover common to both of said chambers. 12. The animal house as defined in claim 1 wherein said closure means is a first cover common to both of said chambers, and a second cover for said second chamber internally of said first cover. 13. The animal house as defined in claim 1 including aperture means through said housing contiguous a bottom of said second chamber. 14. The animal house as defined in claim 1 including aperture means through said housing of said second chamber, and said regulating means includes means for exhausting air from said second chamber to atmosphere. 15. An animal house comprising a housing, means setting off a pair of chambers in said housing, entrance means through which an animal may pass into and out of a first of said chambers, closure means openable to gain access into said chambers, heat generating means located in a second of said chambers for generating heat to heat said first chamber, means for conducting the heat generated by said heat generating means into said first chamber, first and second aperture means through said housing of said second chamber, and conduit means connecting said heat conducting means to said first paerture means whereby air exhausted to atmosphere through said first aperture means is replenished by air drawn into said second chamber through said second aperture means thus precluding stagnation of air in said first chamber. 16. The animal house as defined in claim 15 including a third chamber in said second chamber housing said heat generating means, and said heat conducting means includes conduit means placing said first and third chambers in fluid communication.
