Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT MOBILE MODULAR LIFT RACE II' Australia 1 1 SEP 2003 P S The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me: MOBILE MODULAR LIFT RACE This invention relates to improvements in devices for the handling of sheep.
Current sheep races consist of a single barrier fixed to the ground and connected to existing sheep yards. These races can quiet often be inconvenient as the grazier has to enter the sheep race with the sheep. If he/she is drenching the sheep they are not cooperative and this practice can in fact be back breaking work.
The sheep also have to be brought to the yards and this can be very time consuming.
These problems are overcome by the present invention, which provides a mobile modular lift race comprising of two lengths of box section steel called bearers, connected to an axle system which is placed under the two bearers and running crossways to said bearers. The axle system has two wheel assembly units each fitted with road bearing tyres which becomes the mobile undercarriage.
A lifting frame is attached to the bearers which has two tine racks of high tensile tubular steel, and tines attached to them at spaced intervals.
These parts along with a hydraulic system form the basic structure of the said invention.
The tines, when open form a pathway for the sheep to enter. Then when the hydraulic system is activated, high tensile steel cabelling applies a force to two cam bars that are attached to the lifting frame, which pushes these cam bars in a forward motion. The same force is then applied to the tine racks and effectively the tines will close down under the sheep forming a cradle.
Once the tines have fully closed around the sheep, the lifting motion of the invention comes into effect, lifting the sheep off the ground while being supported by the tines. This allows the operator to carry out the tasks he requires to do while the sheep are totally immobilized and there is no need for them to enter the race. They can simply walk up and down on the outside.
To assist with the understanding of the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawing which shows the invention.
Fig 1 shows the mobile modular lift race according to this invention and its application.
Referring to fig 1 it can be seen that the lift race according to this invention comprises bearers connected to the axle with the axle crank at The axle locking plate locking pin assembly locking pin and handle (E3) and axle anchoring bushes (E4) form the connection of the bearers to the axle The wheels are then connected to the axle crank Hydraulic rams (F) are place on top of the bearers A tow hitch assembly is attached to one end of the bearers Tine racks are then connected via high tensile bolts to the lift frame in which the tines are then spaced at intervals along the tine racks Lift leg knuckles are p[laced at each end of the tine racks and also joined to the lift frame Cams are then placed and attached to the cam bar along with the cam bar slide and cam bar slide pulleys The main lift cable made of high tensile steel cabling along with the undercarriage raising cable is attached to hydraulic rams When the hydraulic system is activated, pressure is applied to the main lift cables which through the cam rail pulleys drive the cam rails forward This action raises the tines on the cams (A3) which cause the cradle effect to form.
When that action has taken place, force then is directed to the top of the lift frames on either side, pulling them up almost vertical whilst pivoting from the bottom.
When the direction of the rams is reversed, the whole procedure is reversed, lowering the lift race to its original position.
Claims (8)
1. A mobile modular lift race comprising of an axle system connected to two bearers, which in turn are connected to a lifting frame.
2. A mobile modular lift race of claim 1 where in the lifting frame has two or more tine racks allowing extra modules to be attached. Tines are added to the tine racks at spaced intervals.
3. A mobile modular lift race of claim 2, where in the tines are slightly bent two thirds of the way, and are positioned so as to point downward.
4. A mobile modular lift race of claims 1-3, where in two cam bars attached to the lifting frame act on the tine racks and effectively close the tines around the sheep so as to cradle them.
A mobile modular lift race of claims 1-4, where in being powered by two hydraulic rams.
6. A mobile modular lift race of claim 1 where in two wheel assemblies each having road bearing tyres, enabling said lift race to become mobile when need be.
7. A mobile modular lift race of claims 1-6, where in said race is manufactured from high tensile steel and steel cabling.
8. A mobile modular lift race substantially as here in described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Mr John McKinnon 8 th September 2003
