DE102005036391B4 - Absammelgerät for animal excrement, especially for horse apples - Google Patents

Abstract

The animal droppings, especially horse droppings, are picked up with a pitchfork or a special horse droppings remover (DE 202 07 632 U1) in order to dispose of as few other materials as possible (sawdust, wood shavings, sand, other litter or riding surface). This requires enormous effort to separate horse droppings and material that is still usable (riding surface, etc.) or large motorized devices or pitchforks with blowers (dust generation). This new collection device should be energy-saving, network-independent, space-saving and dust-free. DOLLAR A A vibrator, shaker or bottle shaker is attached to the fork or Bollengabel (made of metal or plastic); this can be in or on the device handle or directly on the upper part of the device prongs. The vibrations cause the device tines to oscillate, which means that smaller materials (from sawdust ... to riding surface) fall faster through the device tines. DOLLAR A Thus, this new collecting device is particularly suitable for separating manure and material that is still usable, especially in tight spaces (hanger, box, etc.) or with valuable riding surface.

Description

Currently, narrow and wide fork stands of steel, plastic or other suitable material are used, as are special horse droppings ( DE 202 07 632 U1 ). These must all be shaken manually after the intake of the animal feces to be disposed of with high force, so that the still dry good litter or expensive riding surface falls through the tines. There are large devices of all kinds, for which, however, a lot of space is needed and work only network-dependent or fuel. Regardless of the mains, there are devices that work with fans.

Of the Animal excrement, in particular horse apples should be without additional Effort as possible fast and accurate be separated from other materials. The Absammelgerät should preferably easy to use, as well as the long needed effort minimize to a minimum. It should be everywhere in the smallest space (Box, trailer etc.) and off-grid be usable. Furthermore, no additional space in stall, trailer or Riding hall need. The material to be separated should not be used as with blower Mistforks whirl through the air, especially horses dust and sensitive to noise are.

• 1. Um den Tierkot ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand zu trennen wird ein Vibrator, Rüttler oder Flaschenrüttler am oder im Gerätestiel oder direkt am oberen Teil der Gerätezinken einer handelsüblichen Gabel/Bollengabel angebracht. Somit wird der Kraftaufwand auf ein Minimum reduziert.
• 2. Das Absammelgerät ist einfach wie eine herkömmliche Mistgabel, also kein zusätzlicher Platzaufwand und es ist auf kleinstem Raum einsetzbar.
• 3. Die Rütteleinheit wird entweder durch einen im Gerätestiel ein-/oder angebauten Schalter betätigt oder über einen Gewichtssensor an der Gabel automatisch bei Gewichtsbelastung geschaltet. Somit können die Pferdeäpfel staubfrei und geräuscharm vom Rest getrennt werden.
• 4. Das Gerät wird mit handelsüblichen Akkus, somit netzunabhängig betrieben. Die Akkus werden im oder am Gerätestiel befestigt, so dass das Absammelgerät gewichtsmäßig ausgewogen in den Händen liegt.

The problems are specifically solved by the features listed in the patent claims and achieve the following advantages:

• 1. To separate the animal excrement without additional effort, a vibrator, vibrator or bottle vibrator is mounted on or in the device handle or directly on the upper part of the device tines of a standard fork / bollen fork. Thus, the effort is reduced to a minimum.
• 2. The Absammelgerät is just like a conventional pitchfork, so no extra space and it is used in the smallest space.
• 3. The vibrating unit is either actuated by a switch installed in or attached to the device handle or automatically switched to a load by a weight sensor on the fork. Thus, the horse apples can be separated from the rest dust-free and quiet.
• 4. The device is operated with standard batteries, thus independent of the mains. The batteries are fixed in or on the device handle, so that the Absammelgerät balanced in weight lies in the hands.

One potential embodiment The invention is illustrated in the following drawings and described in more detail.

1 Device handle with built-in rechargeable battery and vibrator as well as control by weight sensor

2 Device handle with attached battery and vibrator with operation via switch

3 Vibration unit mounted directly on the upper part of the device tines

Function and effect of invention

1 & 2

The at or in the upper part of the device handle ( 1 ) or built-in commercial battery ( 3 ) is used to power the at or in the lower part of the device handle ( 1 ) built-in vibrator, vibrator or bottle vibrator ( 2 ). Both are connected by a cable ( 4 ) connected with each other. The batteries ( 3 ) are in weight with the vibrator, vibrator or bottle vibrator ( 2 ) so that the Absammelgerät balanced in the hand. The power supply is provided with a commercially available switch ( 5 ) located on or in the device ( 1 ) or a weight sensor ( 6 ), which is located at the lower part of the stem, switched on and off. When switched on, the vibrator, vibrator or bottle vibrator ( 2 ) with its vibrations, the tines of the pitchfork to swing, thereby the material thereon (Rossäpfel, litter, sawdust, sand or other common materials in the box, trailer, riding or riding floor), which is separated as quickly and precisely as possible after picking up with the fork to be shaken. As a result, the smaller parts such as bedding, sawdust, sand or other common good and reusable materials fall between the tines, while larger parts such as horse droppings remain on the fork and thus can be passed with this for disposal or reuse in any container ,

3

Here is the vibration unit ( 7 ) directly on the upper part of the device tines ( 8th ) appropriate. From there the cable runs ( 4 ) to the battery. The standard fork / boll fork is as usual on the device handle ( 1 ) attached.

Claims (2)

Absammelgerät for animal excrement, in particular for horse apples, characterized in that on or in the device handle ( 1 ) of the Absammelgerätes commercial battery ( 3 ), which is connected by a cable ( 4 ) with a vibrator, vibrator or bottle vibrator attached to or in the device handle ( 2 ), or with a directly on the upper part of the device tines ( 8th ) mounted vibration unit ( 7 ), connected is. Absammelgerät according to claim 1, characterized in that with a mounted in or on the handle switch ( 5 ) or by weight sensor ( 6 ) the Absammelgerät is made to vibrate.
