Bracket for livestock

The invention relates to a bracket for livestock, consisting of at least two essentially vertically extending delimiting members arranged at a distance from one another.

Telephone: Lindau (MMZ) »17th

Facilities of this type are known. They consist essentially of a Y-shaped frame which is secured to the lower end of its vertical beam in the ground. The downside of one

thus shaped frame lies in the fact that the fork _n: the animal piece held by the frame in the throat area, for example, beef in his freedom of movement, inhibits since this fork piece presses against the chest of the animal lying.

The object on which the invention is based is now to create a holder that not only avoids this disadvantage

W avoids, but also allows the animal maximum freedom of movement and at the same time offers absolute security against the animal slipping out. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the limiting members are designed as chains, ropes and / or at least partially from elastically deformable rods, tubes, rails or the like and run approximately parallel between the two abutments used to fix them. This allows the animal to stand or stand unhindered from the holder

^ to lie down and to the side thanks to the deformable delimitation elements or to move back and forth. For this purpose, the upper and / or lower abutments are useful transversely to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable frame plane formed by the limiting members.

In order to clearly demonstrate the essence of the invention, are based on the drawing, without thereby limiting the invention, different

dene exemplary embodiments explained. Show it:

FIG. 1 shows a holder formed from chains; FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of the lower abutment; FIG. 3 the lower abutment partially cut open; FIG. 4 shows a section along the line A - A in FIG. 3; FIG. 5 shows a holder formed from tubes; Figure 6, 7 and 8 different pipe cross-sections;

Figure 9 and 10 different connection options between frame and lower abutment;

FIG. 11 a clamping jaw designed as an upper abutment.

In the first embodiment (FIG. 1) described below, the frame used to hold the animal consists of two vertically arranged and almost parallel chains

1 and 2, which are suspended with their upper ends on the clamping jaws 3 and 4, which are attached to the support tube 29 after releasing the clamp can be moved. Between the clamping jaws 3 and 4 and the chain ends, 3 and 4 are cranked in the clamping jaws Rods 6 and 7 rotatably mounted. In the recess 8 of the stable floor 9 is the lower abutment 10 around the axis of the bolt 11 can be pivoted because this bolt 11 passes through the "bracket 12" with play.

The basic structure of this abutment 10 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, but in the case of the bearing shown here, the The type of ground mounting differs somewhat from the abutment shown in FIG. 1. On the horizontally lying screw shaft 13 are pushed on: the left retaining bracket 14, the left bearing disk 15, the spacer sleeve 16, the right bearing disk 17 and the right retaining bracket 18. These individual parts are clamped together by the nut 19. The two bearing washers 15 and 17 serve as a guide for the sleeve 20, which is clamped with respect to the and fixed disks 15 and 17 is rotatable. Of course it is quite possible between the discs, 15 and 17 and of the sleeve 20 sealing collars, sealing rings or the like. To be provided. A coil spring 21, which on the spacer sleeve 16

909884/0049

is pushed, is fixed with its one end to the fixed disk 17, its other end 22 protrudes into a corresponding formed opening of the sleeve 20. To fasten the chain ends, hooks 23 are provided on the sleeve 20. Also are natural basically other fastening options, such as eyelets (FIG. 2), are conceivable. The bore 24 takes one Cotter pin for the chain.

The top hanger (Fig. 11) looks for each end of the chain a clamping jaw 25 before, which consists essentially of a U-shaped Bracket 26 is made, the free ends of which receive a roller 27. The cranked rod 6 is located in the central web 28 of the bracket 26 rotatably mounted. The clamping jaw 25 is displaceable on the centrally located support tube 29. The side of the support tube 29 provided Pull rod 30 is used for the centrally actuatable displacement of the clamping jaws 25. After loosening the clamping screw 31, which the Clamping jaws clamped to the pull rod 30, the clamping jaw can be shifted on its own on the support tube 29. The two clamping jaws 3 and 4 show the same structure, but are rotated by 180 against each other and mounted on the support tube 29, since the clamping jaw 4 is clamped to the pull rod 30 and the clamping jaw 3 to the pull rod 32.

The neck of the animal, for example the cattle, lies between the two chains 1 and 2, which run from the floor to the upper suspension run practically parallel to each other. If the animal is not perpendicular to the manger, but at any angle, so the frame formed by the two chains can give way and follow the movement of the animal thanks to the resilient suspension. The torsion spring proposed according to the invention has the essential " lent advantage that they have an approximately constant spring force in their

Has intended rotation area. Furthermore, the torsion spring housed in the sleeve 20 in a corrosion-proof and dust-proof manner. The proposed storage of the sleeve by means of the bracket 12 and of the bolt 11 fixed in the ground is that of the chains 1 and 2 formed frame pivotable about its longitudinal axis. However, the frame can also follow the movement of the animal when it is moved forward or backward. From Fig. 2 it can be seen that from the normal position on both sides a relatively wide deflection of the fastening hook 23 is possible. The steered positions have been entered with dashed lines for the sake of clarity. Of course the chain is under tension even in this position of the torsion spring. It is also emphasized that that the arrangement of the torsion spring on or in the ground is by no means mandatory for the invention. Without affecting the effect of this spring

In principle, it would be possible to arrange them on the support tube 29, for example.

It is also within the scope of the invention to provide several hooks on the sleeve 20 in order to thereby also be in the area of the abutment to vary the distance of the chains 1 and 2 from each other.

The following should also be noted as an essential advantage achieved by the torsion spring: the frame is opened by, for example by means of the pull rod 30 of the clamping jaws 4 is pushed to the right (FIG. 1), the upper end of the chain moves with the clamping jaws and the chain rotates around its lower suspension point provided on the abutment 10. Advantageously, however, comes with this movement Chain does not use the force of the spring, since it does not twist the sleeve 20, so that the neck frame does not must be opened against the force of the spring.

Another embodiment of the invention is now shown in FIG. 5. The lower abutment 10 ', which is designed as a torsion spring is attached by means of the two hooks 33 in the ground. The neck frame is formed from plastic tubes 34 which are in the lower area by means of an adjustable hinge 35 with

909884/0049

_ ₈ _ 150709?

are connected to each other. With this hinge the frame- « wide can be changed. The frame and abutment 10 'are connected to one another via the U-shaped bracket 36 and the chain piece 37. Instead of the chain piece, an elastic band 39 can also be provided (FIG. 10 /). The upper suspension 38 corresponds that described in FIGS. 1 and 11. It is essential and important in the frame formed from the plastic tubes 34, that the plastic pipes have internal stiffeners (Fig. 6 to 8), so that the section modulus of these pipes 34 with respect to two perpendicular cross-sectional axes has different values. The animal can thus move in the direction of its longitudinal axes move something while the animal is practically prevented from slipping sideways.

The advantages achieved by the invention are again briefly summarized: The holder holds the animal securely and offers It still gives him maximum freedom of movement, the holder is reliable, easy to assemble and harmless to the animal.
