Abstract

Animal preparation device, each with separate, nested fuselage (3), neck (2), and head part (1), characterized in that between the head part (1) and a ball bearing (4) of the body part (3) an at least partially spherical element (5) is arranged such that the head part (1) is pivotable in any direction.

Description

The The invention relates to a holding device for animal preparations each comprising separate, nestable torso, neck, and Headboards, according to the preamble of the protection claim 1.

The Production of life-size, lifelike animal preparations in particular, using the animal skin has long been, for example for museums or for the exhibition of hunting trophies practiced. Here are prepared animal skulls often attached to signs or plates. When preparing a hunting trophy, such as antler skulls, Often only the skull of the killed animal remains Frontal bone and the nostril extending downwards from it.

Usually an animal to be prepared is first skinned and a detailed model of the core of the body. Depending on the type and size of the animal Various methods are available, wherein for the animal's head often at least partially the real skull is used.

One Disadvantage of such animal models was their rigidity, the made it necessary for different directions of view of the animal to produce different forms.

DE 203 19 367 U1 discloses separately manufactured neck and head pieces that replace the original neck, jaw and braid parts, allowing the neck piece to rotate right and left. In this case, the head contains at its Hinterhauptloch a cone that allows the rotation. A fuselage part additionally contains a rod-shaped cutout, through which runs a continuous threaded rod, which connects the neck and head parts together. However, such an arrangement disadvantageously only allows a limited lateral movement of the head part. In addition, the continuous threaded rod proves to be less practicable.

As a result, The present invention is based on the object, an animal preparation device with each separate, nested fuselage, neck, and Headboard to provide, in which the headboard is pivotable both laterally and vertically and the meshing the functional elements is simplified and facilitated.

These Task is in accordance with the features of the protection claim 1 solved.

One essential point of the invention is that in the inventive Animal preparation device between the head part and one Ball bearing of the body part an at least partially spherical Element is arranged such that the head part in any directions is pivotable. By using the at least partially Spherical element can be the head of the Animal preparations not only lateral, but also upwards and move down. In addition, by the storage of the at least partially Spherical element in a ball bearing or a Ball bed of the hull one compared to that specified in the prior art Device with cone and threaded rod significantly increased Stability achieved.

Preferably in this case has the at least partially spherical element a bore with a connecting element, which with the head part the hull part movably connects. Through the connecting element On the one hand, the pivotability of the head part is obtained, on the other hand ensures a firm connection between head and trunk.

The at least partially spherical element is preferred a lower opening through which the connecting element is arranged pivotably. Through the lower opening, which can take various forms, the extent of Pivoting the head part determined.

there is the lower opening of the at least partially spherical Element preferably larger in its edge region, as in its interior.

Especially Preferably, the lower opening is conical.

The Connecting element itself is preferably designed as a screw connection, their head in the head of the animal preparation as a countersunk head is formed and screwed their threads with the body part is. The screwing on the one hand, the pivoting of the header defined, on the other hand, a firm connection between Head and body guaranteed.

In an embodiment of the present invention are the nestable torso, neck, and head parts at least partially made of hard foam, plastic, plaster or the like. In order to the parts of the animal preparation are simple and quick-to-produce molded parts whose composition depends on Animal species and other requirements may vary.

Preferably In this case, at least the body part has a cavity. Especially by milling as completely as possible Can in the fuselage part on a rod-shaped guide and a long threaded rod are dispensed with. this makes possible In addition, a low-friction turning of the neck part.

The Neck part is preferably rotatable about a pin-like element connected to the body part. Through the leadership by means of a pin at the bottom of the neck becomes a centered Rotation allows and in particular tilting of the elements avoided yield further advantageous embodiments from the dependent claims.

advantages and expediencies are the following description to be taken in conjunction with the drawing. Hereby show:

1 a side view of a head portion of an animal preparation device according to the invention with partially spherical element;

2a , b is a (a) side and (b) front view of a head portion of the animal preparation device;

3a , b is a (a) front and (b) side view of a neck portion of the animal preparation device; and

4a , b is a (a) front and (b) side view of a body part of the animal preparation device.

1 shows a side view of a headboard 1 an animal preparation device according to the invention, wherein between the head part 1 and the ball bearing 4 an underlying body part 3 a partially spherical element 5 is arranged so that the head part can be pivoted in any direction. By using the at least partially spherical element 5 Thus, the head of the animal preparation can not only move laterally, but also up and down. In addition, by the storage of the at least partially spherical element 5 in a ball storage 4 or a ball bed of the hull 3 a comparison with the device in the prior art with cone and threaded rod significantly increased stability achieved.

The partially spherical element 5 contains a bore through which an example designed as a screw connection element 7 is guided, which connects the head part with the body part movable. The screw shows a trained as a countersunk head in the headboard 1 the animal preparation; the thread 8th is with the body part 3 screwed. By screwing on the one hand, the pivoting of the headboard 1 defined, on the other hand a firm connection between head 1 and hull 3 guaranteed. By slightly unscrewing the screw 7 the extent of the pivotability of the head part is increased.

The spherical element 5 For example, has a conical opening 6 on, through which the gland 7 and with it the headboard 1 can be pivoted. Through the lower opening 6 , which can take various forms, becomes the maximum amount of pivoting of the head part 1 certainly.

In 2a and 2 B are in side and front view, the headboard 1 presented an animal preparation. Thus, for example, in a preparation of an animal skull as a hunting trophy, the viewing direction of the animal preparation itself after its attachment to a trophy board at the discretion of the user to be changed

3a and 3b show in front and side view of a neck part 2 animal preparation device Both hull 3 -, Neck 2 - and headboard 1 can at least partially interlock or nest in one another and are preferably made of hard foam, plastic, plaster or the like. The neck part 1 has a pin-like, cylindrical element 10 and is thus rotatable with the body part 3 connected. The leadership of the neck 1 by means of the pin 10 allows centered rotation within the body part 3 , In addition, the neck part 1 in his throat area a curvature, in particular an up and downwardly directed pivoting movement of the head part 1 facilitated.

4a and 3b show in front or side view of a body part 3 the animal preparation device. The body part 3 has a cavity, which can be created for example by complete milling. This allows easy insertion and also a low-friction turning of the neck part 2 , In the upper edge of the fuselage 3 is the ball bearing or the ball bed 4 for the at least partially spherical element 5 of the arranged. The screw connection of the connecting element 7 takes place before the ball bed 4 of the body part 3 ,

All Features disclosed in the application documents are considered to be essential to the invention as far as they are individually or in combination the prior art are new.
