Cattle treatment crate

The invention relates to a cattle treatment crate for the passage treatment, in which a head of cattle from the inlet located on one side of the crate is passed through to the outlet grille on the other side of the crate. The inlet is then "locked and the neck of the cattle is surrounded in the crate with a bracket. The outlet grille can then be opened, to make the head and neck of the head accessible to cattle. Following this, the bracket is released so that the piece Cattle are then led out of the outlet of the crate can.

In a known crate, the bracket is between the The inlet and the outlet, with the side walls extending from the inlet to the outlet. In this arrangement The neck and head of the piece of cattle enclosed in the bracket are difficult to access without opening the enclosure for one entering person is at risk.

In contrast, the invention is based on the object of creating a shed in which this disadvantage is avoided or is significantly reduced.

Accordingly, there is a cattle treatment crate in terms of w invention consists of a frame with one side inlet and a pair of side walls, and a bracket for the attack on the neck · the located in the crate piece cattle, wherein an outlet screen is provided at the other end of the frame, which at the from the inlet remote side of the bracket is located and off. an openable side rail section, the. in the closed position of the grid forms a side wall extension going beyond the bracket, the. Bracket and the outlet grille can be operated independently of one another.

In this way, the side rail section of which preferably two pieces are provided open,. a relatively unobstructed access to the neck and Obtaining head of the piece of cattle. ,

The two side grid sections are expediently connected in a hinge-like manner to the side wall structures in the vicinity of the bracket. - tied, with a front rail to one of the side rail sections is connected like a hinge.

To further illustrate the invention, refer to Beaug drawings referring to an exemplary embodiment. Show in it:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a model example, cattle treatment crate according to the invention, at your The exit grille is open and the egg hanger is closed is,

FIG. 2 shows a similar perspective illustration of the sleep. wobui closed the exit gate and the bracket is open,

FIG. 3 shows an enlarged partial cross section accordingly the line 3-3 of Figure 2 and

Figure - »v - a cross section corresponding to Figure 3, but with the Parts in the closed position of the bow · reproduced are.

As can be seen from the drawings, "there is a closure" us a frame that runs through a pair of side panels 10, 11, that is various cross members 12 and the bottom 13 are connected, is formed. On one side of the frame is the Inlet 1%, close to it on each side of the wall · «into a« horizontal Rail 1 & forming part with a row at the top in front of * standing stops 16 is provided, di «angled away from the inlet are. These stops 16 act with a closing rod lueaouien, us the inlet for the stack located in the crate Cattle in the usual way, see below.

To operate the spherical sections, a handle HS is connected to a shoulder H6 on a tubular spindle 44, which extends into the tube bearing 45, which is located next to and parallel to the upper one of the bearings HO. The attachment H6 has an operating lever 47 which is connected to it in a pivotable manner, while the other end of the operating lever is connected to the connecting lever 42 in a pivotable manner approximately in the middle of the same. As can be seen from Figure 4, the arrangement of the linkage described is such that the axis of the articulated connection between dsm extension 46 and the operating lever 43 when closed!

The described shed 11At can be used with advantage in a variety of ways. For example, there is a stack of cattle after it has been brought into the crate through the inlet and held in it by means of the bracket, by only one or treat both doors 51. After the treatment, the bow sections can either be before or after the opening of the forehead grille 21 loosen.

There are also various arrangements of the outlet grille “Possible. For example, the front grille 21 can instead of its articulated connection from the "rare grille section 18" dt these »be firmly connected. Optionally, »with two front rail sections in a fixed connection» with the two side rails « provide for sections 17 and 18. The two side rail sections and the front rail can also form a single, fixed unit which can be pivoted about a vertical axis. One Such a fixed unit can also be arranged such that a horizontal axis can be pivoted at its upper end, whereby a A suitable lever linkage is used for lifting and opening · Finally, there is also a pair of such arrangements, which u »an upper and a lower horizontal axis can be pivoted» use, whereby the AusIaA opens by pivoting upwards or downwards IaAt.
