Titlerv Device for stunning animals for slaughter, in particular pigs

The invention relates to a device for stunning slaughter animals, in particular pigs, with a trap which can be closed behind the animal with a slider after the animal has been driven in.

The invention is based on the object of creating a device of the aforementioned type that is easily affordable and simple, particularly for small butcher shops.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1. Appropriate further developments of the device according to the invention can be found in the subclaims.

The device according to the invention is relatively simple in its construction and is therefore inexpensive to manufacture. Furthermore, it does not take up much space.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing.

Fig. 1 shows a somewhat schematic front view of the device and

Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.

Fig. 1 shows the front view of a trap 1 of the device for stunning slaughter animals, in particular pigs. The animal to be stunning is indicated at 2. It is driven into the trap 1 before a

The grid door 3 is lowered using a cable pull 4. The animal 2 initially stands in the trap 1 on a floor 5, which is then folded away, as indicated by arrow 6 in Fig. 1, so that the animal 2 (pig) is held between two side walls 7 and 8 that narrow the trap 1 diagonally downwards, in order to be able to safely attach the corresponding electrodes (not shown) to stun the animal 2. The animal 2 is in position 2a according to Fig. 1.

After stunning the animal 2, one side wall 7 is folded down to the building floor 9 as a sliding ramp, around an axis 10. The stunned animal 2 assumes the lying position 2b and can then be transported away for further processing. Arrows 11 show the folding and unfolding movement of the side wall 7.

A pedal 12 is connected to the bottom 5 of the trap 1, with which the bottom 5 of the trap 1 can be folded up again after the stunning action and after the stunned animal 2 has been transported away, with the help of a compression spring 13 assigned to the pedal. To trigger the folding away of the trap bottom 5, a release rod 14 is provided, which is rotatably mounted in a frame 15 of the trap 1 and is angled above the trap 1 to form a rotary handle 16. The lock 17 for the trap bottom 5 is located at the lower end of the release rod 13.
