DE3842638C1 - Cages for keeping and breeding animals, in particular birds - Google Patents

Abstract

Cages, suitable for keeping and breeding animals, in particular birds, which can be modified spatially in a modular manner to form cage groups and subsequently the side partitions can be removed to form larger cages. Individual cages are removed from the cage groups or inserted into cage groups. Before removal, all previously open sides both of one and of a number of sections as well as also the opposite sides can be shut off horizontally and vertically by variable walls. After insertion, the previously shut-off walls can be opened again. Thus, animals can be removed from or introduced into the cage group. <IMAGE>

Description

The invention relates to cages for holding and breeding of animals, in particular birds, according to the preamble of claim 1.

It has so far been common for cages to be immutable, specifically can be manufactured for specific requirements. The requirements are mainly based on needs of animals or humans, needs z. B. by the Type, number and size of animals or by z. B. taste Ideas of people are formed.

There are special cages for all requirements. Special cages have many disadvantages.

The unchangeable, firmly connected grids the cages also form the unchangeable cage shapes. The main direction of the grating is usually either vertical or horizontally. As soon as the animal lover z. B. the type changed the size or number of animals purchased,  or the execution of the cages z. B. in terms of design or material no longer meets the expectations a new cage can be purchased.

That means new costs for the animal lover and that Storage problem e.g. Cages not currently required and a huge warehouse for manufacturers and retailers of different models - which also means costs.

But are now based on the knowledge that unsuitable Cages the anyway restricted living conditions of the animals If cages continue to deteriorate, more are created Problems. Getting the animals out of the old cages and sitting in the new "animal shelters" generally means great excitement and stress. The animals, in particular Birds can often only be chased in the old Cages can be caught and taken out. Here it can be hardly avoid opening the cage spaces a little. The Escape opportunities are offered by the cage residents often used to escape, so the chases are then in the apartment to be continued.

The stress created by the catches can affect health severely impair the animals, it can even kill them. In addition, the animals can be strong when trying to escape hurt and z. B. cause fractures. Every move also means for people, especially for the elderly who mostly own pets, stress and also risk of injury e.g. B. by biting and scratching the captured animals. Conventional cages can hardly be cleaned and disinfected thoroughly will. The usual cleaning means stress and risk of escape.  

The few known, convertible cages are said to be special tasks in animal husbandry, especially in the Bird husbandry meet and are therefore only to a limited extent designed to be changeable.

It is Z. B. known that conversions from cages to social cages, by pushing partitions into rigid ones Cage housing can be reached.

It is also known from DE OS 29 41 689 that larger cages are assembled from cages can be.

This is due to the contiguous placement in rows and / or stacks of expandable cages educated. Tower cages formed separately cannot be used in the Height can be changed when there are animals, especially birds are in these cages. Also, none can variable horizontal barriers and culverts in these Cages are formed. The fact that the bottom parts firmly with other parts of the cage is separate cleaning the bottom parts impossible, so cages of this type, except as described as a breeding cage, can hardly be used. Open trained, releasably lockable outsides can not replaced when there are animals in the cages will. It is also not possible to use individual modules, though are designed with a bottom part to be used as a cage, because they cannot be cleaned. On the other hand, you can modules formed with coupling parts do not form a cage, because they have no bottom part. A variable cage construction is if there are animals in these cages, only possible through modules or sections attached next to each other.  

It is also known from FR-PA 23 42 652 that cages are variable in one block can be formed, with a block-shaped frame the interior of the block is transformed by partitions and floors can be. So different cage sizes can be form through the different functions in bird husbandry or breeding can be met.

These cages cannot be expanded externally. You have through their rigid design of the outer cage walls has the same disadvantages like conventional cages that cannot be changed from the outside.

The invention has for its object, in particular the above mentioned disadvantages of cages of the aforementioned Way of eliminating and creating cages that are systematic through To create sections and cage barriers in such a variable manner and animal-friendly training that different types of cages are formed in a wide variety of designs can, with cage conversion work and cage cleaning, and the transfer of animals, especially birds, without Stress and escape risk for the animals, can be carried out.

This task is in a generic training solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.  

The cages according to the invention can in particular by metal processing Industrial companies but also through woodworking Establishments are made and predominantly through trade are sold to private individuals. The cages can but also ideal as breeding cages or as sales cages for Selling animals can be used.

The further embodiment of the invention is in the Claims 2 to 18 reproduced.

In addition, can be added to further design the shape of the sections can be any, but with the expansion options through further sections or section groups from the design or from the Possibility of forming section openings, are dependent. Congruence, which is an adequate barrier between sections, auxiliary sections and Forming cage barriers is a requirement for everyone Barriers.

Variable walls can also be placed in front of cage components. That is e.g. B. advantageous if floor shells in sections or be inserted into cages or if z. B. insertable wall parts are trained.

Cage components can e.g. B. by quick fasteners or fixtures are attached while variable walls e.g. B. can be inserted into shut-off openings, which as Slits or slit-like are formed. Variable walls can also be detachably attached; shut-off devices can also be used e.g. B. releasably to auxiliary sections or Cage components are attached.  

It is envisaged that section openings in particular in the edge area are formed by open section pages. In cages that are blocked off by cage components and that are to be connected to each other, to which to cage components connecting connecting openings, be replaced by variable walls.

Of particular importance for the solution according to the invention is that through the variable walls adjoining section openings, or all previously open pages, respectively can be shut off. This makes it possible for both individual cages that consist of sections or of section groups can be formed from the cage groups formed can be, as well as remaining, previously to the detached cages adjacent cages, are blocked off. As cage groups, releasably interconnected are the same and marked unequal cages of a series, the outer Conclusion is irregular.

Cage batteries are designed similarly to cage groups, however, their outer termination is uniform, block-like educated.

Through shut-off slots that are located within section sides can be located with the help of variable walls Sections in variably changeable cage groups or cage batteries being transformed. However, they are so educated Cages cannot be detached.

Cube and cuboid sections can be on all sides are formed with section openings and are therefore on expandable on all sides and ideal for cage construction the modular principle.

As sections with z. B. a section opening can also Cage covers and bottom shells are formed. Cage covers can by a special design z. B. the Cage style also have a special spatial character Training z. B. in connection with bottom shells, form cages. Cage covers or floor shells can be used with doors and / or flaps are formed. Also fixed cage barriers and wall parts can additionally with doors and / or Flaps are formed; or sides with fixed cage barriers can be partially designed with section openings.  

The cages according to the invention can also be used with animals in the cages can be varied variably. It is possible that Different types of cages, from exclusive single cages to Exterior aviary created in a wide variety of designs can be. The sizes, shapes and designs of the Cages can contain animals, especially birds, in the cages are so variably changeable that they are z. B. any height and / or width and in any taste or style can be performed.

Cages can be used as single cages, as group cages or as battery cages be trained and as a luxury residential cage, as a sales facility cage or serve as a breeding cage.

The cages can be variably converted and changed in this way that they meet the requirements of cages, the z. B. by the size, number, type and needs the animals and z. B. by the taste requirements of People are determined, can be adapted.

Cage sizes and shapes within cage groups and of cage batteries can be changed variably. In these Cages can also accommodate different animals, the cages can also have different functions, such as: residence, breeding, sale or decoration. Through variable changeable cage barriers, especially by removable wall parts and cover parts can also differentiate cages Animal and human requirements can be adapted. For example removable wall parts can be easily replaced, if the grids are vertical instead of horizontal or with wide rather than narrow distances; or the color or the material quality should be changed. Cover parts can also be replaced due to design changes will.  

Because the cages according to the invention are so variable are that they change all desires, requirements and needs can be adjusted accordingly, only need the required sections or cage barriers are used to become.

This possibility of inexpensive adaptation of cages to changed Requirements can help many animals not in completely inadequate ones, often adopted by other animals Cages must spend their lives.

Work such as thorough cage cleaning in particular cage conversions are also due to the cages according to the invention without any special excitement or even stress and escape risk for the animals in the cages, possible.

The cages can be designed so that it is possible is animals through simple action within their current Isolate rooms with partitions so that they are together of the cage formed can be removed.

This makes it possible for the other parts of the cage to be separated e.g. B. can be cleaned or converted.

Cages that have been released from cages can e.g. B. ideal can be used as a transport or travel cage. Such Cages can e.g. B. also through floor parts in connection with spatially trained covers are formed.

The cages according to the invention can be used for commercial purposes constant movement in sales and warehouses mean sales and increase income. It is through the novel cages possible to keep the warehouse smaller and clearer and to enlarge the offer or the selection anyway.  

The confusing offer of the most diverse cages contributes to the often criticized poor product presentation Zoo shops at.

As an assortment, the cages according to the invention can have a uniform appealing picture, e.g. B. many different types but uniformly designed cages within series, Offer. The cages can be z. B. like this be designed and trained exclusively or in accordance with nature, that also improved the bad image of the zoo industry can be. By enhancing their image, buyer groups can that have not yet been reached.

The new sections and cage barriers can especially thanks to their modular design based on the modular system and by division according to the grid system, are manufactured very cheaply. In particular claim collapsible sections and wall parts like this little space that they z. B. also in decorative advertising packaging can be offered at self-service stands.

For the production of the new types of cages, besides the known ones Metal construction also other attractive, suitable Materials such as wood, plastic and transparent mesh are used will.

The cages are manufactured using conventional industrial methods Means and methods inexpensively possible.
