Cattle grid to form a floor in the cattle shed

The invention relates to a cattle grate, of which a plurality arranged side by side in the cattle shed forms the usual floor. Such cattle gratings made of reinforced concrete with elongated slots are already known for cattle sheds.

It is the object of the invention to overcome certain disadvantages of the known cattle racks for the cattle on it. Some animals suffer serious hoof injuries from the continued contact of those claws with the mostly sharp-edged slots or other slot-shaped openings in the grids. That's because the claws of the animals are easily injured if the animals stand on the uncovered floor in the barn and / or stand up after lying down. Injuries of this kind lead to the fact that the animals can no longer stand on the injured claws and therefore must be brought to the slaughterhouse early on. The invention eliminates these disadvantages by the recognition

nis that the arrangement of a large number of smaller holes in the surface of the cattle red is required, in connection with their special dimensions and design.

The cattle grate according to the invention is now characterized in that its surface with a large number of fairly small Holes is provided, the scope of which is matched to the most frequently occurring claw dimensions. This allows the otherwise common claw injuries in animals standing in the barn can be significantly reduced.

According to a further development of the invention, oval or round holes can also be arranged in the surface of the cattle grate are angps without sharp-edged transitions of the perimeter of the hole. Through this one achieves further considerable advantages and thus hardly any more animals with hoof injuries are taken away.

The invention is explained with reference to the drawing of two exemplary embodiments. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cattle grate according to the invention of small width;

FIG. 2 shows a cross section along the line AA in FIG. I _; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section along the line BB in ^ ig. 1;

4- a perspective view of an inventive Cattle grid of greater width than in the case of the cattle grid according to FIG. 1;

Fig. 5 shows a cross section along the line A-A in Pig. 4 and FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal section along the line B-B in FIG. 4.

In the exemplary embodiments, the narrow cattle grate 1 is approximately half the width of the cattle grate 2. As usual, the Cattle grate produced as a prefabricated, lightly reinforced concrete element with a common length of 220 cm and a Width of about 55 cm in the embodiment of FIG. 1 and about twice the width of 110 cm in FIG. 4. The holes 3 are in the middle areas of the grate surface fully executed, however only half executed in the edge areas, so that two When the edges of the rust meet, they form a full hole. In the embodiment shown, the round holes have a diameter of 55 mm on the grate surface and this diameter increases downwards over the thickness of the bottom up to 65 mm. In FIGS. 2, 3 and 5, 6, a longitudinal or transverse reinforcement of the cattle grate is shown by means of support parts 4, whereby noted becomes that the scale of these figures is unequal.

The holes 3 can be round or oval, it would also be polygonal possible, but is less interesting for production reasons. Each hole 3 can go up first from top to bottom 2 cm deep cylindrical and then diverge conically over an area of 14 cm. The bottom 5 is with it a thickness of about 6 cm connected to the beams 4, which

can have a total height of 16 cm "Although in these cases" play the length of the cattle rust was designated with 220 em, this length can be variable to meet the needs of the user. The holes can be arranged in rows at will or other figurations. In general NEN creates a fairly light design of a cattle grate because the edges themselves are designed as half holes 5 and several cattle racks are arranged side by side and are less massive with a greater width.
