Support bracket for exchangeable rigid sow cages

The innovation concerns a universal support bracket for exchangeable rigid sow cages ₅ in farrowing pens
be set up.

With increasing concentration of animal production
there is an increased need for husbandry methods
and Stal. ^{1 facilities} that give the animals the most favorable ■ environmental conditions with reduced workload j '

convey. This is particularly true in pigs; breeding and piglet production establishments. Depending on the j

species and available space are there- |

at lattice cages of various designs _like verwendst z |

8. Lattice cages running in a straight line to the pen, lattice cages at an angle ί towards the feeding trough, connecting grids \

straight version and such obliquely to feed \ trough running out. Each of these sow cages differs in its handling and its achievable benefit ^! ; basically from each other, so that the pig farmer
repeated partly for lack of space, partly for reasons
the necessary change does not have all the known advantages
; in? p rearing pigs may benefit.

j The innovation is based on the task of building a support bracket |

of the type described at the outset in such a way that optional

wise a rigid sow cage of various types in the Existing fencing of the farrowing pen can be used.

The task of the present innovation is achieved by that with a trestle, the two with their lateral distance delimiting the feeding trough, firmly in the stable floor anchored rear pillars, in their upper end piece horizontally extending holes for receiving Have support bolts, on which optionally a rigid lattice cage by means of its vertically extending legs a front U-shaped end bracket can be pivoted, with a lower section of the upright columns Snap lock establishes a detachable connection between the support frame and the lattice cage.

In a simple embodiment of the plug closure |

is an angled bolt horizontally through a drill |

tion of the legs of the U-shaped end frame and |

one with this aligned hole out of the column, which is the same distance as the two holes in the Leg of the closure frame.

Of course, there is also the option of using a pipe clamp to save drilling on both sides, which can be moved either on the vertical leg of the end frame or directly on the column is led.

A high level of stability of the support frame and the with it connected lattice cage is achieved when one of the legs of the U-shaped on the lower part of the two standing columns End bracket of the grid cage partially encompassing stop bracket is attached.

In a further development of the innovation, a locking hook is placed on the crossbars of the two connecting walls, the one with the connector disengaged and tilted Position of the lattice cage on the web of the U-shaped End bracket can be hung and holds the cage in the tilted position.

The locking hook is expediently made of a straight line running web with inwardly directed U-shaped development on both ends.

The innovation is based on an exemplary embodiment Drawing explained in more detail.

It shows:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the trestle with the sow cage attached to the pillars in use position,

FIG. 2 shows a sow cage corresponding to FIG. 1, but with an incline towards the feeding trough Sidewalls,

3 shows a sow cage as a tying stand with straight lines extending towards the feeding trough Sidewalls and

4 shows a sow cage corresponding to FIG. 3, but with an incline towards the feeding trough Sidewalls.

According to FIG. 1, the trestle 1 consists of two im Distance to each other, firmly anchored in the stable floor rear standing columns 2, which via connecting walls 3 with front floor supports 4 are connected. Between the stand

columns 2 and floor supports 4 or the connecting walls 3, the feed trough 5 is used. Above the feeding trough 5 cross bars 6 are used, which, as will be explained later, have to fulfill shut-off tasks and at the same time serve to hold a suspension hook 7. The rear upright columns 2 have their upper end piece horizontally running bores 8, which serve to receive support bolts 9 on which a rigid lattice cage 10 mounted pivotably in bores 8 'of its vertically extending legs 11 of its front U-shaped end bracket 12 is. The rear upright columns 2 have a stop bracket open towards the lattice cage 10 on their lower part 13, on which the legs 11 of the end bracket 12 rest in the position of use of the lattice cage 10. At the same time, the grid cage 10 is locked in this position by means of a plug lock. By a at the lower end of the leg 11 guided horizontally extending bore 14, which is connected to a in the lower part of the column 2 extending bore 15 is aligned, a locking bolt 16 is inserted, which is through one on the drawing lock washer, not shown, is secured against slipping out. When stowing the pig or for cleaning of the stand is after pulling out the locking bolts 16 on both sides from the bores 14 and 15 of the Lattice cage 10 is pivoted around the support bolts arranged on both sides up to the feed trough and by means of the hanger hook 7 held on the crossbars 6 connecting the connecting walls 3 in the raised position. the Cross bars 6 also have to fulfill the task of an exit of the housed pig on the feed trough side to prevent. Depending on the requirements, you can alternatively or alternate at any time with a few simple steps a mesh cage suitable for the application method and intended use.
