Indretning til brug ved kunstig inseminering af et husdyr Opfindelsens områdeDevice for use in artificial insemination of a livestock The invention

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en indretning til brug ved kunstig inseminering af et husdyr, især en so, hvilken indretning omfatter en til en sædbeholder beregnet holder, som er fastgjort til et langstrakt støtteorgan, der er indrettet for at forløbe hen over dyrets ryg til et punkt bag dyret, samt mindst et U-formet bøjleorgan, der er dannet af to elastiske bøjlegrene, og som er forbundet med støtteorganet, og som under inseminering kan ligge an mod dyrets ryg og sider.The present invention relates to a device for use in the artificial insemination of a livestock, in particular a sow, which comprises a holder intended for a semen container which is attached to an elongated support means adapted to extend over the animal's back to a point behind the animal, as well as at least one U-shaped brace, formed by two elastic braces, which are connected to the support means and which, during insemination, may abut against the animal's back and sides.

Opfindelsen er udviklet til brug for inseminering af søer i større bedrifter, men en indretning kan også anvendes til inseminering af andre husdyr, for eksempel køer, geder og far. I det følgende vil opfindelsen dog blive forklaret i forbindelse med søer.The invention has been developed for use in inseminating sows in larger farms, but a device can also be used for inseminating other livestock, such as cows, goats and father. However, in the following, the invention will be explained in connection with lakes.

Opfindelsens baggrundBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Der kendes fra DK 171072 en indretning af den indledningsvis kendte type. Denne indretning gør det muligt, at sædbeholderen holdes af støtteorganet uden assistance fra en person, og at der opnås en stimulering af soen på en måde, som en orne ville påvirke soen med sin bug og sine forben.From DK 171072 a device of the type known initially is known. This arrangement allows the semen container to be held by the support member without the assistance of a person, and the stimulation of the sow is obtained in a way that a boar would affect the sow with its abdomen and forelegs.

Den kendte indretning giver et statisk tryk under hele insemineringen. Endvidere er det tryk, der udøves af de elastiske bøjlegrene, afhængigt af soens størrelse, idet der udøves et større tryk på større søer og et mindre tryk på mindre søer. Trykket, der udøves, er således ikke individuelt tilpasset den enkelte so.The known device provides a static pressure throughout the insemination. Furthermore, the pressure exerted by the elastic hanger branches is dependent on the size of the sieve, exerting greater pressure on larger sows and less pressure on smaller sows. Thus, the pressure exerted is not individually adapted to the individual sow.

Der kendes også eksempler på indretninger, der udøver en vibrationspåvirkning for at stimulere soen under insemineringen. Stimulering er især vigtig ved begyndelsen af inseminering for at fa soen til at udskille hormoner, som muliggør et større udbytte i form af højere befrugtningsprocent og flere fødte unger per insemination. Der kendes for eksempel fra US 2009/0030267 en indretning, som omfatter en saddelformet del, der har en hesteskolignende udformning med bøjelige/fleksible sidesektioner, hver med en nedre del. Indretningen omfatter også en anordning som tilvejebringer en be- 2 DK 177269 B1 vægelse af indretningens sidesektioner med nedre dele. Bevægelsen af sidesektioner-ne er i forhold til hinanden både i retning mod og væk fra dyret.Also known are examples of devices which exert a vibration effect to stimulate the sow during insemination. Stimulation is particularly important at the onset of insemination in order to induce the secretion of hormones, which allows for a higher yield in the form of higher fertilization rates and more births per insemination. For example, from US 2009/0030267 a device is known which comprises a saddle-shaped part having a horseshoe-like design with flexible / flexible side sections, each with a lower part. The device also comprises a device which provides a weighting of the lower side sections of the device. The movement of the side sections is relative to each other both towards and away from the animal.

Den kendte indretning er teknisk kompliceret og dermed dyr at fremstille i forhold til de teknisk enkle indretninger, der udøver et statisk tryk. Den er tillige tungere end de enkle indretninger, der udøver et statisk tryk.The known device is technically complicated and thus expensive to manufacture in relation to the technically simple devices which exert a static pressure. It is also heavier than the simple devices which exert a static pressure.

I en bedrift vil der ofte være et større antal søer, som skal insemineres samtidig. Det vil være muligt for en person at arbejde med fire til fem indretninger ad gangen. Det er således en betydelig vægt, som en person skal flytte, når der foretages inseminering af et større antal søer. Det er ønskeligt at anvende indretninger, der giver høj befrugtningsprocent, og som samtidig er teknisk enkle og lette.In a farm, there will often be a larger number of sows that must be inseminated at the same time. It will be possible for one person to work with four to five devices at a time. Thus, it is a considerable weight that a person must move when inseminating a larger number of sows. It is desirable to use devices which give a high fertilization rate and which are at the same time technically simple and easy.

Opfindelsens formålThe object of the invention

Det er formålet med den foreliggende opfindelse at anvise en teknisk enkel indretning, der både reducerer det fysiske arbejde for den person, som skal foretage insemineringen, og samtidig muliggør en individuel tilpasning af indretningen til det enkelte dyr, og som tillige muliggør en variation af bøjleorganets tryk under insemineringen for opnåelse af en høj befrugtningsprocent.It is an object of the present invention to provide a technically simple device which both reduces the physical work of the person to perform the insemination and at the same time allows for an individual adaptation of the device to the individual animal, and which also enables a variation of the bracket member. pressure during the insemination to obtain a high fertilization rate.

Beskrivelse af opfindelsenDescription of the Invention

Dette opnås ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse med en indretning af den indledningsvis nævnte type, hvor de to elastiske bøjlegrene via et forbindelsesorgan med aktiveringsmidler er indbyrdes bevægeligt forbundne i et plan på tværs af det langstrakte støtteorgan og således også i retning mod og væk fra dyrets sider. Denne indretning er særpræget ved at forbindelsesorganet omfatter et hus med styrespor for styring af bøjlegrenene samt aktiveringsmidler, der omfatter et håndgreb for indstilling af de to bøjlegrenes individuelle indstilling.This is achieved according to the present invention with a device of the type mentioned initially, in which the two elastic hanger branches are connected via a connecting means with activating means in a plane transversely of the elongate support means and thus also towards and away from the sides of the animal. This device is characterized in that the connecting means comprises a housing with guide grooves for controlling the braces and activating means comprising a handle for adjusting the individual settings of the two braces.

Indretningen kan således fremstilles med en teknisk enkel og let konstruktion svarende til den, som kendes fra indretninger med statisk tryk. Indretningen kan på grund af U-formen let påsættes over soens ryg med bøjlegrenene i indbyrdes placering med stor indbyrdes afstand. Efter påsætning aktiveres forbindelsesorganets aktiveringsmidler, og bøjlegrenene forskydes mod hinanden for tilpasning til soens individuelle a 3 DK 177269 B1 størrelse. Således sker der ved påsætning en individuel indstilling af bøjlegrenene, således at trykket kan etableres ensartet uanset soens størrelse.Thus, the device can be manufactured with a technically simple and light construction similar to that known from static pressure devices. Due to the U-shape, the device can easily be placed over the back of the sow with the bracket branches in position at a large distance between them. After attachment, the actuating means of the connector are actuated and the brackets are displaced against each other for adaptation to the individual size of the sow. Thus, by applying an individual adjustment of the brace branches, so that the pressure can be established uniformly regardless of the size of the brace.

Endvidere kan trykket under insemineringen ændres, ved at brugeren aktiverer forbindelsesorganets aktiveringsmidler, således at bøjleorganet forskydes til udøvelse af større eller mindre tryk mod soens sider. Det har vist sig, at der opnås en høj befrugtningsprocent, uden trykket ændres kontinuerligt under insemineringen. Der er alene behov for en eller to ændringer i de minutter, hvor insemineringen foretages.Further, during insemination, the pressure can be altered by the user activating the actuating means of the connector, so that the hoop member is displaced to exert greater or less pressure on the sides of the sole. It has been found that a high fertilization rate is obtained, without the pressure changing continuously during the insemination. Only one or two changes are needed in the minutes of the insemination.

Desuden etableres en enkelt mekanisme, som manuelt indstilles med håndgrebet, således at bøjlegrenene placeres i ønsket indbyrdes stilling efter indretningens placering på soen. Bøjlegrene vil være positioneret og styret af styresporene i huset, som vil befinde sig ved soens ryg. Der er således ikke behov for, at en person skal ned under dyret eller ned ved soens sider for at sikre, at bøjlegrenene er placeret korrekt.In addition, a single mechanism is set which is manually adjusted by the handle so that the shackle branches are placed in the desired mutual position according to the arrangement of the device on the sow. The braces will be positioned and guided by the guide grooves in the housing, which will be at the back of the sow. Thus, there is no need for a person to descend under the animal or down the sides of the sow to ensure that the hanger branches are placed correctly.

Ifølge en udførelsesform for opfindelsen er indretningen særpræget ved, at aktive-ringsmidlemes håndgreb er integreret med et betjeningshåndtag for påsætning og ijer-nelse af indretningen på et dyr. Herved opnås en særlig enkel indretning, der tillige er let at betjene. Brugeren kan med en hånd holde indretningen i betjeningshåndtaget og påsætte den på dyret og derefter aktivere håndgrebet for at sikre en korrekt indbyrdes placering af bøjlegrenene. Betjeningshåndtaget og håndgrebet vil fortrinsvis være forbundet direkte med huset eller kan udgøre en del af huset.According to one embodiment of the invention, the device is characterized in that the handles of the activating means are integrated with an operating handle for attaching and balancing the device to an animal. This provides a particularly simple device which is also easy to operate. The user can with one hand hold the device in the control handle and apply it to the animal and then activate the handle to ensure the correct mutual positioning of the hanger branches. Preferably, the operating handle and handle will be directly connected to the housing or may form part of the housing.

Bevægelsen af bøjlegrenene kan valgfrit være en indbyrdes svingning eller indbyrdes forskydning. Det kan også være en kombination af disse to bevægelser. Derfor er indretningen ifølge en yderligere udførelsesform for opfindelsen særpræget ved, at forbindelsesorganets aktiveringsmidler er indrettet for etablering af en indbyrdes forskydning af bøjlegrenene.The movement of the hanger branches may optionally be a mutual oscillation or displacement. It can also be a combination of these two movements. Therefore, the device according to a further embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the actuating means of the connecting means are arranged for establishing a mutual displacement of the bracket branches.

Alternativt er indretningen ifølge en yderligere udførelsesform særpræget ved, at forbindelsesorganets aktiveringsmidler er indrettet for etablering af en indbyrdes svingning af bøjlegrenene. Således kan styresporene i huset være indrettet med en retlinet lukket form med et tværsnit svarende til bøjlegrenenes tværsnit, og som tillader bøjlegrenenes retlinede forskydning gennem sporene. Såfremt sporene er krumme i ste- a DK 177269 B1 4 det for retlinede, vil der kunne opnås en kombination af svingning og forskydning.Alternatively, the device according to a further embodiment is characterized in that the actuating means of the connecting means are arranged for establishing a mutual oscillation of the bracket branches. Thus, the guide grooves in the housing may be arranged in a rectilinear closed form having a cross-section corresponding to the cross-section of the hoop branches, which permits the rectilinear displacement of the hoop branches through the grooves. If the grooves are curved in size too straight, a combination of oscillation and displacement can be obtained.

Alternativt kan styresporene være udformet som åbne spor, der tillader bøjlegrenenes svingning gennem sporet.Alternatively, the guide grooves may be designed as open grooves that allow the hoop branches to swing through the groove.

Ifølge en yderligere udførelsesform for opfindelsen er indretningen særpræget ved, at forbindelsesorganets aktiveringsmidler omfatter skraldemekanisme med en fortanding på håndgrebet, der samvirker med fortandinger på bøjlegrenene, der føres gennem husets styrespor. En sådan skraldemekanisme kendes for eksempel fra såkaldte hur-tigspændere. Fortandingen er typisk dannet med asymmetriske tænder, som tillader spænding i en retning, og som frigøres ved at forskyde de to fortandinger ud af indgreb.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the device is characterized in that the actuating means of the connecting means comprise ratchet mechanism with a toothed tooth handle which cooperates with toothed teeth on the hanger branches which pass through the guiding tracks of the housing. Such a rubbing mechanism is known, for example, from so-called quick-release tensioner. Typically, the tooth is formed with asymmetric teeth which allow tension in one direction and which are released by displacing the two teeth from engagement.

Ifølge en yderligere udførelsesform for opfindelsen er indretningen særpræget ved, at aktiveringsmidlemes håndgreb er indrettet med et fingergreb, der ved sammenklemning forskyder de to bøjlegrene mod hinanden, samt en udløserknap, som udløser forbindelsen mellem de to fortandinger for en forskydning af de to bøjlegrene væk ifa hinanden. Fingergrebet kan være fjederbelastet, således at det efter sammenklemning returnerer til udgangsposition for en ny sammenklemning til aktivering af skraldemekanismen, som fører bøjlegrenene i retning mod hinanden. Udløserknappen vil sikre, at de to fortandinger forskydes og bringes ud af indgreb, således at bøjlegrenene kan forskydes væk fra hinanden.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the device is characterized in that the handles of the activating means are arranged with a finger grip which, by squeezing, displaces the two shackles against each other, and a release button which activates the connection between the two teeth for a displacement of the two shackles away from each other. each other. The finger grip may be spring loaded so that, after clamping, it returns to the starting position of a new clamp for activating the ratchet mechanism, which guides the bracket branches towards each other. The release button will ensure that the two teeth are displaced and disengaged so that the bracket branches can be moved away from each other.

Ifølge en yderligere udførelsesform for opfindelsen er indretningen særpræget ved, at aktiveringsmidlemes håndgreb er indrettet med et fingergreb, der ved rotation forskyder de to bøjlegrene mod eller væk fra hinanden. Herved opnås en meget enkel konstruktion, hvor håndgrebet ved rotation i en retning forskyder bøjlegrenene mod hinanden og ved rotation i modsat retning forskyder bøjlegrenene væk fra hinanden.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the device is characterized in that the handles of the activating means are arranged with a finger grip which, by rotation, displaces the two shackles towards or away from each other. Hereby a very simple construction is obtained, whereby the handle, when rotating in one direction, displaces the shackle branches against each other and by rotation in the opposite direction the shaft branches move away from each other.

Denne udformning er tillige meget driftssikker, da der ikke her behøver at være skraldemekanismer eller fjedermekanismer i indretningen. Det roterbare håndgreb skal blot have en friktion, som sikrer, at bøjlegrenene ikke kan forskydes som følge af det tryk, der udøves mod soens sider.This design is also very reliable as there need not be ratchet or spring mechanisms in the device here. The rotatable handle should only have a friction which ensures that the brace branches cannot be displaced due to the pressure exerted on the sides of the sow.

Detaljeret beskrivelse af opfindelsenDetailed description of the invention

Opfindelsen er beskrevet ud fra principskitser, som viser forskellige udførelsesformer.The invention is described from the principle sketches, which show various embodiments.

For at være funktionsduelige vil de konkrete udførelsesformer omfatte flere elementer end vist i tegningen. Imidlertid vil sådanne elementer være inden for fagmandens mulighed i lyset af den forklaring, som gives til opfindelsens udførelsesformer.In order to be functional, the concrete embodiments will comprise more elements than shown in the drawing. However, such elements will be within the skill of the skilled artisan in light of the explanation given to the embodiments of the invention.

I tegningens forskellige figurer er identiske eller tilsvarende elementer betegnet med samme henvisningsbetegnelser.In the various figures of the drawing, identical or similar elements are designated by the same reference numerals.

I fig. 1 og 2 ses en indretning 1, der er beregnet til kunstig inseminering af en so 2.In FIG. 1 and 2, a device 1 intended for artificial insemination of a sow 2 is seen.

Indretningen har en holder 3, som er beregnet til at fastholde en sædbeholder 4. Holderen 3 er fastgjort til et langstrakt støtteorgan 5, som forløber hen over soens ryg 6 til en position 7 bag ved soen.The device has a holder 3 which is intended to hold a semen container 4. The holder 3 is attached to an elongated support member 5 extending over the back of the sow 6 to a position 7 behind the sow.

Indretningen 1 omfatter endvidere et U-formet bøjleorgan 8. Som det tydeligst ses i fig. 1 består bøjleorganet af to elastiske bøjlegrene 9, som er forbundet med støtteorganets basisdel 10. De to elastiske bøjlegrene 9 er indbyrdes forbundet via et forbindelsesorgan 11, hvortil også støtteorganet er forbundet. Forbindelsesorganet 11 har a 6 DK 177269 B1 aktiveringsmidler (ikke vist i fig. 1 og 2), og disse aktiveringsmidler muliggør en indbyrdes bevægelighed af de to elastiske bøjlegrene 9 i et plan på tværs af det langstrakte støtteorgan 5. Således vil de to elastiske bøjlegrene 9 kunne bevæges i retning mod og væk fra soen 2’s sider. Bøjlegrenene 9 er elastiske, så de kan klemmes ned om soens sider.The device 1 further comprises a U-shaped hoop member 8. As is most clearly seen in FIG. 1, the bracket means consists of two elastic brackets 9 which are connected to the base part of the support member 10. The two elastic brackets 9 are interconnected via a connecting means 11 to which the support means is also connected. The connecting member 11 has a 6 activating means (not shown in Figures 1 and 2), and these activating means allow for the mutual movement of the two elastic brackets 9 in a plane across the elongate support member 5. Thus, the two elastic brackets 9 could be moved towards and away from the sides of the sow 2. The hoop branches 9 are elastic so that they can be clamped down the sides of the sow.

Holderen 3 er vist skematisk. Almindeligvis vil den være anbragt i en skrå vinkel i forhold til det langstrakte støtteorgan 5 og være anbragt så højt, at holderen 3 kan indeholde en sædbeholder 4, som har sin nederste del 12 anbragt i en position over soens kønsåbning 13. Sædbeholderen 4 er forbundet med et insemineringsrør 14, der indføres i soens kønsåbning under insemineringen.The holder 3 is shown schematically. Generally, it will be disposed at an oblique angle to the elongate support member 5 and be positioned so high that the holder 3 may contain a sperm container 4 which has its lower portion 12 positioned above the sex opening of the sperm 13. The sperm container 4 is connected with an insemination tube 14 which is inserted into the sex opening of the sow during the insemination.

Sædbeholderen 4 kan være en tube, der er placeret i en rørformet holder, en pose, der er ophængt i en krog på støtteorganet 5 eller andre mulige former for sædbeholdere.The sperm container 4 may be a tube placed in a tubular holder, a bag suspended in a hook on the support member 5, or other possible sperm containers.

I fig. 1 og 2 ses, at forbindelsesorganet 11 omfatter et hus 17. De to øvre dele 16 af bøjlegrenene 9 vil være forbundet med huset på en måde, så bøjlegrenene 9’s bevægelse styres af spor i huset 17. Dette vil fremgå nærmere af den efterfølgende forklaring af konkrete udførelsesformer.In FIG. 1 and 2, it is seen that the connecting member 11 comprises a housing 17. The two upper portions 16 of the hanger branches 9 will be connected to the housing in such a way that the movement of the hanger branches 9 is controlled by tracks in the housing 17. This will become clearer in the following explanation of concrete embodiments.

Ved kunstig inseminering anbringes det U-formede bøjleorgan 8, som vist i fig. 1, på soen. Nedre dele 15 af de to bøjlegrene 9 vil stimulere soen på samme måde som forbenene på en orne. Øvre dele 16 af de to bøjlegrene 9 vil påvirke soen som bugen på en ome. Soen vil derved stå roligt med krum ryg, indtil sæden er løbet ud af sædbeholderen 4.In artificial insemination, the U-shaped bracket 8, as shown in FIG. 1, on the sow. Lower portions 15 of the two hoop branches 9 will stimulate the sow in the same way as the forelegs of a boar. Upper portion 16 of the two hoop branches 9 will affect the sow as the belly of an ome. The sow will thereby remain calm with a curved back until the semen has run out of the sperm container 4.

Fig. 3 viser en første udførelsesform for indretningen ifølge opfindelsen. Det ses, at huset 17 er forsynet med gennemgående åbninger, der fungerer som spor, hvor bøjlegrenene 9’s øvre dele 16 er ført igennem.FIG. 3 shows a first embodiment of the device according to the invention. It will be seen that the housing 17 is provided with through openings which act as grooves through which the upper parts 16 of the hanger branches 9 are passed through.

Endvidere ses det, at bøjlegrenene 9 er forsynet med en fortanding 18. Denne fortan-ding arbejder sammen med en fortanding inde i huset 17 (ikke synlig) på en måde, som er bekendt fra skraldemekanismer eller såkaldte hurtigspændere.Furthermore, it is seen that the bracket branches 9 are provided with a tooth 18. This tooth works with a tooth inside the housing 17 (not visible) in a manner known from ratchet mechanisms or so-called quick-release tensioner.

Huset er forsynet med et håndgreb 19, der er beregnet til indstilling af bøjlegrenene 9’s stilling. Håndgrebet 19 er dannet som et integreret betjeningshåndtag for påsætning og Ijemelse af indretningen på soen. Brugeren vil således med sin hånd 20 gribe om håndgrebet 19, når dette skal placeres på soen.The housing is provided with a handle 19 intended for adjusting the position of the bracket branches 9. The handle 19 is formed as an integrated operating handle for attaching and removing the device on the sow. Thus, the user will grasp the handle 19 with his hand 20 when this is to be placed on the sow.

Håndgrebet har en fast del 21, der er fast forbundet med huset, og en bevægelig del 22, som gribes med brugerens fingre. Ved sammenklemning af grebets to dele 21,22 vil en skraldemekanisme forskyde de to bøjlegrene i retning mod hinanden. Bøjlegrenenes forskydning foregår retlinet, idet de to øvre dele 16 i den viste udførelsesform er retlinede, og sporene gennem huset 17 er ligeledes retlinede spor.The handle has a fixed portion 21 firmly connected to the housing and a movable portion 22 which is gripped by the user's fingers. By clamping the two parts 21,22 of the handle, a ratchet mechanism will displace the two hanger branches towards each other. The displacement of the hoop branches is rectilinear, the two upper portions 16 in the illustrated embodiment being rectilinear, and the grooves through the housing 17 being also rectilinear grooves.

Når de to bøjlegrene 9 skal frigøres og forskydes væk fra hinanden ved Ijemelse af indretningen, aktiveres en trykknap 23 på huset, således at fortandingeme på bøjlegrenene og fortandingeme i huset bringes ud af indgreb. Herved kan bøjlegrenene forskydes væk fra hinanden manuelt eller alene som følge af den elastiske trykkraft, som udøves fra soens sider.When the two hanger branches 9 are to be released and moved away from each other by the arrangement of the device, a pushbutton 23 is activated on the housing, so that the teeth on the hanger branches and the teeth in the housing are brought out of engagement. Hereby, the hoop branches can be displaced away from one another manually or solely due to the elastic compressive force exerted on the sides of the sow.

Som det fremgår af ovenstående, vil en kombination af håndgrebet og betjeningshåndtaget 19 gøre det muligt at anvende indretningen med enhåndsbetjening. Brugeren behøver således kun en hånd i håndgrebet 19 ved påsætning og efterfølgende fastspænding for etablering af den korrekte trykkraft i de to bøjlegrenes klemmende bevægelse mod soens sider. De to bøjlegrene 9 vil kunne placeres korrekt, da de er styret i sporene i huset 17.As can be seen from the above, a combination of the handle and the control handle 19 will make it possible to use the device with one-handed operation. Thus, the user only needs one hand in the handle 19 upon application and subsequent clamping to establish the correct compressive force in the clamping movement of the two shackles to the sides of the pad. The two hanger branches 9 will be able to be positioned correctly as they are guided in the grooves in the housing 17.

Fig. 4 viser en anden udførelsesform for indretningen ifølge opfindelsen. Her er forbindelsesorganet 17 udformet på anden måde. Det omfatter her et hus 24, der består af en nedre fast del 25 og en øvre håndgrebsdel 26. Håndgrebsdelen er forsynet med et bevægeligt greb 27, der aktiveres af fingrene ved en sammenklemningskraft. Bevægelsen overføres ligesom tidligere via en skraldemekanisme til bøj legrenene’s for-tandinger 18, som samvirker med en fortanding i husets nedre faste del 25. I husets nedre faste del 25 er der tillige dannet et spor, som styrer bøjlegrenenes bevægelse i retning mod og væk fra hinanden.FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the device according to the invention. Here, the connecting means 17 is formed differently. It comprises here a housing 24 consisting of a lower fixed portion 25 and an upper handle portion 26. The handle portion is provided with a movable grip 27 actuated by the fingers by a squeezing force. The movement is transmitted, as before, via a ratchet mechanism to bend the front teeth of the bearings 18, which cooperate with a tooth in the lower fixed part of the housing 25. A groove is also formed in the lower fixed part 25 of the housing which controls the movement of the hoop branches towards and away from each other.

a DK 177269 B1 8and DK 177269 B1 8

Som det ses, har den nedre faste del 25 en svag krumning. Dette betyder, at de to bøjlegrene foretager en bevægelse, som er en kombineret retlinet forskydning og en svingning. Alternativt kan den nedre faste del være retlinet og have et retlinet spor, således at de to bøjlegrene forskydes retlinet i retning mod og væk fra hinanden.As can be seen, the lower solid portion 25 has a slight curvature. This means that the two hoop branches make a movement which is a combined rectilinear displacement and a pivot. Alternatively, the lower fixed portion may be rectilinear and have a rectilinear groove such that the two hoop branches are displaced rectilinearly toward and away from each other.

Betjeningsgrebet 27 kan være direkte mekanisk forbundet med bøjlegrenenes fortan-ding 18 eller alternativt være forbundet via en elektrisk aktuator, som driver husets fortanding for etablering af bøjlegrenenes bevægelse.The control handle 27 may be directly mechanically connected to the bracket teeth 18 or alternatively be connected via an electric actuator which drives the housing tooth to establish the movement of the brackets.

Fig. 5 viser et partielt billede af en tredje udførelsesform. Her er vist et partielt billede af forbindelsesorganet 17. Der vises et håndgreb 28, som er forsynet med en aktiveringsknap 29, der kan forskydes i et spor 30. Ved forskydning af aktiveringsknappen 29 overføres en bevægelse til bøjlegrenene 9 for en forskydning imod hinanden eller væk fra hinanden afhængig af den retning, som aktiveringsknappen 29 forskydes.FIG. 5 shows a partial view of a third embodiment. Here is shown a partial view of the connector 17. A handle 28 is shown which is provided with an actuator button 29 which can be displaced in a groove 30. By displacement of the actuator button 29, a movement is transmitted to the bracket branches 9 for displacement against one another or away. apart depending on the direction in which the actuator button 29 is displaced.

I en særlig udformning kan aktiveringsknappen være forbundet med en aktuator, som elektrisk foretager forskydningen af husets fortanding i stedet for en direkte mekanisk forbindelse til bøjlegrenene 9’s fortanding.In a particular embodiment, the actuator button may be connected to an actuator which electrically displaces the tooth of the housing rather than a direct mechanical connection to the tooth of the shackle 9.

Fig. 6 viser en fjerde udførelsesform for en indretning ifølge opfindelsen. Her omfatter huset 17 et håndgreb 31, der kan roteres den ene eller den anden vej, således som indikeret ved en dobbeltpil. Ved drejning af håndgrebet 31 i én retning forskydes bøjlegrenene 9 mod hinanden, og ved rotation i modsat retning forskydes bøjlegrenene 9 væk fra hinanden.FIG. 6 shows a fourth embodiment of a device according to the invention. Here, the housing 17 comprises a handle 31 which can be rotated one way or the other, as indicated by a double arrow. By turning the handle 31 in one direction, the shackles 9 are displaced towards one another, and by rotation in the opposite direction, the shackles 9 are moved away from each other.

Fig. 7 viser et skematisk partielt billede af en detalje ved den i fig. 6 viste konstruktion. Det ses her, at håndgrebet 31 er forbundet med et tandhjul 32, der på sin periferi har en fortanding 33. Fortandingen 33 er i indgreb med fortandinger 34 på den øvre del 16 af bøjlegrenene 9. For overskuelighedens skyld er fortandingen 34 kun vist på en ydre krum del 35, der fungerer som et stop for en yderste position af de to bøjlegrene 9. En tilsvarende fortanding vil være tilvejebragt på en retlinet del 36 af bøjlegrenene 9.FIG. 7 is a schematic partial view of a detail of FIG. 6. It can be seen here that the handle 31 is connected to a sprocket 32 having a periphery 33. At its periphery, the toothing 33 engages with the toothing 34 on the upper part 16 of the brackets 9. For clarity, the toothing 34 is shown only on a outer curved portion 35, which acts as a stop for an outer position of the two hoop branches 9. A corresponding toothing will be provided on a rectilinear portion 36 of the hoop branches 9.

9 DK 177269 B1 I fig. 6 ses, at forbindelsesorganet 17 omfatter et hus 37, der er cirkulært, og som består af en øvre husdel 38 og en nedre husdel 39. Disse to husdele er forbundet med hinanden med forbindelsesorganer (ikke vist), som fastholder dem i en indbyrdes afstand, og som definerer styrespor for bøjlegrenene 9’s retlinede bevægelse i retning mod og væk fra hinanden. I den øvre husdel 39 er der tilvejebragt delcirkulære spor (ikke vist), som muliggør håndgrebet 31 's rotation den eller anden vej. Udstrækningen af disse spor vil bestemme den mulige rotationsvinkel for håndgrebet 31 og dermed vandringen for de to bøjlegrene 9.9 DK 177269 B1 In fig. 6, the connecting member 17 comprises a circular housing 37 which consists of an upper housing member 38 and a lower housing member 39. These two housing members are connected to each other by connecting means (not shown) which hold them at a mutual distance from each other. and defining guide grooves for the rectangular movement of the bracket branches 9 in the direction towards and away from each other. In the upper housing portion 39, subcircular grooves (not shown) are provided which enable the rotation of the handle 31 one way or the other. The extent of these grooves will determine the possible angle of rotation of the handle 31 and thus the migration of the two hanger branches 9.
