Description

Table for veterinary use.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a table of veterinary use for the placement of the animals to be examined and Treat by veterinary staff.

Background of the invention

In veterinary consultations the use is habitual of a table to arrange the animal to inspect or treat a height that is convenient for the veterinarian, which is it has next to said table in an upright position.

In certain cases the animals are very heavy and / or are in an unconscious state, with which to lift them up to the top of the table, which is fixed height requires a considerable effort.

In addition, in other situations in the same consultation are several doctors who work, using the same fixed height table, so when they present a considerable height difference, each one will find it more high or lower the surface of the table top envelope, and some may be more uncomfortable because the animal is too tall or too low to work.

Description of the invention

The table for veterinary use, object of this invention, presents some technical peculiarities destined to facilitate the work on the animal arranged on its surface top and table loading and unloading operations.

According to the invention, the table comprises an envelope upper, rigid, approximately flat and preferably in shape rectangular, arranged on support means, the which essentially comprise a coupling structure to the top envelope and legs articulated in a scissor with respect to a central axis, being an upper end of a first leg articulated in said structure and the upper end of a second leg coupled to a linear displacement electric motor, mounted longitudinally between the other end of the structure and an intermediate point, so that in an operational arrangement, the engine electric linear displacement, longitudinally move the associated upper end of the second leg with respect to the structure, varying the geometry of the scissors and therefore the height of the top envelope on the ground. To facilitate the movement of the legs, at least one of these legs presents in its lower end a few wheels sliding on the ground during the raising and lowering of the table top. He linear displacement electric motor drive is performed from a remote, which can be incorporated into the table or be independent, so that when you stop acting on that command the linear displacement electric motor stops and leaves the envelope at the desired height in a stable and immovable way.

With the movement of the scissors you can arrange the envelope or work surface of the table from a position lower very close to the ground, appropriate to the load of an animal on it, at a higher height, and ergonomically adequate to veterinarian according to your height or more comfortable to work.

In one embodiment the structure comprises two stringers joined by their ends to two coupling crossbars to the upper envelope and intermediate reinforcements, meeting the linear displacement electric motor coupled from a extreme crossbar to an intermediate reinforcement. This structure is carrier of the mechanical and electrical elements of the table, constituting the resistant element of the same on the scissors configured by the lower legs.

The lower scissor has a first leg configured in the form of an inverted "T", with a part lower transverse of sliding support on the ground by said wheels, while the opposite end of said leg is found articulated by an axis transverse to the structure higher. In turn, the second leg is also set to inverted "T" shape, with a lower cross section of non-sliding support on the ground and the opposite end is located coupled by an axis to the electric displacement motor linear.

With this table you gain in ergonomics of use and versatility of use, adapting to the physical constitution of the veterinarian user and to be able to dispose animals of different sizes on the upper surface.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows an elevation view of the table in an elevated working position.

- Figure 2 shows an elevation view of the table in a low position to load it with weight.

- Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the means of support of the table, configured by the structure with the linear displacement electric motor and the scissors formed by the legs.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced, the table for veterinary use comprises an envelope (1) superior, rigid, approximately flat and advantageously rectangular, arranged on top of a structure (2) in which find a linear displacement electric motor (3) and a scissors (4) formed by a pair of articulated legs (41, 42) with respect to a central axis (43), a first leg (41) being joined to the structure articulated by an upper end and the second leg (42) movable associated with the electric motor of linear displacement (3) at its upper end correspondent.

The structure (2) comprises two stringers (21) joined by its ends to two crossbars (22a, 22b) coupling to the upper envelope (1), and intermediate reinforcements (23a, 23b, 23c), finding the electric motor of linear displacement (3) coupled from a crossbar (22a) end to a first reinforcement (23a) intermediate. A second reinforcement (23b) is arranged by above the intermediate part of the electric displacement motor linear (3) for clamping, and a third intermediate reinforcement (23c) plane is arranged opposite to said electric motor of linear displacement (3), holding a transformer (31) of feeding.

The scissors (4) that with its deformation allow the elevation and descent of the top envelope (1), is made up of a first leg (41) configured in inverted "T" shape, with a lower transverse part (44) of sliding support on the ground by wheels (45), while the opposite end is is articulated by a transverse axis (46) to the upper structure, arranged next to a crossbar (22b). To its once the second leg (42) is also configured in the form of "T" inverted, with a lower cross section (47) of support non-sliding on the ground and the opposite end is located coupled by means of a shaft (48) to the electric displacement motor linear (3).

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
