proximidad a su longitud intermedia, mas bien hacia abajo, presenta una articulación (5), que mediante un elemento elástico (6) en funciones de resorte, actúa como elemento de empuje del brazo tubular y basculante (4) para mantener una posición de apertura representada en la figura (1), para lo cual esa pieza elástica (6) es una pieza de goma con una patilla (7) que empuja precisamente al brazo tubular (4) hacia la posición de apertura, es decir de divergencia hacia arriba, para permitir la entrada en el espacio (2) de la cabeza proximity to its intermediate length, rather downwards, has an articulation (5), which by means of an elastic element (6) acting as a spring, acts as a pushing element of the tubular and tilting arm (4) to maintain an opening position shown in figure (1), for which the elastic piece (6) is a piece of rubber with a lug (7) that pushes precisely the tubular arm (4) towards the open position, that is to say divergence upwards, to allow entry into space (2) of the head

(3) del animal, de manera tal que esa pieza elástica o resorte (6), preferentemente de goma, evitará los ruidos que se producen entre el propio brazo tubular y basculante (4) yel tubo (8) respecto del cual va articulado, fijándose mediante una especie de abrazadera (9) cuyas ramas son pasantes a través de ventanas (10) establecidas al efecto en la propia pieza (6) representada en la figura 3. (3) of the animal, in such a way that said elastic piece or spring (6), preferably rubber, will avoid the noises that occur between the tubular and tilting arm (4) and the tube (8) with respect to which it is articulated, fixed by means of a kind of clamp (9) whose branches are through windows (10) established for this purpose in the piece (6) represented in figure 3.

Por consiguiente, según la posición mostrada en la figura 1, el animal pueden introducir su cabeza (3) en le espacio (2), en correspondencia con la parte superior, que es la de mayor amplitud, ya que el brazo tubular y basculante (4) esta en posición de apertura en forma divergente hacia arriba, todo ello de manera tal que cuando el animal intente comer en la parte inferior que es donde esta la comida o pienso, la cabeza (3) bajará, con lo que en el momento en que empuje el tramo inferior del brazo basculante (4), hará bascular a este en contra del empuje que ejerce la pieza elástica (6), concretamente su patilla (7), con lo que el espacio (2) tiende a reducirse en anchura, en correspondencia con la parte superior y a ensancharse en la parte inferior, para que la cabeza del animal quede perfectamente sujeta entre el barrote vertical de la estructura (1) y el brazo basculante (4), quedando este bloqueado en posición operativa por medio de unos balancines (10) montados de forma basculante sobre un soporte superior (11), y cuyo bloqueo se realiza entre los extremos arqueados de los balancines (10), de un vástago (12) previsto en un extremo en forma de horquilla en que finaliza el extremo superior del propio brazo basculante (4). Therefore, according to the position shown in figure 1, the animal can insert its head (3) into the space (2), in correspondence with the upper part, which is the one of greater amplitude, since the tubular and tilting arm ( 4) is in divergent upward opening position, all in such a way that when the animal tries to eat at the bottom that is where the food or feed is, the head (3) will lower, so at the moment in which push the lower section of the swing arm (4), will swing this against the thrust exerted by the elastic piece (6), specifically its pin (7), so that the space (2) tends to be reduced in width , in correspondence with the upper part and widening in the lower part, so that the head of the animal is perfectly held between the vertical bar of the structure (1) and the swinging arm (4), this being locked in operative position by means of some rockers (10) mounted in a ba sculating on an upper support (11), and whose locking is made between the arched ends of the rockers (10), of a rod (12) provided on a fork-like end where the upper end of the swingarm itself ends ( 4).

En definitiva, en base a los balancines (10) es posible bloquear el brazo tubular y basculante (4) en la posición operativa, reteniendo la cabeza (3) del animal en el espacio In short, based on the rocker arms (10) it is possible to lock the tubular and tilting arm (4) in the operative position, retaining the head (3) of the animal in the space

(2) para que pueda comer sin estorbar ni que sea estorbado por el animal que ocupa el espacio contiguo (2). (2) so that it can eat without disturbing or being hindered by the animal occupying the adjacent space (2).

Además, la incorporación del elemento elástico (6), en funciones de resorte, al estar constituido en goma o material similar, sin descartar ninguna otra materialización, garantiza In addition, the incorporation of the elastic element (6), in spring functions, to be made of rubber or similar material, without ruling out any other materialization, guarantees
