countless types of cages for animals as well as heating plates intended for innumerable applications, at least by the applicant, the existence of no cage for animals, or any other construction of similar application, which has technical characteristics and characteristics is unknown. Structural same or similar to those presented here claimed.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The cage, booth or similar construction for heated animals that the invention proposes is thus configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, the distinguishing details being conveniently set forth in the final claims that accompany the present description.

More specifically, what the invention proposes, as indicated above, is a construction for domestic animals that, consisting of a cage, a house or a similar one and consisting of a structure of material and variable shapes, for example metallic, glazed, plastic, with bars, with soffits, panels, etc., to house animals enclosed or not, both in the domestic and in the professional of veterinarians, it is distinguished by presenting, at least, a heated plate incorporated in the floor of the same, which is installed flush with the rest of the surface that makes up the floor, so that neither the plate nor its connection wiring protrudes thus preventing animals from biting or stretching it.

In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the heated plate is easily removable and comprises a plug to be able to connect it to a socket provided in the cage itself, which facilitates its removal and repositioning to be able to clean the cage with pressurized water, which is how they usually clean the cages of animals, as well as to be able to proceed with their replacement, repair or exchange if necessary.

Finally, it should be noted that, optionally, the on and off of the board can be controlled with a switch that is also incorporated in the cage itself.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, and according to the numbering adopted, it can be observed in them two non-limiting examples of the heated animal construction of the invention, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below.

Thus, as can be seen in said figures, the cage, booth or similar construction (1) in question, constituted by a parallelepiped structure of walls (2), floor (3) and, optionally, roof (4), of material and Variable form, which defines a closed space for animals, is distinguished by at least one heated plate (5) incorporated in the ground (3) of the same, installed flush with the surface that forms said soil (3) .

In addition, preferably, the heated plate (5) is easily removable and has a plug (6) that allows it to be connected to a complementary plug base (7) incorporated in the cage, house or construction (1), which facilitates its rapid

extraction and relocation or exchange.

Also preferably, the switching on and off of the heating plate (5) is controlled by a switch (8) that is also incorporated in the cage, house or construction (1), preferably at some external point of its structure.

Preferably, the cables (9) that go from the complementary plug base (7) where the plug (6) of the heated plate (5) is connected to the above switch (8) and to the plug (10) of connection to the net, are hidden within the structure of the cage, shed or construction (1), for example incorporated into a hollow profile (11) provided for this purpose in the walls (2) of the cage, shed or construction (1 ).

According to figures 1 and 2, a first example of the invention is observed, specifically a house (1) for domestic or private use, which is constituted by a structure of walls (2) constituted by PVC sheets coupled to metal profiles of stainless steel that, closed superiorly by a collapsible roof (4), surround a floor (3) formed by a stainless steel grid chassis in which the heating plate (5) fits flush.

In said example, where the walls (2) of PVC sheets intersperse two access openings (12), the floor (3) has a single heated plate (5) that incorporates, integrated therein, the switch (8) and the cable (9) with a plug (10) for its connection directly to the mains, specifically incorporated in a portion of stainless steel grid chassis directly coupled to one side of the heating plate itself (5), arranged so that the switch (8) and said pin (10) are exposed externally outside the cage once the plate is mounted.

Additionally, this option also provides for the incorporation of a rubber plate (13) to cover the heated plate (5) if so desired, for example for protection when not in use.

According to Figures 3 to 8, another embodiment of the invention is observed, in this case a box-type cage, designed more for professional veterinary use, which is constituted by a wall structure (2) comprising a combination of Glass panels, bars and PVC sheets coupled to stainless steel metal profiles that, contemplating the existence of access doors (14), surround a floor (3) formed by a chassis of plasticized bars, preferably removable, which fits a heated plate (5).

In this example, specifically, two heating plates (5) fit between the plasticized bars that constitute the floor (3) that are preferably removable to be able to clean them and are installed on a removable tray (15) for collecting excrement, having been provided on them the existence of some supports (16) to place feeders on them.

In any case, this option provides for the integration of the cables (9) that go from the complementary plugs (7) where the heated plate (5) is connected, located in a junction box under the floor (3) of the cage, up to the switch (8), which is preferably luminous and is located in the front wall (2), and that connect with the plug (10) to the network located at the top, housed and protected within a hollow profile (11) which runs along the side of the cage structure (1), as seen in Figures 6 to 9.

Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any person skilled in the art understands its scope and the advantages that derive from it, stating that, within its essentiality, it may be carried out in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection that is sought provided that it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle .
