Abstract

In the cages according to the invention, each longitudinal wall 5 of the stationary part comprises an oblique side 6 between its side adjacent to the rear part of the ceiling 2 and its side adjacent to the front wall 4. The moving part 8 is flat and rectangular. It is, from the lowered position to the raised position, between the longitudinal walls 5 of the stationary part, without extending upwards beyond the oblique sides 6. The moving parts 8 thus bear only on the back of the poultry, and cannot injure them.

Description

La présente invention concerne des perfectionnements et additions aux cages de gavage de volailles disposées en batterie qui ont été décrites et revendiquées dans la demande de brevet français NC 83 19888 déposée le 9 décembre 1983 au nom des présents demandeurs. The present invention relates to improvements and additions to the battery-fed poultry feeding cages which have been described and claimed in French patent application NC 83 19888 filed on December 9, 1983 in the name of the present applicants.

Les cages décrites dans cette demande comportent chacune une. The cages described in this application each have one.

partie fixe constituant le fond, les parois verticales et la partie arrière du plafond, et une partie constituant le reste du plafond, de forme générale rectangulaire, de largeur légèrement inférieure à la largeur de la partie fixe, avec dans sa partie médiane une ouverture, et mobile autour d'un axe horizontal placé juste au-dessus du bord supérieur avant de la partie fixe. Ladite partie mobile est abaissée sur le dos de la volaille et l'immobilise dans la cage pour le gavage, puis elle est relevée légèrement pour laisser une possibilité de mouvement limitée aux volailles le reste du temps. Les cages sont disposées en rangées sur un bâti et une commande permet de manoeuvrer ensemble toutes les parties mobiles d'une rangée montées solidaires d'un même axe de pivotement au moyen de clavettes.On libère individuellement les parties mobiles en rotation sur l'axe de pivotement en retirant les clavettes, pour charger et décharger les cages.fixed part constituting the bottom, the vertical walls and the rear part of the ceiling, and a part constituting the rest of the ceiling, of generally rectangular shape, of width slightly less than the width of the fixed part, with in its middle part an opening, and movable around a horizontal axis placed just above the upper front edge of the fixed part. Said movable part is lowered on the back of the poultry and immobilizes it in the cage for the force-feeding, then it is raised slightly to leave a possibility of movement limited to the poultry the rest of the time. The cages are arranged in rows on a frame and a command makes it possible to maneuver together all the moving parts of a row mounted integral with the same pivot axis by means of keys. The moving parts are rotated individually on the axis pivoting by removing the keys, to load and unload the cages.

Dans les cages décrites dans la demande susmentionnée, les parois longitudinales de la partie fixe ont un profil en L. la base est plus grande que la hauteur et le montant du L représente l'arrière de la cage. La partie mobile comporte, sur chacun de ses grands côtés, un retour vertical rentrant dans la partie fixe de la cage et dirigé vers le bas. In the cages described in the aforementioned application, the longitudinal walls of the fixed part have a profile in L. the base is larger than the height and the amount of L represents the rear of the cage. The mobile part comprises, on each of its long sides, a vertical return returning to the fixed part of the cage and directed downwards.

A l'usage, il est arrivé quelquefois que ces retours blessaient les volailles quand on abaissait les parties mobiles et un objet de la présente invention consiste à remédier à cet inconvénient. In use, it sometimes happened that these returns injured the poultry when the moving parts were lowered and an object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback.

Cet objet est atteint en prévoyant des parties mobiles planes sans retours verticaux. Il faut alors que les côtés latéraux des parties mobiles soient à l'intérieur des parois longitudinales de la partie fixe sur la totalité de leur déplacement de la position abaissée à la position relevée. Sinon, le passage en position relevée ouvrirait, sur les côtés, des espaces par lesquels les volailles pourraient déployer leurs ailes qui seraient cassées quand les parties mobiles seraient à nouveau abaissées.  This object is achieved by providing flat moving parts without vertical returns. It is then necessary that the lateral sides of the mobile parts are inside the longitudinal walls of the fixed part over their entire displacement from the lowered position to the raised position. Otherwise, the passage to the raised position would open, on the sides, spaces through which the poultry could spread their wings which would be broken when the moving parts were lowered again.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, chacune des parois longitudinales de la partie fixe des cages comporte un côté oblique entre son côté adjacent à la partie arrière du plafond et son côté avant,et la partie mobile est, de la position abaissée à la position relevée, entre lesdites parois longitudinales, sans dépasser vers le haut lesdits côtés obliques. According to a characteristic of the invention, each of the longitudinal walls of the fixed part of the cages has an oblique side between its side adjacent to the rear part of the ceiling and its front side, and the movable part is, from the lowered position to the position raised, between said longitudinal walls, without projecting upwards said oblique sides.

La caractéristique de l'invention mentionnée ci-dessus, ainsi que d'autres, apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, ladite description étant faite en relation avec les dessins joints, parmi lesquels:
la Fig 1 est une vue de profil d-'une cage selon l'invention, avec sa partie mobile en position abaissée, et
la Fig. 2 est une vue de profil de la cage de la Fig. 1 avec sa partie mobile en position relevée.
The characteristic of the invention mentioned above, as well as others, will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, said description being made in relation to the accompanying drawings, among which:
FIG. 1 is a side view of a cage according to the invention, with its movable part in the lowered position, and
Fig. 2 is a side view of the cage of FIG. 1 with its movable part in the raised position.

La cage des Figs. 1 et 2 comprend une partie fixe avec un fond 1, une partie arrière de plafond 2, une paroi arrière 3, une paroi avant 4 et deux parois longitudinales telles que 5. Les parois longitudinales 5 ont un côté oblique 6 entre leur côté adjacent au plafond 2 et leur côté adjacent à la paroi avant 4. Aux Figs. 1 et 2, seules quelques mailles du treillis des parois longitudinales 5 ont été représentées pour la clarté du dessin. The cage of Figs. 1 and 2 comprises a fixed part with a bottom 1, a rear ceiling part 2, a rear wall 3, a front wall 4 and two longitudinal walls such as 5. The longitudinal walls 5 have an oblique side 6 between their side adjacent to the ceiling 2 and their side adjacent to the front wall 4. In Figs. 1 and 2, only a few meshes of the lattice of the longitudinal walls 5 have been shown for clarity of the drawing.

Légèrement en avant de la paroi avant 4 et le long de son bord supérieur, se trouve un axe horizontal 7. Une partie plane et rectangulaire 8 est montée solidaire de l'axe 7 le long d'un de ses petits côtés. En pratique, l'avant de la partie 8 fait manchon autour de l'axe 7 et en est rendue solidaire au moyen d'une clavette amovible 9. La partie 8 pénètre entre les parois longitudinales 5 de ladite partie fixe de telle sorte que ses côtés latéraux soient très légèrement espacés des parois 5. Dans sa partie médiane, la partie mobile 8 comporte une échancrure longitudinale comme décrit dans la demande principale. Slightly in front of the front wall 4 and along its upper edge, there is a horizontal axis 7. A flat and rectangular part 8 is mounted integral with the axis 7 along one of its short sides. In practice, the front of the part 8 forms a sleeve around the axis 7 and is made integral with it by means of a removable key 9. The part 8 penetrates between the longitudinal walls 5 of said fixed part so that its lateral sides are very slightly spaced from the walls 5. In its middle part, the mobile part 8 has a longitudinal notch as described in the main application.

En manoeuvrant l'axe 7, on péut faire pivoter les parties 8 entre une position abaissée, Fig. 1, et une position relevée, Fig. 2 et, comme il apparaît, dans cette dernière position, les côtés latéraux de la partie mobile 8 sont encore en dessous des côtés obliques 6.  By operating the axis 7, it is possible to rotate the parts 8 between a lowered position, FIG. 1, and a raised position, FIG. 2 and, as it appears, in this latter position, the lateral sides of the movable part 8 are still below the oblique sides 6.

Ainsi, quand des volailles sont dans des cages selon l'invention, les parties 8, en s'abaissant, n'appuient que sur leur dos et ne peuvent les blesser. Thus, when poultry are in cages according to the invention, the parts 8, by lowering themselves, only support their backs and cannot injure them.

Il est à noter que selon le type de volailles, le débattement du cou est plus ou moins important et qu'il faut donc choisir les échancrures des parties mobiles 8 plus ou moins longues à partir du côté avant. Pour des oies, par exemple, les échancrures des parties 8 vont de leur côté avant à leur côté arrière.  It should be noted that depending on the type of poultry, the travel of the neck is more or less significant and that it is therefore necessary to choose the notches of the mobile parts 8 which are more or less long from the front side. For geese, for example, the notches of the parts 8 go from their front side to their rear side.
