Description

The present invention relates to a device making it possible to wash and treat animals efficiently with very great savings in water, products and detergents.

These operations are carried out quickly and without fatigue.

The device according to the invention comprises a rather high rectangular bathtub (1) in order to avoid splashing water outwards.

In one side is an access door (3) for the passage of the animal.

This bathtub, which rests on a base (?), Is fixed to the latter by a closing system (12) very easy to use to allow easy assembly and disassembly, to make it very easy for maintenance operatives, cleaning, transport etc .....

The bathtub (1) and its support (2) are made of a plastic or polyester material, this in order to allow a very competitive molding and cost price.

This base (2) is molded so as to obtain two very distinct compartments, 1'Pn to contain water (4), the other for the pump (5)
In the compartment (5) is blocked a electric motor which actuates a water pump (9), A pipe (16) passing through the two compartments is responsible for bringing the water from the compartment (4) to the pump. 15) is provided at the inlet of this hose in order to remove water from any material that could damage the pump. The sucked water is put into Session by the pump, then sent Far a hose (7) plastic, flexible and reinforced; to a shower head (17). This pressurized water allows washing or treatment of the aniral. The pressure has the advantage of effectively penetrating the water through the hair to the skin.

The water or the treating product falling into the bathtub passes through a large filter (20) which can be easily removed for cleaning.

The water thus filtered falls back into the water reserve (4).

The water or the treating products circulated according to this principle tends to cool, hence the need to install a resistance (13) in the tank (4) in order to heat them. The temperature will be regulated by an adjustable termostat from outside the machine (10) and a temperature probe (22).

The tank (4) is filled for washing or treatment operations by hose (14).

the products to be mixed in the water are put directly in the bathtub at the level of the filter (20). The water arriving through the shower enclosure dilutes the product.

 When emptying the tank (4), the outlet of the pipe (7) is closed with the help of a valve (b) to circulate the water towards the drain pipe (6).

The water pump is switched on by an electric switch (11) placed on the front of the machine.

A removable tray for small animals (22) is provided to facilitate their washing or treat them at a good height. Two plates (19) are fixed to the plate by four hinges (21) allowing them to be folded down for its rapement. The tray and the two flaps are made of plastic or polyester.

Claims (5)

R E V E N D I C A T I O N S  1- Plastic or polyester enclosure allowing the cleaning or the treatment of anima x of different sizes, characterized in that in this invention, the animal is placed in the bathtub (1), thanks to a sliding door (3) then washed and treats with pressurized liquid.  2- Device according to claim 1 characterized by a bathtub (1) resting on its base (2) and fixed by a ferrr.eture system (12). In this base, two tanks are provided. A container (5) for the. stern, the other tank (4) for the liquid.  3- Device according to the invention characterized in that the water is brought to temperature thanks to a heating resitance (13) re-regulated by a probe (22) and a termostat (11).  4 - Device according to the invention characterized by a water pump (9) sucking water into the tank (4) through a pipe (16) passed through the two compartments and had at its end a filter (15), on the other hand, sending it under pressure either to the washing pipe (7), terminated by a shower head (17), or to the drain pipe (6) thanks to a valve (b). The tank (4) is filled by an inlet pipe (14). A filter (20) will be placed at the bottom of the bathtub. The pump is energized by a switch (10)  5-According to the invention a device for washing small ainmaux, characrtérisé by a plate amouille (22), suspended by two plates (19); by means of four hinges (21), is provided in order to facilitate the stain. These two plates (19) collapse on the plate (22) for its storage.
