Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de contention utiliséThe present invention relates to a restraining device used

dans le domaine de l'élevage pour contenir et/ou transporter des animaux. Dans le domaine de l'élevage on utilise des dispositifs de contention tels que des cages et des couloirs, éventuellement mobiles en étant montés sur roues, et qui sont destinés à permettre d'isoler et de maintenir, individuellement ou non, des animaux d'élevage, afin soit de les transporter, soit de réaliser sur ceux-ci des opérations, de traitement vétérinaire par exemple. Une telle contention permet de réaliser ces interventions plus facilement et avec moins de risques aussi bien pour l'homme que pour l'animal. De manière générale, tous les dispositifs de contention existants comprennent des parois latérales qui délimitent l'espace dédié aux animaux, et sont munis d'une porte, ou plusieurs selon la taille et la capacité du dispositif, qui peut être disposée en extrémité de ce dernier, mais qui de préférence est positionnée latéralement en sorte de permettre l'entrée des animaux tout en limitant la facilité de sortie.  in the field of breeding to contain and / or transport animals. In the field of animal husbandry, restraining devices are used, such as cages and corridors, which may be mobile when mounted on wheels, and which are intended to isolate and maintain, individually or otherwise, in order to transport them, or to carry out operations, veterinary treatment for example. Such restraint makes it possible to perform these procedures more easily and with less risk for both humans and animals. In general, all existing restraining devices comprise sidewalls which delimit the space dedicated to the animals, and are provided with a door, or several depending on the size and capacity of the device, which can be disposed at the end of this space. last, but which is preferably positioned laterally so as to allow the entry of animals while limiting the ease of exit.

L'entrée des animaux dans des dispositifs de contention est la plus délicate, car elle peut être traumatisante pour les animaux, du fait notamment du changement d'environnement. Aussi, il convient, autant que possible, que cette opération se déroule calmement afin d'éviter d'effrayer les animaux.  The entry of animals into restraints is the most delicate because it can be traumatic for animals, especially because of the change of environment. Also, it is advisable, as much as possible, that this operation proceeds calmly in order to avoid frightening the animals.

Malgré toutes les précautions prises, cette entrée des animaux demeure une opération à risque, et plus particulièrement lors de l'ouverture de la porte. En effet, lorsque l'animal arrive devant le dispositif de contention il est préférable que l'éleveur ne se trouve pas entre la porte et l'animal, d'une part pour des raisons de sécurité, et d'autre part pour ne pas effrayer l'animal. Pour éviter cela il convient d'ouvrir préalablement la porte, ce qui ne va pas forcément de soi, et qui de toutes façons pose un problème lorsque le dispositif de contention est prévu pour contenir plusieurs animaux, puisqu'il est nécessaire de refermer la porte après l'entrée de chaque animal.  Despite all the precautions taken, this entry of the animals remains a risky operation, and more particularly at the opening of the door. Indeed, when the animal arrives in front of the device of contention it is preferable that the breeder is not between the door and the animal, on the one hand for reasons of safety, and on the other hand not to scare the animal. To avoid this it is necessary to open the door beforehand, which is not necessarily self-evident, and which in any case poses a problem when the restraining device is intended to contain several animals, since it is necessary to close the door after the entry of each animal.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de contention qui permet de remédier aux divers inconvénients précités. Le dispositif de contention utilisé dans le domaine de l'élevage pour contenir et/ou transporter des animaux selon l'invention, est du type comprenant des parois latérales qui délimitent l'espace dédié aux animaux, et comprenant au moins une porte qui est mobile entre deux positions extrêmes à savoir fermée et ouverte, et il se caractérise essentiellement en ce que ladite porte est associée d'une part à des moyens élastiques permettant de la rappeler automatiquement en position ouverte, d'autre part à des moyens de verrouillage permettant de la maintenir en position fermée, et d'autre part encore des moyens de commande aptes à rendre inactifs, à distance, lesdits moyens de verrouillage. Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif de contention selon l'invention, les moyens élastiques consistent en au moins un ressort. Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif de contention selon l'invention, les moyens élastiques consistent en au moins un ressort de torsion positionné coaxialement à l'axe de pivotement de la porte. Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif de contention selon l'invention, les moyens de verrouillage consistent en des moyens magnétiques alimentés en énergie électrique via un interrupteur qui est commandé à distance. Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, les moyens de verrouillage consistent en au moins une ventouse magnétique.  The present invention aims to provide a contention device that overcomes the various aforementioned drawbacks. The restraining device used in the breeding field for containing and / or transporting animals according to the invention is of the type comprising side walls which delimit the space dedicated to the animals, and comprising at least one door which is movable. between two extreme positions namely closed and open, and it is essentially characterized in that said door is associated on the one hand with elastic means for automatically recalling it in the open position, on the other hand to locking means for maintain it in the closed position, and furthermore control means capable of rendering inactive, at a distance, said locking means. According to an additional feature of the restraining device according to the invention, the elastic means consist of at least one spring. According to another additional feature of the restraining device according to the invention, the elastic means consist of at least one torsion spring positioned coaxially with the pivot axis of the door. According to another additional feature of the restraint device according to the invention, the locking means consist of magnetic means supplied with electrical energy via a switch which is controlled remotely. According to another additional feature of the device according to the invention, the locking means consist of at least one magnetic suction cup.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques du dispositif selon l'invention, ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif. Dans le dessin annexé : - la figure 1 représente une vue schématique partielle avec écorché, d'une partie d'un dispositif de contention selon l'invention. - 1 es figure s 2a et 2b représente une vue schématique 5 partielle en plan du même dispositif de contention dans deux configurations différentes Sur la figure 1, on peut voir une partie d'une paroi 1 d'un dispositif de contention, laquelle paroi 1 est constituée d'un châssis mécano-soudé 10 qui présente une embrasure 11 destinée à 10 permettre le passage d'un animal, et qui est munie d'une porte 2 constituée d'un châssis 20. La paroi 1 peut être celle d'une cage de contention ou d'un couloir de contention, mobiles ou non. La porte 2 est montée pivotante sur la paroi 1 selon un axe 15 X, par l'intermédiaire de charnières, dont une seule est visible, qui en l'occurrence comprennent chacune un pivot 21 solidaire de la porte 2, tourillonnant dans un palier 12 solidaire de la paroi 1. Selon l'invention, la porte 2 est rappelée automatiquement 20 en fermeture au travers d'un moyen élastique 3, lequel consiste dans ce mode de réalisation en un ressort de torsion 30, enfilé sur le pivot 21, et dont les brins 31 et 32, sont solidaires, pour l'un, respectivement, du palier 11, et pour l'autre du châssis 20 de la porte 2. 25 Egalement selon l'invention, la paroi 1 est munie d'un moyen 4 de verrouillage de la porte 2 en position fermée, et susceptible d'être rendu inactif à distance. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le moyen 4 de verrouillage consiste en une ventouse magnétique 40, rendue solidaire du châssis 10 de la paroi 1 et 30 débordant dans l'embrasure 11, et contre laquelle peut venir s'appliquer le châssis 20 de la porte 2. La ventouse magnétique 40 est alimentée en énergie électrique, tandis que le moyen de verrouillage 4 comprend un interrupteur, non représenté, apte à stopper cette alimentation. 35 Selon l'invention, l'interrupteur est lié à un moyen récepteur 41 disposé sur le châssis 10, apte à recueillir un signal émis à distance par un moyen émetteur détenu par l'éleveur, en sorte de commander l'interrupteur et, à volonté, de rendre inactive la ventouse magnétique 40. La commande à distance peut être réalisée de différentes manières, par tous les moyens actuellement connus, par exemple, non limitativement, par émission haute fréquence ou infra rouge. En référence maintenant aux figures 2a et 2b, on peut voir les deux positons extrêmes que peut prendre la porte 2, à savoir fermée sur la figure 2a et ouverte sur la figure 2b.  The advantages and characteristics of the device according to the invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof. In the accompanying drawing: - Figure 1 shows a partial schematic view with cutaway of a portion of a restraining device according to the invention. FIGS. 2a and 2b show a schematic partial plan view of the same restraint device in two different configurations. FIG. 1 shows part of a wall 1 of a restraining device, which wall 1 consists of a mechanically welded frame 10 which has an embrasure 11 intended to allow the passage of an animal, and which is provided with a door 2 constituted by a frame 20. The wall 1 may be that of a cage of contention or a corridor of contention, mobile or not. The door 2 is pivotally mounted on the wall 1 along an axis X X, by means of hinges, only one of which is visible, which in this case each comprise a pivot 21 secured to the door 2, journalled in a bearing 12 secured to the wall 1. According to the invention, the door 2 is automatically biased back through an elastic means 3, which consists in this embodiment of a torsion spring 30, threaded onto the pivot 21, and of which the strands 31 and 32 are integral, for one, respectively, with the bearing 11, and for the other with the frame 20 of the door 2. Also according to the invention, the wall 1 is provided with a means 4 locking the door 2 in the closed position, and may be rendered inactive remotely. In this embodiment, the locking means 4 consists of a magnetic suction cup 40, secured to the frame 10 of the wall 1 and protruding into the recess 11, and against which the door frame 20 can be applied. 2. The magnetic suction cup 40 is supplied with electrical energy, while the locking means 4 comprises a switch, not shown, able to stop this supply. According to the invention, the switch is connected to a receiver means 41 arranged on the frame 10, able to collect a signal emitted remotely by a transmitter means held by the breeder, so as to control the switch and, at will, inactive the magnetic sucker 40. The remote control can be performed in different ways, by all currently known means, for example, not limited to, by high frequency or infrared emission. Referring now to Figures 2a and 2b, we can see the two extreme positions that can take the door 2, namely closed in Figure 2a and opened in Figure 2b.

En pratique, l'éleveur pousse un animal, ou plusieurs, vers le dispositif de contention, et lorsque l'animal est à bonne distance, il commande à distance l'inactivité du moyen 4 de verrouillage de la porte 2, laquelle, sous l'action du moyen élastique, provoque l'ouverture de la porte. Après que l'animal ait pénétré dans le dispositif de contention, l'éleveur peut repousser la porte 2 jusqu'à ce que les moyens 4 de verrouillage la maintiennent fermée. L'éleveur peut ainsi manoeuvrer la porte 2 au bon moment et sans s'intercaler entre celle-ci et l'animal, et par conséquent avec les meilleures garanties de sécurité pour l'éleveur, et sans risques d'effrayer l'animal.  In practice, the farmer pushes one or more animals towards the restraining device, and when the animal is at a good distance, it remotely controls the inactivity of the locking means 4 of the door 2, which, under action of the elastic means, causes the opening of the door. After the animal has entered the restraining device, the breeder can push the door 2 until the locking means 4 keep it closed. The breeder can thus maneuver the door 2 at the right time and without interposing between it and the animal, and therefore with the best guarantees of safety for the breeder, and without fear of frightening the animal.
