Abstract
383,331. Holding animals during slaughter. LOCKERBIE & WILKINSON (BIRMINGHAM), Ltd. and MORGAN, H. J., Alexandra Works, Tipton, Staffordshire. Aug. 21, 1931, No. 23536. [Class 81 (ii).] In a stunning and casting pen of the type comprising a receptacle for the animal closed at one end and having closure means such as a hinged bar or doors at the other, the receptacle having circular end rails resting on supporting rollers, the receptacle is held in a vertical position by a detent engaging behind a projection on one of the rails whereby, when the detent is held out of the path of the projection, the pen turns under the action of the weight of the animal until stopped in a position such that the animal falls out, or in an intermediate position. A receptacle A, closed at one end and having a hinged bar at the other, is of V-shaped crosssection and is mounted by means of cross members C<1> and brackets D in two metal hoops B<1> running on rollers f<1>. The receptacle is located to one side of the centre so that there is a tendency to tip. Tipping is prevented by a stop g on the rail B<1> encountering a detent H which is moved by a lever h into or out of its path. A spring plunger acts as a buffer. After slaughtering the animal, the detent H is moved out and the pen turns until stopped by the top frame member E engaging a stop M. The carcass slides out down a slope K. A second stop g<1> is provided so that the pen can be stopped in an intermediate position, when the animal lies horizontally and can be slaughtered by the Moslem or Jewish method. After ejecting the carcass, the pen is swung back and is stopped in a vertical position by a stop g<2> encountering one of the pulleys f<1>. Specification 361,180 is referred to. According to the Provisional Specification, a stop on the end rail acts in place of the member E to stop the pen in the ejection position. The stops may be provided on one or both end rails.
