Description

  The present invention relates to a hoof frame member for fixing a cow or the like when hoofing.

  When cutting hoofs of livestock such as cattle, the operator lifts the limbs so that the hoofs of the livestock are peeled upwards while holding the livestock so as not to move. During this hoofing work, the cows disliked and tried to move, so it was necessary for several workers to hold livestock or lift their limbs, and the workability was poor and heavy labor. On the other hand, a frame main body that forms a space in which a plurality of pillars can stand and a livestock can enter, and a holding portion that lifts and holds the livestock in the frame main body are provided. There has been proposed a hoof trimming frame member that can be held so that the front end faces downward (for example, Patent Document 1). Thereby, even if livestock dislikes, it cannot move and can perform hoof cutting work easily.

  However, the hoof frame member of Patent Document 1 has the following problems. First, since the livestock is entirely lifted and held, there is a problem that the work is troublesome and requires a plurality of workers. In addition, since the entire hoof frame member is large, it is difficult to move, and there is a problem that livestock must be moved one by one for hoofing. Furthermore, since the hoof frame member is large, there has been a problem in securing its installation location and storage location.

  Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a hoof cutting frame member that can be moved easily and can be carried out by one person alone.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the hoof frame member according to the present invention is composed of “two vertical beams facing and extending vertically, and the upper and lower ends of the two vertical beams connected to each other horizontally. A pair of frames each having two extending horizontal bars and the vertical bars on one side of the pair of frames are rotatably connected to support the pair of frames so that they can be opened and closed. A hinge member, a plurality of hanging portions that protrude upward from the horizontal rails on the upper side of the pair of frame bodies at a predetermined interval, and can be hooked with a rope, and are connected by the hinge members of the pair of frame bodies And a winder supported on one side and capable of winding a rope ”.

  Here, the “frame” may be composed of at least two vertical bars and two horizontal bars, and if necessary, reinforcing bars may be provided between the vertical bars or between the horizontal bars. You may prepare. Further, examples of the shape of the crosspieces of the frame include “straight-line”, “thing bent appropriately along a horizontal plane into a crank shape, an L shape, a zigzag shape,” and the like.

  Examples of the “hanging portion” include “having a hole through which the rope can be inserted”, “saddle-like”, “bar-like”, and the like.

  Furthermore, as the “winder”, any one that can wind up the rope may be used, and it is desirable to use one having a ratchet mechanism that prevents the wound rope from returning. Further, the winder may be detachably supported with respect to either of the pair of frames.

  The frame member for hoofing of the present invention, for example, when hoofing the hind limb of livestock such as cattle, is a hinge member that places the lower surface of the frame on the floor surface of the barn and connects the vertical bars on one side to each other Open the pair of frame bodies connected in the above, and fix the open vertical rail on the other side to the left and right fence-like stalls where the livestock is moored using ropes or the like. Thereby, it will be in the state where the rear part of livestock was located between a pair of frames. And, after hanging the rope attached to the winder on one end side on the hanging part provided on the upper side rail in the frame close to the hind limb on the side of hoof cutting, the other end is on the hind limb of livestock Install. When the rope is wound by the winder in this state, the hind limb of the livestock is lifted by the rope, and the hoof can be trimmed with respect to the hoof of the hind limb, so that the hoof cutting work can be performed.

  As described above, according to the hoof cutting frame member, it is possible to hold livestock such as cows with the stall and hoof cutting frame member, and lift the limbs of the livestock just by winding the rope with a winder. Therefore, even a single worker can easily perform hoof cutting work. In addition, since the hoof frame member can perform hoofing work with livestock moored in the stall, it is not necessary to move the livestock from the stall as in the prior art, improving the workability of hoofing work. be able to. Further, the hoof cutting frame member can perform hoof cutting work in a stall familiar with livestock, so that the livestock is less likely to be disliked, and the livestock is less likely to be violated, thereby improving the safety of the work.

  In addition, the hoof frame member has a simple structure in which a pair of open and close frame members are formed by two vertical bars and two horizontal bars, so that the weight of the hoof frame member can be reduced. Become. Therefore, it becomes possible to easily move the hoof frame member even by one person, and it is possible to easily move between a plurality of stalls.

  Furthermore, since this hoof frame member can increase or decrease the degree of opening of the pair of frames by the hinge member, it can be easily accommodated even if the stall installation interval is different, An easy-to-use hoof frame member can be obtained. Furthermore, since the present hoof frame member can open and close the pair of frames, it can be easily stored by closing the pair of frames.

  In addition, since the hoof frame member is provided with a plurality of hanging portions on the upper horizontal rail in the frame body, by hanging the rope on the hanging portion at a position suitable for the position of the limbs of the livestock, Can be lifted to an optimum state, and the hoof cutting work can be performed easily.

  The hoof cutting frame member according to the present invention may be characterized in that, in addition to the above-described configuration, “the wheel further attached to the lower part of the pair of the frame bodies connected by the hinge member” is provided. good.

  According to the present hoof frame member, the vertical beam on the other side opposite to the one side connected by the hinge member in the pair of frames is lifted obliquely so as to be separated from the floor surface of the barn etc. Since only the contact with the floor surface can be achieved, the hoof frame member can be easily moved by one person.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the hoof frame member according to the present invention may be configured such that “the pair of frames are bent symmetrically with respect to a line passing through the rotation center of the hinge member as viewed from above. It may also be characterized by

  By the way, when the horizontal crosspiece of the frame is linear, depending on the angle at which the pair of frames are opened to cut the hoof, the distance on one side that is the hinge member side becomes too narrow, There is a risk that livestock cannot be placed between the frames.

  In contrast, according to the present hoof frame member, the cross beams in the pair of frame bodies are bent symmetrically with respect to the line passing through the rotation center of the hinge member, and the horizontal beam is linear. Compared to the case where the pair of frames is opened, even if the angle at which the pair of frame bodies are opened is the same, the horizontal cross beams can be greatly separated from the hinge member toward the other side. It is possible to avoid that the interval of is too narrow. Therefore, this hoof cutting frame member can easily put livestock between a pair of frames even if the stall interval is narrow, and can perform hoofing of livestock with certainty.

  Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a hoof cutting frame member that is easy to move and that can be used by one person.

The pair of frame bodies 10 are connected so that the vertical bars 11 a on one side can be rotated by a hinge member 15.

  The two horizontal rails 12 in the frame body 10 are each formed of a round pipe member having a circular cross section. The two horizontal rails 12 are bent in directions different from each other on the one side on the hinge member 15 side and the other side opposite to the hinge member 15 as viewed from above. As shown in FIG. 2A, the pair of frame bodies 10 are hinge members 15 in a state where the cross rails 12 are bent symmetrically with respect to a line passing through the rotation center of the hinge member 15 as viewed from above. Are connected by Thereby, the cross rails 12 in the pair of frame bodies 10 are extended in directions away from the hinge members 15 on one side and then bent in directions of each other, and bent in directions away from each other on the other side. .

  In addition, the two horizontal rails 12 in the frame 10 use a round pipe material having a larger diameter than that of the lower horizontal rail 12 in the upper horizontal rail 12. Thereby, even if the load from the cow C acts on the upper horizontal rail 12 via the rope R (see FIG. 3) hung on the hanging portion 18 described later, the horizontal rail 12 is hardly bent and the cow C The limb L can be lifted well.

  As shown in FIG. 1 in an enlarged manner, the hinge member 15 includes a pair of flat mounting plates 15a and a plurality of cylindrical shapes provided alternately at predetermined intervals along opposite sides of each mounting plate 15a. And a shaft member 15c inserted through a plurality of bearing portions 15b arranged on the same axis. The hinge member 15 can connect the pair of frame bodies 10 so as to be rotatable (openable and closable) by attaching the pair of attachment plates 15 a to the vertical bars 11 a of the pair of frame bodies 10.

  Further, the hoof frame member 1 includes a pair of leg portions 16 that protrude horizontally from the lower ends of the two vertical bars 11 a connected by the hinge member 15 and two hinge members 15 connected to each other. A plurality of hooks 18 projecting upward at a predetermined interval from the wheel 17 attached to one lower part of the vertical beam 11a and the upper horizontal beam 12 in the pair of frame bodies 10 and on which the rope R can be hung. And a winder 20 that is removably supported on one side of the pair of frame bodies 10 connected by a hinge member 15 and can wind the rope R.

  The leg portion 16 is formed of an angle member having an L-shaped cross section, and is attached to the vertical beam 11a with the apex thereof facing up. As shown in the figure, the wheel 17 is attached to the vertical beam 11a via a stay. The hook portion 18 is formed in an inverted U shape and has a hole through which the rope R can be inserted. In the present embodiment, three hanging portions 18 are attached to one horizontal rail 12.

  The winder 20 is supported in a rotatable manner by the inverted L-shaped main body 21 that is detachably supported by the frame body 10, a bearing 22 that vertically penetrates the front end of the main body 21, and the bearing 22. And a rod-shaped shaft portion 23 extending vertically from the bearing portion 22, a bobbin 24 attached to the lower end of the shaft portion 23 around which the rope R is wound, and a rod-shaped handle extending from the upper end of the shaft portion 23 in the direction perpendicular to the axis And a ratchet mechanism (not shown) that is provided in the bearing portion 22 and that can restrict the rotational direction of the shaft portion to only one of them.

  The main body portion 26 of the winder 20 is formed of a square pipe material having an outer shape slightly smaller than the inner shape of the square pipe material forming the vertical beam 11a of the frame body 10. The main body portion 26 extends in the vertical direction, and a lower portion extends horizontally from the upper end of the pair of frames 10 into the vertical rail 11a, and from the upper end of the support portion 21a longer than the turning radius of the bobbin 24. The extended portion 21b, the flange portion 21c protruding in a plate shape from the entire circumference of the support portion 21a below the bobbin 24, and the rope provided at a position substantially the same height as the bobbin 24 in the support portion 21a. And an annular guide portion 21d through which R can be inserted.

  The bobbin 24 of the winder 20 includes a cylindrical bobbin main body 24a extending coaxially with the shaft portion 23, and a pair of flange portions 24b extending in a plate shape in a direction perpendicular to the axis from both ends of the bobbin main body 24a. I have. The pair of flange portions 24b of the bobbin 24 are formed in a substantially square shape when viewed from the axial direction.

  The winder 20 can be detachably supported on any frame body 10 by inserting the lower portion of the support portion 21 a in the main body portion 21 into the vertical beam 11 a of the frame body 20. The winder 20 can operate the handle portion 25 to rotate the bobbin 24, thereby winding the rope R around the bobbin 24 or feeding the rope R wound around the bobbin 24.

  The hoof trimming frame member 1 of the present embodiment is configured so that the lower surface of each vertical rail 11 and the lower surface of the leg portion 16 in the pair of frame bodies 10 abut against the floor surface W (see FIG. 3). W can be placed. Further, the hoof frame member 1 can open and close the pair of frame bodies 10 around the shaft member 15 c of the hinge member 15. Furthermore, the hoof frame member 1 can be in a state in which only the wheels 17 are in contact with the floor surface W by lifting the vertical rail 11b side of the pair of frame bodies 10.

  Then, the usage method of the frame member 1 for hoofing of this embodiment is demonstrated. First, the lower surface of the frame body 10 was placed on the floor surface W of the cowshed, and the pair of frame bodies 10 were opened around the hinge member 15, and as shown in FIG. Fix to the left and right fence-shaped stalls S using ropes or the like. At this time, the vertical beam 11 b can be firmly fixed to the stall S by bringing the two L-shaped sides of the vertical beam 11 b into contact with the stall S. And by fixing the vertical rail 11b to the stall S, the rear portion of the cow C is located between the pair of frames 10 in the hoof frame member 1.

  Next, the winder 20 is supported on the vertical beam 11a of the frame 10 on the side close to the limb L to be trimmed, of the pair of frames 10. Then, after attaching one end side of the rope R to the bobbin 24 of the winder 20, the other end side is passed through the guide portion 21 d of the main body portion 21. Further, the other end side of the rope R is inserted into the hanging portion 18 at an appropriate position provided on the upper horizontal rail 12 and is attached to the limb L of the cow C. In this state, when the handle R 25 of the winder 20 is rotated and the rope R is wound up, the limb L of the cow C is lifted by the rope R, and the hoof of the limb L can be trimmed, and the cutting is performed. Hoof work can be performed.

  Thus, according to the hoof trimming frame member 1 of the present embodiment, the cow C can be held by the stall S and the hoof trimming frame member 1 and only the rope R is wound by the winder 20. Since the limb L of the cow C can be lifted, even a single worker can easily perform the hoof cutting operation. Moreover, since the hoofing work can be performed while the cow C is moored in the stall S, it is not necessary to move the cow C from the stall S as in the conventional case, and the workability of the hoofing work can be improved. Further, since the hoof cutting work can be performed in the stall C that the cow C is used to, the cow C is less likely to be disliked, and the cow C is less likely to rampage, thereby improving the safety of the work.

  Moreover, since each of the pair of frame bodies 10 to be opened and closed has a simple configuration in which the two vertical bars 11 and the two horizontal bars 12 are formed, the weight of the hoof frame member 1 can be reduced. Further, since the vertical beam 11b of the pair of frames 10 lifts the horizontal beam 12 diagonally so as to be separated from the floor surface W, only the wheels 17 can be brought into contact with the floor surface, so The frame member 1 can be easily moved by one person and can be easily moved between the plurality of stalls S.

  Furthermore, since the opening degree of the pair of frame bodies 10 can be increased or decreased by the hinge member 15, it can be easily accommodated even if the installation interval of the stalls S is different, and the slashing operation is easy to use. The frame member 1 can be obtained. Furthermore, since a pair of frame 10 can be opened and closed, it can be made easy to store by closing a pair of frame 10.

  In addition, since the upper crosspiece 12 in the frame 10 is provided with a plurality of hanging portions 18, the limb of the cow C can be obtained by hanging the rope R on the hanging portion 18 at a position suitable for the position of the limb L of the cow C. L can be lifted to an optimum state, and the hoofing work can be easily performed. In this embodiment, since the rope R is inserted through the inverted U-shaped hook 18, the rope R does not come off from the hook 18 even if the cow C breaks down. Can be increased.

  Further, since the cross beams 12 on the vertical beam 11b side in the pair of frame bodies 10 are bent in directions away from each other, the cow C is moved from between the stalls S to the hinge member 15 side by the bent portion of the horizontal beam 12. Can be easily guided. Therefore, the cow C can be easily put between the pair of frame bodies 10, and the hoof cutting work for livestock such as the cow C can be performed reliably.

  The present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various improvements can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as described below. And design changes are possible.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the hook portion 18 has a hole through which the rope R can be inserted, but the hook portion 18 is not limited to this and may be a hook shape or a rod shape.
