Description

[Detailed description of the device] "Industrial application field" This device prevents the backflow of ingested food into the bronchus and the leakage of filth from the cutting edge of digestive organs, etc., when carcassing meat such as cattle, pigs and sheep. The present invention relates to a clip for animals used for such purposes.

“Conventional technology” Conventionally, when meat, such as cattle, pigs, and sheep, is slaughtered in slaughterhouses, the contamination of meat and workplaces by the leakage of ingested food into the bronchus and the digestive organs that are leaked during work is minimized. As a method to stop it, a method of tying the bronchus, digestive organs, etc. with a thread is adopted.

"Problems to be solved by the device" However, in the meat slaughtering work of cattle, pigs, sheep, etc., which requires swiftness, the use of the above method requires a high degree of habituation for the worker. However, there are various inconveniences such as the delay of work actually.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an animal clip that can quickly prevent leakage of filth from a cutting opening such as a bronchus or digestive organ.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The animal clip of the present invention rotatably connects the bottom plate and the upper plate at their fixed ends, and the inner surfaces of the bottom plate and the upper plate on the free end sides are mutually connected to each other. A pair of locking portions for locking and fixing are provided.

[Action] The animal clip of the present invention can quickly and easily occlude the bronchus by sandwiching the bronchus or esophagus between the bottom plate and the upper plate and locking the locking parts to each other. .

"Embodiment" FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an animal clip according to claim 1 of the present invention, in which reference numeral 1 is an animal clip. The animal clip 1 is generally composed of a bottom plate 2, a top plate 3 and a hinge portion 4, and is an integrally molded product made of plastic such as nylon or polyacetal.

The bottom plate 2 is a rectangular plate, one end of which in the longitudinal direction is thin and is connected to the hinge portion 4 as a fixed end.
Further, the other end of the bottom plate 2 is made thick and is a free end and also a finger rest 5. A projection 6 is formed on the finger rest 5 so as to project toward the inner surface thereof, and a wedge-shaped locking projection 7 is provided on the inner surface of the tip of the projection 6.

The upper plate 3 is a rectangular plate body like the bottom plate 2, and one end in the longitudinal direction thereof is thin and is connected to the hinge portion 4 as a fixed end. In addition, the other end of the upper plate 3 is made thick and is a free end, and at the same time, it is a finger rest part 8. Further, the finger rest 8 is provided with a locking hole 9 penetrating from the inner surface to the outer surface, and the locking hole 9 has the locking projection 7 of the bottom plate 2 in the opening on the outer surface side of the finger support 8. An engagement step (not shown) for locking is provided.

The hinge portion 4 is a bendable portion formed as a thin portion at the center of the rectangular plate body in the longitudinal direction, and rotatably connects the bottom plate 2 and the upper plate 3.

The closing operation of the animal clip 1 having the above-described configuration is performed by pressing the finger rests 5 and 8 inward to mutually engage the locking projection 7 of the bottom plate 2 and the locking step of the upper plate 3. Can be done easily and quickly.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a modified example of the animal clip 1 shown in FIG. 1, and the animal clip shown in FIG. 2 is different from the animal clip shown in FIG. Is a point in which a plurality of ridges 10, ..., 11, ... Which respectively project inward are formed on the inner surface of the upper plate 3 and the inner surface of the upper plate 3.

These protrusions 10, ..., 11, ... Are formed in parallel along the respective longitudinal directions of the bottom plate 2 and the upper plate 3, and the protrusions 10, ... of the bottom plate 2 and the protrusions of the inner surface of the upper plate 3 are formed. 11 and so on are formed so as to alternately mesh with each other.

In the animal clip shown in this example, for example, when the bronchus or the like is sandwiched, the ridges 10, ..., 11 bite into the bronchus or the like, so that the bronchus or the like is firmly closed and the positional deviation of the animal clip is prevented. be able to.

FIG. 3 is a view showing an embodiment of the clip for animals described in claim 2 of the present invention. Reference numeral 20 in FIG. 3 is a clip for animals. The animal clip 20 shown in FIG. 3 is the first.
The bottom plate 21 is different from the animal clip 1 shown in the figure.
The inner surface of the bulge bulges out in a semicircular shape, and the upper plate 22 is curved outwardly along the bulge. That is, the bottom plate 21 here has a substantially I-shaped cross section, the inner surface of the bottom plate 21 has a semicircular shape, and the outer surface has a flat shape, and one end thereof is connected to the hinge portion 23 as a fixed end, The end is the free end and the finger rest 24. A projection 25 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate 21 so as to project to the inner surface side of the finger rest 24, and a wedge-shaped locking projection 26 of the projection 25 is formed on the projection 25. Two pieces are projected on each side by changing the positions on the upper and lower sides.

The upper plate 22 is a plate body that is convexly curved outward along the semicircular inner surface of the bottom plate 21, one end of which is connected to the hinge portion 23 as a fixed end, and the other end is a free end and a finger rest. It is part 27. This finger rest 27 has a box-like appearance, and has a locking hole 28 opened on the inner surface side.
An engagement step portion 29 that engages with the engagement protrusion 26 of the bottom plate 21 is provided in the engagement hole 28.

In the animal clip of this example, the length of the outer surface of the bottom plate is the same as that of the animal clip shown in FIG. 1, but the inner surface of the bottom plate bulges out in a semicircular shape, so that the inner surface becomes longer. A bronchus or an esophagus having a diameter larger than that of the animal clip shown in FIG. 1 can be sandwiched.

FIG. 4 shows a first modification of the animal clip shown in FIG. 3, and the animal clip 20 shown in FIG. 4 is different from the animal clip 20 shown in FIG. Similar to the animal clip 1 in FIG. 2, a plurality of ridges 30, ..., 31, ... Are provided on the inner surface of each of the bottom plate 21 and the upper plate 22.

FIG. 5 shows a second modification of the animal clip 20 shown in FIG. 3. The difference between the animal clip 20 shown in FIG. 5 and the animal clip 20 shown in FIG. ,Bottom plate
The point is that 21 is formed in a semi-conical shape. That is, the bottom plate 21 here has a semi-conical shape formed by half-cutting a conical base along a plane passing through its axis, and the semi-conical slope 32 of the semi-conical shape serves as the inner surface of the bottom plate 21. ing. In addition, a semi-arcuate brim 33 is provided inwardly on the large-diameter base of the semi-cone-shaped portion. The upper plate 22 is also curved outwardly in a convex shape, and the radius of curvature thereof is formed to substantially match the radius of curvature of the brim 33 of the bottom plate 21. When 29 is locked to the protruding piece 26 of the bottom plate 21, the inner surface of the upper plate 21 is lightly contacted with the tip surface of the brim 33.

The animal clip of this example can be easily displaced to the side opposite to the side having the brim of the animal clip when attached to, for example, the bronchus or esophagus. Can push out contents such as bronchi and esophagus.

"Effects of the device" As described above, the animal clip of the present invention is used for cows, pigs,
When meat is slaughtered such as sheep, it can be suitably used for prevention of contamination by filth at a work site by being attached to organs such as bronchus and esophagus of animals.
