Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a shipping container for transporting large quantities of live pigeons, chickens and other birds alive.

“Prior Art” Conventionally, there are various means such as automobiles, freight vehicles, airplanes, and ships for transporting birds, and in all cases, bird cage type containers are used. This bird cage type container could not be made too large so that the stored birds would not be surprised and confused due to shaking or vibration during transportation, and that the birds could be easily cared for and managed. That is, in the case of transporting a large amount of birds, generally, a large number of small bird cages that can store a suitable number of birds and are portable and are loaded on various transportation means are provided. It was fixed with ropes and existing fasteners. However, with this conventional method, it is difficult to load the bird cages so that they will not be accidentally collapsed during transportation, and it is difficult to take care of the birds during cleaning and feeding during transportation.

"Problems to be solved by the invention" An example of frequently transporting large numbers of birds is the transportation of race pigeons that participate in pigeon races. In this case, not only is it necessary to transport a large number of pigeons at one time, but since the race is carried out after transporting to the start point, a good environment where the pigeon's condition does not collapse during transport, It is said that transportation should not damage, weaken or damage the pigeons. In other words, always keep the pigeons in good condition during transportation,
Good habitat needs to be maintained. In addition, since many racing pigeons are expensive, costing millions to tens of millions of yen, it is safe to transport them and prevent birds from escaping, being stolen, or being tampered with. There is also a request such as. Furthermore, there is a demand for a configuration that allows the simultaneous release of pigeons at the start of a pigeon race, using this container as it is.

Therefore, if a bird transportation container that satisfies all of the above requirements is realized, not only for racing pigeons,
As something that can be fully used for other bird transportation,
Is expected.

However, conventional racing pigeons are generally transported by preparing a large number of releasing pigeon cages for inserting 15 birds, and recently, in order to transport a large number of pigeons at one time,
It has been proposed to construct a large house-type bird cage and divide this inside into several bird transportation containers. However, even if it is possible to transport a relatively large number of pigeons at one time, each time a bird is taken in and out, a large bird cage and a small bird cage must be used to carry out replacement work. In addition, there is no function for adequate management during transportation and staying, and birds cannot be taken care of, such as cleaning, feeding, and watering.
There are drawbacks such as difficulty in preventing various illegal acts from the outside, and improvements have been desired.

The present invention solves the above technical problems and provides a bird transportation container that can be safely and reliably transported while caring for a large amount of birds, and that can also be used for pigeon racing.

"Means for Solving Problems" The present invention takes the following means in order to solve the above problems.

It has a middle passageway in the center and a container frame body in which a large number of small room frames are formed on both sides of the small room frame, and a basket box having a shape corresponding to the small room frame. In a bird transportation container in which a cage can be removably attached from inside the room frame or from the outside of the container frame, the container frame is formed on both left and right sides of the container frame. A plate lid opening / closing mechanism is configured by arranging an opening / closing control body for each stage of the small room frame of the body, and arranging a link type drive mechanism section for rotating the control body. A plurality of plate lids can be opened and closed by opening and closing the lid opening and closing mechanism.

[Operation] As described above, the first aspect of the present invention includes a container frame and a cage box.
It is made up of members, and both are characterized in that they can be detachably mounted. Therefore, when using this, first, the container frame is installed in an appropriate transportation means such as a truck, a freight car, or a ship and used. Next, take out only the cage from the container frame, take it to a desired place such as an aviary, put in an appropriate number of birds, collect multiple cages, and place it in the small room frame of the container frame. The bird transportation container is assembled and completed by arbitrarily installing it from the middle aisle side or the outside of the container frame. Then, move the transportation system on which the bird transportation container is placed or installed and move it to the desired remote location. At this time, by adjusting the number of cages to be mounted and the number and types of birds to be placed in the cages, the number and types of birds to be transported in the container can be adjusted. In other words, the container frame accommodates a large amount of transportation as a whole, while the small divided cages can be inserted and removed freely, ensuring the convenience of handling and meeting diverse transportation needs. It is something that can be dealt with.

In addition, since a middle passage is formed in the center of the container frame, care for birds during transportation, such as cleaning work, feeding, water supply work, cage and bird removal work, etc. You can do it. This is another feature of the present invention.

As described above, the second invention is a cage used for a bird transportation container.

In this cage, after taking it out of the container frame, you can open and close the open / close lid on the top of the cage and put the bird in and out, and take care of the birds stored in the cage. ,
When mounted on a small room frame, everything can be done from the middle aisle side of the container frame. For example, for feeding and water supply, it suffices to provide a feeding tool and a water feeding tool as necessary on the inner passage side of the basket-like body. Then the bird will have its head and neck out of the space between the vertical grids and will be free to eat or drink water.
In addition, most of the dirt such as droppings and feathers that fall on the bottom surface collect on the bottom plate under the mesh surface of the bottom surface, so pull out the outer bottom plate from the middle passage side, remove it, and then insert it again, You can easily clean without having to insert and remove the cage.

Furthermore, when it is attached to the small room frame, the outer surface of the cage, which is the outside of the container frame, is a plate lid that can be opened and closed outward about the pivot axis. , The stored birds can be released at once, and it can be used as it is for the release pigeon which is the start of the pigeon race.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the container frame body of the bird transportation container of the present invention is formed into a plurality of divided blocks which can be connected and assembled to each other, and the several blocks are connected and assembled to form the entire container frame body. May be formed. In this way, when mounting or installing on a transportation system such as a truck, freight car, or ship, the size of the transportation container and the quantitative transportation capacity of birds can be appropriately adjusted according to the size of the transportation system and the installation capacity. It can be adjusted, and by adjusting the number of cages that can be inserted into and removed from the container frame, it is possible to further finely classify and adjust the number of transportation flies.

[Examples] The present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated examples.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an embodiment of a bird transportation container according to the present invention, the basic configuration of which relates to a combination of two component members of a container frame 1 and a cage 2. .
