The present invention relates to a breeding cage for monkeys bred for medical or drug experiments.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a monkey rearing cage, as shown in FIG.
01), the left side plate (102), the right side plate (103), the rear side plate (104), and the ceiling plate (105) are each formed in a plate shape, and the excrement and the like can be easily lowered to the rear of the breeding cage (106) body. The bottom plate is composed of a lattice-shaped saw (107) so that it can be drained, and a urine collection dish (10
8) is known. Front door (101) above
Has three hinges (109, 109, 109) that can be opened freely, and two upper and lower cannus locks (110, 110) are attached to the opposite side of the hinges (109, 109, 109). , Kannuki tablets (110, 110) on the receiver (111, 111) fixed to the breeding cage (106) body
Are configured to be lockable. Also, the front door (10
A feeding window (112) is fixed at a predetermined lower position of 1), and a dish-shaped feeder (113) is attached to the feeding window (112). The urine collection dish (108) is designed to be drawn out toward the user, and a urine collection hose (12) for taking out urine is provided in front of the urine collection dish (108).
0) is provided.

[0003] The water supply mechanism employed in the breeding cage (106) is configured as follows. That is, the front door (101)
A water main (114) is located above and beside the water supply mains (11).
4) extending the water supply pipe (116) to the individual breeding cage (106),
A water supply nozzle (117) from which water is released when the monkey's tongue touches the tip of the water supply pipe (116) is connected. Water nozzle
(117) is attached facing the water supply window (115) fixed above the front door (101). When measuring the amount of water that the monkey drank in the breeding cage (106), the water supply nozzle (117) was removed from the water supply window (115), and the water supply pipe (116) was retracted upward. Window (115) water bottle holding arm
Attach a water supply bottle (119) with another water supply nozzle (121) attached to (118) and measure the amount of water in the water bottle (119) that was initially placed and the amount of water remaining after the monkey drank. By measuring the difference, the amount of drinking water is measured.

On the other hand, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-31182, a breeding cage in which a sandwiching device is provided has been proposed. Here, the sandwiching device means that a lattice wall is provided so as to be movable back and forth in the accommodation space of the monkey in the rearing cage, the lattice wall is drawn toward the front door side, and the monkey is sandwiched between the front door and the lattice wall. Thus, the apparatus is capable of performing drug administration and other various experiments by restricting the pressure.

[0005]

However, the above conventional monkey breeding cage has many problems as described below. (A) The holding device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-31182 has a structure in which an operation tool for moving the lattice wall forward and backward is protruded through the front door. Will receive it. Since the front door is configured to be openable and closable with respect to the breeding cage main body, there is a problem that the operation of the operation tool causes the front door to shake or squeak, making it impossible to smoothly move the lattice wall forward and backward.

(B) In a breeding cage having a sandwiching device, a monkey is usually restrained between a front door and a lattice wall, and various experiments such as administration of a drug through the front door or the lattice of the lattice wall are performed. We do so, but there are some experimental operations that are difficult to do through the grid. For example, the spacing of the lattice of the front door is generally narrow, and the part of the body to which a medicine can be administered by a syringe or the like also changes depending on the state in which the monkey is restrained. In order to suppress the change in posture due to such restraint, the monkey in the breeding cage is captured, the monkey is taken out of the breeding cage, and the monkey is fixed on a base such as a monkey chair, and then the monkey's body is It is necessary to administer the drug from a predetermined site. However, the sandwiching device disclosed in JP-A-6-31182 has a configuration in which an operating tool for moving the lattice wall forward and backward is protruded through a front door, and a monkey is always restrained between the front door and the lattice wall. It is difficult to safely capture monkeys bound between the front door and the lattice wall and take them outside.

(C) In the configuration of the breeding cage (106) shown in FIG. 12, since the water supply window (115) of the water supply mechanism is located on the front door (101) side, the water supply window (115) is in the way and the movement of the monkey. But difficult to observe. Also, when opening the front door (101), it is necessary to remove the water supply pipe (116) from the front door (101) each time,
The work becomes complicated. Further, when measuring the amount of drinking water of the monkey, the water supply nozzle (11) attached to the tip of the water supply pipe (116) is used.
Since the water supply nozzle (121) attached to the water supply bottle (119) differs from the water supply nozzle (7), there is a problem in the case of a nervous monkey that it is difficult to accurately measure the normal amount of drinking water with caution. To solve this problem, it is conceivable to replace the water supply nozzle (117) attached to the water supply pipe (116) with the water supply bottle (119) as it is. Monkeys may be cautious due to such reasons. Also,
In the configuration where the water bottle (119) is attached to the front door (101),
The water bottle (119), which is not available during free drinking, appears suddenly on the front door (101) side, and in the case of a nervous monkey,
There is a risk that accurate measures of water consumption may not be possible with caution.

In the water supply mechanism shown in FIG. 12, since the amount of water spilled by the monkey at the time of drinking water is unknown, there is a problem that the amount of water actually consumed by the monkey cannot be accurately measured. If a large amount of water is spilled by the monkeys, the spills on the feeder (113) and the breeding of various germs is likely to occur, which is not preferable in terms of hygiene.
Furthermore, when a monkey is restrained by the pinch device and various drugs are administered, a water supply window (115) or a water supply pipe (116) of a water supply mechanism is used.
However, there is also a problem that the dispensing operation is difficult to perform.

(D) In the breeding cage (106), since the upper and lower two canker tablets (110, 110) can be unlocked one by one, the monkey learns the unlocking operation of a human and escapes. There is fear. In addition, since the front door (101) is restricted only by two upper and lower cannu locks (110, 110), the monkey cannot
If the body is shaken while being held by (101), the swing width of the front door (101) becomes large, so that a loud sound is likely to be generated, and the noise value becomes a problem in the animal breeding environment.

(E) In the breeding cage (106), since the dish-shaped feeder (113) is attached to the feed window (112), the monkey drops the feeder (113) by a prank. There is. It is possible to prevent the feeder (113) from being moved by the monkey's power by fixing devices such as bolts and nuts, but when cleaning the feeder (113),
Extra work to remove the fixture with a spanner or the like is necessary, and the work becomes complicated. In addition, since the food in the plate-shaped feeder (113) can be easily seen from the monkey, the monkey often grabs the food by hand and throws it out of the breeding cage (106) frequently, and grasps the accurate feeding amount Difficult. (F) In the breeding cage (106), the monkey puts out his hand from the lattice-shaped front door (101), pulls out the urine collection dish (108),
Unable to perform a mischief by pulling out the urine collection hose (120) and collecting urine correctly.

An object of the present invention is to provide a monkey breeding cage capable of solving the above-mentioned problems and efficiently raising monkeys in a comfortable environment for the purpose of raising monkeys. An example of a specific problem is as follows. (a) Completely prevent unlocking and escape from monkeys. (b) Facilitate observation of monkeys in breeding cages. (c) Precisely measure the food intake of monkeys. (d) Keeping the breeding cage in a sanitary condition,
And prevent transmission. (e) Make it possible to accurately measure the amount of drinking water of monkeys. (f) The monkey can be easily captured by the sandwiching device without applying extra stress to the monkey. (g) The monkey sandwiched between the pinch devices can be safely taken out. (h) To be able to safely capture monkeys alone.

[0056]

As described above, the present invention 1 has the following specific effects. (A) Since the operation tool protrudes outside through the breeding cage main body, the entire breeding cage receives the resistance accompanying the operation of the operation tool, and the moving wall can be moved smoothly. (B) Regardless of the opening and closing of the front door, the moving wall can be independently advanced and retracted in the breeding cage, and the mode of capturing monkeys can be diversified as compared with the conventional breeding cage.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the following specific effects are obtained. (C) Since the water supply device is not on the front door side, it is easy to observe the monkeys in the breeding cage, and various operations such as medication processing and capture processing are brought to the front door side of the monkey breeding cage using the sandwiching device. Since the water supply device is not on the front door side when performing the above, various kinds of processing can be easily performed. (D) Since the monkey can see the water supply device only through the monkey drinking water inlet and the drinking water opening, the range within the monkey's field of view can be set narrow, and the monkey does not need to be alerted during the drinking operation.

According to the third aspect of the invention, the following specific effects are obtained. (E) By simply installing the metering water supply unit and replacing the water supply pipe with the unit-side water supply pipe without changing the water supply device, it is possible to perform metered drinking of monkeys. I can do it. (F) The water nozzle of the water supply device that the monkey drinks is the same regardless of whether the monkey drinks freely or weighs water, so there is no change in shape or smell, so that the monkey does not need to be extra vigilant. In the same state, the amount of drinking water of the monkey can be measured.

The present invention 4 has the following specific effects. (G) The front door can be locked at three locations, up, down, and side, by using two types of latch locks, a vertical engagement latch lock and a lateral engagement latch lock. Therefore, generation of noise can be reduced. (H) In addition, since the vertical engagement type latch lock utilizes spring elasticity and is configured to be unlocked by gripping the grip portion, a monkey in the breeding cage grasps the grip portion and releases the vertical engagement type latch lock. It is difficult to unlock, and since a lateral latch lock is provided, it is extremely difficult for a monkey to escape by unlocking. Further, since the vertical engagement type latch lock can be unlocked simply by grasping the intermediate gripping portion, the opening / closing operation of the front door can be performed easily and smoothly as compared with a configuration in which three locks are individually performed. (I) Further, since the vertical engagement type latch lock is locked using the spring elasticity of the grip portion, it is always locked when the entire door is closed, and when the door is not locked, it is inserted upward and downward. Since the pins do not engage with the receiving members and the full door is in a half-open state, the presence or absence of locking can be easily confirmed from the state of the full door.

According to the fifth aspect of the invention, the following specific effects are obtained. (I) Since the monkey is held at two points above and below the feeder, it is impossible for the monkey to pull the feeder from the inside of the breeding cage and drop the feeder when trying to drop it. (J) Since the clip and the bottom wall engaging device can be disengaged upward, when the operator removes the feeder, it can be performed very easily by pulling the feeder upward, Workability can be improved.

According to the sixth invention, the following specific effects are obtained. (K) By utilizing the fact that the front door of the breeding cage is formed in a lattice shape, by providing a hook for a collar and a hook for a lattice in close proximity, the movement of the monkey is restrained by the collar portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the monkey, which is the most dangerous in the capture, from going to the worker's mouth and to safely capture the monkey. (L) By adopting the monkey trap of the present invention, it can be widely applied to a lattice-shaped front door generally used as a rearing cage. In addition, it is possible to capture monkeys alone if necessary. (M) In addition, by using the present invention 6 in common with the breeding cage provided with the sandwiching device of the present invention 1, the operation of capturing monkeys can be made more efficient.
