Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is an animal restraint device, more specifically, it can be used for castration, injection, ear cutting, numbering, etc. of animals such as pigs, sheep, goats, etc.
This invention relates to an animal restraint device for easily, reliably, and safely holding and fixing the animal during various observations, surgeries, etc.

Conventionally, box-shaped and cage-shaped restraint devices have been put into practical use for this kind of animal, but both have the disadvantage that they do not hold and secure the animal sufficiently, and the animal tends to move easily. Because they are shaped like molds or cages, they have the drawback that the surrounding frame and lattice become obstacles, making various operations extremely inconvenient.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has conducted various studies in order to eliminate these conventional drawbacks, and has developed a book that uses a substantially Y-shaped support to restrain animals with a simple structure, yet safely and reliably. He devised an animal restraint device.

That is, the present invention is an animal restraint device characterized in that a substantially Y-shaped retention column is formed at one end of a straight shaft body, and an attachment member is formed at the other end of the straight shaft body.

The present invention will be described below with reference to drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a straight shaft body consisting of a straight bar, and its length is such that a distance suitable for human work is provided between the retaining support column 2 and the attachment member 7, which will be described later. is preferable, and usually a length of about 30 to 50 cm is sufficient to achieve the purpose.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a retaining column body formed at one end of the straight shaft body 1, which is constructed in a substantially Y-shape by two symmetrical columns 2a and 2b. The opening angle (α) of this retaining strut 2 is 25 to 50°, especially 30 to 50°.
40° gives good results. Further, the straight portion of this retention strut 2 may be configured such that the straight portions of the two struts 2a and 2b are in contact with each other, but it is approximately 2 to 10 cm, preferably approximately 3 cm in the case of an animal weighing less than 10 kg. For animals weighing 10 kg or more, it is more preferable to form a gap of 6 cm or more, since this will not cause pain to the animal during restraint. In this case, two pillars 2a, 2
At the base end of the straight part, b is the proper connecting and fixing member 3.
are connected and fixed so that a substantially Y-shape is maintained. The length of the two supports 2a and 2b is selected depending on the size of the animal to be restrained, but normally the straight part is about 10 to 15 cm, and the expanded part is 30 to 40 cm.
It is enough.

The holding support 2 may be formed horizontally at the end of the straight shaft body 1, but from the viewpoint of being able to hold the animal easily and reliably due to its own weight, and from the viewpoint of ease of operation, it should be set at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees.
It is advantageous to form it with an elevation angle (β) of preferably about 40°.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an auxiliary rubber belt for safely and reliably restraining the animal, which is attached to one support 2a, and has a fixing pin 5 at the other end corresponding to the pin stop 6 attached to the other support 2b. is attached.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a mounting member, which is formed at the other end of the straight shaft body 1. This mounting member 7
is for attaching and fixing the retainer of the present invention to various walls 18, fences, boards, etc., and although the specific structure is not limited, it is preferably a clamping type, such as an inverted T. A horizontal member 8 and a vertical member 9 are arranged in series in a letter shape, and a fixing rod 10 that projects laterally is arranged on the upper end of the vertical member 9, and a fixing frame 11 is screwed onto the fixing rod 10 and can be slid freely. It is easy to configure by attaching it to.

Although the animal restraint device of the present invention may be constructed as a whole inseparable, it is extremely advantageous for storage and handling to have a construction in which the straight shaft body 1, retention strut body 2, and attachment member 7 are separable. In this case, various configurations can be adopted as the separable configuration, but for example, the straight shaft body 1 is a hollow so-called pipe body, and the straight lower end of the retaining column body 2 and the vertical member 9 of the attachment member 7 are connected.
It is convenient to attach protrusions 12 and 14 to the lower end to fit into the hollow part of the straight shaft body 1, respectively. In this case, the straight shaft body 1 and the protrusions 12, 14 are square or round, and the corresponding pin holes 13,
It is particularly advantageous to form holes 15, 16, and 17 in a pinned configuration, since this completely prevents displacement. Further, the fitting protrusion of the mounting member 7 may be provided with an appropriate number of fitting protrusions 18 not only on the lower end of the vertical member 9 but also on its upper end, or with a slidable fitting protrusion. By forming the retainer, the attachment position of the retainer of the present invention can be freely adjusted.

Although the material for the retainer of the present invention does not matter, metal pipes give good results in terms of strength.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, by using the retainer of the present invention, the animal 19 can be held in a standing or inverted position by holding the waist or both sides of the animal between the approximately Y-shaped supports. Regardless of the situation, it can be held extremely easily, reliably, and safely.

Furthermore, unlike the conventional structure, the present invention has an extremely simple structure, so there are no members that would obstruct various operations such as surgery, so it provides extremely high work efficiency.
