Abstract

The utility model relates to veterinary medicine, in this case, to devices for fixing cattle.

The nasal forceps consist of handles connected by an axis, which end in the short oval part with expansion of the branches, at the ends of the branches there are hemispherical thickenings with a diameter of 15 mm, on the long part of the handles at the ends there is a lock, and in the middle there is a stop screw. The long parts of the handles are made at right angles to the branches.

Nose forceps ensure operator safety when working with bulls. 1 ill.

Description

The utility model relates to veterinary medicine, in this case, devices for fixing cattle.

The functions of these forceps consist in quickly and safely squeezing the nasal septum for the animal and the operator, which leads to fixation of the animal, which, in order to avoid a sharp exacerbation of pain, takes a fixed position and allows the veterinarian to safely and conveniently carry out manipulations to correct his condition.

Abel's nasal forceps are known (see the Catalog of veterinary and zootechnical instruments, apparatus, instruments and equipment. - M .: Kolos, 1972. P. 21, Fig. 2-10, 2021) for fixing cattle, consisting of two handles, fastened by an axis. At the ends of the short sides of the arms (jaws) are rounded thickenings that are inserted into the nostrils of animals and after the nostrils are compressed by the operator’s hands, the animal is fixed on the long sides of the arms. The disadvantages are the need for the efforts of two hands and the work of two people, since there is no restriction and fixation of the efforts of the operator. It is also necessary to keep the forceps in a compressed state throughout the entire maintenance work of the animal.

Known nasal forceps (PM of Belarus (BY) No. 5239) for fixing cattle, consisting of two handles connected by an axis, which in the short oval part end with the extension of the jaw and equipped with nose stops made in the form of hemispherical thickenings with a diameter of 15 mm, and on the long part of the handles at the ends there is a latch, and in the middle of the thrust screw. The described nasal forceps are selected as a prototype.

A disadvantage of the known device is the non-observance of labor protection rules when handling bulls producers. The presence of the operator in front of the animal at a distance of 0.5 m is unacceptable, because in bulls with an evil temper, a defensive reflection occurs; it is capable of attacking a person.

The technical solution of the proposed utility model is the elimination of the design flaws of the known nasal forceps (prototype) - optimization of the position of the operator relative to the head of the animal by changing the shape of the arms.

The technical solution is achieved by the fact that after the axis connecting the handles, the long parts of the handles are made at right angles to the branch.

A utility model is illustrated in FIG. 1, which shows the proposed device, a top view.

The nasal forceps consist of handles 1, 2 connected by an axis 3, which end in a short oval part with extension of the jaw, at the ends of the jaw there are hemispherical thickenings 4 with a diameter of 15 mm, on the long part of the handles there is a retainer 6 at the ends, and a stop screw 5 in the middle. Long parts of the handles 1,2 are made at right angles to the branches.

With forceps work as follows. Before starting work, the clearance between hemispherical thickenings 4 for a specific animal, i.e. 1-2 mm. The operator takes the nasal forceps in both hands by the handles, opens the jaws to the width of the animal's nostril openings and brings it to the nostrils. During the period of sniffing the animal with nasal forceps, the operator quickly seizes the nasal septum and simultaneously squeezes it with the efforts of both hands until the animal calms down. At this moment, the latch 6 at the ends of the handles fixes their position, which allows them to move apart. It also allows forceps to be held in place with less effort. If the animal is disturbed, you can increase the pressure by pressing the handles and fix their new position on the other tooth of the fixative. This design, due to the shape of the handles, will optimally increase the distance between the operator and the animal, it will not allow the nose to be unnecessarily squeezed by squeezing the nostrils due to the restrictive stop screw 5 and the size of the bulges at the ends of the jaws, and the operator’s effort and the position of the handles will automatically be fixed from the divergence using the locking devices at the ends of the handles. The size and shape of the thickenings at the ends of the branches, based on the experience of fixation of animals, are optimal for squeezing the nostrils without damaging them, without difficulty in breathing the animal. This will generally increase the safety of the operator and the animal, facilitate the efforts of the operator and increase productivity when servicing animals. The advantage of the design is its simplicity, and the long parts of the handles, made at right angles to the branches, allow the operator to be at a safe distance (at least 0.5 m) from the side of the animal, which protects it from being hit by the front legs of the latter.
