Description

The invention relates to the maintenance of invertebrate animals for laboratory and scientific research purposes, and more particularly to the maintenance of invertebrate animals characterized by cannibalism, including poisonous.

A device for keeping animals of various systematic groups, for example, worms, is known, consisting of two containers having an outlet from above and connected to each other so that they form a closed chamber Щ. The upper tank has a volumetric lid equipped with a window and a ventilation hole and equipped inside with an annular side with bent edges, which is a barrier to the crawl of worms from the terrarium.

However, such a terrarium cannot serve for keeping animals - kayanibals, since it does not provide for their separate keeping.

The closest to the effect achieved by the proposed is ust2 roystvo for keeping small animals in a strictly controlled conditions adapted to provide free access to the animal and at the same time isolating them from pollution ⁵ conductive environment and from contaminants which may appear from adjacent animals {iQ.

It includes cells for keeping animals that have access to air from the supply ventilation, where it goes ⁰ cleaned with a thin filter to prevent contamination with biologically harmful substances and with a given temperature. The device also includes devices for providing ¹⁵ air quality, reflective walls to avoid cross-contamination of air from neighboring animals. All cells with animals are easy to move.

However, this device is intended mainly for the study of animals in microbiological laboratories and to study the influence of various factors on their existence. Oyo is complex in design and does not provide a warning of cannibalism and adequate safety precautions when working with poisonous> animals. For the maintenance of most invertebrate animals, it is not necessary to stoke air purification and adjust temperature in a wide area.

The purpose of the invention is to ensure safety when working with poisonous animals.

To do this, in the proposed device, one of the walls of the chamber along the perimeter is provided with grooves for moving the doors in them, and the sliding cassettes are equipped with cattle clamps for animals, made in the form of U-shaped racks mounted on the sides of the cassettes with removable strips fixed to them using springs between which containers for animals are placed, and it is equipped with opaque curtains mounted on the side of the camera on which the doors are fixed, which are mesh.

In Fig "1 schematically shows the proposed device; in FIG. 2 cassette with a clamp.

The device is a chamber 1, divided into sections 2 by vertical partitions 3. Each section is equipped with sliding doors 4, tightened by a fine mesh net 5. On the doors are mounted movable curtains 6, which allow to regulate the light mode independently in each section. Inside each section there are retractable cassettes 7, in which containers 8 (glass, plastic glasses, etc.) are placed. The dimensions of the containers (height and diameter) are chosen so as to exclude the possibility of animals crawling out of them and ensure normal living conditions. Standard glass beakers are best suited for these purposes.

The cassette (see Fig. 2) consists of a rectangular base 9, along the edges of which we fasten two P ~ -shaped racks 10. On the racks put on removable clamping bars 11, which serve to fix the containers. The films are pasted over with shock-absorbing gaskets 12. Springs 1-3 located on the horizontal * parts of the U-shaped racks ensure reliable container fastening. At the bottom of the tanks, taking into account the biology of the object, they mark the corresponding soil (sand, turf, small stones, etc.),

This device is distinguished by the following advantages: simplicity of design, accessibility of materials and the possibility of manufacturing by forces of any experimental laboratory, the possibility of individual keeping of animals characterized by cannibalism; the ability to individually account for the reaction of each individual to changes in the parameters of the diet, temperature and water regimes, lighting, the periodicity of obtaining toxic secretions, etc .; providing free access to containers for observation, routine inspection, feeding, care, etc. safety of the service provided by a strong fixation of the containers in the cassette with the help of clamping strips; the possibility of placing in the cassette containers of various sizes and in various quantities, provided by the presence of removable clamping strips.

(54) DEVICE FOR THE CONTROLLING OF INFECTILE DIAGNOSIS POISONAL ANIMALS OF THEIR TREATMENT. It is difficult to construct and does not provide for the use of equipment and sufficient equipment without danger when working with dozens) animals. For the maintenance of most trouble-free animals, there is no need for fine purification of the air and regulating the temperature of the environment in the area. The purpose of the invention is to ensure safety when working with healthy animals. For this purpose, in the proposed arrangement, one of the chamber walls along the perimeter is provided with slots for moving in smx doors, and the pull-out cassettes are equipped with: with animal fasteners in the form of U-shaped saheek, mounted on the lateral side of the box with secured with tshkh by means of springs removable straps between which are placed the containers for animals, and it is opaque, and we curtains installed on the sides of the chamber on which the doors are fixed, which are made mesh, Fig. 1 cxe la jrno shows the proposed device; in fig. 2 cassette with locking device, the device is Ka viepy 1, divided into sections 2 vertical partitions 3. Each sec1 is equipped with sliding doors 4 tied with a finely meshed mesh S. Movable pieces pkk 6 are mounted on the doors, allowing you to adjust the mode independently. in each section Sliding cassettes 7 are located inside each section, in which containers 8 are placed (steel, plastic glasses, etc.). The dimensions of the tanks (height and diameter) are chosen so as to exclude the possibility of animals to crawl out of them and ensure normal conditions of their habitat. Standard glass beads are best suited for this purpose. The cassette (see Fig 2) consists of a rectangular base 9, along the edges of which we reinforce two U-shaped ki 10. Removable clamping strips 11, which serve for fixing the containers, are put on the racks. Films are wrapped around with shock-absorbing pads 12. The pins 13, located on the horizontal parts of the U-shaped racks, ensure reliable fastening of the containers.
