Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a parrot-stand perch for Psittacidae which can be attached to a stand shaft.
  • Parrots such as aras or cockatoos
  • a foot-chain located on a stand shaft.
  • Such stand perches commonly consist of a horizontally arranged walking-beam attached to a vertical stand shaft.
  • the foot-chain may be secured to this stand shaft in a variety of manners, by way of example the principle is known of first running. it through a ring guide while the other end can be adjustably fixed to the stand shaft at any height desired.
  • the food and drinking vessels are normally arranged on the walking-beam.
  • parrots particularly untrained ones, normally do not.
  • This invention therefore has for its object to provide a parrot-stand perch which is free from these disadvantages.
  • the present invention relates to a parrotstand perch for Psittacidae for attachment to a stand shaft, characterized by a horizontally arranged halfplate connected with a supporting upright for connection to the shaft, and a quarter-plate located in vertical position between the supporting upright and the halfplate as well as by a ring guide arranged on the supporting upright atthe height of the half-plate for the passage of a foot-chain by means of which the parrot may be chained, free from entanglement, to an adjustable space, the foot end of the chain passing through the ring guide while its other end can be adjustably attached to the stand shaft below the ring guide.
  • the drawing shows an embodiment of the parrotstand perch according to this invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views of the stand perch from above and from below respectively;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of the upper half-plate with walking-beam and ring guide
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the vertical plate with walking-beam, ring guide and supporting upright;
  • FIG. 5 is aside view of the food vessel
  • FIG. 6 is a view of the food vessel from below
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the food vessel from below;
  • FIG. 8 is a side view of another embodiment of the food vessel.
  • FIG. 9 is a view of the food vessel according to FIG.
  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the food vessel according to FIG. 8.
  • the parrot-stand perch will now be described in greater detail with reference to FIGS. 1 through 4.
  • the numeral 1 designates the round wooden beam.
  • This wooden beam is fastened to the horizontal half-plate 3 by means of screws 2 and may be removed and replaced by removal of the screws 2 e.g. when worn by the parrot.
  • All other components of the stand perch advantageously consist of a resistant material, preferably of stainless metal so as to provide a stable and durable device in view of the long life expectancy of a parrot (.100 years).
  • the half-plate 3 and the quarter-plate 4 arranged below it are interconnected by the rung 5 which is common to both.
  • Both plates 3, 4 are delimited by an annular component 31 and 41 respectively and a strut 32 and, respectively,-42.
  • Arranged between the annular components 31 and 41 respectively, and the struts 32 and 42 respectively are parallel rungs 33 and 43 respectively which are so spaced that the parrot cannot slip between them. All connecting points of the rungs, annular components and struts are welded in the case of a metal stand. At points 6 and 7 the plates are connected to the supporting upright 8 which in its turn is inserted in the stand shaft 9.
  • elongated ring guide 10 Arranged on the supporting upright 8 below point 6 is the elongated ring guide 10 for the passage of the foot-chain ll of which the lower end 'is attached to a ring 12 which can be adjusted on the stand shaft 9 by means of a screw lock.
  • An opening 13 in the horizontal half-plate serves for the attachment of the food vessels.
  • the present stand perch offers the parrot excellent opportunities of climbing about, both in the horizontal and vertical planes, without creating the danger of entangling the foot-chain since the parrot is forced always to return by the path it has come.
  • the chain passes between the strut 32 and the wooden beam land, through ring guide 10, to the ring 12 which is adjusted to such a height on the shaft as will give the parrot a maximum run to the ring 31 and, respectively,
  • the upper side of the half-plate on the one hand has no projecting components that might cause entanglement and, on the other, this type of attachment enables untamed birds to be fed without hazard.
  • the adjustable ring 12 may be slipped in the downward direction on the shaft to such an extent and then fixed so as to restrict the bird s range of action.
  • the food vessel consists of a frame 16 provided with two holes which can be inserted from above in the opening 13 in the horizontal half-plate 3 so as to fit snugly and be secured with the pivoted levers l7.
  • Arranged in both holes in the frame 16 are the lock angles 18 by means of which the bowls can be held over their projecting edges 19.
  • the bowls can be loosened by depressing the spring 20 in the directions of the arrow 21 and then removed by pullingin the direction of the arrow 22.
  • FIGS. 8 through 10 show a preferred additional embodiment of a food vessel 50 which can be inserted in the horizontal half-plate 3 from above and in the opening 13 provided for the purpose.
  • the numeral 51 designates the frame of which the two opposite edges 52, 53 are angularly bent to form grooves. With these'edges 52, 53 the frame 51 is suspended from the rungs 33 in the half-plate 3 at a sunken level so that projections from the upper face of the half-plate with which the chain might become entangled are eliminated.
  • the screws 54 enable the frame to be locked to the rungs.
  • the frame accommodates two food holes 55 underneath which the drinking and food bowls are removably attached. For the reasons precited it must be ensured that the hands will not come within the parrots reach in manipulating the bowls.
  • the drinking and food bowls 56, 57 are therefore preferably attachable and removable from the underside of the half-plate 3.
  • the bowls can be inserted and suspended with their edges 58 in the lock angles 55 disposed around the circumference.
  • the bowls In the direction 60-(FlG. 9) in which they are pulled out the bowls are held not by lock angles but by wire bows 61, 62.
  • the wire bows which are preferably formed of a stiff resilient material are attached to the holder 63 so that they can be turned and swivelled, and inserted in the frame eyelets 64.
  • the wire bows 61, 62 inserted are somewhat elongated and the tensioning force so set up ensures safe engagement ofthe bowl edges 58 in the lock angles 59. Removal of the bowls is effected by removing the wire bows 61, 62 from the frame eyelets 64 and subsequent tilting, as shown for bowl 57 in FIG. 8.
  • parrot stand perch described offers genuine advantages in that parrots may be kept without supervision and danger, and owing to the many facilities for climbing there exists every guarantee for a horizontally arranged means of plane shape provid- I ing the walking area for a parrot, said means having food containers releasably secured thereto;
  • adjustable chain attachment means movably securedto said stand shaft and secured to an opposite end of said chain from said one end for allowing adjustment in the length of said chain above said chain guide means so as to increase or decrease the available area for movement of a parrot to which said chain is secured.
