Definitions
- the present invention relates to an animal tying device and an animal trailer provided with such a device.
- a tying bar in front of the animal is normally used. Such bars are used above all in animal trailers.
- the tying bar can be fixedly arranged, but is frequently vertically adjustable for adaptation to the height of the animal's withers.
- WO-9625303 also discloses an animal trailer which at its front end has a releasable tying bar which in this case is vertically adjustable for adaptation to the height of the transported animal's withers.
- the present invention intends to improve prior-art tying devices and animal trailers to further decrease the risks of tied animals and also the keepers being injured.
- a special object is to eliminate or, in any case, consi- derably reduce the risk of a tied animal being injured by jumping over the tying bar.
- the present invention is based on the knowledge that it is better to take measures to prevent the tied animals from jumping over the tying bar than to take measures to facilitate the release of the animals if they should have jumped over the bar.
- the tying device and the animal trailer according to the invention have been supplemented with one more bar, a so-called withers bar, which is arranged above the tying bar and is movable to a position just above the withers of an animal tied there- to, thereby decreasing the animal's possibility of jumping over the tying bar.
- a device which prevents the animal from jumping over the tying bar. Moreover, the animal is prevented from backing off or throwing itself backwards in unloading before the withers bar has been raised.
- the new tying device consti- tutes an important safety item and contributes to preventing animal and personal injuries and damage to materials .
- Fig. 1 is a rear view of parts of an animal trailer and a tying device according to the present invention
- Fig. 2 is a front view of a withers bar in a lower position, included in the trailer and the device, respectively,
- Fig. 3 illustrates the withers bar in a raised position
- Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view on a larger scale approximately along line IV- IV in Fig. 2
- Fig. 5 is a front view, partly in vertical section, of the tying device.
- Fig. 1 is a rear view of about half an animal trailer 10, the rear door 11 being open.
- the transport space of the trailer is in this case designed for the transport of two animals.
- a door 12 for the keeper to be able to tie a loaded animal to the tying bar 13 of the trailer.
- the tying bar can be pivotable and designed in prior-art manner, for instance, according to that disclosed in SE-C-502,166 or WO-9625303.
- a rear bar 14 which is pivotable to be put behind the animal to prevent it from backing off.
- This rear bar can be designed in different ways, for instance, according to that stated in US-A-4 , 355 , 594.
- this prior-art tying device and trailer have been supplemented with a withers bar 15, which is vertically displaceable along essentially vertical guide means 16.
- the guide means can advantageously be arranged about 0.7 behind the tying bar 13.
- the withers bar is lockable at different levels along the guide means.
- the withers bar has an upper crossbar 17 and a lower withers arch 18.
- the withers arch is advantageously upholstered with, for instance, a coating 19 made of cellular rubber.
- the withers arch 18 can advantageously be detachably mounted on the crossbar 17.
- these are formed with a longitudinal slot 20, through which an end portion of the crossbar extends to support runners 21 which roll on the inside of the guide means .
- one guide means 16 is bent to connect to the inner profile of the animal trailer.
- the crossbar 17 is telescopic and has a sleeve part 22 and a piston part 23. If it is considered necessary, the piston part 23 can be outwardly loaded by means of a spring assembly 24.
- a hoisting cable 25 which extends round a suitable number of deflection rollers 26 up to an operating handle 27 at the front end of the trailer. This operating handle can be guided in a schema- tically illustrated guide means 28 and lockable at different levels along the same.
- an expander locking device 29 For the locking of the withers bar 16 at different levels, use is made of an expander locking device 29 in the example shown.
- This device has an eccentric plate 30 which is rotatably mounted on the crossbar 17 of the withers bar.
- the eccentric plate 30 is triangular, and the hoisting cable 25 is fixed to one corner thereof.
- a locking bar 31 is pivotally attached to each of the other two corners and extends along the crossbar 17 and terminates in a locking pin 32.
- guide lugs 33 can be fixed to the crossbar 17.
