专利说明:

Insert plate for mounting of feeder placed on top of a fur cage.
The invention relates to an insert plate for use in fur animal cages, of the type in which both the bottom of the cage and an upper surface of the cage opposed to it are manufactured in wire mesh and where the feed during feeding is delivered on top of the cage, for capturing fodder which inadvertently falls through the meshes. in the wire mesh that forms the upper surface of the cages so that this feed does not fall out through the bottom wire mesh and thereby unnecessarily wastes.
Other devices are known to prevent feed being delivered to the wire mesh on the top of a mink cage from falling directly through the cage, thereby wasting.
From US Patent No. 3,527,554, for example, a device for insertion through the top or side belts of the wire mesh and suspended on transverse strands therein, this device intended to catch falling food which, when feeding, is placed on the top of the cage or to be a feeding plate for feed intended in this case. to fall through the top wire mesh.
However, it has been found that there are some disadvantages to this prior art in that the device only hangs from either the upper side and / or down a side wall and furthermore has only a limited spread into the cage and since it is not further attached to the cage and therefore can be manipulated by the animals with the risk that the feed will nevertheless be discharged further down through the cage's bottom as the animals eat or move around the cage, and if the feed, if not delivered directly above this device, will also fall by device and directly through the bottom and therefore no use either.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an insert plate for insertion into a fur animal cage for collecting fodder which is laid on the top of the cage and which falls through the wire mesh but which does not have the above disadvantages.
The object of the invention is met by providing an insert plate of the type set forth in the preamble of claim 1, which is characterized by comprising a rectangular plate located inside the cage on the top of the cage bottom directly below the area on the top of the cage where the feed is typically The insert plate has a horizontal extension which at least has an area corresponding to the extent of the area of the top of the cage the laid feed typically occupies when this is laid out. In this way, it becomes possible to place this insert plate at the bottom of the fur animal cage so that the plate covers the area on the bottom of the cage where there is the greatest risk that interfering feed will hit and therefore be able to capture most of this intervening food. At the same time, the holding of the plate on the bottom of the cage means that the plate is not inadvertently moved or emptied further down through the bottom, which means that a large part of the falling food can still be eaten and does not go to waste.
As claimed in claims 2, characterized in that these means for holding the insert plate comprise finger-like projections for insertion into the meshes of the bottom wire mesh and in claim 3 characterized in that the means for holding the insert plate comprise bent edges on two opposite sides of the insert plate, where the distance between these folded sides is of a length corresponding to the length of a whole number of meshes in the wire mesh forming the bottom of the cage, the folds are formed with a number of projections separated by several notches with a mutual distance corresponding to the width of the same net masks.
This results in the insert plate being fixed without being able to swing or slide in relation to the wire mesh. Other suitable embodiments of the invention are set forth in claims 4 to 8.
The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of an insert according to the invention;
FIG. 2 shows the same insert plate seen from below, while
FIG. 3 shows the use of the insert plate according to the invention inserted in the wire mesh at the bottom of a cage, while
FIG. 4 shows an alternative design of the insert plate seen from below, while FIG. 5 and 6 show fur animal cage with details about entrance to nest box where insert insert can be used while
FIG. 7 shows the back plate with entrance to the nest box and the bottom of the fur animal cage seen from above, where there is also shown a "reading louse" attached to the entrance to the nest box. In FIG. 1 and 2, an insert plate (1) is shown for use in fur animal cages (4), where at least the top and bottom (8) of the cage (4) are made in wire mesh. For example, in the case of mink feeding, it is common to feed the animals in such a cage by placing the feed on the top of the cage (4) from which the animal then eats this.
The insert plate (1) according to the invention, in the preferred embodiment shown, as shown in Figs. 1.2 and 3, is rectangular and has two opposite folded edges which, as shown in Figs. 1.2 and 3, are formed as a number of fingers (3) separated by notches (IO), these fingers (3) are intended for insertion into the meshes of the wire mesh at the bottom (8) of the cage (4), therefore these fingers also have a width corresponding to the width of the rectangular meshes shown in the wire type shown here in the wire mesh forming the bottom (8) of the cage (4), the notches (10) being of a width capable of accommodating a wire of the thickness used for the wire mesh, referred to as curved edges have a spacing corresponding to the length of a plurality of mesh meshes on the long joint of the rectangular mesh meshes shown in the wire type shown here forming the bottom (8) of the cage (4) so that the insert plate ( l), by inserting into the mesh masks of said fingers, can be inserted into the bottom (8) wire mesh and maintained here, as shown in Fig. 3.
Sizes of fingers and notches (1), as well as the distance between the bends, will naturally have to be adapted to other mesh sizes and thicknesses in other designs of the insert plate (1) and for use with other types of wire mesh, for example with square meshes.
The insert plate (1) according to the invention is also not limited to a particular location on the bottom (8) of the cage (4), e.g. as shown in FIG. 3, but will be able to be placed anywhere on the wire mesh on the bottom (8) of the cage (4) and of course may also have other configurations than those shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, as long as this configuration permits holding of the insert plate (1). ) in the wire mesh at the bottom (8), see Fig. 4, where only a few "fingers" are shown for insertion into the mesh masks, this design will, due to the bend (2) shown in Fig. 4, have a slightly sloping surface which will cause the accumulation of dropped feed residues to be reduced as these accumulation will tend to slip beyond the edge of the insert plate.
Figures 3, 5, 6 and 7 show examples of fur animal cages, with some details in which insert plates according to the invention are intended to be used. Eg. As can be seen clearly in FIG. 3 shows that the insert plate (1) is adjacent to the back plate (7) and a side wall next to the entrance (6) to the nest box (5). Figure 7 shows, from above, a "reading louse" (9) which is a winter measure to prevent unnecessary pulling in the nest box. The insert plate (l) of this invention can of course also be used with such a "reading louse" (9).
The invention further comprises means for removing / inserting the insert plate (1) into the cage (4). include one or more "holes" in the plate (1) for accommodating a suitable tool, such as forceps, so that the plate can be easily inserted / removed from the cage (4).
