The invention relates to the formation of a cow tail holder, in which the tail hair in a retracted elastic sleeve and connected to a suspension means protruding from the sleeve are, which can be hung in the holding cord provided with a predetermined breaking point, the sleeve and keep the hanger on the tail at all times.

As is well known, the cow's tail is used for reasons of cleanliness and to avoid disturbances, in particular during milking, held or suspended by a corresponding device. It is a prerequisite for a practical usability of the facilities used for this purpose that the Handling is simple and that the desired effect can be achieved without disadvantages for humans or animals is.

However, the cow's tail keepers known in this context meet these requirements insufficient and are therefore still in need of improvement in various relationships. That's the way it is disadvantageous in several of the known holders that they do not stay on the cow's tail, but rather must be attached and removed again and again. But also with regard to the training of the for fastening the holding means on the cow's tail serving known elastic sleeve and the same The parts connecting the sleeve to the suspension hook are still deficiencies that relate to the handling and the safety for humans and animals can be detrimental. This is e.g. B. in a known holding and hanging device the case in which to connect one in the Cow's tail braided metal eyelet with the hanging wire rope used with a snap hook will. This allows the eyelet to be attached and detached quickly, but - just like the Metal eyelet itself - a real risk of injury not only for the animal, but in particular also for the milker.

In contrast, according to the invention, the cord ring provided as a suspension means is in a connecting hook can be hung, over which an elastic locking sleeve is pushed, which is attached to the The connection point between the hook and the cord ring has a cutout in which the hook is positively locked clicks into place. In this training the connection between the cow's tail or the Cord ring and the suspension cord, the dangerous metal hook is covered by an elastic locking sleeve, which apart from a protection against Injuries also a very simple and therefore cow's tail holder

cheap connection is reached, which cannot be solved by itself.

In order to improve security against physical harm as well as against pollution acts another proposal of the invention, according to which a known per se, as elastic

at the intermediate link and at the same time serving as a predetermined breaking point elastic ring between the connecting hook and the tether leading upwards is arranged. In contrast to a known suspension device, according to the invention, the elastic The predetermined breaking point is deliberately attached to the lower end of the tether so that it can be torn off no regrinding of the tether is possible. In the known device is the predetermined breaking point arranged directly in the area of the horizontal suspension wire, so that in the event of tearing the long hanging cord remains on the cow's tail. Since here also the breaking point on the hanging wire If a sliding rubber ring is used, the suspension wire must be used to replace this ring must be removed each time, which is very cumbersome and causes unrest among the animals can.

Also due to the special design according to the invention of the ones used to hold the tail hairs Sleeve, the handling when pulling the tail hair into the sleeve is improved and less made more painful than is the case with the known sleeves. To this end, the invention proposes to provide the cylindrical sleeve with a cylindrical extension of smaller diameter, through which only the cord ring is led to the outside.

By this division of the sleeve into two interconnected cylindrical parts, of which the The upper diameter has a smaller diameter than the lower one, result in a continuous manner compared to the known ones cylindrical or conical sleeves essential

Advantages. First of all, the holding effect of the elastic cylinder is better than that of the cone because at in the latter, the forces acting in the solution sense are much greater than in the case of a cylindrical one Sleeve, especially if it is also taken into account that the cow's tail is constantly in motion. aside from that In the case of the cylindrical sleeve, drawing in the tail hair is easier and less for the animal painful, as there is even radial compression over the entire length of the sleeve and preserved. A sleeve designed in this way is therefore particularly well suited for being constantly on the cow's tail to stay. The cylindrical approach with the smaller diameter has the task of limit the drawing in of the tail hair so that the tuft of hair does not extend beyond the sleeve becomes and can pollute. Furthermore, due to the difference, the diameter arises a shoulder on the outside, which makes it much easier to hold on by hand when attaching the sleeve.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing. It shows

F i g. 1 a view of the sleeve for the tail hair,

F i g. 2 tools for pulling the tail hair into the sleeve,

F i g. 3 the individual links of the suspension up to the tether,

F i g. 4 shows a detail from FIG. 3,

F i g. 5 the complete cow tail holder attached to the cow.

The cord ring 1 is used to pull the tail hair into the plastic sleeve 2 and to connect it to the other links of the holding device. To pull in the tail hairs, a correspondingly thick bundle of tail hairs is first placed in the ring 1. After the plastic sleeve 2 has been pushed over the auxiliary hook 3, the latter is hooked onto the cord ring 1, whereupon the tail hairs are pulled into the sleeve 2 with a strong pull using the loop 4. As a result, the hair is clamped into the sleeve 2 approximately up to paragraph 2a, which with the cord ring 1 always remains on the cow's tail and is only replaced when it is damaged. The cord ring 1 then protrudes through the cylindrical upper extension 2 b, which has a smaller diameter than the lower one, to the outside.

The connection of the string ring 1 with the horizontally stretched over the cows, with metal rings 11 provided plastic rope 12 is carried out by a connecting hook 5 made of steel, which on the one hand in the cord ring 1 and, on the other hand, suspended in an elastic ring 8 serving as a predetermined breaking point is. The elastic ring 8 is then followed by the tether 9, which at its upper end a strong rubber ring 10 is connected, which is used to attach to the race 11.

The elastic rings 8 and 10 cause a certain cushioning of the cow's tail movements, with the ring 8 serves as a predetermined breaking point to protect against damage which z. B. then occur if the animal breaks loose or gets caught in the tether.

The connecting hook 5 is provided with a hose-like securing sleeve 6 made of elastic material provided, which pushed after hanging the hook in the cord ring 1 over the connection point and thereby prevents an unintentional loosening of the connection as well as a certain amount Offers protection against injuries, with the recess 7 protecting the sleeve against unintentional displacement fixed.

The cuddly tail holder according to the invention is characterized above all by simple handling and maximum security against injuries and damage, including soiling of the hanging cords is made impossible because the predetermined breaking point is at the lower end of the suspension cord is located. This also makes it impossible for the neighboring animals to fall on the broken suspensions kick or get caught in them.
