The invention relates to a stand-up device consisting of a tie-in loop two flexible tension members and an actuating device with two opposite directions in the longitudinal direction approximately horizontally movable push rods through which the tension members can be anchored to the upper ends movable into a mutual spaced-apart position for releasing the animal and into a closed position in which one tension member crosses a longitudinal loop of the other tension member.

The tension members of a known Aufstallvorrichtung of the above type are over the entire Length area formed by chains, one of which to form the longitudinal loop in the upper area is designed as a double chain. Such a tie-in loop, formed only by chains, is guaranteed but only a firm hold of the animal when the chains are in the crossover position of the animal's neck clamp tightly. The constant pressure of the chain worries the animal, which is also very frequent the neck area spanned by the chains suffers skin injuries. Incidentally, offers the closed Tie-up loop gives the animal only an extremely limited freedom of movement.

Another known stand-up device has a tie-in loop with two flexible tension members on, which are connected to each other above the animal neck and below the latter in an open position are movable apart and in a closed position to each other. One above the animal's neck The yoke penetrated by the tension members at the ends rests on the animal's neck when the tie loop is closed on. Although the yoke is limited up and down along the tension members and therefore the Animal leaves a certain freedom of movement, it does not prevent the animal's neck from rubbing the tendons and the associated risk of skin injuries. Otherwise it was in the It has been proven in practice that a tie-down loop consisting entirely of flexible parts on the side Cannot hold animals securely.

It is also known a Aufstallvorrichtung with a neck frame, the lower part of which by a is formed by means of a flexible member anchored to an abutment rigid U-shaped bracket. Two frame struts are connected to its upward-pointing bracket arms, the upper one being free Hanging ends on an actuating device and by means of this to close the neck frame each other are approachable. Due to the articulated connection between the U-shaped bracket and the frame stand-up device

strive, the neck frame can be bent out of the frame plane, so that the animal can lie down and Sufficient freedom of movement is left to stand up. Moved when the animal's head turns the U-shaped bracket with itself, while the frame struts attached to the upper ends cross each other and thereby narrowing the frame opening such that the animal's neck is pinched. Through this the risk of skin injuries to the animal is not excluded even with this known housing device.

The invention is based on the object of a stabling device of the type mentioned at the beginning Reason to develop economically feasible measures so that on the one hand they have a firm hold of the animal and, on the other hand, sufficient freedom of movement for it without the risk of skin injuries guaranteed. This is achieved by the lower part of the tie loop through a known, rigid U-shaped one anchored to an abutment by means of a flexible member Bracket is formed with upwardly facing bracket arms, which are attached to the lower ends of the tension members are.

By the rigid lower part of the invention Aufstallvorrichtung using tie loop is prevented that this in the Closed position, in which the tension members cross each other above the animal's neck with tight tension, wraps tightly around the animal's neck. As a result, the animal has considerable freedom of movement under exclusion leave any risk of skin injuries. On the other hand, they ensure in the closed position of the tie-down loop, the tension members are taut and independent of head movements of the animal constantly the same size loop opening, so that the installation device according to the invention the Preference of a safe and for the animal because of the

low weight, comfortable connection with the advantage of great reliability connects against unintentional escape of the animal. The invention is therefore one since long-standing need in the field of animal housing taken into account.

It is an advantageous development of the Aufstallvorrichtung that at least one of the tension members is anchored adjustable along this on the associated push rod. This allows the expanse of the Tie loop can be adjusted to the respective circumference of the animal's neck in the simplest possible way.

It is also useful if the tension members at the point of intersection with one another, for example through a bracket, are connectable. The latter prevents the animal from moving its head the longitudinal loop of the other tension member expanded.

In a preferred embodiment of the device, the tension members are formed by ropes. These can be crossed with low frictional resistance in the longitudinal loop area, so that the Handling of the device is made much easier.

It is advantageous here if at least one of the tension members is formed by a double rope. At such a longitudinal loop can be provided without additional expense.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing, which shows

F i g. 1 is a schematic front view of a housing device with a closed tie-down loop, and

F i g. Figure 2 is a schematic front view of the device according to FIG. 1 with the tie loop open.

The stabling device has a tie loop 1 with two flexible tension members 2, 3, the upper ends of which can be anchored with push rods 4, 5, an actuating device BV, which can be moved approximately horizontally in opposite directions in the longitudinal direction. By means of the latter, the tension members 2, 3 can be moved from a closed position (FIG. 1) to release the animal into a spaced-apart position (FIG. 2). In the closed position, one tension member 3 crosses the other tension member 2 and penetrates a longitudinal loop la of the latter.

According to the invention, the lower part of the tie loop 1 is provided by a rigid U-shaped bracket la formed with upwardly facing bracket arms, which are attached to the lower ends of the tension members 2, 3 are. The back of the bracket is on a lower abutment 6 in the vicinity of the stable floor 7 or on this itself anchored by means of a flexible link, for example a chain 8.

It can be seen from FIG. 1 that the tension members 2, 3 crossing each other in the closed position and the U-bracket in connection with the flexible member 8 leave an animal neck H enclosed in the tie loop 1 a sufficiently large freedom of movement around the animal to enable unhindered lying down and standing up. On the other hand, the weight of the tie loop 1 is taken up by the push rods 4, 5, so that the animal is relieved of the tension when the loop is closed and is nevertheless safely enclosed between the arms of the bracket la and the crossing tension members 2, 3.

The tension members 2, 3 designed as ropes can also at least in the anchoring area with the Push rods 4, 5 can be formed by chains 9.

To form the longitudinal loop 2 a the other tension member 2 is constructed as a double wire along which a rod 10 displaceable and can be fixed. By the latter the length of the loop 2 can be changed in accordance with a the respective requirements.

The upper ends of the tension members 2, 3 can be anchored on the push rods 4, S by means of clamping jaws 11, 12 which can be displaced and fixed along them. At the connection points of the tension members 2, 3 with the upper ends of the arms of the bracket la insert pieces 12 made of elastic material are provided. which ensure a continuous transition between the tension members 2, 3 and the bracket arms and prevent injuries to the animal neck H.

On the push rods 4, 5, if they extend over several animal herds, tie loops 1 for each of the latter can be anchored, which can be opened and closed simultaneously by means of the actuating device BV. If one of the animals is to remain trapped in such a group of tie-down loops 1 while the others are released, the opening of the tie-up loop 1 concerned is prevented by enclosing the crossing point of the tension members 2, 3 with a bracket 13 (shown in dashed lines) or a clasp will. When the actuating device BV moves in the sense of opening the tie-down loops, the upper tension member ends of the tie loop 1 associated with the animal to be held are also moved into the spaced-apart position, with the tension members 2, 3 remaining connected to one another above the animal neck H by the clasp 13.

In addition to ropes and / or chains, the flexible tension members 2, 3, the actuating device BV can also be designed in a form other than that shown.
