Cell partition in a pigeon box

The invention relates to a cell partition in a pigeon box, with a wall frame having a passageway, in which a height-adjustable sliding board and a pendulum-mounted catch fork are arranged, and the sliding board and the catch fork alternately and jointly open or close the passageway.

DE-GM 298 04 94 0.6 describes such a cell partition wall with several adjustment options for slipping through, catching and preventing visual contact of the pigeons, which is simple and inexpensive to construct and easy to handle.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple alternative to the state of the art for a cell partition wall in/for a pigeon box with variable adjustment options.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1.

The subsequent subclaims contain design features which represent advantageous and beneficial further developments in the solution of the task.

The cell partition wall for a pigeon box advantageously has a sliding wall with an integrated small, lockable hatch for a pigeon and a sliding board,

which can be adjusted in height in a wall frame with a large gap, so that on the one hand the large gap is exposed and on the other hand it is partially closed by the sliding board and exposed by the small gap with a catch fork.

Due to the integration of two essential components in a sliding wall, the cell partition wall is simple and cost-effective and easy to handle, and has a wide range of adjustment options when moving the wall:

(a) free passage of pigeons through a large opening;

b) Partially closing the large opening and opening the small opening by means of the sliding wall;

c) Catching the pigeon through the lockable catching fork in the small gap;

d) Completely closing the large opening with an additional closing board and thus interrupting visual contact for the pigeons.

Thanks to the sliding wall, the wall frame can be shaded with an upside-down U-frame that is free at the bottom and does not require the cross beam that was previously required, which has a positive effect on production and overall costs.

The cell partition wall according to the invention has an increased utility value due to the sliding wall with multiple functions and the construction of the wall frame.

An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. It shows:

The cell partition wall in a pigeon box has a wall frame (WR) with a hatch (D) in which a

-A-

a height-adjustable sliding board (3) and a pendulum-mounted catch fork (FG) are arranged; the sliding board (3) and the catch fork (FG) can be moved alternately and together to a height position that releases or closes the passage (D). A sliding wall (SW) is mounted in the wall frame (WR) so that it can be moved in height, which forms a sliding board (3) that takes up part of the cell depth (Zl) and has a passage (Dl) that extends over the other part of the cell depth (Z2) with a catch fork (FG) that is suspended in a pendulum motion and can be released and locked in the pendulum movement.

The sliding board (3) and the catch fork (FG) of the sliding wall (SW) are located in the same sliding wall plane and are moved together into the respective position.

The sliding board (3) and the opening (Dl) of the sliding wall (SW) take up approximately half the cell depth.

The wall frame (WR) is formed by an upside-down U-frame (1) with a locking board (2) on the top, which takes up approximately half the height of the frame and leaves a larger gap (D) between the U-legs (la) at the bottom, which extends almost over the depth of the frame and half the height of the partition wall.

The sliding wall (SW) can be adjusted in height using sliding strips (4) provided on its vertical board edges in grooves (5) of the U-legs (la) of the U-frame (1) over the entire U-frame height in front of the locking board (2) and into the area of the passage (D).

In separate grooves (7) of the U-legs (la) of the U-frame (1) there is a second locking device that can be placed behind the upper locking board (2) and in the area of the passage (D).

board (6) is held vertically adjustable with its board edges. On the sliding wall (SW) and the second closing board (6) there is a handle bar (8) on the bottom for manual adjustment.

The catch fork (FG) suspended in the slip (Dl) of the sliding wall (SW) is assigned a locking stop (G) on one side of the sliding wall (SW) that can be brought into the area of the slip (Dl) and on the other side on the sliding wall (SW) a height-adjustable locking rod (10) that can be fixed in a height position above the catch fork (FG) and releases the catch fork (FG) in its pendulum movement and can be laid down on the catch fork (FG) in a second height position and falls downwards in front of the catch fork (FG) when the catch fork is swinging, which, with the stop (4), holds the catch fork (FG) between itself and the locking stop (9) in a slip-through locking position.

The catch fork (FG) is supported by a horizontal pivot axis

(11) in the form of crossbeams with tenons at both ends

(12) and two or more fork rods (13) extending downwards from them and which, with their pivot pins

(11) The catch fork (FG) engaging in the edges (14) of the sliding wall (SW) that delimit the passage (Dl) can be pivoted from one cell to the other on both sides of the wall.

The locking stop (9) can be formed by a lever that can be pivoted about a horizontal axis (9a) in the lower passage area (Dl) on the sliding wall (SW) into a release position (Fig. 3) running in the vertical direction of the frame, outside the passage (Dl) and into a locking position (Fig. 1, 5, 7) that extends transversely into the passage (Dl) up to at least one fork rod (13).

The locking rod (10) is supported in a horizontal position on two sliding rods (15) running in the vertical direction on both sides of the passage (Dl) and held at a distance from the sliding wall (SW) in bearings (16), whereby the lower bearings (16) simultaneously form fall limits (16) for the locking rod (10).

The catch fork (FG) has a protruding support (17) on its crossbar (12), like a pin, for fixing the position of the locking rod (10) on the catch fork (FG) and has a movable lock (18) on the sliding wall (SW), like a bolt, for fixing the position of the catch fork (FG) relative to the sliding wall (SW).

In the cell partition wall shown in Figures 1 and 2, both the sliding wall (SW) and the second closing board (6) in the wall frame (WR) are pushed all the way up and are located on either side of the closing board (2) and the large gap (D) is completely free so that the pigeons can move from one cell to the other through this gap (D).

The catch fork (FG) can be fixed by the fallen locking rod (10) and the locking stop (9) pivoted into the passage (Dl), but this is not necessary; the catch fork (FG) can also be free by the locking rod (10) pushed up and acted upon by the locking slide (18) and the pivoted stop (9), since it lies ineffective in front of the locking board (2).

According to Fig. 3 and 4, the sliding wall (SW) is pushed down, its sliding board (3) closes part of the large passage (D) and the passage (D) is only formed by the small passage (Dl). The catch fork (FG) is pushed up by the locking slide (18) and fixed by the

the raised stop (9) is free and can swing to both sides of the cell so that the pigeons can get from one cell to the other and back.

Fig. 5 and 6 show the sliding wall (SW) in the pushed-down position as shown in Fig. 3 and 4, and here the raised locking bar (10) is fixed by the locking slide (18) and the stop (9) is pivoted behind a fork rod (13) of the catch fork (FG). The catch fork (FG) can therefore only swing in one direction (away from the stop (9)), so that the pigeon can get from one cell to the other but cannot return.

This position shows a possible catching position for the pigeon.

Fig. 7 and 8 show a second catch position with the sliding wall (SW) pushed down.

If the pigeon is to be caught, the lever-shaped locking stop (9) is manually swiveled 90° across the passage (Dl) to a fork rod (13) and the locking rod (10) is released from the locking slide (18) and placed loosely downwards on the support pin (17) of the catching fork (FG), as shown in Fig. 7 in a dash-dotted representation of the locking rod (10). This takes place when the pigeon is in the cell to which the locking stop (9) is pointing.

When the pigeon slips from this cell into the neighboring cell, it swings the catch fork (FG) away from the locking stop (9), the catch fork (FG) swings upwards in a direction as shown in Fig. 4 in dotted lines, and the locking rod (10) falls from the support pins (17) down onto the fall limiter (16) on the bottom, so that the catch fork (FG) is now between the locking stop (9) and the locking rod (10) against

Swinging in both directions is secured and the pigeon is trapped in the cell adjacent to the locking bar (10); in this cell it can then be easily grasped by hand and removed from the cell through the open cell door.

To prevent two pigeons housed in adjacent cells from seeing each other, the second locking board (6) is pushed down and closes the large opening (D). The sliding wall (SW) can be at the top or bottom.
