Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for livestock obstetrics with a circular cross-section rod, wherein the rod in the region of a front end of receiving a supportable on the mother animal neck support and behind two alternately displaceable and lockable sleeve-shaped parts, wherein the rod, for receiving in the sleeve-shaped parts held, enforced by the rod clamping rings, is formed profiled, wherein the rod has a plurality of mutually parallel and arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod circumferential recesses, wherein the respective recess facing the front rod end, a steep edge and, facing away from the front rod end , has a flat edge.
  • a livestock obstetric device using a rod is described in EP 0608 790 B1.
  • the rod which receives in the region of its front end which can be supported on the mother animal neck support, formed on the outside smooth.
  • a clamping lever is pivotally mounted in one of the two arranged on the rod. This takes at a distance from its pivot axis, an intermediate member pivotally. The intermediate member is also pivotally mounted in the other sleeve-shaped part.
  • both sleeve-shaped parts are determined by means of the clamping rings associated therewith, while during the further tensioning process only one of the sleeve-shaped parts is fixed and the other sleeve-shaped part is displaced.
  • the rod In order to improve the clamping force of the clamping rings with respect to the rod, it has already been proposed to form the rod with a profiled surface by providing the rod with a rectangular thread over the working region of the sleeve-shaped parts or the locking rings passing through the rod.
  • a disadvantage of such a design that the clamping force can not be increased appreciably and sets a fairly high wear between the rod and the clamping rings. This is due to the fact that the clamping rings in their relation to the unloaded starting position inclined clamping position, the rod only touch each other substantially at one point and there consequently the pressure load is very high.
  • a device for livestock obstetrics of the type mentioned is known from US 3,863,642.
  • There is a smooth rod use, are provided in the annular projections, which have a rectangular cross-section. Due to this configuration, the steep flank perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod and the flat flank parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod extends at the respective puncture of the rod. Due to the U-shaped configuration of the respective recess this is thus by two spaced apart, arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod steep edges and one of the two steep flanks connecting flat edge, which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod formed. Between the two adjacent steep flanks of adjacent recesses a rod portion is formed, which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod. In the area of such bar sections of the punctures, the sleeve-shaped parts are guided in the bar.
  • the rod is formed as a rectangular tube and which serves to the slidable receiving two sleeve-shaped parts.
  • the rod is provided in the region of one of its outer surfaces with teeth which serve to receive pawls which are pivotally mounted in the sleeve-shaped parts against the action of a spring.
  • the sleeve-shaped parts are guided displaceably in the rectangular rod.
  • EP-A-0 108 866 discloses a livestock obstetric device in which the rod on the two opposite sides is provided with guide slots extending along the length of the rod, in which the parts displaceable on the rod are inserted and guided , The rod thus passes through not sleeve-shaped parts. With the slidably mounted in the rod parts pawls are connected, which can be brought into operative connection with rack sections of the rod. The rod has for this purpose on each side of the rod, which is provided with the guide groove, the said rack section.
  • the object of the present invention is to further develop the rod in a livestock obstetric device such that the surface loading of the clamping ring during use of the device is relatively low and, moreover, the interaction of rod and clamping ring takes place essentially without wear.
  • an optimal, in particular low-friction guidance between the sleeve-shaped parts and the rod should be ensured.
  • the object is achieved in a device for cattle obstetrics of the type mentioned in that the respective steep edge with the perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod an angle of 5 ° to 15 ° and the respective flat edge with the longitudinal axis of the rod an angle of 10 ° to 20 °, and, based on adjacent punctures, the flat flank of the one puncture and the steep flank of the other puncture are interconnected by means of a parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod rod portion.
  • the invention is detached from the basic idea of a rod with a smooth outer surface, or a rod which is provided with an external thread with a rectangular cross-section.
  • the profiling is not arranged in the direction of the transverse axis of the rod.
  • the respective clamping ring In the clamping position, the respective clamping ring is inclined to a vertical, relative to the longitudinal axis of the rod. For an externally smooth rod, this means that the respective clamping ring contacts the rod with its inner edge. Since this inner edge treads a different curve than that of the rod, the clamping ring contacts the rod only along a relatively short distance.
  • the clamping action between the clamping ring and rod is based on an adverse notch effect with the consequence that only relatively low tensile forces can be transmitted from the sleeve-shaped part to the rod, with fairly high wear of the clamping ring and rod.
  • the invention dissolves from the known from the prior art operating principles by a respective contact surface between the clamping ring and the.
  • a puncture perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod and forming the front rod end facing steep flank of the puncture Rod is produced in the clamped position. Since the clamping ring is subjected to less stress due to the surface load, a higher force can be transmitted to the rod with this, without the cooperating components are exposed to significant wear.
  • a further advantage is that the puncture, facing away from the front rod end, has a flat flank. This ensures that when moving the respective sleeve-shaped part, after loosening the clamping connection between the clamping ring and rod, the clamping ring gently into the can slip over adjacent puncture. In this case, the clamping ring contacts the flat flank on the inside.
  • a further advantage is that, based on adjacent recesses, the flat flank of the one recess and the steep flank of the other recess are connected to each other by means of a parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod rod portion.
  • About such parallel rod sections adjacent recesses can be done in a particularly simple manner, the leadership of the sleeve-shaped parts on the rod, thus both when moving the sleeve-shaped parts away from the neck support, while tightening the leg loops, as well as after loosening the clamping rings Relax the leg loops by moving the sleeve-shaped parts towards the neck support
  • the hole in the respective clamping ring is matched to the outer diameter of the rod, such that the outer diameter of the rod is slightly smaller than the opening diameter of the respective clamping ring.
  • the respective clamping ring is released, for example, when transferring the clamping lever in its end position by acting on the clamping ring and transferred from the inclined position to its initial position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod.
  • This movement can also be effected by a separate actuator which acts on the clamping ring.
  • the device for livestock obstetrics shown for the areas essential to the invention comprises a rod 1. Not shown is a supportable against the body of the mother animal neck support into which the rod with its, based on the orientation of Figure 1 left end can be inserted. The mother's animal turned away (right) end of the rod is also not clarified and takes a handle on.
  • the rod 1 Between the lug support and connected to the other end of the rod handle two alternately displaceable and lockable sleeve-shaped parts 2 and 3 are arranged on the rod 1, wherein the mother animal facing sleeve-shaped part 2 with two diametrically arranged holding devices 4, of which only one is visible in the figure, is provided, which are formed as open on the mother's side facing away hooks.
  • the sleeve-shaped part 3 may be provided with a correspondingly formed holding device. The two ends of leg loops are hung in the holding devices, according to the requirements of the birth process, whose other ends are looped around the respective leg of the young animal.
  • a clamping lever 7 is pivotally connected. Whose pivot axis is designated by the reference numeral 8.
  • An intermediate member 11 has a first intermediate member part 11a, which is mounted at a short distance from the pivot axis 8 about the pivot axis 13 in the tension lever 7 is, further, a second intermediate member part 11 b, which is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 12 in the sleeve-shaped part 2.
  • the intermediate member 11 associated with individual components are used for presetting a tensile force or limiting the tensile force that may be exercised over the leg loops on the young.
  • clamping rings 32 and 33 which are movably mounted in the sleeve-shaped parts 2 and 3 respectively.
  • the clamping rings are mounted on the intermediate member 11 facing side of the respective sleeve-shaped part 2 and 3 in recesses 34 of the sleeve-shaped parts 2 and 3 and, starting from the position shown in Figure 2, in the direction of the double arrows X limited in the respective recess 34 pivotally mounted. Due to the vote of the respective annular opening 35 with the outer diameter of the rod 1, the clamping rings 32 and 33 clamp the rod in an inclined position, whereby the determination of the sleeve-shaped parts 2 and 3 takes place on the rod 1.
  • the position of the clamping rings 32 and 33 is illustrated, in which a displacement of the sleeve-shaped parts 2 and 3 relative to the rod 1 is possible.
  • Detected are the sleeve-shaped parts 2 and 3, when the clamping rings 32 and 33 are positioned adjacent to the inclined stop surfaces 36 of the sleeve-shaped parts 2 and 3.
  • the release of the sleeve-shaped parts by means of a lever 37 which is mounted on a bearing axis 38 on the mother animal side facing away from the sleeve-shaped part 3 in this.
  • a pivoting movement of the lever 37 passes against the clamping ring 33 and pivots it in the position shown in FIG.
  • the reference numeral 40 denotes in the sleeve-shaped parts 2 and 3 on the recesses 34 applied to the side springs 40, which bias the clamping rings 32 and 33 in their pivoted locking position.
