Description

Locker for a partridge cage.

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is a innovative locker designed to house a cage for partridges.

Background of the invention

It is well known in the field of breeding you lose the use of lockers where the cages are introduced that enclose partridges. These lockers have a surface bottom on which the cage rests, and which serves to collect droppings and other debris from the bird, plus a feeder to feed her Currently, the lockers are manufactured in wood or chipboard, which has the disadvantage that deteriorates rapidly due to inclement weather (sun, rain, etc.) and contact with the waste itself partridge.

Description of the invention

The present invention solves the problems described thanks to a locker that can be made of ABS (Acronitrile Butadiene Styrene), a very novel novel material resistant to impact, chemical attacks and changes in temperature, or in Polycarbonate (PC). The use of these materials provides enormous advantages over wood or Classic conglomerate. First, it increases the life of the locker, since the deterioration due to atmospheric factors is much smaller In addition, it is much easier to clean the debris from the partridge of an ABS or PC base than of a base made of wood, by What the result is much more hygienic and comfortable. Other advantages of the novel locker of the invention will be mentioned later in the present document.

The invention describes a locker for a Partridge cage comprising an open parallelepiped superiorly formed by a base and front, rear and two sides. In other words, the parallelepiped has the form of an open box above. The walls of this locker have some internal stops to support the cage that houses the partridge of so that there is a space between the floor of the cage and the base Locker It will be in this space where the droppings or any other waste generated by the partridge. The rear wall protrudes superiorly and comprises at least one Hole set hang the locker on a wall. The locker of the invention further comprises a trough connected to the wall frontal. But, as discussed above, the feature main of this new locker is that it is made of Acronitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) or Polycarbonate (PC).

Preferably, the feeder is translucent and Detachable from the front wall to which it is normally connected. Thus, it is easy to see at a glance the amount of food remaining and fill it when necessary. According to a preferred embodiment, the feeder also includes a grid to protect the food, avoiding sparrows or other birds to have access to the same. This grid is attached to the trough preferably by middle of a hinge, which allows the tilting rack to facilitate the task of replenishing the food in the feeder. Further, preferably the feeder is divided into two parts, so that it I can supply you two kinds of meals at the same time or to use one of the parts as a drinking fountain. On the other hand, the feeder has two tabs to prevent the fall of the drawer of the faeces

According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the upper wall portion that protrudes superiorly It is provided with a plurality of hexagonal holes. This allows great flexibility when hanging the locker, and that you can use any type of bolt, alcayata, screw, etc. In many different positions.

According to a preferred embodiment, a pair of lateral reinforcements are also connected between the portion of rear wall protruding superiorly and the side walls, thus providing the locker with greater rigidity at the same time as Provides an easy grip for handling.

Preferably the locker of the invention It is also painted in green or brown colors. In addition, it is not it is necessary to repaint the locker throughout its useful life.

Finally, one more advantage of the locker of the invention is that it is machine-made, which allows to achieve a great repetitiveness in the measures, unlike what happens with conventional lockers manufactured almost by hand in wood. You get a locker whose measures are designed to allow the introduction of all sizes of cages that are currently manufactured.

Brief description of the figures

Fig. 2 shows a cage for partridges known in the art.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The invention is described below by making reference to Fig. 1 in which a non-limiting example is shown of a locker (1) according to the invention designed to receive a cage (100) as depicted in Fig. 2. It is observed how the locker (1) has a base (2) and four walls perpendicular to the same (front (3a), rear (3b), and side walls (3c, 3d)), thus forming the bottom of the locker (1) a parallelepiped or upper open box. For example, this parallelepiped can be square to allow the accommodation of round cages (100). The rear wall (3b) has an upper portion covered by a plurality of holes with hexagonal shape to allow fixing the locker (1) to any wall in a simple way and Quick. In addition, the base (2) is formed by a removable tray which allows to quickly and easily clean the excrements of the animal.

Although it has not been represented graphically in the figures, the walls (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) of the locker (1) have about internal stops that allow the cage (100) for partridges to stay, when housed in locker (1), separate a certain distance from the base (2) thereof, leaving space for excrement or waste generated by the partridge.

The front wall (3a) has a feeder attached (4) equipped with a rack (5) to protect the food from the partridge. The grid (5) is attached to the feeder by means of hinges, of so that to replace the food of the feeder (4) this tilts towards in front of. Once the feeder (4) is filled, a closing mechanism pressure allows to reattach the grid (5) to the feeder (4) with one click Although not seen in this figure, the feeder (4) also includes additional tabs to prevent accidentally release from the front wall (3a).

Finally, reinforcements have been represented (6) that not only provide rigidity to the whole, but also They facilitate handling during transport and assembly.

As mentioned earlier, this new locker (1) is machine made, which allows ensure exact dimensions in all units. Its size is somewhat larger than all currently marketed to allow its use with different sizes and shapes of cage (100), including the largest. In addition, being manufactured in ABS or PC does not only its durability is increased, but it is easier to clean (especially the base (2)).
