Description

Improved cage for partridges.

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is a cage for partridges that presents several improvements in relation to cages current.

Background of the invention

Currently cages are known that They allow to house partridges in captivity. Although the shape of these Cages can be varied, as well as the materials of which they are made and the way they are built, you can say that all they meet the minimum requirements to house partridges. Without However, there are still some problems that are not completely resolved, and that can cause certain difficulties or discomforts

For example, it is currently necessary to change every year the ropes that constitute the base of the cages, since the partridge droppings and their own weight and movements the They deteriorate rapidly. Another drawback is that the cages current are gradually faded, so it is required repaint periodically.

Consequently, there is still a need for a Enhanced partridge cage that facilitates the work of the breeder.

Description of the invention

The present invention solves the problems described thanks to a novel cage for partridges that includes essentially a housing formed plurality of wires Baked painted that have a sash door on one side and that are arranged on a circular base closed by some plastic bars This constitutes one of the main advantages of this cage, since the prior art cages were closed inferiorly by means of ropes, whose deterioration because the weight and movements of the partridge made his replacement annually. Another advantage of this cage is that wires that form the housing in which the partridge is enclosed they are painted in the oven, which avoids the need to repaint them periodically as they discolor. The rest of the pieces that make up the cage are made of plastic material of the same color, normally green or brown, so they also maintain their color indefinitely

Below are defined in more detail each One of the parts that make up the cage of the invention:

to)

A housing formed by a plurality of wires essentially parallel arranged according to a circle at the bottom and that converge at a point at the top. As commented previously, these wires are painted in the oven, so that it is not necessary to repaint them anymore. The most colors Common are green and brown. Preferably the cage It comprises 60 wires that can have a thickness of 2.70 mm

The part bottom of the wires is fixed to the circular base that will describe below. According to a preferred embodiment, by its upper part are held by two plastic plates essentially round fixed together. A first plate comprises a plurality of grooves in its perimeter to receive the wires, while a second round plastic plate with edges smooth is fixed to the first to prevent the exit of wires of said grooves. Preferably, the fixation between the first and second plates are made by means of screws that pass through holes in the first plate that they correspond to some lugs of the second plate. This fixation it will be clearer from the figures of an embodiment Preferred of the invention.

b)

A removable circular base that closes the partridge housing on the bottom by means of plastic bars.

C)

A Guillotine type door arranged in a lateral area of the cage. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, to achieve that the door slide up and down with the object respectively of opening and closing the cage, said door has a central axis that slides vertically inside a projection arranged on the outer face of an intermediate ring that surrounds the cage. In this way, the door can pass in a simple way from an upper position open to a lower closed position and vice versa.

Further, according to a preferred embodiment the lower end of the central axis it is bent substantially 90º so that when the door is in its closed lower position, a rotation of said fixed central axis The door in that position.

In addition to these parts, the cage for partridges of the invention preferably comprises an upper eyebolt that lets hang it up As mentioned earlier, the cage like this configured has numerous advantages over cages known to date.

Brief description of the figures

Figs. 1 and 2 show the cage of the invention where the guillotine door is respectively in the open and closed position.

Figs. 3 and 4 show respectively the first and second plate used to fix the wires from the cage at the top.

Fig. 5 shows the base that closes the cage inferiorly according to the invention.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The invention is described below by making reference to the figures in which an example is shown no limiting of the invention. In particular, Figs. 1 and 2 show the cage (1) of the invention respectively with the door (5) of guillotine in open and closed positions. You can see how the cage (1) is formed by a plurality of wires (2), in this example in a number of 60 and with a diameter of 2.7 mm. How has it shown in Fig. 5, the circular base (3) closes the cage (1) on the bottom thanks to a set of bars (4) of plastic. The wires (2) are fixed at the bottom of this base (2), while at the bottom converge towards a point, being fixed as will be described later in relation to Figures 3 and 4.

The guillotine door (5) can slide towards up and down because it comprises a central axis (12) that passes through the inside of a projection (13) that is formed in the ring (14) intermediate. This intermediate ring, in addition to allowing the formation of the projection (13), also serves to provide greater rigidity to the whole and keep the wires (2) parallel to each other, and has a diameter of about 22.5 cm. The central axis (12) has also a lower end (15) that is folded approximately 90 ° in relation to the rest of the axis (12), so that it is enough to do turn the axis 90º when the door (5) is in its lower position so that said lower end (15) is hooked to the part bottom of the base (3). It is possible to close the door (5) of a More durable and safe way.

On the other hand, Figs. 3 and 4 show respectively the first (6) and second (8) plates that serve to fix the upper part of the wires (2). To do this, the wires (2) pass through the slots (7) of the first part (6), placing on it the second plate (8) of such so that the wires (2) are enclosed in the corresponding slots (7). In this example, the lower (6) and upper (8) plates they fix each other thanks to some screws that are introduced from down through the holes (9) of the first plate (6) and subsequently through the lugs (10) of the second plate (8). It is also seen in Fig. 3 how the bottom plate (6) has central stud that will serve to screw the upper eyebolt (11) that serves to hang the cage (1) of the invention.
