TESTING AND OPERATING TABLE FOR FOWLS Filed Nov. 15, 1945 Patented Get. 11, 1949 TESTING AND OPERATING TABLE 7 FOR FOWLS Dale A. Hayes, Springfield, Ill.
Application November 13, 1945, Serial No. 628,009
2 Claims.
My invention pertains to theequipment needed for the care and protection of chickens and other fowls, the health and living conditions of which has to do with the public health.
An object of my invention is to provide means which will make it convenient and practical to check and inspect such fowls when desired.
A particular purpose of my invention is to provide a testing and operating table for fowls and on which a chicken, turkey, duck or the like may be quickly, easily, comfortably and safely clamped down in a convenient position which will facilitate a speed action on the part of the attendant.
I achieve the purposes of my invention by the device disclosed in this specification and comprehensively illustrated in the drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective of my testing and operating table.
Figure 2 is a top view of the same.
Figure 3 is a front view of the table.
Figure 4 is an end view of the same.
Figure 5 is a detail of a front corner of my testing and operating table for fowls.
I shall now set forth the outstanding essentials of mechanical efficiency in my invention as I make reference to the drawings which show its preferred construction.
In my invention, I am disclosing a new teaching in the careful safe quiet handling of fowls when they are subjected to disquieting tests and operations which often times disturb them to an extent that is not good in its reaction on their health and developing welfare.
While certain non-essential details of my device may be altered at will, and stay within the spirit and scope of my invention, yet the preferred construction and operation of this device is comprehensively shown in the drawings herewith and wherein a table frame I has a wire top 2 and preferably folding legs 3 for its operative support and provides a comfortable wire support for fowls when placed there for a test, a treatment or operation.
However, when a chicken, for instance, is laid on this wire table top to undergo tests or an operation, I prefer to slip an elastic cord or strap 4 (secured at its ends to table I by clamping, riveting, screwing, or otherwise securing the same) over the chickens body and under its wing as illustrated in Figure 1.
In addition to this, I prefer to lift the chickens legs 5 in position back across clamping plate 6 to be able to press inverted square hook 1 down across legs 5 of the chicken to hold its legs snugly and safely where the chicken will not be able to injure itself while on this table.
Clamping plate 6 has a top square hole 8 through which upright shank 9 of square hook I is slidably guided in its clamping functions.
A U bracket I6 secured firmly to the bottom front bar ll of table frame I in an upright position has a guide hole l2 in its top bracket arm 13 and a guide hole M (and each preferably square) in lower bracket arm 15, and both holes functioning as upright guides for shank 9 of square clamping hook 1.
Between top bracket arm 13 and lower arm [5 of bracket 19, I provide an upright coiled spring i6 encompassing square shank 9 of clamp hook I with preferably a cotter pin l1 fitted through a hole i8 transversely extending through shank 9 of hook "I at the top !9 of spring It so that this pin H will serve as the bumper or stop means by which spring l6 may lift clamp hook I up off of legs 5 of a chicken or other fowl when it is to be released from my testing or operating table I.
It will be observed that I use a flat spring 28 secured by one end 2| to the bottom surface 22 of plate 6 permitting the free end 23 of spring 20 to slidably contact shank 9 of hook I so that when hook I is gently and snugly pressed down on legs 5 of a fowl, then spring 20 will prevent hook I from being plunged upwardly by spring it until desired.
In the meantime, a push button release 24 with its upright shank 25 extending down through a hole 26 in plate 6 to rest on spring 28 may be pressed down just far enough at its free end 23 (binding shank 9 of hook 1) to release its binding contact and let spring l6 lift hook 1 off of legs 5 of the fowl when liberating the fowl.
It will be obvious that any desired number of clamping hooks I may be used on this table sufficient to hold down such fowls as may be comfortably accommodated on my table of the capacity desired.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
1. In combination with a testing and operating table for fowls and provided with a table top, an integral marginal clamp support plate and an elastic holding member extending over the tables length, a plurality of fowl leg clamps, each comprising an inverted square hook, a U bracket with square holes for slidably holding said hook by its shank, a pin stop through each shank between the free ends of said U bracket and a coiled spring encompassing said hook shank below said pin, a leaf spring stop member the free end of which slidably contacts said shank of the hook clamp for holding the clamp down when the clamp is pressed down on the legs of a fowl and a clamp release press button for releasing the resilient clamp pressure on said fowl legs when desired. 7
2. In a testing and operating table for fowls and provided with a frame and wire table top, a peripheral clamping plate and an elastic fowl holding strap, a leg clamp for holding down fowls by the legs and including, an inverted square hook having its shank slidably extending down through square holes defined in said clamp plate, a U bracket secured to the outside of said clamp plate and provided with vertically aligned square holes for the slidable operative supportof said inverted square hook, a coiled, spring encompassing said shank of the hook between the vertically aligned square holes in said bracket andv when desired, a leaf spring secured by one end to said clamp plate and the free end of which slidably contacts said square hook shank to hold the hook down on a fowls legs with selected clamp pressure, a press button to release said leaf spring and let said coil spring lift said clamp hook when desired and said holding strap adapted to hold a fowl on said table when desired.
