The second opening enables the animal to exit the housing and comprises a door (5) hinged about a vertical axis. This device is particularly suitable for transporting horses.
Description
DISPOSITIF POUR TRANSPORTER UN ANIMAL DIT DE GROS BETAIL DEVICE FOR CONVEYING A LARGE LIVESTOCK ANIMAL
La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de transporter un animal dit de gros bétail, vache ou cheval, ce dispositif étant tracté.The present invention relates to a device for transporting a so-called large animal, cow or horse, this device being towed.
Ces types de véhicules sont conçus traditionnellement, pour transporter ces animaux dans le sens de la marche. Ce procédé implique un transport particulièrement inconfortable pour l'animal, ce dernier pouvant être sujet à un déséquilibre en avant lors du freinage.These types of vehicles are traditionally designed to transport these animals in the direction of travel. This process involves a particularly uncomfortable transport for the animal, the latter may be subject to an imbalance forward during braking.
Un transport de l'animal dans l'autre sens, c'est à dire dans le sens inverse de la marche, tend à rendre son transport plus agréable et avec une sécurité accrue, l'animal pouvant s'appuyer sur son arrière-main lors du freinage, mais oblige l'utilisateur à faire rentrer l'animal par l'avant de la remorque, et donc que celle-ci soit prévue avec une ouverture adaptée à cette manoeuvre.A transport of the animal in the other direction, that is to say in the opposite direction of walking, tends to make its transport more pleasant and with increased security, the animal being able to lean on its hindquarters during braking, but obliges the user to bring in the animal from the front of the trailer, and therefore that the latter is provided with an opening adapted to this maneuver.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet d'y remédier, L'animal étant transporté dans le sens inverse de la marche. La difficulté réside dans le fait qu'une ouverture suffisante sur l'avant du véhicule doit être prévue tout en conservant la rigidité de l'ensemble, ainsi qu'un encombrement raisonnable, c'est à dire similaire aux véhicules existant.The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this, the animal being transported in the opposite direction to walking. The difficulty lies in the fact that a sufficient opening on the front of the vehicle must be provided while retaining the rigidity of the assembly, as well as a reasonable bulk, that is to say similar to existing vehicles.
Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, deux portes se verrouillant mutuellement, une de ces portes ayant la particularité de s'articuler sur un axe incliné. Un tel dispositif permet, lorsque ces portes sont ouvertes, de disposer d'une ouverture tout à fait suffisante pour faire pénétrer un tel animal, ce dernier étant guidé par im couloir d'accès matérialisé par les portes. L'axe incliné de la porte latérale permet un dégagement plus important au niveau des hanches de l'animal lors de son passage tout en conservant l'équilibre du véhicule et sa compacité.According to a first characteristic, it in fact comprises two mutually locking doors, one of these doors having the particularity of being articulated on an inclined axis. Such a device makes it possible, when these doors are open, to have an opening that is entirely sufficient to allow such an animal to enter, the latter being guided by an access corridor materialized by the doors. The tilted axis of the side door allows greater clearance at the animal's hips during its passage while maintaining the vehicle's balance and compactness.
Une porte sur l'arrière du véhicule s'ouvrant largement permet la sortie de l'animal dans son sens de marche.A door on the rear of the vehicle which opens wide allows the animal to exit in its direction of travel.
Selon plusieurs modes de réalisation :According to several embodiments:
La partie avant de la remorque peut comporter un réduit, séparé des box, pouvant servir de sellerie dans le cas de transport de chevaux.The front part of the trailer may include a reduction, separate from the boxes, which can be used as saddlery in the case of horse transport.
L'aile droite du véhicule peut comporter une butée sur laquelle vient s'appuyer la porte latérale en position ouverteThe right wing of the vehicle may include a stop on which the side door bears in the open position
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. La figure 1 représente une vue latérale du véhicule selon l'invention. La figure 2 représente une vue de dessus en position ouverte La figure 3 représente une variante de ce dispositif vue latéralement en position fermé.
En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un châssis en aluminiiun (1), une caisse en nid d'abeille stratifié de fibres de verre et résine polyester (2) de deux mètres quatre vingt de long et un mètre soixante dix de large.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. Figure 1 shows a side view of the vehicle according to the invention. Figure 2 shows a top view in the open position Figure 3 shows a variant of this device seen laterally in the closed position. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises an aluminum frame (1), a honeycomb box laminated with glass fibers and polyester resin (2) two meters eighty long and one meter seventy wide.
Cette caisse comporte une ouverture à l'avant constituée d'une porte latérale (3) articulée sur trois charnières (a), (b), et (c) alignés sur un axe incliné, cette inclinaison pouvant faire un angle de vingt degrés avec la verticale, et d'une porte avant (4) articulée sur deux charnières (d) et (e) verticales. Ces deux portes ouvertes permettent l'introduction des animaux sans difficultés le passage mesurant au plus étroit un mètre quarante. Une porte à l'arrière permet la descente de l'animal, celle-ci s'articule sur trois charnières alignées verticalement.This box has an opening at the front consisting of a side door (3) articulated on three hinges (a), (b), and (c) aligned on an inclined axis, this inclination being able to make an angle of twenty degrees with vertical, and a front door (4) hinged on two hinges (d) and (e) vertical. These two open doors allow the animals to enter without difficulty, the passage measuring at the narrowest one meter forty. A door at the back allows the descent of the animal, it is articulated on three hinges aligned vertically.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le véhicule aura des dimensions de l'ordre de deux mètres vingt pour la largeur, quatre mètres cinquante pour la longueur, et deux mètres cinquante pour la hauteur, et un poids à vide de l'ordre de six cent kilogrammes.By way of nonlimiting example, the vehicle will have dimensions of the order of two meters twenty for the width, four meters fifty for the length, and two meters fifty for the height, and an empty weight of the order of six hundred kilograms.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au transport des chevaux.The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the transport of horses.
Par ailleurs l'invention porte également sur un perfectionnement permettant la surveillance par le conducteur du véhicule tracteur des animaux transportés. Ce perfectionnement est réalisé par une zone translucide (P) disposées à l'avant du van et de plusieurs surfaces réfléchissantes RI, R2, judicieusement disposées à l'avant de la caisse 2, permettant ainsi au conducteur du véhicule tracteur par simple visée optique de contrôler leur comportement par surveillance visuelle de leur avant- main. Un tel dispositif trouve une application préférentielle dans le van précédemment décrit, dans lequel les animaux transportés sont dans le sens inverse de la marche.
Furthermore, the invention also relates to an improvement allowing the monitoring by the driver of the tractor vehicle of the animals transported. This improvement is achieved by a translucent zone (P) disposed at the front of the van and several reflective surfaces RI, R2, judiciously arranged at the front of the body 2, thus allowing the driver of the towing vehicle by simple optical sight of control their behavior by visual monitoring of their forearm. Such a device finds a preferential application in the van described above, in which the animals transported are in the opposite direction of travel.
