COW STALL EQUIPMENT Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture; dairy farming. SUBSTANCE: after feeding, an animal has to step back to withdraw the head from the feeder aperture and from under a front enclosure mounted on pillars. The front enclosure is secured at an angle relative to the floor to tilt towards the inside of the stall. However the cow cannot leave the stall because the stall is provided with a back motion-limiting device. The device is a flexible rope attached to top ends of vertical rods. The back motion-limiting devise is positioned for height so that it is not higher than the knee joint of the animal in the stall. Brackets for the vacuum line are clamps rigidly attached at an angle to halves of T-members on the water supply pipe side so that they are their extensions. EFFECT: lower specific consumption of materials; convenience in operation; lower installation cost. 4 cl, 4 dwg
