ABSTRACT:
A cradle is shaped to receive and support an animal in an inverted position; the cradle is pivotally mounted on a frame for rotation about a first substantially horizontal axis which coincides with one side of the cradle and latching means are mounted on the frame for holding the cradle in a horizontal position; the latching means may be released to permit the cradle to rotate about the first horizontal axis to discharge the animal therefrom, and animal tipping means receive an animal and may be rotated about a second substantially horizontal axis to an inverted position to discharge the animal into the cradle in an inverted position. The tipping means have two opposed side walls and a floor, one side wall is fixed lying adjacent the cradle; the other side wall is remote from the cradle and may be moved inwardly from an outermost position to clamp an animal within the tipping means against the one side wall during the rotation of the animal tipping means to a discharge position. The tipping means is also provided with gate means at the entry thereof and can be closed upon an animal entering the tipping means to prevent animals backing therefrom. The gate means is adapted to open when an animal is tipped from the tipping means.
