ABSTRACT:
A versatile animal-immobilizing chute or cage structure is an integral vise framework having open ends and no bottom, comprised as a fixed side wall unitary with a top wall, and a movable opposed side wall, the movable wall comprising five or six longitudinally spaced upright frame columns each slidable along a top wall member toward or away from a corresponding fixed member by individual linear hydraulic motors, to grip the sides of an animal body between the vise walls. The vise inner surfaces are comprised of cushion bodies having friction casings fitted over inflatable bags or bladders that may be distended by pneumatic pressure, mounted on swivelling plates to conform to animal surfaces engaged. Other bags or bladders are mounted on lower end plates in pairs to engage a leg of the standing animal between them by longitudinal distention, two pairs holding the forelegs and another two pairs the hind legs; moving upright frames fold outwardly to give access to a body area and are latchable in straight aligned position. The vise framework is inclinable by an offset floor-mounted linear motor joined with the rigid side wall and may be raised or lowered by a pair of end-mounted upright linear motors. Portable versions carrying their hydraulic and pneumatic power units may be lifted by a gantry crane or by a helicopter, or a field unit may be a mobile trailer unit, self-contained and adapted for dismounting. Animals are siezed when walking through the open vise; tranquilized or ill animals are loaded by slings actuated by folding of frame members with the rigid side wall laid flat.
