ABSTRACT:
A cage door assembly for easy one-hand operation is disclosed. The cage door is comprised of a pair of legs secured to the ends of a base member. The door is hingedly secured to a cage. An L-shaped hook is attached to each of the free ends of the legs and these hooks engage with cage wires. The door is opened by squeezing the legs together which disengages the hooks from the cage wires. A bracket is positioned above the door and extends between the legs to prevent those legs from being squeezed together. The bracket can be moved from between the legs by pushing it upwardly with the index finger of the hand being used to open the door. The legs can be squeezed together to disengage the hooks from the cage wires once the bracket is removed from between the legs. The door can easily be opened with one hand. A cage assembly incorporating the cage door is also disclosed which has a feed trough upon which the door can rest upon when opened so as to provide a platform.
