ABSTRACT:
A sling device is disclosed for suspending animals, particularly fowl, or articles which have an elongate portion which can be used as the legs of fowl. The sling device comprises a generally C-shaped bracket member with a pivoted lever at one end biased, e.g., by a counterweight, to a rest position. A cord or strap is connected between the other end of the bracket member and a point spaced from the end of the pivoted lever remote from the pivotal mounting of the pivoted lever. In the rest position, the cord is pulled taut under the action of the counterweight. The animal or article is urged against the taut cord, forming a loop therein and moving the points of attachment of the cord relatively towards each other. When the animal or article is released, the weight of the same causes the loop to tighten about the animal or article, ensuring suspension. Alternatively, the end of the cord attached to the bracket member may be attached to another lever pivoted towards the first pivoted lever in the loop forming position. Instead of the counterweight a spring may be used to bias the device to its rest position. The first pivoted lever may be replaced by a movable arm slidable along one leg of the bracket member under the action of a spring.
