Primate restraint device

摘要

When a primate is t restrained by a movable partition wall, friction with vertical bars of a lattice of the partition wall causing damages on roots of limbs of the primate is alleviated to reduce or solve such damages. In a primate restraint device comprising a containing body having both side surfaces, a top surface and a bottom surface, a rear surface door capable of opening and shutting the rear surface side of the containing body, and a partition wall formed movably frontward and rearward in the containing body and capable of being fixed at a desired position in the containing body, some sites among vertical bar members of the partition wall, with which roots of limbs of the primate are brought into contact while the limbs are forced to protrude frontward and restrained, are covered with protective cylinders which are rotatable with respect to the vertical bar members.

主权项

1. A primate restraint device comprising: a containing body having both side surfaces, a top surface and a bottom surface; a rear surface door being provided on a rear surface side of the containing body and being capable of opening and shutting the rear surface side of the containing body by sliding up and down;
a partition wall being formed movably frontward and rearward in the containing body while shutting an inside of the containing body from a front surface side and being formed fixable at a desired position inside the containing body; a pair of operation handles each comprising an upper side portion and a lower side portion extending frontward in parallel from the partition wall and a perpendicular portion connecting distal ends of the upper side portion and the lower side portion; a pair of latch members each extending frontward in parallel between the upper side portion and the lower side portion from the partition wall and having a distal end connected to the perpendicular portion; and lock devices being provided on both sides on the front surface of the containing body and fixing the latch members at desired positions: and a plurality of side shutters provided on the both side surfaces of the containing body, each of the plurality of side shutters comprising a first plurality of vertical bar members, wherein each of the partition wall, the rear surface door, the both side surfaces, and the top surface and the bottom surface of the containing body comprises vertical bar members and horizontal bar members in a lattice pattern, the vertical bar members of each of the both side surfaces being a second plurality of vertical bar members; wherein the lattice pattern of the partition wall defines at least one grid, wherein each grid comprises a first vertical bar member and a second vertical bar member with a space therebetween for protruding a limb of a primate, wherein a protective cylinder encircles at least a portion of the first vertical bar member, with which roots of the limb of the primate are brought into contact while the limb is forced to protrude frontward through the grid and restrained, wherein the protective cylinder is freely rotatable with respect to the first vertical bar member, so that the protective cylinder is adapted to rotate in accordance with a movement of the limb of the primate through the space between the first vertical bar member and the second vertical bar member, wherein each of the plurality of side shutters is adapted to be selectively positioned in (i) a closed position in which the side shutter overlays the vertical bar members on one of the side surfaces of the containing body, and (ii) an open position in which the side shutter does not overlay the vertical bar members on the one of the side surfaces of the containing body, the side shutter being fixed in the closed position or the open position by a lock device provided on the side shutter, wherein, in a side view of the primate restraint device, in the closed position of the side shutter the distance between a vertical bar member of the first plurality of vertical bar members and an adjacent vertical bar member of the second plurality of vertical bar members is less than a distance between adjacent vertical bar members of the second plurality of vertical bar members, and wherein the sole function of the plurality of side shutters is to change intervals between the second plurality of vertical bar members by being selectively positioned in the open position and the closed position.
