A gondola for the transport of animals to be slaughtered preferably hogs, in an anaesthesia system A gondola for the transport of animals to be slaughtered, preferably hogs, in an anaesthesia system, said gondola (9) comprising two end gables including an outer and gable (10) and an inner end gable (11). The inner end gable (11) is permanently fastened to a bottom (14) and a second side wall (15). The bottom (14) with the inner end gables (11) and the second side wall (15) are pivotably mounted around a fixed rotational shaft (16). The gondola comprises furthermore a first side wall (17) above pivotably mounted around a shaft (23) extending parallel to the shaft (16) between the two outer end gables (10). The upper parts of the inner end gables (11) adjacent the first side wall are provided with a traverse shaft extending in the longitudinal direction of the gondola. The end of said shaft facing the first side wall (17) carries a pulley in engagement with a guide track (20) on the first side wall (17), while the opposite end of said shaft carries a projecting pulley (37) provided to engage with a cam-forming guide means (39) when the gondola passes an exit of the anaesthesia system. Under the influence of the guide means (39) the bottom (14) with the second side wall (15) and the inner end gable (11) is rotated around the rotational shaft (17), while the pulley in engagement with the guide track (20) rotates the first side wall (17) in the opposite direction around the rotational shaft (23) by moving in the guide track. As a result a gap is provided between the bottom (14) and the first side wall (17), said gap being automatically closed when the permanently fixed guide means (39) enables the rotating parts to return to their starting positions by means of the force of gravity. Thus the permanently fixed guide means (39) enables the gondola (9) to automatically deliver the unconscious animals. |
