Description

1 / 5 DISPOSITION APPLIED IN DOUBLE-JAWED BIRD GRABBER IN AVIARIES. Introduction

[0001] This utility model patent application refers to a novel “ARRANGEMENT APPLIED TO A DOUBLE-JAW BIRD GRABBER IN AVIARIES”, which is a mechanism with two jaws encased in nets with a spring and locking system for capturing birds in aviaries, in order to speed up the task and avoid injuring them. Field of application

[0002] Innovation is applied in the ornamental bird breeding segment in aviaries. Persuasion

[0003] The breeding of ornamental birds must comply with animal protection laws. The first step is to obtain an amateur bird breeder's license from IBAMA and follow rules to provide the greatest possible comfort to the birds, which includes the use of good facilities, clean, spacious and well-ventilated aviaries, as well as proper management.

[0004] Birds are very fragile animals, so it is essential to use all resources to make them feel safe and comfortable, including accessories, swings and perches, which stimulate their instincts.

[0005] Because the aviaries are spacious, there is a minimum normative dimensional ratio per inhabitant, which sometimes makes it difficult to handle and / or capture the birds for treatment purposes, or even to relocate them to other aviaries without causing suffering, since, as is known, they are frightened by the approach of humans.

[0006] In this context, new technologies that enable the handling and / or removal of birds from inside aviaries are welcome in the segment in question. State of the art

[0007] The current state of the art includes some patent documents concerning devices for capturing butterflies and dragonflies, such as KR 19990034180 A entitled “A BUTTERFLY CATCHER WITH A ZIPPER OR MAGIC TAPE ON ONE PORTION OF Petition 870230039865, dated 12 / 05 / 2023, page 6 / 22 2 / 5 'THE COLLECTING NET TO CATCH BUGS SECURELY AND A CONICAL NET TO ATTRACT BUGS WITHIN THE COLLECTING NET' - provided to allow its user to safely collect insects by installing a shutter like a zipper and magic tape to selectively open the collecting net. A pole-shaped handle is provided to allow picking up from a distance. A circular support ring is placed at one end of the cable and a cylindrical collecting net is attached to the support ring. One end of the collecting net has an opening with the same diameter as the support ring. The other end of the collecting net has a circular net bottom with a diameter corresponding to the circumference of the collecting net. A shutter is disposed in the center of the net bottom to be guided inwards.

[0008] In the document above, the butterfly catcher uses the principle of a loop with a ring surrounded by a double net, the outermost net of which, equipped with a zipper, serves as a container for the collected butterflies.

[0009] Document KR 2001009538 A entitled “A DRAGONFLY CATCHER” is characterized by being constituted by: a long cylindrical handle; a circular hoop made of a helical spring, fixed to the top of the handle; a net that is attached along the circumference of the rim; and a wire inserted into the hollow part of the inner hoop.

[0010] The dragonfly catcher described in the document above also uses a long cable and a helical spring-shaped ring with a net attached to it, the difference being a puller, parallel to the cable, which when activated closes the ring preventing the dragonfly from escaping.

[0011] Document CN 204047701 U entitled “BUTTERFLY CATCHING NET” – prevents trapped butterflies from escaping a net and improves the efficiency of butterfly sampling. The escape-resistant butterfly catching net comprises an annular frame, a loop, and an outer layer net sheet, wherein the periphery of the outer layer net sheet is fixed to the annular frame; an inner layer net sheet is fixed to the annular frame; a certain distance is formed between the bottom of the inner layer net sheet pocket and the bottom of the outer layer net sheet pocket; and an annular opening is formed in the catching net. Petition 870230039865, dated 12 / 05 / 2023, page 7 / 22 3 / 5 butterflies resistant to escape.

[0012] It is noticeable that the constructive principle applied in the document above is the same as in the other prior butterfly and dragonfly catchers, as well as in the bird catcher anticipated on the website https: / / gaiolasbuava.com.br / detalhes_produto.php?cod_produto=3714&cod_categoria= 49, called a puçá, however with only one net the bird tends to get loose easily. Innovation objectives

[0013] The objective of the present innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to a double-jaw bird gripper in aviaries that is easy to handle, simply by pressing the self-retracting actuating rods.

[0014] The objective of the present innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to a double-jawed bird catcher in aviaries that is easy to handle and capable of capturing the bird immediately due to the embracing motion resulting from the combined action of the two jaws, without causing any injury.

[0015] The objective of the present innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to a double-jawed bird handler in aviaries capable of promoting agility in handling the birds.

[0016] The objective of the present innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to a double-jawed bird catcher in aviaries with easy construction.

[0017] The objective of this innovation is to propose an arrangement applied to a double-jawed bird catcher in aviaries with an excellent cost-benefit ratio. Innovation Summary

[0018] The “ARRANGEMENT APPLIED TO DOUBLE JAW BIRD GRABBER IN AVIARIES” - consists of a device with two jaws joined by self-retracting rods, due to a torsion spring, and with a locking device, surrounded by nets that, when activated, allow the bird to be immediately embraced without any physical harm or discomfort to it.

Detailed description of the innovation

[0020] The “ARRANGEMENT APPLIED IN DOUBLE JAW BIRD GRABBER IN AVIARIES”, object of this utility model patent application, consisting of two jaws (8) and respective nets (9) connected to longitudinal rods (1) mounted in holes (3), which receive a central axis (4) that anchors a torsion spring (5) that makes them retractable, therefore, able to fully embrace, without injuring or causing discomfort, in capturing birds inside the aviary.

[0021] A “DISPOSITION APPLIED IN DOUBLE JAW BIRD GRABBER IN AVIARIES” - formed by two longitudinal single-filar rods (1) with convex posterior enlargements (2), which operate together, supported in holes (3) traversed by a central axis (4) that anchors a torsion spring (5), giving the self-retracting effect to the grabber (P), in addition to a sliding locking plate (6) with puller (7) which when extended, i.e., outwards, prevents the opening of the two jaws (8) with nets (9) located at the ends of said longitudinal rods (1) and when retracted, thanks to the non-interference of the rear line (10). Petition 870230039865, dated 12 / 05 / 2023, p. 9 / 22 5 / 5 said locking plate (6) with the end part of one of the longitudinal rods (1) releases the movement / opening of the handle (7) and, consequently, of the jaws (8) in order to embrace the bird inside the aviary without causing any kind of injury and / or discomfort. The jaws (8) and their respective, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, may be square as striped in figures 1 to 5, or in a constructive variation circular as illustrated in figure 6.

[0022] Functionally, the puller (7) works by pressing the longitudinal rods (1), but not before releasing the locking plate (6) by moving it outwards, which from a fully open position is closed in order to embrace the bird and hold it between the jaws (8) and respective nets with sufficient space for its well-being. The locking plate (6) can be used at the moment of capture or when the gripper (5) is not in use, at rest. Petition 870230039865, dated 12 / 05 / 2023, p. 10 / 22
