Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of restraint equipment for cynomolgus monkeys, specifically to a head restraint tool for cynomolgus monkeys in cages. Background Technology

[0002] The crab-eating macaque is a mammal belonging to the genus *Macrochelys* of the family Cercopithecidae in the order Primates. It is also known as the long-tailed macaque or crab-eating monkey. Its fur varies in color from yellow, gray, and brown, ranging from grayish-brown to reddish-brown; the fur on its belly and inner limbs is lighter in color, with a wispy crest; its face is brownish-gray with whiskers, bare skin around the eyes, and a white triangular area on the upper side of the eyelids; its ears are erect and its eyes are black. It has a flat nose with narrow nostrils; well-developed cheek pouches on both sides of its face; and a small whorl of hair on the top of its head. It is named the crab-eating macaque because it prefers to forage for crabs and shellfish at low tide. When treating crab-eating macaques, cages are generally used for restraint to facilitate subsequent treatment. However, the large space inside these cages can lead to some uncertainty when veterinarians examine the macaques. Therefore, we propose a head restraint tool for crab-eating macaques within their cages. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a head restraint tool for crab-eating monkeys inside cages.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a head restraint tool for crab-eating macaques in cages, including a rod body. The bottom surface of the rod body is integrally constructed with a tube sleeve for connection, and a stud is screwed into the tube sleeve. The end of the stud away from the tube sleeve is integrally constructed with a ring body for restraining the head of the crab-eating macaque, and the end of the rod body away from the tube sleeve is integrally constructed with a handle.

[0005] A ring is slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the rod, and a buckle is integrally constructed on the outer periphery of the ring for connection. A Velcro strap for binding is fitted on the outer periphery of the buckle.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when examining and treating cynomolgus monkeys, the monkeys can first be restrained using a cynomolgus monkey cage. The handle is used to lift the rod so that the ring at the bottom of the rod corresponds to the monkey's head. The near-circular shape increases the contact area with the monkey's head, making the restraint more secure. Combined with the animal restraint function built into the cage, the monkey's body and head can be restrained simultaneously. At the same time, the studs on the outside of the ring and the tube at the bottom of the rod are screwed together, making it easy to disassemble and assemble the ring and replace it with a ring of the appropriate size according to the size of the monkey.

[0007] When using the restraint tool for the head of a cynomolgus monkey, as the rod and the ring pass through the gap in the monkey's cage, the Velcro strap on the outer circumference of the ring can be used to bind the ring to the cage, providing a certain degree of limitation for the rod. This facilitates subsequent support and limitation for the staff. Furthermore, when using the restraint tool to hold the monkey's head in place, it provides auxiliary support for the rod, making it easier for personnel to use the restraint tool.

[0008] Specifically, the outer periphery of the ring has grooves, and there are multiple sets of grooves. A sponge sleeve that fits into the grooves is fitted around the outer periphery of the ring.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the sponge sleeve is installed on the outer periphery of the ring, and the groove facilitates the improvement of the stability of the connection between the two. In addition, the sponge sleeve has good elasticity, which helps to reduce the situation of abrasion caused by friction between the ring and the cynomolgus monkey.

[0010] Specifically, both the outer circumference of the sleeve and the outer circumference of the stud are provided with pin holes, and a screw rod for fastening is screwed into the pin holes. A rubber gasket is glued to one end of the sleeve near the stud.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the screw rod and the pin hole are screwed together, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the screwed connection between the stud and the sleeve, and also facilitates disassembly and assembly, making it easy to replace the ring body. The rubber gasket helps to improve the tightness of the connection between the sleeve and the stud.

[0012] Specifically, the outer periphery of the rod is integrally constructed with an arc-shaped strip that fits into the ring.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped strip on the outer periphery of the rod can easily fit with the ring, so that the ring will not rotate on the outer periphery of the rod.

[0014] Specifically, the outer periphery of the arc-shaped strip is provided with screw holes, and there are multiple sets of screw holes. The outer periphery of the ring sleeve is screwed with a screw pin that is screwed and connected to the screw holes.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the screw pin is conveniently screwed into the outer circumference of the ring and screwed into the screw hole on the outer circumference of the arc-shaped strip. After the head of the crab-eating macaque is restrained by the rod, the position of the outer circumference ring of the rod is fixed by the screw pin and the screw hole, so that the rod can be restricted to the outer circumference of the crab-eating macaque cage, which facilitates the assistance of the staff and saves manpower.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The technical solution of this application, through the design of the handle, sleeve, stud, and ring, allows for the restraint of cynomolgus monkeys during examination and treatment using a cynomolgus monkey cage. The handle is used to lift the rod, allowing the ring at the bottom of the rod to align with the monkey's head. The near-circular shape increases the contact area with the monkey's head, making the restraint more secure. Combined with the animal restraint function built into the cage, the monkey's body and head can be restrained simultaneously. Furthermore, the stud on the outside of the ring and the sleeve at the bottom of the rod are screwed together, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the ring and allowing for easy replacement with rings of appropriate sizes according to the size of the cynomolgus monkey.

[0018] 2. The technical solution of this application, through the design of a ring, a buckle, and a Velcro strap, allows the ring to be secured to the cage when the rod moves the ring through the gap in the monkey cage. This provides a certain degree of limitation for the rod, facilitating support and limitation for personnel. Furthermore, the Velcro strap on the buckle provides auxiliary support for the rod when the monkey's head is restrained, making it easier for personnel to use the restraint tool.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a head restraint tool for crab-eating macaques in cages, comprising a rod 1, a sleeve 3 integrally formed on the bottom surface of the rod 1 for connection, and a stud 4 screwed into the sleeve 3, a ring 5 integrally formed on the end of the stud 4 away from the sleeve 3 for restraining the head of the crab-eating macaque, and a handle 2 integrally formed on the end of the rod 1 away from the sleeve 3; a ring 6 is slidably installed on the outer periphery of the rod 1, and a buckle 7 integrally formed on the outer periphery of the ring 6 for connection, and a Velcro strap 8 for binding is fitted on the outer periphery of the buckle 7.

[0026] When using this device to examine and treat cynomolgus monkeys, the monkey can first be restrained using the monkey cage. The handle 2 is used to pick up the rod 1 so that the ring 5 at the bottom of the rod 1 corresponds to the monkey's head. The round shape increases the contact area with the monkey's head, making the restraint more secure. Combined with the animal restraint function built into the cage, the monkey's body and head can be restrained simultaneously. At the same time, the stud 4 on the outside of the ring 5 is screwed into the sleeve 3 at the bottom of the rod 1, making it easy to disassemble and assemble the ring 5. It is convenient to replace the ring 5 with one of the appropriate size according to the size of the monkey.

[0027] When using the head restraint tool for crab-eating macaques, as the rod 1 drives the ring 5 through the gap in the crab-eating macaque cage, the Velcro strap 8 on the outer circumference of the ring 6 can be used to bind the ring 6 to the crab-eating macaque cage, providing a certain limiting performance for the rod 1. This facilitates providing support and limiting performance for the staff later. Furthermore, when using the restraint tool to restrain the crab-eating macaque's head, it is convenient to provide auxiliary support for the rod 1, making it easier for the staff to use the restraint tool.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer periphery of the ring body 5 has a groove 15, and there are multiple sets of grooves 15. A sponge sleeve 16 that fits the groove 15 is fitted around the outer periphery of the ring body 5.

[0029] When in use, the sponge sleeve 16 is installed on the outer periphery of the ring body 5. At the same time, the groove 15 helps to improve the stability of the connection between the two. The sponge sleeve 16 has good elasticity, which helps to reduce the situation of abrasion caused by friction between the ring body 5 and the crab-eating macaque.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, pin holes 12 are provided on the outer periphery of the sleeve 3 and the outer periphery of the stud 4, and a screw rod 13 for fastening is screwed into the pin hole 12. A rubber pad 14 is glued to one end of the sleeve 3 near the stud 4.

[0031] In use, the screw rod 13 and the pin hole 12 are screwed together to improve the stability of the screwed connection between the stud 4 and the sleeve 3, and at the same time, it is easy to disassemble and assemble, and easy to replace the ring body 5. The rubber gasket 14 helps to improve the tightness of the connection between the sleeve 3 and the stud 4.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer circumference of the rod 1 is integrally constructed with an arc-shaped strip 9 that fits into the ring 6.

[0033] When in use, the arc-shaped strip 9 on the outer periphery of the rod 1 can easily fit with the ring 6, so that the ring 6 will not rotate on the outer periphery of the rod 1.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer periphery of the arc-shaped strip 9 is provided with screw holes 10, and there are multiple sets of screw holes 10. The outer periphery of the ring sleeve 6 is screwed with a screw pin 11 that is screwed and connected to the screw holes 10.

[0035] In use, the screw pin 11 is easily screwed into the outer circumference of the ring sleeve 6 and screwed into the screw hole 10 on the outer circumference of the arc-shaped strip 9. After the head of the crab-eating macaque is restrained by the rod body 1, the position of the outer ring sleeve 6 of the rod body 1 is fixed by the screw pin 11 and the screw hole 10, so that the rod body 1 can be restricted to the outer circumference of the crab-eating macaque cage, which facilitates the assistance of the staff and saves manpower.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, first, install the corresponding structural components in suitable positions. When examining and treating cynomolgus monkeys, the monkey cage can be used to restrain the monkey. The handle 2 is used to lift the rod 1, ensuring the ring 5 at the bottom of the rod 1 aligns with the monkey's head. The near-circular shape increases the contact area with the monkey's head, making the restraint more secure. Combined with the animal restraint function of the cage, both the monkey's body and head can be restrained simultaneously. Simultaneously, the studs 4 on the outside of the ring 5 are screwed into the sleeve 3 at the bottom of the rod 1, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the ring 5. This allows for easy replacement with rings of the appropriate size according to the monkey's specifications. This also allows for the restraint of the monkey's head. When the restraining tool is in use, when the rod 1 drives the ring 5 through the gap of the crab-eating macaque cage, the Velcro strap 8 on the outer circumference of the ring 6 can be used to bind the ring 6 to the crab-eating macaque cage, and provide a certain limiting performance for the rod 1. This facilitates the subsequent support and limiting performance for the staff. When the restraining tool is used to restrain the crab-eating macaque's head, it is convenient to provide auxiliary support for the rod 1, making it easier for the staff to use the restraining tool. After the crab-eating macaque's head is restrained by the rod 1, the position of the outer circumference of the ring 6 of the rod 1 is fixed by the screw pin 11 and the screw hole 10, so that the rod 1 can be restricted to the outer circumference of the crab-eating macaque cage, which facilitates the assistance of the staff and saves manpower.
