Primate Restraint Device With Partition Wall Hind Limb Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional primate restraint devices primarily focus on restricting movement without considering the convenience of procedures like injection or blood collection, which can be challenging and unsafe.
Innovation Solution
A primate restraint device with a containing body, a sliding rear door, a movable partition wall, and hind-limb protrusion openings that allow for safe and easy access for injections or blood collection by restricting the monkey's movement and facilitating the protrusion of the hind limbs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional restraint device is used to restrict monkey movement, then the monkey's movement is restricted, but injection or blood collection becomes difficult and unsafe
Solution Approach 1:
The restraint device is divided into multiple functional zones: a containing body for general restraint, a partition wall for spatial separation, and a hind-limb protrusion opening for specific access. This segmentation allows the device to simultaneously provide movement restriction and facilitate safe access for medical procedures by separating the restraint function from the access function.
Solution Approach 2:
The hind-limb protrusion opening acts as an intermediary structure that mediates between the restrained monkey and the operator. It provides a controlled passage through the partition wall that allows hind limbs to be accessed for injection or blood collection while maintaining the overall restraint constraint, thus facilitating the medical procedure without compromising safety.
2Reliability
If the monkey is completely restrained to ensure safety, then movement is restricted, but access for medical procedures becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The partition wall is designed with differentiated local properties: most of the partition wall maintains the restraint barrier, but the hind-limb protrusion opening provides a localized exception for access. This local quality differentiation allows the device to maintain overall safety through comprehensive restraint while providing targeted accessibility where needed for medical procedures.

AI summary
A primate restraint device capable of restricting the movement of a monkey and, particularly, capable of facilitating injection or blood collection. A primate restraint device comprising: a containing body having both side surfaces, a top surface, and a bottom surface; a door provided to the rear surface side of the containing body and capable of opening and closing the rear surface side of the containing body by sliding up and down; and a partition wall which is formed so as to close the inside of the containing body from the front surface side and to be movable forward and backward within the containing body and which is configured to be able to be affixed at a desired position within the containing body. The partition wall has provided therein hind-limb protrusion openings from which the hind limbs of the contained primate are caused to protrude to the outside.
