Abstract

The device has a harness provided with parts (P3, P4) and maintained by a lower chassis having front and rear parts (P1, P2). The rear part of the chassis comprises an upper rigid sub-assembly (P2H) that supports one of the parts of the harness for receiving and supporting hindquarters of a quadruped animal. The rear part of the chassis receives an axle i.e. crankshaft (A1), whose ends connect corresponding wheels (R1, R2), where the axle functions as a pedal assembly. The chassis is articulated horizontally between its front and rear parts by another axle (A2).

Description

-1-DESCRIPTF L'invention est caractérisée en un mécanisme permettant à un animal (Y) quadrupède paralysé de son train arrière de se déplacer tout en exerçant automatiquement des mouvements avec ses pattes arrière. Cette activité est propice à un maintien voire à un rétablissement de ses fonctions motrices. L'animal est maintenu dans un harnais réalisé en deux parties (P3) et (P4). Ce harnais est maintenu par un châssis inférieur réalisé également en deux parties (Pl) et (P2). La partie P2 comprend elle-même un sous-ensemble rigide supérieur (P2H), solidaire de (P2) et permettant de soutenir et d'asseoir la partie du harnais (P4) destinée à recevoir et soutenir la partie postérieure de l'animal (Y). Ce dispositif global permet de maintenir le dit animal à une hauteur adaptée lui évitant ainsi d'avoir ses pattes arrière en contact avec le sol. Un axe (A2) est solidaire de l'ensemble des éléments (P2) (P2H) et (P4) afin de permettre une liaison articulée latéralement et horizontalement avec l'ensemble des éléments (P i) et (P3). La partie (P2) du châssis reçoit un axe (Al) de type vilebrequin, lui même disposant d'une roue libre (R1) à une extrémité et d'une roue (R2) entraineuse du vilebrequin à l'autre extrémité. Le dit vilebrequin permet ainsi de faire se mouvoir deux chaussons (C) opposés l'un à l'autre tel un pédalier. Les chaussons sont composés d'une gouttière (W) recevant la patte de l'animal et celle-ci y sera maintenue par des sangles (S2). Un système de clips (Si) est intégré aux dites gouttières permettant ainsi de les fixer sur l'axe (Al) et ceci en leur laissant la possibilité d'une rotation libre sur le dit axe (Al). Chaque chausson évolue de manière excentrique par rapport à sa roue adjacente. Une poignée (P0) supérieure de type poignée de valise relie la partie (P4) à la partie (P3). Un pare-choque (X) est fixé en dessous de la partie (P2) et en avant des deux roues (Rl) et(R2) garantissant l'intégrité des pattes de l'animal en cas d'obstacle. Un dispositif composé d'une molette (M) vissée sur l'axe (Al) est destiné à verrouiller ou pas et à volonté la roue (R2), elle-même responsable de l'entrainement du vilebrequin (Al). Chacune des deux roues sera prisonnière sur l'axe (Al), par l'intermédiaire d'un écrou "borgne" (R). La molette (M) est placée entre la roue R2 et son écrou borgne adjacent R . .35 The invention is characterized in a mechanism allowing a quadruped animal (Y) paralyzed from its rear train to move while exerting automatic movements with its hind legs. This activity is conducive to maintaining or even restoring its motor functions. The animal is held in a harness made in two parts (P3) and (P4). This harness is maintained by a lower frame also made in two parts (Pl) and (P2). Part P2 itself comprises a rigid upper subset (P2H), integral with (P2) and for supporting and seating the part of the harness (P4) intended to receive and support the rear part of the animal ( Y). This overall device keeps the said animal at a suitable height thus avoiding having his hind legs in contact with the ground. An axis (A2) is integral with the set of elements (P2) (P2H) and (P4) to allow a hinged link laterally and horizontally with all the elements (P i) and (P3). The portion (P2) of the frame receives a crank shaft (Al), itself having a free wheel (R1) at one end and a wheel (R2) driving the crankshaft at the other end. The said crankshaft thus makes it possible to move two slippers (C) opposite one another as a pedal. The slippers are composed of a gutter (W) receiving the paw of the animal and it will be maintained by straps (S2). A system of clips (Si) is integrated in said gutters thus allowing to fix them on the axis (Al) and this by leaving them the possibility of a free rotation on said axis (Al). Each liner evolves eccentrically with respect to its adjacent wheel. A handle (P0) upper handle type of bag connects the portion (P4) to the portion (P3). A bumper (X) is fixed below the part (P2) and in front of the two wheels (R1) and (R2) guaranteeing the integrity of the legs of the animal in case of obstacle. A device consisting of a wheel (M) screwed on the axis (Al) is intended to lock or not and at will the wheel (R2), itself responsible for the drive of the crankshaft (Al). Each of the two wheels will be trapped on the axis (Al), via a "blind" nut (R). The wheel (M) is placed between the wheel R2 and its adjacent blind nut R. .35
