Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9721342A1] A sheep rollover crate known as the "Ewe-turn" crate comprises a support structure and a sheep restraining cage comprising side members adapted in use to clamp the sheep, the cage being pivoted on the support structure about a longitudinal axis of rotation for movement between a normal position where a sheep held in the cage is upright and a working position where the sheep is inverted, in which the axis of rotation is between the side members of the restraining cage. The support structure includes base members with legs disposed on one side of the crate and pivotally carrying the restraining cage, the legs being pivotally connected to the base members for movement between a substantially upright orientation corresponding to the normal position of the cage and an outwardly sloping orientation corresponding to the working position of the cage, the axis of rotation of the cage being laterally translatable with the pivoting movement of the legs, whereby the sheep to be inverted is initially tilted outwardly before rotation takes place.
