Abstract
Abstract A DEVICE WHEREIN POSITIVE PRESSURE IS APPLIED IN THE SWAY OF THE BACK OF AN ANIMAL TO PREVENT ARCHING OF THE BACK TO THEREBY PREVENT KICKING AND SIDEWISE MOVEMENT OF THE ANIMAL. THE PRESSURE BAR IS CURVED SO AS TO FIT THE CONTOUR OF THE BACK BUT WITH A SPECIAL STRAIGHT PORTION TO EFFECTIVELY ENGAGE THE BACKBONE. A SPRING IS UTILIZED TO NORMALLY RETAIN THE PRESSURE BAR IN AN INOPERATIVE POSITION AND AN OPPOSED CHAIN IS USED FOR ADJUSTABLE HOLDDOWN WHEREBY THE DEVICE CAN BE QUICKLY ENGAGED AND DISENGAGED. THE PRESURE BAR ASSEMBLY IS POSITIONED AT AN ANGLE TO THE ANIMAL IN THE OPERATIVE POSITION TO PREVENT OVERCENTER TRAVEL AND RESULTANT LOSS OF POSITIVE PRESSURE. ADJUSTMENTS ARE PROVIDED TO MAKE ROUGH ADJUSTMENTS FOR DIFFERENT SIZE ANIMALS.
