DEFINITION

Classification: 119/732

And crate having movable clamping side member:

(under subclass 729) Subject matter wherein the rigid framework further includes a confining enclosure having therein a relatively maneuverable, clasping, border element for applying a confining pressure to a side of the animal.

(1) Note. The side member may be a wall of the crate itself or may be distinct therefrom.

(2) Note. To be proper for this subclass the crate must be used for more than just a mere housing, feeding, or milking purpose where immobilization of the animal is not essential. The immobilization may be necessary to enable shearing, branding, treatment by a veterinarian, etc.
