    [0044] DETAILED EXHIBITION OF THE INVENTION
    [0045]
    [0046] Figure 1 shows a clamp 1 for a fractured, or injured, leg of a quadruped animal such as a cow or a horse, according to an embodiment of the invention, comprising a support structure 2 configured to house the wounded leg of the invention in its interior. animal avoiding that the animal rests on the fractured area. The clamp 1 also comprises an immobilizing structure 3 configured to immobilize the wounded leg by pressure, the immobilizing structure 3 being attached to the support structure 2.
    [0047]
    [0048] With the clamp 1 of the invention it is achieved that the wounded leg of the four-legged animal can heal correctly since it allows the two fractured ends of the bone to be placed close to each other and immobilized in said position so that the bone can be welded correctly to the time clamp 1 serves as a crutch to prevent the weight of the animal resting on the fractured or damaged area, thus favoring the correct cure of the animal's wound.
    [0049]
    [0050] Although throughout the description reference is made to the fracture of a leg, the clamp 1 of the invention is also able to help heal any type of injury such as a twist or an open wound.
    [0051]
    [0052] The immobilizing structure 3, according to the embodiment of the invention, is slidable with respect to the support structure 2, so that the transmission of the blows or vibrations absorbed by the support structure 2 towards the injured leg is prevented since the immobilizing structure 3 cushions such blows, therefore, the injured leg of the animal does not suffer the swings of the terrain.
    [0053] According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the support structure 2 comprises an upper support 4, shown in figures 1, 2A and 2B, configured to be supported on the lower chest, in the case of being used on a front leg, or on the lower part of the thigh, in the case of being used on a hind leg. In order that said upper support 4 does not cause chafing to the animal, it comprises a contact zone, anatomically shaped, comprising at least one layer of foam material to avoid chafing while providing a soft support zone.
    [0054]
    [0055] In the example of FIGS. 1, 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B a clamp 1 for a front leg is shown. The clamp 1 for a rear leg is very similar to that of a front leg, the latter being configured to house the hock inside, therefore, the diameter of the clamp 1 for a rear leg will be somewhat larger, as it is shown in figures 4, 5A, 5B and 6. Likewise, in this case the upper support 4 'of the clamp 1 for the rear leg is somewhat larger since this is configured to be supported on the lower part of the thigh.
    [0056]
    [0057] The anatomical contact zone 42, being understood by contact zone the upper zone of the upper support 4 or 4 ', according to the invention, is symmetrical so that it is able to adapt to the contour of the lower part of the chest, or thigh, of the animal regardless of whether the clamp is placed on a right or left leg.
    [0058]
    [0059] According to the invention, each half of the anatomical contact zone 42 comprises a curved ridge 40 that opens at each end in a curved valley 41 joining both ridges 40, as shown in Figures 2A, 2B, 4 and 5B. Preferably, the lower part of the chest or thigh of the animal is supported on said valleys 41. Although the shape of the contact zone described is preferred, other anatomical forms of contact are not ruled out.
    [0060]
    [0061] The support structure 2 of the invention, shown in Figures 2A and 2B for a front leg or in Figures 5A and 5B for a rear leg, also comprises a lower base 5 which is attached to the upper support 4 and 4 'through main columns 6 that are arranged between the upper support 4 and 4 'and said lower base 5, so that the animal rests on the supporting structure 2 resting on the lower base 5. As it is observed in the Figures 1, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, comprises three main columns 6 arranged at 120 degrees.
    [0062]
    [0063] The lower base 5 and the upper support, according to any of the embodiments 4 or 4 ', are circular, providing the support structure 2 with a circular configuration capable of housing inside the injured leg of the animal.
    [0064]
    [0065] The immobilizing structure 3 is slidable with respect to the support structure 2, sliding and guided on the main columns 6 of the support structure 2.
    [0066]
    [0067] As seen in Figures 3A, 3B and 6, the immobilizing structure 3 according to the preferred embodiment of the invention comprises an upper ring 30 and a lower ring 31 joined by fixing columns 32 so that the main columns 6 of the The support structure 2 passes through the upper ring 30 and the lower ring 31, the immobilizing structure 3 being arranged between the upper support 4 or 4 'and the lower base 5 of the support structure 2, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. Figure 4. The immobilizing structure 3 can slide on the support structure 2, guided on said main columns 6. For this, the upper ring 30 and the lower ring 31 comprise passage means that allow the passage of the corresponding main columns 6, comprising said means for passing a hole 300 for each main column 6, preferably rectangular, although it may comprise any shape that allows the passage of the main column. pal 6 corresponding.
    [0068]
    [0069] In this way, as already mentioned above, the immobilizing structure 3 can absorb the blows or vibrations to which the support structure 2 can be subjected so as to prevent them from being transmitted to the injured leg of the animal.
    [0070]
    [0071] According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the immobilizing structure 3 comprises three fixing columns 32 disposed at 120 °, as can be seen in figures 3A or 3B for a front leg or in figure 6 for a rear leg.
    [0072]
    [0073] Likewise, the immobilizing structure 3 comprises a plurality of immobilizing elements 33 configured to immobilize the injured leg of the animal by pressure, that is, said immobilizing elements 33 are supported against the leg of the animal and are fixed in said position, as will be described below.
    [0074]
    [0075] In the non-limiting example of Figures 3A, 3B and 6 each fixing column 32 comprises two or three locking elements 33 arranged at different heights (although it is not excluded that more locking elements 33 can be used), so that said plurality of elements Immobilizers 33 surrounds and restrains the leg of the animal immobilizing it so that it can heal, preventing the damaged area from supporting the weight of the animal, thus favoring the correct healing of the lesion. Also, as the animal rests on the support structure 2, and not on the damaged area of the leg, the animal can walk without aggravating the leg injury.
    [0076]
    [0077] As the immobilizing elements 33 are removable these can be arranged close to the fractured or damaged area so that it is possible to enclose the area closest to the injury possible, without pressing the affected area, and immobilize said area so that the injury can heal from effective way.
    [0078]
    [0079] To do this, each fixing column 32 comprises coupling means 320 which allow the immobilizing elements 330 to be detachably fixed at different heights. In the non-limiting example of the invention, said coupling means 320 comprise through holes 320 arranged aligned along each of the corresponding column 32, as can be seen in figures 3A, 3B and 6.
    [0080]
    [0081] Each immobilizing element 33, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, comprises a crescent-shaped contact end 330 configured to be supported on the injured leg of the animal. Said contact end 330 is attached to one end of a rod 331 which passes through the coupling means 320, ie one of the through holes 320, of the corresponding fixing column 32. The immobilizing element 33 is fixed at the opposite end by means of stop means, for example, a nut 332, which makes it possible to fix the immobilizing element 33 between the leg of the animal and the corresponding fixing column 32. Said nut 332 cooperates with the threaded free end of the rod 331 that projects outwards from the clamp 1.
    [0082]
    [0083] To avoid friction and provide a soft support, the contact end can be lined with a foaming material as well as the contact area 42 of the upper support 4 of the support structure 2.
    [0084]
    [0085] In order to reinforce the clamp 1 of the invention, the support structure 2 comprises an intermediate ring 7 disposed between the upper support 4 or 4 'and the lower base 5, through the main columns 6 said intermediate ring 7, as observed in FIGS. Figures 1 and 4. Said intermediate ring 7 is disposed movably on the support structure 2, that is to say, it is possible to fix its position between the upper support 4 or 4 'and the lower base 5 at different heights, if necessary. This is advantageous in case the lesion coincides with the intermediate ring 7. In this case, ie if the lesion and the position of the intermediate ring 7 coincide, it is possible to move said ring 7, upwards or downwards, to enable the correct immobilization of the affected area.
    [0086]
    [0087] The intermediate ring 7 comprises passage means that allow the passage of the corresponding main columns 6, said passage means comprising an orifice for each main column 6, preferably rectangular, although it can comprise any shape that allows the passage of the corresponding main column 6 . In turn, each main column 6 comprises coupling means 60 that allow the intermediate ring 7 to be detachably fixed at different heights. In the non-limiting example of the invention, said coupling means 60 comprise through holes 60 arranged aligned along each of the main columns 6, as can be seen in figures 2A, 2B, 5A and 5B. The intermediate ring 7 is fixed to the main columns 6 at the desired height by means of joining means, for example screws, which pass through the coupling means, ie a corresponding hole 60, to be fixed through the opposite end preferably with a corresponding nut.
    [0088]
    [0089] Likewise, the fixing columns 32 of the immobilizing structure 3 pass through the intermediate ring 7, as can be seen in figure 1 or 4, so that said intermediate ring 7 is arranged between the upper ring 30 and the lower ring 31. of the immobilizing structure 3. In this way, the fixing columns 32 of the immobilizing structure 3 are reinforced by said intermediate ring 7.
    [0090]
    [0091] For this, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the intermediate ring 7 comprises passage openings 70 that allow passage of the fixing columns 32 of the immobilizing structure 3. Preferably, each passage opening 70 is disposed between two main columns 6 of the support structure 2, as shown in Figure 1.
    [0092]
    [0093] Optionally, the main columns 6 of the support structure 2 can be telescopic, which allows to easily adapt the clamp 1 of the invention to quadruped animals of different heights.
    [0094]
    [0095] In the preferred embodiment of the invention, both the lower base 5 and the upper support 4 or 4 'of the support structure 2 are attached to the main columns 6 in a removable manner. The upper ring 30 and the lower ring 31 of the locking structure 3 are also attached to the fixing columns 32 removably. This allows the clamp 1 to be easily assembled and disassembled, for example, to replace one of the components in case of deterioration.
    [0096]
    [0097] The clamp 1 of the invention is assembled according to a preferred mode, although it is not the only mode of assembly.
    [0098]
    [0099] According to said preferred mounting mode, in a first step the main columns 6 of the support structure 2 are fixed to the upper support 4 or 4 '. In parallel, the immobilizing structure 3 can be mounted. For this, the fixing columns 32 are fixed to the upper ring 30, then the intermediate ring 7 of the support structure 2 is placed on the fixing columns 32 of the immobilizing structure 3 and finally the lower ring 31 is placed.
    [0100]
    [0101] Once assembled the immobilizing structure 3, which has the intermediate ring 7 incorporated, this is assembled on the main columns 6 of the support structure 2 and then the lower base 5 is placed and fixed on the main columns 6. Finally, the intermediate ring 7 is fixed to the main columns 6 at the desired height, the locking structure 3 being arranged so that it can be slid over the main columns 6 of the main structure 6.
    [0102]
    [0103] The immobilizing elements 33 can be mounted at any time, for example, when mounting the immobilizing structure 3 or at the end of the assembly of the clamp 1.
    [0104]
    [0105] The fractured or injured leg of the quadruped animal is inserted inside the clamp 1 already assembled for use, and then the immobilizing elements 33 are fixed immobilizing the injured area. Thanks to the immobilizing elements 33 the immobilizing structure 3 is fixed with respect to the leg of the animal. When the animal is incorporated, the support structure 2, whose length is slightly larger than the affected leg, acts as a crutch, preventing the weight of the animal from resting on the fractured or damaged area, avoiding aggravating the animal's injury.
