Abstract:
A fastening device for a conveying cart is used for fastening the conveying cart to a to-be-fastened apparatus. The device includes a flange provided on a side of the to-be-fastened apparatus, and having a pin standing therefrom, and a recess formed therein; and a fastening mechanism provided on a side of the conveying cart, and having a first hook member engaging with the pin of the flange so as to position the conveying cart with respect to the to-be-fastened apparatus, and a second hook member engaging with the recess of the flange so the to fasten the conveying cart to the to-be-fastened apparatus.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for simulating static load of a connection to a ventilated rack of animal cages when at least one of the racks are not connected to a central ventilation system. Accordingly, the device assures that the ventilation system is balanced when one or more of the ventilated racks are removed from their respective air supply or exhaust drops of the central ventilation system. The device includes a pair of spring biased legs which automatically close when a rack is removed from the central air system. The legs have an outwardly curved shape at one end forming an opening between the first and second leg. In the closed position, ends of the legs are adjacent to one another such that the distance between the legs is reduced, thereby creating a partial obstruction to air flow in the connection which is identical to the static load created by the ventilated rack.
