Swivelling gait detector for horses - has battery-powered sensor detecting oscillations or pendulum movement in small plastic case attached to animal body

摘要

The apparatus is made from mechanical, electromechanical or electronic components with a sensor for detecting horizontal oscillations or pendulum movement. This sensor has a spring-loaded ball affected by the displacement, or an element measuring electrical resistance. If an electronic sensor is used, it releases current pulses or gives out acoustic, optical or mechanical signals. The apparatus has a plastic case with battery and is attached to the body of an animal, especially an horse, to warn of swivelling gait. ADVANTAGE - Prior warning of this swivelling gait prevents tendon, bone or hoof injury.
