Patent

CA 2448340

An antenna system for use in processing of livestock carcasses including in combination, antenna means adapted to transmit and receive signals from transponders in or on carcasses moving on a conveyer system, support means adapted to support the antenna, pivoting means adapted to enable the antenna to pivot on the support means as each carcass comes into contact with the antenna, wherein in operation, the pivoting action enables a wiping contact to be maintained between the antenna and a carcass sufficient to obtain a positive reading of the transponder irrespective of a rotational and/or angular displacement of the carcass about a vertical axis without causing dislodgment of the carcass from the conveyer system or bruising of the carcass.

L'invention concerne un système d'antenne que l'on peut utiliser dans le traitement de carcasses de bétail, comprenant, de manière combinée, des dispositifs d'antenne conçus pour émettre et recevoir des signaux en provenance de transpondeurs placés dans ou sur des carcasses en mouvement sur un système transporteur, des supports d'antenne, des dispositifs de pivotement qui permettent à l'antenne de tourner sur les supports à mesure que chaque carcasse entre en contact avec ladite antenne. En fonctionnement, le pivotement permet de maintenir un contact d'essuyage suffisant entre l'antenne et la carcasse, ce qui facilite une lecture positive du transpondeur, indépendamment du déplacement rotatoire et/ou angulaire de la carcasse autour d'un axe vertical sans provoquer le délogement de ladite carcasse du système transporteur ou son écrasement.
