  • Patent number: 4169429
    Abstract: A box-like frame contains a squeeze gate component, a floor and a pair of side frames pivotally secured one to each side of the floor and normally held apart at the upper ends by a latch bar. When a hog or the like enters the gate, it displaces the latch bar and enables the sides to fall inwardly whereupon a rope or cable is connected to the upper ends of the side frames and to an overhead winch. This enables the squeeze gate together with the animal to be lifted clear of the floor for treatment purposes or for weighing by means of a spring scale which is connected between the winch handle and the frame.
