  • Patent number: 5251572
    Abstract: An enclosed cage adapted to transport and transfer animals, particularly primates, whereby the animals are transferred from the cage without any physical contact between the animal and its handler. The cage comprises a back panel slidably connected to the frame and a floor pivotally connected to the front end of the cage and rotatably connected to the base of the back panel. The floor is generally coextensive with the width and height dimensions of the interior portion of the cage. The sliding motion of the back panel causes the floor to raise from its normal horizontal position and sweep through the interior of the cage until it opposes the front opening of the cage thereby effectively forcing the monkey to exit the transport cage.
