Abstract
An animal gambrel apparatus having a three piece telescoping spreader bar. The center section of the spreader bar has a telescoping section engaged in each end of the center section, and each end of the center section has an internally mounted retention member that cooperates with an externally mounted stop member on the proximal end of each telescoping section to prevent the telescoping sections from being dislodged from the center section. A locking mechanism is attached to the proximal end of one of the telescoping sections to bias and selectively lock and maintain the sections of the spreader bar in an extended condition. The extended condition is released by turning the spreader bar upside down to disengage the locking mechanism.
Claims8
A collapsible animal gambrel comprising:
- an elongated hollow center section having a first distal end and a second distal end, the hollow center section having an interior wall surface and an exterior wall surface,
- a first telescoping end section having a proximal end and a distal end,
- a second telescoping end section having a proximal end and a distal end,
- the first distal end of the center section receiving the proximal end of the first end section in telescoping relationship,
- the second distal end of the center section receiving the proximal end of the second end section in telescoping relationship,
- the first telescoping end section and the second telescoping end section having selectively engaging locking means to lock the first telescoping end section and the second telescoping end section in an open telescoped condition with respect to the center section, and
- the locking means comprises an elongated locking rod pivotally attached to the proximal end of one of the telescoping end sections, the locking rod selectively engaging the proximal end of the other telescoping end section to lock the telescoping end sections in an open telescoped condition.
