Patent ID: 6910846

Claim:
A slat replacement system for removing damaged slats and inserting new slats for an animal pen, the slat replacement system comprising: a base assembly being adapted for resting on a floor of the animal pen; a frame member being rotatably coupled to said base assembly; a motor assembly being operationally coupled to a drive assembly such that said motor assembly is for actuating said drive assembly, said motor assembly and said drive assembly being coupled to said frame member, said drive assembly being operationally coupled to said base assembly such that said drive assembly rotates said frame member with respect to said base assembly when said drive assembly is actuated by the user; a lifting assembly being pivotally coupled to said frame member, said lifting assembly being operationally coupled to said drive assembly such that said drive assembly is for pivoting said lifting assembly with respect to said frame member, said lifting assembly being adapted for being coupled to one of the slats for facilitating lifting and moving of one of the slats; a control assembly being operationally coupled to said drive assembly, said control assembly actuating said drive assembly for controlling rotation of said frame member with respect to said base assembly and pivoting of said lifting assembly with respect to said frame member when said control assembly is actuated by a user; said base assembly comprising a base plate and a transition cog wheel, said transition cog wheel being coupled to said base assembly, said transition cog wheel being rotatably coupled to said frame member, said drive assembly comprising a rotational cog wheel such that said rotational cog wheel is rotatable with respect to said frame member, said rotational cog wheel of said drive assembly being operationally coupled to said transition cog wheel such that rotation of said rotation cog wheel rotates said frame member with respect to said base plate; said base assembly comprising a plurality of sets of support members, each of said sets of support members being coupled to said base plate such that one of said sets of support members is positioned oppositely the other of said support members, each of said sets of support members being adapted for engaging the floor of the animal pen for supporting said base plate from the floor of the animal pen; and said base assembly comprising a plurality of leg members, each of said leg members being pivotally coupled to said base plate such that each of said leg members is pivotal between a stored position and a deployed position, each of said leg members being positioned between said sets of support members, each of said leg members being adapted for engaging the floor of the animal pen when each of said leg members is in said deployed position for providing support for said base plate.
