Abstract

This is a device for supporting an animal clamp (100) fixing a small laboratory animal in a specified position with respect to a testing apparatus (300). A base board (2) is fixed to the testing apparatus (300). An elevating board (4) is raised or lowered by jacks (31, 32) installed between it and base board (2), and a clamp mounting board (8) is tilted by jack (61) and sliding member (62) installed between it and elevating board (4). As a result, the height position and inclination angle of the animal clamp (100) mounted on the clamp mounting board (8) are determined, and they may be finely adjusted by properly manipulating the jacks (31, 32, 61). The animal clamp (100) does not slip off the clamp mounting board (8) because of the clamp slip preventive flange piece (7).
