Mobile configurable animal trap system
09826710 · 2017-11-28 ·

A portable, trapping system for capturing and non-lethally retaining a large number of large animals, such as wild horses or feral hogs. A specialized trailer aligns and secures deployable corral components for transportation. The corral comprises a modular fence erected on-site from multiple fence panels that are hinged together by pinning. The fence panels are configured with voids to prevent animal climbing. A gate with a remotely actuated trap door is similarly pinned between adjacent fence panels. The gate threshold is concealable. Stakes secure panels to the ground, forming a stable enclosure. The trailer comprises a rigid confining frame structure adapted to constrain and transport corral components. When the corral is disassembled, multiple individual fence panels are slidably captivated between spaced apart upper and lower ceiling and floor channels, being maintained in a parallel and stable configuration. Separate upper and lower aligned channels constrain the gate assembly during transportation.

Animal repelling device
11668113 · 2023-06-06 · ·

An animal repelling device is disclosed that may include a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket, each of which includes an upper section and a lower section. The upper section may include a vertical tab, a notch formed in the vertical tab, and ribs coupled to opposing sides of the vertical tab. The lower section may include a foot coupled to a sidewall, the sidewall comprising a curved inner surface configured to mateably couple with a fence. A roller may be disposed between, be rotatably coupled to, and extend axially between, the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket, the roller comprising an aligner that biases the roller back to an initial at rest position. An attachment clip may be releasably coupled to the notch of the vertical tab.

Smart Stake
20170316681 · 2017-11-02 ·

Electrical fence lines provide an electromagnetic barrier to deter crossing. This barrier becomes compromised by lack of power, grounding of the powered lines, and/or loss of upright structure. Although some monitoring systems use audio and visual alerts (ie horns and blinking lights), they require immediate observation for immediate attention. Radio wave alerts are limited in range and receivers. Cellular phone networks are sometimes used with telecommunication monitoring systems but require specific carriers to communicate to certain cellular devices based on the technology (ie GSM, CDMA) used by the carrier. With the Smart Stake, the Internet and any communications server can be used to send alerts to any cellular device, email address, or networked device on the conditions of the electric fence.

Device for controlling the movement of an animal
09795119 · 2017-10-24 ·

A device for controlling an animal is provided, the device comprising a support to be worn by the animal; a first contact member mounted on the support and disposed in a position for contacting an electric fence when the device is being worn by the animal; a second contact member, mounted on the support and in electrical contact with the first contact member, the second contact member being disposed on the support to be in contact with the animal when the device is being worn by the animal; whereby, in use, an electrical current is conducted from the first contact member to the second contact member and an electric shock provided to the animal at the site of the second contact member when contact is made between the first contact member and an electric fence by the animal. The device is particularly suitable for controlling the movements of a horse or a pony. The device is preferably formed as a rug, blanket or a vest to be worn by the animal.

Migration barriers, systems and methods
09788531 · 2017-10-17 · ·

A migration barrier includes a first barrier wall and a second barrier wall wherein at least one of the first and second barrier walls together provide a stable base structure that maintains the barrier assembly in an upright, standing position.

Pet ramp system

A pet ramp system has a central pier and at least one ramp with an axle that is received in an axle receiver disposed near the top of the pier. The axle is disposed inwardly, in both a fore and aft direction and in a transverse direction, from a base perimeter of the pier. The pier's axle receiver(s) permit installation of the ramp axle when the ramp is in a vertical orientation, but the receiver(s) will not permit separation of the ramp from the pier when in use.

ANIMAL CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS
