LIGHT UP BUCKLE FOR USE WITH A DOG COLLAR
20230083166 · 2023-03-16 ·

The invention discloses a light up buckle for use with a dog collar. This buckle design comprises a Plastic Computer Board (PCB) which incorporates LED's, a mini-USB port, a switch and a rechargeable battery. The lithium-ion battery is housed within the buckle assembly and is protected from water by means of rubber seals when the buckle is in the closed or locked position.

The main components are molded from translucent plastic, to allow the LED's to illuminate the assembly when switched on. There are multiple settings for the LED's to allow for a steady illumination or various flashing/pulsing settings. The buckle is intended for illumination at night to aid the visibility of an owner's canine that wears the buckle on the collar.

The buckle can be fitted onto a collar strap or body harness and so has multiple uses and applications.

The buckle design is rounded and has smooth edges to ensure no discomfort is experienced by the canine. There is a trigger switch located on the underside of the buckle which is operated by pressing a rubber button that protrudes from the plastic casing.

The entire assembly is water-resistant, by means of two rubber components that interlock when the buckle is closed. The pressure between these two rubber plugs ensures water cannot get access to the electronics and battery.

Leash Integrated Pet Collar Device
20230130237 · 2023-04-27 ·

The present invention relates to a pet collar device capable of securing a leash. In one embodiment, the leash having a static portion and a retractable line portion integrally attached to the collar and is housed in a housing. A free end of the leash is accessible to a user and has a loop fastener which is releasably fastened to a hook fastener positioned on the collar. The leash is extended by pulling the retractable line from an opening of the housing to expand the length of the leash for use by a user. In another embodiment, the leash is stored in a zippered pouch, wherein the pouch is attached to the collar and includes a zippered fastener for accessing the stored leash. One end of the leash is attached to the collar and the opposite free end is accessible for pulling out the leash from the pouch.

Piezoelectric detection coupling of a bark collar

A collar unit device is described comprising a receiving cavity for receiving a metal electrode probe, wherein at least one elastomeric ring encircles the metal electrode probe, wherein the at least one elastomeric ring mechanically isolates the metal electrode probe from the receiving cavity. The device includes a piezoelectric element. The device includes a retainer component for maintaining the piezoelectric element in a secured position, wherein the secured position comprises the piezoelectric element maintaining contact with the metal electrode probe. The device includes the metal electrode probe for detecting vibrations of one or more acoustic events and transferring the vibrations to the piezoelectric element through the contact, the piezoelectric element for receiving the vibrations of one or more acoustic events, the receiving the vibrations including generating an electrical signal proportional to the frequency and magnitude of the vibrations, and at least one processor for receiving and processing the electrical signal.

PET HARNESS

The invention comprises a lightweight, simple and comfortable pet harness with waste bag dispensing and storage pockets, and reflective piping on the harness edges and zipper pockets.

Animal training device that controls stimulus using proportional pressure-based input

A system for training animals includes a hand-held device and a remote device, where the remote device applies a stimulus when a user presses a button or trigger on the hand-held device. The amount of pressure applied is measured by a pressure sensitive transducer and transformed into proportional transducer signals. These transducer signals are transmitted to the remote device, which then applies a stimulus to an animal being trained. The amplitude of the applied stimulus corresponds to the amplitude of the transducer signals; a trainer can thus precisely control the intensity of the stimulus by applying and relieving pressure on the button. The type of stimulus applied is controlled based on the position of a rotary switch on the hand-held device. Sensor data generated by specialized sensors in the remote device may be transmitted to the hand-held device to provide the user with sensory feedback.
