A pull handle is engaged to and is selectively extensible from the housing. The pull handle can be grasped in a hand of a user, positioning the user to pull on the pull handle to locomote the housing across a surface.

A collapsible pet travel crate for use with at least one car seat includes an internal frame and a housing. The internal frame has two side members and four foldable members extending between the side members. Each side member has an upright rear portion. Each foldable members a first piece and a second piece coupled to the first piece through a lockable hinge. Each first piece is coupled to one side member through a first pivot hinge. Each second piece is coupled to the other side member through a second pivot hinge. The housing includes two oppositely disposed side panels and a central panel. Each side panel also has an upper mounting slot and a lower mounting slot. The housing includes a front mounting strap. The car seat belt extends through the first and second slots and across the front surface of the rear portions of the two side members.

A pet restraint system includes a vehicle floor and a vehicle seat supported by the vehicle floor. The vehicle seat defines a seat-rearward direction. A pet restraint device includes a frame having a lower portion disposed on the vehicle floor and an upper portion supported by the lower portion.

The partition is telescopic in the seat-rearward direction.

The present invention provides a single point restraining system for pets. The system is designed to be used with an automotive safety belt restraining system. A first end of the system is a housing having tensioning components therein with the housing having a standard male seat belt connector. An extendable and retractable belt is anchored within the housing, the belt having a connecting end formed by looping a length of material around a male connector. A retraction limiting component is attached to the connecting end of the belt to prevent damage thereto. The housing can be attached to a seat belt receiver and the belt may have a collar attachment for connection to a pet collar.

Disclosed herein is a pet carrier for transporting a pet in a vehicle. The pet carrier includes a housing comprising a back wall, a front wall opposite the back wall, a first side wall, a second side wall opposite the first side wall, a top wall, a bottom wall opposite the top wall, and a door formed in at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall. At least one dimension of the housing is adjustable. The pet carrier also includes a wall reinforcement system. The wall reinforcement system includes at least one front reinforcement strap, coupled to and extending across the front wall, and side reinforcement straps each, coupled to and extending across corresponding ones of the first side wall and the second side wall. The at least one front reinforcement strap is coupled to the side reinforcement straps.

A portable pet carrier is configured to allow the user to carry pet during travel, is disclosed. The pet carrier or carrier device comprises a sturdy handle at its top for easy carrying by the user while travelling. The carrier is having a cage door at its front for entry and exit of the pet.

The disclosed technology includes self-inflating animal harness systems. The self-inflating harness system can include a harness configured to be secured to an animal, an airbag attached to the harness and configured to inflate to protect the animal, and a controller in communication with the airbag. The controller can be configured to receive data from one or more sensors and determine, based on the received data, whether the data is indicative of a collision. In response to determining that the data is indicative of a collision, the controller can be configured to output a control signal to the airbag to cause the airbag to inflate.

An electrosurgical forceps includes first and second shaft members and first and second jaw members extending distally from the respective first and second shaft members. A pivot couples the first and second shaft members with one another such that the first and second shaft members are movable relative to one another between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position to move the first and second jaw members relative to one another between an open position and a closed position. The jaw members are configured to facilitate tissue treatment, tissue division, and blunt tissue dissection.
