Полезная модель относится к легкой промышленности, а более конкретно к изделиям, предназначенным для ухода за животными, преимущественно за кошками, и предназначена для использования при заточки когтей и как лежанка для кошки. Когтеточка для кошек содержит корпус 1 из картона с верхней выемкой 2 и установленный в выемке 2 блок 3 для заточки когтей с возможностью закрепления. Блок 3 для заточки когтей выполнен в виде сотового бумажного заполнителя или, в другой терминологии, сотового картона с размером ячеек сотового заполнителя 4-10 мм. Корпус 1 с верхней выемкой 2 и блок 3 для заточки когтей могут быть выполнены в виде прямого параллелепипеда, то есть корпус 1 выполнен в виде прямого параллелепипеда, верхняя выемка 2 также выполнена в виде прямого параллелепипеда, и блок 3 для заточки когтей выполнен в виде прямого параллелепипеда, соответствующего по размеру верхней выемки 2, для установки в верхнюю выемку 2 с закреплением. Корпус 1 с верхней выемкой 2 и блок 3 для заточки когтей могут быть выполнены в виде прямого цилиндра, то есть корпус 1 выполнен в виде прямого цилиндра, верхняя выемка 2 также выполнена в виде прямого цилиндра, и блок 3 для заточки когтей выполнен в виде прямого цилиндра, соответствующего по размеру верхней выемки 2, для установки в верхнюю выемку 2 с закреплением. Закрепление блока 3 для заточки когтей может быть выполнено с возможностью закрепления и открепления. Технический результат, на достижение которого направлена заявленная полезная модель когтеточка для кошек, состоит в том, что уменьшается количество картона и клея для блока для заточки когтей за счет увеличения и прочности блока для заточки когтей, изготовленного из ячеек сотового бумажного заполнителя.

A transmitter for animal training device capable of switching modes between a rheostatic mode and an intensity selection mode is provided. Switching from rheostatic mode to intensity selection mode is done by fitting a select knob to a volume switch, setting a mode selection switch to a vibrations mode, and operating both an adjust mode select switch and a power switch at the same time. When in intensity selection mode, a user is able to adjust the volume level in multiple stages. When the select knob is fitted to the volume switch and is rotated, a ball plunger engages in grooves of the select knob, so that the select knob is stopped at the volume level a user desires. With adaptation of the select knob or volume knob to the volume switch, vibrations or shock level are adjusted in rheostatic mode or intensity selection mode.

A remotely controlled adjustable equestrian barrier that uses motorized threaded rods located inside hollow support posts to drive mating threaded nuts up or down simultaneously to raise or lower a rail that is supported by rail cups that are attached to each threaded nut. Each post has a vertical slot that allows the rail cup to be attached to the nut and to freely travel up or down along with the mating nut. When the device is turned on, the support cups automatically lower to their lowest point so that the rail starts in its lowest position parallel to the ground. As each rod turns, a cam that is fixed to each rod causes a micro switch to turn on and off for each revolution. A micro processor keeps track of the number of revolutions and turns the drive motors off when the rail reaches the desired height.

Wireless Pet Barrier using RFID

Номер: US20130207803A1
Автор: Charych Harold
Принадлежит: EPC4ROI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

A method of using radio frequency identification (RFID), in particular ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID, is described, which keeps pets from accessing forbidden areas. The pet wears a device which is preferably powered by the animal's own activity, converted to electrical power by a motion harvesting system to recharge a battery. The device uses an RFID reader to detect and identify RFID tags placed at boundaries of areas to which the pet is forbidden to enter, and sets off an alarm to warn the pet if it is approaching such an area. Because the RFID tags are individually identifiable, the forbidden area alarm can be configured to the pet, allowing use in a multiple-pet household. 1. An animal-borne device for controlling access by an animal into an area , comprising:a) a controller comprising a processor and memory;b) an RFID reader coupled to a bidirectional port of the controller; and 'the controller being programmed such that when the RFID reader reads an RFID tag having an identification which is stored in the controller memory, the controller activates the alarm.', 'c) an alarm coupled to an output of the controller;'}2.
