ABSTRACT:
An annular collar for surrounding the neck of an animal to project radially outward a sufficient distance to restrain the animal against escaping under or through fence enclosures, for glowing or reflecting light in the dark, and for preventing scratching of the animal's ears, is formed from complementary flat rigid U-shaped mats of plastic material or the like, a pivot joining a leg of each mat in overlapped relation accommodating swinging of the mats from a closed annular position with the other legs overlapped to an open position with these other legs spaced apart and with fasteners on these other legs to hold them in select overlapped positions for controlling the size of the collar. The pivoted together overlapped leg portions have a plurality of pivot receiving holes to vary the extent of overlap to increase the size range of the collar. The other free ends of the mats preferably have pockets containing "Velcro" strips to interlock at selected positions for also controlling the size of the collar. The mats have semi-circular inner and outer peripheries with legs projecting beyond the diameter of the semi-circle which are shaped to lie within the complete annulus of the collar in its many adjustable size positions to eliminate projecting ears or tabs beyond the annulus of the collar in its closed condition. The bottoms of the "Velcro" receiving pockets are flexible to facilitate pressing of the "Velcro" strips into locked condition and to assist peeling the strips apart.
