ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an alarm and identification pet collar and more particularly pertains to a new pet collar and identification assembly for easily locating a pet which has broken away from the owner.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of an alarm and identification pet collar is known in the prior art. More specifically, an alarm and identification pet collar heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 5,515,033; U.S. Pat. No. 5,523,927; U.S. Pat. No. 5,046,456; U.S. Pat. No. 5,355,839; U.S. Pat. No. 5,815,077; U.S. Pat. No. Des. 377,245; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,967,696.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new pet collar and identification assembly. The inventive device includes a first collar assembly including a first collar member having first and second ends, and also including fasteners being attached to the first and second ends thereof, and further including a size adjustment buckle being mounted to the first collar member; and also includes a linkage assembly including a linkage member having first and second ends and being connected to the first collar member; and further includes a second collar assembly including a second collar member having first and second ends and being connected to the linkage member, and also including fasteners being attached to the first and second ends of the second collar member; and also includes an identification and alarm unit being mounted to the second collar member; and further includes a leash assembly including a leash member having first and second ends and being connected to the linkage member, and also including an eyelet being attached at the first end of the leash member; and also includes connectors for interconnecting the first and second collar members, the leash member and the linkage member.
In these respects, the pet collar and identification assembly according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of easily locating a pet which has broken away from the owner.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of alarm and identification pet collar now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new pet collar and identification assembly construction wherein the same can be utilized for easily locating a pet which has broken away from the owner.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new pet collar and identification assembly which has many of the advantages of the alarm and identification pet collar mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new pet collar and identification assembly which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art alarm and identification pet collar, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a first collar assembly including a first collar member having first and second ends, and also including fasteners being attached to the first and second ends thereof, and further including a size adjustment buckle being mounted to the first collar member; and also includes a linkage assembly including a linkage member having first and second ends and being connected to the first collar member; and further includes a second collar assembly including a second collar member having first and second ends and being connected to the linkage member, and also including fasteners being attached to the first and second ends of the second collar member; and also includes an identification and alarm unit being mounted to the second collar member; and further includes a leash assembly including a leash member having first and second ends and being connected to the linkage member, and also including an eyelet being attached at the first end of the leash member; and also includes connectors for interconnecting the first and second collar members, the leash member and the linkage member.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new pet collar and identification assembly which has many of the advantages of the alarm and identification pet collar mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new pet collar and identification assembly which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art alarm and identification pet collar, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new pet collar and identification assembly which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new pet collar and identification assembly which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new pet collar and identification assembly which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such pet collar and identification assembly economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new pet collar and identification assembly which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new pet collar and identification assembly for easily locating
