ABSTRACT:
Pet grooming restraint apparatus (20, FIG.1and82, FIG.5) with an elongate, overhead frame member (22) and support assemblies (56, 54and82, 84, 86) for supporting the overhead frame member above an underlying table (32) provide lateral support to prevent inadvertent tipping while providing good access to a pet (36) through spaces49, 57and83). Each support assembly (52, 54) in one embodiment (20) has a pair of laterally spaced support members (56, 58) connected to opposite sides (28, 30) of the overhead frame member (22) at each end (24, 26) of the overhead frame member (22) that extend laterally outwardly from each other and downwardly to distal ends (64, 66). The distal ends are attached to opposite ends of a foot member (74), which, in turn, is attached to table (32). In another embodiment (82), lateral support is provided by an L-shaped support member assembly (81) while the opposite ends of the overhead frame member (22) are supported by vertical support members (84, 86) directly underlying opposite ends (24, 26) of the overhead frame member.
