ABSTRACT:
A collar particularly adapted for animals and characterized by an improved reflective surface is provided. An elongated, flexible strip of clear extruded plastic has a pocket which extends through a convex arc of at least ninety degrees. A strip of light-reflective material is sealed in the pocket so as to present a convex light-reflective surface. By sealing the reflective material within the transparent pocket, it is not possible for the animal to wear away the light-reflective surface and dirt and other foreign materials cannot diminish its light-reflective ability. In one embodiment the flexible strip is sealed at both ends and a buckle is secured while complemental eyelets are provided for presenting means to secure the collar around the animal. In another embodiment, an elongated slot is provided along the length of the collar and is adapted to receive a conventional collar thereby permitting the reflective collar to be slipped on and off and worn only when needed.
