Abstract

A modular base for an animal cage comprising at least a first base module, at least a second base module and constraining elements configured to stably constrain the first base module and the second base module. In particular, the constraining elements extend along a direction that is transverse, preferably perpendicular, to a main lying plane of the modular base so as to generate a geometric interference to a reciprocal movement between the first base module and the second base module along a direction parallel to the main lying plane. The modular base further comprises sealing elements that are active or activatable on the constraining elements to prevent a leakage of fluid from the modular base.

Abstract

Described is an automatic safety spring clip with rapid coupling and release consisting of a main body (33) which on one side presents means of fixing to a ring (31) connectable to a cable or a cord or similar and on the other side is equipped with a fork-shaped "invite" area defined by appendices (34, 35) which allow the rapid centring of the spring clip on the object to be coupled. The spring clip comprises a first element (36) one end of which is shaped like a hook (37) which interferes in the "invite" area of the main body, the first element being mobile and rotating around a pin (38) restrained to the main body (33); the first element (36) is equipped with a housing (42) in proximity to the pin (38), and a second element (41), or operating button, opposite the pervious element with respect to the longitudinal centreline of the main body (33), mobile and rotating around a second pin (40) restrained to the main body (33), the second element being placed in elastic contrast (39) and provided with a mechanical profile consisting of a tooth (43) which interacts with the housing (42) of the first element (36) in order to move the latter from an open position to a closed position and vice versa, the second element thus taking on the role of a lever control with respect to the first element.

Abstract

A retractable leash (10) comprises an internally hollow casing or frame made from metal or synthetic material, forming a handle (11) with which to grip, control and hold the leash, a winding drum (12) subjected to the action of first elastic means and wound around which is a cord or tape whose end is provided with means for fixing the cord or tape to the collar of a pet; said winding drum (12) having a continuous circular surface (28) and a series of openings (30) arranged radially and defined by a series of teeth (29), also comprising a first braking mechanism (21, 23) in which a pad (23) acts by friction against said circular surface (28) of said winding drum (12) and a second blocking mechanism (25, 15, 16) in which an element (16) pushed by second elastic means (19) enters one of said openings (30) causing the rotation of said winding drum (12) to stop. The leash also comprises a control (13) provided with a manually activated pushbutton (14) subjected to the action of third elastic means (19). Said control (13) is equipped with a cursor (15) fixed to said pushbutton (14), mobile linearly between two predetermined positions, and which acts on one hand on said braking mechanism so the pressure on the pushbutton (14) determines the progressive interference of said pad (23) with said circular surface (28), and on the other on a component for the release (25, 27) of the blocking mechanism which is activated by continued pressure on said pushbutton (14), causing immediate movement of the element (16) pushed by said second elastic means inside one of said openings (30).

Abstract

A retractable pet leash comprises a body (10) consisting of a casing including a handle (11) for gripping the leash with one hand, inside the protective guard there being a winding device (12) of the toothed wheel type, intercepted by a brake mechanism activated by means of a pushbutton (13) which pushes down a plunger (14) whose lower end is designed to enter the winding device between two of its teeth (15) positioned on the circumference, and in which said winding device (12) allows the winding and unwinding of a cord or tape (16) which passes through an opening (17) in the front part of the casing of the leash. Said leash further comprises a device (18) having a fork-type selector (19) which is interposed between the pushbutton and the winding device, said fork acting in combination with a stop element such as an enlargement (20) positioned at a predetermined distance along the cord (16) or tape. The fork-type selector (19) is hinged on a pin (23) in order to form a lever, the other end of which forms an appendix (24) co-operating with a slide element (25) shaped in such a way as to penetrate between two consecutive teeth (15) of the winding device (12).

Abstract

The invention relates to an animal leash, in which a drum reel (2) actuates under the effect of a return spring (4) for automatically reeling in a leash (3) leading to the housing (1). The drum reel (2) can be locked on one side by a manually actuatable locking key (6). An interlocking device (20) interacting with the locking key (6) is part of a locking lever (19) that can be pivoted and balanced on the drum reel, about a pivoting axis, and a tongue (7) that extends in the direction of the periphery of the drum reel (2) ends on said locking key (6). Said arrangement is advantageous in that the drum reel can turn relatively quietly because, due to the balanced mounting, the locking lever does not recoil directly behind the locking key during the return movement which produces grating noises.
