Abstract

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for interactive fetching for one or more participants, such as pets. In one implementation, a projectile, such as a ball, is received in a receiver and transported through an opening into a feeder of a randomizer. One of a plurality of chutes is randomly selected using gravity, and the projectile is transported from the feeder into the selected chute. The chute generates a smooth roll along a ramp to a port, from which the projectile is ejected along an ejection path for the participant to retrieve.

IPC Classes  ?

• A01K 15/02 - Training or exercising equipment, e.g. mazes or labyrinths for animals
• A63B 69/00 - Training appliances or apparatus for special sports
• A63B 69/40 - Stationarily-arranged devices for projecting balls

Abstract

A pet apparatus is provided which includes a housing including internal walls forming a cavity. The internal walls include a plurality of apertures. One or more panels are disposed within the cavity. Each of the panels includes at least one pocket configured to receive a toy and/or a treat. Toggles are coupled with each of the panels and are configured to be inserted into the plurality of apertures to removably couple the panels with the housing.

Abstract

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems, apparatuses, and methods for exercising and entertaining a pet. In one implementation, a pet exercise and entertainment device includes a launch funnel for launching projectiles for a pet to retrieve. The launch funnel has a feeder and a chute. The feeder is configured to receive a projectile and transport the projectile to an intake end of the chute. A sensor is configured to sense the projectile in the intake end of the chute and to command one or more motors to power up in response to sensing the projectile. An actuator is configured to release the projectile from the intake end of the chute into the launch end of the chute after a pre-determined time has elapsed. One or more wheels, rotated by the one or more motors, are configured to launch the projectile from the launch end of the chute.
