Dog scratcher refers to a cylindrical body (1) that is fixed to a base (5) which in turn is fixed to the wall, in the cylindrical body (1), curved at 900 bristles (4) and (4A ); it is possible to adjust the height of the cylinder (1) according to the dog through the holes (2) so that the dog itself scratches or massages when passing through the bristles (4) and (4A).

Description

"Dog Scratcher"

It is the present invention patent application of a novel and revolutionary "Dog Scratcher", the present invention relates to

to a cylindrical body to which bristles are distributed, so that the dog himself scratches when passing to his bristles.

It has been observed that dogs rub their body on rough surfaces to scratch, especially in areas of their body that can not reach with their paws or muzzle, these places walls, columns, gates, etc; may present a risk of cuts and irritation to animal skin. In addition to scratching dogs usually like to be petted so they resort to people around them to pet it.

In view of these problems and for the purpose of overcoming them the dog scratcher, which is briefly a cylindrical body with bristles that can be fixed to the wall and adjusted to the height of the dog, was developed. In this way the dog scratcher solves the problems experienced, since the dog can scratch under the flexible, non-scratching scratches, and at the same time it scratches the animal's skin and at the same time it scratches itself.

In the following, the invention is explained with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which they are shown by way of illustration and not limitation:

The "Dog Scratcher" object of this patent application consists essentially of a partially bent and 90 ° bent cylinder (1) having the holes (2) for adjusting the height according to the size of the dog; the hole (3) is used to leave the spacer in a disused position (fig.4); the bristles (4) and (4A) which will scratch the side and the dog back are attached to the cylinder (1).

The cylinder (1) is fixed to the base (5) which has the flat face (6) to abut the wall (not shown). The base (5) has two slots (7) and (7A) to allow the screws (8) and (8A) to be inserted (fig.3) into the recessed through holes (9) and (9A) thus fixing them to the wall; the slot (10) serves as a relief for the bristle (4) to flow freely therebetween, the hole (11) is intended to receive the pin (12) to secure the cylinder (1) to the base (5) by means of the holes (11) , (2) in the position of use, when disused to gain space, the cylinder (1) will be fixed between the pin (12) and the holes (11) and (3) according to (fig.4).

Of course, the dog scratcher with such a construction can be constructed in various sizes to suit various types of dogs, as well as can be used with other animals.
