Abstract

The task of the innovation is the reliable protection for animal paws / runs, against pollution, rain, road salt, frost, as well as the protection of wounds. Foreleg Consists of a paw-shaped cover and is equipped with nubs on the sole (see drawing 2 no. 6). The middle part consists of a protective sleeve (see drawing 2 no. 2). The innovation consists in the upper part, here is a three-point belt system (see drawing 2 Nos. 3, 4 and 5), which is attached to the protective sleeve used. In addition, this protection in the paw region is equipped with a holding device / Velcro closure (see drawing 2 no. 7). Back: The material is identical to the protection for forelegs, the shape of the protection is adapted to the conical shape of the hind leg. The main difference is the type of attachment. Here straps with fastener and Velcro fastened on the outside (see drawing 4 nos. 1 and 5) are attached to the hind legs and fixed over the croup of the animal by means of another strap (connecting strap, see drawing 4 no. 7). Thus, lateral slipping is prevented. To prevent it from slipping backwards, another belt (back strap, see drawing 4 no. 2) was attached in the middle of the connection belt, which runs straight over the back of the animal and is fastened to the collar of the animal by means of a snap hook (see drawing 4 no becomes. A chest belt (see drawing 4 no. 3) provides additional stability. The upper edge of the protective sleeve was provided with Velcro, so the protective sleeve can be easily climbed. This wound protection device provides perfect protection for the front and hind legs. It is designed so that it can be used on both sides and thus cost-effectively.

Description

The innovation relates to a paw-front and rear run protection for small and farm animals, especially dogs.

The object of the present innovation is to provide reliable protection for animal paws / runs against pollution, rain, the penetration of the road salt commonly used in winter, frost, and the protection of wounds on Tierpfoten- / runs. This turned out to be very difficult in the past, especially in hind legs, due to the conical nature of the barrel.

A common type of injury, especially the cruciate ligament tear in dogs, is always accompanied by a large wound scar. So far, it has not been possible to effectively prevent these surgical scars, safe from environmental influences and / or the nibbling of staples or the licking of the wounds (resulting in larger foci of infection) by the animal itself.

Thanks to this novel protection, this is no longer a problem and can be used for all four-legged species, depending on their size.

Here is presented a safe and optimal paw / run protection,

Guard / forward course:

Device which in the lower part of one of the paw shape adapted cover (protective shoe) made of tear-resistant and waterproof plastic (here, for example, leather) and the sole is additionally equipped with studs to increase the slipper / stability of the paw.

The middle part (protective sleeve) is also made of tear-resistant and waterproof fabric (here polyester, for example), adapted to the respective animal run in terms of size and equipped with a soft lining (eg softshell).

The main innovation of the product is now in the upper part. Here, a three-point belt system is used for attachment.

This novel system is fixed to the upper edge of the protective sleeve and attached by means of a click fastener on the back of the animal. In addition, this protection in the paw and underflow area with Velcro straps for even better grip on the animal paw / run, has been equipped.

Fender / rear drive:

Here the material and the structure are identical, with the protection device for forelegs. The shape of the protection is however adapted to the conical shape of the hind leg

The main difference is now in the type of attachment, this was now a novel Gurttragesystem developed and proceeded as follows,
On both hindlegs each a size-tailored belt is attached to the outside sewn Velcro and fixed by means of another belt (Verbindungsgurt), over the croup of the animal. Thus, a lateral slipping of the straps is not possible

In order to prevent slipping backwards (over the animal's bump, when setting and laying), another belt (back belt) was now attached to the center of the connection belt, which runs straight over the back of the animal and attached to the collar of the animal by means of carabiner hooks becomes.

Furthermore, another strap (chest strap) around the chest of the animal provides additional stability.

In addition, the outer part of the protective sleeve was also provided at the upper edge by means of Velcro, so that the protective cover can be easily angeklettet.

Thus, for the first time a protection for front and rear legs was created, which completely eliminates the risk of slipping and thus provides optimum protection and safety. For this reason, this product should be of great interest not only in the private sector, but above all, for veterinary practices and animal pawls. This protection device is designed so that it can be used on both sides and thus cheaper. The production of the novel protection system is likely to be relatively cheap, especially in mass production. The use of an additional harness is not necessary here. Components as well as intended material: Protective footwear: hard-wearing material (leather or similar) with knobs in the lower paw area Protective sleeve: Softshell, Polyester o. Ä. Material closure: Click closure o. Ä. three-point belt: firm and elastic harness Size adjustment: by means of plastic adjustment system Fasteners: Velcro straps, snap hooks

Claims (8)

Device which in the lower part of one of the paw shape adapted cover (protective shoe), made of tear-resistant and waterproof plastic (here, for example, leather) and the sole is additionally equipped with knobs. The middle part (protective sleeve) is firmly sewn to the protective shoe and is also made of tear-resistant and waterproof, breathable fabric. This will be adapted to the respective animal race in terms of size. The three-point-belt system is fixed to the upper edge of the protective sleeve for attachment, fastened by means of click fasteners and provided with sliding elements for the purpose of size adjustment. In addition, this protection in the paw and underflow area has been equipped with Velcro straps for even better support on the animal paw / run. On both hindlegs each a tailored size belt, attached with externally sewn Velcro and fixed by means of another strap (Verbindungsgurt), over the croup of the animal The back strap which leads straight over the back of the animal is attached by means of snap hooks on the collar of the animal. The chest strap is placed around the chest of the animal and thus provides additional stability. The outer part of the protective sleeve is also provided at the upper edge by means of Velcro, whereby the protective sleeve can be easily angeklettet.
