Description

The invention relates to a device for contraception in pets and livestock, especially for contraception in bitches, consisting of a pair of pants, the pants having a collar and the federal government is assigned a securing means, so that the pants can be fixed to the animal, and with Recesses for the hind legs and the tail of the animal is provided.

Many devices in the form of pants or panties are known from the prior art, which find their application especially during the ovulation of the animal. For this purpose, the trousers are more or less provided as diaper pants and with or without additional funds for the absorption of excreta. It is also known to form such diaper pants as disposable or reusable pants.

Although the known devices have proven themselves, but above all serve the hygiene needs of the owners of home and / or farm animals. They have little or no ability to allow the animal to behave as naturally and instinctively as possible. For example, an undisturbed loosening with such a closed diaper concepts is not possible without the human having to intervene to help. In addition, especially the disposable pants devices are designed as pure consumables, they are thus resources burdensome and costly.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pair of pants for contraception, which overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages, and allows the most animal-appropriate behavior during ovulation.

This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1, in particular by a pair of pants which is associated with an opening in the region of the vulva and the opening has at its edge region on the inside of the pants a hem which fits with a recess on the inside the pants associated closure is releasably connected.

Through these measures, a device is created that allows the animal the greatest possible freedom of movement and a natural behavior during ovulation. Furthermore, this can effectively prevent the penetration of the vulva of the animal.

Furthermore, the device according to the invention allows protection against the licking of the animal and its conspecifics in the case of injuries to the genital area.

Further advantageous measures are described in the subclaims. Thus, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hem is designed as a Velcro tape or loop tape.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the closure has a seam, which is formed as a Velcro or Velcro tape. As a result, he can be brought into operative connection with the Velcro or Velcro strip of the hem on the inside of the pants. Furthermore, this makes it possible to quickly and easily change the closure, if necessary, without having to replace the entire pants.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention, the closure consists of a mesh, wherein the mesh size of the closure is designed so that the secretion of animal secretions is possible without restriction. As a result, a secretion of secretions through the closure is made possible without this would affect the operational readiness of the device.

So that the closure does not give way when pressurized and can be pressed into the vulva in the event of a copulation attempt, in another particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the closure consists of a non-elastic plastic fabric.

According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, the plastic fabric has meshes, which are formed so that they contract when pressure is applied to the closure. The meshes are woven so that they contract under pressure as long as the pressurization continues. The mesh size of the closure is designed such that a male's penis can not reach and / or penetrate the vulva.

Furthermore, it is envisaged to impregnate the mesh of the closure with a spermicide or to coat it with a spermicide.

It is particularly advantageous that the closure is washable and can be reused. The reusability keeps the follow-up costs low, is environmentally friendly and resources are sparing.

Another particular advantage is that the fabric of the cover is chemically and physically stable. For this purpose, it is envisaged to form the closure of a plastic fabric which consists of polytetrafluoroethylene or polypropylene or polyurethane or polyethylene or a polyamide or a mixture of the aforementioned plastics.

Hereinafter, the invention will be described in more detail based on an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings; it shows:

1 the schematic representation of the top of the device according to the invention in plan view;

2 a schematic representation of the device according to the invention in side view;

3 a schematic representation in a view from below of the device according to the invention;

4 a schematic representation in a plan view of the closure according to the invention in detail.

The in the 1 illustrated device 10 consists essentially of a pair of pants 11 , Pants 11 is a covenant 11 and recesses 14 . 14a . 14b and 14c for the trunk of the animal (not shown), the tail and the two hind legs assigned. In the covenant 12 is a safety device 13 as provided in the 2 is shown.

With the securing means 13 can the pants 11 be set on the trunk of an animal. The securing means 13 is designed in this embodiment as a snap closure. Also conceivable are zippers, snap fasteners or hooks and eyes, as well as lace and Velcro fasteners.

As the 2 further shows, is the pants 11 in the use position below with an opening 15 Mistake. The opening 15 can from the inside 16 pants 11 with a lock 17 be covered or closed.

3 is a view in use position seen from below. In this view it becomes clear that the opening 15 is located in the area of the vulva of the animal. The opening 15 is with the lock 17 locked. The lock 17 is a hem 18 assigned. The hem 18 can with the border area 19 the opening 15 be detachably connected via an unillustrated connection means. As a connecting agent, a Velcro-loop combination proved to be particularly suitable. Here, the Velcro and / or Velcro the hem 18 or the border area 19 be assigned.

Important in this context is that the shutter 17 on the inside 16 the pants in the hem 18 and border area 19 is attached.

As the 3 shows further, the closure points 17 in this embodiment, a central area 20 on that with a mesh-like fabric 21 is provided and the opening 15 covers.

4 is a detail view of the lock 17 and shows the hem 18 which can be either Velcro or looped. In the central area 20 of the lock 17 is a mesh-like fabric 21 provided that firmly with the hem 18 connected is.
