Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of accessories for pets, in particular four-legged animals.
  • the present invention relates to a garment which can be worn by a four-legged animal, for example to protect it from the cold and/or shelter it from the rain.
  • the current garments which may be worn by a four-legged domestic animal, for example to protect it from the cold and/or shelter it from the rain, substantially consist of capes made of a flexible and possibly waterproof material to be applied on the back of the animal. When they are worn by a dog, said capes generally extend from the withers to the tail and on both sides of the animal so as to at least partially encircle the torso thereof.
  • All capes are provided with means by means of which they are reversibly connectable to an animal, usually at the legs and/or the torso.
  • Said means usually consist of elasticized slots in which the legs of the animal are to be introduced and/or adjustable belts to be wrapped about the torso thereof.
  • animals often are reluctant to wear garments and they put up an even greater struggle if their tail and/or legs are to be introduced into specific slots.
  • the object of the present invention is a garment which is applicable to (i.e. which can be worn by) a four-legged animal, for example to protect it from the cold and/or shelter it from the rain, said garment comprising:
  • connection means comprise a collar connected to said cape and reversibly applicable to the neck of a four-legged animal.
  • the term“reversibly applicable” means that the collar is applicable to the neck of an animal and removable from the latter an indefinite number of times
  • said collar including a seat where said cape can be wholly accommodated, and from which it is at least partially extractable, when said cape is folded onto itself.
  • the garment the object of the invention substantially is a collar incorporating an extractable cape therefrom when needed.
  • a “different garment” advantageously does not require being applied to the animal in case of cold and/or rain.
  • the cape simply requires extracting from the collar. Therefore, the animal puts up less of a struggle when the cape is applied.
  • said collar is hollow for at least a length thereof so as to comprise, at said length:
  • said cape is connected to said outer wall inside said cavity
  • said cavity at least partially corresponding to said seat.
  • the collar serves as container where the cape, folded onto itself, can be accommodated when it is not being used.
  • said collar comprises at least one inner wall accommodated in said cavity and connected to said outer wall so as to delimit, together with the latter, a portion of said cavity which is accessible by means of said opening,
  • said cape being connected to said outer wall or said inner wall inside said cavity portion
  • said cavity portion at least partially corresponding to said seat.
  • the collar is provided with a pocket where the cape, folded onto itself, can be accommodated when it is not being used.
  • said collar comprises reversible closure means of said opening (i.e. means by means of which the opening of the collar may be closed and reopened an indefinite number of times), said reversible closure means being suitable for closing said opening so as to prevent said cape from coming out of said seat.
  • the reversible closure of the opening in the collar can be obtained by way of example, by means of a fastener (or zipper), by means of Velcro or by means of one or more snap buttons.
  • said cape comprises at least:
  • the cape is applicable to an animal in such a manner that the second and the third edge are substantially at the sides, respectively, of the animal, and the fourth edge substantially is at the tail or the back of the animal.
  • connection means comprise at least a first and a second band, each of which having a first and a second end,
  • said first band being connected to the second edge of said cape at the first end thereof
  • said second band being connected to the third edge of said cape at the first end thereof
  • said bands being reversibly connectable to each other at the second ends thereof, respectively,
  • said bands being flexible and foldable onto themselves so that they can be accommodated in said seat.
  • the cape advantageously is further connectable to the animal by means of the aforesaid bands.
  • the cape is applicable to an animal in such a manner that the second ends of the bands advantageously are at the abdomen of the animal (that is, between the front legs and the back legs), i.e. in a position which is difficult for the animal to access with its mouth (should the animal attempt to disconnect the bands).
  • the term “reversibly connectable” means that the bands are connectable to one another and disconnectable from one another an indefinite number of times.
  • connection means comprise at least a third and a fourth band, each of which having a first and a second end,
  • said third band being connected to the second edge of said cape at the first end thereof and in an intermediate position between said first band and said first edge,
  • said fourth band being connected to the third edge of said cape at the first end thereof and in an intermediate position between said second band and said first edge
  • said third and fourth band being reversibly connectable to each other at the second ends thereof, respectively,
  • said third and fourth band being flexible and foldable onto themselves so they can be accommodated in said seat.
  • the cape advantageously further connectable to the animal by means of the first and the second band, but also by means of the third and the fourth band.
  • the cape is applicable to an animal in such a manner that the second ends of the third and fourth band advantageously are at the chest of the animal (that is, between the neck and the front legs), i.e. in a position which is difficult for the animal to access with its mouth (should the animal attempt to disconnect the bands).
  • connection means comprise a slot connected to said cape at the fourth edge thereof,
  • said slot being flexible and foldable onto itself so it can be accommodated in said seat.
  • the cape in addition to being connected to the animal by means of the collar, advantageously is further connectable to the animal by introducing the tail of the latter into the slot.
  • connection means comprise a pair of slots connected to said cape substantially at the joints between said fourth edge and said second and third edge, respectively, the slots of said pair being flexible and foldable onto themselves so that they can be accommodated in said seat.
  • the cape advantageously is further connectable to the animal by introducing the back legs of the latter into the aforesaid pair of slots, respectively.
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan diagrammatic view of a garment for animals according to the present invention, comprising a collar and a cape;
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan diagrammatic view of the garment in figure 1 , in the configuration in which the cape is folded onto itself and is accommodated inside the collar;
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the garment in figure 1 , while the cape is being extracted from the collar;
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the garment in figure 1 , applied to a dog in the configuration in which the cape is extracted from the collar.
  • the garment described is not limited to the aforesaid example. Given that it is conveniently sized, it indeed is applicable to any four-legged animal.
  • Figure 1 shows a garment 1 which is applicable to a four-legged animal, for example to protect it from the cold and/or shelter it from the rain.
  • Garment 1 the object of the invention comprises a cape 2 made of a preferably polymeric and waterproof material, which is flexible in size such that cape 2 is easily foldable onto itself.
  • Garment 1 further comprises a collar 3 which is reversibly applicable to the neck of a four-legged animal.
  • Cape 2 is connected to collar 3, preferably at an edge 4 thereof, upper edge in figure 1 , identified above with the term“first edge”.
  • Cape 2 further comprises mutually opposite second and third edge 5 and 6, side edges in figure 1 , between which edge 4 is interposed.
  • a fourth edge 7 of cape 2, opposite to edge 4 and lower edge in figure 1 is also interposed between the edges 5 and 6.
  • Cape 2 preferably is symmetrical with respect to an axis arranged longitudinally, i.e. extending from edge 4 to edge 7.
  • Garment 1 preferably comprises a first and a second band 8 and 9, preferably elasticized bands, each of which having a first end 8a and 9a and a second end 8b and 9b.
  • Band 8 is connected to the edge 5 of cape 2, preferably almost centrally, at end 8a.
  • Band 9 is connected to the edge 6 of cape 2, it also preferably almost centrally, at end 9a.
  • the bands 8 and 9 preferably are opposite to each other.
  • the bands 8 and 9 are reversibly connectable to each other at the ends 8b, 9b, respectively.
  • the reversible connection between the bands 8 and 9 preferably occurs by means of Velcro.
  • Garment 1 preferably also comprises a third and a fourth band 10 and 11 , preferably elasticized bands, each of which having a first end 10a and 11a and a second end 10b and 11 b.
  • Band 10 is connected to the edge 5 of cape 2 at end 10a, in an intermediate position between band 8 and edge 4.
  • Band 11 is connected to the edge 6 of cape 2 at end 11a, in an intermediate position between band 9 and edge 4.
  • the bands 10 and 11 preferably are opposite to each other and are reversibly connectable to each other at the ends 10b and 11b, respectively.
  • the reversible connection between the bands 10 and 11 preferably occurs by mutually tying together said bands 10 and 11 (at the ends 10b and 11 b).
  • Garment 1 preferably comprises a first slot 12, preferably an elasticized slot, connected to cape 2 almost centrally at edge 7.
  • Garment 1 preferably further comprises a second and a third slot 13 and 14, they also preferably elasticized slots, connected to cape 2 substantially at the joints between edge 7 and the edges 5 and 6, respectively.
