Abstract

The device consists of a classic collar and a halter, which is fitted around the muzzle of the animal, and which is connected to the collar by means of a cord (4), on to which is fixed the ring (3), to which the lead is attached.

Description

La présente invention concerne un collier qui empêche les chiens de tirer sur leur laisse, tout en gardant un total contrôle sur celui-ci. The present invention relates to a collar which prevents dogs from pulling on their leash, while keeping total control over it.

Les chiens tirent naturellement sur leur laisse. Les colliers classiques ainsi que les harnais sont totalement inefficaces. Quant aux colliers de type étrangleur, ils ne provoquent généralement que l'étouffement de l'animal sans pour autant l'arrêter avec pour conséquences de blesser et traumatiser celui-ci. Dogs naturally pull on their leashes. Classic collars and harnesses are completely ineffective. As for the strangler type collars, they generally only cause the animal to suffocate without stopping it, with the consequence of injuring and traumatizing it.

La présente invention permet de résoudre cet état de fait. Le collier se divise en deux parties principales : le collier de type classique mais muni de passants et un licol qui se positionne autour du museau du chien. Un cordon qui passe par les passants du collier, ainsi que par un anneau libre où va se fixer la laisse, va se rattacher au licol par un système d'attache. The present invention makes it possible to resolve this state of affairs. The collar is divided into two main parts: the collar of classic type but provided with loops and a halter which is positioned around the muzzle of the dog. A cord that goes through the passers-by of the collar, as well as through a free ring where the leash will attach, will be attached to the halter by a fastening system.

Ainsi lorsque le chien tire sur sa laisse, le cordon va agir directement sur le licol (le collier n'a qu'un rôle de guide) et va provoquer le basculement de la tête du chien vers l'avant. L'animal se retrouve dans une situation où il ne voit plus devant lui et va donc automatiquement s'arrêter et cela sans aucune contrainte blessante. S'il continue à tirer sur sa laisse, l'effet de basculement perdure : il ne pourra retrouver une position normale qu'en arrêtant de tirer sur sa laisse. Le collier se trouve donc en prise direct avec le museau du chien. So when the dog pulls on its leash, the cord will act directly on the halter (the collar has only a role of guide) and will cause the tilting of the dog's head forward. The animal finds itself in a situation where it no longer sees in front of it and will therefore automatically stop and this without any hurtful constraint. If he continues to pull on his leash, the tilting effect continues: he can only return to a normal position by stopping pulling on his leash. The collar is therefore in direct contact with the dog's muzzle.

Le collier étant muni d'un crochet et le cordon passant par un anneau libre, pour reprendre le contrôle du chien il suffit de positionner l'anneau dans le crochet et ainsi pouvoir tirer sur la laisse sans actionner le cordon sur le licol. The collar being provided with a hook and the cord passing through a free ring, to regain control of the dog just position the ring in the hook and thus be able to pull on the leash without actuating the cord on the halter.

Le dessin annexé illustre l'invention : La figure 1 représente en vue trois-quart arrière de l'ensemble du dispositif : collier classique, la rallonge, l'anneau libre, le licol et le cordon. The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention: Figure 1 shows a three-quarter rear view of the entire device: conventional collar, the extension, the free ring, the halter and the cord.

En référence à ce dessin, le dispositif se divise en deux parties principales : le collier et le licol. Le collier de type classique comporte trois parties. La partie centrale (1) où se situe le crochet (2) pour que l'anneau libre (3) relié au cordon puisse s'accrocher. Cette partie possède aussi un anneau fixe (5) pour pourvoir transformer le collier en collier normal. Les parties (6) et (6') se rattachent à la partie centrale grâce à des boucles de raccord (7). With reference to this drawing, the device is divided into two main parts: the collar and the halter. The classic type necklace has three parts. The central part (1) where the hook (2) is located so that the free ring (3) connected to the cord can hang. This part also has a fixed ring (5) to provide for transforming the collar into a normal collar. The parts (6) and (6 ') are attached to the central part by means of connection loops (7).

De plus, elles sont munies de boucles de réglage (8) afin d'adapter le collier à la taille du cou de l'animal, ainsi que d'un système de fermeture (9). In addition, they are provided with adjustment loops (8) in order to adapt the collar to the size of the animal's neck, as well as a closure system (9).

Les boucles de raccord, les boucles de réglage, le système de fermeture sont équipés de passants afin de permettre au cordon relié au licol, d'être guidé et de circuler librement. The connection loops, the adjustment loops, the closure system are equipped with loops to allow the cord connected to the halter, to be guided and to move freely.

La deuxième partie principale, le licol, se compose d'une sangle, d'une boucle de réglage (10) ainsi que d'une boucle auto-bloquant (11) afin de laisser passer et maintenir le cordon et de régler la tension de celui-ci. The second main part, the halter, consists of a strap, an adjustment loop (10) as well as a self-locking loop (11) in order to let and hold the cord and to adjust the tension of this one.

Le dispositif pourra être équipé d'un élément supplémentaire : une rallonge (12). The device can be equipped with an additional element: an extension (12).

Ce collier doit pouvoir d'adapter à toutes races de chien ou aux différents âges de celui-ci. This collar must be able to adapt to all breeds of dog or to the different ages of it.

Donc cette rallonge pourra se rajouter au collier pour augmenter le diamètre total du collier. Cette partie est composée d'une sangle de même type que le collier, d'un système de fermeture (13) devant d'adapter à celui du collier principal ainsi que d'une boucle de réglage (14), ces deux derniers éléments sont aussi équipés de passants. So this extension can be added to the collar to increase the total diameter of the collar. This part is composed of a strap of the same type as the collar, a closure system (13) which must adapt to that of the main collar, as well as an adjustment loop (14), these last two elements are also equipped with passers-by.

Les deux derniers accessoires : une boucle libre (3) et le cordon (4). La boucle libre, aussi équipée de passants, qui sert de lien entre le collier et la laisse. Le cordon passe par

tous les différents passants et va se fixer à la boucle auto-bloquant du licol. Ainsi quand le chien tire sur sa laisse, la tête de celui-ci va basculer vers l'avant et ainsi provoquer l'arrêt de celui-ci. The last two accessories: a free loop (3) and the cord (4). The free loop, also equipped with loops, which serves as a link between the collar and the leash. The cord goes through

all the different passers-by and will attach to the halter's self-locking loop. So when the dog pulls on its leash, its head will tip forward and thus cause it to stop.

Ce dispositif pourra être fabriqué à l'aide de sangles en différentes matières au choix : cuir, synthétique etc... Les différentes boucles de raccord, boucles de réglage, systèmes de fermeture pourront être réalisés en matière plastique avec les passants moulés. This device can be manufactured using straps in different materials of choice: leather, synthetic, etc. The different connection loops, adjustment loops, closure systems can be made of plastic with molded loops.

L'assemblage pourra s'effectuer par rivetage ou par couture. The assembly can be done by riveting or by sewing.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au contrôle des chiens. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the control of dogs.
