  • the harness 5 is preferably equipped with thick, soil padding on the inside 29 and external reflector tape 30 to make it soft and comfortable for the dog 2 to wear the harness 5 and to make it easier for road-users to observe the dog 2 in the dark.
  • the said padding extends at least the forward located strappings whole extension and extends sideways outside the border of the strapping to prevent gall or cutting and hurting the dog 2.

  • the strappings 8.... of the harness 5 and the restraining strap 6 are connectable by adjustment slides 31 of known kind and that consist of a strap-connecting transverse bar 32 see Fig 4A-4C, and a pair of strap-pressure sidebars 33, 34 for linking and on-sewing of the strappings, see Fig 4A, respectively folded to wind around through a loop 35 on a snap-hook 16 for instance.
  • This restraining strap 6 is arranged to be adjusted to desired length by the slide 31 , see Fig 4A - 4C, and hereby getting the right distance between the dog and the back of the seat.

  • the connecting portion 6 can thereby easily run up 37 and down 38 the strap part 4A, and the force exposed on the harness 5 and the dog 2 in case of strong retardation of the vehicle 3, is evenly distributed, so that no single part of the dog's 2 body has to receive all the pressure and risk to be damaged.
  • the weight and the material of the quick-link 7 implies that it easily slides along the safety belt without getting caught, when the dog moves sideward or lies down.
  • the weight of the quick-link 7 makes that the connecting strap 6 between the harness and the safety belt always is in the right position in relation to he harness 5, which also means that in case of a car-accident the pulling comes in the longitudinal direction of the harness, see Fig 1.
  • the quick-link 7 is practical since it fits to all safety belts and easily can be opened and closed.
  • a further ring 39 is sewed on the centre of the upper part of the harness 5, and can be used when for example an ordinary leash is put on the harness 5.
  • Fig 5 shows how the harness can be used in a pulling function, for example a sleigh.
  • the harness 5 can be used in other situations than above described to securely fasten the dog in, for example vehicles in common, busses, trains and in the back of station wagons.
  • the idea, development and construction of the harness The basic idea was to create a safety harness for dogs, which in contrast to the other harnesses, should be of high quality and better fulfilling its function as a traffic secure product and protection for the dog. From the beginning a harness was constructed and plain technically the idea was to not get the pressure on the front part of the neck, instead the forces should be distributed over the chest and shoulders. It was assumed to be solved through the V-shape on the harness, but it appeared to angle too much and the pressure still got on the front part. When the fix-point was moved backwards along the shoulders to the centre of the back and the straps were sewed to get from the breastbone up over the chest, in an angle, the desired effect was fulfilled.
  • a further benefit is that the dog doesn't somersault in a car-accident because the restraining strap is placed at the back of the dog.
  • the connecting strap to the safety belt has to be short, so that the pulling always comes in the dog's horizontal level.
  • the centre strap 40 is not running but fixed and is sewed in an angle. Consequently the restraining strap 6 can be adjusted to get the right distance between the dog and the back of the seat.
  • the main idea of the invention was to create a safety harness for dogs which is secure in the traffic and protects the dog and, of course, preventing the dog from disturbing the driver, or in case of strong retardation, preventing the dog from flying forwards. It avoids pressure on the front part of the dog's neck and distributes the force over the whole chest and shoulder. The fix-points at the shoulders are removed backwards to the centre of the dog's back.
  • the harness is furthermore crash-tested in order to provide a secure product, which endures at least 26G on a dog with the weight of 20kg. It is also multifunctional.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (1) destiné à attacher un chien (2) ou autres animaux domestiques en toute sécurité et sûreté dans des véhicules (3) par la conventionnelle ceinture de sécurité du siège de voiture. Ce dispositif comprend un harnais (5) porté par le chien ou équivalent et une bride (6) qui se fixe à la ceinture de sécurité (4) afin d'attacher le harnais (5) à cette ceinture de sécurité (4). Selon l'invention, un certain nombre de sangles sont assemblées pour former un dispositif d'attache conçu sous forme de harnais (5) et disposé de manière à passer autour de l'épaule (9) et sur le dos (10) d'un chien (2) attaché afin de répartir les forces effectives (actives) sur tout le poitrail et les épaules (9). Un élément de connexion (13), p.ex. un anneau en forme de D, est placé sur la partie supérieure et postérieure du harnais et un anneau récepteur (7), p.ex. une attache rapide, ayant une fonction de libération rapide, est placé de manière à être raccordé au harnais par l'élément de connexion (13). L'élément récepteur (7) est mobile librement le long d'une section (4A) de la ceinture de sécurité lorsque la ceinture (4) et le chien (2) sont en position attachée (F).
