  • the field of art to which this invention refers is a tool - care of domestic animals, like dogs, cats, horses.
  • a technical problem solved by the present invention is how to design such tool or rather accessory for the care of domestic animals, especially extremities, the structure of which functions as a multipurpose tool or rather an accessory and comprises in its structure a tool allowing for a simple cleaning of animal extremities, preferably dog's paws, a toy, and an accessory for breeding and socialisation of a dog, whereby it is designed in a way that the accessory is easy to maintain and clean.
  • the inventor is not acquainted with solutions that would integrally combine cleaning of dog's paws, a toy and a relationship - breeding and socialisation of a pet.
  • an accessory for cleaning animal extremities, especially dog's paws of the invention being shaped as a hollow open cylinder having a multitude of protrusions in the internal surface of the curved surface area.
  • the protrusions are shaped as cones reaching radially into the interior of the cylinder.
  • the protrusions are arranged on the circumference of the curved surface area in equidistant groups, with the length of each group of protrusions totalling at least one half of the cylinder height.
  • the protrusions function as cleaning elements, like bristles in a brush, and each group of protrusions functions as an independent brush.
  • the external surface of the curved surface area is free of protrusions; it is optionally shaped unevenly and has a degree of ruggedness to allow a good grip.
  • the cleaning accessory is made of plastic having adequate elastic properties allowing at least partial adaptation of the cylinder shape to an individual extremity, whereby the material must meet the requirements of manufacture of toys for domestic animals, especially dogs, and must be chewing proof.
  • the accessory of the invention is used as an accessory for cleaning animal extremities, when an animal that was outside enters a room.
  • the lower part of an animal extremity is put into the accessory - cylinder and the shape of the cylinder is adapted to the shape of the extremity by force of a hand.
  • the accessory is moved up and down on the lower part of the extremity and in radial direction as well.
  • the protrusions - bristles thus get between the hair and individual parts of a sole and remove impurities. The latter fall from the cylinder through the gaps between individual groups of bristles.
  • this accessory is also used as an aid to control dog's sole, which is an indicator of a majority of dog's problems linked to health.
  • this accessory Due to its cylindrical shape and the size adapted to the size and age of a dog, this accessory is suitable and also a very interesting toy for an animal. The animal may roll it, grab it with its teeth, carry it around and catch in play as well.
  • the product is simple to use, it is handy and adequate to use both inside and outside, e.g. at home, in a clinic, in a car, when camping.
  • the described tool may be used for the care of extremities of various animals, like dogs, cats, horses.

  • the protrusions 15 are preferably shaped as cones radially reaching into the interior of the cylinder 10.
  • the exterior surface 13 of the curved surface area 11 of the cylinder 10 is free of protrusions 15, whereas the surface is shaped in a way to offer adequate support for a hand during use of the tool and is simultaneously dog friendly when playing and/or may be shaped in irregular elevations.
  • the protrusions 15 function as cleaning elements, as bristles in a brush and so each group 1 of protrusions 15 functions as a separate brush.
  • the cylinder 10 may be superficially treated to get the shape of a dog's toy which basically derives from a cylinder.
  • the cylinder 10 is open on both sides in the basic embodiment. It is also possible to have an embodiment (based on the use) in which one of the external open surfaces, basic surfaces of the cylinder is closed by a cover (bottom) 13, which is removable in an optionally known way or is fixed to the cylinder 10.
  • a further embodiment of the tool of the invention is a cylinder comprising in its interior a combination of brushes 1 having protrusions of different hardness and size and of absorbent elements 2, sponges, whereby the brushes 1 and the sponges 2 are arranged on the circumference alternately and parallel to the cylinder axis and the gap between them is intended to remove dirt particles.
  • a tool of this type is suitable for cleaning wet extremities mostly, whereas the brushes help remove impurities and the absorbent elements absorb wetness.

  • the size of the tool for cleaning dog's paws is adapted to the size of dogs, i.e. the breed and age of dogs. Young dogs; small, middle size and large and adult dogs; small, middle size and large. Adequately, the starting size of the tool for a middle-sized adult dog is an 11 cm cylinder with an internal diameter of 6 cm.
  • the dimensions of the cylinder height and internal diameter increase/decrease with the size of the dog and the dimensions of the tool for the cleaning of dog's paws are in proportion therewith. This means that a change in the diameter of the cylinder influences the change of the height of the cylinder and internally arranged components, i.e. brushes and absorbent elements.
  • the size of said internal components is in proportion with the size of the tool, whereby the dimensions of the brushes 1 and the sponges 2 are in proportion.
  • the arrangement of individual components depends on the variant (dry, wet).
  • the patterns of arrangement of parts differ in applicability with respect to weather conditions (dry, wet).
  • the tool for the cleaning of dog's paws is used as follows: first calm down the dog, lift its paw to be cleaned and put the cleaning tool onto the bottom part of the paw. By gently moving the tool up and down and twisting it in both directions, a dog's paw is cleaned quickly and easily. Before re-used, the tool for cleaning dog's paws needs to be softened, kneated and thus freed from contained particles. The process is then repeated on other paws. Claims

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un outil pour nettoyer des extrémités d'animal, en particulier les pattes d'un chien, lequel outil a la forme d'un cylindre creux (10) comportant une multitude de saillies (15) dans la surface incurvée intérieure (11) du cylindre. Les saillies ont, de préférence, la forme de cônes s'étendant radialement dans l'intérieur du cylindre. Les saillies sont agencées sur la circonférence de la surface incurvée par groupes équidistants (1), la longueur de chaque groupe de saillies s'élevant à au moins la moitié de la hauteur du cylindre. Les saillies jouent le rôle d'éléments de nettoyage, comme des poils d'une brosse, et chaque groupe de saillies joue le rôle d'une brosse séparée. L'outil combine les propriétés d'un accessoire pour les soins, d'un jouet et d'une aide à l'apprentissage.
