Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for prohibiting an area to a pet.
- domestic animal is meant either pets said companions, such as dogs, cats, ferrets, or farm animals or livestock such as horses, cattle or sheep.
- zone we designate a place that we wish to prohibit, temporarily or permanently, to a domestic animal.
- This place may correspond to a surface delimited by objects, for example a barrier, or by plants, for example a flowerbed. It can also be a piece of furniture or an object, for example a bed, a chair or a trinket.
- This zone may not be delimited by an object, for example it may be an access path.
- WO-A-00/75046 To prevent an animal from entering a prohibited zone, devices such as that described by WO-A-00/75046 in which an aerosol can is equipped with a presence detector are known. This aerosol can is placed near the forbidden zone. The presence detector triggers, when approaching an animal, the emission of a jet or spray. This spray forms a stimulus indicating to the animal that the area is prohibited. This device is easy to move from one area to another but does not distinguish between an animal allowed to enter the area and an animal for which this area is prohibited.
- a device where a user is provided with an aerosol can.
- the user triggers the emission of a stimulating spray indicating to the animal that this zone is prohibited.
- This device requires that the user is present in the vicinity of the forbidden zone when the animal approaches this zone and it can be triggered only manually.
- US-A-5,872,516 also discloses a device comprising a terminal placed near the zone to be prohibited and emitting ultrasound.
- An animal is equipped with a means of transmitting a stimulus, in this case a electric shock, and a means of communication with the terminal.
- a stimulus in this case a electric shock
- the collar of the animal receives an order of emission of the stimulus.
- US-A-2001/042522 discloses a device carried by an animal.
- This device comprises a means of issuing a punishment, in particular an electric shock.
- a control unit emits a magnetic field around a given area. This unit detects the approach of the animal and commands the punishment.
- the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a device for prohibiting an area to a domestic animal, easy to implement, adapting to the animal whatever its size, mobile and does not require the presence of a user.
- the subject of the invention is a device for prohibiting an area for a domestic animal comprising a means of detecting the approach of an animal of the prohibited zone and a means of emission of at least a stimulus indicating to the animal that it is approaching the forbidden zone, characterized in that
- the detection means comprises a first transceiver carried by the animal and a second transceiver located near a forbidden zone and in that at least one means for transmitting at least one stimulus is disposed near the forbidden zone, the second transceiver being attached to the stimulus transmitting means and the stimulus emission being controlled by the first transceiver, carried by the animal, activated by the second transceiver .
- a transceiver is a device with a footprint small enough to be carried by small animals.
- such a device may incorporate one or more of the following features:
- the first transceiver is of the passive type.
- the second transceiver is capable of transmitting a signal which, when received by the first transceiver carried by the animal, activates the first transceiver to control the emission of the stimulus.
- the stimulus includes at least the emission of a sound associated with another stimulus.
- the stimulus includes the emission of a sound and an inert gas, if necessary perfumed.
- the first transceiver equipping the animal controls several means of transmitting the stimulus, identical or not.
- - Stimulus emission means can be controlled by several transceivers carried by different animals.
- Stimuli emitted by the same means of emission are variable according to the transceiver carried by the animal approaching the forbidden zone.
- the invention also relates to a method of implementing a device for prohibiting an area to a domestic animal comprising a means of detecting the approach of an animal from the prohibited zone and a means of transmitting a at least one stimulus indicating to the animal that it is approaching a forbidden zone according to one of the preceding characteristics, characterized in that it comprises at least steps consisting of:
- a) have a first transceiver on an animal
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a device according to the invention, a domestic animal being equipped with a transceiver and a stimulus transmitting means being placed near an object to be prohibited.
- the device 1, shown in Figure 1 is suitable for use with different pets.
- Advantageously it is intended for use with a cat 2, as illustrated.
- the device can also transmit radio frequencies, such as those used for radio identification or RFID. These are, for example, the following frequencies: 13.56 kHz, 125 kHz, 13 MHz, 869 MHz and 915 MHz.
- an RFID type device it is for example an identification chip placed under the skin of the animal.
- the animal is thus permanently equipped with the device, without it hindering in any way the life of the animal.
- the device 1 comprises a first transceiver 3, of sufficiently small size to be fixed, removably or permanently, on a collar 4 or a harness carried by the cat 2.
- This transceiver 3 is of low weight and it emits advantageously in High Frequencies, at 2.4 GHz.
- the frequencies used are different. It can be, for example, Low Frequencies.
- This transmission frequency allows use in most countries because it is the one used for WiFi links.
- the device 1 also comprises means 5 for transmitting at least one stimulus.
- the stimulus can be visual, olfactory, sensory, tactile or sound.
- This means is a box 5 of cubic form. Alternatively, it is of a different form.
- the means 5 can emit at least one stimulus. In this case, it emits two stimuli 6 and 7.
- One of the stimuli is a jet or spray 6 of an inert gas, for example air, optionally perfumed for example with lemongrass.
- the use of a fragrant or fragrant gas allows a user to control the proper functioning of the device.
- the second stimulus 7 is a sound stimulus, in this case an audible sound at least by the animal. It can therefore be ultrasound.
- the housing 5 comprises a gas tank, not shown. This reservoir has a sufficient volume to ensure the emission of several successive jets 6, preferably about sixty, which corresponds to a reservoir of about 15 ml. The capacity of such a tank is generally between 2 and 250 ml.
- the spray 6 is diffused by a nozzle 8 mounted on one face of the casing 5.
- this nozzle 8 is orientable.
- the sound 7 is restored by a speaker 9 fixed to the housing 5.
- the latter comprises an electronic memory, not shown, on which are recorded one or more sounds.
- sound we mean a sound, a set of sounds or noises, known or not of the animal, ultrasounds, a voice, words or music.
- the device 1 comprises a power source, not shown, supplying the loudspeaker 9 and a solenoid valve fixed on the gas tank.
- This source may consist of batteries, rechargeable or not, and / or a transformer for connection to the mains.
- the device 1 advantageously comprises a control button, not shown, of a type known per se.
- This command button makes it possible to select either the two stimuli 6 and 7, or the sound 7 or the spray 6 when the animal 2, by reflex type Pavlov, combines the two stimuli. It is no longer necessary to emit the two stimuli together.
- the housing 5 may be provided with fasteners, for example adhesive pads for holding it on different types of surfaces, horizontal or vertical.
- fasteners for example adhesive pads for holding it on different types of surfaces, horizontal or vertical.
- it can be mounted on a peg to be anchored in the ground, for example near a flowerbed.
- it can be provided with wheels for easy movement.
- the housing 5 comprises a transceiver 10.
- the transceiver 10 is independent of the housing 5 and is located close to the latter and the forbidden zone 12, in this case a couch 12.
- the connection between the stimulus transmitter box 5 and the transceiver 10 may, in this case, be wired or not.
- the transceiver 10 located on the stimulus emitting means is adapted to recognize several transceivers 3 carried by different animals.
- each is provided with a transceiver 3 which triggers the emission of a stimulus 6 and / or 7, when approaching by the animal of the prohibited zone 12.
- several housings 5 distributed near several forbidden zones make it possible to prohibit one or more zones to several given animals, the zones not being necessarily the same for the different animals.
- transceivers 10 mounted on different housings 5, can recognize a same transceiver 3 carried by the animal 2.
- an animal 2 can trigger several transceivers 10, so order several stimuli emission, the corresponding boxes being located near several prohibited areas or delimiting a large area area.
- the transceiver 3 carried by the animal 2 and the transceiver 10 fixed on the housing 5, are each equipped with a control means, not shown, for defining a trigger distance of the stimulus 6 or 7 when the animal 2 approaches the forbidden zone 12. In practice, this distance must be sufficiently small for the animal 2 to associate the approach of the zone
- such a distance is between a few centimeters and 2 meters.
- the spray 6 can be adjustable in intensity and / or duration of the sound 7 can be modulated and / or adjusted in intensity and / or duration.
- the device 1 can advantageously be put on standby or activated remotely, via a remote control, a microcomputer, the Internet network or a mobile telephone network.
- the owner of the animal can easily choose to activate or not the device without the transmitter 3 and the housing 5 is removed.
- the transceiver 3 is passive type, that is to say that it is generally in standby, emitting no signal.
- the transceiver 3 located on the animal 2 is within range of the transceiver 10 of the housing 5.
- This transceiver 10 is of the active type and transmits, permanently or regularly, a given signal. If this signal corresponds to a known signal of the transceiver 3, the signal is received and the transceiver 3 is turned on.
- the transceiver 3 carried by the animal 2 then sends, in response, a signal which, in turn, is recognized by the transceiver 10 as a transmission signal of the stimulus (s) 6, 7 by the housing 5 on which is fixed the transceiver 10. There is then emission of a sound 7 and / or a spray 6 towards the animal 2.
- the transceiver 10 By using a passive transceiver 3 whose activation is triggered by the active transceiver 10, energy is saved since, most of the time, the transceiver 3 carried by the animal 2 is inactive. Energy source can be reduced to a minimum thereby reducing the size and weight of the transceiver 3 and having it carried by small animals such as a cat 2 or a ferret. In contrast, the transceiver 10 is equipped with a higher capacity power source since it is active most of the time.
- the device 1 it is also possible, with the device 1, to prohibit certain areas to an animal from the house and to authorize them for another animal. For this, it suffices for a transceiver 3 that its signal is recognized by the transceiver 10 and that the same transceiver 10 does not recognize the signal of another transceiver 3. Thus, an animal in the first case, he will receive a stimulus indicating that he must not approach the forbidden zone and, in the second case, will be able to approach the same zone without sanction.
- an animal not equipped with a transceiver 3 will not trigger the emission of a stimulus, it can therefore enter the forbidden zone 12.
- This device therefore allows discrimination between animals. It is also possible to control the triggering of the stimulus, that is to say to activate the housing 5, depending on a parameter external to the zone to be prohibited, for example depending on the external humidity. Thus, a zone is prohibited inside when it rains outside.
