  • Patent number: 9491929
    Abstract: A multiple sound-emitting pet toy comprised of at least two compressible, sound-emitting chambers that return to their original shape once the compressed toy is released from a squeeze. Each sound-emitting chamber is equipped with a squeaker, with each squeaker generally emitting a differently-pitched sound. The compressible, sound-emitting chambers can be of the same shape and arranged in tandem to create a substantially symmetrical toy. The positions of the sound-emitting chambers are maintained by a fabric covering that directly surrounds them. Fastening elements can be positioned at the end of each chamber, to further cooperate with one another upon alignment and affixation of the at least two or more compressible chambers.

  • Patent number: 9326487
    Abstract: A pet toy makes a sound when bitten or squeezed by an animal. The toy contains a resilient shell that substantially surrounds the sound-producing material. The toy also contains a core constructed of an elastic material located beneath the sound-producing material. The sound-producing material is a plastic material such as polyethylene terephthalate, which deforms when external pressure is applied to it, creating sound and vibration. In an embodiment of the invention, air permeates the sound-producing material, the core is hollow, and acoustic ports are located at each end of the toy, all to enhance its sound generating characteristics. In another embodiment, a strand is attached to or passes through the core of the pet toy. In another embodiment, an elastic outer sleeve is attached to the sound-producing material at various locations between their surfaces, to reposition the sound-producing material to its original orientation after an external pressure of force is released.
