Abstract: A wound protection system which utilizes a tubular sheath to provide coverage over an animal's injured limb. An adjustable strap extends from the tubular sheath to allow the strap to be adjusted to fit on animals of various sizes. The adjustable strap engages with the animal's collar to prevent the tubular sheath from riding down the animal's leg. The tubular sheath may have a rubber and/or water resistant region at the region of the tubular sheath in contact with an animal's paw. An interlocking mechanism along the adjustable strap allows for ease of removing the wound protection system. The tubular sheath may be equipped with additional padding, reinforcing ribs, non-stretchable strip, height adjustment mechanism, and/or a fitted region to provide various benefits to the animal.

Abstract: A pet chew toy which provides dental cleaning benefits to pets is disclosed. The pet chew toy includes a fabric covering over a central body or core. Elevated portions extend from the fabric surface and may be arranged in rows, rings, patterns, or any other decorative design. Elevated portions may be arranged to accommodate the dental structure of various types of pets. Bristles are secured to the elevated portions, and extend in a direction generally horizontal to the surface of the fabric. Bristles may be of various lengths to accommodate different sized teeth. In use, when a pet chews on the toy, the pet's teeth comes in contact with the bristles to allow the bristle to generate a brushing motion. The chew toy may include an internal compartment for holding and dispensing pet treats, and/or may include a noise making element within the chew toy to capture the pets attention.

Abstract: The area in front of a person is illuminated without requiring the use of the person's hands, by suspending from the neck of the person a housing containing at least one LED light source emitting a light beam extending forwardly from the person, a battery power supply for the light source, and a switch connected between the light source and the power supply for energizing and de-energizing the light source. The housing is stabilized on the chest of the user by coupling the housing to a stabilizing strap or cord extending around the torso of the user. The stabilizing strap or cord and/or the neck strap or cord may include reflective material for safety purposes, may be adjustable in length, and may include at least one coupling that releases automatically when subjected to a tension force above a selected threshold.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for illuminating the area in front of a person without requiring the use of the person's hands, by suspending from the neck of the person a housing containing at least one LED light source emitting a light beam extending forwardly from the person, a battery power supply for the light source, and a switch connected between the light source and the power supply for energizing and de-energizing the light source. The housing is shaped to rest against the chest of the person so that the direction of the light beam remains substantially stable. The housing may be pivotable relative to a connector to permit the light beam from the light source to be directed forwardly from the person through a preselected range of angles both above and below a horizontal axis.

Abstract: A horse flashlight illuminates the area in front of a horse in dark conditions. The horse flashlight includes a housing containing at least one light source, a battery power supply for the light source, and a switch connected between the light source and the power supply for energizing and de-energizing the light source. An attachment device includes a band carrying the housing and adapted to surround the neck of the horse so that the housing is located in front of the chest of the horse. When energized, the light source has sufficient brightness to illuminate the area in front of the horse so that the horse owner can observe the illuminated area for control purposes.

Abstract: A dog flashlight illuminates the area in front of a dog in dark conditions, thereby eliminating the need for a dog owner to carry and direct a light source. The dog flashlight includes a housing containing at least one light source, a battery power supply for the light source, and a switch connected between the light source and the power supply for energizing and de-energizing the light source. When energized, the light source has sufficient brightness to illuminate the area in front of the dog so that the dog owner can observe the illuminated area for control purposes. One preferred embodiment includes an attachment device having a band carrying the housing and adapted to fit around the neck of the dog so that the housing is located in front of the chest of the dog.
