  • Mounting arrangement for squeakers
    Publication number: 20060121822
    Abstract: A method of mounting a squeaker into a hard rubber bail toy. A separate sleeve or shroud is provided that retains a squeaker and forms the noise producing element to be inserted into the rubber toy. The sleeve has a recessed area that tightly mates with an opening in the rubber toy and also includes a bonding surface to secure the sleeve to the toy. The shroud could also be formed with differently sized flanges that extend from a proximate end of the sleeve. An inherent feature of the disclosed structure is that the flanges will cause the noise producing element to be retained within the toy even if the bonding of the shroud to the opening in the toy happens to fail.

  • Birdcage attachments
    Publication number: 20060027183
    Abstract: Birdcage attachments are mountable to a birdcage and present a bird with a variety of interesting and challenging activities. The toy attachments encourage birds to learn by experimenting. As a bird manipulates some parts of the toy attachments, the bird will discover that the parts may be put into different positions and remain there until deciding to move them again. In most cases, the parts will not automatically return to their original state or position if the bird stops playing, challenging a bird even more to return the toy to its original state.

  • Birdcage waterer
    Publication number: 20050034678
    Abstract: A birdcage watering device is provided with a no-spill valve and method of attachment. The watering device comprises a valve attached to a water chamber comprising an extended leg such that when the watering device is completely assembled the valve may be displaced to fill trough. Particularly, the extended leg of the valve produces an angled opening to permit flow of water from the water chamber without clogging or getting “stuck” in the valve opening. The water chamber is easily removed for refilling and the valve is designed to prevent the spilling of water during the process. A method of attachment is also described that allows the device to be on the outside of the birdcage while being secured from the inside of the cage, thus allowing for easy refilling of the water chamber of the device.

The feeding device may be closed to allow a user to remove the seed cup, without removing the device, for cleaning. A method of attachment is also described that allows the device to be on the outside of the birdcage while being secured from the inside of the cage, thus allowing for easy refilling of the device.

  • Pet mat
    Publication number: 20040237901
    Abstract: A pet mat is provided with an upper surface having a pattern of raised bumps, the configuration and spacing of which is such that a common pet bowl or dish can be placed on any part of the upper surface and the bowl will normally fall within the interstices between the pattern of bumps. The bumps prevent a bowl from moving around the mat, and a raised peripheral edge bordering the upper surface prevents spillage from escaping onto the mat support surface or floor. The mat is preferably formed from a tacky material, such a natural rubber, which further aids in the goal of reducing slippage of both the mat and the bowl placed thereon.
