Abstract: A furniture piece includes a first furniture subassembly, a first fitting on the first furniture subassembly, a second furniture subassembly, and a second fitting on the second furniture subassembly. The second fitting is selectively attachable to the first fitting to secure the first furniture subassembly to the second furniture subassembly. One of the first fitting and the second fitting is a sliding interference slot with an open end and a blind end, and the other of the first fitting and the second fitting is a sliding tongue slidably introducible in the open end of the interference slot.

Abstract: A stand for a firepit includes a number of uprights spaced apart to receive a firepit, a horizontal support fixedly attached to the uprights and configured to be adjacent to the firepit when the fire pit is received between the uprights, a number of leg uprights extending from the uprights, a number of cross members extending from the leg uprights and toward a central hub, and a number of legs selectively connectable to the leg uprights.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a body portion and a sliding portion. The body portion has a curved top portion with an inwardly extending arcuate side portion. The sliding portion is attached to a bottom surface of the body portion and is formed from rigid plastic so as to have a reduced coefficient of friction with a surface on which the pet toy is to slide.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a first section, a second section and a slide lock. The first section has a distal end and a proximal end, and a handle disposed at the proximal end. The second section has a distal end and a proximal end, and a gripper disposed at the distal end. The proximal end of the second section is pivotally attached to the distal end of the first section to form a hinge. The slide lock is configured to slide along at least one of the first and second sections so as to overlie the proximal end of the second section and the distal end of the first section to cover the hinge, locking the hinge and prohibiting pivotal movement between the first section and the second section.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a pet toy includes preforming one or more rubber compound sheets, preforming a foam rubber core in a desired shape, enclosing the foam rubber core within the one or more rubber compound sheets so that the foam rubber core forms an inner part and the one or more rubber compound sheets form an outer part, and coating the outer part enclosing the inner part.

Abstract: A reversible lid, the reversible lid includes a covering portion and a circumferential portion. The circumferential portion has a first part, a second part and a transverse part. The first part has a first end and a second end and extends generally parallel from the periphery of the covering portion at the first end. The transverse part extends radially outwardly transverse from the second end of the first part, and the second part extends in a same direction as the first part and is connected to the transverse part. The first part, the second part and traverse part are configured such that in a first orientation the lid covers the container with a first side of the transverse part abutting a rim of the container and in a second orientation covers the container with the second side of the transverse part abutting the rim of the container.

Abstract: A foldable pet enclosure includes a main section and a roof section. The main section defines a pair of side walls, a pair of end walls and a bottom wall. The pair of side walls are attached to opposite sides of the bottom wall by first hinge areas and the pair of end walls are attached to opposite ends of the bottom wall by second hinge areas. The roof section is dimensioned to fit atop the main section with the pair of side walls folded upward along the first hinge areas from the bottom wall and with the pair of end walls folded upward along the second hinge areas from the bottom wall.

Abstract: A gyroscopic pet toy having a transparent sphere, a base member, a first magnet, an arm and a winged figure. The base member has central area and an outer edge area. The first magnet is installed to the base member proximate the central area. The arm is attached to the base member proximate a portion of the outer edge area. The arm extends upwardly over the central area of the base member. The winged figure hangs downwardly from a string-like element attached to a distal end of the arm. The winged figure is located above and spaced apart from the central area of the base member. The winged figure has a second magnet disposed therein with the first and second magnets being oriented to interact with one another. The base member, the first magnet, the arm and the winged figure are all moveably installed within the transparent sphere.

Abstract: An inflatable ball includes an inner layer. an intermediate layer and an outer layer. The inner layer has an inflatable bladder for storing air. The intermediate layer is provided over the inner layer. the intermediate layer including ethylene vinyl acetate. The outer layer is provided over the intermediate layer. The outer layer includes rubber.

Abstract: A folding cage that includes a base member, an upper member and a plurality of columns. The plurality of columns each extend between the base member and the upper member connecting the base member to the upper member. At least one of the plurality of columns is attached to the base member for pivotal movement with respect thereto and at least one of the plurality of columns is attached to the upper member for pivotal movement with respect thereto.

Abstract: Pet toys for use with various launchers are described herein. In an example embodiment, a pet toy comprises a body including a first body portion and a second body portion. The first body portion is sized and configured to be positioned within a first launcher. The second body portion is sized and configured to be positioned within a second launcher. The second body portion is a different size than the first body portion.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a first deformable member and a second deformable member. The first deformable member has a first receiving opening and a second receiving opening. The second deformable member has a first end that is received in the first receiving opening. The second deformable member has a second end that is received in the second receiving opening of the first deformable member. The second deformable member is more deformable than the first deformable member.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a first ring section and a second ring section. The first ring section includes a first body with an outer peripheral surface, and a connector. The first body is rigid and includes a groove. The second ring section includes a second body connected to the first body by the connector. The second body is at least partially elastic and sized and configured to be removably positioned within at least a portion of the groove.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a base, a stem, a reservoir and a fluid emitter. The base has an arcuate shaped bottom. The stem extends from a top of the base. The reservoir is housed in the base. The fluid emitter is in fluid connection with the reservoir. The fluid emitter emits fluid from the reservoir to be expelled from an outlet located at the top of the base.
