  • Publication number: 20110259282
    Abstract: A pet toy is provided having multiple elements interconnected or intertwined in a manner that the elements, combined, function as a single toy unit, and when the members are pulled apart or disconnected then each separable element functions similarly on its own. Each toy member is formed as a separate component and forms a generally helical body member terminating at least one end by a thematic caricature formed as a plush doll or plush toy element. The body member is formed of a outer covering having an otherwise generally elongated outer shell adapted such as to create arcuate or compound arcuate centerline such as to urge the body member to wrap about itself or other similar structure. The friction of the outer surfaces provide a fictional, torsion, compression or other non-magnetic or non-adhesive attachment, cling or connection between the toys. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
