Abstract: A cage for housing an animal includes a top wall, bottom, first and second sidewalls, a front wall and a rear wall. A door is disposed in at least one of the walls and is hinged for movement between an open and closed position. The door is mounted in a wall having a doorway. The door includes a plurality of loops on each side of the door. The wall includes a plurality of loops along each side of the doorway. The door loops are positionable adjacent the wall loops when the door is disposed within the doorway to form mating hinge structures. A hinge pin is selectively insertable into either of the door loops on one edge of the door together with the corresponding loops on the wall, to thereby hingedly mount the door to the wall for door swinging movement in either a first direction or a second direction with respect to the wall.

Abstract: A protective case includes a first shell member and a second shell member connected generally in a clam shell manner. Each shell includes a centrally disposed rigid portion. Each shell member further includes a first flexible portion, which extends from a first side of the rigid portion to adjacent the first side wall boundary of the case, so as to form a portion of the top wall boundary and the bottom wall boundary of the case. A second flexible portion also extends from the second side of the rigid portion to adjacent the second side wall boundary of the case. A zipper is disposed along the top wall boundary and extends from the first side wall boundary to the second side wall boundary. The zipper operatively connects the rigid portion and the flexible portions of the first shell member to the respective corresponding rigid portion and first and second flexible portions of the second shell member.

Abstract: A modular casket that is easy to assemble and can be assembled with few or no tools is disclosed. The casket comprises a number of injection molded plastic pieces that can be snap-fit together. The casket is relatively compact and lightweight and is conducive to shipping and storage, yet has sufficient strength for its intended purpose.

Abstract: A pet shelter includes a bottom member having an edge, a top member having an edge, and a medial member disposed between the top and bottom members. The medial member has a top edge and a bottom edge. The pet shelter includes a lock for selectively interconnecting the bottom member to the bottom edge of the medial member and a lock for selectively interconnecting the top member to the top edge of the medial member. The lock includes a tab disposed in the bottom edge of the medial member and a tab disposed in the edge of the top member. The bottom member includes an aperture for receiving the medial member tab to thereby selectively lock the bottom member to the medial member. The medial member includes an aperture for receiving the top member tab to thereby selectively lock the top member to the medial member.

Abstract: A latch operable between a locked position and an unlocked position for securing a hood to a litter pan includes a rim adapted to be disposed on the hood. The hood rim includes a top wall and a sidewall. The top wall includes an aperture and the sidewall includes a rib. A rim is disposed on the pan and includes a top wall and a sidewall. The top wall includes a rib for insertion into the hood rim top wall aperture. When the latch secures the hood and pan in the locked position, the hood rim is disposed adjacent the pan rim such that the pan rim rib is disposed in the hood rim aperture and the hood rim rib engages the pan rim sidewall to prevent separation of the hood and pan.

Abstract: A self-cleaning litter box having a base, a litter pan, an upper hood and a lower hood. A rake is used to sweep litter clumps disposed in the litter pan and into a waste box. The rake is inserted and removed without the use of tools in order to clean or replace the rake. Liners inside the litter pan and waste box allow for easy cleaning. In addition, the liners are used to protect against pitting and other potential damage. Sensors detect the presence of a cat inside the litter pan. Upon exit, an actuator receives an output signal for actuating the drive assembly. After a predetermined time delay after receipt of the output signal, the raking cycle commences. The actuator includes a switch to allow the pet owner to vary the length of the pre-determined time delay.

Abstract: A latch operable between a locked position and an unlocked position for securing a hood to a litter pan includes a rim adapted to be disposed on the hood. The hood rim includes a top wall and a sidewall. The top wall includes an aperture and the sidewall includes a rib. A rim is disposed on the pan and includes a top wall and a sidewall. The top wall includes a rib for insertion into the hood rim top wall aperture. When the latch secures the hood and pan in the locked position, the hood rim is disposed adjacent the pan rim such that the pan rim rib is disposed in the hood rim aperture and the hood rim rib engages the pan rim sidewall to prevent separation of the hood and pan.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage case for archery equipment and accessories. The storage case contains first and second case sections movable between an open and closed position. An accessory box is releasably connected to one of the case sections. When the case is in the closed position, the accessory box locked in position. A pair of arrow support members are disposed in one of the case sections to support a plurality of arrows therein. The arrow support members are angularly disposed to each other to prevent arrows from disengaging from the support members during transport of the case.

Abstract: A hood for a litter box for collecting cat excretions, the litter box includes a litter pan having an open top, a bottom wall, a rear wall, a front wall and a pair of sidewalls. A waste box is disposed adjacent the litter pan for storing cat excretions. The hood is disposed adjacent the litter pan to cover the litter pan open top. The hood includes a portion operable between first and second positions, such that in the first position, the portion overhangs the waste box to direct odors from the waste box into the hood, and in the second position, the portion allows access to the waste box without removing said hood.

Abstract: A rake for a litter box for collecting pet excrements, the litter box containing a bottom surface, a front wall, a rear wall, a first and second sidewall to define a litter chamber for holding a supply of litter, the rake includes a bar having first and second ends and extends from the first sidewall to the second sidewall and is movable between the front and rear walls. The bar includes a plurality of tines. A rake support is attached to the bar for supporting the first and second ends of the bar for slideable movement between the front and rear walls. A rake arm is connected to the first and second ends of the bar for slideably engaging the rake supports, such that said bar is selectively connectable to the rake supports without using fasteners.
