Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for restraining a pet are disclosed herein. A portable pet restraint apparatus includes a body with an end section having a cavity with a lower peripheral edge, a suction device mounted to the body with a vacuum-enabling suction component for placement upon an attachment surface, and a force-transmitting shaft attached to the vacuum-enabling suction component and movable to bring the vacuum-enabling suction component between vacuum-disabling and vacuum-enabling conditions relative to the attachment surface. An actuator lever can be pivotable between enabled and disabled positions to move the force-transmitting shaft and vacuum-enabling suction component therewith between the vacuum-disabling and vacuum-enabling conditions. The apparatus can also include a retractable leash device having a length of leash within a leash housing and extendable therefrom.

Abstract: A urinal includes a urinal body, a urine receiving reservoir and a spout extending therefrom for receiving urine. A supplemental urinal spout is provided and comprises both an inlet portion and a retention portion, the supplemental urinal spout being attachable to the spout of the urinal to form a leak prevention seal. Opposing tabs are provided to aid in attaching the spout to the urinal. The supplemental urinal spout comprises a funnel-shaped element that is integrally formed with a cylindrical sidewall. The urinal body is preferably made of a plastic material and the supplemental urinal spout is made from a low durometer elastomeric material. The urinal and the supplemental urinal spout may be disposable.

Abstract: A urinal includes a urine receiving reservoir and a spout extending therefrom for receiving urine. In a preferred embodiment, the spout may be composed of a bendable resilient material and the reservoir may be composed of the same resilient material. A method of modifying a standard portable urinal by replacing the supplied cap with a flexible extender spout is also disclosed.
