  • Patent number: 8305226
    Abstract: A drinking-water level alarm lamp for being placed in a water feeder includes a watertight casing including therein a lamp, a rolling ball tilt switch, a battery and a weight. When the water feeder contains drinking water, the drinking-water level alarm lamp half floats above the water by virtue of the inner space of the watertight casing and the weight. When the water feeder contains no drinking water, the drinking-water level alarm lamp lies at a bottom of the water feeder. The drinking-water level alarm lamp uses the presence and absence of the drinking water in and from the water feeder to change a position of the drinking-water level alarm lamp, so that the rolling ball tilt switch in the drinking-water level alarm lamp is accordingly switched to turn on or off the lamp.

  • Patent number: 8069822
    Abstract: A pet exercise wheel assembly having a light-emitting device includes an exercise wheel made of a material pervious to light. The exercise wheel has a tapered sleeve projecting from a center of the exercise wheel and is axially formed with a penetrating channel. A light-emitting device has a casing coupled to the tapered sleeve of the exercise wheel. The light-emitting device has a circuit board formed with a central hole and provided with at least a lamp, a battery, a rocker switch, and an IC chip that are electrically connected with each other, with the lamp exposed at an exterior of the casing. Thereby, rotation of the exercise wheel drives the light-emitting device to rotate, so that the rocker switch in the light-emitting device is rocked to close a loop of the circuit board, thus causing the lamp to blink and provide a visual entertaining effect.

  • Publication number: 20100282179
    Abstract: A combination-type pet cage is constructed as follows. Two lateral panels are assembled to a base by inserting flanges and screw rod sections extended from lower ends of the lateral panels into corresponding slots and holes of the base. Then, a front panel and a rear panel are attached to the lateral panels by fitting receiving portions of the front and rear panels onto projections formed at front ends and rear ends of the lateral panels, so that flanges and screw rod sections extended from lower ends of the front and rear panels pass through corresponding slots and holes of the base. The lateral, front, and rear panels are secured in position to the base by wing nuts. Finally, a top panel is secured in position to upper ends of the lateral, front, and rear panels. Plural such pet cages are connectable and easily securable in position to one another.

  • Patent number: 7699025
    Abstract: An improved structure of a feeder for supplying water and pet food is disclosed. Therein, a base has a shifting space adjacent to a side of a bowl settled in the base so as to receive a dispensing controller. A container unit equipped with a hopper and a water supplier is provided on top of the dispending controller. The dispensing controller can be shifted in the shifting space so that an opening limit is formed when projections formed on two rear ends of the dispensing controller abut against blocks provided bilaterally in the shifting space, and a closing limit is formed when a groove of the dispensing controller abuts against a stop plate formed at a rear section of the shifting space. Thus, the container unit can be easily opened to dispense pet food or closed to not dispense pet food.

  • Publication number: 20090288613
    Abstract: A pet cage assembly comprises two lateral panels, a front panel, a rear panel, a bottom panel and a top panel. Each of the lateral panels comprises an upper and a lower sub-panel, each formed with fasteners extending inwards from two ends thereof for engaging with cavities formed on corresponding edges of the front and rear panels. Each of the lower sub-panels is formed with an extended, engaging portion adjacent to a section thereof to which the front panel is assembled, so that the front panel can be retained bilaterally by the engaging portions. The lateral, front and rear panels are fastened to a bottom side of the top panel, which is formed with an opening for receiving an upper door resiliently engaged therein. The rear panel comprises a frame pivotally attached by a rear door, which is resiliently engaged at an edge thereof with the frame.
