Embodiment Construction

[0038]Referring to Figure 1, there is shown an animal chew embodying the present invention. A micro battery 18 is housed inside the animal chew 10, which may be a rechargeable battery. The voltage of the battery can be from about 1.5v to 4.5v. Battery 18 includes a first electrode 20 and a second electrode 22 .

[0039] The first conductor 24 is coupled to the first electrode 20 and extends in a direction inside the animal chew 10 . The first conductor 24 is exposed to the outside through a plurality of first holes 28 .

[0040] Similarly, a second conductor 26 is coupled to the second electrode 22 of the battery 18 and extends within the interior of the animal chew 10 in a direction opposite to that of the first battery. The second conductor is exposed to the outside through the plurality of second holes 30 .

[0041] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the first conductor 24 and the second conductor 26 can be fabricated using conventional materials such as copp...

Abstract

An improved animal chew comprising a low voltage battery and various conductors such that when an animal chews on the present invention an electrical circuit is formed and a micro-current flows. This micro-current has therapeutic effects on the animal's teeth and gums, and optionally, low concentrations of certain trace metals are released which similarly have beneficial results regarding the animal's oral hygiene. In addition, upon chewing, calcium ions and / or fluoride ions can be discharged. Finally, in optional embodiment, ultrasonic sound waves can be generated when an animal chews on the present invention which further assists in removal of plaque from the animal's teeth and gums.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improved animal chew toy, which includes a battery and a plurality of conductors, so that when the animal chews the chew of the present invention, a small current is generated to flow. Background technique [0002] US Patent No. 5,827,565 states that most dogs are willing to chew a variety of different objects, although their preferences for the hardness of these objects vary. Some dogs like to chew on very hard materials such as beef bones, wood, nylon, etc. And some dogs, due to their age, may not be able to chew very hard materials. This is because young dogs' teeth are not yet fully developed, while older dogs may have diseased gums or have lost some teeth. [0003] Various examples of hard chews, soft chews, non-digestible chews, and digestible chews are included in the prior art. However, all of these prior art animal chews rely solely on mechanical action, the chewing action of the animal, to help remove pl...
