Embodiment Construction

[0042]An improved pet barrier according to the invention is indicated generally at 200 in FIG. 2. Pet barrier 200 includes a first (left) pole 202 and a second (right) pole 204. In use, the poles 202, 204 are disposed on respective vertical axes X1 and X2, are transversely spaced apart from each other, and are parallel to each other. As used herein, “transverse” means a horizontal, side-to-side direction that is orthogonal to the vertical and is orthogonal to the direction of vehicle travel. As used herein, “longitudinal” means a horizontal, fore-and-aft direction that is orthogonal to the vertical, is orthogonal to the transverse direction, and is parallel to the direction of vehicle travel. Each pole 202, 204 has an outer tube 206 and, slidably received into an upper end 208 of the outer tube 206, an elongate vertical upright 210.

[0043]The other major components of pet barrier 200 include at least one, and in many embodiments two, fences 212, 214. Each fence 212, 214 has an upper,...

Abstract

An improved pet barrier has first and second spaced-apart vertical poles and one or more horizontally oriented fences that are affixed to the poles. At least the top ends of the poles terminate in resilient, convexly curved feet. The feet have contact surfaces that are approximately hemitoroidal in shape. Each pole may have a tube and an elongate upright extending out of the tube and may have a coarse adjustment mechanism that permits the vertical insert to extend out of the top end of the tube by one of several preselected heights. Each pole may have a fine adjustment mechanism including a lead screw and a nut that rotates on a groove formed near the end of the pole tube. A fence clamp clamps upper and lower cross bars of the fence to the clamp using a single threaded fastener, the clamping action also affixing the fence to the pole.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Dogs are muscular and agile creatures. Their owners often want to restrict them to the cargo areas of minivans, SUVs, station wagons and like vehicles, but the dogs in question often have other ideas. The dog will often simply leap from the cargo area over the last row of seats—and sometimes over the next row of seats as well. Without modification, a typical vehicle interior presents little impediment to a dog prancing its muddy paws on passengers and their seating and anointing all of the vehicle's side windows with nose juice.[0002]To restrict dogs' boisterous activity and the concomitant mess, pet barriers have been developed which can be installed in vehicle interiors immediately behind a row of seats. One such pet barrier is seen in FIG. 1. The prior art pet barrier 100 has left and right poles or stanchions 102 and 104. Each pole 102, 104 has a threaded cylindrical steel rod 106 that is slidably received within a respective steel tube 108. A to...
