Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention relates to a customizable basic collar for pets, especially dogs or cats, whose appearance can be easily and flexibly changed by means of interchangeable and removable toppings. A novel fastening system is used, employing an elastic band and metal rods to securely attach the toppings to the collar via a hole. State of the art:
[0002] Traditional pet collars often feature a fixed design that is difficult or impossible to adjust. Accessories or embellishments are frequently permanently attached, limiting personalization and forcing pet owners to purchase multiple collars for different occasions. Task:
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a basic pet collar that is available in various sizes, widths, lengths, colors, and materials, and whose appearance can be changed by using removable toppers. These toppers are available in various sizes, widths, lengths, colors, and materials. Furthermore, a simple and secure attachment system for the toppers is to be developed, enabling quick replacement. Solution:
[0004] The basic collar according to the invention is characterized by its adaptability and the possibility of varying its appearance through removable toppings. The toppings are attached by a special system consisting of an elastic band with a metal rod attached to its end. The basic band itself has holes through which the metal rod of the elastic band is threaded to securely and stably attach the topping to the outside of the collar. Construction: Basic collar: 1. Individual customization: - The basic collar is available in various sizes, widths and lengths to fit the size of the pet. - It is also available in various colours and materials to meet both visual and functional requirements (e.g. leather, nylon, synthetic fabrics). Toppings 2. Individual customization: - The topping is available in various sizes, widths and lengths to match the base collar. - It is also available in various colours and materials to meet both visual and functional requirements (e.g. leather, nylon, synthetic fabrics, pearls, shells, etc.). 3. Attachment system for the toppings: - Each topping is equipped with several flexible rubber bands, each with a small metal rod at its end. - The basic collar has a series of holes along its outside. To attach the topping, the metal rod is threaded through one of the holes in the base band. Once it is through the hole, the elastic band retracts and the metal rod ensures the topping is securely fixed. How it works: - The user can put the basic collar on the pet and then select the desired topping. - The metal rod of the topping is inserted through a hole in the base collar, ensuring quick and easy attachment. - The topping stays securely on the collar, but can be easily removed or replaced if needed. Advantages of the invention: 1. Customizability: The collar can be easily adapted to different occasions, preferences, or moods by changing the toppings. 2. Different versions: The basic collar is available in different sizes, lengths, widths, colours and materials to suit different pets and individual needs. 3. Simple fastening system: Attaching and removing the toppings is very easy thanks to the rubber band and metal rod system and requires no additional tools. 4. Secure fastening: The metal rod threaded through the hole in the base band ensures a stable and secure attachment of the toppings. 5. Diverse designs: The toppings are available in various shapes and designs, allowing the pet owner to easily and regularly change the look of the collar. Scope of protection:
[0005] The scope of protection of this utility model application extends to the individually adjustable base collar in various designs (size, width, length, colors, materials) and adjustable toppings in various designs (size, width, length, colors, materials), as well as the special fastening system for the removable toppings. The fastening system comprises the elastic band with a metal rod and the corresponding holes in the base band for fixing the toppings.
