Description

Background of the invention

[0001] Owners of small animals in the home want to play with their animals and also communicate with them for therapeutic purposes (e.g., on therapy chairs, beds in hospitals, facilities for the disabled, or retirement and nursing homes) - wherever possible. However, this is counteracted by the fact that small animals, unless kept in cages, are mainly found on the floor and force the owner to bend over, which is uncomfortable for many people - especially the elderly and those with disabilities. The obvious solution is to place the animals in a seat and, for example, padded baskets on a pedestal or table. This is suitable for very lively animals such as cats or monkeys, but is often rejected for reasons of cleanliness and hygiene, as well as the protection of writing utensils, computer peripherals, and documents. Task

[0002] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device with which pets, in particular dogs, can be lifted to any height at any time and remain there according to the owner's instructions, as well as to enable easier mobility of the location by means of castors with a parking brake. Solution

[0003] The solution consists of a kind of platform on which a cushion or basket is mounted that meets the animal's needs. State of the art

[0004] There are different types of height-adjustable pet stands, including: 1. Pet car seat: These seats are attached to the car and provide an elevated seating position for the pet, allowing it to better view out the window. (See US 5 785 003 A) 2. Portable seats: These seats can also be used outside the car and provide an elevated seating position for the pet, e.g. when camping or picnicking. 3. Bicycle baskets: There are also height-adjustable bicycle baskets for pets that allow you to carry your pet safely on your bike and offer a better view. (See US Pat. No. 5,577,646 A) 4. Stroller seats: Some height-adjustable pet seats can also be attached to strollers to keep the pet in an elevated position during walks.

[0005] These are just a few examples of the different types of height-adjustable pet stands available on the market. Description based on the drawing Fig.Figure 1 shows a dog (1)—which can also be another pet—on a seat (2) whose height can be adjusted via haptic function buttons (3) on the base plate (5) and mechanically and / or manually via the lever (8). The support rod (4) and the seat (2) can be extended electrically, pneumatically, and / or hydraulically. The base plate can be mounted on casters (6) with a parking brake (7).
