[0007] The neck region around which the strap is arrangeable may be a region of the animal that lies between its head and its shoulders. The strap may be arrangeable at least partially around the neck region of the animal. The strap, together with the attachment device, may have an elongated extension that makes the collar releasably arrangeable around the neck region of the animal. The elongated extension of the strap may have a dimension that allows the first end and the second end of the strap to overlap when arranged around the neck region. The attachment device may be arranged or arrangeable at the first end and the second end, respectively, to provide the releasable arrangement around the neck. Arrangable may mean connectable. Arrangable may mean that it is possible to establish a desired arrangement and to separate or detach this arrangement again. Arranged may mean permanently attached.

[0008] The first end and the second end may be opposite end regions of the belt. The first end and the second end may be opposite each other along the longitudinal extent of the belt.

[0009] The attachment device can be configured to allow the strap to be releasably arranged around the neck region. For this purpose, the attachment device can connect the first end and the second end of the strap to one another via the first receiving means, the second receiving means, and the connecting means. Thus, the strap can be arranged, in particular releasably arranged, around the neck region of the animal. The attachment device can be at least one attachment device. The at least one attachment device can be a first attachment device.

[0010] The first and second receiving means can be made of the same or a different material as the belt. The first receiving means can be made of a first material and the second receiving means of a second material. The first material and the second material can be the same or different materials. The first material and / or the second material can be, for example, leather, fabric, in particular textile fabric, plastic, for example synthetic fibers or synthetic fabric, or another sufficiently strong material.

[0027] In a further embodiment, the connecting means may comprise a closure element, wherein the closure element is configured to close or release a connection opening of the connecting means, wherein the closure element is configured to be movable with one hand from a closed position to a released position.

[0028] The released position can enable the connection means to be arranged with one of the plurality of receiving elements. The released position can enable the connection means to be released from one of the plurality of receiving elements. The closed position can prevent the connection means from being released from one of the plurality of receiving elements.

[0029] The closure element can be designed to lock or release the arrangement of the connecting means with one of the plurality of receiving elements. The closure element can be movable, for example pivotable, between the closed position and the released position for locking and releasing. The closure element can have a rest position, wherein the rest position is the closed position. The closure element can, for example, be mounted pivotably about a pivot point. The closure element can have a fixing point at which the closure element is arranged on the connecting means. The pivot point can be the fixing point. Opposite sides of the closure element can each have a pivot point and / or a fixing point. The closure element can be designed to extend circumferentially between the opposite pivot points and / or fixing points.The closure element can be designed such that, in the released position, it overlaps the connecting means at least in a partial area. The pivot point and / or the fixing point can also represent a surface. The closure element can, for example, be movable through an angle of less than 90 degrees between the closed position and the released position. The closure element can have a contact area with the connecting means, wherein the contact area blocks the pivoting of the closure element in a direction opposite to the direction for moving the closure element into the released position. As a result, movement of the closure element in one direction can be blocked and unintentional release of the connecting means from one of the plurality of receiving elements can be prevented.Alternatively or additionally, the closure element can have a holding device, wherein the holding device holds the closure element in the closed position. The holding device can be formed integrally with the closure element. This allows the load requirements on the closure element, in particular on the pivot point and / or the fixing point, to be reduced. The closure element can be formed, for example, from a metal or plastic or other sufficiently strong material. The closure element can have sufficient rigidity to provide the closed position. The closure element can be formed in one piece or from multiple parts. The closure element can have an elongated and rectangular shape with rounded corners that runs circumferentially between the fixing points and / or pivot points.The closure element, particularly in the circumferential configuration, can have two longitudinal sides, each extending on one side of the connecting means. In the circumferential configuration, the two longitudinal sides can be connected in an area remote from the pivot point.

[0030] The connecting means can have a groove in the region of the connecting opening, which enlarges the connecting opening outwardly in cross-section. This can simplify the arrangement of the connecting means in one of the plurality of receiving elements, in particular in one of the plurality of loops. The connecting opening can be designed to accommodate a part of one of the plurality of receiving elements.

[0032] The locking element can secure the positioning of the connecting means in one of the plurality of receiving elements, thus preventing accidental release. The locking element can also enable easy positioning of the connecting means in one of the plurality of receiving elements. In particular, the positioning of the connecting means in one of the plurality of receiving elements and the release can be done with one hand. This allows the user to use the other hand freely, for example, to hold the animal. This can increase safety for the user, the animal, and other people, as it allows for improved control over the animal. Furthermore, the comfort of attaching the collar can be improved.

[0033] In a further embodiment, the closure element can be designed as a spring element which has a spring force, wherein the spring force holds the closure element in the closed position and the closure element can be moved into the released position by overcoming the spring force.

[0034] The closure element can be formed by a spring element that is elastically movable about the pivot point. The spring element can be elastically deformable in a partial region. The elastic deformation can cover at least the region between the closed position and the released position. The spring force can act counter to the direction of movement to reach the released position. The spring element can form the closure element. Alternatively, the closure element can be arranged with a spring such that the spring force holds the closure element in the closed position and the closure element can be moved into the released position by overcoming the spring force. The holding device of the closure element can accordingly be formed by the spring element. The closure element can be designed to extend away from the connecting means at least in a partial region.

[0035] The spring element can represent a simple design to prevent the unintentional release of the connecting means from one of the plurality of receiving elements. Furthermore, the spring element enables easy insertion of the connecting means into one of the plurality of receiving elements. Both insertion and release can be performed by the user with one hand thanks to the spring element. Furthermore, the comfort of attaching the collar can be improved.

[0036] In a further embodiment, the closure element and the spring element can be formed in one piece as a metal element extending away from the connecting means in a partial area.

[0037] The metal element can be circumferentially elongated and rectangular in shape with rounded corners. The extending portion can be provided by post-processing, for example bending. The metal element can have a round or square cross-section. The metal element can be made of an elastically deformable metal so that movement between the closed position and the released position is possible. The portion can lie between the pivot point and the connection opening of the connecting means. Extending away can mean that the closure element has a greater distance from the connecting means in the portion than in another portion of the closure element. The portion can extend in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the closure element.The partial region can be designed such that a one-handed movement of the closure element from the closed position to the released position is supported and / or enabled. The partial region can be designed such that, upon reaching the released position, the extending partial region overlaps the connecting means or is at least plane-parallel to the corresponding surface of the connecting means. The extending partial region can provide a simple and cost-effective design for the application of force against the spring force. Furthermore, this design can have no additional components. Thus, a simple design for moving the closure element can be provided. Furthermore, the comfort of attaching the collar can be improved.

[0038] In a further embodiment, the closure element may comprise a button, wherein the button is configured to move the closure element into the released position by a user.

[0039] The knob can be configured so that the closure element can be moved from the closed position to the released position with one hand. The knob can be designed as an operating element for the closure element. The knob can be formed in the partial area extending away from the closure element. The knob can at least partially surround or fill the partial area extending away. Alternatively, the knob can form the partial area extending away. The knob can be designed in the form of a clamping piece, wherein in the released position the clamping piece is arranged around a partial area of the surface of the connecting means.

The body can extend away from the first arm and the second arm. The body can cover at least a partial region of the animal, in particular the back region and the adjacent abdominal region. The body can have further arm-like widenings running towards the hind legs of the animal. This can improve the coverage. The widenings can also be in the region of the second strap of the harness. The opening of the first arm and the opening of the second arm can run at least over a partial region of an elongated extension of the first or second arm.This allows the receiving area to be enlarged, which can have a beneficial effect on wearing comfort and positioning. The opening can also be considered a passageway.

[0095] In a further embodiment, at least a portion of a surface of the cover that is visible in an attached state can be reflective and / or at least a portion of the surface of the cover can be water-repellent.

[0096] The attached state can be the state in which the cover is arranged on the harness or collar on the animal. Reflective can mean that a surface of the cover or a portion of the surface of the cover, particularly the surface visible when attached, is made of a material that reflects incident light. The cover can thus be designed as a reflective cover. This can improve the visibility of the cover and therefore of the animal, particularly in poor visibility conditions, such as walking in the dark or in fog. Furthermore, the general visibility of the animal can be improved, for example when hunting.Water-repellent can mean that the surface of the cover or a section of the surface of the cover is made of a material that at least partially prevents or reduces the penetration of water on the surface. Water-repellent can mean water-resistant or waterproof. This can improve protection against weather conditions such as wetness, particularly rain and snow. A measure of the ability to repel water can be specified by a water column value. The water column value of the textile cover can be at least 1500mm (protection against light rain; water-repellent), preferably 5000mm (protection against moderate rain; water-resistant), more preferably at least 10000mm (protection against heavy rain; waterproof). The cover can thus be designed as a water-repellent cover. The visible surface of the textile cover can be fully reflective.The surface of the textile cover can be fully water-repellent. The textile cover can be made entirely or partially of a reflective and / or water-repellent material. The textile cover can be multi-layered, for example, consisting of a reflective top layer and a water-repellent bottom layer. This embodiment can enable the cover to be configured as a reflective vest and / or rain gear, thereby improving visibility and protection against weather conditions.

[0097] In a further embodiment, the body may have a receptacle, wherein the receptacle is designed to receive a handle of the harness.

[0098] The receptacle can have an elongated cut with an optional material recess at at least one of the two ends of the elongated cut. The elongated cut can run in the cover corresponding to the handle when attached. This allows the handle of the harness to be used despite the textile cover being attached. This increases safety, as the animal can be held using the handle despite the cover being attached. Furthermore, the cover can be fixed in place in addition to the harness by accommodating the handle. The material recess can be designed to provide a passage for the element, in particular the D-ring or the standing D-ring for connecting the leash. This allows the leash to be connected to the harness despite the cover being in place. The material recess can be designed to correspond to an arrangement of the element on the harness. The material recess can, for example, be rectangular.

[0099] In a further embodiment, the cover may comprise further attachment elements.

[0100] The additional attachment elements can be connected to corresponding attachment elements on the harness or collar. For example, the additional attachment elements can be designed as Velcro or a zipper. This can improve the fit of the cover with the harness or collar, thus making it more comfortable to wear. This can advantageously protect the animal from rain and make it visible.

[0101] In a further embodiment, the cover may include a neck portion extending away from the body, between the first arm and the second arm.

[0102] The neck section can be formed integrally with the rest of the cover. The neck area can, for example, have a processing area, for example in the form of a connecting seam, wherein the processing area is designed to form the neck area protruding from the surface of the body of the cover. Accordingly, the neck section can be formed so that it protrudes toward the animal's head when attached. This allows the neck area to be additionally protected and / or made visible. For example, the neck section can prevent rain from penetrating under the cover.

[0103] A fourth aspect relates to a ring forming an opening for attaching a leash, the ring having a spacing means for spacing the opening formed by the ring from a support surface.

[0104] The ring can be designed as a standing ring, in particular a standing D-ring. The ring can have a semicircular shape in side view, with a straight section and an arcuate section. The ring can be formed in one piece. The ring can be made of a metal or other material with sufficient strength, for example plastic. The ring can be closed and the opening can correspondingly be a closed opening. The spacing means can be designed to make the opening of the ring accessible for attaching the leash. This allows a leash, in particular a connecting element of the leash, to be connected to the ring easily, in particular with one hand, without a user having to hold the ring. The ring can be at least partially spanned by a material, in particular fabric, preferably textile fabric, so that the ring can be locally fixated to the collar or harness.Spanning can also comprise completely enclosing at least a portion of the ring. The material can arrange the ring on the collar or harness, for example on a strap or on the connecting bar. The ring can in particular be arranged on the connecting bar of the harness, preferably in a rear region of the connecting bar. In the arranged state, the collar or harness, in particular the connecting bar, can form the base. This can ensure that the animal is held securely by the leash. The opening can be pivoted relative to the support surface. This allows the ring to align itself according to the direction in which the animal pulls. The support surface can be formed by the harness or collar.

[0105] In one embodiment, the spacing means may be an angled surface to a plane formed by the opening.

[0106] The angled surface can be configured to extend away from a support surface of the ring. The angled surface can be designed to space the opening of the ring from the support surface. This provides a simple design for the spacing means.

[0107] In one embodiment, the spacing means may comprise two angled surfaces, the two angled surfaces being arranged at an angle to one another about the plane formed by the opening in order to space the opening formed by the ring from the support surface.

[0108] The angled surfaces can each form an end position of the ring. One end position can be a resting position of one of the angled surfaces on the support surface. The end position can be a resting position of the ring. The end position can provide stability against unwanted pivoting movements. The opening can be pivotable between the two end positions. This allows the ring to advantageously adapt to the direction in which the animal pulls. The two angled surfaces can be formed at an angle of less than 90 degrees, in particular approximately 45 degrees, to one another. One of the two angled surfaces can form an end position and the other of the two angled surfaces can form the spacing means.

[0109] In one embodiment, the ring may be formed from two side elements and two webs which form the opening, wherein the ring is symmetrical to the plane formed by the opening.

[0110] The webs can be formed between the two side elements, at diagonally opposite corners and connect the side elements to one another. The side elements can preferably have a parallelogram-like shape. The connecting elements can preferably be arranged at the more distant corners of the parallelogram-like shape. The side elements can be thin-walled. Thin-walled can mean that the depth of the side elements is small compared to their width and height, whereby the width and height form the side surface of the side elements and the depth runs in the direction of the connecting element. One web can contact the support surface at least during pivoting and thus define a pivot axis of the ring. The other web can have a partial region extending away from the support surface. The extending partial region can form an outwardly curved shape.Extending can mean that the distance between the ring and the support surface is changed, particularly increased. This makes it particularly easy to attach the leash to the ring, and the leash can be aligned according to the direction in which the animal is pulling. The other bar can be rounded, at least in part. This can simplify attaching the leash.
