Description

Title of the invention: Anti-parasite collar

[0001] The present invention relates to devices for maintaining and diffusing an anti-parasite product on an animal, in particular a dog or a cat.

[0002] The present invention aims to provide a collar which minimizes the number of devices used.

[0003] Systems are known for holding a product on an animal, in particular the coat or skin of a dog or cat, which make it possible to hold the product as close as possible to the area to be treated.

[0004] However, known solutions do not allow the product to be distributed over a wide area and have the disadvantage of concentrating the product on a small surface, which limits its effectiveness and may even prove toxic for animals or humans.

[0005] The sheath has a tab for inserting a pest control product, which allows for the retention of a pest control chemical, and this tab avoids having the product on the user's skin and on the animal's hair since the user does not touch the pest control product, which is often extremely toxic to humans, and is particularly dangerous when a person, especially a child, picks up the animal.

[0006] The invention aims to overcome at least some of the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a two-in-one system anti-parasite collar which is capable of combining the advantages of speed, simplicity and reliability for its implementation to treat an animal.

[0007] In view of the above, the subject of the invention is an anti-parasite collar for animals intended to accommodate an anti-parasite chemical product for animals, comprising a strap, two complementary closing elements configured to be able to close the collar in a loop closed on itself, a sheath linked to the strap, said sheath comprising an inner face provided with a microperforated body and an outer face made of a waterproof material, that is to say waterproof to an anti-parasite treatment molecule included in the chemical product, the inner face being provided with a pocket having an opening and configured to allow the diffusion of the anti-parasite treatment molecule through said microperforated body.

[0008] Preferably, the sheath is fixed to the strap.

[0009] For example, the sheath is mounted in translation on the strap so as to be able to slide along the strap and around it.

[0010] Advantageously, the sheath comprises a finishing thickness around the perimeter of said sheath.

[0011] According to one embodiment, the complementary closure elements are two complementary male and female clip clasps configured to cooperate with each other.

[0012] In one embodiment, the clip clasps are curved.

[0013] Advantageously, the collar comprises at least one tightening loop configured to increase or shorten the length of the strap.

[0014] The collar may further provide that the pocket is arranged in the center of the sheath.

[0015] Alternatively, the pouch is disposed near one end of the sheath.

[0016] The invention also relates to a collar in which the microperforated body is composed of a material comprising polyester and / or microalveolar fabric of the “mesh” or “air mesh” type.

[0017] The invention will be better understood from the detailed study of some embodiments taken as non-limiting examples and illustrated by the appended drawings, in which:

[0018] [Fig. 1] represents the collar according to a first embodiment, in front view.

[0019] [Fig.2] represents the collar according to the first embodiment, in rear view.

[0020] [Fig.3] represents the collar according to a second embodiment, in front view.

[0021] [Fig.4] represents the collar according to the second embodiment, in rear view.

[0022] [Fig.5] represents the collar according to a third embodiment, in front view.

[0023] [Fig.6] represents the collar according to the third embodiment, in rear view.

[0024] [Fig. 1] illustrates the collar of the invention in front view, according to a first mode of realization.

[0025] In the first embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 in front and rear views, the antiparasitic collar for animals 1 comprises a strap 3, two complementary closing elements 4, 5 configured to be able to close the collar 1 in a loop closed on itself, a sheath 2 linked to the strap 3, said sheath 2 comprising an inner face provided with a microperforated body and an outer face made of waterproof material, the inner face being provided with a pocket 11 having an opening 12 and configured to allow the diffusion of an antiparasitic treatment molecule through said microperforated body.

[0026] The strap 3 comprises, for example, loops and folds 9, the folds forming loops into which said loops are inserted.

[0027] The invention thus relates to a collar 1 offering combined protection against fleas and ticks, mosquitoes, in particular tiger mosquitoes, and more generally against animal parasites, in particular dogs and cats, while ensuring increased comfort for the animal.

[0028] It can be provided that the opening 12 comprises a buttonhole opening, with an elastic element, a lace, etc., for inserting a capsule of antiparasitic product.

[0029] The microperforated body forms an aerated porous sheath in contact with which is installed the anti-parasite product, which allows its internal diffusion over a wide area, up to the animal, at the level of its skin or its coat, as close as possible to the area to be treated.

[0030] Preferably, the sheath 2 is fixed to the strap 3, as in the first embodiment, as well as in the second embodiment illustrated by Figures 3 and 4.

[0031] The sheath 2 is for example fixed to the strap 3 by stitching 13.

[0032] In the third embodiment illustrated by Figures 5 and 6, the sheath 2 is mounted in translation on the strap 3 so as to be able to slide along the strap 3 and around it.

[0033] The sheath 2 then has two openings 6,7 through which the strap 3 passes.

[0034] An improved design is obtained with additional particularly advantageous pattern options.

[0035] Thus, two designs are described: the first with an adjustable strap and an attached fabric sheath, the second with a fixing of these elements to each other.

[0036] Both options include a mesh backing to form the microperforated body to facilitate efficient transfer of treatment to the correct location, including a microalveolar "mesh" or "air mesh" type fabric.

[0037] The product is available in four adjustable sizes (S / M / L / XL).

[0038] Advantageously, the sheath 2 comprises a finishing thickness 10 around the perimeter of said sheath 2, which makes it possible to improve the aesthetic appearance, in particular by protecting the perimeter of the sheath.

[0039] According to one embodiment, the complementary closure elements 4, 5 are two complementary male and female clip clasps configured to cooperate with each other.

[0040] In one embodiment, the clip clasps 4,5 are curved, which makes it possible to improve the comfort of the animal, since said clip clasps 4,5 and the loop formed by the strap 3 and the sheath 2 form a substantially circular loop around the neck of said animal.

[0041] Advantageously, the collar 1 comprises at least one tightening loop 8 configured to increase or shorten the length of the strap 3.

[0042] The collar 1 may further provide that the pocket 11 is arranged in the center of the sheath 2, which improves the homogeneity of the diffusion of the anti-parasite product.

[0043] Alternatively, the pouch 11 is arranged near one end of the sheath 2, which allows for increased comfort.

[0044] The invention also relates to a collar in which the microperforated body is composed of a material comprising polyester and / or microalveolar fabric of the “mesh” or “air mesh” type, which is an anglicism designating a type of mid- alveolar known in the industrial field of sports textiles.

[0045] This provides effective anti-parasite protection combined with the effect of the collar 1 and a chemical treatment which can be added, and left to the discretion of the animal's owner, who can use a chemical treatment or not.

[0046] The increase in comfort and safety for the animal is real, since it only has one single collar around its neck.

[0047] To use the collar 1, it is sufficient to insert a treatment capsule into the pouch 1, which is for example in a net of the diffusing inner face of the collar 1, to attach the collar 1 around the neck of the animal, and to use the two complementary closing elements 4,5 and the buckle 8 to adjust to the perfect size of the collar 1 to the animal, so that the treatment penetrates effectively through the mid-croperforated body and on the neck area of ​​the animal.
