Abstract:

The combination of a toy and launcher member for use in providing chase activities for pets, the toy being toroidally shaped and propelled by a whipping stroke of an elongated launch member having a gripper at one end which is engaged with a segment of the perimeter of the toy.

A01K 15/02

US Classification:

119707, 119702, 119710, 446489, 446124

Abstract:

A bird toy for stimulating a foraging instinct by surrounding a treat on a platform on a main body with one or more substantially transparent rings rotatable and vertically slidable on the main body. In one or more rotative positions of the ring or rings turned by a pet bird, the ring or rings are allowed to shift vertically to make the treat accessible. A bottom platform allows a more difficult test, requiring the bird to lift the ring or rings to expose a treat on the bottom platform after rotating the rings to the correct position allowing the rings to be lifted.

Abstract:

Computer systems and a computer-implemented method for valuing a life insurance policy in which a policy valuation program stored on a computer readable medium includes a data collection module and a life expectancy adjustment module, and a policy valuation module. In operation, according to one embodiment, the policy valuation computer program is operative to receive information related to a life insurance policy, initiate the data collection module programmed to communicate with one or more remote data repositories to search for and retrieve data related to mortality indicators for the insured, initiate the life expectancy adjustment module programmed to correlate the retrieved mortality indicators against mortality information to calculate an expected change in life expectancy based on the change in mortality, and calculate a value for the life insurance policy based on the expected change in life expectancy using the policy valuation module.

Assignee:

THE KONG COMPANY, LLC - GOLDEN CO

International Classification:

A01K 5/01
A01K 15/02

Abstract:

A treat dispensing pet toy is shaped and weighted to remain in a normally upright position to dispense treats when contacted by an animal during interaction with the toy. The pet toy has a dome shaped base and a ring or donut-shaped cover connected to the base. A treat dispensing port is arranged on an inside circumferential edge of the cover. A central opening of the cover exposes a feeding tray. The feeding tray and inside circumferential edge define a partially enclosed area to function as a feeding bowl. Edible treats are loaded inside the cover. As the animal contacts the toy, treats are moved within the cover and pass through the dispensing port onto the feeding tray. A diverter disposed within the cover facilitates movement of the treats for easier dispensing of the treats onto the feeding tray. A method includes use of the pet toy to dispense treats.
