Appl. No.:

09/591167

Inventors:

Brian Boesch - Oak Hill VA 20171
Jon L. Roberts - Great Falls VA

Assignee:

Brian Boesch - Oak Hill VA

International Classification:

A01K 1502

US Classification:

119719, 119721

Abstract:

An animal training device for administering audio and physical encouragement to an animal. An animal worn device comprising sod and shock producing elements is attached to a leash or lead. A transducer or similar strength measuring means is connected to the shock and sound producers of the animal worn device. The leash or lead is connected to the transducer. As the animal pulls of the lead, the transducer measures the strength of the pull. When the pull strength of the naimal reaches a first level, an audio tone is sounded. If the strength of pull exceeds a second level a shock is administered to the animal. In this fashion the animal learns not to pull to hard on a lead. In an alternate embodiment, the trainer has a transmitter with variable signal strength. The animal worn device had a receiver that senses the signal strength. IF the signal strength drops to a preset limit indicative of distance from the transmitter, a tone is sounded.

International Classification:

F21S 4/00

US Classification:

36224901, 362310, 362267

Abstract:

An LED light bulb having separately addressable groupings of LED's. The LED light bulb can serve as a visual indicator of emergency or non-emergency conditions by selectively illuminating groupings of LED's in a variety of colors, each color corresponding to a predetermined condition.

In an alternate embodiment, the trainer has a transmitter with variable signal strength. The animal worn device had a receiver that senses the signal strength. If the signal strength drops to a preset limit indicative of distance from the transmitter, a tone is sounded. Further signal drop results in the a shock being delivered. Again in this way the animal learns the distance from the trainer that the animal can go without some form of restraint.

International Classification:

A01K015/02

US Classification:

119720000

Abstract:

An animal training device for administering audio stimulus and physical encouragement to an animal. The trainer has a transmitter with variable signal strength. The animal worn device had a receiver that senses the signal strength. If the signal strength drops to a preset limit indicative of distance from the transmitter, a tone is sounded. Further signal drop results in a shock being delivered. In this way the animal learns the distance from the trainer that the animal can go without some form of restraint. The transmitted signal strength, and thus, the training perimeter, is spontaneously adjustable by the trainer at the transmitter.
