摘要:
An animal muzzle (100) that is adapted to be placed over an animal's snout, particularly a domestic canine animal such as a dog. The muzzle advantageously prevents the animal from biting a human handler or another animal while permitting the animal to breathe easily and to consume water or food while the muzzle is in place. The muzzle can be fabricated from an elastic material, such as an elastomer.

The invention relates to a muzzle (12) comprising a fastening element (14) for enclosing an animal mouth (10) in order to prevent the opening thereof and elements (20, 22) for holding said fastening element. Said invention is characterised in that the fastening element (14) is connected in such a way that it is exposed to a limited internal force and is blocked when the value of said force is exceed.
摘要:
Comprises two concave pieces (1,2) one upper and one lower, between both of them, the muzzle and mouth of an animal is covered except for a lower opening (14) and which they are joined to each other by means that allow a certain opening and closure of the same ones, in accordance with the movements done by the animal's jaws, and is characterized in that said means of opening and closure are constituted by two points of joint (4), applied respectively to each flank of the muzzle, joining a lateral of one of the pieces (1) with the corresponding one of the other piece (2), having been foreseen means for recuperation with a tendency to the initial closed position of said pieces (1,2) being fixed, said means for recuperation (8), to a point (10) of upper piece (1) and, to a point (12) of the lower piece (2).

La présente invention concerne une muselière empêchant un animal de mordre tout en lui assurant un meilleur confort de manière à inciter notamment les propriétaires de chien de l'utiliser et à garantir la sécurité de la population. La muselière (1) comprend une armature (2) constituée de deux tubes creux assemblés en forme de Y pour épouser la morphologie de la tête du chien, et maintenue en position par une sangle (3) et des liens latéraux (3a, 3b). Elle comprend également une boucle de muselière (4) placée sous la gueule du chien et coulissant dans les tubes creux de l'armature (2) pour régler sa longueur de manière à passer d'une position d'ouverture permettant au chien de s'alimenter et haleter librement à une position de fermeture de la gueule du chien en cas de danger de morsure, ou d'aboiement excessif simplement en tirant sur les extrémités (10) de la boucle de muselière (4).
摘要:
A remotely controllable dog muzzle apparatus (B) includes a cup-shaped snout shield (21) to which is attached an accessory pod (42) provided with stimulus generators such as a stun gun (43) or sensors interactive with a physical environment of a dog fitted with the muzzle (B). In the preferred embodiment, the pod (42) contains a stun gun (43) having a pair of forward projecting electrodes (49), and a high voltage power supply (54) having an ON/OFF control terminal (68) connected to an electronic switch (65) controlled by the demodulated output of a radio receiver (56). The apparatus (B) includes a remote radio transmitter (62) adapted to transmit coded signals on a modulated radio frequency carrier to the receiver, thereby actuating the electronic switch and causing high voltage electrical sparks to arc between the electrodes (49), the sparks encouraging a suspect to obey orders or have pain inflicted by the electrodes (49). The pod (42) may optionally contain a loud speaker connected to the receiver, and a microphone and/or television camera connected to an auxiliary transmitter, to permit two-way communications between a remotely located dog handler and a suspect or a search and rescue victim. Also, the pod (42) may optionally include a mechanism for attaching the pod (42) to other portions of the body of a dog, such as a collar (131) fastened around the neck of a dog.

The invention relates to an apparatus comprising a collar inside of which is a muzzle and an apparatus for placing same. The apparatus is deployed by means of a strap that is initially placed together with a conventional leash and limited in its travel by two or more straps attached to the collar. When the apparatus is deployed, an adjustable loop is situated in a suitable position on the snout and tightens, by means of a mechanism located at the end of the apparatus, if the strap that deploys the apparatus continues to be pulled. The apparatus has various embodiments, among which are the inclusion of a device for retracting and tightening or the substitution of the deployment strap by a rigid or semi-rigid rod. The apparatus is designed particularly, but not exclusively, for dogs.
摘要:
A system and method are provided for diagnosis of animal respiratory diseases using auscultation techniques. Animal lung sounds are recorded and stored as digitized data. Algorithms are applied to the data producing an output indicative of the health of the animal. Another method determines effectiveness of antibiotics administered to animals based upon observed relationships between lung score categories obtained from auscultation. A comparison is made between sample populations of animals that receive different classifications of antibiotics, and this data is compared to lung score categories observed for each of the animals that received the antibiotics. A statistical analysis is conducted to confirm statistical differences in case fatality rates between lung score categories. Insignificant differences in mortality rates across a range of lung score categories indicates the particular antibiotic administered is not effective, whereas a reduced fatality rate associated with lower lung scores indicates a level of antibiotic effectiveness.
