Abstract
A protective head cover for an animal has a first cover portion adjustably fastenable around the neck of the animal and a second closed curvilinear cover portion with a tangential edge which attaches to the first cover portion, and tapering outward sections on either side of the tangential edge. A first fastener part is located on the first cover portion and near the tangential edge of the second cover portion. The first fastener part being can be attached to a second fastener part on the second cover portion. The first and the second fastener parts can be adjustably fastened to each other so as to vary an amount of overlap between the first and the second cover portions.
Claims13
A protective head cover for an animal, the protective head cover comprising:
- a first rectangular cover portion adjustably fastenable around the neck of the animal and a second closed curvilinear cover portion comprising a tangential edge which is attached to a longitudinal side of the first cover portion, and tapering outward sections on either side of the tangential edge, the second cover portion being adjustably fastenable and adapted to cover at least the occiput and ears of the animal;
- a first fastener part located on an outer side of the first cover portion and near the tangential edge of the second cover portion, and a single second fastener part on the second cover portion, the first fastener part being adapted to attach to the single second fastener part,
- wherein the first fastener part and the single second fastener part are located on a first axis located perpendicular to the tangential edge of the second cover portion and central to the head cover between the tapering outward sections in a worn position by the animal,
- wherein the single second fastener part is attached to the second cover portion on a location on the first axis between the tapering outward sections and at a distance from the tangential edge such that a part of the second cover portion is arranged to be disposed in a folding position on top of the first cover portion during a pulling action of the single second fastener part,
- wherein the single second fastener part is a strap configured to be pulled towards the first cover portion, and the first fastener part and the single second fastener part are configured to be adjustably fastened to each other with a variable amount of overlap therebetween to vary spatial overlap between the first and the second cover portions in a direction perpendicular to the tangential edge of the second cover portion,
- wherein the second cover portion further comprises a first extension which extends radially outward from one of the tapering outward sections and a second extension which extends radially outward from the other one of the tapering outward sections, the first and second extensions being provided with fasteners such that the first and second extensions can be adjustably fastened around the neck of the animal, and
- wherein the protective head cover further comprises a third fastener part on an inner side of the first cover portion adjustably fastenable to the single second fastener part, wherein the third fastener part is configured to be adjustably attached to the single second fastener part when the single second fastener part is folded into the first cover portion.
