Abstract
A toy apparatus for a horse to play with when kept in a stall of a stable. The toy apparatus includes an elongated rod member, a base frame member to support the elongated rod member on the stall, and a connection system to pivotally connect the elongated rod member to the base frame member in a manner such that, when the toy apparatus is in an installation position on the stall, the elongated rod member is to project into the stall for engagement by the horse which causes the elongated rod member to pivot relative to the base frame member.
Claims20
A toy apparatus for a horse kept in a stall of a stable, the toy apparatus comprising:
- an elongated rod member comprising one or more slits and/or through holes;
- a base frame member to support the elongated rod member on the stall;
- and
- a three-point connection system, comprising one or more elastic members to pivotally connect the elongated rod member to the base frame member in a manner such that, when the toy apparatus is in an installation position on the stall, the elongated rod member is to project into the stall for engagement by the horse which causes the elongated rod member to pivot relative to the base frame member,
- wherein the one or more elastic members comprise at least a first elastic member extending over or through the one or more slits and/or through holes of the elongated rod member.
A toy apparatus for connection to a stall of a horse stable, the toy apparatus comprising:
- an elongated rod member comprising one or more slits and/or through holes;
- a base frame member to support the elongated rod member on the stall;
- and
- a connection system to pivotally connect the elongated rod member to the base frame member to facilitate movement of the elongated rod member relative to the base frame member when engaged by the horse, the connection system including one or more elastic members to pivotally connect the elongated rod member to the base frame member at a plurality of connection points,
- wherein the one or more elastic members comprise at least a first elastic member extends over or through the one or more slits and/or through holes of the elongated rod member.
A toy apparatus for connection to a stall of a horse stable, the toy apparatus comprising:
- an elongated rod member comprising one or more slits and/or through holes and having a rubber coating at a distal region thereof;
- a base frame member to support the elongated rod member on the stall, the base frame member including a pair of spaced apart base frame arms extending from a base frame support;
- and
- a connection system to pivotally connect the elongated rod member to the base frame member to facilitate movement of the elongated rod member relative to the base frame member when engaged by the horse, the connection system including a first elastic member connected to the base frame support at a first connection point, and a second elastic member connected to a first base frame arm at a second connection point on the base frame member and to a second base frame arm to a third connection point on the base frame member,
- wherein the first elastic member extends over or through the one or more slits and/or through holes of the elongated rod member.
