Abstract
Modular pet structure assemblies and related methods are disclosed. The modular pet structures have a base module with a plurality of connection joints for receiving other modules. The base can receive one or more than one vertical modules. The vertical module can attach to the base and includes at least one bi-directional movement mechanism having two spaced apart ends. The at least one bi-directional movement mechanism is configured to move when one of the ends is moved. For example, when a toy attached to one end is moved, a second toy attached to the other end moves in response thereto.
Claims20
A modular pet structure assembly, comprising:
- a base module comprising a plurality of connection joints;
- a vertical module attached to the base module, said vertical module comprising at least one bi-directional movement mechanism having two ends, said bi-directional movement mechanism comprising a first toy connected to a first end and a second toy connected to a second end;
- and
- wherein when one of the first toy and the second toy is moved, the other one of the first toy and the second toy reacts and moves.
A modular pet structure assembly, comprising:
- a base module comprising a plurality of spaced apart connection joints;
- a vertical module comprising an end attached to the base module at one of the connection joints, said vertical module comprising a center section and two outer sections;
- a bi-directional movement mechanism having two ends located at one of the two outer sections, said bi-directional movement mechanism comprising a first toy connected to a first end and a second toy connected to a second end;
- and
- wherein when one of the first toy and the second toy is moved, the other one of the first toy and the second toy reacts and moves.
A method for assembling a modular pet structure assembly comprising:
- snapping a vertical module into a connection joint located on a base module;
- said vertical module comprising a bi-directional movement mechanism having two ends including a first end and a second end;
- attaching a first toy at the first end and a second toy at the second end;
- pulling on the first toy and causing the second toy to move in response to movement of the first toy.
