Abstract
A dog toy is configured with a digestible squeaker bladder. The dog toy includes a dog toy body; and a squeaker bladder configured for insertion into the dog toy body to generate a squeak sound when compressed. The squeaker bladder has a bladder body and an airport with a reed element arranged at an opening in the bladder body that allows air into the bladder when the bladder body is relaxed and allows air to pass through the reed element and out the airport when compressed. The bladder body is formed from temperature-sensitive material that shrinks and/or collapses and/or breaks apart when subjected to a dog's body temperature if ingested in order that the shrunk and/or collapsed and/or broken-apart bladder will pass through and out the dog's digestive system.
Claims20
A squeaker bladder configured for insertion into animal toys to generate a squeak sound when compressed and/or relaxed after compression and configured to be frangible and pliable when contained within a digestive system of an animal that inadvertently consumes the squeaker bladder, or a portion of the squeaker bladder, the squeaker bladder comprising:
- a bladder body;
- an airport with a squeaker arranged at an opening in the bladder body that allows air into the bladder when the bladder body is relaxed after compression and allows air to pass through the squeaker and out the airport when compressed;
- wherein the bladder body is formed from temperature-sensitive material that becomes pliable and/or collapses when subjected to an animal's body temperature upon ingestion to facilitate passing through and out the animal's digestive system.
A dog toy configured with a digestible squeaker bladder, the dog toy comprising:
- a dog toy body;
- a squeaker bladder configured for insertion into the dog toy body to generate a squeak sound when compressed, the squeaker bladder comprising:
- a bladder body;
- and
- an airport with a sound-emitting element arranged at an opening in the bladder body that allows air into the bladder when the bladder body is relaxed and allows air to pass through the sound e-emitting element and out the airport when compressed;
- wherein the bladder body is formed from temperature-sensitive material that becomes pliable when subjected to a dog's body temperature if ingested so that the bladder body or parts of the bladder body will pass through and out the dog's digestive system.
