Abstract
A piezoelectric dog trainer is a small enclosed shell containing a piezoelectric element with a push button attached to a slidable loop. The opposite end of the loop extending outside of the shell is attached to a dog's collar where two electrodes leading from the piezoelectric element are attached. On the back end of the trainer there is attached a leash. When the dog pulls on the leash or the leash is tightened, a shock is generated on the dog's neck.
Claims12
A piezoelectric dog trainer comprising a
- hollow elongated shell having two opposing parallel grooves in the interior of its side walls, said grooves exiting through and terminating at the side walls adjacent to its front portion of the shell and leash attachment means disposed at back portion thereof;
- a piezoelectric element having a movable impact means at the back end thereof and two electric contacts at the front end thereof, said element being disposed within said hollow shell;
- said electric contacts being wired to a pair of electrodes;
- and
- loop means having a back end, a front end and a pair of parallel mid-portions, said mid-portion being slidably fitted into said grooves for free movement in and out of said shell;
- said impact means being fastened to the back end of the loop means for pushing said impact means forward thereby causing the piezoelectric element to generate a voltage difference between the electrodes.
