US 6,805,460 B1 · Advanced dog collar flashlight

Abstract

A dog collar flashlight for providing illuminating light sufficient to perceive and visually detect items on the ground and adjacent the animal to which the dog collar flashlight is attached. A dog collar flashlight has an illuminating light that goes far beyond the providing of mere visibility but allows the visual detection of objects illuminated by the light such as cracks in the sidewalk, obstacles in the path of the dog wearing the dog collar flashlight, and the activation of reflective material by the illuminating light. The light is controlled by a selectable switch and is housed along with the switch in a casing that allows a collar to engage in the dog collar flashlight. Collar-engaging loop portions attached to the dog collar flashlight case allows a collar to engage the dog collar flashlight and fix the dog collar flashlight to the dog or other animal.
