DEVICE FOR THE PREVENTION OF ASSOCIAL BEHAVIORS IN ANIMALS. SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE
The present invention consists of a device for the prevention of asocial behaviors in animals, particularly designed for dogs, although not exclusively. STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
Currently, the number of pets in the company increases annually. The current regulatory framework is adapting to this new scenario, so that it is allowing and regulating the access of companion animals to areas and enclosures in which until recently their presence was prohibited.
Thus, there are several situations in which an owner has the need or obligation to use a muzzle with his dog or pet:
For nervousness of the animal, when attending health care, to ensure that it does not bite the veterinarian or by the safety methods adopted by the veterinarian.
As a safety mode in dog grooming also to avoid the possible alteration of behavior.
To take care of the animal at home, such as illness cures, grooming, etc. Using this type of device prevents any type of problem.
To avoid problems outside homes, public places, parks, etc.
By legal imposition, as there are rules and laws that require the use of muzzles in certain public areas, which are increasingly wide, and in certain situations.
Training. Sometimes dogs have inappropriate behaviors, either because of an alteration or because they have not been educated in that situation or behavior. Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to use a support system that helps educate or re-educate the pet.
Aggression: if the animal shows a stage of behavior alteration, it is advisable to use some system that prevents any type of risk.
The state of the art is composed of a variety of mechanisms to prevent bites, commonly called muzzles, although the systems on which they are based correspond to a small group of inventions and do not give solution to other problems associated with said product.
Two are the first patented models under the name of "dog muzzle"; one created in the early twentieth century. H., «DOG-MUZZLE». DUSENBURY, NEW YORK, N. Y. Patent 872,279, 26 Nov 1907quot ;, and another model created by Joan Veres in 1923 quot; J. YOU SEE, «DOG MUZZLE». Pennsylvania Patent quot; 632.940, Nov 13, 1923quot ;. This type of muzzles, with complete and rigid structure have the peculiarity that it is necessary to have several sizes to cover all the dimensions of the head and maxillofacial complexion of the animal. Another great inconvenience of this type of devices is the discomfort of the same for the animal, since during the period of time that he is wearing it he cannot eat or drink, in addition to the fact that due to the dimensions of these muzzles he cannot perform other types of movements natural.
Trying to minimize the aforementioned inconvenience the muzzle patented in 2002 J. Perrello, «Museliere, notamment pour chien». France Patent EP174024A2, 23 Jan 2002 ", offers a solution to the comfort of the animal, thus allowing the adjustment of the muzzle so that, at times where it is not necessary, it can be loosened giving freedom to the animal to wear it without any type of Limitation on their activities. In this line there is also the patent ES 1056676 U.
At the same time, devices mainly oriented to training appear. An example of this is the patent filed in Minneapolis under the name "Combination collar and muzzle humane training aid", patent 719. 697, 11 Nov 1986, or the patents quot; 621 .853, 13 Nov 1923quot ;, quot; US 2007 051324 A 1quot; "2006 158.256". These devices allow the human to have control over the animal to restrict certain actions and in turn give the animal some degree of freedom. However, it does not restrict the bite at all times, because without the help of the person's strength they do not prevent the bite. Along the same lines, WO 2005/067705 A 1 presents a belt system that has a similar operation to those listed above, incorporating as a variant a system to accommodate the snout tape when it is not used; However, this system needs a large belt size to be able to close the device and also have a conventional placement system.
Among the latest patented models is the 2007 model, "H.-c. Ma ', "FUNCTIONAL DOG MUZZLE STRAP STRUCTURE". United States Patent US 2007/0028856 A1, 08022007quot ;, similar to those we can see in the market. It is composed of a system of belts that work as a loop but its operation and placement are conventional.
Another line of development in muzzles is that presented in patents ES 1065649 U, ES 1051484 UY ES 1 045225 U in the sense of facilitating the muzzle release system, in most cases through a quick release pin which allows opening to the sides of the muzzle.
Despite the advances, from the first inventions to the most current, collected in the state of the art, muzzles or training devices are placed within the field of vision of the animal, its collaboration is necessary for its placement and a manual approach to the animal's snout is required for installation, which entails the risk of bites when the animal is nervous or refuses to collaborate.
To avoid this problem, solutions such as the patent filed in 2015 "W02015043435" appear. In this invention, although the conventional method of positioning the device is modified, the movement of the animal is limited in a very remarkable way and therefore the comfort of the device is reduced. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention consists of a device for the prevention of asocial behaviors of an animal, in particular dogs, although not exclusively, that is placed quickly and safely so that the person who places it can do so without the need to approach His hand to the animal's mouth. This device also facilitates a better integration of the dog in society, both for the security it provides to owners and other people, as well as for the degree of freedom granted to the animal.
The device consists of a collar, which is placed conventionally around the neck of the animal, into which the rest of the device's components are housed. This collar has an opening in all its extension to allow the exit of the rest of the components of the device that are deployed by pulling a tape that moves over the head of the animal, from the back to the front, which prevents any possible aggression, in addition to facilitate its placement.
The components that are extracted from the collar when pulling the aforementioned ribbon consist of an adjustable loop that acts as a muzzle attached to the collar by at least two adjustable straps, one at the top and one at the bottom, which allow the sliding of the laced and facilitate its placement around the animal's snout.

The device (fig. 1) consists of a collar (1), which is placed conventionally around the neck of the animal, into which the rest of the components of the device are housed in the resting position (fig. 2). It has an adjustable loop (2), which once the device is removed is automatically placed around the animal's snout. Two or more adjustable length tapes (3) are fixed at one end to the collar, at least at the top (3a) and bottom (3b) thereof, and at the other end to the loop (2), so that The loop can run between these tapes. These tapes include a series of adjustment buckles (8) that facilitate the muzzle to adapt to various head sizes (8a) and snout (8b).
The collar (1) is composed of materials that can be adapted to the physiognomy of the animal to increase comfort. The loop (2) is housed partly inside a sliding device (5) covered with a material that offers protection and comfort to the animal once adjusted, while incorporating an inner mechanism (4) that facilitates the movement of the tapes quickly and without friction.
To activate the muzzle, the device incorporates a tape (6) to pull the loop (2) forward manually. When not in operation, this tape is attached to the ordinary belt (9) that is used to direct the animal (fig. 2). This union can be done by velcro, square brackets, or any other type of joint that allows a quick separation.
To correctly deploy the device (fig. 4), the collar must be positioned so that the tape (6) protrudes from it by the back of the animal's head. When the collar is correctly placed, it is only necessary to pull the tape (6), making it pass over the animal's head towards the front, which causes them to leave the inside of the collar, through an existing slot in the same (fig. 3), the adjustable loop (2) and the travel limiting belts (3a and 3b).
The travel limiting bands limit the deployment of the device, and with the adjustment of the appropriate length, prevent the loop from exceeding the animal's snout (Fig. 4).
The device can adopt different configurations, which are mentioned in the following examples:
Example 1: Basic configuration.
In this configuration, the adjustment of the loop to the appropriate size of the animal's snout is produced thanks to the sliding mechanism (4), which causes that by continuing to pull the deployment strap of the device (6), the loop is collected through the housing of the loop (5), which allows the loop to slide inside to adjust the size of the loop to the snout of the animal (Figures 1, 4 and 5).
Example 2: Device with manual or automatic collection and adjustment element located in collar or strap.
In this option, the upper belt (3a) that joins the collar with the loop and the loop (2) are formed by a single belt that passes through the inside of a fabric housing (11), which allows it to slide through the inside of it.
Once the device has been deployed by means of the tape (6) and the loop (2) is placed in the appropriate position around the animal's snout, it is possible to automatically or manually activate a tape collection mechanism (7) located in the top of the collar, on the back of the animal's head or on its leash (figures. 6 and 7). The activation and placement of the muzzle from the back of the animal's head prevents any possible aggression, in addition to facilitating its correct placement.
The tape collection mechanism (7) collects the tape inside to adjust the muzzle to the animal's head, starting with the animal's dental area to prevent any type of aggression in case of danger of bite. The tape is wound on an element attached to the collar at its upper part (back of the animal's head) or on the restraint strap, whose housing of the tape pick-up mechanism has a suitable length to position the loop in position correct in the animal's snout.
Once the device is deployed, the tension that the user maintains in the device causes the loop closure system to be activated at the necessary speed so that the animal cannot move the head. Optionally, the closing system can be activated by means of a pick-up actuation button, which is carried out by means of the device specifically created for the adjustment of the muzzle (7).
Example 3: Basic configuration with rigid or semi-rigid rod
In this configuration (fig. 9), the deployment belt of the device (6) is replaced by a rigid or semi-rigid rod (10) attached to the animal's support strap (fig. 10), which causes it to move by the adjustable loop (2) and the travel restriction tapes (3) exit from the head of the animal. Once the rod that deploys the device is displaced, the loop is closed by firing a spring contained in the rod, until it adjusts to the appropriate dimension to the animal's muzzle and the rod is separated from the rest of the device already installed (Fig. 11 ).
Example 4: Basic configuration with short tape to integrate into the loop.
In this configuration (fig. 12), the system works by deploying from the inside of the collar (1), through a short tape (6) attached to the normal animal support strap (9), the device consisting of the adjustable loop (2) and the travel restriction tapes (3). Once the belt that deploys the device is moved forward (fig. 13), the loop (2) is closed when the movement of pulling the tape that deploys the device continues, until it adjusts to the appropriate size of the animal's muzzle.
Once the muzzle is placed, the end of the tape is rolled over the animal's muzzle, or removed from the muzzle (fig. 14).
