DESCRIPTION

Retention system for transporting dogs in vehicles safely.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a retention system for the transport of dogs in vehicles in a safe manner, which has been designed to obtain a high level of safety in the transport of dogs in vehicles, both for the transported animal and for passengers.

The retention system is designed to provide easy placement in the rear seats, along with secure anchors to the vehicle, providing a total retention of the animal, along with its decrease in the possibility of serious injury to the animal and other occupants of the vehicle.

Background of the invention

There are multiple accessories and retention systems for dogs in vehicles, starting with collars, harnesses, separation networks, separation bars and finally the carriers, all of them with a common feature, serve to avoid fines, but do not have as their primary objective safety. This retention system will be framed in the place of the carriers.

Both nationally and internationally, they have the peculiarity that their placement in the rear seats of the vehicle is not recommended, because in case of impact, the structures of the carriers are not able to support the mass of the dog they carry in their interior, since this is multiplied up to more than 30 times according to the deceleration suffered in the impact.

Only one international brand is known that can withstand these slowdowns in the back seat, but it presents the drawbacks of its greater transmission of energy to the pet due to its greater rigidity, with the consequent risk of serious injuries, in addition, its placement is slower and more difficult, for not using specific anchoring systems for the vehicle.

Description of the invention

The retention system for transporting dogs in vehicles safely, presents a new structure based on the interlacing of tapes with a width not less than 3 cm (to reduce the pressure on the pet's body), forming a square mesh which acts as a safety net for anti-warming, resisting the enormous G forces to which the bodies of animals are subjected to high-energy impacts, whether against another car, a tree, wall, etc. being a non-elastic mesh, to reduce the rebound effect.

The mesh completely surrounds a light and deformable interior structure, constructed with tubular pieces of plastic material, which has the only function of maintaining the shape to provide space for the pet, as a "tent". It cannot be a rigid structure, since this could cause injuries to the dog.

This restraint system has a side opening for pet access, also, so that this system can be effective, it has 4 anchor points to the natural restraint systems of the vehicle, safety belts in various parts of

its mechanism Firmly anchoring to the male and female devices of the rear seat belts. This ensures a total retention of transports, since the anchors of the vehicle belts are oversized to support the weight of a person in a large deceleration, and this retention system presented, uses two of these belts, so the set resistance is assured.

Description of a form of realization

Retention system for transporting dogs in vehicles safely.

1. Due to the resistance of the materials used together with the design, together with fast and effective anchors, an innovation is created in the safety of dog transport, being currently the only one in the world that could be placed in the rear seats providing to the transported dog, a combination of ejection resistance and a decrease in kinetic energy and pressures transmitted to the pet's body.

2. The way of acting is similar to a seatbelt, with the addition that being formed by a mesh of tapes, the pressure exerted on the body decreases by a value greater than the body of a person with the safety belt with three anchor points. Likewise, being formed inside by a deformable structure, this would facilitate the absorption of part of the kinetic energy generated in the impact.

3. This innovation in dog carriers, being able to be placed in the rear seats, is an improvement in the transport conditions of pets, since prior to this invention, there is no possibility of safe transport in this place, being advised against by various organizations that are experts in the field (Center for pet safety, RACE etc.) In addition, the way of securing this system, provides the dog with support for the whole range of possibilities of accidents (frontal, overturning, side impacts, etc.). )

Claims (1)

1. Retention system for the transport of dogs in vehicles in a safe way, characterized in that it is formed by a deformable structure which is composed of tubes of plastic material with low resistance to breakage, joined with elbows and "T" of union. 5 2. Retention system for transporting dogs in vehicles safely, characterized in accordance with claim 1 because it is formed by a retention mesh composed of nylon bands or similar material, with a width not less than 3 cm, with a minimum breaking strength of 300 kg. tapes with others, the set forms a mesh capable of withstanding load values greater than 1200 Kg. 10 3. Retention system for transporting dogs in vehicles safely, according to previous claims characterized by having anchors to the vehicle, which are the same as those used in seatbelt systems, so that they are compatible with all vehicles. The anchors are composed of two male anchors, arranged in the lower part of the transports to attach it to the female anchors of the 15 rear seats of the vehicle (where the belt is connected by clicking) and two female anchors that are placed at the ends of the transports, so that they are directly anchored to the rear side seat belts (to the male part located in the belt).
