PET LASER TOY

摘要

The present inventive concepts relate to pet toys, in general, and specifically to pet toys constructed and adapted to provide a light source which directs a point of light on a distal surface to provide entertainment to an animal. A pet toy can include a housing suitable for attachment to mounting surface, such as ceiling or wall. The housing can further contain a laser light, a power supply, one or more motors and control circuitry. The motor(s) and control circuitry can be configured to move the light source to cause the point of light to move around on the distal surface. The control circuitry may be remotely operable via a remote control unit. The pet toy may selectively allow for either a constant or an intermittent display of the laser light, and may include a timing circuit to permit automatic deactivation of the light.

主权项

1. A pet toy configured to be mounted to a mounting surface, said pet toy comprising:
a housing comprising an attachment structure for attaching the pet toy to a mounting surface; a power supply receptacle arranged in the housing and configured to hold a portable power supply; a light source arranged on the housing and configured to project a point of light away from the housing onto a distal surface; and an electronic circuit arranged within the housing and configured to receive power from the portable power supply and to selectively supply power from the power supply to the light source to cause the light source to project the point of light, wherein the light source is moveably mounted to the housing such that it is capable of directing the point of light at various positions on the distal surface.
