Animal deterrent device for electrical charging system |
摘要 |
An animal deterrent device (ADD) includes a non-yielding base containing an array of animal deterring elements extending outwardly away therefrom. The base of the ADD is configured for deployment on at least one external surface of a transducer associated with a electrical charging system (ECS) used to electrically charge an energy storage device (ESD) on a vehicle. An array of animal deterring elements are respectively spaced apart a sufficient distance one-to-another and have respective heights so as to fill a space so that animals, such as a dog or a cat, are discouraged from residing on, or adjacent to at least one external surface of the transducer when the transducer that includes the ADD is disposed within a ground clearance of the vehicle. A method of using the ADD is also presented that includes a step of the ADD being formed in a mold in a single molding operation. |

1. An animal deterrent device (ADD) for use with an electrical charging system (ECS) for electrically charging an energy storage device (ESD), said ECS including a first transducer being disposed on a ground surface and a second transducer configured to receive energy from the first transducer, said ADD comprising:
a generally non-yielding base configured for deployment on at least one external surface of the first transducer, said base including an array of animal deterring elements extending outwardly away therefrom. |
