ANIMAL EXERCISE APPARATUS

摘要

An animal exercise apparatus (90) includes a projection device arranged to project an image to be chased, under control of a random controller (94). A handover device (96a) is arranged to hand over control of the projection device to a second handover device in a second apparatus, thereby creating the impression that the image is traversing a larger area of ground. A feeding mechanism for animals may include a scanner, microchip and means for regulation and provision of food. In an alternative embodiment the invention also includes an exercise device, which has a projector arranged to shine an image at random over a given area. A sensing means determines how effective an animal is at the device and a score calculated. Upon reaching a given score the animal is rewarded which a treat, which may be food.
