The title of this invention is Collar apparatus enabling secure handling of a snake by tether.
This invention is essentially a dog leash, except for a
snake. The collar has an adjustable elongated section that mostly wraps the
neck and body area of the snake.
The claims consist of how this collar with multiple
components secures the snake. The claim also includes a concertina
movement-neutralization device for reducing concertina movement of a snake
through the collar apparatus and a system for enabling collaring to allow
walking of a snake.
Quite a few patents are cited and referenced in this one
such as pet collar, animal leash, and sports glove.
This is a super silly patent! Snakes aren't walked often enough for there to really be a need for this but it is comical that they would patent such a device
ReplyDeleteWow this is such a silly patent! Thanks for sharing :) I had no idea that such a thing could even exist. I like how you talked about the claims briefly. It was clear and concise. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHi Raghav,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a silly/funny patent! It is interesting to see that there is a use for a collar to walk a snake, I would have never imagined such a thing existed. Great summary of the claims and the invention. Keep up the great work!
