Definitions

  • This invention pertains generally to the field of animal husbandry, and more particularly to protective dog boots.
  • Dogs have long been known as "man's best friend”. Not only do dogs provide companionship, they are also intelligent and readily taught to carry out many tasks that are complementary to those of other public servants. As a result, they can provide great benefit, often times in situations where humans would not be capable. These animals serve very diverse functions, providing companionship, guarding, towing, hunting, rescue, and even sensory conversion, such as a seeing eye-dog or a hearing-assist dog. They may be pets, or may be put in service by individuals or organizations such as search and rescue teams, police, or military organizations.
  • the dog's pads may be inadequate for traversing the ground when temperatures are particularly severe, such as in colder climates or with dogs that are not adapted to the cold, or conversely in extremely hot climates where the ground surface may be scorching. It is known that during testing on hot surfaces, a drug dog's performance drops due to the hot surface distraction. Racing and sled dogs may be exposed to a particularly harsh course or environment, and so may also need special protection. Boots can be used to prevent snow from getting up between the pads of the foot, freezing, abrading the soft tissue, and thereby producing a lame dog.
  • prior art boots tend to suffer from several common limitations. As may be recognized, prior art dog boots are often very difficult to put on the dog's foot. This problem will be intensified by the fact that most dogs will not remain still while a person is trying to put the boot on. Once on, these prior art boots do not stay on well. Many will simply spin about, potentially causing much discomfort or harm to the dog. Others will slide off as the dog walks or runs. This phenomenon is quite significant, since the boot must be designed to be of non-slip material, or the dog will sprawl on finished wood, ceramic tile, icy or other relatively slippery surfaces. Yet, the boot must also preferentially stay on the dog's paw, rather than slide with respect thereto, even when the booted dog is traversing terrain having good traction.
  • a dog walks "tip-toe" compared to a human.
  • the dog foot is of much more consistent diameter, and does not have a bulge such as found in the human calcaneus bone. Consequently, the shape of a dog foot causes prior art boots to be readily slipped off by the dog during ordinary movement, and human boots have no cooperative anatomy similar to the human calcaneus or heel bone in the dog foot with which to engage.
  • the dog leg does not suddenly expand into a much larger paw, but instead remains very close in size and diameter.
  • the exact dimensions of dog legs and paws vary among different dog breeds, but it is important to recognize that many breeds have very little change in diameter along the length of the dog foot, and so the calcaneus human bone is not available on the "tip-toe" dog leg.
  • U.S. patent 6,470,832 by Peacock entitled “Animal boots,” the teachings and contents which are also incorporated herein by reference, describes forming a foot piece from lightweight metal or other puncture proof material such as hard plastic.
  • Peacock proposes a middle section formed from metal mesh or chain mail material, and also proposes that Teflon (PTFE) or Kevlar (Poly-para-phenylene terephthalamide) mesh may also provide enough durability to work.
  • PTFE Teflon
  • Kevlar Poly-para-phenylene terephthalamide
  • the body be made from a metal or metalized fabric or similarly puncture resistant material such as Kevlar (Poly-para- phenylene terephthalamide) mesh or nylon mesh. While Peacock acknowledges a similar need, the boot proposed therein is functionally incapable of addressing the diverse needs to which the present invention is directed.
  • the invention is a protective dog boot.
  • a first lamination has a substrate and at least one cut-resistant layer.
  • a second lamination has a substrate, a friction pad, and a plurality of puncture and cut resistant layers. The first lamination and second lamination are coupled at a junction to form a tube having an open end and a closed end. At least one of the plurality of puncture and cut resistant layers extends fully across the first lamination and into the junction between first and second laminations and at least another one of the plurality of puncture and cut resistant layers is distinct and removed entirely from the junction.
  • the invention is a dog boot, suitable for insertion and removal of a dog's leg and paw and operatively providing protective covering about the dog paw.
  • An operatively protective covering has a closed end and an open end and defines a dog paw region operative to surround the dog' s paw, and defines a dog leg region operative to surround the dog' s leg.
  • the dog paw region is adjacent to the closed end and the dog leg region is adjacent to said open end.
  • a means adjacent a bottom surface of the dog paw region and dog leg region prevents punctures and cuts.
  • a means adjacent a top surface of the dog paw region and dog leg region prevents cuts. The means for preventing punctures and cuts is joined to the means for preventing cuts at a junction therebetween.
  • a means is provided adjacent the open end for allowing the open end to expand, thereby facilitating insertion of a dog paw therein.
  • a means is provided for contracting the dog leg region.
  • At least one interference-producing cushion is provided on an interior of the dog leg region, protruding interiorly from the operatively protective covering above and immediately adjacent to the dog paw region, and is operative to produce interference with the dog's paw and thereby resist the dog leg region sliding into contact with the dog's paw.
  • Exemplary embodiments of the present invention solve inadequacies of the prior art by providing a fabric substrate, preferably of durable material, onto which friction pads, wear pads, tensioning straps, and strategically located cushions are attached. Specially configured slits ensure that a wide range of leg sizes relative to paw sizes may be accommodated, while easing application of the boot and eliminating any risk of bunching during such application.
  • the present invention is further designed for use in any situation where broken glass, sharp rocks, or any other sharp objects might penetrate a dog's paw, either from above or below. Layers of KevlarTM or other puncture- and cut-resistant materials are incorporated between inner and outer layers of the boot.
  • a first object of the invention is to provide a dog boot which is readily placed about a dog's paw.
  • a second object of the invention is securement of the boot against slippage, spin or separation with respect to the dog's leg, while simultaneously substantially reducing the risk of circulatory disruption or harm to the dog. Another object of the present invention is to ensure that the boot will readily accommodate a wide range of proportions of paw size to leg diameter.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a boot which is substantially non-slip with respect to a surface the dog is traversing.
  • An additional object of the invention is the provision of protection from sharp objects which might otherwise cut or puncture a dog's paw.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a more readily produced boot which is not unnecessarily complex or expensive to produce, and yet which is durable.
  • An even further object of the invention is that the boot float for water usage. Another object of the invention is that the boot not unduly abrade the dog during use.
  • An additional object of the invention is to provide adequate ventilation to the dog boot, even when preferred materials would otherwise create a physiologically unsafe environment within the boot.

  • FIG. 13 illustrates an enlarged view of an alternative embodiment seam construction taken along line 11' of Figure 9, and including a vent tube therein.
  • boot 1 Manifested in the preferred embodiment boot 1 , the present invention fulfills the objectives set forth herein above and others.
  • boot 1 has the appearance of a flexible or somewhat flaccid tube, with a closed end 3 adjacent toe protective patch 22 and an open end
  • Boot 1 includes a bottom 10 having a non-slip ground-engaging surface 12.
  • boot 1 the rear or bottom of the boot is covered from closed end
  • ground-engaging surface 12 will most preferably be a material sold under the brand name "Toughtek,” available from Harrison Technologies, Inc. of Broadalbin, NY, USA, which is a durable material having good traction and pliability even at very low temperatures, and which is non-slip.
  • Ground-engaging surface 12 could be Cordura, other nylon or any material that would have a specific feature such as traction, durability, or waterproofing that the designer elects to incorporate in a boot.
  • the non-slip characteristic is most preferable, so as to enable a dog to comfortably stand on relatively slippery surfaces such as finished wood, ice or the like.
  • a second layer of material 11 may either extend from or be parallel to and continue beyond surface 12, or, when surface 12 is completely omitted, instead of surface 12.
  • Material 11 will most preferably be relatively soft, compliant, durable, strong, and resistant to the elements. Standard nylon, ballistic nylon, or Cordura is most preferred for this substrate, owing to the inherent durability, ready fabrication, and permeability to gasses, while still providing some water resistance.
  • material 11 extends from toe 17 to flare terminations 16, and is laminated with surface 12 by simple edge stitching.
  • a similar material will also be used in the fabrication of boot top 20, as material 21. With somewhat larger exposed surface area, the breathable nature of a woven or non- woven fabric will be very beneficial in many applications, though others may require a waterproof material.
  • a protective patch 22 will preferably be laminated with material 21. As shown in the preferred embodiment boot 1, protective patch 22 serves as a toe patch, which is particularly beneficial when a dog, for whatever reason, has a tendency to drag the toe. Protective patch 22 will help prevent serious damage to boot 1 as well as to the dog's foot.
  • This patch in the preferred embodiment is preferably a stronger, more abrasion resistant material, and so may be ToughtekTM, Cordura or ballistic nylon, or other relatively more abrasion resistant material. Waterproofing may also be applied, if desired.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates preferred embodiment boot 1 from a top view, showing the relationship of the various boot components.
  • top and front layer 21 may readily encompass bottom and back layer 11 adjacent the open end 2 of boot 1.
  • Cushioning pads 14, 24 will most preferably extend on an inside of the respective layers 11, 21, within a circumference of contraction created by straps 30, 40 when these straps are tightened about the leg of a dog. In practice, these pads 14, 24 prevent undesirable constriction of a dog' s leg, while at the same time forming a relatively high friction contact with the dog' s leg, to help to ensure that boot 1 does not slip off.
  • Cordura and ordinary nylons are generally relatively slippery, though these same materials are very durable and desirable for their intrinsic durability.
  • boot 1 will be dimensioned to cooperate with the intrinsic geometry of a dog paw.
  • most dog paws are slightly wider at the pad than they are in the leg region slightly above and immediately adjacent the pad. Consequently, with reasonable sizing and placement, cushion 14 will be placed on the leg adjacent the dog's pad, and strap 40 will secure cushion 14 in that position. Such placement ensures that the bulge at the dog's pad will produce interference with cushion 14, thereby preventing cushion 14 from sliding down into the dog's pad region.
  • cushioning pads 14, 24 may comprise one or more of a variety of foams and foam rubbers, though closed cell polyurethane and neoprene are preferred, for their combination of low cost, ready availability, water resistance, and high coefficient of friction with many surfaces and materials.
  • Figure 4 illustrates boot 1 laid out flat, from a bottom view, as it will typically be after manufacture but before being placed on a dog's leg. Straps 30 and 40 are extending from boot 1, rather than being in the operative, wrapped position shown in figures 1 and 2.
  • Figure 5 illustrates boot 1 showing only bottom 10, looking at the side of bottom 10 opposed to that shown in figure 4.
  • Figure 5 shows the relative size and placement of cushioning pad 14.
  • Figure 5 also illustrates the overall shape and geometry of bottom 10, which is that generally of a rectangle, but with two significant changes. First, adjacent closed end 3, the ninety degree corners that would be found in a standard rectangle have been chamfered, to yield a relatively rounded toe end 17. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the final amount of chamfer or other shaping will depend upon the paw print for which the boot 1 is intended.
  • a good universal shape is the gradual arc formed by extensive chamfer as shown in the present figures.
  • top and front 20 Opposite to toe end 17 there is a flare which begins at points 15 and narrows with increasing distance from toe end 17 and closed end 3 to the end points 16.
  • the top and front 20 has an opposite flare which widens with increasing distance from toe end 17 and closed end 3 to the end points 26, and also includes the chamfer adjacent closed end 3 which forms rounded toe end 27.
  • Cushion 24 will still most preferably be placed adjacent to straps 30, 40, but will, like pad 14, not extend the full width of the rectangular shape of top and front 20.
  • Boot 1 consists of both top and front 20 and bottom 10. In the preferred embodiment, these two components are assembled by stitching at a perimeter therebetween, though many other known manufacturing equivalents exist and are contemplated herein, including for exemplary purposes only and not limited thereto, thermal bonding, chemical bonding, and adhesive bonding. Rather than stitching the entire perimeter, which would fully close boot 1, stitching will stop at points 15, and not extend beyond towards points 16. This means that two opposed slits have been formed adjacent points 16, most preferably in the region over which straps 30, 40 travel. The slits thus formed provide overlap without bunching, and the fact that cushions 14, 24 do not form an entire circumference means that straps 30, 40 may be tightened about a wider range of dog legs without any fear of bunching than was possible in the prior art.
  • cushions 14, 24 will ensure good contact with a dog's leg.
  • the shapes illustrated in figures 4 - 7 also allow boot 1 to easily slip onto a dog's foot, as the opening is quite wide at the top of the boot when the slits are opened.
  • boot 1 has the ability to float in water, which is an advantage when a boot comes off the dog in water. Unfortunately, the effects of water, muck and the like may still exert forces that are greater than the boot can otherwise resist.
  • Hook and loop fasteners or a similar product are used to make up the fastening system comprised by straps 30, 40.
  • the top strap 30 is a simple hook and loop fastening system preferably placed near the top of boot 1.
  • the bottom strap 40 uses a plastic loop 43 to increase leverage and holding power. Strap 40 goes around the back of boot 1 , through loop 43, and reverses direction to come back to the front of boot 1. This allows a person to use leverage when tightening strap 40.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the hook portions 31 and 41 of straps 30, 40, and the loop portions 32, 42 which are designed to inter-engage and fasten together, though it will be understood that these arrangements of hooks and loops are not critical to performance.
  • Kevlar Ice Pick Underneath and fitted to the shape of base layer 21, but stopping below or adjacent to strap 40 and placed closer to the dog's foot as best visible in Figure 8, are two cut-preventing layers 57, 58 of Kevlar Ice Pick. These cut-preventing layers 57, 58 form a protection layer that is designed to protect the top of the boot from slash-type wounds. Kevlar Ice Pick material was designed for exemplary purpose for prison guards, and is said to protect against penetration from sharp devices such as razor blades or the like.
  • Kevlar Ice Pick known technically as Poly-para- phenylene terephthalamide, depending upon the specific requirements or needs for a specific application of the boots, for both layers 57, 58 and all other references herein to Kevlar. While Kevlar is most preferred, it is known that materials with less tensile strength or cut resistance may be substituted, but with the drawback of added thickness, weight, stiffness, or other undesirable factors.
  • An additional layer 29 fabricated fore exemplary purposes from urethane waterproofed nylon may be provided interior of cut-preventing layers 57, 58 to ensure that the dog's nails do not undesirably snag the Kevlar.
  • the urethane coating will preferably be on the most exterior surface of the nylon, and the nylon will preferably be a relatively high denier fabric that will allow the nails to slip without significant snagging or damage ensuing.
  • the bottom 10 needs the most protection because it is the area where the dog will be placing its weight while using boot 1. To provide sufficient protection, a total of ten layers of Kevlar have been provided as a Kevlar pad 50, visible in Figures 10 and 12.
  • the outer two layers 51 , 52 of Kevlar form a pocket.
  • these outer protective layers 51, 52 of Kevlar are the longest layers, and reach from toe 17 of bottom 10 to the top of surface 12.
  • a Kevlar pad 55 comprising eight layers of Kevlar is placed inside.
  • the two outermost layers 53, 54 additionally preferably extend higher on boot 1 than the remainder of pad 55.
  • the inner protective layers of Kevlar pad 55 are shortened even further, to additionally help reduce bunching.
  • outer protective layers 51, 52 help to transition between the thickness of Kevlar pad 55 to the thickness of only layers 51, 52 and 11, 12.
  • Kevlar pad 55 may be quilted or sewn together as a unit, such as along seam lines 64, 65 illustrated in Figure 12. Next, to prevent bunching, layers 51, 52 may be sewn thereto at seam line 63. Finally, the assembly of Kevlar 50 and surface 12 are sewn to layer 11 at seam 62, and through seam 61, described in greater detail next.
  • boot 1 bottom 10 and top 20 are sewn together.
  • This construction is best illustrated in Figure 11, wherein seam binding 60 is wrapped about the cut ends of layers 11, 12, 21, 29, 51, 52, 57 and 58, and then sewn at seam 61 to form a unitary structure.
  • sealant may additionally be used at the seam.
  • seam 61 and additional seams 62 - 65 are illustrated herein, alternative means of connection have been contemplated, including, but not limited to, adhesives, sealants, thermal, RF, and ultrasonic bonding, or other means known in the art of material bonding. Nevertheless, by including Kevlar layers 51, 52, 57 and 58 entirely to the seam, sharp objects are prevented from penetrating boot 1 at or adjacent to the seam.
  • boot 1 is provided with suitable waterproofing layers.
  • Back and front layers 11 and 21 might, for exemplary purposes, be provided with a urethane coating or other suitable means to prevent moisture penetration therethrough.
  • layer 29 may also be urethane coated.
  • Toughtek is used as outer layer 12 and toe guard 22, additional waterproofing is inherently provided thereby.
  • foam pads 14, 24 may, as a considered alternative embodiment, also incorporate tubes or air vents 23. These vents will most preferably allow air to flow out from and back into boot 1, most preferably forced to flow as a result of the dog's paws during its natural movement.
  • tubes 23 A variety of different arrangements for tubes 23 are considered herein, one which is illustrated in figure 2 showing tubes 23 passing through or integral with pad 24, but which could also pass through and integral with pad 14 as well or instead of through pad 24.
  • a second alternative is the passage of tubes 23 adjacent the edge of pads 14, 24. Either placement will preserve the ability to tighten straps 30, 40 without the tubes undesirably forming pressure points.
  • tubes 23 are formed from softer and more resilient material such as thin- walled vinyl or rubber, the tube may exhibit compressive characteristics very similar to that of the foam pads.
  • An alternative placement is illustrated in Figure 13, which shows tube 23 passing inside of seam binder 60.
  • the seams are relatively stiff compared to much of the rest of the boot, and since these seams pass from toe 17, 27 to the v-split adjacent to strap 40, the seams can serve a second function by carrying tube 23 therein without otherwise consequentially altering the feel or function of boot 1.
  • Tubes 23 may, if so desired, pass throughout the seam region and may be provided with perforations at suitable locations to permit air to flow in and out therefrom.
  • flapper valves may be provided if so desired to control the flow of air to force movement in a single direction. This has the benefit that air passing into tube 23 is not simply drawn back into boot 1 on a reversing flow cycle, and will instead be pushed always out of boot 1.
  • boot 1 In some cases, the natural volume changes within boot 1 will not be sufficient to satisfy a particular application. To address the needs of that application, it is further contemplated herein that the various boot layers themselves or additional layers may be provided that will serve as bellows. Again for exemplary purposes, if urethane coated layer 29 is provided with a one-way air valve to permit air to pass from the interior of boot 1 to a space between layer 29 and layer 21, the movement of layer 29 will act as a bellows.
  • the bottom of boot 1 such as illustrated in Figure 9 may be provided with a separate bellows such that the weight of the dog pressing down onto outer layer 12 will also compress the bellows and force air from within boot 1 to the exterior, and then the lifting of the paw will permit such bellows to expand by drawing air from within boot 1 into the bellows.
  • a separate bellows such that the weight of the dog pressing down onto outer layer 12 will also compress the bellows and force air from within boot 1 to the exterior, and then the lifting of the paw will permit such bellows to expand by drawing air from within boot 1 into the bellows.
  • these preferred embodiment boots have many uses, including keeping a dog's feet clean when outside, to protect hunting, police and search and rescue dog's feet from cuts, thorns, and burrs, and, when walking them, to protect dog's feet from chemicals and severe cold in the winter, and severe heat in the summer.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur des bottes pour chien qui sont fabriquées à l'aide d'un substrat respirant, de préférence de matériau durable tel qu'un nylon ou polyester lourd. Sur le substrat, divers tampons de frottement et d'usure, couches résistantes à la perforation et à la découpe, sangles de mise sous-tension et coussins situés de façon stratégique sont fixés. Une pluralité de couches de Kevlar forment une partie de la stratification de partie inférieure de botte. Les couches externes de Kevlar sont les plus longues et s'étendent de la couture d'orteil vers les coutures latérales et supérieures. Les couches protectrices internes de Kevlar sont raccourcies pour réduire le tassement. Des couches de Kevlar similaires sont prévues au niveau de la partie supérieure de la botte pour protéger contre des découpes et des entailles. En plus du Kevlar, des évents peuvent être prévus à travers le bord supérieur de la botte et fonctionnent avec le mouvement d'une patte du chien, permettant à l'air d'être aspiré à l’intérieur puis d'être expulsé par l'action de la patte du chien.
