Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pet toy includes a first deformable member and a second deformable member. The first deformable member has a first receiving opening and a second receiving opening. The second deformable member has a first end that is received in the first receiving opening. The second deformable member has a second end that is received in the second receiving opening of the first deformable member. The second deformable member is more deformable than the first deformable member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A pet toy comprising: a first deformable member having a first receiving opening and a second receiving opening, and a second deformable member having a first end that is received in the first receiving opening, and a second end that is received in the second receiving opening of the first deformable member, the second deformable member being more deformable than the first deformable member, the second deformable member being movable with respect to the first deformable member between a tug position and a stowed position. 2. The pet toy according to claim 1 , wherein the first deformable member is made of rubber. 3. The pet toy according to claim 2 , wherein the second deformable member is a rope. 4. The pet toy according to claim 1 , wherein the first deformable member is an elongated member having a top side and a bottom side. 5. The pet toy according to claim 4 , wherein the first and second receiving openings are disposed adjacent to the top side of the first deformable member. 6. The pet toy according to claim 1 , wherein the first deformable member includes a continuous channel that connects the first and second receiving openings. 7. The pet toy according to claim 6 , wherein the continuous channel receives the second deformable member to store the second deformable member to the first deformable member. 8. The pet toy according to claim 7 , wherein the continuous channel receives the second deformable member by interference fit. 9. The pet toy according to claim 4 , wherein the first deformable member includes a continuous channel that connects the first and second receiving openings. 10. The pet toy according to claim 9 , wherein the continuous channel extends from the first receiving opening, the second receiving opening and the bottom side of the first deformable member. 11. The pet toy according to claim 9 , wherein the continuous channel has a helical configuration extending along the first deformable member. 12. The pet toy according to claim 9 , wherein the continuous channel has a depth that is approximately equivalent to a radius of the second deformable member so that the second deformable member is fitted to the continuous channel by interference fit. 13. The pet toy according to claim 9 , wherein the continuous channel has an arcuate cross-section. 14. The pet toy according to claim 1 , wherein the second deformable member forms a ring that is attached to the first deformable member when the second deformable member is in the tug position. 15. The pet toy according to claim 14 , wherein the second deformable member wraps around the first deformable member when the second deformable member is in the stowed position.
