Abstract

Abstract An animal prod, including a cane-shaped extruded, thermoplastic body element having channels formed longitudinally therethrough, a pair of thermoplastic clamp elements having their central portion formed about the cane and clamped thereto adjacent the hook end of the cane, and extending outwardly and terminating in perpendicular end sections overlapping one another, a generally rectangular container of thermoplastic material made up of two half sections passing over the cane and over the clamping elements and forming thereby a compartment on one side of the cane for a battery and a compartment on the opposite side of the cane for an induction coil, a switch mounted atop the container adjacent the hook end of the cane, electrical line means connecting the primary of the induction coil through the battery and the switch, electrical line means leading from the secondary of the induction coil downwardly through the channels formed in the cane element to the end opposite the hook portion and rigid probe elements extending from the end of the cane and connected to the second-mentioned electric line means to form a spark gap.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 176 words
An electrical animal prod comprising: an elongated, extruded, thermoplastic body member having a pair of channels formed longitudinally therethrough, and having one end thereof formed as a hook to thereby provide a cane-shaped body member, a thermoplastic container mounted about said body member and mounted thereon adjacent the hook end of said body member, a pair of contact elements mounted in said body member adjacent the end opposite said hook end and which form a spark gap, a battery means and an induction coil means mounted in said container on opposite sides thereof, the heavier of said battery and said coil being on the same side of said body member as said hook, a switch means mounted on said container exteriorly thereof and adjacent said hook end of said body member, and electrical line means operatively connecting said battery, said switch, said induction coil means, and said contact elements, including two lines connected to said contact elements and passing through separate ones of said channels formed in said body member to a point adjacent said container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 176 words
An electrical animal prod comprising: an elongated, extruded, thermoplastic body member having a pair of channels formed longitudinally therethrough, and having one end thereof formed as a hook to thereby provide a cane-shaped body member, a thermoplastic container mounted about said body member and mounted thereon adjacent the hook end of said body member, a pair of contact elements mounted in said body member adjacent the end opposite said hook end and which form a spark gap, a battery means and an induction coil means mounted in said container on opposite sides thereof, the heavier of said battery and said coil being on the same side of said body member as said hook, a switch means mounted on said container exteriorly thereof and adjacent said hook end of said body member, and electrical line means operatively connecting said battery, said switch, said induction coil means, and said contact elements, including two lines connected to said contact elements and passing through separate ones of said channels formed in said body member to a point adjacent said container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
A prod in accordance with claim 1 wherein the switch is a normally open spring-loaded switch.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
A prod in accordance with claim 1 wherein the switch is mounted on the top of the container adjacent the body member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
