Inventors:

Joseph A. Marino - Lebanon NJ, US

International Classification:

A23L 1/137

US Classification:

Abstract:

A novel dog chew is disclosed made of raw hide which has a large plurality of closely spaced perforations cut there through during manufacture of the dog chew. Typically the perforations are created in first rows that are generally parallel to each other and in second rows that are also generally parallel to each other, and the first rows intersect the second rows to create a cross hatching pattern. The intersecting sets of perforations created by the cross hatch pattern define a large number of small sections on the rawhide. The small sections of the dog chew individually break off when chewed by a dog instead of large pieces that may choke the dog.

Abstract:

The present invention involves a toy vehicle which includes a body, at least three wheels, wheel support means and a suspension system. The wheel support means connects the body and the wheels in conjunction with the suspension system such that the body may be raised or lowered merely by pulling or pushing on the wheels away from or toward the underside of the body. The suspension system utilizes hollow plastic tubes which include a flexible zone with a plurality of circumferential corrugations which enable the tube to be stretched to sequential lengths until the corrugations assume a longitudinally spaced position. The toy vehicle of the present invention may have as part of its suspension system a single tube as described, or a plurality of tubes, such as one for each of the two front wheels or one for the front wheels and one for the back wheels, or any other combination which may be functionally possible.
