Abstract

See full text

This system comprises a platform used as a restraint for animals and pets which design is based on an umbrella like motion to collapse and expand for easy use, transport and storage. The platform will connect to any readily available generic harness having a ventral strap, collar strap, and girth strap which by the design of these components provides a secure point of connection between the animal's or pet's front legs and the center of the platform. The platform is circular in form with a centered connection point that uses the animal's own weight and position to prevent free movement. The animal or pet can sit or stand but is limited in directional movement by the connection between the platform and the harness. The platform includes a plurality of umbrella ribs that are installed on a portion of the main hub and are capable of being folded, a plurality of support ribs respectively supporting the platform ribs, a inner locking hub to which an end of each of the support ribs is hingedly coupled and which uncouples from the main hub to fold or unfold the platform.
