Abstract

A flipping pet toy is provided having a first bore and a second bore parallelly disposed to the first bore. A series of ribs interstitial spaces there between are concentrically disposed about a central axis of the bores. A thin and laterally elongated body member forms a resilient, thin walled body circumscribing the bores such that said thin wall is capable of generating a resilient, springing action.

Claims (36)

1. A pet chew toy comprising:

a thin and laterally elongated body member and forming a resilient, thin walled body circumscribing at least one orifice such that said thin wall is capable of generating a resilient, springing action;

a liquid flavoring impregnating said body member and dispenses through a plurality of apertures formed in said body member; and

a plurality of ribs extending outward from said thin wall.

2. The pet chew toy of claim 1 , further comprising impregnating said body member with an aroma.

3. The pet chew toy of claim 1 , wherein said toy is formed by extrusion molding.

4. The pet chew toy of claim 3 , wherein said toy is formed from thermoplastic.

5. The pet chew toy of claim 1 , further comprising:

said thin and laterally elongated body member forming a resilient, thin walled body circumscribing at least a second orifice such that said thin wall is capable of generating a resilient, springing action.

6. The pet chew toy of claim 5 , further comprising:

a plurality of ribs extending outward from said thin wall.

7. The pet chew toy of claim 6 , further comprising:

a plurality of interstitial recesses between said ribs extending inward to from said thin wall.

8. The pet chew toy of claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of interstitial recesses between said ribs extending, inward to said thin wall.

9. The pet chew toy of claim 8 , further comprising:

a plurality of interstitial recesses between said ribs extending inward to from said thin wall.

10. A flipping pet chew toy comprising:

a first annular sidewall circumscribing a first orifice, said first sidewall forming a resilient thin walled body circumscribing such that said thin wall is capable of generating a resilient, springing action; and

a second annular sidewall circumscribing a second orifice, said second sidewall forming a resilient thin walled body circumscribing such that said thin wall is capable of generating a resilient, springing action;

wherein said first annular sidewall is connected to said second annular sidewall.

11. The flipping pct chew toy of claim 10 , wherein a liquid flavoring impregnating said body member and dispenses through a plurality of apertures fobrmed in said body member.

12. The flipping pet chew toy of claim 10 , wherein said first annular sidewall is connected to said second annular sidewall in a generally symmetric fashion about a centerpoint.

13. The flipping pet chew toy of claim 10 , further comprising:
