Abstract

A dog grooming table barrier is an apparatus that physically and visually alerts a dog of the edges of the grooming table. The apparatus includes a plurality of wall segments, at least one first clamp, and at least one second clamp. The plurality of wall segments surrounds the edges of the grooming table. The at least one first clamp and the at least one second clamp attaches the plurality of wall segments to the dog grooming table. The plurality of wall segments comprises a first end segment and a second end segment which surround the distal edges of the plurality of wall segments. The plurality of wall segments is arranged into a closed-shape configuration. A plurality of interlocking fasteners connects each of the plurality of wall segments to each other. The apparatus further includes a cantilever-receiving channel in order to accommodate the grooming arm of the grooming table.

Claims (54)

1. A dog grooming table barrier comprises:

a plurality of wall segments;

at least one first clamp;

at least one second clamp;

the plurality of wall segments comprises a first end segment and a second end segment;

the at least one first clamp and the at least one second clamp each comprises a proximal jaw and a distal jaw;

the plurality of wall segments being arranged into a closed-shape configuration;

the plurality of wall segments being terminally and detachably attached to each other;

the first segment and the second segment being positioned opposite to each other about the closed-shape configuration; and

the proximal jaw of the at least one first clamp being engaged to the first end segment; and

the proximal jaw of the at least one second clamp being engaged to the second end segment.

2. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

the plurality of wall segments further comprises a first lengthwise segment, a second lengthwise segment, a first widthwise segment, and a second widthwise segment;

the first lengthwise segment and the second lengthwise segment being positioned parallel and offset from each other; and

the first widthwise segment and the second widthwise segment being positioned parallel and offset from each other.

3. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first end segment is the first widthwise segment, and wherein the second end segment is the second widthwise wall.

4. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first end segment is the first lengthwise segment, and wherein the second end segment is the second lengthwise segment.

5. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

a plurality of interlocking fasteners; and

an arbitrary segment being detachably attached to an adjacent segment by a corresponding fastener from the plurality of interlocking fasteners, wherein the arbitrary segment and the adjacent segment is any pair from the plurality of wall segments.

6. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 5 comprises:

each of plurality of interlocking fasteners comprises a slot and a tab;

the tab being terminally connected to the arbitrary segment;

the slot terminally traversing into the adjacent segment; and

the slot being engaged by the tab.

7. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

a cantilever-receiving channel; and

the cantilever-receiving channel traversing into the closed-shape configuration for the plurality of wall segments.

8. A dog grooming table barrier comprises:

a plurality of wall segments;

at least one first clamp;

at least one second clamp;

a plurality of interlocking fasteners;

a cantilever-receiving channel;

the plurality of wall segments comprises a first end segment and a second end segment;

the at least one first clamp and the at least one second clamp each comprises a proximal jaw and a distal jaw;

the plurality of wall segments being arranged into a closed-shape configuration;

the plurality of wall segments being terminally and detachably attached to each other;

the first segment and the second segment being positioned opposite to each other about the closed-shape configuration;

the proximal jaw of the at least one first clamp being engaged to the first end segment;

the proximal jaw of the at least one second clamp being engaged to the second end segment;

an arbitrary segment being detachably attached to an adjacent segment by a corresponding fastener from the plurality of interlocking fasteners, wherein the arbitrary segment and the adjacent segment is any pair from the plurality of wall segments; and

the cantilever-receiving channel traversing into the closed-shape configuration for the plurality of wall segments.

9. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 8 comprises:

the plurality of wall segments further comprises a first lengthwise segment, a second lengthwise segment, a first widthwise segment, and a second widthwise segment;

the first lengthwise segment and the second lengthwise segment being positioned parallel and offset from each other; and

the first widthwise segment and the second widthwise segment being positioned parallel and offset from each other.

10. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first end segment is the first widthwise segment, and wherein the second end segment is the second widthwise wall.

11. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first end segment is the first lengthwise segment, and wherein the second end segment is the second lengthwise segment.

12. The dog grooming table barrier as claimed in claim 8 comprises:

each of plurality of interlocking fasteners comprises a slot and a tab;

the tab being terminally connected to the arbitrary segment;

the slot terminally traversing into the adjacent segment; and

the slot being engaged by the tab.
