BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a pet toy. The present invention further relates to a pet toy that is filled with foam latex and comprises a light emitting device.

2. Description of the Related Art

Modern people always suffer from pressure at the workplace or from the fast life paces. Most people may choose some leisure activities such as sports or keeping pets to release the pressure. Therefore, the industry related to pet keeping is popular at present.

The most common pets are dogs or cats. The keeper always likes to use a light emitting device to attract the attention of the pets. The light emitting device may be broken easily due to bites or scratches of dogs or cats. The broken light emitting device may hurt the skin of dogs or cats. Therefore, people need a safe light emitting device to play with the pets.

The safe light emitting device may be a soft device that is difficult to be broken by pets. Furthermore, pets can be attracted by the safe light emitting device as a pet toy for keepers to play with the pets.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An objective of the present invention is to provide a pet toy that may be filled with foam latex. Therefore, the pet toy may be a soft device. The pet toy is hard to be broken and enhances the safety for playing with the dogs and cats.

To achieve the foregoing objective, the pet toy filled with foam latex of the present invention comprises:

a latex outer shell comprising an opening;

a mounting cavity formed in the latex outer shell and the mounting cavity communicating with the opening;

a filled space formed between the latex outer shell and the mounting cavity, and the filled space filled with a filler;

a light emitting device mounted in the mounting cavity; and

a transparent cover covered on the opening.

The advantage of the present invention is utilizing the cavity to mount the light emitting device in the latex outer shell. In addition, the light emitting device can illuminate the outer space of the latex outer shell through the opening and the transparent cover. The sight of the pets can be attracted by light emitted from the light emitting device. The light emitted from the light emitting device enhances the pets' interest in the pet toy filled with foam latex of the present invention.

Preferably, the filler is a liquid foam. The filler is distributed evenly in the filled space. The advantage of the present invention is that utilizing the liquid foam can produce soft materials around the cavity to protect the light emitting device mounted in the cavity. This prevents the light emitting device from being broken by rolling or throwing of the pet toy filled with foam latex. It also protects the pets from damage done by the broken light emitting device.

Preferably, the light emitting device is a light emitting ball.

More preferably, the light emitting ball comprises an outer shell, a circuit board mounted in the outer shell, a vibration switch mounted on the circuit board, a power supply electrically connected to the vibration switch, and at least one lighting member mounted on the circuit board. The advantage of the present invention is utilizing the circuit board and the vibration switch to control the illumination of the at least one lighting member during rolling and collision. Furthermore, the power supply can provide electric power to the at least one lighting member for bright illumination.

Most preferably, the vibration switch comprises a conductive spring and a conductive sheet. The conductive spring selectively contacts the conductive sheet by vibration. The advantage of the present invention is utilizing the conductive spring to contact the conductive sheet by rolling of the pet toy filled with foam latex. When the conductive spring contacts the conductive sheet, the electric circuit is formed. Then the at least one lighting member on the circuit board can emit light.

And most preferably, the power supply is at least one battery. The at least one battery can provide electric power to the lighting member for bright illumination.

Preferably, there are four ribs formed on the outer surface of the latex outer shell. The advantage of the present invention is utilizing the ribs to help the dogs and cats to catch and bite the pet toy filled with foam latex.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2, a pet toy filled with foam latex10of the present invention comprises a latex outer shell11, a mounting cavity12, a filled space13, a light emitting device14and a transparent cover15.

The latex outer shell11comprises an opening111formed on a side of the latex outer shell11. The mounting cavity12is recessed in the latex outer shell11, and the mounting cavity12communicates with the opening111directly. The filled space13is formed between the latex outer shell11and the mounting cavity12. The filled space13is filled with a filler131. The filler131is liquid foam, and the filler131is distributed evenly in the filled space13. The light emitting device14is mounted in the mounting cavity12. The light emitting device14may be stuck and pressed in the mounting cavity12or may move in the mounting cavity12freely. The transparent cover15covers the opening111. The light emitting device14may be restricted in the mounting cavity12by the transparent cover15.

Furthermore, there are four ribs112protruding from the outer surface of the latex outer shell11. The ribs112allow the pets to catch and bite the pet toy filled with foam latex10of the present invention during the playing.

As shown inFIGS. 2 and 3, the light emitting device14is a light emitting ball. The light emitting ball comprises an outer shell141, a circuit board142, a vibration switch143, a power supply144, and two lighting members145.

The circuit board142is mounted in the center of the outer shell141. The vibration switch143is mounted on an upper side of the circuit board142. The vibration switch143comprises a conductive spring143A and a conductive sheet143B. An end of the conductive spring143A is mounted on the upper side of the circuit board142. The other end of the conductive spring143A is a free end. The conductive sheet143B is also mounted on the upper side of the circuit board142. The free end of the conductive spring143A selectively contacts the conductive sheet143B with vibration by the light emitting ball when the pet toy filled with foam latex10is rolling. The power supply144is electrically connected to the vibration switch143. The power supply144is a battery. The two lighting members145are each respectively mounted on the upper side of the circuit board142and the lower side of the circuit board142. When the pet toy filled with foam latex10is rolling with the vibration of the light emitting ball, the two lighting members145are lit up by the conductive spring143A contacting the conductive sheet143B and then penetrating through the transparent cover15. Therefore, the pet toy filled with foam latex10can be illuminated when a pet plays with the pet toy filled with foam latex10of the present invention. The pet can be attracted by the light from the pet toy filled with foam latex10of the present invention to increase interest of the pet. Keepers watching the pet playing the pet toy filled with foam latex10of the present invention will feel relaxed and the pressure will be released.

In summary, the pet toy filled with foam latex10of the present invention is not only attractive but also safe to the pets. The light emitting device14well withstands bites or scratches of pets and would not break into sharp scraps to hurt the pets. The pet toy filled with foam latex10of the present invention may provide a novel toy for the keepers to play with the pets and help the keepers to release their daily pressure.
