DEFINITION

Classification: 119/762

Neck-encircling support having connected sections relatively pivotable upon fence engagement by rigid extension (e.g., jointed bow, etc.):

(under subclass 760) Subject matter wherein the neck-encircling support includes a plurality of joined portions (i.e., sections) that are constructed to hinge or bend with respect to one another when the extension engages a fence during an attempted breach.

(1) Note. Hinging or bending may be employed to, for example, activate a breach discouraging element such as a pricker, spur, nostril pull, etc.; or to reduce the cross-sectional area of the neck-encircling support to apply a choking pressure to the animal.
