PANORAMIC PET VIEW
Patent Number: US 9072275 Grant Date: 2015-07-07 Filing Date: 2013-04-02
Overview
This patent describes a purpose-built enclosure that extends through a wall or fence to give animals a 180-degree field of view while keeping them safely contained. Filed in April 2013 and granted in July 2015, the prosecution demonstrates focused claim drafting to capture the device’s unique geometric and material features while maintaining broad applicability across animal sizes and mounting contexts. Inventors based in Canyon, TX and the applicant based in Canyon, TX tailored the design to balance visibility, audibility, and structural integrity. The specification supports a welded-steel embodiment with a reticulate front and tapered trapezoidal cross-section that narrows toward the front edge, enabling panoramic sightlines and acoustic access without allowing an animal to pass through.
The patent’s scope is technically grounded yet practically minded: the claims pair specific structural elements (imperforate top and bottom surfaces, reticulate sides, and a back edge parallel to the front) with functional limits on containment. This combination protects the inventive concept across variations for different animals, from household pets to larger livestock.
Key Features
- 180-degree panoramic viewing enclosure with reticulate cage surfaces
- Trapezoidal cross-section and welded construction for strength and fit
- Imperforate top and bottom to control access and mounting
- Scalable dimensions for animals ranging from dogs to horses
By securing robust, well-supported claims for this enclosure concept, the patent enhances commercial opportunities in pet and agricultural fencing products and informs future enclosure and animal-visibility innovations.
Invention Details
Abstract: The Panoramic Pet View is a new approach to allowing pets to look through a wall or a fence. It provides a 180 degree view for the pet, and the pet can turn its head inside of the Panoramic Pet View. The design of this device allows the pet to hear sound as well as seeing in all directions including up and down.
