U.S. Patent Number: 3,771,192 Patented Nov. 13, 1973 to ANNE MARGARET ZALESKI
Colitz Catchphrase: “Spring cleaning time ?, Walk the dog time ?, Most people thought that you could not do both at the same time.“ |
|
ABSTRACT A toy dog closely resembling a real dog and having a hollow interior in which is mounted a vacuum cleaner having a suction hose which is retractable from the tail end of the dog. This enables vacuuming a dog after a hair cut and grooming without causing fear to the dog, inasmuch as the vacuum cleaner noise is greatly muffed by such enclosure. The vacuum cleaner is convertible to a blower and air issuing from the tail end can be heated so as to serve as a dryer. |
