1. A pet toy comprising:
- a housing having an opening;
a cover connected to the housing, the cover movable between an open position and a closed position wherein the cover substantially closes the opening;
a light source received within the housing and capable of producing a beam of light directed toward the opening;
a motor received within the housing and capable of providing a motion to the light source;
a power source within the housing for powering the light source and the electric motor; and
a switch located on one of the cover and the housing, the switch having an on position allowing the power source to power the light source and the motor and an off position preventing the power source from powering the light source and the motor, the switch generally biased toward the on position but maintained in the off position when the cover is in the closed position.

Abstract
A pet toy that projects a moving light beam in various directions to entertain a pet is provided. The pet toy includes a housing having an opening. A cover is connected to the housing. The cover is movable between an open position and a closed position wherein the cover substantially closes the opening. A light source is received within the housing and capable of producing a beam of light directed toward the opening. A motor is received within the housing and capable of providing a motion to the light source. A power source is within the housing for powering the light source and the electric motor. A switch is located on one of the cover and the housing. The switch has an on position allowing the power source to power the light source and the motor. The switch has an off position preventing the power source from powering the light source and the motor. The switch is generally biased toward the on position but is maintained in the off position when the cover is in the closed position.

17. A pet toy comprising:
-
a body;
a light source for producing a light beam, the light source contained within the body;
a reflective material connected to the body, the light beam directed at the reflective material and the reflective material oriented to redirect the light beam;
a motor positioned within the body provides a motion to the light source thereby moving the light beam relative to the reflective portion; and
a switch connected to the light source and togglable between an on position whereby the switch permits the light source to receive power and an off position whereby the switch prevents the light source from receiving power. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
