US Patent 12121005 Omnidirectional doorbell switch for pets

A swipe-activated self-canceling omnidirectional contact switch mechanism that provides felines and canines of any size, height, mass, or intrinsic pawing capabilities, with the means to send an electronically generated signal to their respective caretakers by applying, from any external direction, a natural non-linear swiping action of an arcing forepaw to an electrified outer semi-rigid, flexible, and hollow electrical conductor which, by being forced to come into contact with an axially aligned electrified inner electrical conductor, closes a previously open statically energized electrical circuit of an interconnected ancillary alerting system which actions culminate with the broadcast of an audible and/or visual alert.
