DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an animal traction device used for traction and mooring of domestic dogs and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various ideas for taking a walk of a domestic dog or the like at night have been realized in consideration of the safety of a tower (owner) and the domestic dog.

[0003] From the viewpoint of ensuring the safety of the indexer, a flashlight is built in the handle portion of the towing device to improve the visibility of oneself and others by illuminating a person's feet.

[0004] In addition, from the viewpoint of ensuring the safety of a domestic dog or the like, an arrangement has been realized in which a collar is provided with a luminous body or the like and blinks at night to improve the visibility from others.

[0005]

However, in each of the above-mentioned conventional configurations, the visibility of the towing person and the domestic dog from others can be improved, but the lead (generally, a cloth or the like) connecting the towing person and the domestic dog can be improved. (Made of metal), it is not possible to improve the visibility, so when traveling in an unlit area during a night walk, the lead cannot be seen especially on unlit bicycles and motorcycles, There was a need for ways to prevent this danger, as they could plunge into the lead between the and the towers. In order to solve this, it is conceivable to apply nocturnal paint to the reed, but in this case, the light amount is very weak because it does not emit light by itself, and the speed is coming out with the above-mentioned no light Bicycles and motorcycles may not be able to recognize them sufficiently.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, and it is an object of the present invention to improve the safety of animals such as towers and domestic dogs by improving the visibility of reeds.

By taking any of these methods, the LED, light guide, and hollow pipe emit light, and the lead can be confirmed even at night by visually recognizing the light.

[0012]

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 shows an appearance of a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a cross section thereof. FIG. 3 is an AA ′ cross section of the lead portion.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body having a shape that can be gripped by hand, in which a battery 2, a wire 11 (not shown) from the battery 2, and a control circuit 4 supplied with power via a switch 3 are fixed and housed. . The switch 3 is a push switch, and can be turned on and off via a switch rubber 5. Reference numeral 6 denotes a sarkan for connecting an animal's D-ring or the like. The sarkan 6 is fixed to the sarkan 6 by passing a metal wire 7 through its end 6a and caulking a wire clamp 8. Reference numeral 9 denotes a cylindrical die casting stopper integrally formed with the wire 7 at the other end of the wire 7, and is fixed to the main body 1 and has a U shape.
The wire 7 is fixed to the main body by inserting the wire 7 into the U-shaped groove of the U-shaped bracket 10 having the U-shaped groove.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a wire, which extends from the control circuit 4 to the vicinity of the sarkan 6 by connecting a plurality of LEDs 12 in parallel or in series. Reference numeral 13 denotes a hollow pipe, which is a transparent soft elastic body and includes the wire 7, the plurality of LEDs 12, and the wire 11, and is externally fixed to a rubber plug A14 fixed to the main body 1, and the sulkan 6 side is externally fixed to a rubber plug B15. Have been. The hollow pipe 13 is made of a transparent soft polyurethane or the like, and has a property of transmitting 90% or more of light and diffusing the rest. The wire 7 and a plurality of LEDs
The lead is formed by making the hollow 12 and the hollow pipe 13 long.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 16 denotes a strap,
If the main body 1 is grasped through the arm, the lead can be secured even when the main body 1 is separated from the hand even when there is a sudden pull.

Next, the operation will be described.
Is pressed, and the control circuit 4 supplied with power from the battery 2 operates, so that the plurality of LEDs 12 arranged on the lead portion blink and emit light. Since the emitted light goes out through the hollow pipe 13 which is a transparent soft elastic body, a plurality of portions of the lead blink, especially at night, so that the lead can be easily visually recognized. Needless to say, the same effect can be obtained even when the LED 12 is made to emit light continuously.

(Embodiment 2) Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the second embodiment. FIG. 5 is a BB ′ cross section of the lead portion. In the present embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a main body-side first fixed to the control circuit 4.
The LED is fitted to the outside of the sleeve 18 and the sleeve 18 is inserted into and fixed to the sleeve fixing portion 1a of the main body 1 so that the main body 1
Is disposed so as to face the end surface of the transparent soft light guide 19 fixed to the light guide 19. The light guide 19 is made of transparent soft polyurethane or the like, and has a property of transmitting 90% or more of light and diffusing the rest. In the present embodiment, the cross section is circular. Reference numeral 20 denotes a wire rod coming out of the circuit, and a second LED disposed in a rubber plug B15 near the sarkan 6.
21 are connected. 13 is the wire 7 and the light guide 19
And a hollow pipe made of a transparent soft elastic body containing the wire rod 20 is externally fitted and fixed to a rubber plug A14 fixed to the main body 1 as in the first embodiment, and the sulkan 6 side is externally fitted and fixed to a rubber plug B15. ing. The wire 7 is
Externally fitted and fixed to a rubber plug A14 fixed to the main body 1,
The Sarkhan 6 side is externally fitted and fixed to a rubber plug B15. The lead is constituted by forming the wire 7, the light guide 19, the wire 20, and the hollow pipe 13 long.

Next, the operation will be described.
Is pressed and the control circuit 4 supplied with power from the battery 2 operates, the first LED 17 disposed on the main body 1 side and the second LED 21 disposed on the sulkan side blink and emit light.

The emitted light enters from both ends of the light guide 19 and passes through the inside of the light guide 19, while the light is partially diffused, so that the entire light guide 19 shines. Since this light exits through the hollow pipe 13 which is a transparent soft elastic body, the entire lead appears to blink, especially at night, so that the lead can be easily recognized.

According to the second embodiment, the first LED 17 in the main body, the second LED 21 on the sarkan side, and the two LEDs
Although the ED is used, even if the second LED is omitted, if the light amount of the first LED is increased, an effect of illuminating the entire lead can be obtained in substantially the same manner. Further, since there is no wire 20 in the hollow pipe 13, there is also an advantage that the wire does not break even if the animal bites the lead. Therefore, any configuration may be selected as needed.

Furthermore, the hollow pipe itself formed of a transparent soft elastic body can be made to emit light similarly to the light guide 19 by putting the light emitted from the LED 17 into the end face of the hollow pipe. Needless to say, the same effect can be obtained even when the LED is continuously lit.

[0023]

As described above, the first aspect of the present invention is as follows.
According to the embodiment, when the switch is turned on during a night stroll, a plurality of portions of the reed blink, so that the reed portion can be visually recognized by another person, and the safety of the tug and the pet dog can be maintained. Further, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, when the switch is turned on during a walk in the night, the entire lead flashes, and the lead can be visually recognized by others. Can be kept.
