Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a guiding aid 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
The arrow X in the figure indicates the sliding lever 5 when the sliding pin 5c of the lock device 5 is slid toward the opposite end of the hook 5b.
The operation direction of d is shown. The guidance aid 1 is attached to the leg (front leg) 14 of the dog 10 to guide the walking of the animal, for example, the dog 10, and is used together with the lead cord 8.

As shown in FIG. 1, the guiding aid 1 mainly includes a pair of leg bands 2, 2 attached to the leg 14 of the dog 10, and the pair of leg bands 2, 2. The vehicle includes a buckle provided on each of the buckles 3 and 3, a frame 4 for holding the pair of leg bands 2 and 2, and a lock 5 connected to the frame 4.

The pair of leg bands 2 and 2 are formed by sewing a wide and thick band-like cloth material having flexibility, and have the same shape. Leg band 2
Is mainly composed of a substantially annular ring portion 2a and its ring portion 2a.
And a substantially strip-shaped extending portion 2b connected to one side (right side in FIG. 1) of the outer circumference of the outer peripheral portion, and a substantially continuous portion provided to an end (right side in FIG. 1) of the extending portion 2b on the side opposite to the ring 2a. A cylindrical portion 2c is provided, and these portions 2a to 2c are integrally formed.

The ring portion 2a has an end 2a1 to which the buckle 3 is attached, and an end 2a2 to be engaged with the end 2a1 by the buckle 3.

Further, the width of each of the slits 3 d and 3 e in the same direction as the width direction of the leg band 2 is equal to or greater than the width of the leg band 2.

The end 2a2 of the ring 2a of the leg band 2 is inserted into the slit 3d from the back side of the buckle 3, and inserted into the slit 3e from the front side of the buckle 3 over the shaft 3b. The buckle 3 is folded back to the opposite side (the left side in FIG. 1) at the shaft 3c from the back side to the end 2a1, and is inserted again into the slit 3d from the front side of the buckle 3. The end 2a2 inserted again into the slit 3d extends from the shaft 3a of the buckle 3 toward the buckle 3 by a length L1. Thus, the ring portion 2a has its end 2
The a1 and a2 are engaged with the buckle 3 to form a substantially annular shape in plan view.

The size of the inner diameter of the ring portion 2a of the leg band 2 is adjusted by changing the location where the buckle 3 is engaged with the end portion 2a2 that is folded back by the shaft portion 3c of the buckle 3. Can be. For example, when the position where the end 2a2 is engaged with the buckle 3 is moved to extend the length L1 from the shaft 3a of the buckle 3 to the tip of the end 2a2, the inner diameter of the ring 2a can be reduced. .
On the other hand, by moving the position where the end 2a2 is engaged by the buckle 3 to reduce the length L1 from the shaft 3a of the buckle 3 to the tip of the end 2a2, the inner diameter of the ring 2a can be enlarged. It is.

Therefore, by operating the buckle 3, the size of the inner diameter of the inner peripheral portion 2a3 of the ring portion 2a is adjusted according to the thickness of the leg portion 14 of the dog 10, and the ring portion 2a is adjusted by the adjustment. The thickness of the leg 14 can be matched. Also, for example, by lightly fastening the ring portion 2a of the leg band 2 to the leg portion 14 with the buckle 3,
It is possible to prevent the leg band 2 from slipping off from the leg 14.

The frame 4 is for holding the pair of leg bands 2 and 2 and is formed in a rectangular frame shape using a corrosion-resistant material such as stainless steel or resin.
The frame 4 formed in a rectangular frame shape has a pair of edges 4a and 4b facing each other, and one edge 4a
(Left side in FIG. 1) shows each tubular portion 2 of the pair of leg bands 2 and 2.
c and 2c are rotatably loosely inserted into the inner peripheral portions. By this loose insertion, the frame 4 connects the pair of leg bands 2 and 2,
It is held substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the edge 4a. A substantially cylindrical connecting portion 4c is provided on an edge 4b of the frame 4 facing the edge 4a, and the lock 5 is connected via the connecting portion 4c.

The locking device 5 is for connecting the guiding auxiliary device 1 to the lead cord device 8, and is formed of a corrosion-resistant material such as stainless steel or resin. The lock member 5 includes a substantially cylindrical base 5a connected to the frame 4. One end (left side in FIG. 1) of the base 5a of the lock member 5 is rotatably supported by the inner periphery of the connecting portion 4c of the frame 4 and a hook portion 5b is provided at the other end (right side in FIG. 1). ing.

A substantially cylindrical slide pin 5c protrudes from a position facing the distal end surface of the hook portion 5b toward the distal end surface of the hook portion 5b. The sliding pin 5c is urged toward the distal end surface (right side in FIG. 1) of the hook portion 5b by an elastic spring (not shown) housed inside the base portion 5a, and is provided on a sliding lever provided on the base portion 5a. 5d in the axial direction of the base 5a (arrow X in FIG. 1).
Or, by sliding in a direction opposite to the arrow X), the base 5a is configured to slide in the axial direction.

According to the lock member 5, when the sliding lever 5d is slid in the direction of the arrow X, the sliding pin 5c slides in the direction of the arrow X, and the distance between the opposing surfaces of the sliding pin 5c and the hook portion 5b is increased. A gap is provided in the hook portion 5b through the connecting ring 8 attached to the lead cord 8 in the gap. When the sliding lever 5d is released after the connecting ring 8b is hooked, the sliding pin 5c is urged in the direction indicated by the arrow X by an elastic spring, and the gap between the facing surface of the sliding pin 5c and the hook portion 5b is reduced. The connection ring 8b is narrowed and the hook 5
It can be prevented from falling off from b. When the connecting ring 8b is detached from the lock device 5, the reverse operation to the above-mentioned operation may be performed.

The guiding aid 1 configured as described above is
The hook portion 5b of the lock member 5 is connected to the connecting portion (first connecting portion) of the ring portion 2a and the extending portion 2b in the leg band 2.
The distance to the (second connecting portion) is a predetermined length L2, and the distance from the edge 4a of the frame 4 to the hook 5b of the lock 5 is a predetermined length L3 smaller than the length L2. (L2> L3). Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the length L2 is smaller than the length L4 which is the distance from the connecting ring 6a of the collar 6 to the hook 5b of the locking device 5 (or the connecting ring 8b of the lead cord 8). (L2 <L
4) As a result, the lengths L2 and L3 are both smaller than the length L4 (L2, L3 <L4). For this reason, when the lead cord 8 is pulled by the guide, the tensile force applied to the leg bands 2, 2 is made larger than the tensile force applied to the collar 6.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which the guiding aid 1 is attached to the dog 10, and a part of the string portion 8 a of the lead cord 8 is not shown. As shown in FIG. 2, the guide aid 1 includes a collar 6 attached to the neck 13 of the dog 10, a connecting device 7 for connecting the collar 6 and the guide aid 1,
Used with the lead cord 8. The collar 6 is attached to the neck (neck) 13 of the dog 10 and is formed in a substantially annular shape from a rigid material such as leather. A substantially D-shaped connecting ring 6 made of a metal material is provided around the collar 6.
a, and one end (upper side in FIG. 2) of the connecting device 7 is engaged with the connecting ring 6a.

The connecting device 7 is a device for connecting the guiding aid 1 and the lead cord 8 to the collar 6, and includes a pair of locking devices 7a and 7b and an expansion and contraction connecting the pair of locking devices 7a and 7b. And a member 7c. A pair of lock members 7
Reference numerals a and 7b denote the same type as the lock member 5 described above, and are respectively attached to both ends of the elastic member 7c. One of the pair of locking members 7 a and 7 b is engaged with the connecting ring 6 a of the collar 6, and the other is engaged with the connecting ring 8 b of the lead cord 8. Note that the pair of lock members 7a and 7b are of the same type as the lock member 5 described above, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The telescopic member 7c of the connecting device 7 is, for example,
An elastic spring member is provided, and is formed so as to be able to expand and contract in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, by expanding and contracting the elastic member 7c, the entire length of the connecting device 7 can be expanded and contracted. For example, the collar 6 and the guiding aid 1 are attached to a large dog, and the length from the connecting ring 6a of the collar 6 to the hook part 5b of the locking tool 5 of the guiding aid 1 (or the connecting ring 8b of the lead cord 8) is set. Even when the length L4 is longer than the entire length of the connecting device 7, the collar 6 and the guiding aid 1 can be connected by extending the entire length of the connecting device 7. That is, it is possible to prevent the connecting device 7 from becoming short.

The lead cord 8 is for transmitting the tensile force of the guide to the dog 10 in order to induce the dog 10 to walk, and is composed of a long string-like body such as a rope or a rope. A string portion 8a, an annular connecting ring 8b attached to one end of the string portion 8a, and a substantially annular grip portion 8c provided at the other end of the string portion 8a. The connection ring 8b is for connecting the lock 5 of the guide aid 1 to one end of the cord 8a, and the hook 5b of the lock 5 is engaged. On the other hand, the grip portion 8c is gripped by a guide that guides the dog 10 to walk. The inducer
By pulling the grip portion 8c, the pulling force is applied to the string 8a.
Through the connecting ring 8b, and a tensile force can be applied to the guiding aid 1.

The pulling force applied to the lead cord 8 by the guider is applied to the collar 6 via the connecting device 7, and is applied to the guide aid 1 via the lock device 5. Here, the ring portion 2a and the extending portion 2b of the leg band 2
The length L2 from the continuous portion to the hook portion 5b of the lock device 5 is from the connection ring 6a of the collar 6 to the hook portion 5b of the lock device 5 of the guide aid 1 (or the connection ring 8b of the lead cord device 8). (L2 <L4). Therefore, when the guide pulls the lead cord 8, the tensile force applied to the leg bands 2, 2 of the guide aid 1 is larger than the tensile force applied to the collar 6 via the connecting device 7. can do. Therefore, it is possible to easily apply the pulling force applied to the lead cord 8 by the guide to the leg 14 of the dog 10 via the guide aid 1.

Next, a method of mounting (attaching) the guidance aid 1 will be described. When the guide aid 1 is attached to the leg 14 of the dog 10, first, the inner diameters of the inner peripheral portions 2a3, 2a3 of the ring portions 2a, 2a are increased by operating the buckles 3, 3. One leg 14 is inserted into the inner peripheral portions 2a3 and 2a3. After the insertion of the legs 14, each leg band 2, 2 is attached to the base of the legs 14, that is, the body 12
Lift to the side. Here, one leg band 2 is a part on the body 12 side from the elbow joint 14c, that is, the upper arm part 14b
(Or under the liquid 14a), and the other leg band 2 is disposed on the part opposite to the torso 12 from the elbow joint 14c, that is, on the forearm 14d.

After the placement of each leg band 2, 2, the buckles 3, 3 of each leg band 2, 2 are operated again, and the ring portion 2
The inner diameters of the inner peripheral portions 2a3 and 2a3 of the a and 2a are reduced. Due to the contraction of the inner diameters of the inner peripheral portions 2a3 and 2a3, the ring portion 2a of one leg band 2 is moved to the upper arm portion 14b.
(Or under the liquid 14a), the ring portion 2a of the other leg band 2 is wrapped around the forearm portion 14d, and each leg band 2, 2 is attached to the leg portion 14, respectively.

The joints of the legs 14 of the dog 10 are slightly bent when the dog 10 is walking or standing. In particular, since the upper arm 14b and the forearm 14d connected by the elbow joint 14c are greatly bent compared to the joints such as the arm joint (carpal joint) 14e,
By attaching the leg bands 2 and 2 to the upper arm portion 14b and the forearm portion 14d, respectively,
Can be hardly detached from the legs 14. In addition, the pair of leg bands 2 and 2
4c, it is attached to the upper arm part 14b (or the lower part 14a) and the forearm part 14d, so that the movement of the elbow joint 14c is not hindered.

After each leg band 2, 2 is attached to the leg 14, the locking device 5 is connected to the connecting ring 8b of the lead cord 8, while the collar 6 is attached to the neck 13 of the dog 10. To wear.
After the attachment of the collar 6, one locking tool 7 a of the connecting device 7 is engaged with the connecting ring 6 a of the collar 6, and the other locking tool 7 b is engaged with the connecting ring 8 b of the lead cord 8.
As a result, the collar 6 is connected to the lead cord 8 via the connecting device 7.
And the lead cord 8 is connected to the guiding aid 1
It is connected with. Thus, for example, the guidance aid 1
Even if each of the leg bands 2, 2 is accidentally disengaged from the leg 14, the lead cord 8 is connected to the collar 6 via the connecting device 7.
, The dog 10 can be prevented from escaping. It should be noted that the neck 13 of the dog 10 has an outer diameter smaller than that of the head 11 of the dog 10, so that the collar 6 attached to the neck 13 in a state adapted to the outer diameter of the neck 13 is attached to the head 1.
It does not come off the neck 13 beyond 1.

Next, a method of using the guidance aid 1 will be described. First, the gripper 8c of the lead cord 8 is guided by the guide.
Is grasped, and the walking of the dog 10 is induced. In such a case, if the dog speeds up the walking speed and proceeds forward from the guide, or if the dog does not perform the walking operation as instructed by the guide, the guide pulls the grip portion 8c and removes the cord portion 8 of the lead cord device 8. Pull to the guide. Then, a pulling force is applied to the lead cord 8, and the pulling force is applied to the leg 14 of the dog 10 via the guide aid 1.

Specifically, when the lead cord 8 is pulled by the guide, the lead cord 8 is pulled through the frame 4 and the lock 5.
The upper arm 14b and the forearm 14d to which the leg bands 2 and 2 are attached are pulled, and the movement of the leg 14 is regulated, so that the dog 10 stops walking. Also, when the guide further pulls the lead cord 8, the upper arm 14b and the forearm 14d to which the leg bands 2 and 2 are attached are pulled up, and the toe of the leg 14 of the dog 10 is separated from the ground surface, The kicking of the ground contact surface by the legs 14 is restricted. An animal such as the dog 10, that is, an animal that walks on four legs (four legs) lifts at least one leg 14 in order to perform a walking operation by kicking the ground contact surface with all four legs, or If the movement of the leg 14 is restricted, the walking operation is stopped.

Moreover, by pulling the leg 14 to which the leg bands 2 and 2 of the guiding aid 1 are attached as described above, the operation of the leg 14 is restricted, and the dog 10 Can not be pulled back strongly. Therefore, for example, even if the dog 10 is a large dog with strong leg strength, the walking motion can be stopped with a small force, and the walking motion of the dog 10 can be stopped even with a woman or a child having weak muscular strength compared to a man. Can be stopped. Moreover, it is possible to induce the walking of the dog 10 without giving the dog 10 excessive pain, like a training collar for training a dog with a plurality of protrusions biting into the neck 13.

The one leg band 2 is attached to the upper arm 14b (or the lower part 14a) of the leg 14 of the dog 10, so that the other leg band 2 is attached to the forearm 14d. Is lifted via the frame 4 to prevent the other leg band 2 from slipping off the forearm portion 14d. Further, the leg bands 2 and 2 have not only the upper arm 14b but also a forearm 14d having a weaker muscle strength than the upper arm 14b.
Has also been attached. Therefore, the operation of the leg 14 can be restricted by raising the forearm 14d with a small force, as compared with the case where the operation of the leg 14 is restricted by pulling the upper arm 14b.

In this embodiment, the dog 10 has been described as an example of the animal to which the guidance aid 1 is used. However, the animal to which the guidance aid 1 is used is not necessarily limited to a dog. For example, the guidance aid 1 may be used for pets such as cats and other animals that walk on four legs (four legs) other than dogs. If the guide aid 1 is attached to one leg of an animal performing quadrupedal walking, the animal will be connected to another tripod even if one leg is pulled up from the guide aid. Therefore, the animal can be kept in a standing position, and the animal can be prevented from falling.

Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Hereinafter, the same portions as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. Only different portions will be described.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the guide aid 20 according to the second embodiment is attached to the dog 10,
The illustration of a part of the cord portion 8a is omitted. The guide aid 20 of the second embodiment is such that the lead cord 21 is connected to the guide aid 1 of the first embodiment by the frame 4 instead of using the lock tool 5. As shown in FIG. 3, in the guide aid 20, the lead cord 21 is engaged with the frame 4 that holds the pair of leg bands 2, 2.
In the lead cord 21, a lock 21 a is attached to one end (the lower side in FIG. 3) of the cord portion 8 a, and the lock 21 a is engaged with the frame 4 of the guide aid 20. As a result, the guidance aid 20 and the lead cord 21 are connected.

Unlike the guide aid 20 of the second embodiment, the lead string 21 is connected to the guide aid 20 without using a connecting device for connecting the guide aid 20 and the lead string 21 to the collar 6. Only these may be used in combination. The lock 21a is of the same type as the lock 5 described above, and a description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the external appearance of the guiding aid 30 of the third embodiment. The arrow X in the figure slides the sliding pin 5c of the lock 5 toward the distal end of the hook 5b. The operation direction of the sliding lever 5d in the case is shown. The guidance aid 30 of the third embodiment is different from the guidance aid 1 of the first embodiment in that one wide leg band is used without using a pair of leg bands.

As shown in FIG. 4, the leg band 31 is formed by sewing a wide and thick band-like cloth material having flexibility, and has a substantially annular ring portion 31a. The ring portion 31a includes an end 31a1 to which the buckle 32 is attached, and an end 31a2 engaged with the end 31a1 by the buckle 32.
1, 31a2 are joined by a buckle 32 to form a substantially annular shape.

The ring portion 31a has an inner peripheral portion 31a3 penetrating in the vertical direction.
The leg 11 of the dog 10 (see FIG. 2) can be inserted into a3. An extended portion 31b is integrally connected to one side (the right side in FIG. 4) of the outer periphery of the ring portion 31a, and an edge 4a of the frame 4 is attached to an end of the extended portion 31b on the side opposite to the ring portion 31a. Is a substantially cylindrical tubular portion 31c into which is rotatably loosely inserted.
Are connected.

The opposite side (left side in FIG. 4) of the extending portion 31b of the ring portion 31a and the ring portion 3
In the center of the width direction of FIG.
A crack 31e is formed from the outer periphery of a to the inner periphery 31a3. Therefore, when the leg band 31 is attached around the elbow joint 14c of the dog 10, the elbow joint 14c
Can be exposed from the crack 31e. It should be noted that the leg band 31 is naturally attached to the arm joint 14 of the dog 10.
When it is attached around e, the arm joint 14e is exposed from the split 31e.

The buckle 32 is a buckle 3 of the first embodiment.
The width of each slit 3d, 3e in the same direction as the width direction of the leg band 31 is the same as that of the leg band 3.
1 is equal to or greater than the width. Thus, the end 31a2 of the ring portion 31a can be inserted into each of the slits 3d and 3e of the buckle 32.

In the guide aid 30, when the leg band 31 is attached around the elbow joint 14c (see FIG. 2) of the dog 10, the ring part 31a is exposed while exposing the elbow joint 14c from the crack 31e. It can be worn around the upper arm 14b and the forearm 14d. Each joint of the leg 14 of the dog 10 is slightly bent when the dog 10 is walking or standing. In particular, since the upper arm 14b and the forearm 14d connected by the elbow joint 14c are greatly bent compared to the joints such as the arm joint (carpal joint) 14e, the ring 31a is connected to the upper arm 14b and the forearm. 14d, the leg band 31 is attached to the leg 1
4 can hardly be removed.

Moreover, since the leg band 31 is made of a flexible band-like cloth material, it can be bent and deformed. Therefore, the guide assisting device 30 can change the opening angle α of the crack 31e by bending and deforming the leg band 31. Therefore, for example, when the leg band 31 is attached to the upper arm portion 14b and the forearm portion 14d of the dog 10, respectively, the angle formed between the upper arm portion 14b and the forearm portion 14d (the appearance of the leg portion 14) is large. Also, by bending the leg band 31, the opening angle α of the split 31 e can be enlarged, and the leg band 31 can be attached to the leg 14. Further, even when the angle between the upper arm 14b and the forearm 14d changes with the walking motion of the dog 10, the leg band 31 is flexed and deformed in accordance with the change in the angle, and the crack 31e is opened. Since the angle α is variable, the movement of the leg 14 of the dog 10 is not hindered.

[0086]

According to the auxiliary device for guiding an animal of the present invention, the leg attachment device or the leg ring can be used for an animal such as a dog.
Is attached to or circumscribed to the legs of the animal, and further connected to a lead string or a cord, so that when the animal does not walk as instructed by the guide, the lead string is pulled to move the one leg of the animal. Can be regulated. An animal such as a dog walks on four legs.
By restricting the movement of the leg part, the walking movement can be stopped.

Further, by regulating the movement of one leg of the animal as described above, the animal can induce the walking of the animal without strongly pulling the lead string. There is an effect that walking guidance of animals can be easily performed, and even an inducible person such as a woman or a child can easily perform walking guidance of an animal.
Moreover, there is an effect that walking can be induced without giving excessive pain to the animal, as in a training collar for training an animal by making a plurality of protrusions bite into the neck.

In particular, according to the assisting device for guiding animals according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the leg mounting device is provided with a connecting device formed so that a lead string can be connected thereto, the animal can be walked by the connecting device. There is an effect that the movement of the leg of the animal can be regulated by connecting the lead cord for guiding to the leg attachment.

According to the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to the second aspect, in addition to the effect of the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to the first aspect, in addition to the leg mounting device attached to one leg of the animal, The lead cord is connected by the connecting device and is connected to the neck attachment device attached to the neck of the animal. Therefore, the lead string
Not only the leg attachment, but also the neck attachment via the leg attachment and the connector, for example, even when the leg attachment comes off the animal's leg, There is an effect that such an animal can be prevented from escaping.

The connecting device has a first connecting portion connected to the leg mounting device and a second connecting portion connected to the lead cord, and a distance from the second connecting portion to the first connecting portion is reduced. Since it is smaller than the distance from the neck attachment to the leg attachment,
The force applied to the leg attachment by pulling the lead string by the guide can be made larger than the force applied to the neck attachment. Therefore, there is an effect that the pulling force applied to the lead string by the guide can be easily applied to the leg of the animal via the leg attachment.

According to the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to the third aspect, the leg attachment attached to one leg of the animal is connected to a lead cord inserted through the holding hole of the connecting device. It is connected to a neck attachment that is attached to the neck. Thus, for example, even when the leg attachment comes off the animal's leg,
Since the lead string is continuously connected to the neck attachment, there is an effect that the animal can be prevented from escaping.

According to the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to the fourth aspect, the lead string for guiding the walking of an animal such as a dog,
Coupled to a neck attachment attached to the animal's neck, and
It is gripped on the animal's leg by a leg attachment that is attached to one leg of the animal. Therefore, since the leg attachment and the lead cord connected to the neck attachment are connected, there is no need to separately provide a connection member, and the manufacturing cost of the entire device can be reduced accordingly. effective.

According to the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to the fifth aspect, the leg ring into which the leg of an animal such as a dog is inserted is located between one end and the other end of the cord. Since the grip portion is provided on the end side, when the grip portion is pulled by the guide, the force applied to the leg ring by the pull is greater than the force applied to the neck connection device. can do. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to easily apply the pulling force applied by the guide to the ligature to the leg of the animal. In addition, the cord is attached by the neck connection tool,
Because it is connected to the neck attachment attached to the animal's neck,
Even if the leg ring comes off from the leg of the animal, it is possible to prevent the animal from escaping.

According to the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to the sixth aspect, in addition to the effect of the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the leg can be attached to the leg of an animal such as a dog. When mounting the device, the leg ring can be worn around a predetermined joint to expose the joint from a crack in the leg ring. The joint of the animal's leg is bent when the animal is standing or walking, so by wrapping the leg ring around the joint, it is possible to prevent the leg ring from coming off the leg. There is. For example, since the elbow joint of an animal such as a dog is bent at a predetermined angle in a standing state, the leg ring is further hardly disengaged from the leg by wrapping the leg ring around the elbow joint. You can do it.

Since the leg ring is formed of a flexible material, the leg ring bends in accordance with the bending and stretching motion of the joint around which the leg ring is worn, and can follow the bending motion of the joint. Moreover, since the joint around which the leg ring is worn is exposed to the outside of the leg ring from the split, there is an effect that the operation of the joint is not hindered by the leg ring.

According to the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to the seventh aspect, in addition to the effect of the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the leg can be attached to the leg of an animal such as a dog. When attaching a device, one leg ring is wrapped around the base of the leg from a predetermined joint in the leg of the animal, and the other leg ring is connected to the leg from a predetermined joint in the leg of the animal. It is wrapped around the tip. Since the joints of the animal's legs bend when the animal is standing or walking, the pair of leg rings can be formed by straddling the joints and wrapping the leg rings around the base and distal ends of the legs. There is an effect that it is difficult to separate from the leg. For example, the elbow joint of an animal such as a dog is bent at a predetermined angle when standing or walking, so that the leg ring is further detached from the leg by wrapping the leg ring around the elbow joint. It can be difficult.

Further, since the pair of leg rings which are wrapped around the legs are held swingably by the holding member, the opening angle of the pair of leg rings can be adjusted in accordance with the bending motion of the joint of the animal. It can be varied, and as a result, there is an effect that the movement of the animal's joint is not inhibited.

According to the assisting device for guiding an animal according to the eighth aspect, the first leg ring is wrapped around the liquid or upper arm in the front leg of the animal, and the second leg ring is connected to the other leg. The ring is wrapped around the forearm of the animal's foreleg. Since the elbow joint of the leg of an animal such as a dog bends at a predetermined angle during standing or walking, the first and second elbows are straddled over the elbow joint.
There is an effect that it is possible to make each leg ring hard to come off from the leg by surrounding the leg ring.

Further, since the first leg ring is wrapped around the lower arm or upper arm of the animal's forepaw, the second leg ring wrapped around the forearm is lifted via the holding member. There is an effect that the second leg ring can be prevented from sliding down. Also, the second leg ring
Since it is wrapped around the forearm that has weaker muscle strength than the upper arm, the first leg ring pulls up the wrapped upper arm with a lead string, which makes it difficult to move the entire leg. There is an effect that the movement of the entire leg can be hindered by the force of the above to stop the animal from walking.

Further, the first and second leg rings are held by the holding member so as to be swingable in the vicinity of the elbow joint of the front leg, so that the first and second leg rings are bent in accordance with the elbow joint movement of the animal. The opening angle of the second leg ring can be varied, and as a result, there is an effect that the movement of the elbow joint of the animal is not hindered.

According to the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to the ninth aspect, in addition to the effect of the auxiliary device for guiding an animal according to any one of the first to eighth aspects, the size of the inner diameter of the leg ring is adjusted. The adjuster allows the size of the inner diameter of the leg ring to be adjusted to match the thickness of the animal's leg according to the thickness of the animal's leg. Therefore, when an animal's leg is inserted into the inner circumference of the leg ring, the animal's leg is inserted into the inner circumference of the leg ring by operating the adjustment tool to increase the inner diameter of the leg ring. There is an effect that it can be easily performed. On the other hand, when fixing the leg ring to the leg, for example, by operating the adjuster to reduce the inner diameter of the leg ring, lightly tighten the leg ring to prevent the slip of the leg ring There is an effect that can be.
