Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing a pet bed (hereinafter simply referred to as a bed) 1 according to the embodiment, FIG. 3 is a side sectional view seen from the direction of FIG. 2A, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view seen from the back. 5 is a bend 1 by bending the surrounding portion 3
It is the perspective view which showed the state which folded. Bed 1
The front opening is opened as a pet doorway (hereinafter referred to as a doorway) 5, and the rear opening is a back sheet 3.
It has a surrounding part 3 closed in D and formed in an arch shape. The surrounding portion 3 is formed in an arch shape having a top surface 3A and both side portions 3B and 3B extending downward from left and right sides of the top surface 3A.

A bottom member 2 on which a pet can be seated is provided integrally with the bottom 3E on the bottom 3E of the surrounding portion 3.
The pet sitting on the bottom member 2 can be rested while being surrounded by the surrounding portion 3. In addition, the bed 1 includes a back support member 6 that supports the arch shape of the surrounding portion 3 behind the surrounding portion 3. A heater for heating can be placed on the bottom member 2 (not shown). At this time, the cord of the heater is inserted into the insertion hole 7 provided near the lower part 6C of the sheet 3D and the back support member 6, and is guided to the outside of the bed 1.

The back support member 6 can be switched between an upright position in which the back support member 6 is in contact with the back sheet 3D to support the arch shape of the surrounding portion 3 and a stacked position in which the back support member 6 is superimposed on the bottom member 2. So as to be attached to the rear of the bottom member 2 provided integrally with the bottom 3E. That is, the back support member 6
Since only the lower part 6C is attached to the bottom member 2, the is moved like a hinge in the X and Y directions in FIG. When the back support member 6 is moved in the X direction, the back support member 6 comes into an upright state in contact with the back sheet 3D and capable of supporting the shape of the surrounding portion 3.

On the other hand, when the back support member 6 is moved in the Y direction, the back support member 6 assumes a superposed position in which the back support member 6 is overlaid on the bottom member 2. Then, the surrounding portion 3 is no longer supported by the back support member 6 and is freely bent. The top surface 3A, the side views 3B, 3B, and the front surface 3C of the surrounding portion 3, the bottom member 2, and the back support member 6 are all made of a cushion body having cushioning properties. The cushion body is formed by covering the surface of an elastic body such as polyurethane foam (polyurethane) with a cloth.

Of the surfaces of these cushions, when the back support member 6 supports the surrounding portion 3 in the back sheet 3D to form the pet space 8, the surface constituting the inner surface of the space 8 (in FIG. 3). , Hatched portions) are all covered with a bore material. Thereby, the interior of the space 8 is provided with a good touch and an appropriate heat retaining property for the pet. In addition, as shown in FIG.
May also be covered with a bore material. On the other hand, the back sheet 3D and the bottom 3E of the surrounding portion 3 are not formed of a cushion but formed of a simple cloth. As described above, since the surrounding portion 3 and the back sheet 3D are formed of an elastic body or a cloth material, they can be bent freely, and are easily folded when the back support member 6 is set to the overlapping position.

The back support 6 is provided at the entrance 5 of the back support 6.
The side surface (hereinafter referred to as the front surface) 6A is a surface forming the inner surface of the pet space 8, and is thus covered with a bore material. A surface (hereinafter, referred to as a back surface) 6B of the back support member 6 on the back sheet 3D side is covered with a cloth material.
In the present embodiment, the surface 6A of the back support member 6 and the surface of the bottom member 2 are covered with a continuous bore fabric 10. The cloth material covering the back support member 6 and the cloth material 12 forming the back sheet 3D are continuous and continuous.

The boring material 10 is provided at the lower part 6C of the back support member 6.
It is turned around to form a turning point 10A. The cloth 12 is also folded near the lower part 6C, so that a turning point 12 is formed.

Are sewn to each other at a sewing point H (circled in the drawing) behind the bottom member 2, and are sewn to the bottom member 2 simultaneously with the sewing. In this way, the back support member 6 is attached to the rear of the bottom member 2. At the sewing point H, since the elastic body is not sewn, the thickness thereof is thin, and the back support member 6 can easily switch between the standing state and the overlapping state.

The bed 1 is used in such an assembled state (FIG. 9). However, the bed 1 may be used in a state where the back support member 6 is set in a superposed position, and is superposed on the bottom member 2 (FIG. 6). . In this case, the cushioning property of the bottom member on which the pet sits is improved. That is, the back support member 6 is
By making it possible to switch between the standing posture and the overlapping posture, the cushioning property of the pet sitting portion can be easily changed. In addition, when the back support member 6 is in the superposed position in this way, the rear of the surrounding portion 3 is only the back sheet 3D made of the cotton cloth 12, so that ventilation is easily performed behind the surrounding portion 3. Thereby, good air permeability in the pet space 8 is ensured.

At this time, the shape of the back support member 6 is the bottom member 2
It is preferable that the shape is substantially the same as the shape described above because the cushioning property can be uniformly improved over the entire bottom member. Although not shown, the back support member 6 includes a back support member 6.
Locking means for locking the inner surface of the surrounding portion 3 may be provided. For example, if a locking means is provided near the periphery of the back support member 6, the back support member 6 is locked to the inner surface of the arch-shaped surrounding portion 3 in the back sheet 3D, and the back support member 6 can be easily surrounded by the surrounding portion.
