On the other hand, when releasing the engagement of the annular member, the operating portion of the movable pin is operated with a finger against the urging force of the spring, thereby moving the movable pin and opening the opening. The opening is closed by removing the annular member from the portion and releasing the finger from the operating portion to release the engagement of the annular member.

[0004]

By the way, in the conventional mooring device, when the annular member is locked, the operating portion of the movable pin is operated by a finger against the urging force of the spring.
Since it is necessary to move the movable pin to open the opening, for example, when the temperature is low or when wearing gloves, the operation of the operation part of the movable pin cannot be performed smoothly. In particular, when the animal to be moored becomes rampant, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to lock the annular member to the mooring tool.

[0005] In addition, in the conventional mooring device, the locked annular member is caught by the operating portion of the movable pin of the mooring device due to the animal being moored, and the operating portion is twisted by the annular member. Erroneously operated, the opening is opened, the annular member comes off from the mooring tool, and there is a problem that the moored animal escapes.

In view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional mooring tool, the present invention provides a mooring tool that can easily lock the annular member without operating the movable pin operating portion of the mooring tool. The first object is to provide

Further, the present invention provides a mooring device which prevents erroneous operation of the operating section by the annular member and prevents the annular member from being detached from the mooring device by an unintended opening, and the animal being moored does not escape. The second purpose is to provide.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an animal mooring device for locking an annular member attached to an animal collar or the like. The outer surface of the distal end of the movable pin that closes the opening is formed as an inclined surface that is inclined inward toward the distal end.

In this mooring tool, the outer surface of the distal end of the movable pin is constituted by an inclined surface which is inclined inward toward the distal end, so that only the annular member is pressed against the distal end of the movable pin. The opening can be opened by moving the movable pin by sliding with the surface, whereby the annular member can be easily locked without operating the operation unit.

Further, in order to achieve the second object,
The mooring tool according to the second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the operating portion of the movable pin is constituted by an inclined surface that is gentler than the inclined surface at the tip of the movable pin.

[0011] With this structure, the protrusion height of the operating portion is minimized, and the annular member can be freely moved without being caught, thereby preventing erroneous operation of the operating portion by the annular member and preventing unintended opening. The opening of the part can prevent the annular member from being detached from the mooring tool and preventing the animal being moored from escaping.
