JP 2000-125698 A JP 2000-279651 A JP 11-127796 A

Patent Document 1 has a built-in pet play equipment that can be taken out by matching the holes, and Patent Document 2 has a built-in moving body that attracts the interest of animals. However, these were formed so as not to be destroyed, and could not sufficiently attract the interest of animals. On the other hand, although the thing of patent document 3 can be eaten by an animal, the raising of interest was still inadequate.

In view of such a conventional situation, an object of the present invention is to provide an edible toy for animals that strongly raises the interest of animals.

  In order to achieve the above object, the animal edible toy according to the present invention includes a sheet and a string made of an edible material, and a first container formed by penetrating the string through a hole formed in the sheet. In the first container, a window for showing the inside and / or a window can be formed.

  According to the feature, if food such as pet food is placed in the first container, the food that is visible and hidden from the hole is intrigued, and the animal tries to bite the first container to eat it. Start playing with the toy. Since the sheet and string are edible, you can eat the toy itself by biting them, and you can get the food inside by biting them, so you will be highly stimulated and tired of food acquisition instinct You will play with toys without any problems.

  Here, a string for fixing food to the first container may be attachable. Animals are more interested in getting food tied to strings. And the food connected with the string is inserted into the first container through the hole, so that the food connected to the string moves in the first container, and the animal's interest is further enhanced.

  Moreover, you may connect the 2nd container created with the said sheet | seat and the string in said 1st container via a string and / or a part of sheet | seat. As illustrated in the third embodiment, the second container moves and pronounces in the first container, which raises the interest of animals. In addition, by storing the food in the second container, the animal must bite the two containers, and the food is not readily available, which is intriguing.

  Another feature of the animal edible toy according to the present invention includes a sheet and a string made of an edible material, and includes a rolling element formed by penetrating the string through a hole formed in these sheets. There is a food attachment part to which food can be attached in an eccentric state, and this food is located under the rolling element by its own weight. As exemplified in the fourth embodiment, according to this configuration, every time an animal tries to acquire food, the food is positioned on the lower side where it is difficult to prey, and the food acquisition instinct is highly stimulated.

  Still another feature of the animal edible toy according to the present invention includes a sheet and a string made of an edible material, and forms a main body having a plurality of openings formed by penetrating the string through holes formed in these sheets. Then, a string that fixes food at both ends is passed through the opening of the main body, and the other end of the string is housed in the opening by pulling one of the penetrated strings.

As illustrated in the first and seventh embodiments, according to the same configuration, when trying to prey on the food tied to one string, the other food is stored in the main body from the opening, and the animal is It becomes difficult to acquire food by one's own action, and it is tossed, so I am addicted to play.

  A perforated flange for connecting the sheets to each other through the string may be provided at an end of the sheet, the perforated flanges may be separated and the corners may be rounded. As exemplified in the first embodiment, according to this configuration, when the animal bites the flange, the gums are prevented from being damaged, and the flanges are separated from each other, so that the sheet is bent. Is possible.

  A taste or aroma preferred by animals may be added to at least a part of the string. Moreover, you may add the taste or fragrance which an animal likes to the inner surface of the said container. Cowhide can be appropriately used as the edible material.

  According to the characteristics of the animal edible toy according to the present invention, it has become possible to strongly raise the interest of animals. Other objects, configurations, and effects of the present invention will become apparent from the following embodiments of the present invention.

  Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as appropriate. FIG. 1 which shows 1st embodiment is the edible toy 1 for animals of this invention, and is comprised by the 1st container 2 and the string 3. FIG. The first container 2 has a shape in which the bottoms of the two cones 23 and 23 face each other. The string 3 is formed in an elongated and linear shape.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the first container 2 includes two semicircular sheets 21 and 21 forming two cones 23 and 23, three connecting strings 31, and two It is composed of a drawer string 32. As shown in FIG. 2, the semicircular sheet 21 has a pair of notches 22 located at the center of the semicircular circle, a flange 40 at the outer periphery of the circle, and a straight outer edge with the notch 22 as the center. It has two trapezoidal edges 42 formed. The flange portion 40 has 18 perforated flanges 41 that are semicircular scissors having a connecting hole 43 at the approximate center thereof. Each edge portion 42 has five connecting holes 43. The planar portion of the sheet 21 has two openings 30 each formed of a plurality of substantially circular holes.

  Both the first container 2 and the string 3 are formed of cowhide. This cow leather is soaked with the above ingredients by dipping in a solution of xylitol, furanovoid, sorbitol, tea catechin, or the like. The first container 2 and the string 3 are formed by processing cowhide with high-temperature steam, and pressing and punching using a predetermined mold. The external appearances of the first container 2 and the string 3 are translucent. The first container 2 and the string 3 can be eaten by an animal, and can be broken or bitten.

  Next, a method for creating the toy 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3A, the two edges 42 and 42 of the sheet 21 are bent 90 degrees. Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the connecting string 31 is passed through the connecting hole 43 adjacent to the notch 22 in one edge 42 of the sheet 21. At that time, a knot 31 a is created at one end of the connecting string 31 and the other end is passed through the connecting hole 43. The connection string 31 that has passed through the connection hole 43 passes through the connection hole 43 adjacent to the notch 22 of the other edge 42 of the sheet 21.

  As described above, the connecting string 31 is passed from the connecting hole 43 close to the notch 22 to the connecting hole 43 close to the notch 22 of the other edge 42, and the operation is performed on the connecting holes 43 of both edges 42. The connecting string 31 is passed so as to pass alternately. The connecting string 31 is loosely tightened to form a substantially conical shape in which one edge 42 and the other edge 42 are gently opposed to each other as shown in FIG.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (d), a knot 32 a is made at one end of the drawer string 32, and the other end of the drawer string 32 is passed through the notch 22. At this time, it is confirmed that the knot 32a created on one end side does not fall out of the notch 22 when the drawer string 32 is pulled in the other end direction. Two of the drawer strings 32 are passed through the notch 22. Next, as shown in FIG.3 (e), the connection string 31 is tightened strongly and the knot 31a is created. Thereby, the edge part 42 closely_contact | adheres and the cone 23 is formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 3F, the 18 perforated flanges 41 are bent 90 degrees outward. The above-described series of operations is performed on the other sheet 21 to create two cones 23.

  Next, as shown in FIG.3 (g), the bottom parts of the two cones 23 and 23 are put together. At that time, the positions of the cones 23 and 23 are adjusted so that the connecting holes 43 provided in the perforated flange 41 face each other. Moreover, when putting the foodstuff 100 in the inside of the 1st container 2, it inserts in the step which matches this cone 23 * 23. The connecting string 31 is passed through the connecting holes 43 of the cones 23 and 23 alternately. At this time, a knot is created at one end of the connecting string 31 and the other end is passed through the connecting hole 43. When the connection string 31 has been passed through all the 18 connection holes 43, the connection string 31 is tightly tightened and a knot is created at the other end of the connection string 31. The toy 1 is created by the series of operations described above.

  Below, the usage method of the toy 1 is demonstrated. If food 100 such as pet food is placed in the first container 2, the food 100 that is visible and hidden from the opening 30 is intrigued, and the animal tries to bite the first container 2 to eat it. Then, play with the toy 1 is started. Since the sheet 21 and the string 3 are edible, the toy 1 itself can be eaten by biting them. In addition, since the animal can bite through the sheet 21 and obtain the food 100 inside, the food acquisition instinct is highly stimulated and the toy 1 can be played without getting tired.

  Moreover, it is possible to attach the foodstuff 100 to the front-end | tip of the drawer string 32 extended so that extraction from the 1st container 2 was possible. As a result, the animal is more interested in acquiring the food 100 attached to the tip of the drawer string 32.

  The following usage is also possible. As shown in FIG. 4, one of the drawer strings 32 is inserted into the opening 30 formed in one cone 23 of the first container 2, and the drawer string 32 is penetrated to the opening 30 in the other cone 23. . The foods 100 and 100 are fixed to both ends of the drawn-out draw string 32. At that time, the size of the food 100 is set smaller than the opening 30. Accordingly, if the food 100 fixed to one end of the drawer string 32 is to be eaten, the food 100 fixed to the other end is stored in the first container 2 from the opening 30, and the animal moves the food by its own action. It ’s harder to get 100, and you ’re messed with.

  In the present embodiment, the flange portion 40 having the connection hole 43 is provided on the outer edge of the cone body 23. The flange portion 40 is arranged by separating a semicircular perforated flange 41 with rounded corners. Thereby, when an animal bites into the flange part 40, the damage of a gum can be prevented. Further, since the flange portion 40 is partitioned, the sheet 21 can be easily bent when the conical portion 23 is created. Moreover, since the perforated flange 41 is semicircular, the toy 1 can be smoothly rolled. Furthermore, since the toy 1 has a shape in which the cones are connected, when the toy 1 rolls, the toy 1 rolls irregularly, and this irregular movement may cause more curiosity of the animal. it can.

  Moreover, the cowhide which forms the 1st container 2 and the string 3 is infiltrated with components such as xylitol, furanovoid, solibitol, and tea catechin. Thereby, when an animal bites the 1st container 2 and the string 3, effects, such as preservation of an animal's tooth | gear and gum, prevention of bad breath, stress reduction, and removal of dental plaque, can be acquired.

  In addition, it is also possible to add a taste or fragrance to the entire first container 2 or only the drawer string 32. For example, the taste or fragrance can be added by immersing the entire first container 2 or only the drawer string 32 in a broth such as a chicken fillet or beef desired by an animal. Thereby, in particular, when only the drawer string 32 is given a taste or fragrance, the animal is attached to the drawer string 32, and it becomes possible to raise the interest of the animal.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to apply a taste or fragrance component desired by the animal to the inner surfaces of the cones 23 and 23 forming the first container 2. For example, a sweet ingredient such as honey or sugar water is applied. Thus, by applying the taste or fragrance component desired by the animal to the inner surfaces of the cones 23 and 23 forming the first container 2, the animal bites through the first container 2 and removes the components on the inner surface of the cone 23. It can provoke the desire to get.

As described above, the toy 1 of the present embodiment can give a high degree of stimulation to an animal and strongly raise the interest of the animal. Thus, for example, when an answering machine is used only by an animal, the animal is never bored because the toy 1 is always highly stimulated by giving the animal the toy 1. In addition, all the specific examples described in the above embodiments can be applied in combination with other embodiments described below.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, in the present embodiment, the sheet 21 has a square shape. A flange portion 40 is provided on the periphery of the rectangular sheet 21, and a connection hole 43 is opened in the flange portion 40. In addition, the sheet 21 has three squares connected in the horizontal direction, and an opening 30 is provided at the center of the square.

  The toy 1 is created using the two rectangular sheets 21. Two connecting portions of the three squares forming the sheets 21 and 21 are bent at right angles to form a U-shape of Katakana. The U-shaped sheets 21 and 21 are opposed so that the U-shape forms a sealed space. The connection method of the sheet | seat 21 * 21 is tied up to the connection hole 43 through the connection string 31 (not shown). Thereby, the cube-shaped toy 1 as shown in FIG.5 (b) can be formed.

  The toy 1 of the present embodiment is characterized in that the shape of the toy 1 is cube-like, so that the toy 1 rolls smoothly. In addition, when the food 100 is inserted into the toy 1, the food 100 inside the toy 1 can be confirmed from any external angle, so that the animal's desire for food acquisition can be raised, and the toy 1 can be played without getting tired. It becomes possible.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown to Fig.6 (a), the toy 1 of this embodiment has the pillow case-like 2nd container 20 inserted in the inside of the pillow case-like 1st container 2 similarly. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6B, the first container 2 is formed of a large sheet 11, and the second container 20 is formed of a sheet 21, and these are connected by a perforation L so as to be cut off. The large sheet 11 and the sheet 21 have two upper and lower curved portions in the drawing, and have flange portions 40 on the right and left straight sides. A connecting hole 43 is formed in the flange portion 40. Although not shown, the large sheet 11 and the sheet 21 have openings 30. Further, the large sheet 11 and the sheet 21 are provided with dashed cut lines that are opposed to the curved curves of the upper and lower portions of the large sheet 11 and the sheet 21. Further, a fold line is provided at a connecting portion between the two curved portions. A connecting hole 43 is provided in each of the large sheet 21 and the upper and lower curved portions of the sheet 21.

  Next, how to make the toy 1 of this embodiment will be described. The large sheet 11 and the sheet 21 are separated by the perforation L, and the upper and lower curved portions thereof are bent at right angles along the broken cut lines. The large sheet 11 and the sheet 21 are bent 180 degrees along the folding line of the large sheet 11 and the sheet 21.

  First, the sheet 21 is inserted inside the large sheet 11 bent 180 degrees. A knot is formed in one of the connecting cords 31, and the other of the connecting cords 31 is passed through the upper through hole 44 of the large sheet 11, and then the upper and lower through holes 45 of the sheet 21 are passed through. Finally, the connecting string 31 is passed through the through hole 44 at the bottom of the large sheet 11. Here, the upper and lower parts (upper and lower) are the upper and lower parts in FIG.

  Next, the flange portions 40 and 40 of the sheet 21 are brought into contact with each other, and tied up to a connection hole 43 provided in the flange portion 40 using a connection string 31 (not shown). Thereby, the second container 20 is formed. Next, in the same manner, the flange portions 40 and 40 of the large sheet 11 are brought into contact with each other, and tied up to a connection hole 43 provided in the flange portion 40 using a connection string 31 (not shown). Thereby, the first container 2 including the second container 20 is formed. Finally, the other end of the connecting string 31 that penetrates the first container 2 and the second container 20 in FIG. 6 (a) is tied up to form a knot. Thereby, the 2nd container 20 will be supported by the connection string 31, and the 2nd container 20 will be in the state which floats in the inside of the 1st container 2 (lifts).

  Thereby, when the toy 1 rolls, the second container 20 collides with the first container 2 to generate sound. By generating a sound by rolling in this way, it is possible to raise the interest of the animal and to play without getting tired. Further, by inserting the food 100 such as the dock food into the second container 20 and / or the first container 2, sound is more likely to be generated. Therefore, it is possible to raise the interest of animals. Furthermore, by storing the food 100 only in the second container 20, the animal must bite both the first container 2 and the second container 20, and the food 100 cannot be easily obtained. On the contrary, it will raise interest. In addition, the animal tries to bite the first container 2 more seriously in order to obtain the second container 20 that is difficult to touch by making only the second container 20 soaked with taste and aroma. Therefore, it can raise interest more.

  In the present embodiment, the large sheet 11 and the sheet 21 can be nested and created without being separated. As a result, the second container 20 floats in a state of being connected to the end of the first container 2. In this case, the string 31 passes through the connection holes 44 and 46. Therefore, a sound can be sounded better when the second container 20 is positioned so as to be shifted from the center inside the first container 2.

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a rolling element 50 is formed by connecting a connecting hole 43 provided in the center of two circular sheets 21 with a thick and hard connecting string 31. Inside the rolling element 50, a sheet-like food attachment portion 51 that is curved so as to cover the connecting string 31 is provided. The food attachment portion 51 has a parabolic cross section and an open top of the parabola. Thereby, this food attachment part 51 will be in the state eccentric when seeing the connection string 31 in the center. The food attachment portion 51 is provided with an opening 30. By inserting the food 100 into this opening and tying it with a string, the food is always positioned below the rolling element 50 due to its own weight.

  In this embodiment, every time an animal tries to acquire the food 100 connected to the toy 1, the food 100 is located at the lower part of the toy 1 that is difficult to prey, and the food acquisition instinct can be highly stimulated. . Moreover, when the toy 1 rotates and moves due to the center of gravity of the rolling element 50 being eccentric from the center of the rolling element 50 due to its own weight, the toy 1 moves at an irregular rotational speed. It can stimulate the predatory instinct of animals.

  Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Fig.8 (a) is an external view of the toy 1 of this embodiment. FIG. 8B is a development view of the toy according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the toy 1 includes six openings 30 cut out in a diamond shape, and a shaft sheet 24 in which both outer ends adjacent to the opening 30 are cut in a semi-diamond shape, The shaft sheet 24 is composed of two circular circular sheets 25 connected to the upper and lower ends of the shaft sheet 24. Eight perforated flanges 41 are provided on the side of the shaft sheet 24 to which the circular sheet 25 is connected. A connecting hole 43 is provided in the center of the perforated flange 41. Four edge portions 42 are provided on the side of the shaft sheet 24 that is not cut into the half-rhombus shape. Two connecting holes 43 are provided in each of the four edge portions 42. In addition, eight connecting holes 43 are provided on the outer periphery of the circular sheet 25, and a large window 35 is provided substantially at the center.

  A method for producing the toy 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the circular sheet 25 is bent at a right angle with a boundary portion between the circular sheet 25 and the shaft sheet 24 as a fulcrum. Next, the connection hole 43 on the outer periphery of the circular sheet 25 at the top of the drawing and the connection hole 43 of the perforated flange 41 of the shaft sheet 24 are alternately tied by the connection string 31 and tied up. A knot is created at one end of the other connecting string 31. The other end of the connecting string 31 is passed through the window 35 at the center of the circular sheet 25 at the top of the drawing. Further, the connecting string 31 is passed through the window 35 at the center of the circular sheet 25 at the bottom of the drawing. The food product 100 is inserted into the shaft sheet 24. Next, the connection hole 43 on the outer periphery of the circular sheet 25 at the bottom of the drawing and the connection hole 43 of the perforated flange 41 of the shaft sheet 24 are alternately tied by the connection string 31 and tied up. Finally, the connecting string 31 penetrating the center of the circular sheet 25 is pulled strongly to create a knot at the other end of the connecting string 31.

  By the action of the connecting string 31 penetrating through the center of the circular sheet 25, the opening area of the rhomboid opening 30 provided in the shaft sheet 24 can be reduced as shown in FIG. Thereby, it becomes difficult to take out the food 100 from the outside. Moreover, it becomes possible to adjust the difficulty of taking out the food 100 by the extent to which the connecting string 31 penetrating the center of the circular sheet 25 is pulled. Further, by pulling the connecting string 31 to the maximum extent, it is possible to bias the food 100 toward only one circular sheet 25 side. Thereby, rolling of the toy 1 becomes irregular, and it can raise interest more.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, it is also possible to insert a large bone-shaped food 100 into the toy 1 and tie up the diamond-shaped opening 30 with a string from the outside. In this case, even if the portion of the circular sheet 25 is bitten, since the food 100 is fixed to the shaft sheet 24 portion by the string, it is not possible to easily take out the food 100 alone and eat it. Therefore, it becomes possible to maintain the interest of the animal for a long time.

  Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9A is an external view of this embodiment. This embodiment is formed by stacking 12 circular sheets 21 shown in FIG. 9B. The circular sheet 21 has a central connection hole 43a at the center of the circle, 16 peripheral connection holes 43b at the periphery of the circular sheet 21, and four openings 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d having different sizes inside the circular sheet. Have.

  The toy 1 of the present embodiment is formed by stacking twelve circular sheets 21, passing through a connecting string 31 having a knot at one end through the central connecting hole 43a, and creating a knot at the other end. The side view at that time is shown in FIG. Thus, the toy 1 is placed obliquely due to the knot, and the toy 1 can be moved. In addition, the connection string 31 is appropriately passed through the 16 peripheral connection holes 43b and tightened.

In the case of the present embodiment, only the uppermost circular sheet 21 and the lowermost circular sheet 21 shown in FIG. 9A are shifted in phase with the other ten circular sheets 21, thereby four openings 30a. , 30b, 30c, and 30d can create a space. By inserting the food 100 into this space, it is necessary to bite the uppermost or lowermost circular sheet 21 or to bite the connection string 31 penetrating the central connection 43a or the peripheral connection hole 43b. Can't get 100. Moreover, it is possible to adjust the difficulty level which can obtain the foodstuff 100 of the toy 1 by adjusting the number of the connection strings 31 which penetrate the peripheral connection hole 43b.

  In the present embodiment, it is also possible to arrange the phases from the uppermost circular sheet 21 to the lowermost circular sheet 21 with a slight shift (for example, about 3 degrees). By doing so, four slanted spaces appear inside the toy 1 as shown in FIG. Even if the uppermost circular sheet 21 is bitten by inserting the food 100 having the same size as the slanted space, the food 100 in the space is caught by another circular sheet 21 and taken out. It becomes difficult. In other words, it is possible to provide the toy 1 having a very high degree of difficulty that the food 100 inside the space cannot be obtained unless all the connecting strings 31 are bitten or most of the circular sheet 12 is bitten. Become.

Next, a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is an external view of this embodiment. In the present embodiment, the sheet 21 is formed in a conical shape, and the connection hole 43 is provided in the apex portion and the side surface portion of the cone to form the first container 2. As shown in FIG. 10, the six first containers 2 are tied up through connection strings 31 (not shown) in connection holes 43 (not shown) provided in the side surfaces. Further, the drawer string 32 is inserted into the connecting hole 43 at the apex portion of the cone, and the drawer string 32 is pulled out from the first container 2 facing the cone. The drawer string 32 can be pulled out from the toy 1 and moved. The food 100 is fixed to both ends of the drawer string 32.

  In the case of the toy of the present embodiment, the food 100 attached to one end of the drawer string 32 is pulled into the first container 2 by pulling the food 100 attached to the other end. Therefore, it is not easy to take out the drawn food 100. Thereby, it becomes possible to raise the interest of an animal strongly.

  Next, an eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11A is an external view of this embodiment. FIG. 11B is a development view of the first container 2 of the present embodiment. The present embodiment is formed by assembling the first container 2 shown in FIG. 11B into a triangular pyramid shape and combining the four triangular pyramid-shaped first containers 2. The method of assembling the first container 2 and the method of combining the four first containers 2 are in accordance with the above-described embodiment.

  In the case of this embodiment, if the food 100 is inserted into any one of the four first containers 2, the center of gravity of the toy 1 becomes unbalanced, rolls irregularly, and strongly raises the interest of animals. Is possible. Also, by assembling four triangular pyramids, a triangular pyramid space appears inside. By inserting the food 100 into this internal space, it is difficult to easily obtain the food 100, so that it is possible to strongly raise the interest of animals.

  Next, a ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is an external view of the toy 1 according to the ninth embodiment. In this embodiment, four semi-cylindrical sheets 21 are connected by a connecting string 31. Specifically, a connecting hole 43 is provided in the vicinity of the top of the semicylindrical sheet 21, and the opposing sheets 21 are connected by a connecting string 31. The food 100 is connected to the connecting string 31 in the internal space of the toy 1.

  In the toy 1 of the present embodiment, since the food 100 is connected to the internal space of the toy 1, the food 100 cannot be easily acquired. Moreover, since this toy 1 is formed in a semi-cylindrical periphery, the rolling becomes stepwise. This stepwise rolling can strongly raise the interest of animals.

  The above embodiments can be implemented in combination. It is also possible to give a scent instead of a taste depending on the situation, and a taste may be given instead of a scent. The shapes of the strings 31, 32 and the holes can be changed as appropriate. Moreover, although the example which accommodates a 2nd container in a 1st container only in 3rd embodiment was illustrated, you may accommodate a 2nd container in a 1st container also in each embodiment. It is also possible to nest more than two containers. Containers having substantially the same shape and different sizes in the nesting state may be used, or containers having completely different shapes may be nested.
