In addition, a light device 3 as a lighting tool is provided on the apparatus main body 1a.

  The string body 2 uses, for example, a rope made of fiber, resin, metal, or the like, and a locking member that can be freely attached to and detached from a collar (a locked member) of a pet such as a dog or a cat at its tip. As a hook device is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a reflective member (including a fluorescent member) 21 that reflects light is integrated into the cord body 2 and the cord body 2, and this reflective member 21 is used for a night walk such as a dog. Even in the dark, a person (such as an owner) having this drawstring device 1 or another person can recognize the location where the string body 2 is present, and safety can be improved.

  The apparatus body 1a is provided with a grip 4 on the opposite side of the cord body 2 from the entrance / exit 1b. The gripping part 4 has a smooth curved shape in consideration of the design surface so that the gripper 4 is not slippery when gripped by a person holding the drawstring device 1 and is not easily tired even for a long time. For example, an elastomeric material such as synthetic rubber is used.

  Further, an operation button 5 is provided on the upper surface of the apparatus main body 1a on the gripping part 4 side. This operation button 5 is for restricting the feeding operation of the cord body 2. When the operation button 5 is pressed, the feeding operation of the cord body 2 is braked and the feeding of the cord body 2 from the apparatus main body 1a is prevented. In this state, the operation button 5 can be held by appropriate holding means (not shown) (for example, sliding the operation button 5). Further, by releasing the holding and releasing the finger from the operation button 5, the operation button 5 is returned to the original state by a biasing member such as a spring, thereby releasing the brake of the feeding operation of the cord body 2 described above. I have to.

  The string body 2 itself is wound around a reel by a spring (not shown), etc., and approaches when the dog or the like approaches the apparatus main body 1a side in the state where the blocking of the string body 2 is released. By winding the string body 2 on the reel as much as possible, the string body 2 is prevented from being loosened carelessly.

  A strap 6 is provided at the lower part of the grip 4 of the apparatus main body 1a. The strap 6 is fixed to the apparatus main body 1a in a state of being formed in an annular shape. For example, when the grip portion 4 is gripped through the user's arm through the strap 6, the pull string device 1 even when the grip portion 4 is released. The strap 6 can be prevented from falling, and both hands can be freed by hooking the strap 6 on a part of the clothes or surrounding objects (hanging member), or by passing it through the wrist or arm. Etc. can be performed smoothly with both hands. For this reason, the strap 6 is made of, for example, nylon which is resistant to friction and dirt.

  On the other hand, the light device 3 is provided such that the main body 3a itself is detachable from the apparatus main body 1a as shown in FIG. Specifically, a mounting recess 1c (see FIG. 2) having a shape corresponding to the light device 3 is formed in the apparatus main body 1a, and a screw member (not shown) is mounted by mounting the light device 3 in the mounting recess 1c. Thus, the light device 3 can be easily separated from the apparatus main body 1a by fixing both together and removing the screw member.

  It is desirable that the light device 3 be detachable with a single touch with respect to the mounting recess 1c.

  A light emitting diode (LED) 31 is provided in the light device 3, and the light emitted from the light emitting diode 31 is irradiated to the outside through a transparent plate 32 disposed on the surface of the main body 3a. The light emitting diode 31 provided in this way emits light when the switch 33 provided on the main body 3a is turned on.

  Here, the light-emitting diode 31 has a number of advantages that it can be used semipermanently with less power consumption, lighter and more compact than a miniature light bulb, and without generating heat.

  By providing the light device 3 in the apparatus main body 1a in this manner, a person who walks a dog or the like by illuminating the night road with the light device 3 during a night walk of a pet such as a dog can walk safely. By illuminating the place, feces can be processed smoothly even in the dark.

  In addition, it is possible to make another person recognize the presence even in the dark by the light of the light device 3, and to improve safety.

  In addition, since the light device 3 is detachably provided on the device main body 1a, the light device 3 is separated from the device main body 1a, so that a dog or other pet can take a night walk according to the situation other than the dog. It is easy to use because it can illuminate the necessary parts alone.

  Furthermore, when either the device main body 1a or the light device 3 is damaged or when either of them is improved, versatility can be improved by replacing one of them. Further, when the apparatus main body 1a is damaged, the light apparatus 3 itself can be used alone.
