In FIG. 1, the dog 1 is placed on the trimming table 3 held at a certain height by the legs 4 during trimming, and a dog holding device 10 is applied to the lower part of the abdomen by a method described later. In this case, the dog 1 is standing with four legs.

  As is well known, for example, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Toy Poodle are used for small dogs, Maltese, Seeds, Yorkshire Terrier, Miniature Dachshund are used for small dogs, Shiba Inu, Bulldog, There is a beagle. A plurality of dog holding devices 10 are prepared and assembled according to the height of the dog or the length of the legs.

  Here, trimming refers to care such as shampooing, drying, hair blowing, cutting, brushing, tooth care such as toothpaste, or wearing clothes. Furthermore, the dog holding device 10 of the present embodiment may be used for dog training.

  The state shown in FIG. 1 shows a state in which the trimmer 2 has scissors 5 in its right hand and puts the left hand on the lower neck 6 of the dog to calm the dog and perform cutting.

  A detailed view of the dog holding device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. In FIG. 2, the dog holding device 10 includes a mounting table 11, a cushion portion 12 mounted on the mounting table 11, and a cover 13 (shown by dotted lines) that wraps these two members and fixes the cushion portion 12 to the mounting table 11. A dog abdomen holding part 14, a support member (support leg) 15 for fixing and supporting the dog abdomen holding part 14 in the downward vertical direction (on the opposite side to the cushion part 12), and the support member 15 are fixed. And a non-slip sheet 17 affixed to the lower surface, that is, the bottom surface of the fixed plate 16.

  The mounting table 11 has a circular shape or an elliptical shape, and is formed as a lifting portion 21 (22) whose perspective end portion is slightly lifted in FIG. 2, and its overall cross-sectional shape is concave. That is, when the dog abdomen holding part 14 is applied to the abdomen of the dog 1, the raised portions 21 (22) are located on both sides of the abdomen and follow the abdomen shape.

  It is good also as a structure which can be changed into the area according to the magnitude | size of the abdominal part by making the mounting base 11 into a bellows shape or pulling out.

  The cushion portion 12 is made of a soft material such as cotton or sponge, and serves as a cushion when applied to the abdomen of the dog 1 so that the dog 1 is brought into contact with the dog holding device. It is said that it does not hesitate.

  Thus, the dog holding device 10 is movable and non-fixedly placed on the trimming table 3.

  The cushion portion 12 has a shape that rises as a whole, but the near and far end portion in FIG. 2 is formed as a raised portion 24 (23) slightly raised along the shape of the mounting table 11.

  The cover 13 is made of cloth. In the case of this example, the cover 13 is used to fix the cushion portion 12 to the mounting table 11, but the cushion portion 12 is appropriately fixed to the mounting table 11 as appropriate (for example, using an adhesive). Also good.

  The support member 15 includes an upper support portion 35, a lower support portion 36, and a stopper 27. The support member 15 has a rod shape and is inserted into a hole in the circular lower support portion 36, and the height thereof is adjusted by vertical movement. The stopper 27 provided in the hole 28 formed in the side surface portion of the lower support portion 36 at an arbitrary height is fixed by pressing it against the upper support portion 35. As described above, the support member 15 has the adjusting means for adjusting the height, but the adjusting means is not limited to the manual fastener of this example, and may be a hydraulic type or an electric type. In this way, the dog abdomen holding portion 14 is fixedly supported in the downward vertical direction, and the support member 15 is formed so that the height is adjusted. In the case of this example, the support member 15 has a linear shape downward, but may have a curved shape or a curved shape, and in this case, the function of fixing and supporting in the downward vertical direction is the same. Moreover, the support member 15 may attach an elastic function part in the middle.

  The stationary platen 16 has a plate shape. In this example, the plate shape is used, but a mountain shape may be used. A hole (not shown) is provided in the center of the fixed platen 16, and the lower support portion 36 is inserted into this hole, and the lower support portion 36, that is, the support member 15 is fixed to the fixed platen 16 by welding. Reference numeral 29 denotes a welded portion. In the case of this example, the welding method is adopted, but other methods may be adopted as the fixing method.

  In the case of this example, the dog abdomen holding part 14 and the stationary platen 16 are circular or elliptical, and the diameter of the circular shape of the dog abdomen holding part 14 is the same as or slightly smaller than the shape of the stationary platen 16. The weight of the fixed platen 16 is heavier than the weights of both the dog abdomen holding part 14 and the support member 15, and the center of gravity is lowered to ensure stability.

  It is assumed that the size of the area of the dog abdomen holding portion 14 is comparable to the size of the hand of the trimmer 2. This is to resemble the feel of the dog's abdomen when the trimmer 2 touches it, and is characterized by a wider area than a string or band. Therefore, in this example, the wide area of the contact surface provided in the dog abdomen holding part 14 is used to mean that it is comparable to the size of the palm of the hand of the trimmer 2, but is slightly smaller for small dogs. Is desirable.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the dog holding device 10 can be carried, and the dog abdomen holding part 14 can be appropriately applied to the lower part of the abdomen of the dog 1 and moved according to the progress of trimming. is there. Even after the movement, the dog 1 is held over a wide area. In this way, the dog abdomen holding part 14 comprising the mounting table 11 and the cushion part 12 that is placed on the mounting table 11 and can move over a wide region of the lower part of the abdomen of the dog and abuts non-fixedly. Composed.

  The example shown in FIG. 3 is substantially the same as the example shown in FIG. 2, but the dog abdomen holding portion 14 is provided to be inclined so as to correspond to the inclined shape of the lower part of the abdomen of the dog 1. By adopting such an inclined configuration, the dog abdomen holding portion 14 having a fit can be obtained in accordance with the type of dog and the inclined shape of the lower abdomen. In the example of the figure, the inclination angle is fixed, but a dog abdomen holding portion 14 that can appropriately change the angle in an arbitrary direction using a ball bearing device or the like may be used. In this case, the angle may be determined naturally by bringing the cushion portion 12 into contact with the lower part of the dog belly. Or you may make it adjust and fix to arbitrary angles.

  Further, as described above, a plurality of dog holding devices 10 can be configured according to the type and size of the dog. In this case, a combination dog holding device is provided in which the dog holding device 10 shown in FIG. 2 or 3 is combined so that the height adjustment range of the support member 15 is different.

  In FIG. 1, when trimming the dog, the trimmer 2 carries the dog holding device 10 into the lower abdomen of the dog 1 on the trimming table 3, and adjusts the height of the support member 15 to adjust the cushion portion 12 to the lower abdomen. The cushion portion 12 is applied over a wide area of the lower part of the abdomen of the dog, and the dog stands using four legs to form a state in which a part of the weight of the dog is held.

  In order to form this state and give the dog a sense of security, the trimmer 2 places the left hand under the neck of the dog and trims the dog. If necessary, the dog abdomen holding unit 14 is moved to continue trimming the dog.

  The dog 1 can be trimmed with peace of mind because the cushion portion 12 having a size comparable to the size of the hand of the trimmer 2 is applied to the abdomen. Therefore, trimming in such a state causes less stress on the dog, so that trimming time is reduced and fatigue on the dog is reduced. By reducing the stress on the dog in this way, the dog's neck can be trimmed sufficiently by simply placing the left hand under the dog's neck without fixing the dog's neck with a fixture. It can be carried out. Of course, depending on the type of dog, conventional methods and means may be used together to prevent danger. In this case, the dog's neck is supported and fixed, and the dog's hind leg's abdomen side tuck is supported and fixed so that the dog is trimmed at three points, but one point is unfixed support. Needless to say.

  If a method of holding a part of the dog's weight by suspending it with a strap or band is used, the holding part is fixed, which causes the fixing part to turn red by the holder, which causes the dog to hesitate to trim. It is possible to avoid the contact portion from becoming red by using a cushion portion that is contacted non-fixedly as in this example.

You may make it fasten with a string instead of rubber | gum.

  The mounting table 11 has a structure in which both end portions are lifted upward, and when the cushion portion 12 is mounted on the mounting table 11, both sides of the cushion portion 12 are lifted by the mounting table shape, and the flat cushion portion 12 is used. As a result, the overall shape can be raised on both sides to match the shape of the lower abdomen of the dog 1. In the mounting table of (c), both sides are lifted, but a flat plate as shown in (c ′) can be used. In this case, as shown in (b ′), it is possible to use a structure in which the cushion portions 12 are thick on both sides 25 and 26 and the overall shape is lifted on both sides.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which the whole shape raised on both sides combining these structures. In FIG. 2, this lifted structure is indicated by numeral 21, and the other side is 22.

  The upper support part 35 is a metal rod-like body, the upper end is welded and joined to the metal mounting table 11, and the lower end part is inserted into the hole 32 of the lower support part 36. A hole 28 is formed on the side of the lower support portion 36, and a screw is cut. The screw 39 of the stopper 27 is screwed into this screw to enter the inside, and the hole 32 is inserted into the upper support. The upper support part 35 is fixed to the lower support part 36 in contact with the part 35. A lower end surface of the lower support portion 36 is closed, and a cushion made of cork or the like is provided at the bottom of the hole 32 so that no sound is emitted even if the upper support portion 35 hits.

  The lower support portion 36 is inserted into a hole 33 provided in the center of the fixed platen 16, welded in this state, and fixed to the fixed platen 16. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a welding fixing portion 29 is formed by this welding.

  As described above, the non-slip sheet 17 is adhered to the bottom surface 34 of the fixed platen 16.

  Parts (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (a), (b '), (c'), (d), (e), (f) Are assembled to form the dog holding device 10 shown in FIG.

  The dog holding device 10 configured as described above can be easily carried, and can be easily moved even during trimming to change the contact position of the lower part of the dog belly. Trimming, for example, drying of the dog's abdomen, paws of the foot, and the hair at the bottom of the neck can be easily performed. That is, workability is improved. And if it is set as the structure shown in FIG. 3, when the cushion part 12 matches a dog belly lower part, the mental stability of a dog will be improved further and it will become easy to trim.
