Description

  The present invention relates to a pet liquid-absorbent sheet that absorbs urine of a pet such as a dog and a cage wall surface locking device.

  In general, as a liquid absorbent sheet for pets that absorbs the urine of pets such as dogs (pets), it consists of a fiber layer such as a nonwoven fabric that holds a superabsorbent polymer on one side of a synthetic resin waterproof sheet. It is well known that a water-absorbing material is integrally stacked.

  Such a liquid-absorbing sheet for pets is also simply called “pet sheet”, and is hygienic when breeding pets, cats, rabbits and other pets indoors in various recent pet breeding booms. It is widely used as a pet product that can easily take care of them.

  By the way, the posture at the time of urination differs depending on the type of pet of small animals such as dogs, cats, etc., especially the habits of the dog's male, and the dog raises one hind leg to urine on an upright object, The behavior is based on the habit of marking behavior to show territory by adding odor.

  Attach double-sided adhesive tape to the back of the absorbent mat so that it corresponds to the urination posture of the male dog, crease the sheet so that it can be bent at a right angle in the middle, and bend at a right angle at the fold. There is known a pet sheet that can be fixed with the adhesive tape in a state of continuously covering the floor surface to the wall surface (Patent Document 1).

  Also known is a feces excrement absorption sheet for pets, in which a liquid-impervious material flap is extended from one side of the floor absorbent mat, folded to allow the flap to stand upright, and only the flap can be adhered to the wall with adhesive tape. (Patent Document 2).

No. 3-6205 JP 2001-8568 A

  However, the above-described conventional liquid absorbent sheet for pets (hereinafter abbreviated as “pet sheet”) can be attached to the back and edges of the sheet with an adhesive tape in advance. It is necessary to peel off the release paper that covers the paper and press the adhesive surface to a predetermined position on the floor and the wall surface, and also to bond and fix the pet sheet while unfolding it. It is easy, and if the pet peels off or pulls the sheet temporarily, the adhesive strength will be weakened and it will not be possible to re-adhere. It is not easy to maintain for a long time.

  Moreover, even if the pet sheet can be set in a good state, it is necessary to replace it after one to several days. In that case, the adhesive tape is pasted on the floor and the wall surface many times at the same position. Dust tends to adhere to the portion of the pet sheet where the adhesive is left, and there is also a problem that it is difficult to reliably adhere the pet sheet to such a dust-adhering surface.

  Further, in order to bond the pet sheet to a wall surface or the like, there is a problem that the installation work is not easy because the adhesive surfaces of the pet sheet are easily bonded to each other.

  For customers who have only female dogs who do not take marking action, the adhesiveness of such pet sheets to the wall is unnecessary, and the pet sheet with adhesive tape on unnecessary parts also has a manufacturing cost. There is also a problem that it is excessive and impractical.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems and attach a pet sheet to a predetermined position on the wall surface so as to be suitable for the urination posture of the dog by marking action. It is a liquid absorbent sheet for pets that can be surely deployed and that can be securely attached even if the pet sheet is repeatedly replaced.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a pet formed by forming a plurality of locking holes on the edge of a liquid absorbent sheet for pets, which is formed by integrally superposing a water absorbent material on a waterproof sheet. The liquid-absorbent sheet was used.

  The liquid absorbent sheet for pets of the present invention configured as described above is provided with a plurality of locking holes formed in the edge of the liquid absorbent sheet for pets including at least a waterproof sheet in advance on a wall surface or the like. The seat is unfolded downward by its own weight just by being locked to the hook that can be locked, and tension is also applied in the horizontal direction by using hooks arranged at appropriate intervals in the horizontal direction. Will be deployed reliably. In this state, even if the sheet is twisted or twisted by the movement of the pet, it naturally returns due to its own weight or tension, and the original deployed state is maintained.

  Such a pet liquid-absorbent sheet has the above-described configuration, and for example, a pet-made liquid-absorbing sheet that is a locking hole made of a circular hole or a slit hole can be adopted.

  In addition, as described above, the liquid absorbent sheet for pets, which is locked and suspended by hooks arranged at an appropriate interval in the horizontal direction, can be deployed relatively reliably by its own weight and tension. As a simple means, a clamp that can be fixed at an arbitrary height is provided on the lattice-like wall surface of the pet cage, and a cage wall surface locking device for a pet water-absorbent sheet provided with a hook on the clamp can be provided.

  The clamp can sandwich the grid on the wall surface, and can be arranged by fixing the hook at an appropriate position by selecting the position of the grid to be attached. Thereby, the position of the hook which hangs the hole for latching can be simply arrange | positioned by required height and space | interval.

  Since this invention is a liquid absorbent sheet for pets in which a plurality of locking holes are formed at the edge of the liquid absorbent sheet for pets, which is formed by integrally superposing a water absorbent material on a waterproof sheet, marking Can be attached to the wall to best fit the urine of a behavioral dog, and the pet seat is not twisted at that time, and is easy to fix in a fully deployed state. There is an advantage that the liquid absorbent sheet for pets and the cage wall surface locking device can be easily replaced without contaminating the floor surface or the wall surface.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the liquid absorbent sheet A ₁ for pets of the embodiment includes a rectangular waterproof sheet (including a film-like thickness, the same applies hereinafter) 1 and a water absorbent material 2 integrally. superimposing a plurality of locking holes 3 in the longitudinal edge to edge a pet absorbent sheet a ₁ which are provided in which is formed at intervals.

  The waterproof sheet 1 is made of a thermoplastic resin film that is impermeable to low-viscosity liquids such as water, urine, and blood, such as polyethylene film that is well-known as a waterproof material used in sanitary diapers. Such a waterproof sheet 1 is overlaid with a fiber layer such as cotton or non-woven fabric as the water-absorbing material 2, and a powdery superabsorbent resin 4 is held in a dispersed state on the fiber layer. The liquid-permeable sheet 5 made of a nonwoven fabric or the like is stacked so as to cover the uppermost surface of the substrate, and a pair of edges in such a laminated state are bonded by heat welding or the like, and the other pair of edges a are the lowermost layers. The thermoplastic resin film and the nonwoven fabric of the uppermost layer are heat-welded in a state of being directly overlapped, and a plurality of locking holes 3 are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the edge a.

A typical example of the locking hole 3 is the circular hole shown in FIG. 1, but as shown in FIG. 2, the locking hole 3 'formed of a slit-like hole (a liquid absorbent sheet for pets). A ₁ ′) or a well-known hole such as an elliptical hole, a square hole, a triangular hole, or another polygonal hole may be used.

Such locking holes 3, 3 ′ are formed such that the liquid absorbing sheets A ₁ , A ₁ ′ have a strength capable of supporting the weight of the liquid absorbing state of the pet liquid absorbing sheets A ₁ , A ₁ ′. The hole shape is adjusted and formed. Usually, a preferable result is obtained by forming one each in the corner of the illustrated rectangular pet absorbent sheet so as to form a circular hole having a diameter of about 5 to 10 mm.

The pet liquid-absorbing sheet A ₁ , A ₁ ′ of the embodiment is mainly adapted to the urination posture by marking behavior such as a male dog, but can also be used as a general-purpose pet liquid-absorbing sheet, It can be used as sanitary goods for pets of dogs, cats and other small animals regardless of whether they are male or female.

In order to lock the liquid absorbent sheet for pet A ₁ , A ₁ ′ having the above-described structure to a wall surface or the like, hooks 7 or other protrusions hooked on the locking holes 3 and 3 ′ are attached to the inner wall surface of the house or the like. For example, one or more locking projections may be provided in advance at an appropriate position such as a wall surface.

  Since the operation of hooking or removing the locking holes 3, 3 'with respect to the installed protrusions can be performed with one hand, the attaching / detaching operation of the liquid absorbent sheet for pets according to the embodiment of the present invention is performed. It is very easy to do.

  Moreover, when it is not desired to install the protrusion directly on the inner wall surface of the house, an animal breeding cage or the like in which a locking protrusion is provided in advance can be used. The locking protrusion can be attached to the cage in a detachable manner by the following means.

  That is, in the use state of the liquid absorbent sheet for pets shown in FIG. 3, it is fixed at an arbitrary height with respect to the lattice wall surface (near the lower part) of the pet cage 6 having an arbitrary shape such as a rectangular parallelepiped or an enclosure fence.

  The illustrated clamp B can be inserted into a pair of rectangular plate members 8 each having a length straddling a plurality of vertical members 10 of the lattice, two pairs of holes formed in these plate members, and these holes. It consists of bolts and nuts 9. The bolts and nuts 9 can be fixed by pressing the opposing plate surfaces against the vertical member 10 by narrowing the interval between the two rectangular plate member sets 8.

  Such clamp B is usually made of a metal such as stainless steel, which is preferable in terms of mechanical strength and durability, but is light and soft material such as plastic and wood, and other well-known materials. It can also be formed.

  The clamp B is provided with a hook 7 integrally with the rectangular plate set 8. A typical example of such a hook 7 is one that is fixed to the surface of the plate material with an adhesive, but is provided by bending, cutting out, molding, or assembling a part of the plate material. May be.

The arrangement of the clamp B with respect to the pet cage 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the height so that the lower edge of the pet absorbent sheet A ₁ is bent about 5 to 10 cm along the bottom of the cage as shown in the figure. Both sides from the wall surface to the bottom of the cage can be covered so that there is no urine leakage in the urination posture of the dog dog so that liquid can be absorbed. The cage bottom, it is hygienically preferred that you laid in advance to prepare the liquid-absorbent sheet A ₂ for the bottom separately.

The liquid absorbent sheet A ₂ used for the bottom surface may of course be the same form as the pet liquid absorbent sheet A _1, and other forms of sheets include, for example, cloth and paper. Disposable substitute liquid-absorbent sheets such as these may be used, and these sheets may be held in a state of being spread on a frame-type holder, or may be laid on the floor as they are. .

  Note that the hook may be bonded and fixed to a spring-type paper clip or a laundry clip having a well-known structure without using the cage wall locking tool provided with the hook 7 on the clamp B, or directly to the cage wall surface. Of course, a hook fixed by adhesion or welding can be used.

In this way, if a part of the inner wall surface of the pet cage 6 is covered with a portion necessary for urination such as a dog dog, the pet liquid-absorbing sheet A ₁ can be used using the locking hole 3. The sheet is unfolded downward by its own weight only by being locked to the hook 7, and the sheet is unfolded under tension by the hooks 7 arranged at an appropriate interval in the horizontal direction. In such an unfolded state, unless the locking hole 3 is removed from the hook 7, the sheet naturally returns even if the sheet is twisted or twisted by the movement of the pet, so the original unfolded state is always maintained. . In addition, it is possible to be replaced over a period of many times pet for the liquid-absorbent sheet A ₁ is set to the same state.

  Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 4-7, even when not using a pet cage, a simple installation tool can be provided and the liquid absorbent sheet for pets can be installed upright from the floor surface.

That is, the liquid absorbent sheet installation tool C ₁ shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is composed of a stand component composed of a pair of L-shaped plates 11 and a set of two linear plates that maintain a distance therebetween. 12 is provided with a fixing part such as a planar fastener 13 on the part where these parts are overlapped and fixed in an intersecting manner, and can be assembled like a self-supporting fence if necessary, without using a pet cage it can be disposed hanging the pet absorbent sheet a _1. One end of the L-shaped plate of the stand part is provided with a hook 14 formed by cutting a part of the L-shaped plate into a U shape and bending it.
