Description

  The present invention relates to a pet toy that is used for pet plaque removal, pet growth, training, stress dissipation, and the like by pets such as dogs, cats, and hamsters biting and holding them.

  Generally, this kind of pet toy is provided with various pet toys that have been devised to attract pets' interest. For example, a toy with a sound, a toy with a scent, or a toy with a specific shape and movement is known.

  Specifically, when the pet is toyed with a toy and biting or holding it, the base of the pet toy made of, for example, rubber or the like is elastically deformed, and the air inside the base is transferred to the whistle part by the elastic deformation. It discharges from an opening hole, and it is comprised so that a sound may come out from a flute part in this case. In this way, the pet's interest is attracted.

  Further, the base of a pet toy such as rubber is hermetically sealed, and when the pet applies an external force so as to compress the base, the protruding and protruding part provided in the base receives the air pressure and is locally A pet toy (dog toy) configured to pop out is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Such pet toys play with interest of the pet for a short time after being given to the pet, but after a certain period of time, they tend to lose interest and not play. Therefore, it has been desired to develop an effective pet toy that allows a pet to play with interest over a long period of time.

  Here, it is known that when a new element as a bait is added to the pet toy, it is effective for the pet to keep catching the pet's interest while trying to catch the bait added to the toy. As an example, a bait-integrated pet toy provided with a hole and a recess for attaching bait is provided on the outer surface of a flexible main body member (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

However, bait attached to a flexible body member cannot be attached if the size of the attached bait is small, even if the flexible body member has an elastic holding function, and vice versa. However, there was a limit in attaching bait, and it was necessary to select and attach bait that matched the size of the holes and recesses. In addition, the bait attached to the flexible body member is elastically held, so it is easy to pull out, especially because the bait is exposed to the outside of the toy. I was beaten and eaten. This pet-integrated pet toy mainly has a role as a three-dimensional bait holder, and has a problem that the bait is immediately lost and interest is easily lost.

  As another embodiment, the wooden shaft can be provided with a curved shaft portion formed by smoothly varying the outer diameter in the axial direction of the wooden shaft.

  According to this invention, since it has comprised so that both the characteristic which the toy for pets has and the characteristic of the feed supply to a pet can be utilized effectively, pet's interest can be maintained for a long time.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1A is a perspective view showing a hollow rubber ring 10 used as a pet toy 1, FIG. 1B is a plan view showing the hollow rubber ring 10, and FIG. 1C is a front view showing the hollow rubber ring 10. FIG. 1 (D) is a rear view showing the hollow rubber ring 10, FIG. 1 (E) is a left side view showing the hollow rubber ring 10, and FIG. 1 (F) is a right side view showing the hollow rubber ring 10. 2 (A) is a longitudinal sectional view showing the hollow rubber ring 10, FIG. 2 (B) is a transverse sectional view showing the hollow rubber ring 10, and FIG. 2 (C) is a longitudinal sectional view of the hollow rubber ring 10 showing a bait storage state. FIG. 2 (D) is a cross-sectional view of the hollow rubber ring 10 showing a bait storage state, and FIG. 2 (E) is an explanatory view showing a state where the bait outlet 12 of the hollow rubber ring 10 is opened.

  The pet toy 1 is constituted by a single hollow rubber ring 10 formed in a hollow ring shape. The hollow rubber ring 10 is manufactured using natural rubber, which is harmless and safe for pets, as a main raw material. Natural rubber has excellent properties in elasticity and elongation, so even if it is chewed by the pet's sharp pet teeth, it will not be damaged, and it will have sufficient strength even if it is chewed repeatedly, and will withstand long-term use. be able to.

  The hollow rubber ring 10 may be made of natural rubber containing a little reinforcing material in consideration of elasticity and strength after manufacture, or may be 100% natural rubber. Moreover, the thickness of the hollow rubber ring 10 is suitable for a pet, and a thickness of about 3 mm, for example, is sufficient for obtaining a sufficient elastic restoring force.

  Further, the hollow rubber ring 10 is provided with a bait storage portion 11, a bait outlet 12, and a hole wall opening 13.

  The bait storage part 11 is provided with the internal space of the hollow rubber ring 10 in the pet bait storage part 11, and the ring-shaped internal space has an elliptical cross section as shown in FIG. Form a perfect circle. This makes it possible to store various baits 14 having different shapes. Moreover, the inner peripheral surface of the hollow rubber ring 10 is formed smoothly so that the bait 14 stored in the bait storage part 11 can move in the circumferential direction.

  Although the opening amount of the bait outlet 12 varies depending on the size of the hollow rubber ring 10, as an example, approximately half of the outer periphery of the hollow rubber ring 10 is provided in a semicircular slit shape. The semicircular slit-shaped bait outlet 12 communicates with the inner bait storage part 11, and the outer peripheral edge of the bait outlet 12 has a slit-facing edge 12a on one side parallel to the slits and the other. A slit facing edge portion 12b on the side is formed.

  These pair of slit-facing edges 12a and 12b protrude from the ring-shaped outer peripheral surface as an outer peripheral edge with a slight gap therebetween, so that the fingertips for improving aesthetics, improving edge strength, and handling by hand It has a role to help catch. In the figure, an example is shown in which the slit facing edges 12a and 12b are continuously formed on the entire circumference of the hollow rubber ring 10 including the outer peripheral surface other than the bait outlet 12.

  The interval between the semicircular slits of the bait outlet 12 is a few millimeters, and there is no possibility that the bait 14 is exposed to the outside when no external force is applied to the bait outlet 12. On the other hand, when an external force is applied to the bait outlet 12 in the opening direction by a pet or a human hand, the opening between the opposing surfaces of the ring-shaped portions connected to the slit opposing edges 12a and 12b can be greatly elastically deformed. Thereby, taking-out of the food 14 or accommodation of the food 14 is permitted.

  The hole wall opening 13 is divided into four equal parts in the circumferential direction of the hole wall 16 forming the central hole 15 of the hollow rubber ring 10 and penetrates through the hole wall opening 13. The hole wall opening 13 is opened in the shape of a longitudinal groove formed along the hole axis, and communicates with the inner bait storage 11. Therefore, in the state where the food 14 is stored in the food storage part 11, the scent of the food 14 is emitted to the outside from the hole wall opening 13. Further, for the purpose of attaching the hollow rubber ring 10 to another member or the like, even when an external force is applied in the direction of expanding the center hole 15 in order to expand the center hole 15, the four hole wall openings 13 Elastic deformation at the center hole 15 is facilitated.

Next, the case where the hollow rubber ring 10 thus configured is used as the pet toy 1 will be described.
First, the breeder stores the bait 14 in the bait storage part 11 of the hollow rubber ring 10 before using the pet toy 1. As the storing operation of the bait 14 at this time, if the breeder pressurizes the outer peripheral portion of the hollow rubber ring 10 corresponding to the semicircular both ends of the bait outlet 12 so as to grip from both sides, it is shown in FIG. As described above, the central portion of the bait outlet 12 is greatly elastically deformed and opened. Thereby, the bait taking-out port 12 can be easily opened with one hand.

  In addition, with respect to the bait outlet 12 that is slightly opened, the slit facing edge portion 12a on one side and the slit facing edge portion 12b on the other side between the facing surfaces are respectively picked by the fingertips to widen the space between the facing surfaces. Even if pulled in the direction, the bait outlet 12 can be opened largely.

  When the breeder puts the bait 14 from the opening, the bait 14 is stored in the circumferential direction of the bait storage unit 11 as shown in FIGS. 2 (C) and 2 (D). When the breeder stores a predetermined amount of the bait 14 and opens the open state of the bait outlet 12, both slit facing edges 12a and 12b are elastically restored and the bait outlet 12 returns to the original slit-formed state. When the breeder holds the hollow rubber ring 10 in his hand and shakes it lightly, the solid bait 14 moves smoothly in the circumferential direction and is in a uniform storage state.

  Thus, when the hollow rubber ring 10 containing the bait 14 is given to the pet as the pet toy 1, the olfaction of the pet is stimulated by the scent of the bait 14 stored inside the hollow rubber ring 10. Get hooked to catch. The scent of the bait 14 plays the role of the bait outlet 12 and the hole wall opening 13 releasing the scent of the bait 14 as an aromatic mouth. Therefore, while the bait 14 is stored, the olfaction of the pet is always stimulated. Attract. Accordingly, the pet can play with the hollow rubber ring 10 to roll, beat, smell, and keep the pet's interest for a long time.

  When the pet applies an external force to the hollow rubber ring 10 so as to greatly open the bait outlet 12, the bait 14 in the bait storage unit 11 can be taken out and eaten. Each time the pet eats the bait 14 and releases the external force, the bait outlet 12 returns to its original state and returns to its original state.

  In addition, there is an advantage that the pet's plaque removing effect can be obtained at the same time as the pet bites or beats the hollow rubber ring 10. And if the bait 14 is lost, the bait outlet 12 can be expanded manually and the bait can be appropriately replenished.

  In this way, the pet toy 1 is a chewing rubber material produced by the hollow rubber ring 10 and is elastically moved for this purpose. In particular, the opening state of the bait outlet 12 is a way of applying an external force. Depending on the toy characteristics of the pet, which changes so as to open greatly, and normally keeps close to the closed state, and the bait 14 is housed inwardly so that it cannot be seen from the outside of the hollow rubber ring 10. Is a pet toy 1 that effectively utilizes both the characteristics of stimulating the appetite of a pet to try to acquire food from the outside of the hollow rubber ring 10.

3A is a perspective view showing the hollow rubber ring 20 of the second embodiment, and FIG. 3B is a longitudinal sectional view showing the hollow rubber ring 20 of the second embodiment.
The hollow rubber ring 20 of the second embodiment is different from the hollow rubber ring 10 of the first embodiment in that the hole wall opening 13 described in the first embodiment is not provided, and the other structure is the same. Only the differences will be described.

  This hollow rubber ring 20 is configured as a pet toy 1 and the central hole 15 does not have the hole wall opening 13 of the first embodiment, so the periphery of the central hole 15 is kept sealed. For this reason, the bait | hog storage part 11 which is an internal space of the hollow rubber ring 20 improves sealing performance, for example, is suitable when accommodating creamy bait | feed etc.

FIG. 3C is a transverse sectional view showing a hollow rubber ring 30 in which the circumferential opening region in the bait outlet 12 of the third embodiment is changed, and FIG. 3D is a hollow having a plurality of bait outlets 12 of the third embodiment. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a rubber ring 40. FIG.
The hollow rubber ring 30 of the third embodiment is provided with a plurality of openings and positions where the opening angle in the circumferential direction of the bait outlet 12 is narrower than that of the first embodiment as compared with the hollow rubber ring 10 of the first embodiment. However, only the different points will be described.

The bait outlet 12 in FIG. 3 (C) is an example opened in the circumferential direction from the center of the hollow rubber ring 30 at an opening angle of, for example, about 160 degrees (180 degrees in the first embodiment). As the opening angle in the circumferential direction is narrowed, the opening area of the bait outlet 12 becomes narrower.
As a result, the maximum opening area when the bait outlet 12 is elastically deformed is inevitably small, and the bait extraction limit by the pet is increased in proportion to the degree of narrowing the opening angle of the bait outlet 12. For this reason, although depending on the size of the hollow rubber ring 30, when the bait outlet 12 is opened in a slit shape in the circumferential direction, the central portion of the slit is greatly elastically deformed and is semicircular from the point of opening into an O-shape. An opening angle close to is preferred.

  Furthermore, several types of hollow rubber rings 30 with different opening angles of the bait outlet 12 are prepared, and from these several types of hollow rubber rings 30, a hollow rubber ring 30 suitable for the type of pet and the size of the pet is prepared. You may make it select.

  The hollow rubber ring 30 in FIG. 3D is an example in which the bait outlet 12 is divided into two places in the circumferential direction of the hollow rubber ring 30, for example. At this time, since the number of bait outlets is increased, it is easy to take out bait from the hollow rubber ring 30 by the pet. Moreover, since the direction of taking out the bait can be increased, the location of the hollow rubber ring 30 that is bitten by the pet is not biased to one side in the circumferential direction, leading to the extension of the life of the hollow rubber ring 30.

  4A is a plan view showing a hollow rubber ring 40 used as the pet toy 1, FIG. 4B is a front view showing the hollow rubber ring 40, and FIG. 4C is a back view showing the hollow rubber ring 40. 4D is a left side view showing the hollow rubber ring 40, and FIG. 4E is a right side view showing the hollow rubber ring 40. FIG.

  The hollow rubber ring 40 of the fourth embodiment is different from the hollow rubber ring 10 of the first embodiment in that the slit facing edges 12a and 12b are formed only on the outer peripheral edge of the bait outlet 12, Since the configuration is the same, only the differences will be described.

  When the slit facing edges 12a and 12b are formed only on the outer peripheral edge of the bait outlet 12, the opening portion of the bait outlet 12 in the circumferential direction is specified and clarified.

  Another example in which the slit facing edges 12a and 12b are different will be described below. FIG. 5A shows an example in which the slit facing edges 12a and 12b are formed when the opening angle of the bait outlet 12 described in FIG. 3C is 160 degrees.

  Similarly, as another example in which the slit facing edges 12a and 12b are different, the slit facing edges 12a and 12b are formed when the opening position of the bait outlet 12 described in FIG. 3D is divided into two locations. An example is shown in FIG.

  Thus, even when the opening form of the bait outlet 12 is different, if the slit facing edges 12a and 12b are applied only to the bait outlet 12, the opening portion that is the bait outlet 12 in the circumferential direction is further specified. To be clear. Along with this, the beauty of the hollow rubber ring 40 is improved, and the commercial value of the pet toy 1 is increased.

FIG. 5C is a plan view showing the hollow rubber ring 50 of the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 5D is a bottom view showing the hollow rubber ring 50 of the fifth embodiment.
The hollow rubber ring 50 according to the fifth embodiment is different from the hollow rubber ring 10 according to the first embodiment in that a pattern or a protrusion is provided on the outer surface, and the others are the same. Therefore, only the different points will be described. To do.

The hollow rubber ring 50 of Example 5 is formed by projecting patterns, characters, protrusions, and the like suitable for the pet toy 1 on the outer surface of the hollow rubber ring 50.
FIG. 5C shows an example of a pattern, which forms a hollow rubber ring 50 with a pattern in which a pattern 51 shaped like a small bone is annularly arranged on the upper surface of the hollow rubber ring 50. When the pattern 51 is provided on the outer surface of the hollow rubber ring 50, recognition as a pet toy and aesthetics are enhanced, and the commercial value of the hollow rubber ring 50 can be increased.

  FIG. 5D shows an example of a protrusion, which forms a hollow rubber ring 50 with protrusions in which protrusions 52 with rounded tips are dispersedly arranged on the bottom surface of the hollow rubber ring 50. When the hollow rubber ring 50 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 52, an anti-slip action is obtained, and when the pet tries to bite or pinch the hollow rubber ring 50, the protrusion 52 hits the pet's gum, Can promote plaque removal.

  In the hollow rubber ring 50, the pattern 51, the protrusion 52, etc. may be applied to a part of the outer surface or the entire outer surface, or the same pattern 51, the protrusion 52, etc. may be applied to the entire outer surface.

  Further, FIG. 6 shows a specific external view of the hollow rubber ring 50 in the fifth embodiment. 6A is a plan view showing an example in which a pattern is provided on the upper surface of a hollow rubber ring 50 used as the pet toy 1, and FIG. 6B is an example in which a protrusion is provided on the bottom surface of the hollow rubber ring 50. 6 (C) is a front view showing the hollow rubber ring 50, FIG. 6 (D) is a rear view showing the hollow rubber ring 50, and FIG. 6 (E) is a left side view showing the hollow rubber ring 50. FIG. 6F is a right side view showing the hollow rubber ring 50.

  7 and 8 show a configuration example of the pet toy 1 according to the sixth embodiment. 7A is a longitudinal sectional view showing the hollow rubber ring 60, FIG. 7B is a transverse sectional view showing the hollow rubber ring 60, FIG. 7C is a front view showing the wooden shaft 61, and FIG. ) Is a side view showing the wooden shaft 61, FIG. 8A is a front view showing a corresponding state before the hollow rubber ring 60 and the wooden shaft 61 are inserted, and FIG. It is a front view which shows the state which penetrated.

  Further, FIG. 9 shows a specific external view of the pet toy 1 according to the sixth embodiment. 9A is a plan view of the pet toy 1 according to the sixth embodiment, FIG. 9B is a bottom view of the pet toy 1 according to the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 9C is a pet use according to the sixth embodiment. FIG. 9D is a rear view of the pet toy 1 according to the sixth embodiment, FIG. 9E is a left side view of the pet toy 1 according to the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 10 is a right side view of the pet toy 1 of Example 6. FIG.

The pet toy 1 according to the sixth embodiment is configured by combining a hollow rubber ring 60 and a wooden shaft 61.
The hollow rubber ring 60 of the sixth embodiment has the same configuration as the bait storage portion 11, the bait outlet 12, the hole wall opening 13, the center hole 15, and the hole wall 16 in the hollow rubber ring 10 described in the first embodiment. Elements are provided. Moreover, the same component as the pattern 51 and the protrusion 52 in the hollow rubber ring 50 described in the fifth embodiment is provided.
Therefore, the hollow rubber ring 60 of Example 6 is obtained by adding the components of Example 5 to the components of Example 1. For this reason, description of the same configuration is omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 7 (C) and 7 (D), the wood shaft 61 is made of hard wood such as teak material and has a hollow rubber ring 60 fitted in the middle in the axial direction. A fitting shaft portion 62 is formed for mating and fixing. As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the fitting shaft portion 62 is the smallest diameter shaft portion on the wood shaft 61 and has substantially the same diameter as the center hole 15 of the hollow rubber ring 60. Is formed.
When the wood shaft 61 is inserted into the center hole 15 of the hollow rubber ring 60, the fitting shaft portion 62 located at the intermediate portion of the wood shaft 61 is fitted in correspondence with the center hole 15.

  Further, a symmetrical central curved surface shaft portion 63 is provided in the vicinity of both sides in the axial direction across the fitting shaft portion 62. The central curved shaft portion 63 is formed with a short curved surface by smoothly varying the outer diameter dimension in the axial direction of the wood shaft 61, and has a larger diameter than the fitting shaft portion 62 so that the fitting shaft portion 62 is centered. It also has the role of positioning so that it is not easily displaced or removed from the hole 15 in the axial direction.

  Further, symmetrically curved end curved shaft portions 64 that are long in the axial direction are provided from the central curved shaft portions 63 on both sides of the central portion of the wooden shaft 61 to the outer end side of the wooden shaft 61. The end curved surface shaft portion 64 is formed to be relatively long in the axial direction of the wood shaft 61, and has a curved surface formed by smoothly varying the outer diameter of the shaft portion. Accordingly, the end curved surface shaft portion 64 is formed as a long curved surface portion on both sides of the wooden shaft 61. For this reason, the wooden shaft 61 does not have a corner portion, and has a toy function as a pet scooping portion.

  The wooden shaft 61 used here is a hard, durable, natural wood that is unpainted and does not cause harm to pets and is chewy. For example, natural cocoons, cocoons, teaks, pears, etc. that have the property that they are hard to beat and do not disappear because they are hard even when struck by pets.

Next, the usage state of the pet toy 1 configured as described above will be described.
When both the hollow rubber ring 60 and the wooden shaft 61 constituting the pet toy 1 are integrated, the breeder grasps the wooden shaft 61 and screwes the end of the wooden shaft 61 into the center hole 15. When pushed in, the center hole 15 of the hollow rubber ring 60 is expanded and the wood shaft 61 can be inserted.

  At this time, since the central hole 15 is partially opened by the hole wall opening 13, elastic deformation is facilitated. Further, since the outer peripheral surface of the wooden shaft 61 is formed with a curved surface and is smooth, the wooden shaft 61 can be smoothly inserted into and removed from the center hole 15.

  Then, when the fitting shaft portion 62 at the intermediate portion in the axial direction of the wood shaft 61 corresponds to the center hole 15, the center hole 15 is shrunk so as to return to the original hole diameter and is elastically restored, and the hollow rubber ring 60 is restored to the wood shaft 61. The fitting shaft portion 62 is positioned and fixed.

  After completion of the insertion of the wooden shaft 61, the breeder stores the food 14 in the food storage portion 11 of the hollow rubber ring 60 integrated with the wooden shaft 61. Then, the pet toy 1 is given to the pet after the bait 14 has been stored. Then, the pet is stimulated by the scent of the food 14 stored in the hollow rubber ring 60, and is absorbed in trying to catch the food 14 such as holding the toy 1 for pets.

  At this time, since the hollow rubber ring 60 having elasticity and the hard wood shaft 61 are combined with different materials, the hollow rubber ring 60 acts as a cushion and the hollow rubber ring 60 rolls away. There is no movement.

  In addition, since the wooden shaft 61 is hard wood, it does not easily break even if a pet bites it, has a biting response, and becomes a durable toy. For this reason, it is used as a toy with a long life. Further, the wooden shaft 61 is inserted into and integrated with the hollow rubber ring 60, and the hollow rubber ring 60 is positioned at the center of the wooden shaft 61, so that the pet can easily press the wooden shaft 61 with both hands.

  Since the pet toy 1 here is a hollow rubber ring 60 with a shaft, the direction of elastic deformation of the hollow rubber ring 60 is specified by the wooden shaft 61. For this reason, for pets, it is the structure which is easy to give external force to the toy 1 for pets, and a pet becomes easy to take out food from the hollow rubber ring 60. FIG. Further, since the hollow rubber ring 60 is fixed at the center of the wooden shaft 61, even if an external force is applied in the axial direction by the pet, the hollow rubber ring 60 is prevented from coming off by the central curved shaft portion 63 on the left and right sides and is not easily removed. And the wooden shaft 61 are stably maintained.

  Furthermore, since the outer surface of the wooden shaft 61 has the smooth central curved surface shaft portion 63 and the end curved surface shaft portion 64, the beauty can be enhanced and the commercial value of the pet toy 1 can be increased. Moreover, since the outer surface of the wooden shaft 61 is curved in both the circumferential direction and the axial direction except for the fitting shaft portion 62, it is a safe toy suitable for pets without corner portions.

  10A is a front view showing the wooden shaft 71 of the seventh embodiment, FIG. 10B is a plan view of the pet toy 1 of the seventh embodiment, and FIG. 10C is a pet toy 1 of the seventh embodiment. 10D is a front view of the pet toy 1 according to the seventh embodiment, FIG. 10E is a rear view of the pet toy 1 according to the seventh embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 10G is a right side view of the pet toy 1 according to the seventh embodiment.

  The pet toy 1 of the seventh embodiment is similar to the composite configuration in which the hollow rubber ring 60 described in the sixth embodiment is combined with the wooden shaft 61 and integrated in the seventh embodiment. It is a composite configuration that combines and integrate.

  Among these, the hollow rubber ring 60 of Example 7 has the same configuration as the hollow rubber ring 60 of Example 6. Further, the wood shaft 71 of the seventh embodiment is the same as the wood shaft 71 of the sixth embodiment except that the shaft length is shorter than that of the wood shaft 61 of the sixth embodiment. Therefore, only different points will be described.

  That is, it has a fitting shaft portion 72 in the middle portion in the axial direction of the wooden shaft 71, a central curved surface shaft portion 73 in the vicinity of both sides in the axial direction, and a substantially spherical end curved surface on both end sides in the axial direction. A shaft portion 74 is provided. The wooden shaft 71 of the seventh embodiment can be used in the same manner as the wooden shaft 61 of the sixth embodiment except for the length. Therefore, substantially the same effect as that of the sixth embodiment can be obtained.

  When the hollow rubber ring 60 and the wooden shaft 71 of the seventh embodiment are combined, the wooden shaft 71 is short, and the curved surfaces at both ends of the wooden shaft 71 are spherical, so that the overall curved surface angle is large. It can be used as a pet toy 1 that stands out and stands out.

  11A is a front view showing the wooden shaft 81 of the eighth embodiment, FIG. 11B is a plan view of the pet toy 1 of the eighth embodiment, and FIG. 11C is a pet toy 1 of the eighth embodiment. 11D is a front view of the pet toy 1 according to the eighth embodiment, FIG. 11E is a rear view of the pet toy 1 according to the eighth embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 11G is a right side view of the pet toy 1 according to the eighth embodiment.

  The pet toy 1 according to the eighth embodiment is similar to the composite structure in which the hollow rubber ring 60 described in the sixth embodiment is combined with the wooden shaft 61, and also in the eighth embodiment, the hollow rubber ring 60 includes the wooden shaft 81. It is a composite configuration that combines and integrate.

  Among these, the hollow rubber ring 60 of Example 8 has the same configuration as the hollow rubber ring 60 of Example 6. Further, the wooden shaft 81 of the eighth embodiment is different from the wooden shaft 61 of the sixth embodiment in that it is an oval wooden shaft 81, and the others are the same. Therefore, only different points will be described.

  That is, a fitting shaft portion 82 is formed in the egg-shaped intermediate portion so as to be fitted in correspondence with the center hole 15 of the hollow rubber ring 60, and eggs are formed at both axial end portions sandwiching the fitting shaft portion 82. The curved surface ends 83 and 84 are formed.

  Since this wooden shaft 81 is egg-shaped, it stands out when it is rounded, and can be more compact and enhance its beauty. Further, the usage is the same as in the sixth embodiment. Therefore, substantially the same function and effect as in the sixth embodiment can be obtained, and the egg-shaped curved end portions 83 and 84 at both ends of the wooden shaft 81 protrude smaller than the upper and lower surfaces of the hollow rubber ring 60, resulting in a compact configuration.

  When the pet rolls due to an external force applied to the toy for pet 1, an unpredictable specific movement by the hollow rubber ring 60 that is softly elastically deformed and the hard egg-shaped wooden shaft 81 is caused. And it is easy to make pets interested.

  12A is a front view showing the wooden shaft 91 of the ninth embodiment, FIG. 12B is a plan view of the pet toy 1 of the ninth embodiment, and FIG. 12C is a pet toy 1 of the ninth embodiment. 12 (D) is a front view of the pet toy 1 according to the ninth embodiment, FIG. 12 (E) is a rear view of the pet toy 1 according to the ninth embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 12G is a right side view of the pet toy 1 according to the ninth embodiment.

  The pet toy 1 according to the ninth embodiment is similar to the composite configuration in which the hollow rubber ring 60 described in the sixth embodiment is combined with the wooden shaft 61 and integrated with the hollow rubber ring 60 in the ninth embodiment. It is a composite configuration that combines and integrate.

  Among these, the hollow rubber ring 60 of Example 9 has the same configuration as the hollow rubber ring 60 of Example 6. Further, the wood shaft 91 of the ninth embodiment is different from the wood shaft 61 of the sixth embodiment in that it is a C-shaped wood shaft 91. Therefore, only different points will be described.

  That is, the C-shaped wooden shaft 91 has an open portion 92 in which a part of the annular direction is notched into a C-shape, and the open portion 92 becomes an open portion for attaching and detaching the hollow rubber ring 60. Further, the wooden shaft 91 has a solid shaft portion 93 with a perfect cross section over the entire length, and the hollow rubber ring 60 is mounted on the shaft portion 93 through the center hole 15 of the hollow rubber ring 60. Therefore, a compact combined state in which the wooden shaft 91 and the hollow rubber ring 60 are connected in a chain shape is obtained.

  If the pet toy 1 configured in this way is used, the wooden shaft 91 and the hollow rubber ring 60 are combined with the same approximate shape. Roll.

  As described above, when the hollow rubber ring 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 made of natural rubber, which is rich in elastic deformation and excellent in durability, is used for the pet toy 1, the pet becomes a hollow ring. Interest in the elastic properties of the shape. Furthermore, the hollow rubber ring is housed inside so that the food is not easily visible from the outside, allowing the pet to try to remove the food. For this reason, the characteristic which stimulates the appetite of a pet is given. Furthermore, if this hollow rubber ring is configured by adding wooden shafts 61, 71, 81, 91 as separate members, the pet will also be interested in the wooden shafts of different hardness, differing in chewing response and dissimilar materials of two members The unique movement by can increase interest in pets.

  In the correspondence between the configuration of the present invention and the configuration of the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and can be applied based on the technical idea described in the claims. .

  For example, in the above-described embodiments, several examples of combinations using two members of a hollow rubber ring and a wooden shaft have been exemplified. However, various configuration examples can be obtained as long as the wooden shaft is passed through the center hole. In addition, a plurality of hollow rubber rings may be attached to one wooden shaft.
