Description

  The present invention relates to a pet breeding space in which pets such as cats and dogs can coexist with people in the room and the interior space can be effectively utilized by using the lower part of the storage.

  In recent years, as is said to be a pet boom, the number of households raising pets has increased, and cats and small dogs have been raised indoors. However, it is difficult to provide a dedicated breeding space when a large living space cannot be obtained as in a housing complex such as an apartment.

  As an example of a method that saves space as much as possible, Patent Document 1 discloses an example in which a storage shelf and a pet breeding space are combined to use an indoor space without waste. In Patent Document 1, a pet breeding space (residential space) is provided at the bottom of the storage shelf as shown in FIG. 8 and is divided into small rooms by three booths such as a rest booth, a meal booth, and a toilet booth. .

Japanese Patent No. 4081388

  As a result, the basic operations of the pet (meal, sleeping, excretion) can be gathered in one compact place, and each booth is made of a synthetic resin box and can be easily removed and washed. On the other hand, since the pet cannot perform another operation once it goes out of the booth, the breeding space substantially extends forward. In addition, when pets work outside the room, they must cross the room and go out of the room. Hair, sebum (dandruff), and tick dung and carcasses associated with this spread widely throughout the room, allowing the family to live together. Causes allergic diseases.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pet breeding space that can effectively use indoor space by using the lower part of a storage shelf and can freely go back and forth between the breeding space and the outdoors. .

  In order to solve the above-mentioned object, the invention of the pet breeding space according to claim 1 is a space provided in at least a part of the lower part of the storage shelf and closed at the rear surface and the side surface, and the surface is resistant to the side surface. A face material excellent in wear resistance and stain resistance is provided.

  The invention of the pet breeding space according to claim 2 is characterized in that the face material according to claim 1 is a melamine plate.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the rear face of the pet breeding space according to claim 1 or 2 is provided with a hollow door comprising an outer frame and a window member fixed to the outer frame so as to be opened and closed. It is characterized by being.

  The invention of a pet breeding space according to claim 4 is characterized in that the window material according to claim 3 is made of a translucent soft resin.

  Since the invention which concerns on Claim 1 is the space which was provided in the downward direction of the storage shelf and the rear surface and the side were closed, since it can be combined with the installation place of a storage shelf, without providing pet breeding space specially, an apartment etc. Even if a large living space cannot be obtained, the indoor space can be used effectively.

  In addition, since the surface of the face material provided on the side surface uses a face material excellent in wear resistance and stain resistance, even if the pet scratches the face material with a nail clipper or the like, the storage shelf is hardly damaged, Dirt from saliva and excreta can be easily wiped off.

  Since the face material of Claim 1 is a melamine plate, the invention which concerns on Claim 2 can provide specifically the face material excellent in abrasion resistance and stain resistance.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the rear surface (specifically, the wall surface) of the pet breeding space according to the first or second aspect is provided with a hollow door comprising an outer frame and a window member fixed to the outer frame so as to be openable and closable. Therefore, the pet can move directly to the outside (entrance, hallway, separate room, etc.) without crossing the room, and the pet's hair, sebum (dandruff), and tick feces and carcasses related to this divergence into the room Therefore, it is possible to keep the room clean and to reduce causes such as the family living with allergic diseases. In addition, a hollow door can be easily provided simply by providing an opening on the wall surface so that the outer frame can be fixed.

  In the invention according to claim 4, since the window material according to claim 3 is made of a translucent soft resin, it is possible to know the sign when the pet approaches the door, and to give a sense of security to both the pet and the owner, The room doesn't become visible from the outside, so privacy is maintained, and the window material is easily deformed so that pets don't get caught or injured when passing through.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the description of the present embodiment.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the pet breeding space A according to the present invention is provided in the lower center of the storage shelf 1. Since the upper surface 5 and the left and right side surfaces 3 and the rear surface 4 are closed with face materials and are open only to the front, they can take care of them from the front side, and they can take care of many children who run around without permission. There is no risk of being excreted in the room without escaping from the side surface 3 and the rear surface 4 such as when rearing. Further, in the present embodiment, since the side portion is the side storage portion 11, it is convenient that the pet supplies can be stored adjacent to the breeding space, and the upper storage portion 12 is large and heavy at the top of the pet breeding space A. Even if it is provided, both ends can be supported by the side storage portion 11 from below, so that it is possible to prevent the upper storage portion 12 from falling into the pet breeding space A so that the shelf is removed when an earthquake or the like occurs.

  On the rear surface 4, a hollow door 2 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the hollow door 2 includes a transparent or translucent window material 21, an upper and lower upper frame 22, a lower frame 23, and an outer frame 24 that houses an open portion of the wall surface C. The window member 21 is rotatably fixed to the outer frame 24 by a hinge mechanism including a rotating shaft 26a provided on the upper frame 22 and a bearing portion 26b provided on the outer frame 24. As shown in FIG. The material 21 is opened and closed so that pets can enter and exit. Accordingly, the storage shelf 1 preferably has no back plate on the rear surface 4 of the pet breeding space A. However, when the back plate is provided, it is necessary to cut the installation part of the door 2.

  Since the door 2 is locked as necessary, it is possible to prevent the pet from opening the window material 21 and escaping. An example of the locking method is shown using FIGS. A locking device knob 25 is provided at the center of the lower frame 23. When the knob 25 is turned sideways from the unlocked state of FIG. 6, a locking projection 27a is pushed out and provided on the outer frame 24 as shown in FIG. Since it is locked by being inserted into the locking recess 27b (the internal structure is omitted), the locking operation can be easily performed with one touch. A magnet 28 is provided at the lower end of the outer frame 24, and a member such as iron (not shown) inserted on the lower side surface of the lower frame 23 is magnetically attracted, and the window member 21 sways when suspended by wind or the like. There is nothing, and when pets go in and out, it can be easily opened and closed because it is as weak as magnetic attraction.

  The window material 21 is preferably made of a transparent or semi-transparent resin so that the sign when the pet approaches the underdoor 2 and is translucent so that the room is not exposed from the outside and the privacy is maintained. More preferably. In addition, a soft resin sheet is preferable so that a pet passing therethrough is not caught or injured. For example, in this embodiment, a polycarbonate resin is used and the material is excellent in strength. The upper frame 22 and the lower frame 23 are preferably made of a metal such as aluminum or a high-strength hard resin such as ABS resin. The outer frame 24 is made of plywood or MDF, and a decorative sheet such as an olefin resin is attached to the surface.

  Since the surface material provided on the side surface 3 of the pet breeding space A uses a surface material that is excellent in wear resistance and contamination resistance on the surface, even if the pet scratches the surface material with a nail clip or the like, the surface material may be damaged. It is difficult to attach and can easily remove dirt from saliva and excrement. In addition, although the side part which is most easily damaged is indispensable, you may use the said face material for the rear surface 4 (wall surface) etc. as needed.

  Specifically, the face material is preferably a melamine plate in terms of wear resistance, and particularly preferably a high-pressure melamine plate. A high-pressure melamine plate is directly attached to the side of the storage shelf, or is attached via a plywood or a calcium plate.

  The abrasion resistance of the high-pressure melamine plate was evaluated according to JIS K5600-5-11 “Mechanical properties of coating film (cleaning resistance)”. A test piece of 100 × 400 mm is placed on a wet wear test apparatus, and the surface of the test piece is rubbed with a wear tool in units of 500 times, and changes in appearance and gloss are measured up to the end of 2000 times. Gloss is measured with a gloss meter, and the change in gloss value before and after the test must be 5 or less.

  Further, the stain resistance of the high-pressure melamine plate was evaluated according to JIS A1531, “Furniture—Testing method of surface resistance against room temperature liquid”. Place gauze or filter paper in the center of a 100 x 100 mm test piece, drop each contamination source / chemicals, leave it for 6 hours, remove the gauze or filter paper, wipe off with water or benzine (oil-based one), and color the surface Visually check for reflections, color residue, spots, discoloration, cracks, lift, and swelling. As a pollution source, soy sauce, coffee, salad oil, oily magic, lipstick, ammonia, acetic acid and the like used in daily life are used.

  It was found that any of the high-pressure melamine plates tested by the abrasion resistance evaluation and the contamination resistance evaluation can be used without any problem, and was optimal as a face material used in a pet breeding space.

By using the lower part of the storage shelf, it is possible to effectively use the indoor space and provide a pet breeding space that can freely and safely go back and forth between the breeding space and the outdoors, which is extremely useful and highly industrially applicable.
