Description

The present invention relates to a dog lead used for dog training or the like.

As a conventional dog lead, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-110 (see Patent Document 1), both end portions of the collar body are separated from each other to be in an open state, and a chain insertion ring body is attached to both end portions. After inserting the buffer chain for tightening into the ring body, both ends of the buffer chain are joined, and a part of the buffer chain is located at the opening of the collar body so that a collar having play is formed. In a state where the locked string body is pulled, both ends of the collar body narrow and come into contact with each other, and the dog's collar is momentarily tightened for play,
As in registered utility model No. 3092953 (see Patent Document 2), a pair of rings are sewn so that they cannot be taken at both ends of the leather belt portion, and a lead connecting ring is attached to one end of the chain portion, At the other end, a hook called nascar is attached, and the chain is passed from the direction of the nascar to the ring for connecting the leads. After the nascar is attached to the ring, the ring for connecting the lead and the lead for walking the dog are used. What is made removable is known.

Moreover, as a dog collar incorporating a spring, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-299421 (see Patent Document 3), a collar, a structural material such as a metal or a resin, is provided on the collar of the collar. It is known that the ring shape is not easily deformed by an external force.

Japanese Patent No. 4482929 (see Patent Document 4) discloses a pulling dog in which a stretchable shock-absorbing spring with a stopper is connected to a short lead and a lead-hand is provided at the other end of the stretchable shock-absorbing spring. In the walking lead, the stopper is a stretchable dog stopper that is inserted into an elastic buffer spring, is made of an elastic string such as a rubber string with a cloth cover, and has an expansion limit when extended. The walk lead is listed.

However, in the prior arts of Patent Documents 1 and 2, the chain is inserted into the rings attached to both ends of the collar body made of leather belt, and the lead is connected to the chain, and the lead is pulled. As the collar body narrows, the owner's will is tightened, and the dog is disciplined to prevent it from being pulled unnecessarily.

Moreover, in the prior art of the cited document 3, a structural material such as a spring, metal, or resin is provided in the ring shape of the collar so that the collar is not easily deformed by an external force. However, this is not different from a collar body made of a general leather belt, and is intended to prevent the dog's neck from being squeezed too much, and is not considered in terms of discipline.

In addition, the prior art of the cited document 4 uses a stretchable string and uses a rubber string with a cloth cover that has a stretch limit when stretched, but this is inserted into the stretchable buffer spring. Therefore, the state of the cloth cover is usually not visible from the outside, and the use of discipline is not considered at all.
In the case of a conventional dog reed, if the dog is pulled, the pulled load is transmitted to the dog. In addition, the dog reed using the elastic rubber string has a problem that it stretches indefinitely when pulled, and the rubber string breaks when pulled strongly.

The present invention is a dog lead that can reliably identify how much the dog is in the pulled state when towed, enables the dog to be disciplined according to the dog's pulled state, It is intended to provide dog leads that solve the problem.

That is, a dog lead of the present invention includes a lead body having a lead hook at one end, a stretchable elastic string connected to the other end of the lead body, and a stretchable elastic string with a stretch limit, and a collar The dog lead connected through the rubber cord with the cloth cover to the wrinkle is generated in the cloth cover of the rubber cord with the cloth cover by being pulled by the rubber cord in the normal state. When the cloth cover is extended to the limit of expansion / contraction, an excessive load is not applied to the rubber cord, and wrinkles of the cloth cover are reduced or eliminated.

The dog reed of the present invention has a state in which the cloth cover of the rubber cord with the cloth cover is pulled by the rubber cord in a normal state and wrinkles are generated, and the rubber cord is stretched by towing the dog and the wrinkles of the cloth cover are reduced. Alternatively, a pattern or pattern of the cloth appears on the surface of the cloth cover so that it can be clearly discriminated when it disappears.

In the dog lead according to the present invention, the collar is connected to the rubber cord with the cloth cover via an attachment / detachment fitting, and the collar can be easily attached / detached to / from the dog's neck by opening / closing the attachment / detachment attachment. This is also a feature.

In general, a rubber string has an inherent tensile force, and a load is applied in the range of the tensile force when the elastic cord is not fully stretched. That is, if the dog is pulled within the range of the tensile force, the dog will not be forced.
Nonetheless, the rubber string stretches indefinitely by itself, so that the fabric cover restricts the stretch and prevents cutting. Therefore, as long as the cloth cover is towed within the range where wrinkles remain, it will not cause excessive force on the dog. On the other hand, when the rubber string is fully extended, it is pulled by the cloth cover that does not expand and contract, not the tensile force of the rubber string.

As described above, the dog lead of the present invention has a lead body having a lead hook at one end, and a rubber cord with a cloth cover which has a stretchability connected to the other end of the lead body and has a stretch limit when stretched. And a dog reed connected to the collar through the rubber cord with the cloth cover, and the cloth cover of the rubber cord is normally pulled by the rubber cord and wrinkles are generated to have an appropriate traction force. It shows the tension limit so that the wrinkle of the cloth cover is reduced or disappeared when the elastic band is stretched by pulling the dog, thereby providing a function as a lead for dog training.

Of course, it can be used not only for discipline, but also for walks, etc. Also, it does not impose a burden on the dog even under normal conditions, so it can remain attached to the dog. Therefore, it is multifunctional and very convenient.

Embodiments of a dog reed according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
The dog lead of the present invention shown in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a lead body 11 having a lead hook 12 at one end, and a stretchable cloth cover connected to the other end of the lead body 11. The rubber cord 13 is connected to the collar 14 having elasticity by incorporating a flat spring material 32, for example, through the rubber cord 13 with the cloth cover. The rubber cord with cloth cover 13 can be connected to the lead body 11 or the collar 14 side by sewing or caulking.
The lead main body 11 having a lead hook 12 at one end has a predetermined length and can be attached to and detached from a connecting tool attached to a ring-shaped grip (not shown) or the like. .

The rubber cord 13 with a cloth cover is formed by covering a rubber cord 21 formed of synthetic rubber or the like in a flat sheet shape with a cloth cover 22, and the cloth cover 22 is made of a woven cloth or the like. The weave is a clear stretch limit in the length direction.
Of course, not only the stretch limit due to the weaving method, but also the fabric cover 22 made of a non-stretchable fiber material is covered for a long time, or the stretchable fiber material is blended with a non-stretchable fiber material. So that a clear expansion / contraction limit may occur in the length direction.

In the rubber cord with cloth cover 13 configured as described above, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), regular wrinkles are generated by being pulled by the rubber cord 21 in a normal state. Yes.
When the rubber string 21 is extended by pulling the dog, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the wrinkles of the cloth cover 22 are reduced or eliminated.
In this way, even if the rubber cord 21 is pulled a little, wrinkles are generated and an appropriate traction force is shown. When the rubber cord 21 is fully extended by towing the dog, the wrinkles of the cloth cover 22 are reduced or eliminated. It shows that it has a pulling limit and has a suitable function as a dog's disciplined lead.

Note that the cloth cover 22 of the rubber cord 13 with the cloth cover is normally drawn as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, with the pattern A in a state where the rubber cord 21 is pulled by the rubber cord 21 and wrinkles are generated. As shown in (a) and (b), the cloth cover 22 has a predetermined surface so that it can be clearly distinguished from the pattern B in which the rubber cord 21 is stretched by pulling the dog and the wrinkles of the cloth cover 22 are reduced or eliminated. The pattern can appear. Of course, it may be possible to clearly discriminate before and after the expansion and contraction of the rubber cord 21 by the pattern of the fabric of the fabric cover 2 and the printing process on the fabric cover 22.
In FIGS. 3 (b) and 4 (b), when the rubber strap 21 is in a normal state, a plurality of elliptical patterns a appear to be connected in the length direction with regularity. In a state where the elastic cord 21 is stretched and the wrinkles of the cloth cover 22 are reduced or eliminated, the linear cloth pattern b seems to be repeatedly connected.

The dog reed according to the present invention can be provided with elasticity by laminating a flat spring material 32 on the back side of a surface layer portion 31 made of leather belt or woven fabric, and the dog lead according to the present invention can be provided with elasticity. It is desirable to apply or sew an impact absorbing layer 33 made of a low rebound impact absorbing material or a soft elastic material.
Low-rebound urethane is suitable as the low-rebound shock absorber, and highly foamed urethane is suitable as the soft elastic material. In this way, by incorporating the shock absorbing layer 33 made of a low-rebound shock absorbing material or a soft elastic material through the flat spring material 32 on the back side of the surface layer portion 31, 41 is prevented from being excessively tightened, and even if the dog is pulled too much, the shock absorbing layer 33 prevents the load from being concentrated on the neck 41 (throat portion) of the dog. It will not be difficult.

Therefore, it is desirable that the flat spring material 32 has a predetermined rigidity that does not overtighten the dog's neck 41. As such a material, a plastic material having elasticity, for example, an ionomer resin, engineering plastics, and a metal material such as elastic phosphor bronze can be suitably used.

The collar 14 is connected to the rubber cord 13 with the cloth cover via a detachable fitting 51 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and the collar 14 can be easily attached to the dog's neck by opening and closing the detachable fitting 51. It is designed to be attached and detached quickly.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the detachable metal fitting 51 is attached to one end of the dog collar 14 incorporating the flat spring material 32 between the rubber cord 13 with the cloth cover. Are detachably connected.

The detachable metal fitting 51 is composed of a male body 52 and a female body 53 as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B and FIGS. 6A and 6B. An engagement hole 54 for inserting the end of the dog collar 14 is formed at the base end of the male body 52, and three elastic claws 55 are projected at the tip.
At the proximal end of the female body 52, an engagement hole 54 is formed through which the end of the dog collar 14 is inserted, and a cylindrical portion 56 is formed toward the distal end. Opening windows 57 are formed on both side walls of the cylindrical portion 56. The elastic claw 55 of the male body 52 is elastically deformed and inserted into the cylindrical portion 56, and at the same time, the step 58 of the elastic claw 55 is engaged with the engaging portion provided in the opening window 57 to prevent the elastic claw 55 from coming off. It is like that.

As described above, the dog lead of this embodiment has a lead body 11 having a lead hook 12 at one end, and a cloth having stretchability connected to the other end of the lead body 11 and having a stretch limit when stretched. A rubber lead 13 with a cover, and a dog lead connected to a collar 14 with elasticity by incorporating a flat spring material 32 through the rubber cord 13 with a cloth cover, and the cloth of the rubber cord 13 with a cloth cover The cover 22 is normally pulled by the rubber cord 21 to cause wrinkles, and when the rubber strap 21 is stretched by pulling the dog, the wrinkles of the cloth cover 22 are reduced or eliminated, thereby functioning as a dog lead. It has also been given.

More specifically, when the dog is pulled excessively, the collar 14 with the elasticity built in the flat spring material 32 is pulled, and the collar 14 is tightened to have a small diameter while maintaining an arc shape. At the same time, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the cloth cover 22 of the rubber cord 13 with the cloth cover is normally pulled by the rubber cord 21 and a pattern A in a state where wrinkles are generated is shown in FIG. As shown in (a) and (b), the rubber cord 21 is stretched to form a pattern B in which the wrinkles of the cloth cover 22 are reduced or eliminated.

Therefore, it is possible to make a predetermined pattern appear on the surface of the cloth cover 22 so that it can be clearly determined whether and how much the dog is towing.
A predetermined pattern appears on the surface of the cloth cover 22 by the expansion and contraction of the rubber cord 13 with the cloth cover, so that it is possible to clearly determine whether and how much the dog is towing. Therefore, by giving appropriate guidance to the dog according to the degree of traction, the dog can be given discretion without being pulled unnecessarily. Of course, the dog does not suffer from tight neck compression or breathing difficulties.

Needless to say, the dog reed of the present invention can be used not only for discipline but also for walks and the like.
Moreover, since it does not impose a burden on the dog even in a normal state, it can be kept attached to the dog, so it is multifunctional and very convenient.
