In addition, the peripheral wall 130 has an opening 315 that allows a user to put in and out of the pet storage space 300 by holding a pet or the pet can voluntarily enter and leave the pet storage space 300. Since the upper side of the peripheral wall 130 is open without a ceiling, it is possible for the user to put in and out of the pet accommodation space 300 by holding a pet from this open portion. However, the peripheral wall 130 is configured to have a height at which a pet that is to be accommodated by the circle main body 3 cannot independently enter or exit from the upper open portion.

(1.1.1) First Joint Part Next, a configuration example of the first joint part 40 will be described more specifically with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
The first joint component 40 is a connector that removably connects the first wire and the second wire. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the first joint component 40 includes, for example, a right wire 311 (an example of a first wire) of the front panel 31 and a left wire 371 (a second wire of the right wire panel 37). For example, the front panel 31 and the right side panel 37 are connected to each other. As shown in FIG. 4, the first joint component 40 includes a first component 41 and a second component 42.

5A is a perspective view showing the front side of the first component 41, FIG. 5B is a perspective view showing the back side of the first component 41, FIG. 5C is a plan view, and FIG. d) is a front view, FIG. 5 (e) is a right side view, and FIG. 5 (f) is a rear view.
As shown in FIG. 5, the first component 41 includes a first groove portion 413 formed on the front surface 41a side, a second groove portion 414 formed on the front surface 41a side, and an engagement formed on the front surface 41a side. It has the joint part 415 and the convex part 416 formed in the outer peripheral part by the side of the front surface 41a. The back surface 41b side of the first component 41 is a flat and smooth surface. The first component 41 is made of, for example, a thermosetting resin, and the first groove portion 413, the second groove portion 414, the engaging portion 415, and the convex portion 416 are integrally formed.

The first groove 413 is a groove extending along one direction (for example, the vertical direction). The second groove portion 414 is also a groove portion extending along one direction. The first groove portion 413 and the second groove portion 414 are formed in parallel with each other and adjacent to each other. The distance (ie, depth) d1 from the front surface 41a to the bottom surface of the first groove portion 413 and the width w1 of the front surface 41a of the first groove portion 413 are based on the design values of the diameter of the first wire to be connected. Is a slightly larger value.
Also, the distance (ie, depth) d2 from the front surface 41a to the bottom surface of the second groove portion 414 and the width w2 at the front surface 41a of the second groove portion 414 are also designed for the diameter of the second wire to be connected. The value is slightly larger than the value. When the design value of the diameter of the first wire is the same as the design value of the diameter of the second wire, for example, d1 = d2 and W1 = W2.

  The engaging portion 415 is formed between the first groove portion 413 and the second groove portion 414 in the front surface 41a in plan view. The engaging portion 415 is formed so as not to overlap (that is, not to cover) the first groove portion 413 and the second groove portion 414 in plan view. The engaging portion 415 includes a support portion 415A formed on the front surface 41a side and an engagement piece 415B supported by the support portion 415A. One end of the support portion 415A is fixed to the front surface 41a, and the engagement piece 415B is fixed to the other end of the support portion 415A.

  The shape of the support portion 415A is, for example, a cylindrical shape, and the diameter thereof is the same value as the separation distance between the first groove portion 413 and the second groove portion 414 or a value smaller than this separation distance. . The shape of the engagement piece 415B is a plate shape having a longitudinal direction in one direction (for example, the longitudinal direction). The length in the short direction (for example, the horizontal direction) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the engagement piece 415B has the same value as the diameter of the support portion 415A. Moreover, the convex part 416 is formed in the outer peripheral part (for example, both sides) by the side of the front 41a.

6A is a perspective view showing the front surface 42a side of the second component 42, FIG. 6B is a perspective view showing the back surface 42b side of the second component 42, FIG. 6C is a plan view, and FIG. 6 (d) is a front view, FIG. 6 (e) is a right side view, and FIG. 6 (f) is a rear view.
The second component 42 includes a through hole 423 formed between the front surface 42a and the back surface 42b, a peripheral wall portion 425 formed around an edge portion 424 on the front surface 42a side of the through hole 423, and the edge portion. It has a restricting portion 426 formed on 424 and a concave portion 427 formed on the outer peripheral portion (for example, both side portions) on the back surface 42b side.

  The shape and size of the through hole 423 of the second component 42 in plan view correspond to the shape and size of the engagement portion 415 of the first component 41 in plan view. For example, the shape of the through hole 423 in plan view is substantially the same as the shape of the engagement piece 415B in plan view. Further, the size of the through hole in plan view is slightly larger than the size of the engagement piece 415B in plan view. In a plan view, when the length in the longitudinal direction of the through hole 423 is L1, and the length in the longitudinal direction of the engagement piece 415B is L2 (see FIG. 5), L1> L2. Thereby, the first component 41 and the second component 42 can insert the engaging portion 415 into the through hole 423 in a state where the front surface 41a and the back surface 42b are opposed to each other.

Further, when the distance between the walls facing each other in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the through hole 423 in the plan view in the peripheral wall portion 425 is L3, L3 ≧ L2. Further, L1> L3.
Further, the distance (ie, depth) between the opening end on the front surface 42a side and the opening end on the back surface 42b side of the through hole 423 is d3, and the length (ie, height) from one end to the other end of the support portion 415A. Where d3 <h. Thus, when the engaging portion 415 is inserted into the through hole 423 and the front surface 41a of the first component 41 and the back surface 42b of the second component 42 are brought into contact with each other, the engaging piece 415B becomes the front surface 42a side of the through hole 423. It will be in the state which came out outside from the opening end.

  In the first joint component 40, the second component in a state where the front surface 41 a of the first component 41 and the rear surface 42 b of the second component 42 face each other and the engaging portion 415 is inserted into the through hole 423. 42 can rotate relative to the first component 41. And by this rotation operation, the engaging part 415 reversibly shifts from the state not engaging with the through hole 423 to the state engaging. For example, when the engaging portion 415 is inserted into the through hole 423, the engaging piece 415 </ b> B comes out from the opening end on the front surface 42 a side of the through hole 423, so that the second component 42 can rotate. By this rotation operation, the engagement piece 415B reversibly shifts from a state where it does not engage with the edge portion 424 on the front surface 42a side of the through hole 423 to a state where it engages. Next, this rotation operation will be described more specifically.

  FIGS. 7A to 7E are diagrams schematically illustrating the rotation operation of the second component 42. Specifically, in FIG. 7A, the second component 42 is positioned at one end of the movable range of the rotational operation, and the engagement piece 415B is not engaged with the edge 424 (hereinafter also referred to as an unlocked state). Indicates. FIGS. 7B to 7D show a state in which the second component 42 is rotated halfway in the movable range of the rotation operation, and the engagement piece 415B is engaged with the edge 424 while being unstable. FIG. 7E shows a state in which the second component 42 is rotated to the other end of the movable range of the rotation operation, and the engagement piece 415B is stably engaged with the edge portion 424 (hereinafter also referred to as a locked state). Is shown.

In FIG. 7, the first component 41 is shown in gray to facilitate the distinction between the first component 41 and the second component 42. However, in actual products, the first component 41 is colored in gray. 41 and the second component 42 may be the same color or different colors. There is no restriction | limiting in the color of the 1st component 41 and the 2nd component 42. FIG.
In FIG. 7A, the user of the pet circle 50, for example, holds the first component 41 with the finger of the left hand (or right hand) and puts the first wire rod into the first groove portion 413 of the first component 41. And fit the second wire along the second groove 414. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the wire rod 311 at the right end of the front panel 31 is fitted along the first groove 413 as the first wire rod, and the wire rod 371 at the left end of the right side panel 37 is fitted as the second wire rod. Fit along the second groove 414.

Next, for example, the user grips the second component 42 with the finger of the right hand (or left hand) and makes the back side of the second component 42 face the front side of the first component 41. Then, the engaging portion of the first component 41 is inserted into the through hole 423 of the second component 42, and the back side of the second component 42 is brought into contact with the front side of the first component 41. Thereby, the engagement piece 415 </ b> B of the engagement portion goes out of the through hole 423.
Next, as shown in FIGS. 7B to 7D, the user fixes the second component 42 while fixing the first component 41 so as not to move with the finger of the left hand (or right hand), for example. Rotate clockwise with your right (or left) finger. By this rotation operation, the engagement piece 415B moves onto the edge portion 424 of the through hole 423, and the engagement piece 415B is engaged with the through hole 423 incompletely. When the second component 42 is rotated clockwise from the unlocked state to the end of the movable range, the locked state is obtained as shown in FIG.

  In the unlocked state shown in FIG. 7A, the restricting portions 426 are adjacent to the lower left side and the upper right side of the engagement piece 415B, respectively. If the second part 42 is to be rotated counterclockwise in this unlocked state, the engaging piece 415B comes into contact with the restricting portion 426, so that the second part 42 is further rotated counterclockwise. I can't. In the locked state shown in FIG. 7E, the restricting portions 426 are adjacent to the upper left side and the lower right side of the engagement piece 415B, respectively. If the second component 42 is to be rotated clockwise in this locked state, the engagement piece 415B contacts the restricting portion 426, and the second component 42 cannot be rotated further clockwise. As described above, the movable range of the rotation operation of the second component 42 is restricted to the 90 ° angle range by the restricting portion 426.

Further, the portion other than the outer peripheral portion on the back surface 42b side of the second component 42, which is opposed to the convex portion 416 (see FIG. 5) of the first component 41 by the above rotation operation, is this It is formed in a concave shape so as not to contact the convex portion 416. For this reason, for example, in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the convex portion 416 does not contact the second component 42.
On the other hand, in FIG.7 (d), since the outer peripheral part by the side of the back surface 42b of the 2nd component 42 comes in contact with the convex part 416, and rides on this convex part 416, resistance to rotation operation increases. When the clockwise rotation is further continued, the convex portion 416 of the first component 41 fits into the concave portion 427 of the second component 42, and the locked state shown in FIG. When the first joint component 40 is in the locked state, the first wire rod and the second wire rod are connected.

  When the second component 42 is rotated counterclockwise in the order of FIGS. 7D, 7C, and 7B from the locked state of FIG. 7E, the unlocked state of FIG. It becomes. The second part 42 is separated from the first part 41 in the unlocked state. Then, the first wire rod is removed from the first groove portion 413 of the first component 41, and the second wire rod is removed from the second groove portion 414. Thereby, the connection between the first wire and the second wire is released.

Further, the connecting member fastener 850a and the connecting member fastener 850b are provided on a straight line in a top view.

  The bent portion of the rotating panel connecting member 85a is hooked on the connecting portion 184c of the wire 184 of the second rotating panel 83, which is directly below the connecting member fastener 850a. A bent portion of the rotating panel connecting member 85b is hooked on the connecting portion 184c, which is directly above the connecting member fastener 850b. The distal ends of the bent portions of the rotating panel connecting member 85a and the rotating panel connecting member 85b have an inner diameter longer than the diameter of the wire 184 of the second rotating panel 83 and a gap with the linear portion is shortened. In addition, it is folded back toward the linear shape portion. Thereby, the rotation panel connection member 85 is prevented from being detached from the wire 184.

  The second rotation panel 83 is connected to the first rotation panel 81 by the rotation panel connecting member 85 so as to be rotatable about the connection portion 184c. Further, the connecting member fastener 850a is disposed immediately above the rotating panel connecting member 85a, and the connecting member fastener 850b is disposed immediately below the rotating panel connecting member 85b. As a result, when the second rotating panel 83 attempts to shift downward with respect to the first rotating panel 81, the connecting member fastener 850a contacts the rotating panel connecting member 85a. The downward displacement of the moving panel 83 is restricted. Further, when the second rotation panel 83 tries to shift upward with respect to the first rotation panel 81, the connecting member fastener 850b contacts the rotation panel connecting member 85b. The upward displacement of the panel 83 is restricted. Accordingly, the first rotation panel 81 and the second rotation panel 83 restrict the upward and downward displacement from each other, and the door member 80 is connected to the first rotation panel 81 by the second rotation panel 83. Can be folded close to each other smoothly.

  Here, each structure of the lock member 87 provided in the 2nd rotation panel 83 is demonstrated using FIG. 9A is a plan view of the lock member 87, FIG. 9B is a front view of the lock member 87 viewed from the front side of the door member 80 shown in FIG. 8, and FIG. 9C is a bottom view of the lock member 87. FIG. 9D is a rear view of the lock member 87, and FIG. 9E is a left side view of the lock member 87.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the lock member 87 includes a lock operation member 871 and a lock shaft member 872 fixed to the lock operation member 871. The lock operation member 871 has a lock operation part 871a arranged on the front side and a lock operation part 871b arranged on the pet accommodation space 300 side. The lock operation part 871b is fitted to the lock operation part 871a, and is fixed to the lock operation part 871a by two screws 880 as shown in FIG. 9 (d).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9C, a shaft through which the lock shaft member 872 is inserted at the boundary between the lock operation part 871a and the lock operation part 871b on the upper surface and the bottom surface of the lock operation member 871. Two member insertion holes 871c and two panel wire insertion holes 871d through which the wire 186 (see FIG. 8) of the second rotation panel 83 is inserted are provided. The shaft member insertion hole 871c has a circular shape as a whole by cutting both the lock operation part 871a and the lock operation part 871b into a semicircular shape. The panel wire rod insertion hole 871d is notched only in the lock operation part 871b, and has a semicircular shape as a whole. Since the inner diameter of the panel wire insertion hole 871d is larger than the outer diameter of the wire 186, the lock operation member 871 is attached to the wire 186 so as to be movable.

  As shown in FIG. 9E, a step 890 is provided in the center of the lock operation part 871a. The level difference 890 functions as a hooking portion on which the user hooks a finger when operating the lock member 87. As a result, the lock member 87 is improved in user operability.

  The lock shaft member 872 is formed of a cylindrical rod-shaped wire similar to the wire forming the door member 80. The lock shaft member 872 has a shape in which both short sides have a semicircular shape, one short side is folded back to the other short side, and the other short side is bent stepwise. As shown in FIG. 9E, one short side of the lock shaft member 872 has a hook shape. The lock shaft member 872 is inserted into the shaft member insertion hole 871c of the lock operation member 871. The lock shaft member 872 is sandwiched between the lock operation part 871a and the lock operation part 871b, and is fixed to the lock operation member 871. For this reason, the lock operation member 871 and the lock shaft member 872 can move in conjunction with each other.

Next, the opening / closing operation | movement of the door member 80 is demonstrated using FIG.10 and FIG.11.
FIG. 10 is a front view of the door member 80 in the closed posture in which the opening 315 of the front panel 31 is closed. The second turning panel 83 in the left door panel 80a shown in FIG. 10 is unlocked with respect to the front panel 31, and the second turning panel 83 in the right door panel 80b is attached to the front panel 31. On the other hand, it is locked. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the door member 80 in an open posture with the opening 315 of the front panel 31 open.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the pair of door members 80 is attached to the front panel 31 so as to be openable and closable, and functions as a door that opens or closes the opening 315 through which the pet can enter and exit. To do. That is, when the left door panel 80a or the right door panel 80b is opened, an opening 315 provided in the front panel 31 provided on the front surface of the circle body 3 appears, and both the left door panel 80a and the right door panel 80b are opened. When it is in the closed posture, the opening 315 is closed.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the upper connecting shaft 811 and the lower connecting shaft 812 formed on the wire 181 of the first rotating panel 81 are respectively inserted into the door joint portions 47 attached to the front panel 31. Is done. In addition, the shaft portion 880 a is disposed between the wire 311 of the front panel 31 and the upper rail 312. The shaft portion 880a is disposed so as to contact the pet storage space 300 side of the upper rail 312. More specifically, the upper sliding cap 881 attached to the shaft portion 880a contacts the upper rail 312. The shaft portion 880b is disposed between the wire 311 and the lower rail 313 of the front panel 31. The shaft portion 880b is disposed so as to contact the pet storage space 300 side of the lower rail 313. More specifically, the lower sliding cap 882 attached to the shaft portion 880b contacts the lower rail 313. Accordingly, the first rotation panel 81 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the front panel 31, and the left door panel 80 a and the right door panel 80 b are attached to the front panel 31 so as to be openable and closable.

  The shaft portion 880a of the second rotating panel 83 is guided by the upper rail 312 provided on the front panel 31, and the shaft portion 880b is guided by the lower rail 313 provided on the front panel 31 to move left and right. As a result, the angle formed by the first rotation panel 81 and the second rotation panel 83 connected in a foldable manner (hereinafter may be referred to as “panel rotation angle”) is changed. When the door member 80 is in the closed position, the panel rotation angle is about 180 degrees (see FIG. 10), and when the door member 80 is in the open position, the panel rotation angle is about 10 degrees (see FIG. 11). When the door member 80 is in the open posture, the first rotating panel 81 and the second rotating panel 83 are in a state of protruding from the front panel 31 with the rotating panel connecting member 85 as a vertex.

  Here, the locked state of the second rotating panel 83 will be described with reference to the right door panel 80b shown in FIG. 10, and the unlocked state of the second rotating panel 83 will be described with reference to the left door panel 80a. explain. The second rotating panel 83 is in a locked state or an unlocked state depending on the positional relationship between the lock member 87 and the front panel 31.

  The locked state means a state in which one short side of the hook shape of the lock shaft member 872 is hooked and arranged on the wire 311 that forms the upper end of the opening 315 at the folded portion. That is, as shown in the second rotation panel 83 of the right door panel 80b in FIG. 10, when the second rotation panel 83 is in the locked state, one short side of the lock shaft member 872 is the pet housing space. The front panel 31 is caught from the outside of 300 toward the inside. The other short side of the lock shaft member 872 bent in a step shape is inserted into the lock shaft insertion portion 184d (see FIG. 11) and disposed on the lower rail 313 side to form the lower end of the opening 315. It enters the pet accommodating space 300 side from 311 and is arranged below the wire 311. Thus, the second rotation panel 83 in the locked state is locked to the front panel 31 by one short side and the other short side of the lock shaft member 872, and the opening 315 is maintained in the closed state. To do. Therefore, the lock shaft member 872 is locked to the front panel 31 even when the pet housed in the pet housing space 300 tries to go out and push the second rotating panel 83 in the locked state. Therefore, the second rotation panel 83 is prevented from rotating.

  On the other hand, the unlocked state refers to a state in which one short side of the lock shaft member 872 is not caught on the front panel 31. That is, as shown in the second rotation panel 83 of the left door panel 80a in FIG. 10, when the second rotation panel 83 is in an unlocked state, the folded portion of one short side of the lock shaft member 872 is It is moved above the wire 331. In addition, the other short side of the lock shaft member 872 that has entered the pet housing space 300 side of the wire 311 is also moved to the upper side of the wire 311. Thus, in the second rotating panel 83 in the unlocked state, one short side of the lock shaft member 872 on the upper rail 312 side and the other short end on the lower rail 313 side are separated from the wire 311. Thereby, the second rotation panel 83 can be rotated with respect to the first rotation panel 81.

  For example, the user of the pet circle 50 moves the lock operation member 871 pinched with a finger upward along the wire 186 in order to put the second rotation panel 83 in the locked state into the unlocked state. . Then, the lock shaft member 872 is moved upward in conjunction with the lock operation member 871. Thereby, like the 2nd rotation panel 83 provided in the left door panel 80a shown in FIG. 10, the 2nd rotation panel 83 will be in an unlocked state. The upward movement of the lock operating member 871 is possible up to the convex portion 190 of the wire 187. Further, the downward movement of the lock operation member 871 is possible up to the reference position wire 189 provided over the long side of the wire 186. When the user releases the lock operation member 871 after setting the second rotation panel 83 to the unlocked state, the lock operation member 871 is naturally lowered to the reference position wire 189 by its own weight.

  When the door member 80 is changed from the closed posture shown in FIG. 10 to the open posture shown in FIG. 11 to open the opening 315, the user sets the second rotating panel 83 to the unlocked state, The left door panel 80a is slid to the left side surface of the circle body 3 while the right side of the circle main body 3 is slid while grasping at least one of the lock operation member 871 and the convex portion 190 at the center of the wire 187 and pulling the second rotation panel 83 to the near side The door panel 80b is slid toward the right side of the circle body 3.

  At this time, the upper sliding cap 881 provided on the shaft portion 880 a of the left door panel 80 a slides along the upper rail 312 toward the left side surface of the circle main body 3. Further, the lower sliding cap 882 provided on the shaft portion 880 b of the left door panel 80 a slides along the lower rail 313 toward the left side surface of the circle main body 3. The lower sliding cap 882 is provided with a collar-shaped member, and a part of the collar-shaped member is in contact with the lower rail 313 so as to ride on. As a result, the shaft portion 880a of the wire 188 is stably slid toward the left while being guided by the upper rail 312, and the shaft 880b is slid toward the left stably while being guided by the lower rail 313. . Similarly, the upper sliding cap 881 and the lower sliding cap 882 provided on the shaft portion 880a of the right door panel 80b also slide toward the right side surface of the circle body 3, and the shaft portion 880a and the shaft portion 880b. Will slide to the right.

  The upper sliding cap 881 and the lower sliding cap 882 are formed of a resin having a high self-lubricating property and a small friction coefficient, such as polyacetal, among thermoplastic resins. For this reason, the upper sliding cap 881 can slide smoothly with respect to the upper rail 312. Further, the lower sliding cap 882 can slide smoothly with respect to the lower rail 313. Furthermore, since the tip of the shaft portion 880a of the wire 188 is protected by the upper sliding cap 881 and does not directly contact the upper rail 312, the coating film covering the surfaces of the wire 188 and the upper rail 312 is worn by mutual contact. Can be prevented. Moreover, since the tip of the shaft portion 880b is protected by the lower sliding cap 882 and does not directly contact the lower rail 313, the coating film covering the surface of the wire 311 forming the wire 188 and the lower rail 313 is brought into contact with each other. Abrasion can be prevented.

  When the second rotation panel 83 of the left door panel 80a and the right door panel 80b is folded so as to approach the first rotation panel 81, the panel rotation angle gradually decreases from about 180 degrees, and finally It will be about 10 degrees. Accordingly, the first rotation panel 81 and the second rotation panel 83 are in a state of protruding from the front panel 31 with the rotation panel connecting member 85 as a vertex. In this way, the door member 80 changes from the closed posture to the open posture. The left door panel 80a and the right door panel 80b are attached to the front panel 31 so as to be rotatable. For this reason, the second rotation panel 83 can be rotated until the wire 188 comes into contact with the wire 311 forming the side in the height direction of the opening 315. As a result, the rectangular opening 315 is opened substantially in the full length direction, and can be in a fully open state as shown in FIG.

  When the door member 80 is changed from the open position shown in FIG. 11 to the closed position shown in FIG. 10 to change the opening 315 of the front panel 31 from the open state to the closed state, the user can move the center of the lock operation member 871 and the wire 187. At least one of the convex-shaped portions 190 is gripped, and the wire 188 of the second rotating panel 83 of each of the left door panel 80a and the right door panel 80b is slid toward the center of the opening 315.

  Thereby, each 2nd rotation panel 83 of the left door panel 80a and the right door panel 80b moves away from the 1st rotation panel 81, and the upper side part and lower side part of the left door panel 80a and the right door panel 80b gradually. The upper rail 312 and the lower rail 313 are in a posture. For this reason, the panel rotation angle gradually increases from about 10 degrees and finally becomes about 180. Accordingly, the first rotation panel 81 and the second rotation panel 83 are in a state parallel to the front panel 31, and the door member 80 changes from the open position to the closed position as shown in FIG. To do.

  When the second rotating panel 83 is locked after the door member 80 is closed, the user moves the lock operation member 871 of the lock member 87 upward while the door member 80 is closed. After that, one short side of the lock shaft member 872 is hooked on the wire 311 on the upper rail 312 side. Thereby, the 2nd rotation panel 83 will be in a locked state. The user may move the lock operation member 871 upward to the convex portion 190 of the wire 187 and then move the lock operation member 871 downward until it comes into contact with the reference position wire 189, or the lock operation member 871 may be moved to the reference position by its own weight. It may be lowered to the wire 189. When the lock operation member 871 moves downward until it comes into contact with the reference position wire 189, the other short side of the lock shaft member 872 on the lower rail 313 side is automatically inserted into the lock shaft insertion portion 184d and the opening 315 It arrange | positions below the wire 311 which forms a lower end, and the pet accommodation space 300 side. Thus, the 2nd rotation panel 83 will be in a locked state.

As described above, the pet circle 50 according to the present embodiment includes the door member 80 having a folding door structure. Accordingly, the pet circle 50 can be adapted to various living environments in which the pet circle 50 is used because the opening and closing space on the front side of the door member 80 is small.
In addition, the pet circle 50 has a configuration that can open the opening 315 to almost the entire longitudinal direction and can take a wide opening. For this reason, while cleaning the inside of the circle main body 3 can be facilitated, taking in and out of the object to and from the circle main body 3 can be facilitated.

A part of the vertical groove 170 is provided so as to protrude from the upper surface groove 17 toward the inner wall surface 8a. The longitudinal groove 170 has a shape along the outer periphery of each longitudinal wire (wires 311, 331, 351, 371) of each wire panel forming the peripheral wall 130, and the longitudinal wire into which each longitudinal wire is inserted. Functions as an insertion groove. The vertical grooves 170 are provided at the same intervals as the intervals at which the vertical wires are provided on the left side panel 35. The combined shape of the upper surface groove 17 and the vertical groove 170 is substantially the same shape as the horizontal wire and the vertical wire at some lower ends of the left side panel 35 and the rear panel 33.

  As shown in FIG. 13C, a caster mechanism 700 to which a caster (not shown) for assisting the movement of the pet circle 50 is attached is provided on the bottom surface of the support member 7a. The caster mechanism 700 will be described later. The support member 7a is integrally formed of, for example, a synthetic resin. The support member 7a is formed so that the width on the bottom surface side where the caster mechanism 700 is provided is wider than the width on the upper surface side where the upper surface groove 17 is provided. For this reason, the support member 7 can support the circle main body 3 stably.

  As shown in FIG. 13A and FIG. 13D, the protrusion 70 is formed along the inner wall surface 8a of the support member 7 with the pet housing space 300 of the circle body 3 supported by the support member 7 (see FIG. 1). ) So as to protrude toward the center. The protruding portion 70 has a raised portion 71 that rises upward, that is, toward the peripheral wall 130 inserted in the upper surface groove 17. The raised portion 71 is formed at the end of the protruding portion 70 on the side where the tray 1 described later is taken out from the pet storage space 300. The raised portion 71 has a height that does not prevent the tray 1 from being inserted into and removed from the pet storage space 300 and that prevents the tray 1 from shifting to the outside of the pet storage space 300. The protruding portion 70 and the raised portion 71 are components used for supporting the tray 1 and function as a tray support portion.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (f), the outer wall surface 8b on the left side of the support member 7a is provided with a notch 18 for rotatably holding a buckle 5 described later. A cylindrical rotating shaft 21 is provided in the notch 18 at a position parallel to the upper surface groove 17 and closer to the bottom surface. The notch 18 is formed by notching the inner wall surface 8 a to the same depth as the upper surface groove 17. The notch 18 is formed by dividing the outer wall surface 8b on the left side surface of the support member 7a, and the inner wall surface 8a is exposed at this divided portion. Further, as shown in FIG. 13A, the notch 18 is formed by dividing a part of the upper surface groove 17.

Next, the relationship between the support member 7a and each wire rod panel (front panel 31, rear panel 33, and left side panel 35) that forms the left side surface of the circle body 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 14, for example, when assembling the pet circle 50, the upper surface groove 17 of the support member 7a has a part of the lower side (wire 311) of the front panel 31 and the lower side (wire 351 of the left side panel 35). ) And a part of the lower side (wire rod 331) of the rear panel 33 are inserted. In addition, the vertical wires (the wire 311, the wire 331, and the wire 351) of each panel wire are inserted into each of the longitudinal grooves 170. Although not shown in the figure, the upper surface groove 17 of the support member 7b similarly includes a part of the lower side (wire material 311) of the front panel 31, the lower side (wire material 371) of the right side panel 37, and the rear panel 33. A part of the lower side (the wire 331) is inserted, and the longitudinal wires (the wire 311, the wire 331, and the wire 371) of each wire panel are inserted into each of the longitudinal grooves 170. When assembling the pet circle 50 of the present embodiment, for example, the user inserts the lower end portion of each wire rod panel forming the peripheral wall 130 into the upper surface groove 17. The shape of the upper surface groove 17 and the longitudinal groove 170 combined is substantially the same as the shape of the lower end portion of the wire panel that forms the left and right side surfaces and the rear surface of the peripheral wall 130. For this reason, when assembling the pet circle 50, if the horizontally oriented wire is aligned with the upper surface groove 17, the vertically oriented wire is naturally fitted into the longitudinal groove 170 even if it is not intentionally matched. Thus, the circle body 3 is stably supported by the pair of support members 7.

  The pair of support members 7 are formed in an L shape. Therefore, the left side panel 35 and the right side panel 37 provided in the depth direction of the circle main body 3 support the entire lower side, but the front panel 31 and the rear panel 33 provided in the width direction of the circle main body 3 are the lower side. It is the structure which supports a part of. Thereby, the support member 7 can be used for supporting the circle main bodies 3 of various sizes regardless of the length of the circle main body 3 in the width direction. Thereby, since it is not necessary to manufacture a supporting member for every size of the width direction of the circle main body 3, the manufacturing cost of the circle for pets can be reduced.

  Next, a configuration example of the bottom surface of the support member 7 will be described using the support member 7a as an example with reference to FIG. FIG. 15A is a view showing the bottom surface of the support member 7 a in a state where the casters are attached to the caster mechanism 700. FIG. 15B is an enlarged view of the region α shown in FIG. 15A, and FIG. 15C is an enlarged view of the region β shown in FIG. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, two caster mechanisms 700 are provided on the bottom surface of the support member 7a. Hereinafter, the caster mechanism provided on the front side (region α) of the support member 7a is referred to as “caster mechanism 700a”, and the caster mechanism provided on the back side (region β) of the support member 7a is referred to as “caster mechanism 700b”. The caster mechanism 700a and the caster mechanism 700b are collectively referred to as “caster mechanism 700”. The caster mechanism 700a and the caster mechanism 700b are provided in parallel to each other. Further, the caster mechanism 700a and the caster mechanism 700b are not provided on a straight line. The caster mechanism 700a is provided in the central region of the support member 7a, and the caster mechanism 700b is provided slightly inside (a position closer to the opposite side of the outer wall surface 8b) than the caster mechanism 700a.

  As illustrated in FIG. 15B, the caster mechanism 700 includes a caster 710 and a caster support portion 720. The casters 710 and the caster support portions 720 are made of synthetic resin, for example. The caster 710 includes a wheel member 711 formed in a cylindrical shape, and a caster shaft 713 serving as a rotation shaft when the wheel member 711 rotates with respect to the caster support portion 720. The caster shaft 713 has a columnar shape and is provided at both ends of the wheel member 711. The caster shaft 713 is provided on the caster 710 so as to coincide with the central axis of the wheel member 711.

  The caster support portion 720 has a hollow quadrangular prism shape in which the bottom surface side of the support member 7 is opened. The four sides forming the edge of the upper surface of the caster support part 720 are provided with arc-shaped notches 723, one for each side. Thus, the caster support portion 720 is provided with a total of four arc-shaped notches 723. Hereinafter, the arc-shaped notch 723 provided on the left side of the support member 7a in the caster support portion 720 is referred to as “arc-shaped notch 723a”, and the arc-shaped notch provided on the front side of the support member 7a. 723 is referred to as “arc-shaped notch 723b”, and the caster shaft support portion provided on the right side surface side of the support member 7a is referred to as “arc-shaped notch 723c”, and the arc shape provided on the back side of the support member 7a. The notch 723 is referred to as “arc-shaped notch 723d”. The arc-shaped notches 723a to 723d are collectively referred to as “arc-shaped notches 723”. The arc-shaped notch 723a and the arc-shaped notch 723c are arranged to face each other. Further, the arcuate cutout 723b and the arcuate cutout 723d are arranged to face each other.

  The arc-shaped notch 723 functions as a caster shaft support portion that detachably supports the caster shaft 713. The arc-shaped notch 723 is a U-shaped notch and is formed so that the caster shaft 713 is fitted and supported. The arc-shaped notch 723 is formed such that the opening end on the bottom surface side of the support member 7 is formed in parallel toward the bottom by a predetermined length, and the top surface side of the support member 7 is formed along a part of the outer periphery of the caster shaft 713. It is a notch formed in an arc shape. The width of the open end on the bottom side of the arc-shaped notch 723 is narrower than the diameter of the caster shaft 713. Therefore, when the pet circle 50 is lifted with the caster 710 attached to the caster support portion 720, the caster shaft 713 is prevented from being detached from the arc-shaped notch 723 by the weight of the caster 710, and the caster 710 is prevented from falling. Is done. The caster 710 attached to the caster support portion 720 is supported by the caster support portion 720 in a state where a part of the wheel member 711 slightly protrudes from the caster mechanism 700.

  The caster 710 is attached to the caster support part 720 by fitting the caster shaft 713 into two arcuate notches 723 facing the caster support part 720. For example, like the caster mechanism 700a in the α region shown in FIG. 15, when the caster shaft 713 is fitted into the arc-shaped notch 723a and the arc-shaped notch 723c, the wheel member 711 of the caster 710 is moved to the pet circle 50. Rotate to move in the depth direction. Further, for example, when the caster shaft 713 is fitted into the arc-shaped notch 723b and the arc-shaped notch 723d as in the caster mechanism 700b in the β region, the wheel member 711 of the caster 710 has a width of the pet circle 50. Rotate to move in the direction.

  In FIG. 15, for convenience of explanation, the caster mechanism 700 a and the caster mechanism 700 b are supported by the caster support portion 720 so that the rotation directions of the casters 710 are different. However, actually, in the caster mechanism 700a and the caster mechanism 700b, the caster 710 is supported by the caster support portion 720 so that the rotation directions are the same. Although not shown in FIG. 15, the caster 710 in the α region of the support member 7b and the caster 710 in the β region of the support member 7b are supported by the caster support portion 720 so that the rotation directions are the same. That is, the casters 710 attached to the caster mechanism 700 for the α region and the β region of the support member 7a and the caster mechanism 700 for the α region and the β region of the support member 7b are cast so that the rotation directions are the same. The shaft 713 is fitted into the arcuate notch 723 and supported by the caster support portion 720.

  Thus, the caster mechanism 700 is provided on the bottom surface of the support member 7a and the support member 7b in the pet circle 50 of the present embodiment. Therefore, the user can easily move the pet circle 50 when the pet circle 50 is installed on a substantially flat floor or the like. In the caster mechanism 700, the caster support portion 720 is configured to be able to change the support direction of the caster shaft 713 in the depth direction or the width direction. For this reason, the user can appropriately change the support direction of the caster shaft 713 according to the state of the place where the pet circle 50 is installed. Thereby, the circle for pets 50 can be applied to various installation environments.

(1.4) Buckle Next, the structural example of the buckle 5 is demonstrated using FIG.16 and FIG.17. 16 (a) shows the back surface 5a side of the buckle 5, FIG. 16 (b) shows the front surface 5b side of the buckle 5, and FIG. 16 (c) shows the buckle along line Y5-Y'5 shown in FIG. 16 (a). FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, the buckle 5 has a support portion 51 for supporting the rotation shaft of the buckle on the front surface 5 b side and on one end side in the longitudinal direction. Moreover, the buckle 5 has the latching | locking part 53 for hooking on the wire of the circle main body 3 (not shown in FIG. 16) in the front 5b side and the other end side of a longitudinal direction.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the buckle 5 is attached to the support member 7 b so that the rotary shaft 21 is inserted into the support portion 51 and is rotatable about the rotary shaft 21. The buckle 5 is attached to the support member 7 b at the notch 18. The buckle 5 is rotated about the rotation shaft 21 with respect to the support member 7b, and for example, a hooking portion of the buckle 5 is attached to the wire rod 371 extending in the lateral direction of the right side panel 37 fitted into the upper surface groove 17 of the support member 7b. 53 can be hooked and stopped. Thereby, the right side surface side of the circle body 3 is fixed to the support member 7 b at the notch 18. The notch portion 18 and the buckle 5 function as a main body fixing portion for fixing the circle main body 3 to the support member 7. Although not shown in FIG. 17, the left side surface of the circle body 3 can also be fixed to the support member 7 a using the notch 18 and the buckle 5 in the same manner as the right side surface.

  When the circle body 3 is fixed to the support member 7 with the buckle 5, the outermost portion of the pet circle 50 is not the back surface 5 a of the buckle 5 but the outer wall surface 8 b of the support member 7. That is, when the circle main body 3 is fixed to the support member 7 with the buckle 5, the back surface 5 a of the buckle 5 is positioned on the inner side (inner wall surface 8 a side) than the outer wall surface 8 b of the support member 7. Moreover, it is preferable that each side surface of the 1st joint component 40 and the corner joint component 45 (not shown in FIG. 17) is located inside the outer wall surface 8b.

(1.5) Tray Next, a configuration example of the tray 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19. Specifically, FIG. 18 (a) is a perspective view, FIG. 18 (b) is a plan view, FIG. 18 (c) is a front view, FIG. 18 (d) is a bottom view, and FIG. 18 (e) is a left side view. 18 (f) is a right side view.
As shown in FIG. 18, the tray 1 includes a bottom portion 11 having a rectangular shape (or rounded rectangle) in plan view, a rising portion 13 that rises from an edge of the bottom portion 11, and an outer side from the upper side of the rising portion 13. And a flange 15 provided toward the front. The bottom part 11, the upright part 13, and the collar part 15 are integrally formed, for example with a synthetic resin. The bottom 11 has an upper surface 11a (see FIG. 18B) and a bottom surface 11b (see FIG. 18D) that is the back surface side of the upper surface 11a. A pet toilet, pet tableware, and the like are arranged on the upper surface 11a. That is, the tray 1 functions as a floor portion on the pet circle 50 where pet toilets, pet tableware, and the like are arranged.

  The upright portion 13 is provided without a gap over the entire periphery of the peripheral portion of the bottom portion 11. The upright portion 13 is provided without a gap around the upper surface 11a. As a result, the upright portion 13 allows the pet toilet disposed at a predetermined position on the upper surface 11 a of the tray 1 to be shifted to the outside of the tray 1, or pet food or water spilled from the pet tableware to It can be prevented from spreading outward. Further, the flange 15 is formed so as to be folded back from the upper side of the upright portion 13 of the tray 1 to the side opposite to the upper surface 11a side. The collar portion 15 is formed to project outward from the upright portion 13. The top part of the collar part 15 has a curved surface shape. A gap through which a user can insert a finger is formed between the folded portion of the collar portion 15 and the upright portion 13. For this reason, the collar part 15 functions as a hook part which a user hooks a finger | toe when taking in / out from the tray 1 pet storage space 300 mentioned later. Thereby, taking in and out of the tray 1 becomes easy.

  FIG. 19A shows a pet circle 50 (see FIG. 1) in a state where the tray 1 is supported by a pair of support members 7 in the pet accommodation space 300 between the notch 18 and the raised portion 71. It is sectional drawing cut | disconnected in parallel with the rear surface panel 33 (refer FIG. 2). FIG. 19A shows a cross section of the pet circle 50 viewed from the front panel 31 (see FIG. 2) toward the rear panel 33. In FIG. 19A, the circle main body 3 is not shown for easy understanding. The cross section of the tray shown in FIG. 19A is a cut surface taken along line X1-X′1 shown in FIG. FIG. 19B is an enlarged perspective view of the left side surface of the tray 1 supported by the support member 7a. FIG. 20 is a view for explaining a method for taking the tray 1 into and out of the pet storage space 300. A bidirectional arrow shown in FIG. 20 indicates a direction in which the tray 1 can be taken in and out.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, the tray 1 is supported by the protruding portion 70 of the support member 7 a at one lower end of the short side of the flange 15, and the other lower side of the short side of the flange 15. It is supported by the protrusion 70 of the support member 7b at the end. Although not shown in FIG. 19A, the tray 1 is supported by the protruding portion 70 on the back side of the support member 7a at a part of the lower end portion of one long side of the flange portion 15 continuous with one of the short sides. And it is supported by the protrusion part 70 by the side of the back surface of the supporting member 7b by a part of lower side edge part of the other long side of the collar part 15 following the other of the short side.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (b), the tray 1 is supported so as to be sandwiched between an inner wall surface 8a on the back side of the support member 7a and a raised portion 71 provided on the protrusion 70 on the front side of the support member 7a. It is supported by the member 7a. Although not shown in FIG. 19 (b), the tray 1 is supported by the support member 7b so as to be sandwiched between the inner wall surface 8a on the back side of the support member 7b and the raised portion 71 of the protrusion 70 on the front side of the support member 7b. 7b. The tray 1 accommodated in the pet accommodation space 300 is regulated from being displaced outwardly on the back side of the support member 7 by the inner wall surface 8 a on the back side of the support member 7. Further, in the tray 1 accommodated in the pet accommodation space 300, the outward shift of the front side of the support member 7 is restricted by the raised portion 71 of the support member 7. More specifically, in the flange portion 15 of the tray 1, the movement of the support member 7 in the front direction is restricted by the slope of the raised portion 71 formed by raising the upper surface of the protruding portion 70. As a result, the tray 1 is prevented from shifting outward on the front side of the support member 7 and is stably supported by the pair of support members 7. The raised portion 71 functions as a tray detachment preventing portion that regulates the outward displacement of the tray 1 and prevents the tray 1 from detaching from the support member 7 against the intention of the user.

  In a state where pets are stored in the pet storage space 300, the tray 1 receives a force in the lower direction, that is, in the direction opposite to the direction of climbing the raised portion 71 due to the weight of the tray 1 and the weight of the pet. For this reason, when a pet is stored in the pet storage space 300, the tray 1 cannot ride on the raised portion 71. Therefore, even if the pet moves violently in the pet storage space 300, the tray 1 is shifted to the outside of the pet storage space 300 against the user's intention due to the regulation of the shift of the tray 1 by the weight of the pet and the raised portion 71. Can be prevented.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the tray 1 is accommodated in the pet accommodation space 300 so that the collar portion 15 is supported by the support member 7 so as to be freely put in and out. The tray 1 is put in and out from the lower gap of the front panel 31. When the tray 1 is stored in the pet storage space 300, the bottom surface 11 b of the tray 1 comes into contact with the installation surface of the pet circle 50. When pulling out the tray 1 from the pet storage space 300, the user of the pet circle 50 inserts his / her finger into the collar 15, and pulls out the tray 1 while slightly lifting the bottom 11b so as to ride on the raised portion 71. Further, when the tray 1 is put into the pet storage space 300, the user pushes the tray 1 into the pet storage space 300 while bringing the bottom surface 11 b into contact with the raised portion 71 from the lower gap of the front panel 31. . The tray 1 is usually taken out and put in a state where no pet is stored in the pet storage space 300.

  In the operation of inserting and removing the tray 1, the bottom surface 11 b of the tray 1 rides on the raised portion 71, thereby preventing contact between the bottom surface 11 b of the tray 1 and the installation surface of the pet circle 50. That is, since the protrusion 70 of the support member 7 has the raised portion 71, the bottom surface 11 b of the tray 1 and the installation surface of the pet circle 50 can be naturally formed without the user being conscious of when the tray 1 is put in and out. Is prevented from touching. This prevents the bottom surface 11b of the tray 1 from coming into contact with the installation surface of the pet circle 50 when the tray 1 is put in and out. Further, the contact area between the bottom surface 11 b of the tray 1 and the raised portion 71 is smaller than the contact area between the bottom surface 11 b of the tray 1 and the installation surface of the pet circle 50. Therefore, when the tray 1 is inserted and removed while the bottom surface 11 b is in contact with the raised portion 71, the resistance is reduced and the tray 1 can be smoothly inserted and removed from the pet storage space 300.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, the raised portion 71 is raised to the same extent as the height of the flange portion 15 of the tray 1. For this reason, in the tray 1 in a state where pets are stored in the pet storage space 300, the protruding portion 71 prevents the pet storage space 300 from being displaced outward, and the pets are stored in the pet storage space 300. In the absence, the user can easily put it in and out of the pet storage space 300.

  Further, as described above, the caster 710 attached to the caster mechanism 700 (see FIG. 15) is attached in a state where a part of the caster 710 protrudes from the support member 7. For this reason, even when the caster mechanism 710 is attached to the caster mechanism 700, the tray 1 is located near the installation surface (for example, the floor surface) of the pet circle 50, that is, at a relatively low position in the pet circle 50. Maintained. For this reason, the pet circle 50 can satisfy the user's desire to install a pet toilet or pet tableware in a place as close to the floor or the like as the installation surface of the pet circle 50 as much as possible.

(1.6) Partition part Next, the structural example of the partition part 9 is demonstrated using FIG.21, FIG.22, FIG.23 and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 21, the partition section 9 includes a partition panel 19, a plurality (two in this example) of upper partition joint components 91 (an example of an attachment member), and a plurality (two in this example). ) Lower partition joint part 93 (an example of an attachment member). The partition panel 19 is a wire rod panel similar to each panel forming the peripheral wall 130 (not shown in FIG. 21) of the circle main body 3, and is made of, for example, metal. Each wire has a cylindrical rod shape. The partition panel 19 is detachably attached to the peripheral wall 130 by an upper partition joint component 91 and a lower partition joint component 93, and is used to partition the pet accommodation space 300.

  The partition panel 19 is formed in a flat plate shape by combining three wire members 191 extending in the horizontal direction and fifteen wire members 193 extending in the vertical direction. The partition panel 19 has a rectangular shape. In the partition panel 19, two upper partition joint parts are detachably attached to the first wire 191 (wire 191a) from the top. Hereinafter, the upper partition joint part provided at one end of the wire 191a is referred to as "upper partition joint part 91a", and the upper partition joint part provided at the other end of the wire 191a is referred to as "upper partition joint part 91b". The “upper partition joint component 91a” and the “upper partition joint component 91b” are collectively referred to as “upper partition joint component 91”.

  In addition, two lower partition joint parts are detachably attached to the partition panel 19 on the first wire 191 (wire 191c) from the bottom. Hereinafter, the lower partition joint part provided at one end of the wire 191c is referred to as “lower partition joint part 93a”, and the lower partition joint part provided at the other end of the wire 191c is referred to as “lower partition joint part”. 93b ", and" lower partition joint part 93a "and" lower partition joint part 93b "are collectively referred to as" lower partition joint part 93 ". Note that the upper partition joint part and the lower partition joint part are not attached to the second wire 191 (wire 191b) from the top.

Next, a configuration example of the upper partition joint component 91 will be described with reference to FIG.
22A is a perspective view of the upper partition joint component 91, FIG. 22B is a plan view of the upper partition joint component 91, and FIG. 22C is a bottom view of the upper partition joint component 91. 22 (d) is a front view of the upper partition joint part 91, FIG. 22 (e) is a left side view of the upper partition joint part 91, and FIG. 22 (f) is a right side view of the upper partition joint part 91. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 22B, the upper partition joint component 91 is formed in a three-dimensional T shape. The upper partition joint component 91 is integrally formed of, for example, synthetic resin. The upper partition joint component 91 holds a partition wire rod insertion portion 910 used for inserting the wire rod of the partition panel 19 and a wire rod of the peripheral wall 130 (see FIG. 1) of the circle main body 3 to which the partition portion 9 is attached. And a peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 to be used. The partition wire insertion part 910 protrudes from the central part of the peripheral wall wire insertion part 920. The partition wire insertion part 910 is provided orthogonal to the peripheral wall wire insertion part 920.

  The partition wire insertion portion 910 includes an upper surface groove 911. The upper surface groove 911 is formed over the entire upper surface of the partition wire insertion portion 910. The upper surface groove 911 is a groove used to insert the horizontal wire 191 a forming the partition panel 19, and functions as a horizontal wire insertion portion.

  A side opening end 912 is formed on the right side of the upper surface groove 911, that is, on the side facing the peripheral wall wire insertion part 920. The side opening end 912 is used as an insertion port for the wire 191a when the wire 191a is inserted into the upper surface groove 911. The bottom surface 913 of the upper surface groove 911 is formed in a curved concave shape that is recessed toward the bottom side of the upper partition joint component 91 along the outer peripheral surface of the wire 191a. Further, the upper surface groove 911 is provided with a hole portion 914 that is opened in a square shape from the central region of the bottom surface 913 to the wall surface of the upper surface groove 911. The wall surface on which the hole portion 914 is provided is the one located on the back side of the upper partition joint component 91 among both wall surfaces of the upper surface groove 911.

  The upper surface groove 911 includes a claw portion 915 protruding from the wall surface of the upper surface groove 911 above the hole portion 914. The claw portion 915 protrudes toward the inside of the upper surface groove 911. As shown in FIG. 22 (f), the claw portion 915 has a step surface 916 in which the surface on the bottom surface 913 side is formed in a two-step staircase shape. The step surface 916 is disposed to face a part of the bottom surface 913. The claw portion 915 can press the wire 191 a inserted into the upper surface groove 911 with a step surface 916 in a partial region of the bottom surface 913 facing the step surface 916.

  More specifically, since a hole 914 is formed below the claw portion 915, the upper surface groove 911 is easily elastically deformed in a region where the claw portion 915 is provided. For this reason, the wire 191 a inserted from the side opening end 912 is inserted into the upper surface groove 911 while contacting the step surface 916 and pushing out the claw portion 915 to the back side of the upper partition joint component 91. When the insertion of the wire 191a into the upper surface groove 911 is completed, the claw portion 915 causes the wire 191a inserted into the upper surface groove 911 to the bottom surface 913 of the upper surface groove 911 with the step surface 916 by elastic force to return to the original position. Press down. Accordingly, the claw portion 915 functions as a wire rod detachment preventing portion that prevents the wire rod 191a from coming off the upper surface groove 911 upward.

  The partition wire insertion portion 910 has a protruding portion 953 protruding from the side opening end 912. The upper surface of the protrusion 953 is flush with the bottom surface 913 of the upper surface groove 911. That is, the bottom surface 913 extends in the direction of the side opening end 912 and forms a surface continuous with the protruding portion 953. The upper surface of the protrusion 953 has a shape that follows the outer peripheral surface of the wire 191a.

  The partition wire insertion portion 910 includes a first vertical notch 917a and a second vertical notch 917b provided on both sides of the protruding portion 953. The first vertical notch 917a and the second vertical notch 917b have the same shape. The first longitudinal notch 917 a and the second longitudinal notch 917 b function as a longitudinal wire insertion portion used for inserting the longitudinal wire 193 of the partition panel 19.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (a), the first longitudinal notch 917a and the second longitudinal notch 917b are notched inside the partition wire insertion part 910 in an arc shape along the outer peripheral surface of the wire 193. Is formed. More specifically, the first longitudinal notch 917a and the second longitudinal notch 917b are formed by notching the wall surface on the upper surface groove 911 side of the partition wire insertion portion 910. The upper surface groove 911, the first vertical cutout 917a, and the second vertical cutout 917b are formed in a continuous manner. The end portions of the wall surfaces of the upper surface groove 911 adjacent to the wall surfaces of the first vertical notch 917 a and the second vertical notch 917 b become the side opening ends 912. As shown in FIGS. 22B and 22C, the width of the opening end 957 on the right side surface of the first longitudinal notch 917 a and the second longitudinal notch 917 b is the same as that of the longitudinal wire 193. It is narrower than the outer diameter. Therefore, the first longitudinal notch 917a and the second longitudinal notch 917b can prevent the inserted wire 193 from coming off against the intention of the user.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the upper partition joint component 91a attached to one end of the wire 191a, the wire 193 is inserted into the second longitudinal notch 917b. Further, in the upper partition joint component 91b attached to the other end portion of the wire 191a, the wire 193 is inserted through the first vertical notch 917a. Thus, the upper partition joint component 91 is provided with two longitudinal cutouts (a first longitudinal cutout 917a and a second longitudinal cutout 917b) for inserting the wire 193. Accordingly, the upper partition joint component 91 can be shared at both ends without using the dedicated upper partition joint component at both ends of the wire 191a of the partition panel 19, so that the manufacturing cost of the upper partition joint component can be reduced.

  Returning to FIG. 22, the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 provided in the upper partition joint component 91 has an arch shape folded back in an inverted J shape. The peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 is used to insert the horizontal wire 311 of the front panel 31 or the horizontal wire 331 (see FIG. 2) of the rear panel 33. The top of the peripheral wall wire insertion part 920 is flush with the upper surface of the partition wire insertion part 910. The depth of the arch shape of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 substantially matches the depth of the upper surface groove 911 of the partition wire insertion portion 910. Thus, when the upper partition joint component 91 is attached to the circle body 3, the wire 311 inserted through the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 via the upper partition joint component 91 and the wire 191a inserted through the upper surface groove 911 are substantially the same. It becomes orthogonal at the same height.

  As shown in FIG. 22D, the folded portion of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 has an arc-shaped inner surface 921 along the outer peripheral surface of the wire 311 or the wire 331. Further, the peripheral wall wire rod insertion portion 920 has a gap portion 922 used as an insertion port into which the wire rod is inserted when the wire rod 311 or the wire rod 331 is inserted. The width of the gap portion 922 substantially matches the outer diameter of the wire 311 and the wire 331. Moreover, as shown in FIG.22 (e), the wall surface by the side of the surrounding wall wire insertion part 920 is shorter than the wall surface which has contacted the partition wire insertion part 910. FIG. Thereby, the user of the pet circle 50 can attach and detach the upper partition joint component 91 to the peripheral wall 130 (see FIG. 1) without receiving resistance from the wire 311 or the wire 331.

Next, a configuration example of the lower partition joint part 93 will be described with reference to FIG.
23 (a) is a perspective view of the lower partition joint part 93, FIG. 23 (b) is a plan view of the lower partition joint part 93, and FIG. 23 (c) is a bottom view of the lower partition joint part 93. 23 (d) is a front view of the lower partition joint part 93, FIG. 23 (e) is a left side view of the lower partition joint part 93, and FIG. 23 (f) is a lower partition. It is a right view of the joint component 93.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (b), the lower partition joint part 93 is formed in a three-dimensional T-shape. The lower partition joint component 93 is integrally formed of, for example, synthetic resin. The lower partition joint part 93 holds the partition wire rod insertion portion 930 used to insert the wire rod of the partition panel 19 and the wire rod of the peripheral wall 130 (see FIG. 1) of the circle body 3 to which the partition portion 9 is attached. The peripheral wall wire rod insertion portion 940 used in the above is provided. The partition wire insertion part 930 protrudes from the center of the peripheral wall wire insertion part 940. The partition wire insertion portion 930 is provided orthogonal to the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 940.

  The partition wire insertion portion 930 includes an upper surface groove 931 having an upper surface side as an open end, and a protruding wall portion 933 provided to protrude from a region where the upper surface groove 931 is formed. The upper surface groove 931 is formed on the upper surface of the partition wire insertion portion 930 except for the region where the protruding wall portion 933 is provided. The upper surface groove 931 is a groove used to insert the horizontal wire 191c of the partition panel 19 and functions as a horizontal wire insertion portion.

  A side opening end 932 is formed on the right side of the upper surface groove 931, that is, on the side facing the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 940. The side opening end 932 is used as an insertion port for the wire 191c when the wire 191c is inserted into the upper surface groove 931. As shown in FIG. 23 (f), the side opening end 932 is defined by the upper surface groove 931 and the protruding wall portion 933. The protruding wall portion 933 extends from the end portion of the upper surface groove 931 in the right side surface direction of the lower partition joint part 93 and protrudes in the right side surface direction from the side opening end 932. More specifically, the protruding wall portion 933 has a downward concave shape extending from the upper surface portion and both side surface portions of the region where the upper surface groove 931 is formed. Both sides of the protruding wall portion 933 in the depth direction of the upper surface groove 931 have substantially the same length as the depth of the upper surface groove 931. The protruding wall portion 933 prevents the wire 191c inserted through the upper surface groove 931 from coming off the upper surface groove 931 in the upward direction. For this reason, the protruding wall portion 933 functions as a wire rod detachment preventing portion.

  The bottom surface 934 of the upper surface groove 931 is formed in a curved concave shape that is recessed toward the bottom side of the lower partition joint component 93 along the outer peripheral surface of the wire 191c. In addition, the upper surface groove 931 is provided with a hole 935 that is opened in a square shape from the central region of the bottom surface 934 to the wall surface of the upper surface groove 931. The wall surface provided with the hole 935 is the one located on the back side of the lower partition joint part 93 out of both wall surfaces of the upper surface groove 931.

  The upper surface groove 931 includes a claw portion 936 protruding from the wall surface of the upper surface groove 931 above the hole portion 935. The claw portion 936 protrudes toward the inside of the upper surface groove 931. The nail | claw part 936 has the level | step difference surface 937 in which the surface by the side of the bottom face 934 was formed in the step shape of two steps. The step surface 937 is disposed to face a part of the bottom surface 934. The claw portion 936 can press the wire 191 c inserted into the upper surface groove 931 with a step surface 937 in a partial region of the bottom surface 934 facing the step surface 937.

  More specifically, since a hole 935 is formed below the claw portion 936, the upper surface groove 931 is easily elastically deformed in a region where the claw portion 936 is provided. For this reason, the wire 191c inserted from the side opening end 932 is inserted into the upper surface groove 931 while contacting the step surface 937 and pushing out the claw portion 936 to the back side of the lower partition joint part 93. When the insertion of the wire 191c into the upper surface groove 931 is completed, the claw portion 936 causes the step 937 to place the wire 191c inserted into the upper surface groove 931 on the bottom surface 934 of the upper surface groove 931 by the elastic force to return to the original position. Press down. Thereby, the claw part 936 prevents the wire 191c from coming off the upper surface groove 931 in the upward direction. For this reason, the nail | claw part 936 functions as a wire | line_material removal prevention part with the protrusion wall part 933. FIG. Further, the claw portion 936 prevents the wire 191c from tilting with the side opening end 932 on the bottom surface 934 side as a fulcrum and the tip of the wire 191c jumping out above the upper surface groove 931. For this reason, the nail | claw part 936 also has a function as a wire rod protrusion prevention part.

  The partition wire insertion part 930 is formed in a region of the protruding wall part 933 extending from the upper surface part by cutting out in an arc shape from the right side surface of the partition wire insertion part 930 toward the upper surface groove 931 side. A vertical notch 938a and a second vertical notch 938b are provided. The first vertical notch 938a and the second vertical notch 938b have the same shape. The first vertical cutout 938a and the second vertical cutout 938b function as a vertical wire insertion portion used for inserting the vertical wire 193 of the partition panel 19.

  As shown in FIG. 23A, the first vertical notch 938 a and the second vertical notch 938 b have an arc shape along the outer peripheral surface of the vertical wire 193. As shown in FIGS. 23 (b) and 23 (c), the width of the opening end 967 on the right side surface of the first longitudinal notch 938a and the second longitudinal notch 938b is the outer diameter of the wire 193. It is narrower than. Therefore, the first longitudinal notch 938a and the second longitudinal notch 938b can prevent the inserted wire 193 from coming off against the intention of the user.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the lower partition joint part 93a attached to one end of the wire 191c, the wire 193 is inserted into the second longitudinal notch 938b. In the lower partition joint part 93b attached to the other end of the wire 191c, the wire 193 is inserted into the first vertical notch 938a. Thus, the lower partition joint part 93 is provided with two vertical cutouts (first vertical cutout 938a and second vertical cutout 938b) for inserting the wire 193. Thereby, since the lower partition joint part 93 can be shared by both ends without using the dedicated lower partition joint parts at both ends of the wire 191c of the partition panel 19, respectively, the manufacturing cost of the lower partition joint parts can be reduced. Can be reduced.

  Returning to FIG. 23, the peripheral wall wire rod insertion portion 940 provided in the lower partition joint part 93 has an arch shape folded back in an inverted J shape. The peripheral wall wire insertion portion 940 is used to insert the horizontal wire 311 of the front panel 31 or the horizontal wire 331 (see FIG. 24) of the rear panel 33. The top part of the peripheral wall wire insertion part 940 is flush with the upper surface of the partition wire insertion part 930. The depth of the arch shape of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 940 substantially matches the depth of the upper surface groove 931 of the partition wire insertion portion 930. Thereby, when the lower partition joint part 93 is attached to the circle main body 3, the wire 311 inserted into the peripheral wall wire insertion part 940 via the lower partition joint part 93 and the wire 191c inserted into the upper surface groove 931. Become orthogonal at almost the same height.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (d), the folded portion of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 940 has an arc-shaped inner surface 941 along the outer peripheral surface of the wire 311 or the wire 331. Moreover, the peripheral wall wire rod insertion portion 940 has a gap portion 942 used as an insertion port into which the wire rod is inserted when the wire rod 311 or the wire rod 331 is inserted. The width of the gap portion 942 substantially matches the outer diameter of the wire 311 and the wire 331. Moreover, as shown in FIG.23 (e), the wall surface at the side of the surrounding wall wire insertion part 940 is shorter than the wall surface which has contacted the partition wire insertion part 930. As shown in FIG. Thereby, the user of the pet circle 50 can attach and detach the lower partition joint part 93 to the peripheral wall 130 (see FIG. 1) without receiving resistance from the wire 311 or the wire 331.

Next, the relationship between the partition part 9 and the circle main body 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 24, the partition portion 9 is a member that partitions the pet accommodation space 300 so that the opening 315 of the peripheral wall 130 is divided into left and right parts. The partition panel 19 of the partition part 9 is detachably attached to the peripheral wall 130 of the circle body 3 by an upper partition joint component 91 and a lower partition joint component 93.

  The upper partition joint component 91 a is attached to the lateral wire 311 a that forms the upper end of the opening 315 among the wire 311 that forms the front panel 31. Further, the upper partition joint component 91b is attached to the third horizontal wire 331a from the top among the wires 331 forming the rear panel 33. Further, the lower partition joint part 93 a is attached to the lateral wire 311 b that forms the lower end of the opening 315 in the wire 311. The lower partition joint part 93b is attached to the fourth horizontal wire 331b from the bottom of the wire 331. The wire 311a and the wire 331a are disposed to face each other. Moreover, the wire 311b and the wire 331b are arrange | positioned facing. That is, the wire 311a and the wire 331a have the same distance from the upper end of the peripheral wall 130, and the wire 311b and the wire 331b have the same distance from the lower end of the peripheral wall 130. For this reason, the partition panel 19 having a rectangular shape can be installed in the pet accommodation space 300 in a horizontal state in which one end and the other end of the wire 191a and the wire 191c are at the same height.

Here, the attachment / detachment method of the partition part 9 with respect to the circle main body 3 is demonstrated.
When the user of the pet circle 50 attaches the partition portion 9 to the peripheral wall 130 of the circle main body 3, for example, when the position of the partition panel 19 is generally determined, the partition portion 9 can be removed from the upper open portion of the pet circle 50. Insert into the pet storage space 300. The user arranges the gap portion 942 of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 940 of the lower partition joint part 93a attached to the wire 191c of the partition panel 19 on the wire 311b, and the peripheral wall wire insertion portion of the lower partition joint component 93b. The gap portion 942 of 940 is disposed on the wire 331b. In addition, the gap 922 of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 of the upper partition joint component 91a attached to the wire 191a of the partition panel 19 is disposed on the wire 311a, and the gap portion of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 of the upper partition joint component 91b. 922 is disposed on the wire 331a. When the upper partition joint component 91 and the lower partition joint component 93 are arranged, the user moves the partition portion 9 as it is. As described above, the gap 922 and the gap 942 substantially coincide with the outer diameters of the wire 311 and the wire 331. Therefore, the user can insert the wire 311 and the wire 331 into the gap 922 and the gap 942 without receiving resistance from the circle body 3. Thus, the partition part 9 is easily attached to the peripheral wall 130.

  The upper partition joint component 91a can be attached to an arbitrary position on the wire 311a excluding a portion intersecting with the longitudinal wire 311 forming the front panel 31. Further, the upper partition joint component 91b can be attached to an arbitrary position on the wire 331a excluding a portion intersecting with the longitudinal wire 331 forming the rear panel 33. Furthermore, the lower partition joint part 93a can be attached to an arbitrary position on the wire 311b excluding a portion intersecting with the vertically oriented wire 311. Further, the lower partition joint part 93b can be attached to any position on the wire 331b excluding a portion intersecting with the vertically oriented wire 331. Thus, in the pet circle 50, the degree of freedom of the installation position of the partition portion 9 in the pet accommodation space 300 is improved.

As shown in FIG. 24, when the partition portion 9 is attached to the peripheral wall 130, the partition panel 19 is disposed between the left side panel 35 and the right side panel 37. The partition panel 19 is disposed in the pet accommodation space 300 in parallel with the left side panel 35 and the right side panel 37. In this way, by attaching the upper partition joint component 91 and the lower partition joint component 93 to the circle body 3, the partition portion 9 divides the pet storage space 300 into two spaces, the pet storage space 300a and the pet storage space 300b. Can do. The user arranges pet tableware or the like using one of the two pet storage spaces 300 (for example, the pet storage space 300a) as a pet living space and uses the other (for example, the pet storage space 300b) as a pet toilet space. A toilet can be arranged. Pet tableware and pet toilets are arranged on the upper surface 11a of the tray 1 (not shown in FIG. 24). Since the degree of freedom of the installation position of the partition part 9 in the pet accommodation space 300 is increased, the user adjusts the installation position of the partition part 9 according to the size of the pet bed or pet toilet, It is possible to change the ratio of space and toilet space.

  The movement of the upper partition joint component 91a on the wire 311a is limited to the interval between the adjacent vertical wires 311. The interval between the adjacent vertical wires 311 is slightly longer than the width of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920. For this reason, the shift | offset | difference of the width direction of the front panel 31 of the upper side partition joint component 91a is prevented. Further, the movement of the upper partition joint component 91b on the wire 331a is limited to the interval between the adjacent vertical wires 331. The interval between the adjacent vertical wire members 331 is slightly longer than the width of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920. Thereby, the shift | offset | difference of the width direction of the rear surface panel 33 of the upper partition joint component 91b is prevented. Further, the movement of the lower partition joint part 93b on the wire 331b is limited to the interval between the adjacent vertical wires 331. The interval between adjacent vertical wires 331 is slightly longer than the width of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 940. Thereby, the shift | offset | difference of the width direction of the rear surface panel 33 of the lower partition joint component 93a is prevented.

  In this way, the upper partition joint component 91 and the lower partition joint component 93 are prevented from being displaced, thereby preventing the partition portion 9 attached to the peripheral wall 130 from being displaced. For this reason, even if the pet accommodated in the pet accommodation space 300 puts a weight on the partition panel 19 and the like, it is prevented that the pet is unintentionally shifted from the position where the partition portion 9 is attached. Is done.

  When the user removes the partition part 9 from the peripheral wall 130 of the circle body 3, the user grasps the wire 191 a of the partition panel 19 and lifts the partition part 9 upward. Then, the wire 311a is detached from the gap portion 922 of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 of the upper partition joint component 91a, and the wire 331a is released from the gap portion 922 of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 920 of the upper partition joint component 91b. At substantially the same time, the wire 311b is detached from the gap 942 of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 940 of the lower partition joint part 93a, and the wire 331b is released from the gap 942 of the peripheral wall wire insertion portion 940 of the lower partition joint part 93b. Leaves. In this manner, the partition portion 9 is removed from the peripheral wall 130 and is taken out from the pet accommodating space 300 from the open portion on the upper side of the pet circle 50. As described above, the gap 922 and the gap 942 substantially coincide with the outer diameters of the wire 311 and the wire 331. For this reason, the user can pull up the gap 922 and the gap 942 from the wire 311 and the wire 331 without receiving resistance from the circle body 3. Thus, the partition part 9 can be easily removed from the peripheral wall 130.

  The wire 191 a of the partition panel 19 is pressed in the direction of the bottom surface 913 by the step surface 916 included in the claw portion 915 of the upper partition joint component 91. Further, the wire 191 c of the partition panel 19 is pressed in the direction of the bottom surface 934 by the step surface 937 and the protruding wall portion 933 included in the claw portion 936 of the lower partition joint part 93. For this reason, when the partition part 9 is removed from the surrounding wall 130, the wire 191a is not detached upward from the upper surface groove 911, and the wire 191c is not detached upward from the upper surface groove 931. Therefore, the partition part 9 is removed from the peripheral wall 130 while the upper partition joint part 91 and the lower partition joint part 93 are attached to the partition panel 19 only by lifting upward.

  Thus, the partition part 9 is comprised so that it is not necessary to remove the upper partition joint component 91 and the lower partition joint component 93 from the surrounding wall 130 separately, respectively. For this reason, the user can remove the partition part 9 from the surrounding wall 130 easily in a short time. Further, the upper partition joint component 91 and the lower partition joint component 93 are still attached to the partition panel 19 removed from the peripheral wall 130. For this reason, the user does not need to attach the upper partition joint part 91 and the lower partition joint part 93 to the partition panel 19 every time the partition part 9 is attached to the peripheral wall 130. Thereby, the user can attach the removed partition part 9 to the surrounding wall 130 easily in a short time.

[Usage of this embodiment]
Next, how to use the pet circle 50 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 25A is a diagram showing a first usage mode of the pet circle 50, and FIG. 25B is a diagram in the middle of changing the pet circle 50 from the first usage mode to the second usage mode. FIG. 25C is a diagram showing a second usage mode of the pet circle 50. FIG.

  In the first usage mode of the pet circle 50 shown in FIG. 25A, the door member 80 is in a closed posture, and the opening 315 of the circle main body 3 is closed. The first usage mode of the pet circle 50 is a usage mode in a situation where the pet owner (the user of the pet circle 50) is going out or sleeping, for example, in a situation where the pet owner is away from the pet. For this reason, in the first usage mode, it is necessary that the pet housed in the pet housing space 300 can freely move in the pet housing space 300. Therefore, in the 1st usage mode, the partition part 9 is not attached to the circle main body 3, and the pet accommodation space 300 is not divided | segmented. Accordingly, in the first usage mode, the pet housed in the pet housing space 300 can freely move in the pet housing space 300 and use the pet toilet 500 disposed on the tray 1 or can use the pet tableware. You can eat the food in (not shown). In the first usage mode, the door member 80 is in a locked state. For this reason, the pet accommodated in the pet accommodation space 300 does not go out of the pet accommodation space 300 in a situation where the eyes of the owner do not reach.

  When the user reaches his / her pet's eyes after returning home from the outside or after getting up, the mode of the pet circle 50 is shown in FIG. 25 (a) to the first usage mode shown in FIG. 25 (c). Change to the second usage mode. At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), the door member 80 is unlocked and the left door panel 80a is slid to the left side panel 35 side of the circle body 3, and the right door panel 80b is moved to the right side panel. Slide to 37 side. As a result, the door member 80 is in the open position shown in FIG. 25C through the half-opened position in which the rotation angles of the left door panel 80a and the right door panel 80b are about 90 degrees.

  When the user opens the door member 80, the user moves the pet housed in the pet housing space 300 from the opening 315 to the outside of the pet housing space 300, and then attaches the partition 9 to the circle body 3. Install. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 25C, the pet storage space 300 is divided into the pet storage space 300a and the pet storage space 300b by the partition panel 19. In this example, it is assumed that the pet accommodation space 300a is a living space in which pet tableware and beds are arranged, and the pet accommodation space 300b is a toilet space in which a pet toilet is arranged. In FIGS. 25B and 25C, the pet toilet 500 is not shown. In the toilet space, pet sheets may be laid directly on the tray 1 instead of the pet toilet. As described above, since the raised portion 13 is provided in the tray 1, the excrement excreted on the pet sheet is prevented from spreading outside the tray 1.

  In the second usage mode of the pet circle 50 shown in FIG. 25C, in the situation where the user's eyes reach the pet, for example, a discipline that makes the pet remember to use it separately from the living space and the toilet space. This is an embodiment for performing. For this reason, in the second usage mode, the partition panel 19 partitions the pet living space (pet storage space 300a) and the toilet space (pet storage space 300b).

  The partition panel 19 has a height that is slightly lower than the peripheral wall 130 of the circle body 3. Moreover, the clearance gap between the lower end part of the partition panel 19 and the tray 1 is so narrow that the pet that the pet circle 50 can accommodate cannot pass through. Thereby, the pet cannot go back and forth between the living space and the toilet space by going over or through the partition panel 19. Moreover, in the 2nd usage condition, the door member 80 is an open attitude | position, and the opening part 315 of the circle main body 3 is open | released to the full length direction. Thereby, the pet can freely move inside and outside the pet accommodation space 300 through the opening 315. Therefore, the pet has to go back and forth between the pet accommodation space 300a and the pet accommodation space 300b by bypassing the partition portion 9 through the opening 315 and outside the pet accommodation space 300. Thereby, the user can make a pet remember to use the living space and the toilet space separately.

  Normally, in the second usage mode, the door member 80 is maintained in the open posture shown in FIG. Since the door member 80 has a folding door structure, the space on the near side of the pet circle 50 required when the door member 80 is in the open posture can be reduced. Thereby, even if the open posture of the door member 80 is maintained for a long time, it does not obstruct the movement of the user in the installation area of the pet circle 50. In the second usage mode, the opening 315 is opened to the full length, so that the living space and the toilet space can be easily cleaned, and pet tableware in and out of the living space and the toilet space can be used. It is easy to clean pet toilets and replace pet sheets. Further, the tray 1 can be pulled out from the gap below the circle body 3 to the front side of the pet circle 50. For this reason, when cleaning the tray 1, the tray 1 can be taken out from the pet storage space 300 while the partition 9 is attached to the circle body 3.

[Modification]
In the above embodiment, the case where the wire rod of the wire panel is made of metal has been described. However, in the present invention, the wire is not limited to metal. The wire may be made of resin, for example. Even in such a case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.
Further, the upper sliding cap 881 attached to the shaft portion 880a of the wire 188 of the second rotation panel 83 may be configured to be rotatable with respect to the shaft portion 880a. Further, the lower sliding cap 882 attached to the shaft portion 880b of the wire 188 may be configured to be rotatable with respect to the shaft portion 880b. Accordingly, the upper sliding cap 881 can slide more smoothly with respect to the upper rail 312, and the lower sliding cap 882 can slide more smoothly with respect to the lower rail 313.

  Further, a so-called universal caster may be attached to the support member 7 instead of the caster mechanism 700. In the case of a free caster, the rotation direction of the wheel turns, so that the pet circle 50 can be moved both in the width direction and in the depth direction without changing the support direction of the caster shaft 713.

In the above embodiment, the rotary shaft 21 is attached to the notch portion 18 of the support member 7, and the buckle 5 is rotated around the rotary shaft 21, so that the latching portion 53 of the buckle 5 is moved to the circle main body. The case where the three peripheral walls 130 are hooked and stopped has been described. However, in the present invention, the rotation shaft of the buckle 5 may be on the side of the peripheral wall 130 instead of the support member 7 side.
For example, the support portion 51 of the buckle 5 may support an arbitrary wire extending in the lateral direction among the plurality of wires included in the peripheral wall 130. Then, the buckle 5 may be rotated around the wire rod supported by the support portion 51, and the hook portion 53 may be hooked on the bottom surface side of the support member 7 and stopped. Even in such a case, the buckle 5 can fix the support member 7 and the circle main body 3, and has the same effect as the effect of the above embodiment.
Moreover, although said embodiment demonstrated the case where the door member 80 had a folding door structure, in this invention, the door member 80 is not limited to a folding door structure. The door member 80 may have, for example, a double door structure. In the case of the double door structure, the configuration of the door member 80 is simpler than that of the folding door structure, and the number of components is reduced. For this reason, the manufacturing cost of the pet circle 50 can be further reduced. Further, even when the door member 80 has a double door structure, the opening 315 can be opened to the full length direction, so that the inside of the pet circle 50 can be easily cleaned.
