For example, in the case of a cat, the length of the cylindrical body 2 is preferably about 20 cm to 50 cm so that the cat can be easily caught. Moreover, the diameter of the cylindrical body 2 and the diameter of the opening part 3 are substantially the same, and in the case of a cat, it is formed in a size that a cat can easily enter, and is about 15 to 30 cm.

  On the outer periphery in the vicinity of one opening 3a of the cylindrical body 2, there are formed a storage portion used when folding and storing the pet playground equipment, and a pair of decorative portions 14 shaped like cat ears. . Details of these will be described later.

  On the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 2 in the vicinity of the other opening 3b, a decorative portion 11 formed in the shape of a cat's tail is provided. In the following description, the opening 3a side is referred to as “front” and the opening 3b side is referred to as “rear” as appropriate.

  The decorative portion 11 provided at the rear portion of the tubular body 2 is formed by tearing the end of the belt-like body 10 forming the tubular body 2 into a thread shape. Specifically, when the belt-like body 10 is formed by webbing of a vehicle seat belt as will be described later, the yarn at the end is easily unwound by making several notches in the longitudinal direction from the edge of the belt-like body 10. be able to. And the tail-shaped decoration part 11 is formed by bundling the edge part of the strip | belt-shaped body 10 untwisted by the thread | yarn with a string etc. FIG.

  Note that the end of the band-like body 10 on the opening 3b side is positioned on the outer peripheral side in the vicinity of the rear end of the cylindrical body 2 by winding the band-like body 10 so that the rear band-like body 10 is on the outside. It becomes like this. Therefore, the decorative portion 11 is formed by bending the vicinity of the rear end portion of the belt-like body 10 at an angle of approximately 90 degrees and stitching it with the stitching portion 21 and bundling and raising the vicinity of the end portion of the belt-like body 10 that has been unwound into a thread shape. The cylindrical body 2 is fixed so as to face rearward and upward from the vicinity of the rear end thereof. Thereby, the decoration part 11 can be made to stand like a cat's tail. In this way, the cat can be invited and harassed by shaking the decorative portion 11 that is torn like a thread and has a tail-like appearance.

  FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the opening 3 a of the pet play apparatus 1. As described above, the cylindrical body 2 is formed from the strip-shaped body 10 wound in a spiral shape. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the opposite side edge portions of the strip-shaped body 10 are overlapped, The stitched portions 20 are stitched together. Thereby, it becomes difficult to crush the cylindrical body 2, and it becomes easy to maintain a cylindrical shape. Therefore, when the pet play equipment 1 is placed, the opening 3 of the cylindrical body 2 can be opened, and the cat can easily enter the cylindrical body 2.

  By overlapping the side edge portions of the spirally wound belt-like body 10, steps are formed on the inner and outer surfaces of the tubular body 2 by the side edge portions of the belt-like body. The cat's claws are easily caught by this step, which makes it easier for the cat to catch and pet the pet playground equipment or to enter the pet playground equipment.

  Further, a belt-like body 12 is wound around the outer periphery of the front portion of the pet play equipment 1, that is, the outer periphery in the vicinity of the opening 3 a of the tubular body 2. The side edge portion on the front side of the belt-like body 12 is sewn and fixed to the tubular body 2 at the stitching portion 22. The side edge on the rear side of the belt-like body 12 is not sewn to the tubular body 2, so that it is sandwiched between the belt-like body 12 and the tubular body 2, and on the center side in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like body 12. An opening storage portion 13 is formed.

  As the belt-like body 10 and the belt-like body 12, various materials having a strip-like form such as a woven fabric made of synthetic resin fibers such as polyester and polyamide can be used. For example, the belt-like body 10 and the belt-like body 12 may be formed from a webbing of a vehicle seat belt. The webbing of the vehicle seat belt has hardness and tension suitable for holding the cylindrical body 2 in a cylindrical shape. Moreover, since the webbing of the vehicle seat belt is flexible and easy to handle, the pet play equipment 1 can be folded. Further, since the webbing of the vehicle seat belt has excellent strength and durability, even if it is scratched by a cat's claw or the like, it can sufficiently withstand without being torn.

  Specifically, the belt-like body 10 and the belt-like body 12 using the webbing of an automobile seat belt have tensile strength, elongation rate, and energy absorption rate conforming to the standard of JIS D 4604 and conform to the standard. It has excellent deterioration resistance such as wear resistance, cold resistance and water resistance.

Accordingly, the pet play equipment 1 can be formed by effectively reusing the webbing of the used seat belt that has been disposed of in the past.

  Moreover, the strip | belt-shaped body 10 which forms the cylindrical body 2 may be formed from one continuous strip | belt-shaped material, and may be formed by connecting the strip | belt-shaped material of predetermined length in the longitudinal direction. . For example, the belt-like body 10 having a length of about 4 m may be formed by using two belt-like materials having a length of about 2 m and connecting the vicinity of each end portion by overlapping each other and sewing. The configuration of the strip 10 formed by connecting a plurality of strip-like materials in this manner is particularly suitable when the webbing of the used seat belt is reused.

  The length of the strip-shaped material is not particularly limited. For example, 1.8 to 2.2 m is preferable, and it is desirable that the strip-shaped materials have substantially the same length. By using a strip-shaped material having substantially the same length, the dimensions and design of the pet play equipment 1 can be easily aligned.

  In addition, a scent may be attached to the band 10 or the band 12 of the pet play equipment 1. For example, the band-shaped body 10 or the band-shaped body 12 may be immersed in water or hot water in which a scent component or the like such as matata is leached. Thereby, the scent which cat likes can be given to pet play equipment 1, and a cat can be attracted.
