Description

The present invention is a dog walking rain gear.

Currently, there is a type of rain gear that can be put on a dog called kappa.

When walking a dog kept as a pet, it is difficult to take measures against rainy weather. Unlike people, dogs have limited rain gear, and they are forced to work hard during, before, and after walking in rainy weather. If the rain gear is not used, the dog will get soaked, which poses a problem in terms of animal welfare.

As rain gear for dogs currently in circulation, there is a type that can be put on a dog called a kappa. It is difficult to put on and take off this type of dog because not only dogs are gentle, but there are also many violent dogs. It interferes with normal dog behavior such as scratching the back, wagging the tail, and defecation. Water splashes when you shake your body. The kappa's front legs and chest are stained with mud. Manure easily adheres to the kappa. The dog's vision, especially laterally, is obstructed and the field of vision is narrowed. Since it is clothing, it needs to be kept clean, and requires a lot of effort to care for it. There are various disadvantages such as difficulty in selecting the size and shape of the kappa.

Umbrellas are one of the main rain gear for humans, but since the part corresponding to the dog's hand is the front leg, the dog cannot put it on itself. However, if the dog can point it, it will be possible to eliminate or reduce the disadvantages that occur with the kappa, and as a whole, it will be possible to reduce the burden on walks in rainy weather and before and after walks.

Taking these into account, we have developed an umbrella that even dogs can put up, as a countermeasure against rain while walking the dog.

It is necessary to devise an umbrella that can be used by dogs, reduces the burden on people walking as much as possible, and is easy for both dogs and people to walk. Normally, a person who walks the dog grips the leash that connects the dog, and the umbrella can be put up by gripping the leash as usual. The person taking the walk may also hold an umbrella, and it is assumed that he or she may carry baggage such as a poop bag or a shovel. For this reason, an umbrella with a short handle is attached to the string that connects the dog.

On the dog side, a harness using rings or metal fittings that fix the neck and front legs is usually attached, but the position of the fastener that connects with the string is the center or slightly forward of the dog when viewed from above. and The umbrella is attached by passing the handle of the umbrella through the string, and the umbrella is fixed to the string with a fastener. Since the string is usually lifted upwards from the dog, it can take the shape that the umbrella comes upwards from the dog. It is assumed that the umbrella will be blown by the wind, but in order to stabilize it, the umbrella and the string are fixed by using a fastener on the upper side of the umbrella. In this case, the person walking the dog holds the string in his/her hand, so that the umbrella is positioned slightly above the dog, and the umbrella is stabilized against the string, and this state is maintained. . In addition, the handle of the umbrella may be directly or indirectly connected to the dog-side wearing device or the handle assisting device instead of having a cylindrical shape through which a string is passed.

By holding an umbrella on a walk, the dog with the umbrella will move around around the person walking, but the umbrella itself hinders walking, and depending on the dog's personality and physique, you may want to keep a distance. occurs. Assuming this, a handle assisting device is necessary, but it is made of a cylindrical stick or a stick, and by passing it through a string or connecting it to a string, the distance between the dog and the person walking is reduced. make it possible to put The cylindrical stick or stick is basically a strong and lightweight one with a length of about 10 cm to 1 m, but it is provided with unevenness and protrusions, a handle part, and a ring to be hung on the wrist or finger. It is easy to hold by hand. Since it is assumed that luggage such as a poop bag or a shovel will be held during a walk, it is also possible to provide the handle assisting device with the hanging part of the luggage. Usually, an umbrella used by a person is provided with a protrusion on the tip of the bone for the purpose of dropping raindrops. Safety is ensured by taking protective measures.

Dogs that go under umbrellas are expected to frolic even in the rain and splash rainwater, which is a factor in accelerating the deterioration of their bones. For this reason, the bones also need to be waterproofed to some extent, but in principle, the underside of the umbrella should also be covered or waterproofed to prevent rain from scattering from the underside of the umbrella, or use a water-resistant material. and While human umbrellas are designed to be waterproof from above, the dog umbrella of the present invention is also designed to be waterproof from below. In addition, the cover itself is basically completely waterproof, but in order to flexibly deal with the weather such as light rain or strong wind, the personality of the dog, the way the dog is walked, etc., the cover itself is made breathable and a little water leakage occurs. Consider possible types. In addition, it is assumed that the umbrella is provided with a rib itself or that it is simple, and a disposable type that can be replaced after being used once or several times is also assumed.

The biggest concern for use is whether the dog can be put on and taken off by a rampaging dog because the dog is frightened or frolic. The dog-side harness and string are attached to the dog first, and the umbrella is later attached to the string and connector, thereby facilitating the attachment. Detachment is also facilitated by adopting a structure in which the umbrella is removed first. In general, even for dogs that are expected to go on a rampage, the attachment and detachment should be made as easy as possible.

As a whole, the burden on the hand is reduced by making it an umbrella that can be hung from the viewpoint of a person walking. Convenience and comfort are ensured by passing not only strong and rigid structures between dogs, but also flexible cords and connectors that act like joints in each part. In addition, the cover of the umbrella is made transparent so that the movement and condition of the dog can be checked even from the top of the umbrella. While observing the behavior and condition of the dog, it is possible to operate the handle and take a walk.

After use, it can be disassembled into each part to ensure ease of storage and cleaning. As for the umbrella part, which is the main part, we assume that it will be a high-precision one that assumes medium- to long-term use, as well as a simple disposable one.

In order to cover from small dogs to large dogs, various sizes are provided, and various colors, patterns, materials, shapes, etc. are assumed depending on the user's preference and occasional situation. Since it consists of various parts as a whole, partial replacement or replacement of each part is also possible. A connection structure that allows each part to be combined arbitrarily.

By using the invention of the present application, it becomes possible to put an umbrella on the dog and take it for a walk. The umbrella is easy to put on and take off, and convenience and comfort can be ensured for both the dog walking and the person walking. Easy storage and cleaning can be ensured even when the umbrella is not in use. Similar to umbrellas for people, various sizes, colors, patterns, materials, shapes, etc. can be assumed, and various combinations of parts can be expected to distribute various umbrellas.

Because it is an umbrella, it is easier to put on and take off than a conventional kappa, and it is possible to do normal dog actions such as scratching the back, wagging the tail, and defecation. Unlike clothing, there are fewer hygiene issues. Since a transparent umbrella is used, the dog's field of vision is less likely to be blocked, and there are merits such as the movement and condition of the dog being easy to understand.

Many dogs walk in the rain soaking wet without using a conventional kappa, but the present invention can avoid such a state and reduce the number of soaking dogs. It can have the effect of animal welfare.
