Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a dog toy that helps reduce stress in dogs and strengthens gums.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Since dogs have a habit of playing by chewing and squeezing balls and ropes, they have traditionally been provided with these balls and ropes as a pet dog toy for the purpose of relieving stress and strengthening gums. Was there. Most ball toys are made of plastic or rubber because of their ease of molding, rigidity, and cost, and the length of the rope is 20 to 30 cm without any processing. There was only one rope or a rope with a knot.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, if the dog is played with both balls and ropes, it is inconvenient to carry the dog, and even if these are stored and stored, either one may be lost. Also, if the ball is a plastic or rubber toy, it does not feel good to the teeth, and for dogs with a strong sense of smell, the smell peculiar to plastic or rubber material is not necessarily the dog's favorite odor. Furthermore, if you can play with only ropes, it will not roll like a ball, so its usage is limited, and it is not interesting.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a dog-friendly toy that makes the gums strong, helps relieve stress, and can be used in various ways.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the inventor of the present application examined a combination of a rope and a ball, or a combination of a rope and another. To combine the rope and the ball, it is conceivable to attach the ball to the tip or center of a rod-shaped rope, but this is inconvenient when carrying or hooking on a door knob or the like to organize and store the rope. It is desirable to make it loopable and convenient for carrying around. At this time, it is conceivable to attach a ball to a part of the looped rope, but the ball part is biased toward one end side of the rope and the balance is not good, so it may not roll when playing with the ball. Therefore, it is considered optimal to attach the ball to the middle of the rope so that only the loops on both ends of the rope are exposed. Moreover, it is preferable that the ball itself be made of a fibrous material preferred by dogs, and it is desired that the ball has a certain degree of texture when chewing this fibrous material.

Therefore, the inventor of the present application employs a dog toy including an endless rope and a main body made of a fiber material attached to an intermediate portion of the rope so as to expose only the loop portions at both ends of the rope. We decided to make the dog's teeth tough and easy to carry and organize, and to make the dog feel chewy even when the main body is chewed.

As the shape of the main body, a ball-like shape is preferred because of the fun of rolling. Therefore, the main body of fiber material is in the shape of a ball, the endless rope is pulled through with the loops at both ends protruding, and the inside of the ball-shaped body is stuffed and the rope is sewn to the rope at the rope pulling portion. With this structure, the dogs love playing because of the fun of rolling the ball.

The shape of the ball may be a spherical shape such as a soccer ball, a baseball ball or a volleyball, or an elliptical shape such as a rugby ball or an American football.

It is also known that, as a material of the main body, a dog prefers a densely fluffy fiber material, a heavy-weight canvas, and the like. Furthermore, although it is possible to use natural fibers such as cotton for filling the balls, considering the material cost, etc., it is as elastic as cotton, does not affect the texture, etc., and is low cost. It is preferably made of foamed plastic.

Therefore, as a preferred embodiment of the ball-shaped main body, a structure is adopted in which the main body made of a fiber material is made of a synthetic fiber material having a dense fluff surface and is filled with foam plastic. Further, as another embodiment, a structure in which the main body is made of canvas and a foamed plastic stuffing is used is adopted.

For combinations other than the rope and balls, that is, balls, the rope is formed in an endless shape. Therefore, if the rope is circular and the sail is stretched on the rope, a flying disc It can also be used as follows. However, if the rope is simply laid on the entire surface, it is inconvenient to carry or arrange by hooking it on a hook, etc. Is preferred.

Therefore, the inventor of the present application has found that the rope in the endless state has a circular shape, and the main body of the fiber material is hung from one circular arc portion to the other circular arc portion at the intermediate portion of the rope, and the rope is wound around the circular arc portion. It is sewn along the rope and adopts a structure in which a constricted part that forms a space between the loop parts on both ends of the exposed rope and the main body is formed in the main body. We provided toys that can be carried and organized, and dogs can bite the exposed rope by chewing.

[0013]

[Action]

 As described above, the dog can bite or bite the other loop part or body while the owner holds one end of the loop part of the rope in the endless state. In the case of, the dog can play while playing because it can be rolled.

In the case of this ball-shaped main body, since a synthetic fiber material having a dense fluff surface or canvas is used, the dog can enjoy playing by chewing or chewing. In addition, since the main body is filled with foamed plastic, it is elastic and durable.

Further, if the main body is in the shape of a sail, it also functions as a flying disc, which enables various ways of playing and using, such as catching a toy thrown by the owner in the air. Even in this case, when the loop portion is chewed, the dog can bite only the loop portion because the constricted portion is formed in the main body.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings will be described. 1 is a perspective view of a ball type toy showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a rugby ball type toy, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a flying disc type toy.

As shown in FIG. 1, a dog toy 1 includes a rope 2 in an endless state and a main body 4 made of a fiber material attached to an intermediate portion of the rope so that only loops 3 at both ends of the rope 2 are exposed. It has and.

The rope 2 can be made of various materials such as natural fibers such as cotton and hemp, or synthetic fibers such as acrylic fibers, but the cotton yarn that dogs most like is used as the material. It is made by twisting several strands with appropriate twist. The rope ends 5 are bonded to each other with an adhesive, and the adhesive strength is such that the dog does not separate even if the dog holds the loop 3 of the rope 2 and pulls it. It is desirable that the joint portion 5 is located inside the main body 4 and that the rope 2 intersects inside the main body so that the shape of the loop portion 3 is not collapsed.

The main body 4 is made of synthetic fiber material such as acrylic fiber and filled with foamed plastic, and is formed into a ball shape. The material surface of the main body 4 uses short fibers. Dense fluffy surface is formed. The ball shape in FIG. 1 is a baseball ball shape, but as shown in FIG. 2, various shapes such as a soccer ball and a rugby ball shape such as a basketball are conceivable. However, it is desirable to set the size of the ball-shaped main body 4 in consideration of easiness of rolling in relation to the protruding length of the exposed loop portion 3.

The dog toy 1 described above is manufactured as follows. First, both ends of the rope 2 cut into appropriate lengths are butted, and the butted ends 5 are joined by an adhesive to make an endless state. After that, the rope 2 is passed through the opening 6 of the bag-shaped main body 4 in a state where the rope 2 is crossed at the center position, and the foamed plastic filling 7 is further inserted through the opening 6 and then the The opening 6 is sewn 8 together with the rope 2 and closed so that the filling 7 does not pop out.

In use, the owner can hold one end of the loop portion 3 of the rope 2 in the endless state, while the dog can bite or bite the other loop portion 3 or the main body 4, and When placed on a surface, the ball-shaped body 4 can roll. In addition, when organizing and storing, the loop part 3 is hardly lost if it is hooked on a door knob or a wall hook.

FIG. 2 shows a rugby ball-shaped main body 4, in which canvas is used as the material of the main body 4 and a foamed plastic padding 7 is applied inside. Canvas is a thick plain weave made by densely weaving thick warp yarns or draw yarns for warp yarns.Because it uses thick count yarns, it is preferred by dogs, and natural yarns such as cotton yarns are also used. It is considered that dogs will like it even more if the material is used.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a flying disc type dog toy, in which the rope 2 in the endless state has a circular shape, and the main body 4 of the fiber material extends from one circular arc portion 10 in the middle portion of the rope. It is hung on the other circular arc portion 11 and is sewn 13 along the rope 2 at the winding portion around the circular arc portions 10 and 11, and between the both end loop portions 3 of the exposed rope 2 and the main body 4. Constricted portions 17 and 18 are formed in the main body 4 so as to form the space portions 15 and 16.

In the production of this toy, both ends of the rope 2 are joined 5 in the same manner as described above, and both ends of the sail-shaped main body 4 are wound around the arc portions 10 and 11 of the rope 2 and sewn 13 to form the toy. Good. In addition, as a usage method, if you throw the disc while holding the loop portion 3 of the rope 2, you will be able to fly in the air, and the dog can catch this in the air. As another usage, the dog can bit or chew the other end loop portion 3 or the main body 4 while the owner holds the one end loop portion 3 of the rope 2 as described above. Even in this case, since the constricted portions 17 and 18 are formed, only the loop portion 3 can be caught.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and it goes without saying that many modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the present invention.

[0026]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above detailed description, according to the dog toy according to the present invention, since the main body of the fiber material is attached to the intermediate portion of the rope so as to expose only the loop portions at both ends of the rope in the endless state, it can be carried. We can provide toys that are convenient for organizing and storing and that are kind to dogs' teeth.

According to the second aspect, since the main body of the fiber material is formed into a ball shape, both the fun as a rope and the way to enjoy as a ball are possible.

According to the third aspect, the rope in the endless state has a circular shape and can be enjoyed as a flying disc type, which is easy to carry and has a space portion between the exposed loop portion and the body. Since there is a constricted part to form, only the loop part can be bitten.

According to the fourth and fifth aspects, since the ball-shaped main body is made of a fiber material having a dense fluff surface or canvas, it is possible to provide a toy that dogs can easily like.
