Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device that can relatively easily remove fleas, mites, etc., which are ectoparasites of animals. It is an attachment for a vacuum cleaner that is used by fitting it to the open end of a flexible hose that is fitted into the air suction port of the vacuum cleaner.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as an electric vacuum cleaner attachment of this kind that can remove fleas, ticks, etc. that are ectoparasites of animals, actual open 05-74256 "pet animal comb", actual 06-72546 "vacuum suction Nozzle structure "and the like are known. However, all of these have air suction holes opened at the base or adjacent area of a comb-shaped body that stands upright.

In addition, the suction opening for fleas, ticks, etc. of the actual opening 05-74256 "comb for pet animals" is a single small opening independent from the comb tooth-like body, and conversely, The air suction hole of the actual opening 06-72546 "Structure of the suction nozzle of the vacuum cleaner" is a wide opening located at a position away from the tip portion of the comb-like body which stands upright.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the former of those described in the prior art, when trying to catch fleas, ticks, etc., each one must come close to its own single small opening, and in the latter, Since the air suction hole is located away from the tip of the forested comb-toothed body, the suction force is insufficient, and it is difficult to achieve a sufficient effect. The present invention is intended to provide a device capable of relatively easily removing fleas, mites, etc., which are ectoparasites of animals.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a hollow comb for removing ectoparasites of an animal according to the present invention is a hollow attachment having a tapered tubular portion that fits into a suction hose of a vacuum cleaner. In this case, the other end is sealed so that an inner cavity is formed inside the hollow part, and a flat surface part is provided on one side surface of the hollow part. A large number of pipes having the above are provided so as to communicate with the lumen.

Further, when the suction force against fleas and the like is too strong at the tip portions of the many tubes, an external space and an internal cavity are provided in the hollow portion near the tapered tubular portion so that the suction force can be weakened. It has an air intake that communicates and can be opened and closed.

In addition, in the distal end portion of the tube of the hollow comb of the present invention, when the suction force is too weak, the hollow portion has substantially flat rectangular parallelepiped flat portions so that the suction force can be increased. In addition, it has a double-wall structure consisting of an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder that slide against each other, and a large number of tubes with through holes with an inner diameter that can suck fleas and the like are provided on the flat wall of the outer cylinder so as to communicate with the lumen side. , A hole that connects the through-hole and the inner cavity at a position corresponding to all the through-holes of many pipes provided in the outer cylinder, on the plane-wall portion of the inner cylinder that is inscribed in the flat-wall portion of the outer cylinder. The inner cylinder is provided with an outer cylinder so that the side of the outer cylinder having the pipe circumscribes the flat wall of the inner cylinder so that the other flat wall of the inner cylinder faces the flat wall. When replaced, place it in a position that corresponds only to the identified small number of through holes in the many tubes of the outer cylinder. A hole that connects the through hole and the inner cavity is provided.

[0008] Furthermore, in the process of operating the hollow comb to remove fleas, ticks, etc., if the fur of the animal is disturbed, it is convenient for straightening the disturbed hair, so that the outer tube flat surface without the tube is convenient. The walls (41) are provided with solid comb teeth.

【Example】

 Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3, a hollow attachment 2 of the present invention, which is a hollow attachment having a tapered tubular portion 1 that fits into a suction hose of an electric vacuum cleaner, and a chisel or the like provided therein are shown. The pipe 6 having the through hole 5 having an inner diameter capable of being sucked is formed by using plastics to have a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm.

Further, the above-mentioned tip portion of the tube 6 is rounded with a small radius so as not to damage the skin of the animal,

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the openable / closable device of the air intake 7 provided in the hollow portion 2 near the tapered tubular portion 1 for communicating the external space with the inner cavity 3 is In the long hole 10 in the direction of the tail line provided in the hollow portion 2 near the intake port 7, the tip end hanging from the sliding valve that opens and closes the air intake port 7 and the plate-like member 11 that also serves as its operating knob. The leg plate 12 that is slightly inflated is snapped into place. The opening / closing degree of the air intake 7 can be adjusted by sliding the plate member 11 in the direction of the tail line.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hollow part 2 has a substantially elongated rectangular parallelepiped having flat surface parts 41 and 42, and has a double-wall structure composed of an outer cylinder 8 and an inner cylinder 9 that slide relative to each other. The outer cylinder 8 can be replaced with respect to the inner cylinder 9 so that the flat wall portion of the outer cylinder 8 in contact with the flat wall portion of the inner cylinder 9 is different from the other flat wall portions of the outer cylinder 8. When the replacement is performed, among the through holes 5 of the large number of pipes 6 of the outer cylinder 8, only the ones that can communicate with the inner cavity 3 correspond to the small number of communication holes 52 provided in the inner cylinder 9. Therefore, the suction force of the tip portion of the identified small number of the through holes 5 of the tube 6 can be increased.

In this case, the number of the communication holes 52 provided in the inner cylinder 9 is 2 to 6, preferably 2 to 3. The tip of the identified tube used in this case, where a strong suction force is available, may be left unrounded and angled so that the body, such as mites, may tend to prune.

Further, the solid comb teeth provided on the flat wall portion 44 of the outer cylinder on the side opposite to the side on which the tube 6 is provided, which is used for disturbing the fur of the animal after operating the hollow comb of the present invention, In addition to being linear as shown in FIG. 4, although not shown, they may be arranged in a known annular shape, concentric shape, or the like.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 The hollow comb for removing ectoparasites of an animal of the present invention is configured as described above, and therefore, it is relatively easy to move the vacuum cleaner while the target animal is not combed with the hollow comb of the present invention. The purpose of the period can be achieved.

If the ectoparasite that you want to remove is one that is hard to remove because it firmly bites into the animal's skin like mites, it is a combination surface with the inner cylinder of the outer cylinder of the double-wall structure of the hollow part. With this conversion, a strong suction force can be applied only to the specified tube, so that the purpose can be effectively achieved.

If the fur of the animal is disturbed in the process of operating the hollow comb to remove fleas, ticks, etc., the solid provided on the flat surface portion (42) of the outer cylinder on the side where the tube (6) is not provided. The teeth of a nice comb help straighten the hair.
