[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this reason, in the present invention, a shelf board member that is detachably hung on the horizontal line in the middle of the cage to partition the small animal breeding cage into upper and lower rooms, and the shelf board material is made of plastic. The above-mentioned problems have been solved by integrally forming the floor surface into a flat shape without steps by using a member made of steel. Further, the shelf board member is formed in a tray shape having a peripheral wall surface portion on the peripheral side surface thereof, thereby solving the same problem as described above. Furthermore, the peripheral side edge of the shelf member is provided with a tongue piece for hanging on the horizontal wire in the middle stage of the cage, thereby solving the above-mentioned problem. In addition, a notch groove-shaped opening is formed at one side edge of the shelf member through a slope extending below the floor surface of the shelf, and both edges of the slope of the opening are formed. The above-mentioned problem was solved by providing a connecting hole for hanging the ladder at a position one step lower than the floor of the shelf board.

That is, in the shelf plate member for partitioning a cage for raising small animals according to the present invention, the shelf plate member is integrally formed by a plastic member so that the floor surface has a flat shape without steps. , It is easier to clean, and small animals do not trip over on the shelf, prevent small animals from breaking or spraining, and do not let food fall into the lower room. Further, since the shelf plate member is formed in a tray shape having a peripheral wall surface portion on the peripheral side surface, water, food, etc. do not spill outside the cage. Then, the tongue piece attached to the peripheral side edge of the shelf member facilitates attachment and detachment of the shelf plate to and from the breeding cage. Furthermore, even in a cage with a small space, it is possible to secure an entrance and exit to the room under the cage for small animals.

Is a shelf member for partitioning small animals into upper and lower rooms for breeding cages, and the shelf member 1 is made of plastic such as thermoplastic resin or thermosetting resin as shown in FIG. A flat concave tray having a flat floor surface having a shelf board floor surface 2 and a peripheral wall portion 3 on the peripheral side edge is made of a member, specifically, a thermoplastic resin, preferably polypropylene, styrene resin, high impact styrene resin, or the like. It is integrally molded into a shape and is attachable to and detachable from the breeding cage P. In addition, the breeding cage P has a bottom tray S fastened to its bottom by a buckle (not shown) or the like so that it can be easily cleaned by removing the buckle, and the top surface is a breeding cage. It has a full-open type structure so that the inside of P can be easily cleaned and the shelf board 1 can be easily attached and detached.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, a rib shape for locking the shelf board member 1 to the horizontal line 4 in the middle stage of the breeding cage P is provided on the peripheral wall portion 3 of the shelf board member 1. Of the tongue pieces 5 are integrally extended laterally at two locations so that a pair of the tongue pieces 5 are opposed to each other. In order to prevent this, stopper portions 6 are provided so as to project downward. In the past, the stopper portion 6 could only have a width corresponding to the diameter of the wire rod, but according to the present embodiment, since the stopper portion 6 is made of a plastic member, the width can be made as thick as possible. The mounting stability is improved, and the stopper portion 6 has a gripping action on the horizontal wire 4 so that it can be easily removed. Particularly in small animals such as hamsters, the cage intervals of the breeding cage P are set to about 9 to 10 mm, and the tongue piece 5 of the shelf plate member 1 is easily hung on the horizontal line 4 in the middle stage of the breeding cage P. It is thin and thick.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a notch groove-shaped opening 8 is formed at one side edge of the shelf member 1 via a slope 7 extending below the shelf floor 2. At a position lower than the shelf board floor surface 2, which is both edges of the slope 7 of the opening 8, by a pair of connecting holes for ladders for suspending and suspending the upper end portions of the ladder 9. 10 is provided so that small animals do not trip over the ladder 9 and do not become confused when freely running on the shelf floor surface 2. At this time, the height of the peripheral wall portion 3 on the opening 8 side of the shelf member 1 is set lower than the height of the other peripheral wall portions 11. In the illustrated example, the peripheral wall portion 3 on the side of the opening 8 may be deleted so as to be flush.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the two shelf plate members 1 may be arranged so as to face each other in the breeding cage P so that the openings 8 of the shelf plate member 1 face each other and be placed in a suspended state. . At this time, the central portion of the two joined shelf members 1 becomes a rectangular opening 8 leading to the lower chamber.

Next, to explain an example of use of the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the shelf member 1 is inserted from the top opening side of the breeding cage P and the horizontal strip 4 in the middle stage of the breeding cage P is inserted. The shelf board member 1 is fixedly arranged by locking the tongue piece 5 on the top. Then, the upper ends of the ladder 9 are suspended and suspended in the ladder connecting hole 10. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, the two shelf board members 1 are arranged in the breeding cage P so that the openings 8 of the shelf board members 1 face each other, and the two shelf board members 1 are hung on each other to be suspended. If the upper end portions of the ladder 9 are suspended and suspended in the ladder connecting hole 10, the doorway to the lower room can be easily secured.
