Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to a fitting for attaching a water bottle to a cage portion of a pet cage.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a water bottle for a pet cage for watering a pet animal (pet), there is a water bottle described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-113395. The water bottle has an attachment made of an elastic body, and the water bottle is attached to a cage portion (a grid-like portion) of the pet cage by utilizing the elasticity of the attachment. The gazette discloses on page 6, line 16, that the elastic fitting may be rubber (hereinafter, this rubber fitting is referred to as "conventional fitting"). The conventional mounting tool is a mounting tool having mounting hooks formed at both ends of one rubber belt, as is apparent from FIG.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, since the above-mentioned conventional mounting device is composed of a single rubber belt, it is good when a water bottle having a simple shape such as a cylindrical body is mounted on a pet cage, but a water bottle having a complicated form is used. Not always convenient to install. For example, when the water supply bottle has a conical shape, it is conceivable that only one rubber belt may shift the mounting position in a direction to become thinner due to the function of the inclined surface. If displaced, the water bottle may be loosely attached and the water bottle may come off the pet cage. This does not mean that it is easy to use as a fixture. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a convenient water supply bottle mounting device that does not come off after mounting, regardless of the shape of the water supply bottle.

Configuration of the Invention According to Claim 1 An attachment for a water bottle for a pet cage according to the invention according to claim 1 (hereinafter referred to as “attachment of claim 1”) is provided on a cage portion of the pet cage. An attachment for externally attaching a water bottle, wherein the attachment comprises a ring-shaped rubber belt and at least two attachment hooks slidably attached to the rubber belt. Features. "Slidably attached" means that the unit is attached so that it can move freely in a contact state. In other words, as long as the position of the mounting hook with respect to the rubber belt can be freely changed, there is no restriction on the method of mounting the mounting hook to the rubber belt. The expression "at least two" means that three or more mounting hooks may be used according to the shape of the water supply bottle.

According to the attachment of the first aspect, the water bottle is attached by pressing the water bottle to the cage portion by the elasticity of the rubber. Each mounting hook can be moved to the optimal position while sliding on the rubber belt simply by pulling both mounting hooks in opposite directions.

Configuration of the Invention According to Claim 2 The attachment for a pet cage water bottle according to the invention according to claim 2 (hereinafter referred to as “attachment of claim 2”) is the attachment of claim 1. In addition to the above configuration, each of the mounting hooks includes a hook portion for hooking on a net wire of a pet cage, and a ring portion formed at one end of the hook portion. It is characterized in that it is configured to penetrate inside the part. Note that the form of the “ring portion” is any form that can be adopted by those skilled in the art as long as the form is slidable with respect to the rubber belt that penetrates.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect of the invention, the ring section slides on the rubber belt. Occurs.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as “the present embodiment”) will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a water bottle is attached to a pet cage using a fixture, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the fixture. 3 and 4 are schematic diagrams showing examples of use of the fixture.

Configuration of Mounting Tool The configuration of the mounting tool 35 will be described with reference to FIGS. The attachment 35 includes a rubber belt 31 formed of natural or synthetic rubber in a ring shape, and two attachment hooks 33 attached to the rubber belt 31. The attachment hook 33 is substantially S-shaped, and includes a hook portion 37 for hooking on the net wire 11 and a ring portion 39 formed at one end of the hook portion 37.

Configuration of Rubber Belt The rubber belt 31 must have sufficient tension to attach the water bottle 21 to the cage 3 of the pet cage 1 in the state shown in FIG. In selecting the rubber belt 31, it is necessary to determine the material, cross-sectional shape, etc., in consideration of this point. The length of the rubber belt 31 is adjusted so that a sufficient pressing force is applied to the water supply bottle 21 when the rubber belt 31 is used in a folded state as shown in FIG. As long as the rubber belt 31 is formed in a ring shape, it does not matter whether or not there is a seam. However, it is preferable that the surface of the rubber belt 31 be finished smoothly so that the ring portion 39 of the mounting hook 33 slides easily as described later. Therefore, for example, when two rubber pieces are connected to form a ring, care must be taken so that burrs do not occur at the joint.

Configuration of Mounting Hook As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting hook 33 is formed by a wire bent in a substantially S shape as described above. The ring portion 39 has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rubber belt 31, and the rubber belt 31 is penetrated therein.

Operation and effect of this embodiment When each of the mounting hooks 33, 33 is pulled in the opposite direction while holding each of the mounting hooks 33, 33 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. Stop when the left and right balance is achieved. Once the left and right balance is achieved, both hooks cannot be moved even if they try to pull any further. The position thus obtained is the optimum position for the mounting hook 33. If both mounting hooks 33, 33 are hooked on the cage portion 3 in this state, the mounting of the water supply bottle 21 is completed. At this time, since the rubber belt 31 is folded back at two points with the two attachment hooks 33, 33 as a folding point, the water supply bottle 21 can be attached more firmly than a single rubber belt. Further, since the mounting hooks 33 are mounted after sliding, the tension of the rubber belt at the portion extending from one side to the other can be made substantially equal to the tension of the rubber belt at the portion extending from the other side to the one side. Thus, an excessive load is applied to one of the rubber belts and the other rubber belt is not excessively loosened.

After the optimal position of the mounting hooks 33 is determined by the above-described method, one of the mounting hooks 33 is hooked on the mesh wire 11 and then the other mounting hook 33 is connected to the rubber belt 31. Stretch against the tension of Once the water bottle 21 has been pulled sufficiently to be attached, the other attachment hook 33 is hooked on the appropriate mesh wire 11 to complete the attachment. Instead of positioning the mounting hooks 33, 33, one of them may be hooked on the mesh wire 11 and the other mounting hook 33 may be pulled as it is. Removal of the attachment 35 is performed in the reverse procedure of attachment.

[0014] On the other hand, the rubber belt 31 extending from one side to the other side is made longer (shorter) than the rubber belt 31 extending in the opposite direction by intentionally changing the relative position of both mounting hooks. Is also possible. As shown in FIG. 3, if the long part is hung on the thick part of the water bottle and the short part is hung on the thin part, even if the water bottle 23 is an irregular shape other than a cylindrical body, the rubber belt of both parts Since the tensions of 33 and 33 can be kept substantially equal, stable mounting can be achieved.

This is the same when the number of mounting hooks 33 is increased. If three mounting hooks 33 are employed, a stable water bottle can be mounted by adjusting the tension of the rubber belt extending between the three hooks. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, four attachment hooks 33 may be provided, and the rubber belt 31 may be pulled and attached by these.

[0016]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the invention described in each claim, the water bottle can be attached without being detached after the attachment, regardless of the form of the water bottle.
