Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to pet supplies, and more particularly, to pet supplies made of cloth.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for pets such as dogs, cats, small birds, and other small animals, various pet supplies including clothes, laying things, hanging things, and other cloth materials have been provided.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 When the pet articles made of the conventional cloth material are continuously used, the pet's body odor, dirt, and the like are generally attached to generate unpleasant odors and various bacteria.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a sanitary pet article which prevents the generation of the unpleasant odor and various germs.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention as set forth in claim 1 comprises a pet article made of a photocatalyzed cloth material. The photocatalyst is a substance called titanium oxide (TiO ₂ ) in the natural world, which has a function of decomposing organic substances, and when exposed to light in an environment with water, decomposes various bacteria and exhibits a deodorizing and antibacterial function. .

The present invention is a pet article constituted by the cloth material subjected to the photocatalytic treatment, wherein the photocatalytic treatment is performed by a method such as dipping or printing.

According to the first aspect, the generation of odor and various germs is prevented for a long time, and an effect of being hygienic can be obtained. That is, unlike the conventional general deodorization and / or antibacterial treatment, the photocatalyst treatment does not have a phenomenon in which the processing component (catalyst) dissolves out and exerts deodorant and antibacterial effects as long as it adheres to the cloth material.

[0008] An embodiment according to a second aspect is a pet article characterized in that the pet article partially has a photocatalyzed cloth material. In other words, the entire pet product is not made of photocatalyzed cloth, but instead of using a photocatalyst-treated cloth on one side, such as one side of pet supplies, general cloth that is not photocatalyzed is used. This includes the case where a part of pet products made of wood is sewn with a photocatalyzed cloth.

According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the entire pet article is not made of a photocatalyzed cloth material, so that the pet article can be provided at a low cost, and the deodorant and antibacterial effects suitable for various pets are maintained. be able to.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the pet article according to the first or second aspect, wherein the coloring is changed in proportion to a decrease in the photocatalytic effect. As described above, in the photocatalytic treatment, there is no phenomenon that the processing component adhered by the photocatalytic treatment is dissolved, and the deodorizing and antibacterial effects are maintained as long as the processing component adheres to the cloth material.

[0011] However, if the processed components fall off the cloth material due to repeated washing or other physical forces, the deodorizing and antibacterial effects are reduced. Therefore, in the present invention, the pet article which has been subjected to the photocatalytic treatment is preliminarily subjected to coloring which changes in proportion to the deodorizing and antibacterial effects which have been experimentally and empirically determined, and has an effective period, that is, This is used as a guide when it is time to replace the used pet supplies.

Specifically, the change in coloring is a change from a phenomenon in which the coloring is gradually reduced to a final erasure when the use is continued, and a change in the color itself during continued use. Is also conceivable. The coloring may be performed by mixing the colorant with the photocatalyst, or may be performed by means such as dipping or printing separately from the photocatalytic treatment.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to visually confirm the effective period of the deodorization and the reduction of the antibacterial effect by continuing to use and observing the change in coloring applied in advance, and to know the replacement time. Can be.

[0014]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a rug 1 as an example of a pet article.

The rug 1 is made of a cloth material 2 which has been subjected to a photocatalytic treatment, and may have any shape. The inside is appropriately filled with a cushion material (not shown) as required, and A sewn portion 3 is provided as appropriate to prevent the movement of the material and the entire shape of the material.

In one embodiment shown in the drawings, a triangle cloth 5 having a large number of colored parallel lines 4 is sewn to one corner.

The coloring mode is not limited to parallel lines, but may be an animal or other pictorial pattern, and the triangular cloth 5 may have another appropriate shape. Further, the specific coloring is carried out by using a coloring material which gradually fades in proportion to the deodorizing and antibacterial effects of the photocatalytic treatment, and which further leads to erasure, or a material whose color itself changes.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the present invention, that is, the embodiment shown in claim 1, comprises the entirety of the rug 1 made of a photocatalyzed cloth material 2, and This is a state in which the triangular cloth 5 having many colored parallel lines 4 is not required.

In another embodiment, that is, in the embodiment shown in claim 2, for example, the cloth material constituting the entire rug 1 is a general cloth material not subjected to photocatalytic treatment, and The photocatalytic treatment is applied only to the given triangular cloth 5, and the triangular cloth does not have many parallel lines colored.

Further, in another embodiment, that is, in the embodiment shown in claim 3, for example, in the claim 1, wherein the entire rug 1 is made of a cloth material 2 which has been subjected to a photocatalytic treatment, This is a state in which the triangular cloth 5 having a large number of colored parallel lines 4 is provided, and whether or not the triangular cloth 5 has been subjected to a photocatalytic treatment is determined. In the above-mentioned claim 2, which is composed of a cloth material that has not been subjected to photocatalytic treatment and a triangular cloth 5 that has been subjected to photocatalytic processing, the triangular cloth 5 is provided with the plurality of colored parallel lines 4.

In each of the above embodiments, the pet rug has been described. However, the present invention is applicable to pet articles made of various cloth materials, such as those to be put on and hung from pets, and further, directly The present invention can be applied not only to products that come into contact with pets, but also, for example, to products that hang near pets to obtain a deodorant effect.

[0022]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the first aspect, the generation of unpleasant odor and various germs of the pet article is prevented for a long time, and an effect of being sanitary is obtained. According to the second aspect, a pet article having the above-mentioned effects can be provided at low cost. Further, according to the third aspect, the expiration date of the pet article which has been used can be visually confirmed, and the replacement time can be determined, which is convenient.
