Description

  This invention relates to dog and cat brushes, especially dogs and cats falling on carpets and sofas, or dust on dogs and cats' bodies and legs, pebbles caught between toes, and body The present invention relates to a brush for removing pests and the like.

  Conventionally, when the hair of a dog or cat kept indoors is attached to a carpet or sofa, the hair is removed using a brush. When the brush is manually small, human hair collects and discards the hair attached to the brush by hand, which makes it difficult to clean the hair.

  Manual mop type brushes are also known. This is a structure in which the tip of a rod for holding and operating with a hand is fixed to the center of the upper surface of a roughly rectangular parallelepiped brush portion, and a rubber brush is formed on the bottom surface of the brush portion. The hair is removed by sliding the brush part on the floor or carpet and attaching the hair, and it is easier to clean up the hair compared to the manual brush described above, but it can be used with objects such as the floor and carpet. The sliding surface is flat, and because it is made of rubber, friction between the floor and carpet is large, and it does not move so smoothly over them, so force is required for hair removal and use A burden is placed on the waist of the person and the hair removal effect is not sufficient.

  On the other hand, brushes for dogs and cats used as attachments for electric vacuum cleaners are also conventionally known (for example, see Patent Document 1). This conventional brush is composed of a rotating cylindrical brush provided in the suction hole and a plurality of brushes that are braked or shifted in rotation direction, and a variable or constant resistance is given by the plurality of brushes. The structure is designed to obtain a hair removal and brushing effect.

  However, the conventional dog / cat brush described in Patent Document 1 is configured so that the hair removed by applying a suitable frictional force to the hair with a rotating cylindrical brush is sucked into the suction hole of the electric vacuum cleaner. Therefore, it is not necessary to clean up the hair that is necessary with the above-mentioned manual brush, but only the hair attached to the surface is applied because the rotating cylindrical brush is only applied to the target animal, carpet or sofa with hair attached to it. It is difficult to remove the hair that has entered the stitches of the carpet and the hair that has entered the crevice of the sofa, and the hair removal effect is not sufficient. Also, the effect of scavenging and removing pests and hair pests caught between the toes of dogs and cats is not sufficient.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and prevents dogs, cat brushes, and hair scattering that can sufficiently enhance the effect of brushing hair loss of dogs and cats, promoting hair loss of dogs and cats, and brushing. The object is to provide a cover that can be used.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a dog and cat brush capable of scavenging pests and hair pests caught between the toes of dogs and cats, and a cover used therefor.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a hollow housing in which one end is connected to the suction port of the vacuum cleaner and is formed on the bottom surface of the hollow housing. It consists of two types of protrusions that are arranged and fixed in pairs, and the tip slides on the object to be used. Elasticity in a shape in which a second sphere portion having a second curvature radius smaller than the first curvature radius is connected to the tip of the first projection portion having the first curvature radius and the tip of the first sphere portion having the first curvature radius. The structure is composed of a second protrusion having a property.

  In this device, both of the two types of elastic protrusions are rounded in tip shape and have different predetermined shapes from each other. In addition, the hair of dogs and cats that have entered the stitches and gaps can be scraped and sucked into a vacuum cleaner.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention may be configured by a plurality of brush portions regularly arranged and fixed on the bottom surface of the hollow housing in place of the two types of protrusions described above. Further, it may be configured by two types of brush portions regularly arranged and fixed on the bottom surface of the hollow casing. Here, each of the plurality of brush portions has a structure in which one ends of a plurality of elastic linear members are fixed together by a fixing portion, and the two types of brush portions described above are: A first brush portion having a spherical shape with a tip having a spherical portion and having elasticity, and a second brush portion in which one ends of a plurality of elastic linear members are fixed together by a fixing portion attached to the bottom surface It is the structure which consists of.

  According to the present invention, two types of protrusions or two types of brush portions that are elastic and rounded at the tip are used for objects to which dog or cat hair is attached (for example, carpets, sofas, etc.) The floor is made to slide on the floor, so the dog and cat hair adhering to the surface, as well as the dog and cat hair that has entered the stitches and gaps, which has been difficult in the past, are scraped out and the vacuum cleaner When used on the body of a dog or cat, the brushing can provide a sufficient massage effect as compared with the prior art, and the pests attached to the body can be removed.

  Further, according to the present invention, by sliding a single type of brush on the body or foot of a dog or cat, the pest attached to the body is scraped and sucked into a vacuum cleaner or pinched between the toes. Foreign objects such as pebbles can be scraped out and sucked into a vacuum cleaner.
