Description

  The present invention relates to a safety device that prevents pets such as dogs and cats from encountering a traffic accident during a walk at night.

  In recent years, there has been a pet boom, and many households have dogs and cats. According to a study by the Cabinet Office, about 30% of large cities with a population of 1 million or more are less than 1 million with a population of 150,000 or more. About 34% of medium-sized cities raise pets, about 38% of small cities with a population of 50,000 and less than 150,000, and about 47% of towns and villages raise pets.

  And the expense spent on these pets is also high. The average price at the time of purchase is over 120,000 yen for dogs and over 70,000 yen for cats, and the average food spend per month is about 5600 yen for dogs and about 6300 yen for cats. Accounted for a large percentage of For this reason, love for pets is high and, of course, homes without children, but after children grow up, they are so cute as their children.

  Therefore, there are many cases of going out for a walk with a pet early in the morning or in the evening. By the way, there are many cases where a pet encounters a traffic accident during a night walk, and this is a big problem not only for pets and their owners but also for car drivers. At night, it is not easy for the driver to confirm the presence of a relatively small pet, and the vehicle driver may suddenly jump out to the roadway side. Of course, if it is a case where the existence of a pet is confirmed, the driver who runs near can take some care, but it is impossible unless the existence is known.

  By the way, various ideas are devised to make it easier for the driver to confirm the presence of a pet. For example, “LED issuance plate for traffic safety etc.” according to utility model registration No. 3087554 has a belt-like shape with cloth, leather, any other flexible material, or plastic, rubber, metal or any other hard material , Formed into an oval or any other shape, and laminated and integrated it, forming a circuit with one or more LEDs, batteries, LSIs and switches between them, providing a light emitting plate, and the light emitting plate as a tape fastener Or a band with a fastener, etc., or other attachment means to attach to a pet collar, bicycle, clothes, or other object in a detachable manner, or to be sewn, glued, screwed, crimped, or any other fastening means It is prepared to adhere to things.

  This LED light-emitting plate is basically attached to a pet as a collar, but its presence is difficult to understand depending on the orientation of the pet, and the production cost is high. On the other hand, since the electronic parts are mounted, it becomes a very heavy collar, which is a burden for small pets.

The “safe collar for pets such as dogs and cats” according to Utility Model Registration No. 3041788 has a fluorescent seal between the front and back leather parts of the collar so that it can be recognized by passersby and car drivers. It has a structure in which light is emitted by sandwiching, cutting out the outer leather part into an appropriate shape, and exposing the fluorescent part. Even in the case of this collar, depending on the direction of the pet, it is difficult for the driver to understand, and since it is a fluorescent seal, it does not emit light unless it hits the car light, so it often delays being aware of its existence.
“LED Issuing Plate for Traffic Safety etc.” according to Utility Model Registration No. 3087554 "Safety collars for pets such as dogs and cats" according to Utility Model Registration No. 3041788

  As described above, various pet safety devices are known, but there are problems as described above. Problems to be solved by the present invention are these problems, and provide a pet safety device that can emit light over a long period of time without being exposed to light.

  The pet safety device according to the present invention is a wear to be worn by a pet, and is a rope for carrying a pet. And these wearing tools and rope are comprised with the phosphorescent fiber so that it can light-emit in darkness. Phosphorescence is a property that allows light to be accumulated during the daylight and emits light in the dark, and the present invention impregnates the phosphorescent pigment into the fiber.

  The pet safety device of the present invention is woven and knitted using at least a part of a yarn made of a fiber impregnated with the phosphorescent pigment. Therefore, even if weaving and knitting using the yarn composed of the fibers, the loom and the knitting machine are not damaged, and the knitted fabric is also resistant to washing. By the way, although a wearing tool is set as the form which can cover the trunk | drum of a pet, a specific form is not limited.

  The pet safety device of the present invention uses a fabric woven and knitted using a fiber impregnated with a phosphorescent pigment, and when the wearer sewed with the fabric is worn on a pet and goes out for a walk at night, the wearer emits light. To prevent the risk of traffic accidents. Since the wearing tool uses phosphorescent fibers, it can fluoresce in the dark, and it is possible to check a pet that is far away even if the car light does not hit. Moreover, not only a wearing tool but the case where a rope is comprised with phosphorescent fiber is also the same, and fluorescence is emitted from this rope and presence of a pet is confirmed.

  FIG. 1 is a specific example when a wearing tool 2 is worn on a dog 1, and the wearing tool 2 is configured to cover the torso of the dog. The wearing tool 2 is made of a cloth material, and has leg holes 3 and 3 into which front legs are fitted so as not to be displaced in a worn state. Although FIG. 2 represents the said wearing tool independently, it can connect both edges with an adhesive tape so that it may be easy to wear to a dog.

  The wearing tool 2 is a cloth fabric having a substantially rectangular shape, and the yarn fiber used is impregnated with a phosphorescent pigment. For example, the polyester multifilament contains 8% phosphorescent pigment, or polyester staple fiber. In addition, a yarn made of a fiber containing 10% phosphorescent pigment can be used. FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the luminance and the afterglow time of a phosphorescent fiber containing 8% phosphorescent pigment in a polyester multifilament.

  A phosphorescent fiber containing 8% phosphorescent pigment in the polyester multifilament is placed in a state where light is blocked for 24 hours, and this is vertically irradiated with a 15 W desk fluorescent lamp for 20 minutes. The temperature at this time is 25 ° C. and the humidity is 65%. As is clear from the figure, the luminance decreases sharply for about 1 hour after irradiation, but the luminance decrease thereafter is small and light can be emitted for a long time.

  By the way, the wearing tool 2 shown in FIG. 2 is provided with two leg holes 3 and 3 penetrating on the front side, and a dog's front leg is inserted into the leg holes 3 and 3 for wearing. Adhesive tapes (magic tapes) are sewn on both sides and worn as shown in FIG. 1. The adhesive tape 4a is fixed in contact with the adhesive tape 4b, and the adhesive tape 5a is also connected to the adhesive tape 5b. The adhesive tape 6a is fixed in contact with the adhesive tape 6b.

  The wearing tool of the present invention uses a thread composed of phosphorescent fiber at least in part, so that the wearing tool can emit light even at night. Therefore, the driver of the car can recognize the light from a distance. Of course, the wearer himself / herself emits light even when the light from the headlight of the car does not strike.

  On the other hand, a rope is targeted as another form of the pet safety device of the present invention. The rope is knitted using yarns composed of phosphorescent fibers. Therefore, light can also be emitted from the rope. Since the rope extends long and narrow, it is easy for the driver to check from any position.

When wearing the device of the present invention on a dog. The example of the wearing tool which concerns on this invention. The relationship between the luminance and afterglow time of a fiber containing 8% phosphorescent pigment in a polyester multifilament.
