  The above-mentioned exercise support device adopts a structure that adjusts the length adjustment member of the connecting string for the movement width in the front-rear direction on the traveling path of the dog, and for the difference in the thickness of the dog's neck In this case, a corresponding structure is adopted by adjusting the length adjusting member of the retaining ring. Therefore, adjustment work is required as necessary. In addition, the adjustment structure for other differences, such as size (type, age, etc.) and strength for pulling the lead is not applied, so it is preferable to take into account the size (height) and strength of the pet. There was a certain limit to realizing this.

  Although the present invention has been made in view of the above, it provides an exercise support device capable of realizing a suitable running exercise in consideration of at least a difference in height of animals such as pets without requiring complicated work. For the purpose.

  Hereinafter, the anchoring mechanism portion will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B are partial views for explaining the height adjustment of the lifting unit. FIG. 3A shows the case where the lifting unit is adjusted to the lowest position, and FIG. 3B shows the case where the lifting unit is adjusted to the highest level. This is the case. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining a string material wrapping structure. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the lock portion viewed from an oblique front, FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the lock portion viewed obliquely from the rear, and FIG. 7 is a partial view of the extended portion viewed from the upper rear. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the locking mechanism portion and the force acting on the string material. FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the locking mechanism portion and the string material when the elevating unit is adjusted to the lowest position. It is the model which shows the relationship with force, and has shown the state of the string material when the raising / lowering part is adjusted to the highest position.

  3 and 5, the lock portion 43 has a lock pin 432 that protrudes from the front side of the housing 430 and is movable inward and outward. A knob that can be gripped by the operator is attached to the outer end of the lock pin 432. The lock pin 432 is constantly urged inward by an urging member such as a spring (not shown) provided in the housing 430. Although not visible in the drawing, the fixing portion 41 is formed with a through hole or a notch through which the inner end of the lock pin 432 passes. On the other hand, a plurality of engagement structures, here, engagement holes 422 are formed on the front side of the elevating unit 42 with a required interval in the vertical direction. The lock pin 432 is pulled forward by the operator, and the elevating part 42 has a desired height in the vertical direction (a position where the through hole or notch of the fixing part 41 and one of the engaging holes 422 of the elevating part 42 face each other). When the lock pin 432 is released in this state, the lock pin 432 is fitted into one engagement hole 422 of the lift part 42 via the fixing part 41. Thereby, the height position of the raising / lowering part 42 is adjusted and fixed. FIG. 3A shows a state in which the elevating part 42 is engaged with the lock pin 432 through the lowest engagement hole 422, and FIG. 3B shows that the elevating part 42 is engaged with the lock pin 432 through the uppermost engagement hole 422. The engaged state is shown.

  As shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 4, the string member 60 is detoured from the upper end of the elevating part 42 to the upper end of the elevating part 42 through the lower end of the fixing part 41, and further pulled out from the rear via the extending part 44. The side is hanging down. The pulley 41a is pivotally supported on the horizontal shaft at the lower end of the fixed portion 41. The pulley 42a also shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is pivotally supported on the horizontal shaft at the upper end of the elevating portion 42. The pulley 44a shown in FIG. The rear end of the extending portion 44 is supported by a horizontal axis. By these pulleys 41a, 42a, 44a, a detour structure is constructed in which the string member 60 is detoured up and down around the tether mechanism 40.

  The string member 60 has an elastic member 61 made of rubber or a resin material that is elastically deformed, here, expands and contracts by a predetermined length dimension on the base end side, and does not substantially expand or contract on the distal end side thereof. A cord member 62 that exhibits a smaller expansion and contraction than 61 is further provided on the distal end side of the cord member 62 with a lead 63 connected to the collar of the dog. A known connector for connecting the collar is attached to the tip of the lead 63. In addition, the string member 60 has a base end fixed to the upper end of the elevating unit 42 and a locking unit 601 and a locking unit 602 (fixed with small objects such as a sphere at two locations in the longitudinal direction). 7) is formed. In this embodiment, the locking portion 601 is provided near the knot between the elastic member 61 and the string member 62, and the locking portion 602 is near the knot between the string member 62 and the lead 63, that is, the dog on the traveling road naturally It is formed in the position which has the drooping dimension used as the state connected to.

  While the string member 60 is passed through the upper end of the fixed part 41, the stopper 41b that restricts the string member 60 from being pulled outward by contacting the locking part 601 is provided. In addition, the lower end of the extended portion 44 has a stopper 44b (see FIG. 7) that allows the string member 60 to pass therethrough and abuts against the locking portion 602 to restrict the drawing of the string member 60 forward. The length of the elastic member 61 is such that the pulling force acts on the string material 60 in a state where the elevating part 42 is at the lowest position and the engaging part 602 is in contact with the stopper 44b, that is, in a slightly extended state. Is set to a dimension. Therefore, in the state where the elevating part 42 is at a position higher than the lowest position, the detour of the string member 60 becomes long, and therefore the pulling force of the string member 60 in the released state (the state where the dog is not connected) is high. It grows depending on the size.

  In FIG. 4, the lead 63 can be pulled out until the locking portion 601 contacts the stopper 41b. Therefore, in the state where the lifting / lowering part 42 is at a position higher than the lowest position, the detour of the string member 60 becomes longer, so that the pulling force of the string member 60 at the maximum pull-out position increases according to the height of the lifting / lowering part 42. Become.

  8 and 9 are schematic diagrams for explaining the force acting on the lead. FIG. 8 shows the application in the case of a puppy with a short height, and FIG. 9 shows the application in the case of a large dog with a high height. What is necessary is just to adjust and adjust the height of the raising / lowering part 42 suitably with respect to the dog of the middle height.

  In FIG. 8, (a) is a state before connecting the puppy, and (b) is a state of the string material in a state where the puppy is connected. In the puppy, the collar is connected to the tip (attachment tool) of the lead 63 in the state shown in FIG. After the connection, as shown in (b), the lead 63 can be pulled out to a length L1 until the locking portion 601 comes into contact with the stopper 41b, and the puppy can move on the travel path within this length L1. . The pull-back force of the lead 63 becomes stronger as the pull-out dimension approaches the length L1, but since the extension of the elastic member 61 is small because the detour is short, in the case of a puppy, the required force is less than the length L1 although the force is weak. It is possible to move on the traveling road within the dimension range.

  In FIG. 9, (a) is a state before a large dog is connected, and (b) is a state of a string member in a state where a large dog is connected. In the large dog, the collar is connected to the lead 63 in the state shown in FIG. In this state, the detour length of the string member 60 is sufficiently longer than that in FIG. 8A, and therefore the elastic member 61 is further expanded as compared with FIG. 8A. After the connection, as shown in (b), the lead 63 can be pulled out to a length L2 (<L1) until the locking portion 601 comes into contact with the stopper 41b, and a large dog moves on the road within this L2 range. It becomes possible. As the pull-out dimension approaches the length L2, the pull-back force of the lead 63 increases. However, in the case of a large dog, the pulling force of the lead 63 is also strong, so that it is possible to move on the traveling road within the dimension range of the length L2.

  In this way, when puppies are connected in the state of FIG. 8, the pulling force of the string material 60 in the released state (FIG. 8A) is relatively small. When a large dog is connected in the state shown in FIG. 9 while the range is allowed to some extent, the pulling force of the string member 60 in the released state (FIG. 9A) is already large, The range of movement is controlled with a strong force and is relatively small compared to a puppy. Therefore, since it is considered that the force of the dog depends on the height of the dog, the pulling force of the string member 60 and the pulling stroke of the string member 60 are adjusted according to the height of the dog by adjusting the height of the elevating part 42 to the height of the dog. The force is set appropriately and the dog's movement can be automatically regulated with an appropriate force.

  Note that the present invention can employ the following modifications.

  (A) The locking portions 601 and 602 are not necessarily essential. The lengths of the string member 60 and the elastic member 61 may be set so that the elevating part 42 is at the top and the lead 63 is positioned outward from the pulley 44a.

  (B) In the above-described embodiment, the pulleys 41a, 42a, and 44a are adopted. However, the guide member may be a circular guide member having a low friction surface or a direction changing member such as a pipe bent at a required curvature. . In this way, the structure is simplified as much as there are no moving parts.

  (C) It is good also as a structure which replaces with the securing mechanism part 40, provides a rack and pinion mechanism, and adjusts the height of the raising / lowering part 42 by rotating the operation handle etc. which were connected with the axis | shaft of the pinion gear. Since the raising / lowering part 42 can be raised / lowered only by rotation operation, height adjustment operation becomes easy.

  (D) In place of the configuration in which the elevating unit 42 is slid, the height can be adjusted in the same manner as a structure that is suspended from a rotating member that rotates around a rotating shaft that is horizontally installed at a predetermined height position. .

  (E) The extending portion 44 is not necessarily provided. For example, if the upright part is tilted rearward, or if the upper half of the elevating part 42 is bent backward, the leading end of the string member 60 can be configured to hang down on the traveling path.

  (F) The elastic member 61 may not be provided on the proximal end side of the string member 60 and may be in the middle of the string member 60 in the length direction. In this case, a stopper structure that restricts the extension of the elastic member 61 may be disposed at an appropriate position where it acts in the same manner as in this embodiment.
