Description

  The present invention relates to a pet feed ball in which feed and sweets can be put, and in particular, a pet feed ball that has a simple structure that attracts pets by rolling out food out of the sphere, and that combines play and exercise. Concerning structure.

  Keeping pets is generally considered part of relaxation and can increase the enjoyment of life. The American Pet Food Association and Taiwan University Statistics Department surveyed “Taiwan Pet Health City” and found that 30% of owners play with their pets on average for more than 5 hours a day in a busy lifestyle. At that time, balls attract the most pets.

  Current pet balls have a function that emits a sound, which draws the attention of the pet. However, not all pets like balls, so there are companies that have developed products with holes in the balls so that food can be put inside. Increase the amount of exercise and workout, for example by attracting and chasing pets by putting food inside. In addition, when the owner opens the pet bowl, the owner can immediately take out the food and eat it or treat it.

  However, pet balls also have food incentives, but if pets discover that they can't take out their own food from the sphere, even if they search several times, they gradually lose the fun of playing with curiosity and chase the ball, or In order to stop playing, it was necessary to make further improvements.

JP 2002-119166 A

  In order to solve the drawbacks of the prior art, the main object of the present invention is to provide a pet feed bowl that combines play and exercise, in addition to a simple structure.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned object, the invention of claim 1 provides a pet food ball, which includes a hollow sphere and a slide lid, and has at least one hole in the surface of the hollow sphere, By providing a rod and providing a spiral ladder portion on the rod, the feed rolls along the spiral ladder portion in the sphere after being introduced from the hole in the sphere. The slide lid is movably engaged with the sphere, and is similarly provided with a hole so that when the slide lid is rotated to a certain angle, the hole of the sphere is closed, and when the slide lid is rotated to another angle, it corresponds to the hole of the sphere. It is characterized by that.

  The invention of claim 2 is the structure of the pet feed ball according to claim 1, wherein the sphere includes an upper sphere part and a lower sphere part, and the upper and lower sphere parts can be relatively engaged and fixed, Both ends of the rod are fixed to upper and lower spheres, respectively.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the structure of the pet feed ball according to the first aspect, the hollow sphere is provided with one large and one small hole, and a single hole can be closed by rotating the slide lid. Features.

  The invention of claim 4 is the structure of the pet feed ball according to claim 1, wherein a concave portion is provided on the surface of the sphere, and the slide lid is put on the concave portion so as to be coupled, The hole is installed in the recessed portion.

  According to the pet food ball of the present invention, by providing a hole in the sphere and the slide lid, and by providing a rod and a spiral ladder part inside the sphere, when the feed is introduced from the hole in the sphere, the spiral shape in the sphere Rolling along the ladder and rotating to a certain angle with the sphere and slide lid, the feed can roll out of the sphere.

It is a three-dimensional external view of the pet feed ball in the present invention. FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing a state in which a hole and a large hole of the slide lid of the present invention correspond to each other. FIG. 6 is a schematic view of a state in which a hole of a slide lid of the present invention corresponds to a small hole of a sphere. It is the schematic of the state which the hole of a slide lid of this invention and a large hole correspond, and inject | pour a feed into a sphere from a large hole. It is a three-dimensional external view at the time of the hole and small hole of the slide lid of this invention corresponding. It is the schematic of the state which the hole of a slide lid respond | corresponds and the feed rolls out of a sphere after rotation of the sphere of the Example of this invention.

  In order to clearly show the structure of the pet food bowl according to the present invention, a detailed description will be given along figures and symbols.

  1 to 6 show an embodiment of a pet feed ball according to the present invention, which includes a hollow sphere 1 and a slide lid 2.

  The hollow sphere 1 includes an upper sphere portion 11 and a lower sphere portion 12, and the upper and lower sphere portions 11 and 12 are engaged with each other so as to be relatively rotatable and fixed to each other. At least one hole 10 is provided in the hollow sphere 1, and a large hole 101 and a small hole 102 are provided in this embodiment. A rod 13 is provided in the sphere 1 and both ends of the rod 13 are fixed to the upper and lower spheres 11 and 12, respectively. By providing the rod 13 with a spiral ladder 131, the feed 3 rolls in along the spiral ladder 131 inside the sphere 1 after the feed 3 is introduced through the hole 10 in the sphere 1.

  Further, by providing the concave portion 14 on the surface of the sphere 1, the slide lid 2 can be movably rotated even after the slide lid 2 is put on the concave portion 14 and joined, and the large and small holes 101 and 102 are formed in the concave portion 14. Provide. Since the slide lid 2 is also provided with one hole 21, if the slide lid 2 is rotated to an angle, the large hole 101 or the small hole 102 in the sphere 1 can be closed, and if the slide lid 2 is rotated to a different angle, the slide lid 2 is closed. The hole 21 in the lid 2 corresponds to the large hole 101 or the small hole 102 in the sphere. Here, as illustrated, the hole 21 of the slide lid 2 is at least larger than the large hole 101.

  In use, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the user rotates the slide lid 2 to close the large hole 101 or the small hole 102 according to the size of the feed 3 or the candy. If the feed 3 or the candy is relatively large, if the small hole 102 is closed, the feed 3 or the candy can easily fall off the sphere 1. If the large hole 101 is closed for a relatively small feed 3 or candy, a large amount of the feed 3 or candy falls off the sphere 1. Therefore, after the feed 3 or the candy is put into the sphere 1, when the pet rolls or jumps the sphere 1, the feed 3 or the candy in the sphere 1 jumps and the stick 13 in the sphere 1 Since it rolls on the ladder part 131, a sound is generated and the pet's interest is attracted. When the sphere 1 is rotated at a certain angle at the same time, the feed 3 or the candy comes out of the sphere 1 so that the pet can eat the ration 3 or the candy while playing. Can do.

  The detailed description of the present invention according to the above embodiments does not limit the scope of the present invention. Those who are familiar with this technology can make appropriate changes and adjustments, such as changes in the fixing structure, and these changes and adjustments do not lose the significance of the present invention and are included in the scope of the present invention. It is.
