Description

  The present invention relates to a cat tower, and more particularly, to a cat tower in which a drawer is provided in a lower space of a step plate on which a cat steps with his / her foot to improve space utilization.

  In general, cats living together with humans are raised indoors, and their activities are restricted in a small space, which tends to cause obesity due to lack of exercise and stress. In order to relieve such cat's lack of exercise and stress, a tower type play equipment is installed, and the cat tower where the cat is active while moving up and down freely has been proposed and used. It is roughly divided into two methods.

  That is, the conventional cat tower has a column system in which a step plate is coupled and installed on the column after supporting the column on the floor and ceiling, and a pole that is coupled and installed on a weight body supported on the floor. It can be divided into a standing pole system where a step plate is coupled and installed.

  First, the prior art using the prop system includes, for example, a cat playing device of Patent Document 1 and a cat play equipment of Patent Document 2, and this conventional technology facilitates the adjustment of the height of the prop in a multi-stage format. In addition, it is possible to install at various separation distances without being limited by the separation distance between the floor and the ceiling, and in particular, Patent Document 1 installs a step plate between the columns that are coupled and installed in multiple stages. Of course, the step plates of the support columns installed one after the other in the horizontal direction can be rotated in a specific direction so that the installation state can be changed in a limited manner.

  Further, as a conventional technique using the standing pole method, for example, there is a play facility for pet animals of Patent Document 3, and this conventional technique has a standing pole installed on a weight body supported by a floor, and a step is provided on the standing pole. In this configuration, the plates are coupled and installed.

  However, since the conventional cat tower described above performs only the function of the play equipment used by the cat, the space occupied by the cat tower is a useless space for humans. In other words, the cat tower is a structure that allows the cat to climb to a high position, so step plates arranged continuously from the lower stage to the upper stage are arranged stepwise, and the lower part of such a step board This space is merely used for the purpose of supporting the step plate, and is not used for any other purpose. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the utilization of the indoor space becomes very low.

A perspective view and a horizontal sectional view of a toilet container included in a cat tower according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a cat tower according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cat tower according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the cat tower according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a first embodiment of the present invention. It is a rear surface perspective view of the cat tower by form.

  In general, cats and animals (hereinafter abbreviated as ｀ cats') have the habit of climbing high places like tree branches, and there is no such high structure in ordinary households. It becomes difficult to satisfy the cat's habits, so that even the cat is stressed. In order to satisfy the cat's habits, the cat tower has a structure similar to the stairs so that the cat can climb in stages, and the top layer is made higher than a person's back However, the conventional cat tower simply serves as a structure for a cat to climb, and the space in which the cat tower is installed is a space that is not used by humans.

  In order to solve such problems, the cat tower according to the present invention is made high so that the cat can climb to a high point, and the lower space is configured so that a person can use it for furniture. There is a feature in that. That is, the cat tower according to the present invention includes at least one drawer 100 having a flat upper surface and a plate shape having a flat upper surface, as shown in FIGS. In addition, it includes two or more step plates 200 arranged in a staircase pattern so that the cat can step on and climb, and a fixing plate 300 that couples the step plates 200 to the drawer 100.

  Therefore, the cat can step on the upper surface of the drawer 100 and the step board 200 in order and climb up to the uppermost layer of the cat tower, so that a high place can satisfy the favorite habits. The lower part can be used as furniture such as the drawer 100. That is, the cat tower according to the present invention does not waste the lower space of the step plate 200 as an empty space, and a large number of drawers 100 are installed in the lower space of the step plate 200. There is an advantage that the sex becomes very high.

  In other words, when the conventional cat tower is used, the lower space of the step plate is left as an empty space. However, when the cat tower according to the present invention is used, the lower portion of the step plate 200 is pulled out as shown in FIG. Since it can be used as simple furniture, there is an advantage that the indoor space can be used efficiently.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, only the case where the drawer 100 is configured to have a structure having a slide-type drawer or a structure having a sliding door structure so that a person can store clothes, goods and the like is shown. The structure of the drawer 100 can be replaced with any structure that can store clothes and various articles.

  In addition, the number, separation distance, arrangement direction, and the like of the step board 200 can be freely changed according to various conditions such as the type, age, and physical characteristics of the cat. The material of the step board 200 can be wood or synthetic material. Various applications such as resin and woven fabric can be applied.

  The fixing plates 300 are provided in pairs parallel to each other so that both sides of the step plate 200 can be fixed, and stand vertically along the outer surface of the drawer 100 so as to minimize the total installation area of the cat tower. It is preferable to install. That is, any one of the pair of fixing plates 300 is disposed so as to form one plane with the front surface of the chest 110, and the other one fixing plate 300 is connected to the rear surface of the chest 110. It is preferable that they are arranged so as to form one plane. If the pair of fixing plates 300 are arranged in parallel as described above, the step plate 200 can be firmly fixed in position by being inserted and installed between the pair of fixing plates 300.

  On the other hand, the cat has not only an instinct to climb to a high place, but also a habit of liking to hide in a deep place, so the space surrounded by the pair of fixed plates 300 and the step plate 200 It can be used as a space where cats can hide. For example, as shown in the present embodiment, a vertical plate 400 that is manufactured in a vertically standing flat plate shape and is inserted and installed between one end of the step plate 200 and the pair of fixed plates 300 is provided. Furthermore, it can comprise. Of course, the vertical plate 400 must be provided with a moving passage 410 so that a cat can pass therethrough.

  Thus, if the vertical plate 400 is installed between one side end of the step plate 200 and the pair of fixed plates 300, the cat is surrounded by the pair of fixed plates 300, the step plate 200 and the vertical plate 400. The cat tower according to the present invention can satisfy both the habits of a cat who wants to climb higher and the habits of a cat who wants to hide in a closed space, because it can hide in space. There is an advantage that the degree becomes very high. At this time, the space surrounded by the pair of fixing plate 300, the step plate 200 and the vertical plate 400 can be ventilated to the outside, and the space in which the cat is contained can be easily recognized from the outside. The fixing plate 300 is preferably provided with a large number of through holes 310. On the other hand, the through-hole 310 can be appropriately set in size, position and shape so that the cat can also act as a step part that the cat steps on with his feet.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a cat tower according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a front view of the cat tower according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a second embodiment of the present invention. It is a rear surface perspective view of the cat tower by a form.

  The cat tower according to the present invention may be configured to include not only the drawer 100 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 but also a chest 110 having a high height as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. That is, the cat tower according to the present invention is made higher than the drawer 100, and the upper surface is formed in a flat shape so that a cat can sit or stand, and a chest 110 attached to one side of the drawer 100 is further provided. In addition, the step plate 200 is installed in a staircase form from the upper surface of the drawer 100 to the upper surface of the chest 110 so that the cat can climb from the upper surface of the drawer 100 to the upper surface of the chest 110. At this time, the drawer 100 and the chest 110 are arranged so that the front surface and the rear surface coincide with each other, that is, form a single plane, as shown in the present embodiment, so that the installation area of the cat tower is minimized. Preferably it is comprised.

  In this way, if the chest 110 is configured to have a height higher than that of the drawer 100, the cat uses the upper surface of the chest 110 as the uppermost step plate 200. Since it can be used as a space used by humans (more specifically, the usage of the chest 110), there is an advantage that the utilization of the indoor space becomes very high.

  That is, when a lot of space where the cat can hide is necessary, the space below the step board 200 is utilized as a space where the cat can hide, as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. If the space where the cat can hide is not so necessary, the space used by the person in the cat tower can be expanded by installing the chest 110 as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. Can be made.

  In addition, the drawer 100 included in the present invention is not necessarily located at the lowermost position, and, as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. You may have. If the drawer 100 is provided between the two step plates 200 in this way, the cat can be used for climbing on the upper surface of the drawer 100, that is, for the use of the step plate 200. There is an advantage that the utilization of the lower space is further enhanced.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a cat tower according to a third embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 8 is a front view of the cat tower according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. It is the perspective view and horizontal sectional view of the toilet container 500 contained in the cat tower by 3rd Embodiment.

  The cat tower according to the present invention can utilize the lower space of the step board 200 not only as a drawer 100 used by a person but also as a structure used by a cat. For example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the cat tower according to the present invention further includes a toilet container 500 that is manufactured in a rectangular parallelepiped box shape and is connected to the upper side or the lower side of the drawer 100 in a laminated structure.

The entrance / exit plate 530 is provided on one side of the space located above the point where the horizontal bar 510 is installed, and is provided with an entrance / exit hole 532 of a size capable of entering / exiting a cat, and on the floor of the toilet container 500. It is composed of cat sand that is laminated. When the cat intends to use the toilet container 500 configured as described above, the cat enters the upper space of the horizontal bar 510 through the access hole 532 of the access plate 530 and then passes through the opening 520 where the horizontal bar 510 does not exist. By entering the floor of the toilet container 500, the cat sand can be used.

  In general, while the cat adds to the cat sand, the cat sand sticks to the cat's feet, so that the cat sand in the process of leaving the toilet container 500 and stepping on the floor of the room. There may be a problem of falling on the floor of the room and making the room dirty. However, when the toilet container 500 according to the present invention is used, the cat's paws in the process of jumping on the horizontal bar 510, walking on the horizontal bar 510, and passing through the access hole 532 are used. Since most of the cat sand on the floor falls to the bottom of the toilet container 500, there is an advantage that the cat sand hardly falls on the floor of the room.

  As shown in the present embodiment, if the toilet container 500 is configured to be positioned below the drawer 100, it is not necessary to secure a separate installation space for the cat toilet, so that the utilization of the indoor space is extremely high. It has the advantage of being excellent. At this time, the toilet container 500 may be positioned at the lowermost position or between the two drawers 100 as illustrated in the present embodiment, and may be positioned on the uppermost side of the stacked drawers 100. May be located.

  On the other hand, a large number of step plates 200 for a cat to step on may be arranged so as to be spaced upward from the upper side of the drawer 100 as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. As shown in the form, it may be coupled to the side of the chest 110. In particular, when a large number of chests 110 are stacked and the upper surface of the uppermost chest 110 is positioned very high, the multiple steps are performed so that a cat on the floor can climb up to the upper surface of the uppermost chest 110. The plate 200 may be mounted on one side of the chest 110 and arranged in a zigzag pattern. Of course, when the toilet container 500 is located under the chest 110, the step plate 200 may be mounted on the toilet container 500. In addition, when the step plate 200 is coupled to the side surface of the toilet container 500 or the chest 110, the fixing plate 300 for fixing the step plate 200 supports the bottom surface of the step plate 200 as shown in the present embodiment. It may be configured to.
