JP3240586U - Perch structure with elasticity like natural branches - Google Patents

Abstract

A perch structure having elasticity like a natural branch when a bird or animal perches is obtained as a perch for a pet bird or animal. A column (2) rises vertically from a base (1), gently curves toward the rear side at a first curved portion (10), and curves greatly toward the front side at a second curved portion (11). The branch 3 is detachably attached to the tip of the support 2 along its extension line. With this perch structure, when a bird or beast rests on a branch, the two curved parts of the post bend to obtain elasticity like that of a natural branch. [Selection drawing] Fig. 1

Description

The present invention relates to a perch structure that has elasticity like a natural branch when birds and animals perch, and that can be easily disassembled and assembled.

A perch is a tool that allows a pet such as a bird to stay there when it is taken out of a breeding cage. there is
As a general perch structure, as shown in FIG. 7, a post made of a round wooden bar is screwed to the base, and a T-shaped branch is screwed thereon.
A pet perch structure is registered in Japanese Patent No. 3206136 (Patent Document 1). It is made to be assembled.

Japanese Patent No. 3206136

A general T-shaped perch as shown in FIG. 7 has a branch 16 fixed at right angles to the tip of a support 15 extending vertically from the center of a base 14. Not only does it lack the elasticity of natural branches, it feels stiff when it stops, and the impact when it stops is a burden on the feet of particularly heavy elderly birds and beasts.

In the present invention, the support is curved in two stages and has a structure in which the support flexes when force is applied to the branch, thereby reproducing the elastic stopping feeling of a natural branch and allowing birds and beasts to enjoy the branch. To provide a perch having an effect of reducing a burden on a leg when perching on a part.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes a base, a support that rises from the base and gently curves toward the back side and then greatly curves toward the front side, and is detachably attached at the tip of the support along its extension line. and a branch portion.

Furthermore, in consideration of the sinking of the branch when the bird or animal stops, the tip of the support may be configured to have a slightly upward angle with respect to the horizontal.

According to the present invention, when a bird or beast rests on this perch, it acquires elasticity like a natural branch. Furthermore, the effect of reducing the burden on the foot due to the impact when stopping is obtained.

Perspective view showing a typical perch

As one embodiment of the present invention, a table-mounted perch is shown in FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG. The perch consists of a base 1, a support 2 and a branch part 3.

The base consists of a plate 4, a stand 5 and a cork sheet 6. The stand has a hole for inserting the support, but the shape of the hole is a regular octagon as shown in FIG. 5 in order to prevent the support from rotating. The base plate is porcelain, the stand is made of thermoplastic resin, and the stand is glued to the plate. The plate serves as a catcher for bird and animal excrement and as a weight to prevent the entire perch from tipping over. , may be made of wood. The stand may also be made of porcelain, earthenware, metal or wood. A cork sheet is pasted on the back of the base to prevent slipping, but feet made of silicon or rubber may be pasted to prevent slipping.

The tip of the post is provided with a female screw for screwing the branch. In this embodiment, a thermoplastic resin is used for the material of the strut, so an insert nut 7 is thermally press-fitted to the tip of the strut. In addition, the lower end is inserted into a regular octagonal hole provided in the stand, but in order to prevent it from rotating, as shown in FIG. The struts are preferably of elastic material and may be made of metal, wood or bamboo.

The branches are provided with male threads for screwing to the posts. In this embodiment, a hanger bolt 8 is attached to the base. In this embodiment, the branches are made of processed wood, but natural branches may be used as they are.

In order to reproduce the resilience of natural branches in the branches, the post is gently curved toward the back side at the first curved portion 10, and curved greatly to the front side at the second curved portion 11. . In addition, considering that the branches will sink when the bird or animal stops, the tip of the post is designed to have an upward angle of 5 to 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

In this embodiment, the structure is such that the branch portions form an angle of 5 to 15 degrees, but this angle may be increased to about 45 degrees depending on the design. However, as the angle increases, the bending of the support decreases and the entire perch becomes more likely to tip over, so it is necessary to determine the angle while checking the balance.

In this embodiment, since the branches have upper and lower surfaces in terms of design, the washers 9 are not only normal flat washers, but also adjusting washers with half the thickness of the screw pitch and elastic silicon rubber washers. The position of the upper surface of the branch can be adjusted by the presence or absence of the adjustment washer and the crushing margin of the silicon rubber washer.

In this embodiment, the base, the support, and the branch can be easily separated by loosening the screw, removing the branch from the support, and pulling the support from the stand. This provides convenience when cleaning the perch or when carrying it.

Since the branch can be easily attached and detached with screws, the user can easily replace it with a branch made of a desired wood and shape.

Next, a wall-mounted perch will be described as a second embodiment of the present invention. The wall-mounted perch of Example 2 is also basically the same as that of Example 1. Therefore, in the following description, the points of difference between the two will be mainly described, and the description of the similar portions will be omitted. Also, portions corresponding to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.

The perch consists of a stand 12, a support 2 and a branch part 3, and the stand is fixed to a wall surface or a window glass surface 13 with a double-faced tape. The fixing method is not limited to double-faced tape, and screws, magnets, and hook structures may also be used.

In Example 1, the stand was adhered to the base, but in this example, the stand is fixed to a vertical wall surface, so the hole for inserting the support column is made at an angle of 40 to 50 degrees with respect to the wall. . The shape of the hole and the material of the stand are the same as in the first embodiment.

In Example 1, the perch is used on a table or the like, but the advantage of this example is that the perch can be attached to any wall or windowpane.
