Description

  The present invention relates to a fence crossing prevention device for pets and the like for preventing animals such as pets from going out of a fence arranged on a site.

  Due to the recent pet boom, pets such as expensive dogs and cats are kept in ordinary households. Such pets, especially cats, are usually kept in the house, but keeping pets in the room all day is not good for the health of the pet and it also adds stress. So if you get out of the room and play in the garden, your pet may escape outside the garden, that is, outside the premises.

  Therefore, recently, in order to prevent pets from escaping outside the site, a fence is installed in the site to prevent the pet from escaping outside the fence. Even if it is a fence, if it uses a lattice or a panel like a fence to separate the site from the road, the sun will be blocked and the site will be darkened. It is considered that the sunlight spreads enough on the premises and indoors.

However, the net fence allows cats to put their feet on the net, so they can climb up the fence in the same way as climbing a tree and go outside the fence. Therefore, in the same way as a mousetrap used to prevent the invasion of harmful animals, the upper end of the fence is bent and inclined to the inside of the site so that the pet cannot get over the inclined upper end of the fence.

  However, even if the upper end of the fence is inclined to the inside of the site, the mesh of the net fence is a convenient structure for the pet, so the pet may get over the overhanging inclined portion. For this reason, although it was considered that the upper end portion of the fence was made to be a slippery panel, the net fence having a panel at the upper end portion has a problem that the appearance is impaired.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a fence crossing prevention device for pets and the like that can solve the above-described problems and reliably prevent the pet from crossing the fence.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the fence crossing prevention device for pets and the like according to the present invention is an elongated plate having no part that can be gripped in the middle from the upper end of the fence or the vicinity thereof so that animals such as pets do not enter and exit. It is characterized in that the plate-like plate protrudes inward or outward.

The surface of the plate is preferably a smooth surface.
It is preferable that the plate is attached while being inclined downward.

  The plate may be provided with elasticity. Further, the base of the plate may be fixed to the fence so that the mounting angle is constant.

Instead of projecting the plate to the inside or outside of the fence, the plate may be attached to both the inside and outside.

  The fence is preferably a net fence.

  The plate preferably has translucency.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the elongated plate-like plate having no part that can be gripped in the middle part protrudes from the upper end of the fence or the vicinity thereof, and there is no foot of an animal such as a pet. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent an animal such as a pet from going over or outside the fence. In addition, since the plate may be elongated, processing such as drilling is easy according to the width of the fence, and when it is placed in the site, it can be placed continuously even if the site shape is complex, so it can be used on the site. Good sex. Furthermore, since the fence and the plate are separate bodies, it is possible to construct a fence crossing prevention device for animals such as pets by attaching the plate to the existing fence.

  According to the invention of claim 3, since the plate is attached so as to incline downward, even if the animal tries to get over, it cannot support its own weight, so it gets over and goes outside or inside the fence. I can't.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the plate is elastic, even if a pet or the like tries to get over, the plate will bend with his / her own weight, so it cannot be overtaken.

According to the invention which concerns on Claim 6 , animals, such as a pet, cannot go out of a fence, and cannot penetrate | invade in.

According to the seventh aspect of the invention, since the fence is a net fence, the sunlight does not sufficiently hit the premises or indoors, and the inside of the fence does not become dark.

According to the invention which concerns on Claim 8 , since the translucent plate is not opaque and is not conspicuous from the outside, the external appearance appearance of the whole fence is good.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of an aspect in which a fence crossing prevention device such as a pet is installed on the fence. The fence 1 is installed in a part of the site so as to be a closed space together with the house 2. The fence 1 is provided with an entrance for people to enter and exit. The pet can get out of the room and play in the closed space S inside the fence 1.

  The fence 1 is a net fence, so that the sunlight is sufficiently applied to the premises and indoors. The net fence 1 is formed by connecting a plurality of planar fence bodies 3 having a basic size via pillars 4, and the fence bodies 3 and the pillars 4 are also coupled by a connecting metal fitting. Such a net fence 1 may be a known one.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the upper part of the fence 1 is provided so as to be inclined toward the inside of the site. Accordingly, the upper part of the support column 4 is also bent at the same angle. The fence body 3 is composed of a vertical fence body 3 a and an inclined fence body 3 b at an upper portion thereof, and the upper fence body 3 a is narrow and is connected to the bent portion 4 a of the support column 4 via a connection fitting 5. As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the connecting metal fitting 5 is composed of a pair of metal fittings 5a arranged on both the inside and outside of the support column 4. The fence body 3 is sandwiched between the metal fittings 5a and fixed with screws. is doing.

  Next, an elongated plate-like plate 6 is attached so as to protrude from the vicinity of the upper end of the fence 1 to the inside of the site. Here, the plate 6 is made of a light-transmitting material such as polycarbonate or glass. Moreover, the plate 6 is attached so that the tip side is inclined lower than the base portion. That is, one piece 7a of the long L-shaped mounting bracket 7 is fixed to the inside of the inclined portion by screwing via a screw holder 8. Next, a translucent transparent or translucent plate 6 such as polycarbonate or acrylic is screwed to the other piece 7 b of the mounting bracket 7.

  Note that the bending angle of the upper bent portion of the support column 4 is about 30 degrees, and the plate 6 may be inclined to the right angle with respect to the bent portion 4 a of the support column 4. The width of the plate 6 may be about 150 mm. Furthermore, the plate 6 should just be attached to the site | part of about 200-300 mm from the lower end of the inclined upper fence body 3b. The gap between the lower fence body 3 and the ground is made sufficiently small.

  The plate 6 is formed to be continuous with the other plate 6 at the portion of the column 4. The portion of the adjacent plate 6 that hits the column 4 is cut obliquely, and the other end face 10 except the cutout 9 is abutted.

  By the way, when the plates 6 are continuous in a straight line, the end surfaces of the adjacent plates 6 are formed at right angles to the longitudinal direction. When the plates 6 form an angle, for example, when the adjacent plates 6 form an entrance corner as shown in FIG. 6 or when the adjacent plates 6 form an exit corner as shown in FIG. The end face 10 is cut at an obtuse angle or an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal direction so as to abut. In this way, the plate 6 is continuous without interruption.

  The plate 6 may be disposed so as to protrude from the upper end of the fence 1 to the inside of the site.

  According to the fence crossing prevention device described above, the elongated plate-like plate 6 protrudes from the upper end of the fence 1 or the vicinity thereof to the inside of the site. For this reason, even if an animal such as a pet climbs up the net fence 1 and reaches the plate 6, the pet has to climb over the plate 6 from the bottom to move further. However, since the surface of the plate 6 is a smooth surface, there is no foothold. In addition, since the plate 6 is attached so that the tip side is lower than the base and is inclined downward, even if the pet tries to get over, it cannot support its own weight when there is no leg, so it can get over. Can not. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent a pet or the like from exceeding the fence 1.

  Further, since the plate may be elongated, processing such as drilling (to fasten the screw to the mounting bracket 7) according to the width of the fence is easy.

  Furthermore, when arrange | positioning in a site, even if a site shape is complicated, since it can arrange continuously, site compatibility is good.

  Moreover, since the upper part of the fence 1 is inclined to the inside of the site, the pet must be held on the plate 6 in a face-up state, and it becomes more difficult to get over the fence 1.

  Furthermore, since the fence 1 is a net fence, the sun light sufficiently hits the premises or indoors, and the plate 6 is not opaque but translucent, so that the inside of the fence 1 does not become dark.

  Moreover, since the plate 6 is translucent and is not conspicuous from the outside, the appearance of the entire fence is good. However, the plate 6 is not necessarily limited to one having translucency.

  In addition, the fence crossing prevention device such as the pet is not necessarily limited to the example provided in the site. You may install in parks.

  Next, FIG. 8 shows another example of the fence crossing prevention device such as a pet, and is an example in which the support column 4 and the fence body 3 are vertically arranged to the upper end. It is possible to prevent exceeding.

  FIG. 9 shows an example in which the plate 6 has elasticity and is provided horizontally. Even if the plate 6 is horizontal, there is elasticity, so even if a pet or the like tries to get over, the plate 6 will be bent by its own weight, so it can not get over.

  FIG. 10 shows the plate 6 arranged on both sides of the fence 1. According to this configuration, an animal such as a pet cannot go out or enter inside.

  In FIG. 11, the elastic plate 6 is provided horizontally, and the plate 6 having the same configuration is arranged on both sides of the fence 1. Even with this configuration, the plate 6 bends when a load is applied thereto, so that an animal such as a pet cannot go out or enter inside.

It is the top view which showed typically the fence which concerns on this invention. 1 is a front view of a part of a fence crossing prevention device such as a pet according to the present invention.
