Description

  The present invention relates to a flea removing comb that can pick up and house pet fleas.

  When a large number of fleas infest a pet, the pet may become anemic due to the sucking of fleas. Some pets also show allergic symptoms due to the presence of fleas. Therefore, the owner removes fleas from the pet using a flea comb.

  The owner disposes fleas by combing fleas with a flea-removing comb to capture fleas, catching fleas picked up with the comb-tooth of the flea-removing comb and killing them. However, in the conventional flea removal comb, it is necessary to dispose fleas every time the pet's hair is combed. In addition, even if the fleas are picked up with a flea removal comb, the fleas sometimes escape when disposed. The fleas that have escaped may infest the pet again, and as a result, the flea removal operation may be wasted.

Thus, a flea removal comb has been proposed that can pick up fleas from a pet and accommodate the fleas (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 9-37672 A

  The flea removing comb described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a flea accommodating cover for accommodating fleas at the base of the comb tooth portion so that the fleas picked up by the comb tooth portion are confined in the flea accommodating cover. It is configured. Thereby, since the fleas collected can be confined in the flea accommodation cover, fleeing escape can be prevented.

  However, since the flea removing comb described in Patent Document 1 is not provided with a handle from one side of the main body, it is not easy to use, and the flea removing comb cannot be delicately moved using the wrist. was there.

  Therefore, it is also conceivable to provide a flea storage cover on a flea-removing comb with a handle.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining how to use the flea comb with a handle provided with a flea storage cover.

  The flea removing comb 100 with a handle can make the wrist snap, so that the flea removing comb 100 can be moved delicately. However, when such a flea storage cover 104 is provided, when the pet's hair is combed, the side to which the flea storage cover 104 is not attached must always be directed to the pet's body. There was a problem that the comb 100 could only be moved in one direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a flea removing comb 100 in which a flea storage cover 104 is provided on the upper surface when the handle 103 is directed toward the back of the pet and the comb teeth 128 are directed toward the tail of the pet. In this case, when the flea removing comb 100 is used, the flea removing comb 100 can be moved in the direction of the tail of the pet as shown by an arrow in FIG. There is a disadvantage that it is difficult to move the pet toward the head of the pet.

  When pet hairs are combed, the flea removing comb 100 is moved in all directions, so that it was not useful to comb the fleas only in one direction.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a flea-removing comb that is easy to use and can accommodate the fleas collected without escaping.

A flea removing comb according to the present invention includes a comb body provided with a comb tooth portion for scraping fleas on one end surface and a handle provided on one side surface, and a flea housing case configured to be detachable from the comb body. The comb main body includes a flea accommodating recess for accommodating fleas scraped by the comb tooth portions on both front and back surfaces, and the flea accommodating case is attached to the comb main body. when the chisel receiving plate for receiving the comb taken flea by the comb tooth faces on either side of the comb tooth temporarily formed by extending from one end of the chisel receiving plate, the two One of the flea accommodating recesses, which has a lid portion that can be selectively fitted with the flea accommodating recess, and the flea received by the flea receiving portion is fitted with the lid portion by the lid portion This is characterized in that it is guided and confined to the flea accommodating recess .

  According to the present invention, the comb body is provided with a handle on one side thereof, the comb teeth portion and the handle are parallel, and the handle is in such a positional relationship with respect to the comb body. You can use it to delicately move the flea comb. Further, the comb body has flea accommodating recesses formed on both front and back sides, and the flea accommodating case has lids that can be fitted to the flea accommodating recesses formed on both front and back surfaces of the comb body. Therefore, the lid part of the flea storage case can be fitted into any flea storage recess, so that the direction of combing the pet's hair can be changed only by changing the mounting mode of the flea storage case with respect to the comb body. (For example, the directions opposite to each other, such as the head direction or the tail direction of the pet), it is possible to cope with it, and the fleas picked up by the flea removing comb can be reliably accommodated in the flea accommodating recess. That is, according to this configuration, the fleas collected can be reliably accommodated without missing, and the flea removal comb can be used with ease.

  According to the flea removal comb according to the present invention, the flea removal comb can be picked up by delicately moving the flea removal comb while holding the handle while appropriately changing the pet's hair combing direction. The fleas picked up can be reliably accommodated in the flea accommodating recess.

  The flea storage case 4 includes a flea receiving plate 5 that receives fleas, and a lid 6 that guides the fleas collected to the flea storage recess 27 and confines the fleas, and is detachably attached to the comb body 2. It is configured as follows. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the engaging means for detachably mounting the flea housing case 4 to the comb body 2 is configured as an engaging portion 8 that engages with the main body portion 21.

  In the present embodiment, the flea storage case 4 has a lid portion 6 and an engaging portion 8 arranged in a bifurcated shape, and the comb body 2 is sandwiched between the lid portion 6 and the engaging portion 8. The flea storage case 4 can be attached to the comb main body 2, and the flea receiving plate 5 is arranged so as to face one side of the comb tooth portion 28 and the flea storage space 42 is secured. In this way, the lid 6 is configured to be disposed on the upper part of the flea accommodating recess 27.

  In addition, the flea accommodating case 4 may be formed by integrally forming the flea receiving plate 5, the lid portion 6, and the engaging portion 8, or may be joined after they are formed separately.

  The chisel receiving plate 5 temporarily receives the chisel picked up by the comb tooth portion 28 and is formed so as to face any one surface of the comb tooth portion 28.

  Specifically, it is formed of a member that allows the fleas to be visually recognized from the outside, for example, a transparent plastic plate, and is arranged with an interval through which the fleas can be inserted from the comb tooth portion 28. An interval between the flea receiving plate 5 and the comb tooth portion 28 is set to about 1 to 3 mm so that pet hair and fleas can easily pass therethrough.

  The lid 6 is formed to extend from one end of the flea receiving plate 5, and is formed as a lid for guiding the flea received by the flea receiving plate 5 to the flea receiving recess 27 and confining the flea in the flea receiving recess 27. ing. Specifically, the lid 6 is configured to be disposed on the upper part of any one of the flea accommodating recesses 27 provided in the main body 21 when the flea accommodating case 4 is attached to the main body 21. .

Further, the engaging portion 8 is formed in the same shape as the lid portion 6. In other words, the flea storage case 4 has a bifurcated lid portion 6 and an engaging portion 8 having the same shape between the two side plates 7 and 7, and the elastic force of the lid portion 6 and the engaging portion 8. Thus, the main body portion 21 is detachably sandwiched between the lid portion 6 and the engaging portion 8.

  In addition, an engaging convex portion 83 that engages with the engaging concave portion 34 is formed on the inner side surface 82 of the engaging portion 8 in the same manner as the engaging convex portion 63 is provided on the inner side surface 62 of the lid portion 6. Has been. The engagement protrusion 83 is provided at a position symmetrical to the engagement protrusion 63 of the lid 6 with respect to the center plane 45.

  Furthermore, a plurality of anti-slip protrusions 43 are provided on the outer surface 84 of the engaging portion 8 of the flea housing case 4. Thereby, since the slip of the flea storage case 4 can be prevented, the flea storage case 4 can be easily detached from the main body 21.

  According to the structure of the flea storage case 4 described above, when the flea storage case 4 is attached to the main body portion 21, the engaging convex portion 63 of the lid portion 6 is engaged with the engaging concave portion 34, and the engaging portion 8 is Since the engaging convex part 83 can also be engaged with the engaging concave part 34 of the main body part 21, the flea storage case 4 can be reliably positioned and fixed with respect to the main body part 21. Further, since the two engaging recesses 34 and 34 are formed symmetrically with respect to the center surface 33, the lid portion 6 is attached to the main body by attaching the flea housing case 4 to the main body portion 21 in a different direction. Regardless of the flea accommodating recess 27 of the portion 21, the lid 6 can be disposed at a predetermined position with respect to each flea accommodating recess 27. Further, since the engaging convex portions 63 and 83 are formed at positions symmetrical with respect to the center plane 45, the engaging convex portions 63 and 83 are engaged with any of the engaging concave portions 34 and 34. be able to. In other words, since the engaging protrusions 63 and the engaging protrusions 83 are not provided with separate engaging recesses, but are also used as the engaging recesses, the design can be improved.

  In addition, the engaging part 8 shown in FIG. 4 is an example of embodiment, Comprising: Another form may be sufficient.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing another example of the flea storage case of the flea removing comb according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The engaging means for engaging the flea storage case 4 with the comb main body 2 has a structure like the engaging portion 8, that is, a structure in which the main body portion 21 is sandwiched in cooperation with the lid portion 6. It is not limited to that. For example, the engaging means may be configured as an insertion pin that is inserted into the insertion hole of the main body 21. Specifically, the insertion holes are formed at both ends of the comb tooth portion 28 of the one end surface 24 of the main body portion 21, and the insertion pins are provided in the flea housing case 4 as pins that are removably inserted into the insertion holes. . Further, the engaging means may be a clip that can be freely opened and closed and engaged with the main body 21. These engaging means are configured so that when the flea storage case 4 is attached to the main body portion 21, the lid portion 6 is not limited to any one of the front and back surfaces 25, 25 of the main body portion 21. It is comprised so that it can be made to fit in the accommodation recessed part 27. FIG.

  Next, a method for scooping fleas using the flea removing comb 1 described above and a process until the fleas are accommodated will be described.

  First, hold the flea removal comb 1 with your dominant hand and determine the direction to comb your pet's hair. When the direction in which the hair is combed is determined, the comb tooth portion 28 is directed in the direction. At this time, the flea storage case 4 is mounted on the main body 21 so that the lid 6 is disposed in the flea storage recess 27 facing upward (located on the opposite side of the pet's body). When the flea removing comb 1 is moved in a predetermined direction in such a state, the pet's hair passes through the space between the comb tooth portion 28 and the flea receiving plate 5 and separates from the interval between the comb teeth 28b, 28b. It flows like. When fleas are present in the pet hair, fleas are captured between the comb teeth 28 and the flea receiving plate 5. The fleas picked up in this manner are prevented from jumping due to the presence of the flea receiving plate 5, and fleas are prevented from escaping. Then, the flea is received in the flea receiving recess 27 through the communication portion 41. Thereby, since a flea is confine | sealed in the flea accommodating space 42, the flea can be disposed of reliably. Moreover, since the flea accommodating recess 27 is sealed by the lid portion 6 and the flea cannot escape, the pet's hair can be combed continuously until the flea accommodating recess 27 is full, and the flea removing operation is performed efficiently. It can be performed.

  When changing the direction of combing pet hair, the flea storage case 4 is removed from the comb body 2, the fleas are removed, and the flea storage case 4 is mounted in the opposite direction. In this way, the flea receiving plate 5 is arranged so as to face the other surface of the comb tooth portion 28 and the other flea accommodating recess 27 of the main body portion 21 is sealed by the lid portion 6. Pets can be combed in the opposite direction.

  The fleas captured by the flea removing operation are accommodated in the flea accommodating recess 27. At the time of disposal, hot water in which a neutral detergent is dissolved is stretched over the bucket, and the flea accommodating case 4 is attached to the comb body 2. Remove fleas and dispose of them by dropping them into this hot water. By such a method, a flea can be reliably disposed without missing.

  According to the flea removing comb 1 having the above configuration, the comb body 2 is provided with a handle on one side surface 21 a thereof, the comb tooth portion 28 and the handle 3 are parallel to each other, and the handle 3 is connected to the comb body 2. Therefore, the flea removing comb 1 can be delicately moved using the wrist. Further, the comb body 2 is formed with flea accommodating recesses 27 on both front and back surfaces 25, 25. On the other hand, the flea accommodating case 4 is formed of flea accommodating recesses 27 formed on the front and back surfaces 25, 25 of the comb body 2. Since it has the lid | cover part 6 which can be fitted in each, since the lid | cover part 6 of the flea accommodating case 4 can be fitted to any flea accommodating recessed part 27, the flea accommodating case 4 with respect to the comb main body 2 It is possible to cope with any direction (for example, the opposite direction such as the head direction or the tail direction of the pet) by combing the pet's hair by changing the mounting mode of the The fleas collected can be reliably accommodated in the flea accommodating recess 27. That is, according to this configuration, the fleas collected can be reliably accommodated without missing, and the flea removal comb 1 can be used with ease.
