Description

  [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a nursing trunk used for assisting a dog to stand up or walk.

  It is well known that when older dogs are bedridden, death is accelerated due to lack of exercise. Dogs cannot walk at all, even when they are bedridden, and often walk with human assistance. Then, what was described in patent document 1 is known as a nursing trunk which assists the walk of the dog which is difficult to walk.

  The dog nursing trunk described in Patent Document 1 includes a breast pad, side cloth parts provided on both sides of the breast pad part, and front leg insertion holes provided between the side cloth parts and the breast pad part. And a fastener provided at the free end of the side cloth portion, and a handle provided at each side cloth portion. According to the above configuration, the nursing trunk is opened without the fasteners connected, the front leg of the sleeping dog is inserted into the front leg insertion hole, and then one side cloth part is guided to the back through the lower part of the dog. At the same time, while the chest pad part is applied to the chest part, the end portions of the side cloth parts are joined to each other by a fastener so that the dog can wear the nursing trunk.

  When the nursing torso is attached to the dog, the dog can be raised without difficulty by lifting the nursing torso while holding the dog's waist or raising the dog's head. When a dog stands up, the dog can walk if a human is accompanied by a handle.

Registered Utility Model No. 3059815

However, when assisting walking of a large dog having a weight of 30 kg or more or a dog whose hind legs are extremely weak, there are problems as described below, for example.
(A) From the viewpoint of a person who cares for a dog, the force applied to the handle increases, and the burden on the person who cares increases.
(B) From the viewpoint of a dog to be cared for, the nursing torso receives most of the dog's weight at the chest pad, so that when the person lifts the handle, the dog is compressed on the chest.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a nursing trunk for reducing the burden on both dogs and humans.

  In order to achieve the above object, a nursing trunk of the present invention is a nursing trunk mounted on a dog, and a trunk pad formed to be worn on the chest and both left and right sides of the dog, And two double annular string members attached to the rear part. The torso rest has two left and right front leg straps that form a front leg opening into which the dog's front leg is inserted, and two handles attached to the left and right sides of the torso rest. The member has a first annular portion into which the rear leg of the dog can be inserted, and a second annular portion constituting a second handle, and the first annular portion and the second annular portion are in the circumferential direction thereof. Some are fixed to each other.

  In the nursing trunk of the present invention, it is preferable that the double annular string member further includes a cylindrical cover that surrounds a region including a portion where the first annular portion and the second annular portion are fixed to each other. In this case, the cylindrical cover is more preferably made from a cloth having a three-dimensional mesh structure. Moreover, it is preferable that a 1st cyclic | annular part has a belt member and the fastener respectively attached to the both ends of a belt member, and couple | bonded together so that attachment or detachment is mutually possible, and the mutual coupling position of a fastener is variable. The fastener may be a hook-and-loop fastener.

  Further, in the nursing trunk of the present invention, it is preferable that the double annular string member is detachably attached to the trunk pad.

(Definition)
In the present invention, “front” and “rear” correspond to “front” and “rear” of the dog in a state where the nursing torso is attached to the dog. The tail side of is represented as “rear”. Further, “right” and “left” mean a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction and the thickness direction of the nursing trunk, with the nursing trunk deployed.

  According to the present invention, the structure for assisting the rear leg of the dog can be provided with a very simple structure by having the double annular string member. As a result, the nursing trunk has a handle on the front and the back, and by using these two handles to assist the structure of the dog, such as standing up and walking, both the dog and the human can The burden can be reduced. In addition, by allowing the annular string member constituting the rear handle to be detachably attached to the torso pad, only the torso pad or only the annular string member is used according to the state of the dog, etc. Various usage forms are possible.

It is the top view which unfolded the nursing ring for dogs by one embodiment of the present invention, and was seen from the front side. It is a top view which shows the nursing trunk shown in FIG. 1A in the state which removed the string member. 1B is a side view showing the nursing trunk shown in FIG. FIG. 1B is a side view showing the nursing trunk shown in FIG. It is a figure of the state which made the dog wear the nursing ring shown in FIG. 1A. It is a figure which shows an example of the 1st cyclic | annular part comprised by the coupling | bonding of the hook_and_loop | surface fasteners of the nursing trunk shown in FIG. 1A, and an example of the attachment or detachment structure of the annular string member to a trunk pad. FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a state in which both end portions of the band-shaped member constituting the first annular portion are joined by the hook-and-loop fastener in the annular cord member shown in FIG. 4A.

  Referring to FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprising a waistband 1 and two left and right annular string members 2 removably attached to the rear part of the waistband 1. A care trunk is shown. Moreover, the state which mounted | wore the dog with this nursing trunk is shown in FIG.

  The trunk rest 1 includes a first portion 11a, two second portions 11b extending in the left-right direction of the first portion 11a, and two front leg string portions 11c extending from the front end of the first portion 11a to the left and right. Have. The first part 11a is assigned as a breast pad and the second part 11b is assigned as a side pad. The front leg string portion 11c and the respective front ends thereof are fixed to the left and right second portions 11b, whereby the front leg opening portion 12 is formed. For fixing the front leg string portion 11c to the second portion 11b, any means such as sewing, adhesion, snap fastening, button fastening, or the like can be used.

  The first portion 11a, the second portion 11b, and the front leg string portion 11c can be made from one piece of cloth, or can be made by combining a plurality of pieces of cloth. The material of the first portion 11a, the second portion 11b, and the front leg string portion 11c is not particularly limited as long as the material is suitable for wearing on a dog. For example, the material is used for clothing worn by humans. Material can be used.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that at least a part of the fabric constituting the first portion 11a, the second portion 11b, and the front leg string portion 11c has a mesh structure, for example, a three-dimensional mesh structure. The fabric having a three-dimensional mesh structure is supple and has very good breathability. Therefore, the nursing trunk can follow any posture of the dog, and can suppress the stuffiness when the nursing trunk is mounted on the dog. As a result, even if the dog falls asleep while being worn, it is very unlikely that the dog feels uncomfortable, and the dog can remain worn for 24 hours. Furthermore, since it is excellent in air permeability, it is easy to wash even when wet, so it is easy to wash. Moreover, you may have the surface layer fabric arrange | positioned in the at least one part in the surface side of the fabric which comprises the 1st part 11a, the 2nd part 11b, and the string part 11c for front legs. By appropriately designing the surface fabric, it is possible to improve the design of the nursing trunk.

  A typical three-dimensional mesh structure includes a three-dimensional mesh structure formed by double raschel knitting. This three-dimensional mesh structure has a structure in which a front knitted fabric and a back knitted fabric knitted in a mesh shape are connected to each other with a connecting yarn at an interval. With such a structure, the three-dimensional mesh structure has gaps in the thickness direction of the knitted fabric and in the direction orthogonal to the direction. Accordingly, this three-dimensional mesh structure is characterized by being lightweight and excellent in air permeability.

  The trunk rest 1 further has two handles 13 on the left and right. The handle 13 is made of a band-shaped member, and both ends thereof are configured as the handle 13 by being fixed to the second portion 11 b with an appropriate interval in the front-rear direction of the trunk pad 1. The method of fixing the handle 13 to the second portion 11b is not particularly limited. However, in consideration of the possibility that most of the weight of the dog may act depending on the case, the handle 13 may be fixed by sewing. preferable.

  The two left and right handles 13 can have coupling means for detachably coupling these handles 13 to each other. By having the coupling means, the left and right handles 13 can be combined into one, and as a result, the handle 13 can be easily held, and even if the dog lies down while wearing this nursing trunk. The handle 13 is unlikely to get in the way. The coupling means is not particularly limited, and for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, a snap, a button or the like can be used. The position having the coupling means is not particularly limited, but in order to better combine the left and right handles 13 into one, the position corresponding to the upper end of the handle 13 when worn on the dog. It is preferable.

  Fasteners 14 and 15 that are detachably coupled to each other are provided at both left and right end portions of the body rest 1, in other words, at the free end portions of the second portions 11b. The fasteners 14 and 15 extend substantially over the entire longitudinal direction of the torso pad 1, and the left and right ends of the torso pad 1 are joined to each other by the fasteners 14 and 15 to form a cylindrical shape so as to surround the torso of the dog. be able to. Further, by making at least one of the fasteners 14 and 15 into a plurality of rows (for example, two rows of fasteners 15 and 15a in this embodiment), the circumference of the waistband 1 can be changed according to the size of the dog.

  The fasteners 14 and 15 (15a) are not particularly limited as long as they can detachably connect the left and right ends of the trunk pad 1, and any means such as a slide fastener or a hook-and-loop fastener is used. be able to.

  The two left and right annular strap members 2 are respectively a first annular portion 21 that forms a rear leg opening 24 into which a dog's rear leg can be inserted, and a second annular portion 22 that constitutes a rear second handle. And having. The 1st annular part 21 and the 2nd annular part 22 can each be constituted by forming a belt-like member annularly. The first annular portion 21 and the second annular portion 22 are fixed to each other in a part in the circumferential direction thereof, whereby the annular string member 2 has a double annular structure.

  The size (for example, diameter, circumference, etc.) of the 1st annular part 21 will not be specifically limited if it is sufficient size for a dog's hind leg to be inserted. Similarly, the size (for example, diameter, circumference, etc.) of the 2nd annular part 22 will not be specifically limited if it is a size suitable for using as a handle.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the band-shaped member constituting the first annular portion 21 has hook-and-loop fasteners 21a and 21b as coupling means at both ends thereof. As shown to FIG. 4B, the 1st cyclic | annular part 21 can be formed by couple | bonding the both ends of a strip | belt-shaped member by these surface fasteners 21a and 21b. By making at least one of the hook-and-loop fasteners 21a and 21b have an appropriate length in the longitudinal direction of the band-shaped member, the coupling position of the hook-and-loop fasteners 21a and 21b can be changed, and thereby the first annular portion The size of 21 can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the rear leg of the dog. Moreover, the 1st annular part 21 is comprised with the strip | belt-shaped member which has such a connection means, and the cyclic | annular string member 2 can be mounted | worn to a dog, without raising a back leg, with a dog standing.

  As described above, when the first annular portion 21 is constituted by a belt-like member whose both ends are detachably coupled, the first annular portion 21 is the center in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member constituting the first annular portion 21. It is preferable to be fixed to the second annular portion 22 by the portion. The first annular portion 21 and the second annular portion 22 can be fixed by any method as long as they are not easily separated from each other. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4B, the first annular portion 21 and the second annular portion 22 are fixed by a stitching portion 22a obtained by sewing the first annular portion 21 and the second annular portion 22 at appropriate positions. The number of stitching portions 22a may be arbitrary.

  The two left and right annular cord members 2 can have coupling means for detachably coupling the second annular portions 22 to each other in the second annular portion 22. When the second annular portion 22 has the coupling means, the left and right second annular portions 22 (second handles) can be combined into one. Since the operation and effect of the connecting means, the preferred connecting means, and the position having the connecting means are the same as those of the connecting means of the handle 13 described above, the description thereof is omitted here.

  The annular string member 2 may further have a cylindrical cover 23. The cylindrical cover 23 is disposed at a position surrounding a region including a portion where the first annular portion 21 and the second annular portion 22 are fixed to each other. When the annular cord member 2 is used, the rear leg of the dog is inserted into the first annular portion 21, and the second annular portion 22 is used as a handle. Therefore, when the annular string member 2 is lifted by holding the second annular portion 22 with the dog's rear leg inserted into the first annular portion 21, the first annular portion is located at the lower end of the second annular portion 22. The fact that the portion 21 is fixed can lift the annular string member 2 most stably. In this case, the fixing portion of the first annular portion 21 and the second annular portion 22 strongly hits the base portion of the rear leg of the dog.

  Therefore, by arranging the cylindrical cover 23 so as to surround the region including the portion where the first annular portion 21 and the second annular portion 22 are fixed to each other, the cylindrical cover 23 acts as a cushion, The physical burden can be reduced. In order to exhibit this effect of the cylindrical cover 23 more effectively, the cylindrical cover 23 is preferably made of a cloth having the above-described three-dimensional mesh structure.

  As described above, the annular string member 2 is detachably attached to the trunk pad 1. As a means for detachably attaching the annular string member 2 to the waistband 1, when the annular string member 2 is lifted in a state where the nursing torso is attached to the dog, the annular string member 2 is removed from the waistband 1. If it does not come off, any means can be used.

  In this embodiment, the first annular portion 21 has a loop portion through which the first annular portion 21 passes between the body rest 1 using the fact that the first annular portion 21 is made of a band-like member that is detachably coupled at both ends. Thus, means for attaching the annular strap member 2 to the trunk rest 1 is constituted by string passages 16 and 17 formed of strip-shaped members sewn on the trunk rest 1 (see FIG. 4). According to such a means, in a state where the first annular portion 21 is not formed, that is, in a state where both ends of the band-shaped member are not coupled to each other, the band-shaped member is connected to the loop portions of the string-throughs 16 and 17. Then, the annular string member 2 can be attached to the waistband 1 by joining both ends of the belt-like member. The removal of the annular string member 2 can be performed in the reverse procedure.

  In the illustrated form, two stringers 16 and 17 are provided on each of the left and right sides, but the number of stringers may be one, or three or more. In order to further stabilize the position of the annular string member 2, it is preferable to have a plurality of string passages 16 and 17. When the plurality of stringers 16 and 17 are provided, the stringers 16 and 17 are preferably arranged at an appropriate interval in the front-rear direction for more stable attachment of the annular string member 2.

  At least one of the string passages 16 and 17 can have a plurality of loop portions so that the attachment position of the annular string member 2 can be adjusted. In this embodiment, the front stringer 16 is sewn to the waistband 1 so as to have three loop portions 16a, 16b, 16c (see FIG. 4A), and the attachment position of the annular string member 2 is determined in three stages. It is adjustable. Thus, by making it possible to adjust the attachment position of the annular string member 2, it is possible to adjust the size according to the dog system and the thickness of the thighs.

  As described above, the nursing trunk of the present embodiment includes the annular string member 2 including the first annular portion 21 and the second annular portion 22 that are fixed to each other at a partial position to form a double annular structure. The first annular portion 21 can be provided as a rear leg opening, and at the same time, the second annular portion 22 can be provided as a second handle which is a rear handle. Thereby, the structure for assisting the hind leg of the dog can be provided with a very simple structure. In addition, by having the annular string member 2, the front and rear have handles (the handle 13 and the second annular portion 22), and these handles are lifted to assist the rising and walking of the sleeping dog. By doing so, the dog can stand up and walk with less burden. In addition, the assisting person can distribute the weight of the dog when the handle is lifted to these handles, thereby reducing the burden. Furthermore, since the front and rear legs can be assisted separately by the two front and rear handles, the burden on the dog and human can be reduced even when, for example, raising and lowering the step.

  In addition, since the annular string member 2 that assists the rear leg of the dog and is the rear handle is detachably attached to the torso 1, the annular leg member 2 is annular when the rear leg assistance is not so necessary. It is also possible to remove the string member 2 and attach only the torso pad 1 to the dog to assist the dog's standing up and walking. On the contrary, when the assistance of the front leg is not so much needed, the standing or walking of the dog can be assisted by using only the two annular string members 2. In this way, by configuring the annular string member 2 so as to be detachable from the waistband 1, various usage forms are possible according to the state of the dog.
