  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First Embodiment

  The structure of the small animal foot washing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 and described.

  The small animal foot washing device 1 according to the present embodiment is a cartridge type in which the hollow and cylindrical washing container 3 can be detached instantly and easily in half rotation in the main body 2. Various head members can be mounted so as to be replaceable.

  The main body 2 is provided with a switch 2a for adjusting power ON / OFF and strength, and an insertion port 2c for attaching a power cable or a USB cable when adopting a rechargeable battery, and is not shown. However, LOCK and an arrow are indicated on the connecting portion of the main body 2 and the cleaning container 3 in order to guide the attaching / detaching operation. That is, a silicon ring is attached to the connecting part of the bottom of the main body 2 and the cleaning container 3, LOCK and arrow are printed on the main body side, and an arrow is printed on the cleaning container side. It can be removed to the left for about one-fifth rotation, about 4 cm, to form a seal and opening and closing in a one-touch sense.

  A convex portion 3a protruding upward is formed at the uppermost portion of the cleaning container 3, and the lower cap ring 4, the water leakage prevention filters 5 and 6, the upper cap ring 7, and a lid member are formed on the convex portion 3a. The portable cap 8 as is stacked and mounted in this order.

  Here, the detailed structure of the upper stage cap ring 7 is shown and demonstrated to FIG. 2 (a) and FIG.2 (b). FIG. 2A is a plan view of the upper cap ring 7, and FIG. 2B is a partial cross-sectional view of the upper cap ring 7. As shown in these figures, a groove 7b is formed in the lower part of the upper cap ring 7 for fixing it to a sponge-like water leakproof filter 6 made of a rubber elastic material of silicon or elastomer material, In the upper stage of the upper stage cap ring 7, a groove 7a is formed in which a portable cap 8 attached when the animal foot washing apparatus is not used or when it is moved is mounted by screwing.

  And in FIG. 3 (a) and FIG.3 (b), the detailed structure of the lower stage cap ring 4 is shown, and it demonstrates. FIG. 3A is a plan view of the lower cap ring 4, and FIG. 3B is a partial cross-sectional view of the lower cap ring 4. As shown in these figures, the lower end of the lower cap ring 4 holds the upper end such as a cleaning brush covering a front surface 360 degrees as described later in detail, a wiping brush, and a water flow head to support rotation. The U-shaped groove 4b is formed, and the groove 4a for fixing with the water leak prevention filter 6 is formed in the upper stage. The inner surface of the groove 4b has projections and depressions for holding the head member and assisting the rotation.

  Returning to the explanation in FIG. In such a configuration, the power source inside the main body 2 and the rotation of the motor connected to the power source turn the head member mounted on the rotation shaft 2b. By the rotation of the head member, one foot of the animal to be cleaned, which is inserted with the toe standing in the cleaning container 3, is cleaned or wiped off.
