Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a cat nail polisher, and in particular:
It is constructed by combining support members that can be stably fixed and used not only when placed on the floor but also when leaning against a pillar or wall.

Cats have a habit of becoming irritated when their claws are retracted due to peeling or scabs, and this irritation can only be relieved by scratching things. In order to protect household equipment, rugs, pillars, walls, interior decorations, textiles, etc. from these cat habits, for example, use nail polishing materials such as cardboard with a rough surface in a rectangular outer box. Place a nail polisher filled with a matte that cats like on the floor, or hang the cover with the outer box cut open and hang it against a post, etc., and use the scratching motion of the cat to dig into the nail polisher. It is already known that the claws penetrate the surface to remove sores and relieve irritation in cats. However, such nail polishing tools easily move because the cat's scratching force outweighs their own weight, making it impossible to polish their nails, and furthermore, by moving the tool, the cat becomes remorseful and stops using it. There was a fatal adverse effect.

In view of this situation, the present invention was developed to provide a nail polisher that can withstand cat scratches, is stably fixed, and is loved by cats. A support member having a box shape is fitted to one end of the main body, and a support member having a U-shaped cross section is rotatably attached to the other end, and the bottom surface of each of the support members is A stopper piece is attached to each to prevent slipping, and the box-shaped support member has an uneven surface formed on the outer edge of the bottom, and when used on the floor, it is attached to the bottom of each support member. When used against a pillar or wall, the uneven surface provided on one support member is dug into the floor surface with a slight incline, and the stopper piece on the other support member is fixed. It is designed to be fixed by bringing it into contact with a pillar or wall.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In the figure, 1 is a main body formed by loading a nail polishing material 3 with a rough surface into a rectangular outer box 2, and a cut line 4 is provided around the upper side edge of the outer box 2. A lid 5 is formed which can be freely separated. In addition,
In the embodiment, the nail polishing material 3 used was one made by integrally laminating cardboard, but it is not limited to this, and any material with a rough surface that is hard enough to withstand the scratching force of a cat can be used without any restriction. I can do it.

Reference numerals 6a and 6b are support members for supporting both ends of the main body 1 in the longitudinal direction, and one support member 6a has a box shape that can be fitted to one end of the main body 1, and the supporting members 6a and 6b are provided in the longitudinal direction of the main body 1 at positions close to the front and back of the bottom surface 7a. Two protrusions 8, 8 are provided parallel to each other, and an elastic rod-shaped stopper piece 9 is attached between the protrusions 8, 8, and the outer edge of the bottom surface 7a is made to protrude, and the tip thereof is provided with a sawtooth shape. A concavo-convex surface 10 is formed and the body 1 is fitted into the main body 1 from the opening side. The other support member 6b has a U-shaped cross section that can be placed over the main body 1, and the bottom surface 7b is provided with the support member 6a.
Similarly, two protrusions 8 and 8 are placed at the front and rear positions.
is provided, and a stopper piece 9 is attached between the protrusions 8, 8. Furthermore, both side pieces 1 of this support member 6b
Small holes 12, 12 are bored near the tips of 1, 11,
The small holes 12, 12 and the small holes 13 provided on both sides of the outer box 2 are communicated with each other, and pins 14, 14 are driven into the outer box 2 so as to be rotatably attached to the main body 1.

FIG. 4 shows the state in which the nail polishing tool of the present invention formed in this manner is placed on the floor and used. The lid 5 is cut off to expose the nail polishing material 3, and the supporting members 6a and 6b are removed. The bottom surfaces 7a and 7b are respectively opposed to the floor surface A, and each stopper piece 9 is pressed against and fixed to the floor surface A. By fixing in this way, the nail polishing tool does not move even if the cat receives a scratching force on the nail polishing material 3, and it can be used stably.

Moreover, FIG. 7 shows a state in which the main body 1 is used in a leaning position.
The uneven surface 10 formed on the outer edge of the bottom surface 7a of A is pressed against the floor surface A, and the upper support member 6b is rotated about the pins 14, 14 to make the bottom surface 7b parallel to the column B. and move the stopper piece 9 to the pillar B.
By pressing it against and facing it, it can be fixed and used stably.

As mentioned above, the cat nail polishing tool of the present invention has support members fitted at both longitudinal ends of the main body loaded with nail polishing material, with a box-shaped support member fitted on one side and a U-shaped support member on the other. Rotatably attach the stopper pieces to the bottom of each support member, and press these stopper pieces against the floor to secure them stably.Also, when leaning against a pillar, etc., leave it at a slight incline. Press the uneven surface provided on the box-shaped support member into the floor surface and rotate the U-shaped support member to press and fix the stopper piece to a pillar etc. It can withstand scratches from cats and can be used stably without moving, even under conditions like this. Furthermore, by being able to use it in a fixed position like this, it is even more effective to use a matatabi, but it also gives the cat a sense of security without having to use the traditional matatabi to attract the cat, and it also has sufficient claws. Since it can be polished, it has the advantage of eliminating damage to household fixtures, rugs, pillars, walls, etc. caused by cat claws.
