Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to a dog leash used when walking a dog.

[Conventional technology]

There are two types of dog leashes that have been used in the past: flat cord leashes and round leash leashes. In particular, length adjustment fittings specifically designed for flat strings and flat belts are often used for drawstrings of flat strings, as exemplified by so-called hanging strings for cameras, water bottles, and the like.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, there is no example of a drawstring with a round string structure that allows the length to be adjusted very easily and that can firmly fix the length after adjustment, such as an adjustment fitting exclusively for flat belts. Of course, it is possible to repurpose the length adjustment fittings exclusively used for flat belts, but round cords are quite thick and have a circular cross-section, and the outer surface of the cord is relatively easy to slide. Unlike flat string belts, it has elements that are quite different from flat string belts, such as the fact that it is in a braided state, so it has unevenness, so depending on how it is fixed, it will rub against each other and is extremely difficult to slide. This requires a certain amount of ingenuity, and the reality is that there are currently no metal fittings that can meet this requirement.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a dog with a length adjustment fitting for a round string drawstring that is extremely easy to adjust the length and is securely fixed after adjustment. It's there to provide the drawstring.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention adopts the following dog leash with a round cord structure and a length adjustment fitting.
That is, in a dog leash having a round cord structure and having a length adjustment fitting, the length adjustment fitting is made of a substantially V-shaped plate-like body, and is formed at the center of the plate and hooks the rear end thereof. Sequentially from the bridge section toward both ends, a latching hole through which the drawstring is inserted through and latched to the bridge section at the rear end of the drawstring, and a pull-through hole through which the middle section of the drawstring is pulled through are made discontinuous or slightly continuous. This is the configuration in which the holes were drilled.

[Effect]

Therefore, if the above-mentioned configuration is adopted, even if the drawstring is thick and has a round cord structure with a circular cross section, the length can be adjusted by adjusting the pull-through position of the middle part of the drawstring. . In particular, when adjusting the length again after fixing, the string is usually loosened because it is firmly fixed due to strong friction between the outer surfaces of the round string due to the unevenness of the outer surface. However, in this design, the latch hole and the pull-through hole are separated or nearly separated, so the frictional contact between the round strings is caused by the frictional contact between the round strings at a position near the upper part of the bridge that performs the fixing function. In this respect, the ease and speed of length adjustment is improved. Of course, with the above-mentioned configuration, the desired length can be maintained at a constant level, and since the metal fitting itself is a substantially V-shaped plate, the entire drawstring becomes straight during use, even though it is made of round string material. It is highly practical and durable.

〔Example〕

First, in FIG. 1, 1 is a length adjustment fitting. Reference numeral 2 is a drawstring made of a round string structure, and 3 is an eggplant ring connected to a dog's collar. The eggplant ring 3 is attached to the front end 2 of the drawstring 2
attached to a. Further, 4 is a handle portion.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 2, the length adjustment fitting 1 has a bridge part 5 for hooking the rear end part 2b of the drawstring 2 at its center position, and a pull-through part 6 for drawing the middle part 2c of the drawstring at both ends. 7. In order to form this bridge part 5, locking holes 8, 8 are provided on both sides of the bridge part 5, into which the rear end part 2b of the drawstring is inserted and locked. Further, the pull-through portions 6 and 7 are constituted by pull-through holes 9 and 9 through which the middle portion of the drawstring is inserted. In this embodiment, the latching holes 8, 8 and the through-holes 9, 9 are formed as incomplete continuous holes that are slightly continuous on both sides. As mentioned above, it is not appropriate to use completely continuous holes from the viewpoint of ease and speed of length adjustment, but on the contrary, it is preferable to use discontinuous holes. It is preferable that the diameter of each hole is approximately the same as the diameter of the drawstring.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the length adjustment fitting 1 has both ends, through which the middle part of the drawstring is drawn, bent in the opposite direction to the direction in which the rear end of the drawstring is hooked to the bridge part 5. The overall shape is approximately V-shaped.

Since this embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, even if the drawstring is thick and has a circular cross-section, or has an uneven outer surface, the drawstring can be pulled through. Since the holes 9, 9 are provided, the length can be adjusted as desired, and since a certain degree of separation is ensured, it is possible to adjust the length by very easily adjusting the pulling position of the middle part of the drawstring, making it possible to adjust the length as desired. It can be maintained constant in length. In addition, especially since both ends of the length adjustment fitting 1 are bent in a certain direction, the middle part 2c of the drawstring from the pull-through part 6 to the bridge part 5 to the rear end 2b are in a substantially parallel state as shown in the figure. Moreover, the part from the pull-through part 7 to the front end 2a of the drawstring can be straight and stable in the direction extending linearly from the parallel part. . That is, due to the unique bending structure of the metal fitting 1, a so-called pulling action that pulls the drawstring well together in the direction toward the handle portion 4 is imparted, and on the other hand, this pulling action is applied to the direction toward the collar. It gives the effect of determining the direction in a direction approximately 180 degrees opposite to the direction. In other words, the entire drawstring is made to be as straight as possible.

Regarding the bending angle of the metal fitting 1, from the above-mentioned viewpoint, it goes without saying that any angle can be used as long as the entire drawstring is as straight as possible, the length can be adjusted, and the desired length can be maintained constant.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, although the dog leash of this invention uses a leash with a round cord structure, it can be easily and quickly adjusted to the desired length by adopting a special length adjustment fitting. It has become possible to adjust it. In addition, it is securely fixed, and the entire drawstring has a stable straight configuration, so it not only looks beautiful, but also prevents unbalanced forces from acting on one part of the drawstring as much as possible. This makes it extremely desirable from the viewpoint of durability.
