Abstract

PURPOSE:To train a pet so as not to bite a power cord by furnishing conductors on the facial course or its neighborhood over the whole length of the power cord with built-in power cable, and by connecting a device of very weak electric power generating source. CONSTITUTION:A power cord 1 is equipped with a conductive wire 6 over the whole length as surrounding a power cable 7, which is covered with a facial course cover 9 made of rubber, etc. A plug 2 is furnished at one end of this power cord 1, while a tap 3 at the other end. When the plug 2 is inserted in the outlet 5, AC 100V is supplied to the insert mouth 4 of the tap 3. Because the end of the conductive wire 6 is not coupled, the wire 6 is out of continuity. If any pet animal bites the cord 1, the wire 6 is contacted before reaching the cable 7, and a very weak electric power at approx. 10V, 1mA generated by power supply device 3 provided in the tap 3 is impressed to the mouth of the pet, who lets go the cord 1 from his mouth. Thus the cord 1 is prevented from being bitten.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a power cord with a power cable installed inside it, and in particular, even if a dog, cat, etc. bites it accidentally, it will not cause electrocution and will not cause surprise. The present invention relates to a power cord configured to inform the bed not to bite the power cord by applying a very weak electric power to the bed.

(Prior Art) In general, dogs, cats, and other animals have a habit of playing with small objects and cords that they see as toys. In the case of objects that are usually subject to this joke, such as balls, bags, flowers, plants, books, and other still life items, some of them may not be impressed, but even if they are made into toys, there is no risk of affecting life. be. However, when the object of the toy is a power cord attached to an electrical device, it is a serious problem that the owner of the bed cannot be optimistic about.

In other words, if the bed gets loose and bites so hard that its teeth reach the power cable installed inside the power cord, the bed will immediately receive an electric shock, and in the worst case, there is a risk that the bed will be lined up.

Normally, this type of dog should be strictly disciplined to avoid biting the power cord, but it is very difficult to selectively discipline this type of person so that he or she does not bite the power cord, rather than just one thing like training in the toilet. Particularly in the early childhood period, when children are completely indiscreet, the only solutions are to give them repeated warnings each time, or to prevent cords from running on the floor at all.

(Objective of the Invention) The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, and even if a dog, cat, etc. uses the power cord as a toy and bites it, the worst electrocution or severe electric shock can be prevented. To provide a power cord configured to discipline a bed not to chew on the power cord by giving a weak electric power to the bed so as to cause surprise when the animal bites the cord.

(Detailed Description of the Invention) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 of the drawings. In the figure, (1) indicates the power cord. This power cord (1) has an outlet plug (2) at one end and a tap (3) at the other end. This tap (3) has multiple outlets (4),
(4), (4) are provided. (5) is a power outlet provided on the wall (not shown). Near the surface of this power cord (1), there is a conductive wire (6) that is a conductor for conducting weak power over almost its entire length.

) is a device for converting the ACloo [V] supplied from the power cables (7), (7) into DC weak power of about 10 (V) 1 (mA), and is connected to the tap (3). (9) is a surface cover. This surface cover (9) is made of a material that has a restoring force against perforation, such as neoprene rubber or rubber foam, and is connected to the conductive wire (6). ),
(6) Covers the entire power cord (1) by covering ... itself.

Next, the method of use and operation of the above embodiment will be explained in detail.

First, insert the outlet plug (2) into the outlet (5). With this operation, the outlet (4) of the tap (3),
(4) ACloo [■] is supplied to (4). At the same time, AC
loo(V) is supplied. However, the conductive wire (6)
Since the ends of (6), . . . are not connected, in this state, the conductive wires (6), (6
), ... are not conductive. In this state, if Bette bites the power cord (1) with the chassis, the conductive wires (6), (6), ...・
come into contact with... At this time, the conductive wires (6), (6), etc. become conductive with the opening of the bed as a conductor, and a weak electric power of about 10 (V) 1 (mA) generated by the power supply device (8) is applied to the bed. Bette received a shocking electric shock and removed her mouth from the power cord (1).

Next, a second embodiment of the power cord according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 of the drawings, but the same parts as in the first embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals and their explanation will be omitted. In the figure (
10) indicates the power cord.

This power cord (10) is a power cable (7).

(7) is installed internally. Further, conductive paint strips (11) and (12), which are conductors, are applied alternately to [+] and [-] portions over substantially the entire surface of the power cord (10). This conductive paint strip (11), (1
The end of 2) is connected to a power supply device (8) which is a weak power generator. (13).

(13) is a protective resistance. This protective resistance (13), (

), (12).

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. First, an outlet plug (not shown) is inserted into the outlet (5). By this operation, 80,100 [V] is supplied to the outlet (4) of the tap (3) and the power supply device (8). However, since the ends of the conductive paint strips (11) and (12) are not connected, in this state the conductive paint strips (11) and (12
) is not supplied with power. If Bette licks or bites the power cord (10) on the chassis in this state,
At that point, the conductive paint strips (11) and (12) become conductive, and the weak electric power generated by the power supply (8) is applied to Bett's tongue or mouth, causing Bett to receive a shocking electric shock.
Remove your mouth from the power cord (10).

Next, a third embodiment of the power cord of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5 of the drawings. In the figure, (20) indicates a power cord. This power cord (20) has an outlet plug (21) and a tap (22). Further, this power cord (20) has a power cable and a conductor arranged to surround the power cable inside, as in the first embodiment, and this conductor is connected to a weak power generator. It is connected to the. Further, the tap (22
) side is provided with a cord storage section (24) for storing power cords (23) of other electrical devices.

In this embodiment, the power cord (23
) is used by storing it in the cord storage part (24). The function and method of use of the pond in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted.

In the above embodiments, an example was described in which the present invention was applied to a power cord in the form of a so-called extension cord, but the present invention may also be applied to a power cord of a general electric device itself. Further, it may be applied to a power supply cord for power supply such as a telephone line or an interfon cable. In addition, ACloo (Vl) is used as a weak power generator.
Although the explanation has been given using a power supply device that converts DClo (V)1 (mA) as an example, it is not limited to this.
For example, those that use a secondary battery as a direct power supply, those that use a secondary battery and a charging circuit as a power supply, or those that use a large-capacity capacitor and a charging circuit as a power supply, etc.The power supply is so weak that it may surprise the bet. Any circuit or device may be used as long as it generates . Furthermore, the weak power is not limited to the examples, but also the types of bets.

It may be variable depending on the size, etc., or it may be set to high voltage and low current to provide greater shock and safety. Furthermore, in the embodiment, a case was described in which a surface layer cover having a restoring force against perforation was provided.
Such a cover is not specially provided, and a conductor may be provided inside the power cord itself. In addition, although the weak power generator has been described as being installed inside the tap, it may also be installed inside the outlet plug.
Furthermore, it may be provided as a separate component.

In addition, in the description of the second embodiment, a conductive paint was used as an example of the conductor, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a resistive wire, a conductive wire, etc. may be used. good. Further, although the conductive paint has been described as being applied in a spiral manner, it may be applied in parallel to the axial direction. In addition, by combining a cylindrical cover with a conductor on the surface and a weak power generator,
It may also be a structure in which the power cord of a general electrical device is coated.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above explanation, according to the power cord of the present invention,
Even if a dog, cat, etc. bites and bites, the electric conductor connected to the weak power generator will cause a shocking electric shock before reaching the power cable that supplies the large amount of power, and the dog or cat will immediately bite. Since the occlusion is released, it has the effect of suppressing accidents such as electrocution and electric shock due to large electric power.

In addition, this type of animal basically hates electric shock even with weak electric power, so it is possible to make them extremely aware that power cords should not be used as toys, and it has the effect of allowing them to naturally train them, which was difficult to do in the past. It has both.

In particular, when the weak power generator is installed inside the plug or tap as in the first embodiment, the cord looks no different from a normal extension cord, is small and lightweight, and has the effect of eliminating any discomfort. Furthermore, if the surface layer of the power cord is formed with a surface layer cover that has a restoring force against punctures, it has the effect of quickly restoring the tooth impressions chewed by the pet.

In addition, if the conductor is placed directly on the surface of the power cord as in the second embodiment, a weak electric power will be applied to the pet's tongue and mouth just by the pet's licking, making the training effect even more pronounced. can get. Furthermore, since a protective resistor is connected between the conductor and the weak power generator, it is possible to protect the power supply even if a good conductor such as a metal object comes into contact with it.

Furthermore, if the power cord is provided with a storage section on the tap side for storing the power cord of another electrical device as in the third embodiment, the power cord becomes substantially the same as the power cord of the electrical device itself. , it has the effect of completely eliminating dangerous parts.
