Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention enables humans to reliably guide animals such as horses, cows, and dogs for horse racing, etc., and to quickly guide them from the animal in a single touch. This relates to the structure of a towline that can be removed at any time.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Conventionally, for example, when racing a racehorse at a racetrack, the reins 4 attached to the racehorse 1 are held and controlled by a jockey riding the racehorse 1. To complete the preparation for the start by guiding the horse by the jockey and another guide, as shown in FIG. etc., a rope towline 5 is passed through it and folded in two, and the guider simultaneously grasps both ends 5a and 5b of the two-folded towline 5 with hands 6 to lead the racehorse 1 into the gate. The towline 5 is then removed from the ring 3 by releasing its one end 5a from the hand 6 and pulling the other end 5b.

In order to remove the towline 5 from the racehorse that has been guided into the gate, it is necessary to be quick, that is, to remove it quickly.In order to remove the towline 5 quickly, conventionally, a ring 3 is used as the towline 5. For example, a rope made of nylon or the like, which has good sliding properties, was used.

However, if a slippery rope is used as the towline 5, when the racehorse 1 stands up on its hind legs or lashes out due to being surprised by something else while being guided into the gate, the towline 5 One or both of the end portions 5a, 5b of the hand 6 would end up slipping out of the hand 6, resulting in a situation where the horse could no longer be controlled.

In addition, instead of the towline 5 which is made by folding a rope in half, as shown in FIG. The main rope 7 is connected via this connecting fitting 8.
If the rope is attached to the ring 3, the rope will not come off the racehorse 1 unless the main rope 7 is released from the hand 6 even when the racehorse 1 stands up, and the racehorse can be controlled reliably. However, it takes time and effort to remove the connecting fitting 8 from the ring 3.
Not only was it impossible to quickly remove the towline from the racehorse, but the handler's hand had to come close to the racehorse's edge 2 when attaching and detaching it, which was dangerous.

Such problems also occur when the tow leash is removed after guiding an animal such as a cow or a large dog wearing a collar to a predetermined location.

The present invention aims to solve the above problem.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, in the present invention, a main rope, an anchoring portion attached near the tip of the main rope, a loop portion connecting the anchoring portion and the main rope, and a loop portion attached to the main rope in the proximal direction thereof. At least two engagement holes are formed in each of the anchoring portion and the main rope, and the cables are inserted into and removed from these engagement holes in a staggered manner. The base end of the thin string is connected to the distal end of the sub-cord.

[Action/effect of the invention]

In this way, the thin string connected to the tip of the accessory cord,
By inserting the threads into the plurality of engagement holes drilled in the main rope and the anchoring portion in a staggered manner, the main rope and the anchoring portion are anchored by the interlacing of the thin string bodies. Therefore, even if a pulling force is applied to the animal on the loop that connects the main rope and the anchoring section, the anchoring section will not come off the main rope, allowing animals such as race horses to be attached to the main rope. Therefore, it can be guided reliably.

Therefore, when a conventional rope-shaped towline is folded in half and tied to a ring, etc., one or both ends of the towline may suddenly be pulled out of the hand due to the animal's sudden pulling force. This has the effect that the animal can be reliably controlled by holding the main rope without causing a situation where the animal becomes uncontrollable due to the rope coming off.

Then, when you pull the lever holding the sub-rope, the thin strings connected to the sub-rope are pulled out from all the engagement holes, and the main rope and the anchoring part are connected together. is released, and the connecting action of the loop portion to the connection point to the animal, such as the bit, is released, so there is an effect that the main rope can be removed from the animal extremely easily and quickly.

Furthermore, since the thin string is connected to the tip of the auxiliary rope, and the auxiliary rope extends toward the proximal end of the main rope, the auxiliary rope can be pulled and manipulated away from the point where it is tied to the animal. , the main rope can be safely disconnected from a distance without approaching the animal; in other words, the main rope can be safely removed from the animal.

[Embodiment] Below, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show the first embodiment, and in this figure, reference numeral 12 is the main rope of the towline 11, and reference numeral 13 is the main rope of the towline 11. , sub-ropes arranged along the longitudinal direction of the main rope 12, these main ropes 12 and sub-ropes 1
3 is formed into a flexible belt-like body made of leather or the like.

An engaging part 15 is integrally connected to the tip of the main rope 12 via a loop part 14, and the loop part 14 is wound around the ring 3 in the tread 2 of the racehorse 1.

Further, reference numeral 20 denotes a leather holding ring that is passed through the engaging part 15 in order to keep the diameter of the loop part 14 small.
are fixed to the main rope 12 with threads, rivets, or the like.

The anchoring portion 15 is attached to a midway portion in the longitudinal direction of the main rope 12 in a state where they face each other and are close to each other, and each of the main rope 12 and the anchoring portion 15 is provided with a hole at an appropriate distance. at least two engagement holes 16a, 16b,
17a and 17b are bored at the same intervals.

Then, the sub-rope 13 is disposed close to the upper surface of the engaging portion 15, and the hole 21 at the tip of the sub-rope 13 is
In this case, the proximal end of a thin string 18 made of pliable leather or the like is tied in a knot 19 and attached in an unmovable manner, and the tip of the thin string 18 is inserted into the one pair of engagement holes 16a, 16b, and then inserted into the other pair of engagement holes 17b and 17a so as to be dried and sewn together.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the base end of the thin string 18 (the location of the knot 19) is located on the base end side of the main rope 12,
The tip end side of the thin string body 18 is located at a portion closer to the loop portion 14.

Further, a metal interlocking ring 22 connected to the base end of the auxiliary rope 13 to prevent falling off is slidably fitted loosely into a loop-shaped grip portion 23 formed by folding back at the base end of the main rope 12. There is.

With this configuration, the thin string body 1 in FIG.
8 from each engagement hole, and the now free engagement part 15 is passed through the ring 3 etc. on the leg 2 of the racehorse 1 and wrapped around it in a folded manner, and then wrapped around the holding ring 20 on the main rope 12. After submerging, the relevant engaging portion 15
are attached to the main rope 12 so as to be in close contact with each other, and then the tips of the thin strings 18 are first passed through one pair of engagement holes 16a, 16b, and then the other pair of engagement holes 16a, 16b are inserted. By passing through the holes 17b and 17a and stitching them together, the thin string body 18 can reliably stitch and engage the engagement portion 15 to the main rope 12.

In this state, the anchoring part 15 is held attached to the main rope 12 and the ring 3 and the loop part 14 do not come off. and the race horse 1
All you have to do is tow it to the gate at the starting point at the racecourse and guide it.

In addition, even if the racehorse 1 suddenly becomes violent or stands up, and is suddenly pulled from the loop part 14 side, the thin strings inserted through the respective engagement holes of the main rope 12 and the engagement part 15 can be used. Since the body 18 does not come out of each engagement hole, the guider can reliably control the racehorse 1 by firmly grasping the main rope 12.

Next, in order to enter the gate and remove the main rope 12 from the racehorse 1, the guide pulls the auxiliary rope 13 in the direction of the proximal end of the main rope 12, as shown by arrow A in FIG. As a result, the thin string body 18 connected to the tip of the sub-rope 13 can be inserted into the engaged holes 16a and 16b, respectively.
and is pulled out from the engagement holes 17b and 17a as shown in FIG. It can be removed from the ring 3 etc. in the horse 1's bit 2.

In this case, according to the illustrated embodiment, the proximal end side of the sub-rope 13 is irremovably connected to the loop-shaped grip portion 23 at the proximal end of the main rope 12 via the interlocking ring. It is possible to prevent the auxiliary rope 13 from coming off the main rope 12 after being removed from the racehorse 1 and losing the auxiliary rope 13 with the thin string body 18.

Moreover, FIGS. 4 to 6 show a second embodiment,
