Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner for fur-bearing animals for collecting parasitic insects such as fleas and lice found in the fur of fur-bearing animals.

(Problems with the Prior Art) Conventionally, metal combs with relatively small tooth spacing have been used to collect parasitic insects from furry animals such as cats and dogs.

By using this comb, it is easy to remove parasitic insects from the hair onto the comb, but it is difficult to completely capture and kill the extracted parasitic insects. That is, if several parasitic insects are taken out, the other parasitic insects will escape while one parasitic insect is being captured.
Additionally, parasitic insects that are collected are often killed by crushing them with one's fingernails, but this is unhygienic.

Furthermore, when using the above-mentioned comb, the feces and skin waste of the parasitic insects, which have become black particles, are removed onto the comb or transferred to the upper part of the hair, and these There was also the problem that most of the combs fell off the comb immediately after being removed or moved, making the surrounding area dirty and unsanitary.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional methods and means for collecting parasitic insects of fur animals, and is intended to collect not only parasitic insects of fur animals but also skin wastes and parasitics. An object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum cleaner for fur animals that can efficiently collect insect feces and the like and dispose of them hygienically and easily.

(Structure of the invention) The structure of the invention includes a suction device having a filter, and a suction end portion that is substantially in a plane and has a partially cutout portion, which is communicated with the suction device. A furry animal comprising: a suction nozzle; and a comb portion that is attached to the inside of the cutout portion with the tip inclined inward, and the tip of the comb portion is in the same plane as the plane of the suction end portion. It is a vacuum cleaner.

The configuration of the present invention also has a suction end that is substantially in a plane and has a partially cut-out notch, and the suction device communicates with the suction nozzle and is inclined so that the tip is inward. The cleaning member for fur-covered animals is characterized in that the cleaning member includes a comb portion that is attached to the inside of the notch portion and whose tip is in the same plane as the plane of the suction end portion.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the vacuum cleaner for fur animals according to the embodiment has a form similar to a commonly used rechargeable portable hand cleaner. The casing 1 consists of a main body part 2 and a nozzle part 4, and as shown in FIG. 3, the main body part 2 and the nozzle part 4 are integrated by screwing together.

The main body part 2 has a male thread 15 formed at its front end, and has a handle 6, a power switch 8, and a plurality of exhaust holes 10 on its upper surface. The main body 2 houses an intake fan 12, a motor 14 for rotating the intake fan 12, and a rechargeable battery (not shown) for the motor.

The nozzle part 4 forms an intake hole 20 at the front end,
A female thread 22 that screws into the male thread 15 is formed at the rear end. A holding member 24 is also detachably attached to the rear end of the nozzle portion 4 to prevent the filter bag 26 from slipping out.

The filter bag 26 is made of a material with a certain degree of rigidity and has shape retention properties. Filter bag 26
An inlet plate 30 having a small circular hole 28 is attached to the inlet portion facing the intake hole 20.

As shown in FIG. 2, the front end of the nozzle part 4 is
An end portion 32 forming the intake hole 20 is formed substantially flat, and a front portion thereof is cut out and a comb 34 is disposed therein. It is desirable to attach a support member made of a flexible material to the front end. Comb 3
4 is a line perpendicular to the center of the plane of the end portion 32 whose virtual extension surface forms the intake hole 20 and the intake hole 2 of the nozzle portion 4.
0 and extends to a height approximately equal to the plane.

When using the vacuum cleaner for fur animals with the above configuration,
The fur cleaner is pulled and moved so that the end 32 is approximately parallel to the animal's skin. When the fur cleaner for animals is used on an animal, the comb 34 is inclined so that the tip of the comb 34 penetrates the skin and runs through the fur. As a result, the parasitic insects in the hair are placed on the comb 34 and moved to the roots of the comb teeth, where they are sucked into the filter bag by the suction force of the suction section. The same applies to skin waste products that have adhered to the skin.

Another embodiment of the present invention is formed so that the nozzle part 4 of the above embodiment is connected to a suction part of a general vacuum cleaner. In this case, the filter bag 26 may be placed inside the vacuum cleaner.

Another embodiment of the present invention is configured to include a heater around the filter bag 26 that heats it at about 50° C., and the heating kills the lice.

Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, the filter bag is made of a flexible material, and the inlet plate is fixed to the nozzle part.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, the waste products from the skin of parasitic insects removed by the comb are immediately sucked into the filter bag, and these products do not escape or spill from there, so that the skin wastes of the parasitic insects are removed by the comb. It has the advantage that not only parasitic insects of animals but also skin waste products and parasitic insect feces can be efficiently collected and disposed of in a hygienic and easy manner.
