Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a pet toy given to a pet animal that is interested in moving objects.

[Conventional technology]

As is well known, dogs, cats, and other pets are instinctively interested in moving objects, so they are given toys such as balls, sticks, and other objects that are easy to roll due to their external shape. .

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, according to the above-mentioned pet toys, highly interesting movements such as running away from a pet occur by chance, and the toy fully satisfies the interest of a pet that instinctively chases something that runs away. Therefore, there is a problem that pets tend to lose interest.

The technical objective of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a toy for pets that is highly interesting to pets and maintains such interest.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, this invention has a bowl-shaped toy body with an opening around it, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted in the center of the toy body, and a rotating shaft with a predetermined distance between the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft. The toy consists of an attached decoy body.

[Effect]

In the pet toy according to this invention, when the rotating shaft is rotated, the decoy body rotates around the rotating shaft and crosses the opening. At this time, to a pet watching the pet toy, the decoy body appears and disappears from the opening, as if it were running away and hiding inside the toy body.

〔Example〕

A first embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pet toy 1 of this embodiment includes a bowl-shaped toy body 3 with an opening 2 formed around it, and a rotating shaft 4 rotatably mounted in the center of the toy body. and a decoy body 5 attached to the rotary shaft 4 at a predetermined interval.

The toy main body 3 is made by curving the edges of a steel plate, synthetic resin, or other hard plate material into a regular hexagonal shape toward the bottom to form an upper main body 6 having openings 2 on every other side of the edges. A regular hexagonal bottom plate 8 is fixed to the lower part of the main body 6 with a plurality of screws 7.

As shown in FIG. 2, connecting holes 9 and 10 for rotatably supporting the rotating shaft 4 are formed in the center portions of the upper body 6 and the bottom plate 8, respectively, to connect the upper part of the rotating shaft 4. It projects upward from the hole 9, and its lower part is pivotally supported by a support pin 11 inserted into the connecting hole 10 in advance.

Two shafts 12 are attached to the lower part of the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 4 and rotate with a slight distance from the bottom plate 8, and a connecting cylinder 13 for these shafts protrudes laterally. . Further, a decoy body 5 having a mouse shape is fixed to the other end of the shaft 12 whose one end is fixed to the connecting cylinder 13, and in order to attach this decoy body 5 to the rotating shaft 4 at a predetermined interval, Adjust the length of the shaft 12. The above predetermined interval is, when rotating as described below,
The decoy body 5 is appropriately set through experimental operations so that it has a gap with the inner surface of the toy main body 3 and passes through the opening 2 so that it can be seen and hidden.

To use the pet toy 1 configured as described above, place the pet toy 1 in a position where it can be seen by the pet and rotate the upper part of the rotating shaft 4 with your finger, and the decoy body 5 opens the opening 2. It rotates across the toy body 3 and periodically appears and disappears from the opening 2 to give interest to the pet as appropriate.

A second embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

Incidentally, parts similar to those in the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted below.

Pet toy 1 which is the second embodiment of this invention
The toy main body 3 is formed into a circular bowl shape, and a rotary grip part 14 is provided on the upper part of the rotary shaft 4, and a bell is inserted into the rotary grip part 14 via a wire 15. A decorative member 16 is attached.

With this configuration, even if the pet shows interest with the sound of the bell and simply touches the decorative member 16, the decoy body 5 moves slightly together with the rotating shaft 4, so that interest can be improved.

The outer shape of the toy body 3 and the shape of the opening 2 are as follows:
The invention is not limited to the first and second embodiments described above; for example, the toy main body 3 may be formed into the shape of food, and the opening 2 may have a broken surface shape that looks like it has been gnawed by an animal. . In addition, the rotating shaft 4
shows one that can be rotated manually, but
It may be equipped with a drive device such as a motor.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the pet toy of this invention, the decoy body appears and disappears from the outside every time it crosses the opening, so it is highly interesting to the pet. This has the advantage of sustaining such interest.
