Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Object of the Invention) The present invention realizes a cat toy made of a novel structure of a hollow spherical body, which is easy for a cat to play, by Matatabi, which is said to have an effect of fixing all the diseases of the cat, and It is intended to provide an efficient manufacturing method.

(Prior Art) Local products are very popular in various regions in response to various factors such as revitalization of local economy, hometown orientation of urban people, and creation of rich daily necessities reflecting a rich society.
However, on the other hand, perhaps due to the fate of the administrative personnel who play a leading role, it is easy to imitate the special products that succeeded in other regions and make special products without failure, or even if not imitate. The materials that represent the region are the same, and because we made special products without making any special efforts, we were able to produce similar products here and there. However, there are not many unique products that are difficult to obtain, and the reality is that they are not able to produce the expected special products even if they are motivated.

In this invention, while repeating similar searches in such a situation, we have been trying to find the material unique to the region and have been examining its unique application. As a good material that links the pet boom that reflects life, Matatabi (cat's favorite food) grows up around the fact that a lot of them grow naturally around, and as a result of promoting the development of cat toys, it is finally found elsewhere. We succeeded in the realization of an extremely unique product that was unique, and we were convinced that it could be a specialty product only in this region.

(Structure of the Invention) As can be clearly understood from the representative embodiment shown in the drawings, the cat toy of the present invention basically has a hand-shaped skeleton with a vine vine or other thin vine-shaped material as the skeleton 1. The hollow skeleton body 2 is formed, and the hollow skeleton body 2 is added to the skeleton material 1, and the matatabi split material 3 obtained by vertically breaking the vines of the matatabi is knitted into a hollow spherical body.

As the skeleton material 1, a relatively thin vine vine having a diameter of about 3 to 5 mm is used as a hollow skeleton body 2 forming a hollow skeleton body 2 without peeling the skin (therefore, the color is dark brown). It is cut to an appropriate length depending on the size, and it is used by pouring hot water immediately before it or soaking it in water for about 2 hours in order to make it easier to handle when knitting the hollow skeleton body 2. To do so.

In addition, depending on the region, it is of course possible to use other vines that can provide the same strength as the hollow skeleton body 2 instead of the akebi.

Matatabi splitting material 3 is 3m in width by splitting the vine into two pieces and dividing the sponge-like core material that constitutes the central part of the vine cross section of Matatabi into two halves.
It is recommended to use a thin string that is about 1 mm thick and has a thickness of about 1 mm. For the skin part, if you attach importance to the light shade of the bark, you can remove it in advance when it is in the vine condition, and the skin will be peeled off so that the cat is happy to eat it. It can be used as it is as a snack for cats, or it can be combined and used as the cat toy of the present invention.

Hereinafter, specific examples of the cat toy will be successively explained with reference to some representative embodiments shown in the drawings.

(Example 1) In this example, as can be understood from the longitudinal sectional view shown in FIG. 9 and the perspective view showing one aspect in the final step of manufacturing shown in FIG. This is an example of a cat toy toy in which the matatabi split material 3 is woven together only on one side to enhance the design effect by the contrast between the color of the skeletal material 1 and the color of the matatabi split material 3.

As shown in the above-mentioned basic structure, the matabi split material 3 used in this case must be the matabi split material 3 formed by removing the skin of the vine of the matabi in advance.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, the matatabi split material 3 is added to both sides of the vine skeleton vine that is the skeleton material 1, and the skeleton material 1 appears to float in the center of the matatabi split material 3 when knitting. It is designed to expect a design effect, and it gives a three-dimensional appearance and forms an extremely lovely sphere. As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 7 showing one aspect in the middle of the final step, There is no problem with the final cat toy toy of the present invention in which the matatabi split material 3 is added to only one side of the skeleton material 1, and this is also included in the present invention.

Those made up of these examples not only have a three-dimensional effect in terms of hue, but also have a structure in which the hollow portion of the hollow spherical body can be seen through and the three-dimensional effect is further emphasized. It can also be used as a simple decoration that is hung as described above, and can be provided as a cat toy that also uses those decorations as needed.

(Example 2) In the following example, the hollow part of the hollow spherical body which becomes the cat toy toy is transparent and can be seen in the front, rear, left and right, but the vine of Matatabi is peeled off. Therefore, in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 9, the hollow portion between the portions indicated by the cross-section lines is directly packed with rolled skin, or is put into a bag as appropriate and packed, and the whole body is transparent and invisible. This is an example of a cat toy that is more effective with the so-called Matatabi effect.

In the case where the matatabi skin is packed into a bag and packed, the mat itself has an effect of matatabi on its surface, that is, the volatile matatabilactone actinidine contained in matatabi causes all cats to become anesthetized. It can be used as a material to fulfill the function of recognizing the origin, the explanation of the effect given as a snack, or the introduction of the area.

(Other related inventions) The cat toy of the present invention represented by each of the above-described embodiments is manufactured by the following manufacturing process.

First, a vine material of a thin akebi or other vine-like material is soaked in water or passed through hot water to be softened to form a skeleton material 1, and by the softened skeleton material 1, the following ring is formed under the portion a of the first ring. The first step of knitting the skeletal material 1 by the knitting method shown in FIGS. 1 to 2 so as to form two crossing portions a and b having a relationship such that the portion b is located.

Subsequently, the third loop portion c is knitted in such a manner that it is located below the second loop portion b and above the first loop portion a, and the knitting method shown in FIG. The second step of knitting the skeleton material 1.

The third step is such that the fourth ring portion d is located below the third ring portion c, above the second ring portion b, and below the first ring portion a. After knitting in the knitting manner shown in FIG. 4 of the relationship, the size of the portion S shared by the four ring portions a, b, c, d is, for example, as shown in FIG. A step of appropriately sizing the trapezoidal glass G so that it fits in a proper place, and then putting other parts together around it to obtain the state shown in FIG.

Then, as a fourth step, a step of unraveling the skeleton materials 1 put together in the above step up and down to form a hand-shaped hollow skeleton body 2.

Finally, the core material of the central part is removed from the vine of Matatabi, and the Matatabi split material 3 cut into approximately the same width and thickness is knitted along with the skeleton material 1 of the hollow skeleton body 2 formed in the shape of a hand. Iki, the process of making a hollow spherical cat toy.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the matabi split body 3 is put together only on the lower side (on the drawing) of the skeleton material 1, and thereafter, the skeleton material 1 remains from the state shown in the perspective view of FIG. A hollow that is arranged so that the matatabi split body 3 is added to the side (upper side in the drawing), and finally the matatabi split body 3 is arranged on both sides of the skeleton 1 in the state as shown in FIG. Make a sphere,
The cat toy of this invention is completed.

(Effects and Effects) Although the cat toy toy of the present invention having the above-described structure has been known as a material that cats prefer until now, it is like a scent bag that is simply packed without any special effort. Or, the matatabi that was used only as a material that was used only in combination with a nail sharpening plate and some other materials for cat equipment and used only its odor to attract cats, In the invention, since it is used as a direct constituent material, and the cat is braided into a hand-shaped spherical body that is the most playable, the cat volatility directly emitted from Matatabi is very attractive to the cat. It rolls well, and every time it plays, the cat's claws get caught in the stitches and make complicated movements.
Because it can be played as a fresh toy at any time without getting tired, it is expected that it will be greatly welcomed as a very fun and valuable toy for cats who love cats.

In this way, it is a toy that attracts a lot of interest to cats and makes them roll extremely violently in an excited state, and depending on how it is made, it may be easily melted or it may be crushed. In the invention, since the hollow skeleton body 2 is knitted with the vine-like vine or other vine-like material having strong strength as the skeleton material 1 and it is used as the reinforcing skeleton, it may lose its role as a toy in a short period of time. Not only that, but also in terms of manufacturing characteristics, it is possible to knit the Matatabi split body 3 using this hollow skeleton body 2 with good shape retention as a guide, and even Matatabi, which is a little weak in terms of material, can be handled very easily and is special. It can be easily manufactured without training, and it can be manufactured easily, and it can be suitable for commercialization as a local specialty product. Than it is.

In addition, since the hollow skeleton body 2 is combined with the structure, it can be excellent in design effect as shown in Example 1, and the Matatabi effect can be obtained as in Example 2. It can be formed into a structure that further enhances the value of the product, further increasing the added value as a special product and further advantageous in terms of commercialization.

As mentioned above, this invention makes use of the vine of Matatabi, which is not always rare as a raw material, and is a product that is in line with the current trends, and is also a very characteristic product that is easy to manufacture and easy to commercialize. It is successful, and it is of course expected that it will be highly praised as a good example of making specialty products, and as a result, it will greatly contribute to the revitalization of the region.
