Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pet accessory that can be easily and quickly assembled to a collar or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art To attach an accessory such as a name plate indicating the owner's name, address, or pet's nickname to the collar of a pet such as a dog or cat, cuts are made on both the collar side and the accessory side. It is common practice to form a ring-shaped connecting portion that is not present and to connect these by, for example, a metal ring body.

[0003]

The task of attaching accessories to the collar is to twist the ring body and pry open the joints, insert this portion into both the attachment parts on the collar side and the accessory side, and then insert the ring. It was necessary to twist the body back to its original shape and close the joint or crimp it. However, this work is a detailed work,
Since it requires power, it is troublesome and difficult, and there is a drawback that work efficiency is poor.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pet accessory that allows easy and quick assembly of a collar or the like.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the following technical measures have been taken in order to achieve the above object. That is, in the present invention as set forth in claim 1, the main body portion is constituted by a plurality of members that can be engaged and disengaged with each other, and each member is joined together to form an insertion hole for the ring body when the two are engaged. It is characterized in that each piece is provided.

With such a structure, when the plurality of members (hereinafter, referred to as two members) are in the detached state, the respective connecting portion constituent pieces do not form the hole shape, so that the ring body can be easily attached and detached. That is, if the two members are engaged and disengaged while being simultaneously attached to and detached from the ring body, those operations become extremely easy and quick. In each connecting part constituent piece, a shape having a cut portion in a part of the ring shape is provided at a position where they do not match when the two members are engaged, and the mutual contact surfaces of the connecting part constituent pieces are kept even from the engaged state of the two members. The ring body can be made detachable via the or the cut portion (claim 2).

That is, even when the two members are already engaged, the ring body is pushed through the mutual contact surfaces of the connecting part constituting pieces forming the ring shape (hole shape), and the cut parts are formed. The ring body can be fitted into the ring shape (hole shape) by twisting the ring body at the position corresponding to. Further, by performing the operation in the reverse order, the ring body can be removed or attached from the ring shape (insertion hole) of the two members in the engaged state in the manner of a so-called "wheel of wisdom". In this way, the disengagement of the ring body does not occur randomly and the detachment of the main body is reduced.

The two members may be formed in a shape capable of forming a container-shaped main body by engaging with each other (claim 3). The container in this case can be formed as, for example, a transparent case in which a name plate is placed, a decorative case in which a bell or the like is placed. In this case, the two members may be a combination in which both sides are symmetrically shaped, or a combination of asymmetrical shapes (for example, one is box-shaped and the other is lid-shaped). With such a configuration, even when various articles such as a name plate are put in and taken out from the main body (container), similar to the above, it is possible to easily and quickly attach and detach the ring body.

As the main body, it is possible to integrally connect the two members so that they can move in a butterfly motion (claim 4). With this configuration, the two members can be easily molded at low cost, and the two members can be easily engaged with each other.
