2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when an animal such as a dog is taking a walk while pulling it with a string, if the animal starts taking an arbitrary action, it is attempted to stop the action by pulling a string. However, simply pulling it will lead to animal and human competition. Therefore, owners and specialized trainers who are familiar with the habits of animals and are accustomed to training should avoid pulling strings as much as possible, and only when it is necessary to convey some intention, use a short action with a short action. He communicates to animals by pulling the end and communicating the action through a drawstring.

[0003]

When trying to teach an animal such as a dog, a monkey, a horse, or the like, the action described above may be transmitted, but a general owner who does not know the behavior of the animal well Especially for those who have pets for the first time, it is not easy to do so, it is difficult to pull the animal or just drag the animal and give the animal a chance to discipline it so that it does not take the action again. Often missed.

In order to reduce the burden on the owner when the dog strongly pulls the chain during a walk, a drawstring tool in which a shock absorbing spring is inserted has been proposed. Since the action of the is constantly acting, the shock of the action is absorbed by the spring, and it is difficult for the owner's intention to be transmitted to the animal. An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and to communicate the intention of the owner to the target animal easily and in a timely manner even by a person who keeps a pet for the first time, Is to provide tools.

[0008] The first fitting 2 is attached through a pair of holes 1a, 1a opened near one end of the cover pipe 1. Further, at a part of the other end of the cover pipe 1, there are provided protrusions 1b, 1b, 1b which are bent so as to protrude toward the inside of the pipe tube. A slide fitting 5 is attached to one end of the chain 4. Both ends of the coil spring 3 are regulated by the protrusions 1b, 1b, 1b and the slide fitting 5.

The chain 4 passes through the inside of the coil spring 3, and therefore passes through the center of the cover pipe 1 and is drawn out from the other end of the cover pipe 1. A second fitting 6 is engaged with an end of the chain 4 drawn out. The use of chains without using other wires or rod-shaped shafts in this part is because every part bends sharply and there is little wear even if it is rubbed with metal.
° It is because it can be freely turned. And recently,
It is also aesthetically pleasing, as chains are often preferred for collars and drawstrings. Normally, the first connecting fitting is connected to a drawstring held by the owner or trainer (not shown), and the second connecting fitting is connected directly or via a chain to the collar of a pet such as a dog. To use. FIG. 4 shows an example of such a use state.

When no force is applied to the coil spring 3 from the outside, it extends sufficiently as shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the state of FIG. 4, the weight of the drawstring 7 and the weight of the embodiment is added, and the tension for movement such as when the animal (dog) 10 naturally walks is applied. In a compressed state. Therefore, the change in the pulling strength between the animal 10 and the human hand is smoothed by the coil spring 3, and the animal 10 becomes invisible.

In such a state, if the owner wants to stop walking suddenly or warns the user not to take a selfish action, and conveys the intention of the owner, simply pull the pull cord 7 quickly and shortly. Is fine. At this time, the coil spring 3 contracts instantaneously with the speed at which the animal (dog) 10 moves away from the owner and the speed at which the drawstring 7 is pulled. FIG. 3 is an essential part of a cross-sectional view (front view) showing a state where the coil spring 3 of the embodiment of FIG. 1 is completely contracted.

The slide fitting 5 is connected to the projecting portions 1b, 1 of the cover pipe 1 via the coil spring 3 which has been completely contracted.
b, 1b and gives an impact. Therefore, the owner's intention is that the drawstring 7, the first connecting fitting 2, the cover pipe 1, the coil spring 3, which has been fully contracted, the sliding fitting 5,
It can be effectively transmitted to an animal 10 such as a dog via the chain 4, the second coupling fitting 6, and the collar 8. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a state in which the owner takes an action of communication while using the embodiment of FIG. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the combination of the first coupling 2 and the second coupling 6 to be coupled to each other may be reversed.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view (front view) showing another embodiment of the present invention which is different from FIG. In FIG.
11 is a cover pipe, 12 is a first connection fitting, 13 is a coil spring, 14 is a chain, 15 is a slide fitting, 16
Is a second connection fitting. A pair of holes formed near one end of the cover pipe 11 are provided with a coupling portion 11a that can engage the first coupling fitting 12 outside and the coil spring 13 inside. Protrusions 11b, 11b, 11b are provided at a part of the other end of the cover pipe 1 so as to protrude toward the inside of the pipe cylinder. A slide fitting 15 is attached to one end of the chain 14. Both ends of the coil spring 13 are connected to the connecting portion 11a.
And the slide fitting 15 are engaged with the slide fitting 1.
Depending on the position of 5, the length of the coil spring 13 changes.

The coil spring 13 is connected to the cover pipe 1.
It expands and contracts inside the cylinder 1 and is shortest when no external force is applied, as shown in FIG. When the chain 14 is pulled outward through the second fitting 16, the coil spring 13 extends. Usually, the first fitting 12 is
The second connecting metal fitting 16 is used by directly or via a chain or the like with a drawstring held by the owner or the trainee (not shown) and a collar of a pet such as a dog. This use state is the same as that of FIG.

In the state shown in FIG. 4, the weight of the drawstring 7 and the present embodiment is added, and the tension for movement such as when the animal (dog) 10 walks naturally is applied. It is in an unstable state. Therefore, the change in the pulling strength between the animal 10 and the human hand is smoothed by the coil spring 3 so that the animal 10 is not conscious. From such a state,
When it is desired to convey the owner's intention, for example, to stop walking suddenly or to warn the user not to take arbitrary actions, the same operation as in the case of FIG. 5 may be performed.

At this time, the speed at which the animal (dog) 10 or the like moves away from the owner is added to the speed at which the drawstring 7 is pulled, and the coil spring 13 is instantaneously extended, and the slide fitting 15 is extended to the cover pipe 11. Projections 11b, 11b, 1
At 1b, an impact is generated. Therefore, the owner's intention is that the drawstring 7, the first joint fitting 12, the cover pipe 1
1, slide fitting 15, chain 14, second connecting fitting 16,
It can be effectively transmitted to an animal 10 such as a dog via the collar 8.

[0017]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, in normal use, the coil spring absorbs the change in the pulling strength between the animal and the human, so that the
Do not give the awareness that people are being drawn. When you want to communicate the owner's intention, the cushion action of the coil spring does not work from such a state, so the owner's action can be directly transmitted to the animal, and anyone can easily shorten the drawstrings Just pulling it has the effect that the intention can be effectively communicated to the animal.
