Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cow joint protection band.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, cows reared in straw-stowed pens or pastures have not damaged their leg joints when sleeping or waking up. Therefore, there was no need to protect the joints, and there was no joint protection band for cattle.

[0003]

However, recently, cows are sometimes bred by connecting them on concrete, and when the cows fall down or get up, the leg joints are smashed with concrete, resulting in bruises. And problems such as arthritis.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention relates to a joint protection band capable of preventing injuries such as bruise and arthritis of a cow's leg.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a cow joint protection band according to the present invention comprises a cloth body for externally fitting to a joint of a cow leg, and an outer surface of the cloth body. An elastic body attached to the cow body and curved so as to wind the joint of the cow leg, and a flexible member for fixing the cloth body to the cow leg, wherein the elastic body is rubber or soft plastic. Is formed in a bellows shape.

In addition, the peaks and the valleys of the bellows-like elastic body are arranged in the cutting direction, and the flexible members are arranged above and below the elastic body. The flexible member is a planar fastener.

[0007] Further, the elastic body is provided so as to cover the front surface of the front leg of the cow. Further, the elastic body is provided so as to cover the outer surface of the rear leg of the cow.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings showing embodiments.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 show an embodiment of a cattle joint protection band according to the present invention. The joint protection band includes a cloth body 1 for externally fitting to a joint of a cow leg, and a cloth body. An elastic body 3 attached to the outer surface 2 of the cowl 1 and curved so as to wind around a leg joint; a flexible member 4 for fixing the cloth body 1 to a cow leg;
It has.

In the illustrated example, a joint protection band for the front leg of a cow is shown. More specifically, the cloth body 1 includes a cloth layer 5, a foamed rubber layer 6, and a cloth layer 5 sequentially laminated from the outer surface 2 side. It is considered to be excellent in elasticity.

The curved elastic body 3 is formed in a bellows shape with rubber or soft plastic, and its peak 7
a and the valleys 7b are arranged in the cutting direction. The elastic body 3 has a longitudinal cut 8, and the cloth 1 is inserted into the elastic body 3 from the cut 8 (the cloth 1 is sandwiched between the elastic bodies 3), and the upper end 3 a of the elastic body 3 is formed. The lower end 3b is fixed to the outer surface 2 of the cloth body 1. More specifically, the upper and lower edges of the elastic body 3 are covered with a flexible band 9 and sewn together with the flexible band 9 to the cloth body 1.

The cloth body 1 is longer than the length of the elastic body 3, and the left and right edges 10, 10 are the cuts 8 of the elastic body 3.
It is set to a width dimension that protrudes sufficiently from the outside.

The flexible member 4 includes a loop member 14 and a hook member.
15 is a band-shaped planar fastener F having an outer surface side of 15 and
It is disposed above and below the elastic body 3. That is, a pair of upper and lower planar fasteners F, F are sewn on the upper and lower portions of the cloth body 1 and in the lateral direction. Since the upper planar fastener F is wound around a thick portion above the joint of the front leg 16 of the cow, the upper planar fastener F is longer than the lower planar fastener F. ing. Ring portions 12, 12 are formed at base ends 11b, 11b of the pair of planar fasteners F, F, respectively, and ring members 13, 13 are attached to the ring portions 12, 12, respectively.

In this case, the base end of the planar fastener F
The loop member 14 extends from 11b to the vicinity of the tip 11a,
The hook member 15 is used as the hook member 11a, but may be reversed.

As shown in FIG. 4, the joint protection band of the present invention covers and protects the front surface of the cow's front leg 16 with the elastic body 3. The side is externally fitted with the cloth body 1, the upper and lower planar fasteners F are wound around the front leg 16, the leading end 11 a is passed through the ring member 13 and turned back to eliminate slack, and the hook member 15 is attached and fixed to the loop member 14. At this time, since the elastic body 3 is formed so as to have a substantially C-shaped cross section, the joint of the front leg 16 is easily fitted to the outside.

By installing the joint protection band, when the cow falls down or rises, the elastic body 3 serves as a cushion and the joint is not hit hard on a hard floor surface such as concrete. That is, obstacles such as bruises and arthritis can be prevented. Also, by attaching a joint protection band to a cow whose joint has already been damaged, it serves as a bandage for protecting the wound from the outside. Further, since the elastic body 3 is formed in a bellows shape, the elastic body 3 is excellent in elastic deformation of expansion and contraction and bending,
It can cope with 16 bends and stretches without giving the cow a sense of incompatibility.

Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the cow joint protection band according to the present invention, which is attached to the rear leg 17. FIG. 5 shows the outside of the rear leg 17,
FIG. 6 shows the inside of the rear leg 17.

That is, the joint protection band for the rear leg is a cloth 1
And a bellows-like elastic body 3 and upper and lower flexible members 4 and 4 (sheet fasteners F, F), and the elastic body 3 is a cow's rear leg.
17 is provided so as to cover the outer surface.

More specifically, the cloth body 1 includes a rear leg.
The elastic body 3 is formed to have a size such that the outer surface, the rear surface, and a part of the inner surface of the rear leg 17 are externally fitted and covered, and the elastic body 3 is curved to wind the outer surface, the rear surface, and a part of the inner surface of the rear leg 17. Have been.

When mounting, (as described above)
Wrap the upper and lower planar fasteners F around the front legs 16 and
Is passed through the ring member 13 and folded to eliminate slack, and the hook member 15 is attached and fixed to the loop member 14. This protects the outer surface (flying) of the joint, and can prevent disorders such as bruises and arthritis that occur when the cow sleeps or wakes up, and fly swelling that occurs when the cow is lying down. .

[0021]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

According to the first aspect, the joint of the cow leg can be securely and easily wrapped and protected. Therefore,
By attaching the joint protection band (of the present invention) to cattle that are bred on a hard floor surface, such as concrete, for example, they prevent bruises and arthritis that may occur when the cows lie down or stand up. It can be prevented beforehand. Also, by attaching a joint protection band to a cow whose joint has already been damaged, it serves as a bandage for protecting the wound from the outside.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the cow can easily lie down and stand up because the cow's leg does not obstruct the bending operation even when the joint protection band is attached. According to the third aspect, the joint protection band can be quickly and easily attached to and detached from the cow leg.

According to the fourth aspect, the front side of the joint of the front leg 16 which is easily damaged when the cow stands up can be reliably protected. According to the fifth aspect, it is possible to reliably protect the outer surface side (jump) of the joint of the rear leg 17, which is easily damaged when the cow is lying down.
