Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 show a pet combing device according to an embodiment of the present invention described in claim 1. The pet combing device indicated by reference numeral 1 in the drawings is a hollow tubular hair. A carding tool main body 2 is provided. A connection port 3 that can be connected to a hose H of a household vacuum cleaner (an example of an air suction device) is formed at one end of the combing tool main body 2, and a suction port 4 is formed at the other end.

[0008] The body 5 of the combing instrument main body 2 is formed in a flat rectangular tube shape large enough to be gripped by hand. A substantially cylindrical insertion portion 6 is formed on the connection port 3 side of the body portion 5. A plurality of step portions 7 are formed in the insertion portion 6 so as to reduce the diameter on the connection port 3 side so as to be able to be closely inserted into the open end portions of various hoses H having different inner diameters. Also, the portions before and after each stepped portion 7 are also tapered so as to reduce the diameter toward the connection port 3. On the other hand, on the suction port 4 side of the body portion 5, an expanding portion 8 is formed, which has a substantially semicircular cross section (see FIG. 3) and expands up and down, and the tip of the expanding portion 8 opens in a rectangular shape. The suction port 4 is provided. In addition, according to the blow molding of the synthetic resin, the whole hollow tubular combing device main body 2 including the body portion 5, the insertion portion 6, and the expanding portion 8 can be integrally molded as described above. In addition, a divided body (not shown) having a shape obtained by cutting the combing tool main body 2 along the line AA in FIG. 2 is formed by injection molding of a synthetic resin. By joining them in a state where they have been made, the combing tool main body 2 can also be formed.

An axial comb-shaped support 9 having a circular cross section is provided near the suction port 4.
Coarse comb teeth 10 and fine comb teeth 11 protrude, respectively. The comb teeth 10 are formed by arranging a plurality of protrusions 10 a formed in a triangular shape having a thin taper in a row in the axial direction of the comb tooth support 9. On the other hand, the comb tooth 11 is formed by arranging a plurality of projections 11 a formed in a thin rod shape in the same axial direction of the comb tooth support 9. Note that FIG.
As shown in (1), the comb teeth 10 and the comb teeth 11 are arranged in diametrical directions opposite to each other with the comb tooth support 9 as a center. Further, the comb teeth 10 and 11 are formed integrally with the comb tooth support 9 by a synthetic resin.

A pair of circular holes 12 and 13 are formed in the side wall of the combing device main body 2 near the suction port 4 so as to face each other, and one end of the comb tooth support 9 has a smaller diameter than the other portion. A small diameter portion 14 is formed, and the small diameter portion 14 is inserted into one of the circular holes 12. At the other end of the comb tooth support 9, a hexagonal column-shaped convex portion 15 similar to a hexagonal nut is formed. After this convex portion 15 is inserted into the other circular hole 13, the outer side of the combing tool main body 2 is formed. A disk member 16 (an example of a rotation operation unit) made of synthetic resin is attached. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the disk member 16 has a cylindrical body 17 protruding from the back surface thereof, and the protrusion 1 is provided inside the cylindrical body 17.
A hexagonal concave portion 18 to be fitted with 5 is formed. Then, the concave portion 18 and the convex portion 15 are fitted to each other to form the cylindrical body 1.
7 is inserted into the circular hole 13 and the disc member 16 and the comb-tooth support 9 are inserted.
By screwing a screw 19 into a screw hole formed between the support member 9 and the disk member 16, the comb-tooth support 9 and the disk member 16 are fixed to each other so as not to rotate relative to each other.

With the above structure, the comb-tooth support 9 is rotatably supported in the vicinity of the suction port 4 and the disc member 1 is rotatably supported.
When the finger 6 is picked and turned by hand, the comb-tooth support 9 rotates, and the comb teeth 10 and 11 alternately come and go from the suction port 4 with the rotation. The outer peripheral surface of the disk member 16 is provided with a notch for preventing slip. 3 indicates the comb teeth 10 and 11 when the comb tooth support 9 is rotated.
The trajectory of the tip is shown. As can be seen from this figure, the distance from the center of the comb support 9 to the tips of the comb teeth 10 and 11 is:
The distance is set slightly shorter than the distance from the center of the comb support 9 to the inner wall surface of the expanding portion 8, so that the comb teeth 10 and 11 come into contact with the flossing tool body 2 even when the comb support 9 rotates. Not to be.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a pair of engaging projections 20 are projected from the back surface of the disk member 16, and as shown in FIG. A plurality of engagement recesses 2 which engage with the engagement protrusions 20
1 is formed. The engagement projections 20, 20 are disc members 1
6, while the plurality of engaging recesses 21 are arranged at a predetermined pitch so as to form a circular arc centered on the circular hole 13 and deeper than a semicircle, Therefore, no matter which position the disk member 16 is rotated, at least one of the engagement protrusions 20 is engaged with one of the engagement recesses 21, and the disk member 16 and the comb-tooth support member are located at that position. 9 is fixed. The disk member 16 made of synthetic resin can be elastically deformed, and the elastically deformed disk member 16 is configured so that the engagement projection 20 and the engagement recess 21 can be disengaged.

When using the pet wool comb 1
As shown in FIG. 3, the insertion portion 6 is inserted into a hose H of a vacuum cleaner (not shown), and the disk member 16 is operated to operate the comb teeth 1.
Either 0 or the comb teeth 11 are projected from the suction port 4 at a desired angle. Then, the switch of the vacuum cleaner is turned on, the body 5 of the combing tool main body 2 is grasped by hand, and the pet hair is combed with the comb teeth protruding from the suction port 4. In this way, the removed hairs, dust, flea, etc. are sucked into the vacuum cleaner from the suction port 4, so that the surroundings are not stained and clean, and for example, the pets can be relaxed in the sitting room or living room. You can also comb your hair.

When the loose hair is entangled with the root of the comb tooth 10 (or the comb tooth 11) on which the hair is combed, the disk member 16 is operated, and the comb tooth is inserted into the hair combing tool main body 2. The comb-teeth support 9 is rotated until it is accommodated and its tip faces the connection port 3. Then, the entangled hair loss is pulled out from the root side of the comb teeth toward the tip side by the suction force of the vacuum cleaner, and is sucked into the vacuum cleaner. When the hair loss is removed, the disk member 16 is operated again so that the comb teeth protrude from the suction port 4, and the combing operation is continued.
By operating the disk member 16 in this manner, the hair loss entangled with the comb teeth can be removed, so that the hair loss can be removed in a shorter time without any trouble compared to the conventional method in which the hair loss is removed by hand, and Work can be performed efficiently.

Further, the pet wool comb 1 is provided with coarse comb teeth 10 and fine comb teeth 11,
For example, after roughly combing with the comb teeth 10 first, the comb teeth 11
Depending on the purpose and application, comb teeth 10 are used for finishing combing, and comb teeth 10 are used for removing hair loss at the time of hair replacement, and comb teeth 11 are used for flea removal and grooming at other times. It can be used properly and is very convenient.

Furthermore, since the comb-tooth support 9 can be fixed at an arbitrary rotation position in the pet wool comb 1, the angle of inclination of the comb-tooth protruding from the suction port 4 can be adjusted. Therefore, the comb teeth can be arbitrarily laid down and combed, or vice versa, depending on the length and quality of hair of the pet. In addition, for example, when the pet hair is turned upside down (reverse direction) and then the pet hair is turned upside down, as in the case where the pet hair is turned upside down, the comb teeth are operated by operating the disc member 16. Can be changed in accordance with the carding direction. In this way, the hose H is not twisted as in the case where the whole pet wooling implement 1 is inverted.

In this embodiment, the comb tooth support 9 has
Although two comb teeth 10 and 11 having different eye roughness are provided, only one comb tooth may be provided on the comb tooth support, and three or more comb teeth may be provided from the center of the comb tooth support. It may project radially.

Further, in the above, each of the comb teeth 10 and 11 is formed of the projections arranged in a row in the axial direction of the comb tooth support 9, but the comb teeth are formed by arranging the projections in two or more rows. You may. In the above, the comb teeth are integrally formed with the comb tooth support, but the comb teeth are formed by implanting a large number of relatively thin rod-shaped members made of wire, synthetic resin, or the like into the comb tooth support. There may be.

Further, a comb forming member 2 as shown in FIG.
5 may be used to form comb teeth. That is, the comb teeth forming member 25 is formed of a thin cylindrical boss 2 having a thickness of about 3 to 5 mm.
Six projections 27 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the boss 6, and projections 29 for preventing rotation are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the boss portion 26 facing the hollow portion 28. 10 to 10 of the comb teeth forming member 25
In a state where the twenty teeth are overlapped with each other, a core rod (not shown) having a groove for preventing rotation which engages with the projection 29 is inserted into the hollow portion 28 and connected to the comb-teeth forming member 25. Since the comb teeth are formed from the projections 27, a columnar comb-tooth support body having six rows of comb teeth on the periphery is formed.
The comb teeth forming member 25 can be easily formed by injection molding. The comb teeth forming member 25 is formed of a soft rubber-like synthetic resin, and the core rod is formed of a hard synthetic resin. It is also possible.

Further, in the above, the rotating operation part is formed by the disk member 16.
However, as long as the comb-teeth support 9 can be rotated from the outside of the combing instrument main body 2 and can be fixed at an arbitrary rotation position, the shape of the rotation operation part is arbitrary,
For example, the rotation operation unit may be configured by a handle-shaped member. Further, in the above description, the hose H of the vacuum cleaner is directly connected to the connection port 3, but another hose (not shown) having an appropriate length that is more flexible than the hose H is provided between the connection port 3 and the hose H. It is also conceivable that the pet wool can be handled more easily.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. 6 and 7 show a pet combing device according to an embodiment of the present invention described in claim 2. The pet combing device indicated by reference numeral 31 in the figure is a hollow cylindrical hair. A combing tool main body 32 is provided. A connection port 33 connectable to a hose H of the vacuum cleaner is formed at one end of the combing tool main body 32, and a suction portion 34 is formed at the other end.

The portion near the connection port 33 of the combing tool main body 32 has a substantially tapered cylindrical insertion portion 35 that can be inserted into the open ends of various hoses H having different inner diameters, similarly to the above embodiment.
It has become. On the other hand, the portion near the suction portion 34 of the combing tool main body 32 is a flat expansion portion 36 having a substantially triangular shape in a plan view, which expands in the lateral direction as it approaches the tip.

The suction part 34 includes a flat plate part 37 and a pair of side plate parts 38 extending forward from the expanding part 36.
The flat plate portion 37 is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view. On the other hand, the side plate portions 38 are erected on both side ends of the flat plate portion 37, respectively.
Reference numeral 4 is formed in a shallow U-shaped cross section with one surface (the upper surface in the figure) opened. On the surface of the flat plate portion 37 facing the air suction passage 39 communicating with the connection port 33, a plurality of combing projections 40 are provided in a protruding manner. Each wrist projection 40 is connected to the connection port 3
The side near the third is upright with respect to the flat plate portion 37, and the side farther from the connection port 33 is formed in a substantially right-angled triangular plate shape. In addition, the pet wooling tool 31 is formed by integrally molding the whole with synthetic resin.

When using the pet combing device 31, the insertion portion 35 is inserted into a hose H of a vacuum cleaner (not shown) as shown in FIG. 7, and the combing device main body 32 is grasped by hand. The opening surface of the suction unit 34 is pressed against the body of the pet, and the hair is combed with the combing protrusions 40. In this way, hair loss, dust, flea dust, and the like are sucked into the vacuum cleaner through the air suction passage 39, so that the surroundings are not stained and clean.

At this time, the air flow due to the suction by the vacuum cleaner is transverse to the projecting direction of the combing projection 40, and the upstream side of the combing projection 40 in the air flow direction has a tip. Is inclined so as to retreat to the downstream side as approaching, so that the loose hairs are less likely to be caught on each of the combing projections 40, and even if they are caught, even if they are caught by wind force, from the root side to the tip side of the combing projections 40. It is displaced from the fluff projections 40 and sucked into the vacuum cleaner. For this reason, a large amount of hair loss does not become entangled with the hair comb projections 40, and it is not necessary to remove the hair loss, so that the combing operation can be performed efficiently.

The pet combing device 31 has a simpler structure than the pet combing device 1 of the above embodiment, and has an advantage that it can be manufactured at a very low cost by integrally molding synthetic resin. I have.

In this embodiment, the fluff projections 40 are formed integrally with the flat plate portion 37, but the fluff projections made of a different material from the flat plate portion 37 may be fixed or detachably mounted. Is also conceivable. Although not shown, a combing projection is provided on another plate body provided on the rear side of the flat plate portion so as to protrude from the through hole formed in the flat plate portion to the front side. Such a configuration is also conceivable. Further, as an application example of this configuration, the height of the carding protrusions can be increased or decreased according to the length of the pet's hair or the like by separating the plate body having the carding protrusions from the flat plate portion. A configuration is also conceivable.

Further, in the above embodiment, the fluffing projections 40
Is formed in a triangular plate shape in which the side on the upstream side in the air flow direction is inclined, but the shape of the fluffing protrusion is not limited to the plate shape, and may be any shape, for example, a conical shape, a cylindrical shape, a prismatic shape, or the like. .
Also, in any case, the surface of the fluffing projection on the upstream side in the air flow direction is preferably an inclined surface inclined toward the tip in the air flow direction downstream. Even if the surface is not inclined, the direction in which the air flows and the direction in which the combing projection projects are substantially perpendicular to each other.

[0029]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention,
In the pet combing device according to the above, the hose of the air suction device is connected to the connection port, the comb teeth are protruded from the suction port, and the pet hair is combed with the protruded comb teeth. Removed hairs, dust, flea dust, etc. are sucked into the air suction device through the suction port, so that the surroundings are not stained and clean. For example, comb the pet's hair while relaxing in the sitting room or living room. Can also. In addition, when the loose hair is entangled with the root of the comb teeth, operate the rotating operation unit,
When the comb tooth support is rotated to the position where the tip of the comb tooth is directed to the connection port, the entangled loose hair is pulled out from the root side of the comb tooth to the tip side by the suction force of the air suction device. The hair loss can be removed in a short time with less effort than in the above, and the combing operation can be performed efficiently.
Furthermore, since the comb-tooth support can be fixed at an arbitrary rotation position, the inclination angle of the comb-tooth protruding from the suction port can be adjusted, and the comb-tooth can be laid down according to the length and quality of hair of the pet. The combing can be arbitrarily performed, and the combing can be arbitrarily performed. In addition, when the combing direction is reversed, the hose can be prevented from being twisted by changing the direction of only the comb teeth.

In the pet combing device according to the second aspect of the present invention, the hose of the air suction device is connected to the connection port, and the opening surface of the suction portion is pressed against the pet body to comb the pet. When the hairs are combed with the projections, hair loss, dust, flea, etc. are sucked into the air suction device through the air suction passage, so that the surroundings are not stained and clean as described above. Also, at this time, since the direction of air flow in the suction section and the direction of projection of the fluffing projections are substantially perpendicular to each other, it is difficult for the loose hairs to be caught on the fluffing projections and a large amount of fluffing hairs is entangled with the fluffing projections. Absent. Therefore, since there is no need to take time to remove the tangled hair loss, the hair combing operation can be performed efficiently. Further, the pet wool comb has the advantage of a simple configuration and can be manufactured at a very low cost by integral molding of a synthetic resin or the like.
