Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a gripping device for a leash for tethering pets such as dogs.

Generally, a ring-shaped gripping device is connected to the rear end of a leather string, synthetic resin string, or metal chain that is used to tether a pet such as a dog. Since it is made of a series of materials in an endless manner, it is possible to engage a gripping tool with a column that is open at one end to tether a pet to the column, but if both ends are closed. It is impossible to engage the gripping tool with the horizontal bars and posts, etc., which are used to hold pets, and it is not possible to tether pets to the horizontal bars and posts, which limits the range in which they can be tethered. It was hot.

This idea was created in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it expands the range in which pets can be tethered by making it possible to easily engage horizontal bars or columns that are closed at both ends. An object of the present invention is to provide a gripping tool for a drawstring.

Embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a gripper body, and 2 denotes an opening/closing member. The gripper body 1 is formed by bending a metal rod with a circular cross section into a hook shape at a predetermined curvature. A connecting piece 3 protruding radially outward is formed at its base 1a, and a through hole 3a is bored in the connecting piece 3.

The opening/closing member 2 is connected to the grip main body 1 in the direction of arrow A,
It is rotatably connected in the radial direction in the B direction, that is, on the same plane as the gripper main body 1, and opens and closes between the base portion 1a and the open end 1b of the gripper main body 1.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening/closing member 2 has a base end 2a pivotally attached to the base 1a of the grip main body 1 via a pin 4, and one end of a spring 5 wound around the outer circumference of the pin 4. 5a is engaged with the gripping tool main body 1, and the other end 5b is engaged with the opening/closing member 2, and a spring force is applied in a direction in which the opening/closing member 2 is normally continuous with the gripping tool main body 1 in an endless manner. The space between the base 1a and the open end 1b of the main body 1 is closed.

Therefore, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the opening/closing member 2 has its free end 2b in contact with the open end 1b of the gripper main body 1, and is gripped in the locking recess 6 formed in the free end 2b. The locking protrusion 7 formed on the open end 1b of the tool body 1 is in an engaged state to maintain an endless form.

Reference numeral 8 in the figure indicates a drawstring, or linking body, whose rear end 8a is anchored to the through hole 3a of the connecting piece 3.

In the above configuration, when taking a pet such as a dog for a walk, the user can safely accompany the pet in a tethered state by grasping the gripper main body 1.

On the other hand, for a support column (not shown) that is open at one end, the gripper main body 1 can be engaged using the same means as in conventional grippers, and pets can be tethered to the support. In particular, this invention allows the gripper main body 1 to engage with a horizontal bar or column (not shown) that is closed at both ends as described below.
Pets can be tethered to the horizontal bars and posts mentioned above.

That is, the outer surface of the opening/closing member 2 is brought into contact with a horizontal bar or column whose both ends are closed, and the opening/closing member 2 is pushed inward against the pin 4 against the spring force of the spring 5. The free end 2b of the opening/closing member 2 and the gripper main body 1 are rotated radially inward about the fulcrum and displaced to the state shown by the imaginary line D in FIG.
A gap W is formed between the open end 1b of the gripper body 1 and the horizontal bar or support is slid into the gripper main body 1 by passing through this gap W. It can be engaged to tether pets.

When the horizontal bar or support passes through the gap W and is located inside the gripper main body 1, the opening/closing member 2 is automatically moved to the solid line state in FIG. 1 by the spring force of the spring 5, that is, the free end. The locking recess 6 formed in 2b is connected to the locking convex portion 7 formed in the open end 1b of the gripper main body 1.
The gripper main body 1 is kept engaged.

When removing the gripper main body 1 from a horizontal bar or column whose both ends are closed, press the opening/closing member 2 with your fingertips to the state shown by the imaginary line in Fig. 1, and insert the gripper body 1 through the gap W formed in this case. The grip main body 1 can be pulled out from the horizontal bar or support.

Although the above embodiment describes an example in which the cross-sectional shape of the gripper main body 1 and the opening/closing member 2 is a perfect circle as shown in FIG. 3, this invention is not limited to the above embodiment. It may also be formed into an oval shape as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, although an example is described in which the gripper main body 1 and the opening/closing member 2 are formed into a circular endless shape, the shape is not limited to a circular shape, and may be formed into a triangular or quadrangular endless shape, for example. .

Further, although an example is described in which the opening/closing member 2 is configured to be rotated in the radially inward direction, this is not limited to the above embodiment, and the opening/closing member 2 is configured to be able to be rotated in the radially outward direction. may be configured.
However, in such a case, it is recommended that the opening/closing member 2 be set as close to the base 1a of the grip main body 1 as possible.

In addition, even if the locking protrusion 7 formed on the open end 1b of the gripper main body 1 and the locking recess 6 formed on the free end 2b of the opening/closing member 2 are formed oppositely to each other,
Alternatively, the above-mentioned implementation may be carried out by simply forming the free end 2b of the opening/closing member 2 to be brought into contact with and away from the open end 1b of the gripper main body 1 without forming the locking recess 6 and the locking protrusion 7. It has the same effect as the example.

As explained above, this invention has the advantage that the gripping tool body can be attached to and detached from the horizontal bar or column that is closed at both ends, and pets can be tethered to the horizontal bar or column. There is.
