Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Field of industrial application" This invention relates to toys for pet animals, zoo animals, etc.

``Prior Art'' Conventionally, toys for pet animals have been sold, but all of them are made of rubber or stuffed animals, and because they are based on the animal's sense of sight, they have the drawback that their curiosity is easily overcome. There is also a pet toy that has a hole slightly larger than the spherical solid food to be filled in the container, but once the food spills out, the pet stops moving and eats the food, so the amount of exercise is small and There was a defect in which food (favorite food) was scattered around, resulting in unsanitary and unclean conditions (Utility Model Publication No. 45407, 1983).

``Problem that the invention aims to solve'' This invention solves the lack of exercise in not only pets but also animals kept in zoos, such as relatively intelligent dogs and cats, by using their sense of smell. This is an attempt to prevent unsanitary and filthy conditions caused by the scattering of waste.

``Means for solving the problem'' This proposal movably supports food odor odorants in the center of a transparent sealed container using a rubber string stretched between the inner facing surfaces of the container. It consists of an animal toy with a through hole for odor dissipation.

``Effect'' Therefore, when a sealed container is given to a pet animal such as a dog or cat, the food odor emanating from the odor-emitting substance emanates from the odor-emitting hole, so the pet becomes curious about the container through its sense of smell and sight. , then put out your hand and roll the container. When the container is rolled, the odor-emitting substance inside moves, which arouses the pet's curiosity and plays with the container by rolling it further.

``Example'' A transparent sealed container 1 made of synthetic resin is formed into a spherical shape as shown in FIG. 1 or into a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 2, and a plurality of through holes 2 for odor dissipation are bored therein. The sealed container 1 can be opened and closed or divided from the male and female fitting parts 3 as shown in FIG. 3, and as shown in FIG. 2
As shown in the figure, dried fish is used as the odorant 4, but a holder in the shape of a fish or other shape is made of synthetic resin, and absorbent cotton that has absorbed odor-emitting liquid such as fish odor is held in the holder. An odor-emitting substance 4 may be formed, and the odor may be any fish odor, beef odor, or other food odor. Such an odor-emitting substance 4 can be installed by providing pins 6, 6 on the interior facing surfaces of the container 1, connecting one end of the rubber strings 5, 5 to the pins 6, 6, and connecting the other end with a mounting bracket 7. Rubber strings 5, 5 are stretched between the opposing surfaces. The mounting fitting 7 is located in the center of the interior of the container 1, penetrates the odor-emitting substance 4, and supports the odor-emitting substance 4 on the metal fitting 7. The odor object 4 oscillates.

``Effects'' This invention is configured as described above, so if you give the above toy to a pet, it will get used to the toy well, get good exercise, and relieve the pet's stress, thereby eliminating the pet's lack of exercise. When they are hungry, they eat well and when they are tired, they sleep well, which not only keeps them healthy, but also improves the mental function of pet animals, which people can enjoy watching and maintain good contact between animals and humans. . Since the odor-generating substances 4 are not scattered outside from the container 1, it is clean and sanitary, and the amount of exercise can be increased.
