However, these existing structures have the following problems.

(1) Cats are known as companion animals that play for a long time and sleep for a long time, but there is no cat house that can satisfy these two characteristics at once.

(2) In particular, because sleep and play are opposite to each other, a house and play equipment must be prepared separately. Accordingly, the cost and installation space required for separately preparing the house and the play equipment are required.

(3) Also, since the house or play equipment is often installed in a fixed type, there is a limit to the cat's ability to play with the house or play equipment. In particular, the rides are not moving, so cats don't play with them for a long time, so new rides are needed.

(4) As a way to solve this problem, there are small play equipment that cats can play with. However, these play equipment can be used when the cat is playing but cannot be used when sleeping, so a separate cat house must be purchased for sleeping.

(Configuration)

The cat house, which can also be used as a play equipment according to the present invention, is made of a hollow and a first pyramidal body 100 made of a regular polygonal pyramid shape without a base and a hollow, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 . and a second pyramidal body 200 formed in the form of a regular polygonal truncated pyramid without a base and an upper surface.

In particular, the first pyramidal body 100 and the second pyramidal body 200 connect the edges of the bottom surface to each other, and the second pyramidal body 200 has a cat that enters the inside through the open upper surface like a house without moving. The first pyramidal body 100 rotates according to the movement of the cat or the cat inside, so that it can play while moving.

In addition, since the first pyramidal body 100 is configured to allow cats to enter and exit at least five triangular surfaces 110a to 110e of an isosceles triangular shape, each cat enters and exits a cat house through several entrances. It allows cats to move in and out of multiple cat houses like a maze when multiple cat houses are assembled into one.

And the first pyramidal body 100 is formed to have a higher height than the second pyramidal body 200, so that the second pyramidal body 200 part functions as an entrance, and the first pyramidal body 100 part is a cat. It is designed to be able to sleep while lying down, or to rotate easily because it is narrow and long, so that when the cat moves, the cat's house can move with it.

On the other hand, at least one of the first pyramidal body 100 and the second pyramidal body 200 is equipped with a pressure sensor that checks whether a cat enters or exits, and when a cat is detected, any one of sound, music, and LED blinking is activated By composing it so that the cat is interested, it is possible to have more fun.

In addition, such a cat house can be used like a maze by combining several dogs into one, and by making at least one cat house in a different color, it goes well with the interior configuration and allows the cat to live conveniently and safely.

Hereinafter, such a configuration will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

end. first pyramid

The first pyramidal body 100, as shown in [Figs. 1] and [Fig. 2], is made at least in the shape of a regular polygonal pyramid, but is hollow and has a shape without a bottom surface. The first pyramidal body 100 may be configured to include at least five triangular surfaces 110a to 110e and a first connection portion 120 .

1. triangular face

The triangular surfaces 110a to 110e are configured to have a fan shape as a whole by connecting the hypotenuses of an isosceles triangle to each other, as shown in FIG. 2 . At this time, a sheath is placed between the two adjacent triangular faces 110a to 110e or made to have a thin thickness so that it can be folded between the triangular faces 110a to 110e through the hypotenuse.

Here, the triangular surfaces 110a to 110e are described by taking five as an example in [FIG. 2], but may be configured in more numbers than this. However, if set to 8 or more, there is an advantage that the first pyramidal body 100 can be easily rotated, but on the contrary, even if the cat lying in it moves a little, the first pyramidal body 100 rotates so that the cat can sleep. It is desirable to make 5 pieces in order to prevent them from interfering. In addition, three or four triangular faces may be manufactured, but it is difficult to have a play function because the first pyramidal body 100 cannot easily rotate.

On the other hand, the triangular surface (110a ~ 110e), as shown in [Fig. 1] and [Fig. 2], the inlet portion 111 is cut and configured to be usable. That is, the entrance part 111 is to be used as an entrance through which the cat can enter and exit easily by inserting a sheath so that it can be removed and used at times, so that the entrance part 111 can be easily pierced when desired. This is, when constructing one cat house as in [Fig. 1], it is possible to leave the entrance part 111 on each triangular surface 110a to 110e or use it by drilling at least one, but [Fig. 4] and [Fig. 5] When connecting several cat houses as shown in Fig. 1, the entrance part 111 of the part in contact with each other is drilled so that it can communicate with the neighboring cat house. At this time, the drawing shows an example of connecting six cat houses.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the triangular surfaces 110a to 110e, as shown in [Fig. 1] and [Fig. 2], a perforation line 112 is formed so that the vertex of an isosceles triangle can be cut to a certain size. . This is used when forming another entrance through which a cat can enter and exit at a position facing the entrance portion formed in the second pyramidal body 100 to be described later, or several cats as shown in [Fig. 4] and [Fig. 5]. When using a connected house, the central part is intended to serve as a passage for the cat to exit and enter the house of another cat.

2. Connection part

The connection part 120 is formed by extending the inclined surface of the triangular surface 110a formed at either end to the outside, as shown in FIG. 2 . And the protruding connection portion 120 is fixed as one by overlapping the triangular surface 110e formed at the other end, so that the first pyramidal body 100 can be assembled in the form of a regular polygonal pyramid that is hollow and has no base. Here, a through hole is formed in advance in the connecting portion 120 and the triangular surface 110e overlapping therewith, and a clip or the like is tilted so that it can be assembled into one. At this time, the clip to be used can be fixed by inserting it into a through hole using elastic deformation, assembling it in a one-touch method such as a snap fit, fastening or bonding a screw, or using a double-sided tape.

The first pyramidal body 100 made in this way is preferably formed to have a height longer than that of the second pyramidal body 200 to be described later, as shown in FIG. 1 . This is to ensure that the first pyramidal body 100, which is formed with a long length, touches the floor so that a space of sufficient width can be secured in which the cat can lie down or play while being stable.

In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first pyramidal body 100 is manufactured using corrugated cardboard or plastic, so that the hypotenuse of the triangular surface 110a can be easily folded and the first pyramidal body 100 is easily and conveniently made. Make it usable and make it usable.

I. 2nd angle non-body

The second prismatic body 200 is hollow, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, and has a truncated pyramid shape with the upper and lower surfaces open. This makes it possible to connect the long side of the bottom surface to the open part of the first pyramidal body 100 as described above, and serves as an entrance for the cat to enter the second pyramidal body 200 through the open top surface.

The second pyramidal body 200 is, as shown in FIG. 3 , at least five equilateral ladder surfaces 210a to 210e formed in an equilateral trapezoid shape, the second formed on the quadrilateral of the equilateral ladder surface 210a at one end. The connecting portion 220, and the third connecting portion 230 respectively formed on the bottom surface of the isosceles ladder surface (210a ~ 210e) includes.

1. Isosceles ladder side

The equilateral ladder surfaces 210a to 210e, as shown in FIG. 3 , each have an equilateral trapezoidal shape, and are formed to share a hypotenuse and fold to form a sectoral shape as a whole. This is, by folding the hypotenuse of the isosceles ladder surfaces 210a to 210e and assembling them into one, the open upper surface is used as an entrance through which the cat can enter and exit, and the open lower surface is placed on the lower surface of the above-described first angular Buddha body 100. This is for assembling the first pyramidal body 100 and the second pyramidal body 200 so that they can communicate with each other by correspondingly connecting.

2. Second connection part

The second connection part 220 is formed by extending the inclined surface of the isosceles ladder surface 210a located at either end of the fan-shaped shape, as shown in FIG. 3 . The second connecting portion 220 overlaps the isosceles ladder face 210e formed on the other side when the isosceles ladder faces 210a to 210e are folded to the hypotenuse and assembles them into one, so that the second pyramidal body 200 is double-sided. is made in the shape of an open pyramidal pyramid. Here, the means used for fixing the connection part 220 is preferably the same means as the first connection part 120 described above.

3. Third connection part

The third connection portion 230 is formed by extending so as to be foldable from the base of each of the equilateral ladder surfaces 210a to 210e, as shown in FIG. 3 . At this time, the third connecting portion 230 is formed to be foldable, and overlapped with the bottom surface of the triangular surfaces 110a to 110e constituting the above-described first pyramidal body 100 to be integrally assembled. At this time, it is preferable to use the same means as the above-described first connection part 120 as the means used for fixing the third connection part 230 to the inclined surfaces of the triangular surfaces 110a to 110e.

The second pyramidal body 200 made in this way, like the above-described first pyramidal body 100, is preferably made of corrugated cardboard or plastic.

On the other hand, the cat house according to the present invention made as in [FIG. 1] to [FIG. 3], as shown in [FIG. 4] and [FIG. 5], may be used by assembling several pieces into one to form a maze. At this time, assembling is performed in the same manner as when connecting the first connecting part 120 described above after overlapping each other coincidentally on any one of the triangular faces 110a to 110e constituting the two cat houses to be connected as one. As a result, multiple cat houses can be connected and used. At this time, as the entrance portion 111 formed on the triangular surfaces 110a to 110e in contact with each other is torn off in advance, the cat can move to another adjacent cat house through this entrance portion 111, so that it can be used like a maze. .

In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cat house is equipped with a pressure sensor inside to check whether a cat has entered the cat house, and at least one of sound, music, and LED blinking to operate by receiving a signal from the sensor make up This is to detect when a cat enters the cat house and flicker the sound or music lighting to further enhance the cat's play effect.
