Description

Throwers and projectiles for pets {THROWER FOR COMPANION ANIMAL AND PROJECTILE}

The present invention relates to a thrower for companion animals. More particularly, it relates to a thrower for companion animals that can easily throw food for companion animals or toys of companion animals in a specific direction and recover projectiles.

Recently, as the companion animal market is rapidly growing, the number of households raising companion animals is increasing. These companion animals also feel lonely and need exercise, so their guardians should play with them regularly.

However, many modern guardians are away from home for a long time because of their jobs, so it is difficult to play with their pets, and the pets become obese due to lack of exercise. Therefore, they purchase toys that can be played by themselves even if the parents do not directly play with them. (Korea Patent No. 0045517)

However, toys that can be played alone have a simple pattern, and pets often lose interest in them.

Therefore, as in Korean Patent Registration No. 0806278, it is preferable for the guardian to play with the companion animal by waving a stick to which the mobile is connected, as it can continuously attract the interest of the companion animal. However, in this case, there is a disadvantage in that the guardian's physical strength is consumed because the guardian must hold and shake it himself. Also, this approach can also lose interest.

Therefore, it is possible to arouse continuous interest in companion animals by throwing food from the companion animal, which can lead to interest with high probability, especially for companion animals who like to eat, and play equipment that plays by projecting toys or food is being proposed (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0143147)

However, in the case of throwing food, there is a problem in that the amount of food provided increases as the play progresses.

Therefore, there is a need for a method for using food to play with a companion animal without increasing the amount of food provided to the companion animal, and a method for easily retrieving toys and playing with the companion animal.

These issues are especially important for cats.

As a companion animal, many owners do not take a walk because cats often get stressed out when they go for a walk. However, if a domestic cat who spends a long time at home does not play with him, his activity may decrease and he may become obese.

In addition, when toys are thrown, cats do not return with toys, unlike dogs, so the problem of having to approach and take away the thrown toys is more severe.

Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-0806278 (2008.02.15.) Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 2014-0143147 (2014.12.15.)

The present invention provides a thrower for companion animals that can throw food or toys of companion animals and easily recover the food or toys of the thrown companion animals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those of ordinary skill in the art can easily implement them. However, the present invention may be embodied in several different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. And in order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted, and similar reference numerals are attached to similar parts throughout the specification.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a side perspective view of a thrower for companion animals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the thrower for companion animals according to an embodiment of the present invention combines a projectile 105, and a reel 115 provided on one side of a rod-shaped frame 120 with a string 110 as a medium. ) is provided with a fixing part 100 connected to the fixing part 100, and a pedestal 160 supporting the fixing part 100 is provided at one end, and the other end is rotated in one side and the other direction of the frame 120 to rotate the frame 120. A launch pad 130 including a fixed end 170 fixed to the other side of the frame 120, an elastic member (not shown) for providing tension to the launch pad 130 to the other side of the frame 120, and the launch pad 130 to the frame It provides a thrower for companion animals including a clasp 150 that is fixed in one direction of the 120 and is unlocked according to the operation.

A configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention is a structure for throwing a projectile 105 by connecting the projectile 105 to the fixing unit 100 to which the recovery line 110 is connected as a structure of a catapult. Hereinafter, the structure will be described.

The projectile 105 is coupled to the fixing unit 100 and is connected to one side of the frame 120 through the string 110 as a medium. The string 110 may be connected in the form of being wound around a reel 115 connected to one side of the frame 120 . The fixing unit 100 may have a ring or annular shape, and combines the companion animal food or companion animal toy in a shape that can be coupled to the fixing unit 100 as the projectile 105 . The fixing unit 100 is connected to the reel 115 and the string 110 provided in the frame 120 so that the user rotates the reel 115 to wind the string 110 even when the fixing unit 100 is thrown away. In this way, the fixing unit 100 and the projectile 105 may be recovered.

The fixing unit 100 and the projectile 105 are supported by a pedestal 160, and when the launch pad 130 connected to one end of the pedestal 160 rotates, the projectile 105 supported by the pedestal 160 in an arc. And the fixing part 100 may be blown in the other direction of the frame 120 .

The other end of the launch pad 130 is a fixed end 170 connected to the other side of the frame 120 . The fixed end 170 is rotatable in the direction of one side of the frame 120 and the other side of the frame 120 , and friction or resistance caused by the rotation of the launch pad 130 at the coupling point between the launch pad 130 and the frame 120 . reduce One end of the launch pad 130 is the aforementioned pedestal 160 and moves in an arc with respect to rotation about the fixed end 170 . The fixing unit 100 is thrown while supported by the pedestal 160 against gravity, and the pedestal 160 and the launch pad 130 are upwards and upwards with respect to gravity so that the projectile 105 can make a parabolic motion. It is preferable to rotate. However, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing unit 100 is connected to the pedestal 160 by a string 110 and is in close contact, and the force pulled in the opposite direction by the reel 115 during throwing is applied in the throwing process. If the throwing speed is fast enough because it is continuously received, there is little fear that the fixing part 100 is spaced apart from the pedestal 160 and falls. Therefore, a throwing structure in the form of laying down on the side to shoot or rotating to the side is also possible.

Since the launch pad 130 has to apply a force to rotate to the other side of the frame 120 , a tension must act toward the other side of the frame 120 . Any means for applying tension to the launch pad 130 may be used. In other words, a method of providing a tensioned elastic member (not shown) in a section connecting the other side of the launch pad 130 and the frame 120 so that the tension directly acts, and connecting one side of the launch pad 130 and the frame 120 A method of providing a compressed elastic member (not shown) to indirectly apply tension, a torsion spring is provided at the fixed end 170 to apply a rotational force to the launch pad 130 in the other direction of the frame 120 Any one or more of those provided may be used.

If tension is applied to the launch pad 130 , the launch pad 130 will move as soon as the tension is applied. Therefore, in order to specify the launch timing, a latch 150 supporting the launch pad 130 while stopping the movement is required. The clasp 150 serves to fix the launch pad 130 to be kept tilted to one side of the frame 120 , and the fixation should be able to be easily released by a user's manipulation. 1 shows an embodiment in which the launch pad 130 is fixed in a sawtooth structure, and the lock is released by rotation of the clasp 150 . In FIG. 1 , a structure having a protrusion in a direction close to one side of the frame 120 in the launch pad 130 and provided with teeth complementary to the clasp 150 is exemplified, but the launch pad 130 is attached to the clasp 150 ), the method of fixing it does not need to be limited thereto. The protrusion may be provided in the form of a handle on the side of the launch pad 130 (direction perpendicular to the rotation direction of the launch pad). Any structure may be used as long as it can be fixed/released by rotation or movement of the fixed end 170 .

The thrower for companion animals may further include a clasp pressing member 153 and a detent 156 for improving the reliability of the operation of the clasp 150, and a handle 190 and a handle 190 to improve the convenience of operation and driving A trigger 159 may be further included.

As described above, the latch 150 is coupled to the launch pad 130 with teeth to stop the movement, and rotates in one direction of the frame 120 to release the teeth by releasing the teeth. However, in this case, a malfunction may occur by rotating in one direction of the frame 120 even if no rotational force is applied. Therefore, it is preferable to further include a latch pressing member 153 that is an elastic body that continuously applies pressure in the opposite direction of rotation when it is fixed to prevent incorrect rotation of the latch 150 . In addition, the latch pressing member 153 provides power to return the trigger 159 after firing. The latch pressing member 153 does not have a large resistance to the operation of the trigger 159, which will be described later, but it is preferable to provide enough pressure to prevent a malfunction.

The pawl 156 prevents the latch 150 from being over-rotated due to the latch pressing member 153 when the launch pad 130 is fired. When the launch pad 130 is tilted to one side of the frame 120 , the latch 150 must be rotated and fixed in one direction of the frame 120 , and the latch 150 is over-rotated in the other direction of the frame 120 . In one case, the launch pad 130 may rather press the latch 150 in the other direction of the frame 120 in the direction of further rotation. Therefore, when the launch pad 130 is tilted to one side of the frame 120, the latch 150 is used as a detent 156 to overcome the pressure of the clasp pressing member 153 and to be fixed with the clasp 150 again. rotation can be prevented. In other words, the launch pad 130 can be tilted to one side of the frame 120 by pulling the fixing unit 100 with the reel 115 during recovery. can be

The structure of the latch pressing member 153 and the detent 156 above may be the same as the trigger structure for firing provided in a general rifle or the like.

The trigger 159 is preferably located at a position that can be gripped with one hand so that the user's finger can be draped together with the handle 190 . The trigger 159 can be triggered by rotating the latch 150 to the other side by rotating in a way that the user pulls one side of it with a finger. The handle 190 is preferably provided at the lower end of the frame 120 to support the weight of the components of the thrower for companion animals including the frame 120 .

The pedestal 160 may further include a hole in the center. If the pedestal 160 is a cup-shaped structure that can stably support the fixing unit 100 and the projecting body 105 therein, it may include a hole at the bottom. The hole becomes a passage through which the string 110 connected to the fixing unit 100 passes. When thrown, the rotational force of the launch pad 130 is applied to the fixing unit 100 through the pedestal 160 . At this time, since the string 110 is connected to the fixing unit 100 , if the string 110 is not in a straight line with the direction of the force, the fixing unit 100 protrudes to the side along the string 110 . Therefore, the pulling direction of the line 110 and the line 110 should be vertically downward to the supporting surface of the pedestal 160 with respect to the fixing unit 100 . When the fixing part 100 and the pedestal 160 are in contact with each other and a hole is made to allow the string 110 to pass through, the direction in which the string 110 pulls the fixing part 100 is opposite to the supporting direction of the pedestal 160 . Because of this, some of each other's strength is weakened, and the resultant force can fly in the throwing direction. At this time, if the hole is too large, the size of the hole is preferably smaller than that of the fixing part 100 or the projection body 105 because the fixing part 100 and the projecting body 105 are not supported by the pedestal 160, and the hole is If it is larger than this, a locking structure must be provided in the fixing part 100 and the like. This will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 .

A stop 175 provided to prevent the rotation of the launch pad 130 in the middle of the rotation within the rotation section of the launch pad 130 may be further included. The stopper 175 serves to limit the rotation of the launcher 130 .

The launch pad 130 accelerates and decelerates according to the degree of rotation during rotation.

When the launch pad 130 rotates, the elastic force decreases linearly in proportion to the rotation distance according to Hook's law. Since the launch pad 130 rotates the reel during rotation and has to overcome the frictional force of the fixed end 170, it accelerates in the section where the sum of these resistance and elastic forces is greater than 0, and performs decelerated rotation in the section less than 0. Therefore, by fixing the stopper 175 to an appropriate position within the rotation section of the launcher 130, the position at which the launcher 130 throws the projectile 105 can be specified, and the speed and direction according to the rotational position Since this is determined, the firing speed and direction of the projectile 105 can be adjusted by a method of specifying the position of the stopper 175 .

The launch pad 175 projects the projectile 105 forward, which is a tangent line in the rotation direction, when the launch pad 175 is in a vertically upward (vertically upwardly of the frame) position of the fixed end 170 . Therefore, the stopper 175 is preferably a structure that can be fixed by tilting to one side or the other side of the frame 120 based on a point perpendicular to the frame 120 during the rotation section of the launch pad 130 .

In addition, since the stopper 175 and the launch pad 130 have a structure in which a collision is scheduled, there is a risk of noise/damage during a collision. Accordingly, an elastic body may be provided as the cushioning material 135 at the collision point between the stopper 175 and the launch pad 130 . When rotating, the end of the rotation is at a higher speed than the axis of rotation, so the impact is less at the center of rotation than at the end when preventing collision. Therefore, it is preferable that the collision point of the launch pad is closer to the pedestal 160 than the middle between the fixed end 170 and the pedestal 160 .

The cushioning material 135 may be any material as long as it can absorb shock. For example, not only soft synthetic resins with high restoring force such as rubber and urethane, but also materials capable of absorbing shocks with low elasticity such as cellulose, paper, and thin wood plates are possible.

The thrower for companion animals may further include an imaging device cradle 180 on the other side of the frame 120 to face the imaging device in the throwing direction. Since the stop bar 175 is provided in the rotational space of the launch pad 130 on the other side of the frame 120 , the stop bar 175 is provided in front of the other side of the frame 120 rather than the fixed end 170 .

The imaging device holder 180 is preferably provided in a non-rotating space under the stopper 175 . The imaging device holder 180 is provided outside the field of view of a user who operates the thrower for companion animals when throwing. In addition, it is desirable to avoid that the angle adjusted to control the speed and the throwing direction affects the imaging direction. Therefore, if the stopper 175 is rotatable so that the direction of the frame 120 and the imaging direction can be fixed, it is preferable to separate it from the stopper 175 and provide it at the lower end of the 'm dancestand 175. If the stopper 175 is a fixed type, it may be provided on the stopper 175 .

The movement and operation principle of each component at the moment of firing in the configuration of FIG. 1 will be described.

When the trigger 159 is pulled, the pressure of the latch pressing member 153 can be overcome and the trigger 159 can be rotated. Rotation of the trigger 159 rotates the latch 150 again to release the fixing structure of the launch pad 130 . The launch pad 130 rotates to the other side of the frame 120 by the pressure of an elastic member (not shown) until it stops in collision with the stop bar 175 . With the rotation of the launch pad 130 , the pedestal 160 provided on one side of the launch pad 130 also rotates in an arc, and the fixing unit 100 and the projectile 105 supported by the pedestal 160 also rotate. Tensile force is applied to the string 110 connected to the fixing unit 100 according to the rotational movement of the fixing unit 100 , and the reel rotates with this force and the wound string 110 is unwound.

When the launch pad 130 collides with the stopper 175 and stops, the pedestal 160 also stops, but since the fixing unit 100 and the projectile 105 are not coupled to the launch pad 130, they are thrown in the tangential direction of the rotational direction. do. The fixing unit 100 and the projectile 105 move parabolicly while being connected to the string 110 , and may be thrown until the reel 115 is completely released.

When the throwing is finished, the user may wind up the reel 115 to recover the fixing unit 100 to the pedestal 160 . When the reel 115 is wound further, the size of the fixing part 100 or the projecting body 105 is larger than the hole, and thus it is caught on the pedestal 160 . Therefore, the force to wind the reel is transmitted to the pedestal 160 through the string 110 , and the launch pad 130 is tilted to one side of the frame 120 . At this time, the protrusion of the launch pad 130 may be fixed while being tilted back by pushing the latch 150 . In other words, it can be reloaded by simply winding the reel 115 .

2 (A) and (B) are exemplary views showing the movement of the cat when throwing and collecting the thrower for companion animals.

The throwing machine for companion animals can control the throwing direction by tilting the throwing direction. At this time, it is preferable that the thrown food is thrown in an upward direction in a parabolic motion because it is preferable to prevent the food being thrown from being directly hit by the pet, and it is preferable that the pet is thrown slowly enough to respond to the movement.

On the other hand, the image pickup device should face the subject, the pet. Therefore, regardless of the throwing direction, the thrower for companion animals must face the companion animal.

Therefore, by providing the imaging device holder 180 on the front side of the projection direction of the stopper 175 lower frame 120 independent of the rotation of the stopper 175, while controlling the throwing direction and speed of the fixing unit 100, etc. The direction of the imaging device can be fixed forward. Through this, you can freely control the throwing direction and speed while shooting the reaction of your pet when throwing.

After the throwing is finished, food and the like can be recovered by winding the reel 115 , and at this time, the reaction of the pet can be photographed.

3 is an exemplary view showing a shape of an embodiment of a fixing part according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Since the fixing unit 100 is connected to the string 110 , it includes the string fixing unit 330 . The fixing unit 100 may be provided in the shape of a tongs such as a fixing tongs 310 or a ring shape such as a fixing ring 320, depending on the structure of the pet food or a toy, and the fixing tongs 310 and the fixing ring ( 320) may be provided. The fixing tongs 310 may have the same structure as the general fastening tongs such as a necklace. That is, an elastic body may be provided to keep the tongs closed, or a coupling structure may be provided at the end of the tongs to keep the tongs closed.

Considering the robustness and ease of manufacture, a ring shape such as the fixing ring 320 is preferable, but if a pet's nails are caught in the fixing ring 320, it may be damaged so that the nails can easily come out. The fixing part 100 may be provided in the form of tongs such as the fixing tongs 310 .

The fixing unit 100 may not be collected until the pet food is thrown together and the food is consumed. In this case, when the pet bites or sucks food or the like coupled to the fixing unit 100 , the fixing unit 100 may also be bitten or sucked. Therefore, the fixing unit 100 should be durable, such as the saliva of the pet, it should be harmless to the health of the pet. In addition, deformation and fatigue failure should not occur even after long-term use. The fixing part 100 may be made of stainless steel, which is a material having these characteristics. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a material such as wood or plastic having some of the corresponding characteristics may be selected.

The companion animal food or toy according to an embodiment of the present invention may be for cats. In the case of a cat, since it responds particularly sensitively to a bird-like shape, the fixing unit 100 may further include a feather or a tail in the line fixing unit opposite to the throwing direction. A feather or tail provided on the opposite side of the throwing direction may be effective in slowing down the speed of the fixing unit 100 . If the fixing unit 100 flies at a slow speed, even a cat with a slow reaction can react to the projectile 105 , so that the play effect can be increased.

4 is an exemplary view showing the shape of an embodiment of companion animal food or companion animal toy according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As the projectile 105 , the companion animal food or companion animal toy should have a structure that can be combined with the fixing unit 100 . Therefore, it may be simply configured in a ring shape.

On the other hand, it must be able to move in the throwing direction without distortion of the direction when throwing. Therefore, a structure that is rotationally symmetric about the throwing direction is preferable. Since the projection body 105 must be connected to the fixing part 100, a ring shape is provided on one side. The fixing part 100 is supported by the pedestal 160, and since the projection 105 is thrown in the supporting direction of the pedestal 160, the line connecting the projection 105 in the portion where the ring is coupled is the throwing direction . Therefore, a structure having a ring shape on one side and a structure having a rotationally symmetrical structure with respect to a line connecting one side and the center is the form of the projection body 105 suitable for the throwing machine. Accordingly, the companion animal food or companion animal toy may have a connection structure such as a ring structure at the end of the rotational axis of the rotationally symmetric structure.

In addition, the companion animal food or toy according to an embodiment of the present invention may be for a cat. In the case of a cat, since it responds particularly sensitively to a bird-like shape, a feather or a tail may be further included in the area coupled to the fixing part 100 opposite to the throwing direction. A feather or tail provided on the opposite side of the throwing direction may be effective in slowing down the speed of the projectile 105 . If the projectile 105 flies at a slow speed, even a cat with a slow reaction can react to the projectile 105 , so that the play effect can be increased.

If the fixing part 100 is the fixing ring 320, the ring-shaped projectile 105 cannot be coupled. Therefore, it is possible to insert the ring into the gap by having a hole in the side of the ring shape. In this case, when throwing, the fixing ring 320 is fixed to the center of the ring, which is the last end of the direction in which the projectile 105 flies, so that it does not fall out of the ring.

The portion coupled to the fixing unit 100 does not necessarily have to be in the form of a protruding ring. As long as it can be complementarily coupled with the fixing part 100, any shape may be used. For example, a form in which a ring region of the fixing unit 100 can be penetrated and fastened is also possible by having a ring region penetrated on one side of the projection body 105 . The projectile 105 may be pet food or a pet toy.

5 is a side view and a front view of the launch pad showing the configuration of the launch pad according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The launch pad 130 includes a launch rod 520 having a pedestal 160 at one end and a fixed end 170 at the other end. The balsa rod 520 may further include a cushioning material 135 on the collision surface with the stopper 175 .

The fixed end 170 serves to be coupled to the frame 120 while easily rotating in the other direction of the frame 120 when the elastic force is applied to the fixed end 170 . As a structure that easily rotates in a specific direction and in a reverse direction, the fixed end 170 may have a rotating shaft structure. In addition, a torsion spring is connected to the balsa rod 520 and the frame 120 or a compression spring is provided in the balsa rod 520 and the frame 120 so that the balsa rod 520 can rotate. Tension can be applied.

The pedestal 160 may have a hole 510 in the center, and a hole 510 is provided so as to stably support the fixing part 100 and the projecting body 105 pulled in the direction of the frame 120 . The region may have a cup structure in which the region is retracted in the direction of the frame 120 . The material of the pedestal 160 may be any material as long as it can withstand the pressure, but since it is a part in direct contact with food eaten by pets, the fixing unit 100 that needs washing, etc., plastic, Materials, such as ceramic, wood, copper, and stainless steel, are preferable.

Since the balsa rod 520 is a configuration in which tension and impact are directly applied, it must have high strength compared to other components. Therefore, a material such as metal, wood, or plastic is preferable.

An elastic body may be provided as a cushioning material 135 at the collision point between the stopper 175 and the balsa rod 520 . The cushioning material 135 may be any material as long as it can absorb shock. For example, not only soft synthetic resins such as rubber and urethane, but also materials such as cellulose, paper, and thin wood plates are possible.

Since it is important for the fixed end 170 to reduce friction, a material such as a metal to which a lubricant can be easily applied is preferable.

6 is a side view showing a form in which the fixing unit and the thrown object are supported on the launch pad according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The pedestal 160 of the launch pad 130 supports the fixing unit 100 and the thrown object. In addition, the launch pad 130 has a hole 510 in the center to have a through structure through which the string 110 can move. The size of the hole 510 is preferably as large as possible in order to reduce friction with the string 110 , but is limited to a size capable of supporting the fixing unit 100 and the projectile 105 . In other words, it is preferable to be smaller than the size of the fixing part 100 or the projection body 105 . However, as long as it can support the fixing unit 100 and the projection body 105 , it may be larger than the size of the fixing unit 100 or the projection body 105 .

Holes 510 need not necessarily be circular. In other words, if the hole 510 is provided in the form of a slit and the fixing part 100 is made in a cross shape, even if the gap is longer than the fixing part 100 , the fixing part 100 cannot pass through, so the hole 510 ) can support the fixing part 100 and the projecting body 105 even if it is larger than the fixing part 100 and the projecting body 105 .

When the hole 510 is circular, the diameter of the hole 510 must be smaller than the longest cross-section of the projection body 105 or the fixing part 100 to support the projection body 105 or the fixing part 100 . At this time, even if the fixing part 100 is smaller than the hole 510 , if the projection body 105 is large, the projection body 105 and the fixing part 100 can be supported by the pedestal 160 . However, if the fixing unit 100 is smaller than the hole 510 , the fixing unit 100 passes through the hole 510 and comes out when the projectile 105 is retrieved when the pet ate it and disappeared. Therefore, a structure in which the hole 510 is smaller than the fixing part 100 or the fixing part 100 is caught in the hole 510 is preferable.
