As the number of family members decreases due to the global aging of the population and the increase in single-person households and nuclear families, it is a way of raising companion animals as beings who live together for emotional will, such as alleviating loneliness in life. people are increasing

According to the 「People's Awareness Survey on Animal Protection in 2019」 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, in 2019, the total number of households raising companion animals in Korea was ) was estimated to be 5.91 million households, or 26.4% of the total. This is an increase of 800,000 households compared to the previous year, which is a steady increase every year.

However, as mentioned above, although the number of households raising companion animals is increasing, there are surprisingly many people who are somewhat ignorant about maintaining the cleanliness of companion animals to live together. For example, in order for people and pets to live together in a living space, pets must be bathed regularly in terms of hygiene. Reality.

In addition, pets should be bathed frequently to remove odors and contaminants from their fur. Since the back cannot stand still and move, it takes a lot of effort and time to dry, so it is neglected.

Accordingly, through the Republic of Korea Public Utility Model No. 20-2019-0002317, for the convenience of bathing and drying the pet, a simple cradle for bathing a pet that can seat the pet has been disclosed.

1 is a perspective view of a simple cradle for a pet bath according to the prior art, the conventional simple cradle 900 for a pet bath, a pair of upper first and second frames 901 arranged in parallel to each other; a pair of lower first and second frames 902 disposed parallel to each other; A first connection frame 903 connecting the upper first frame 901 and the lower second frame 902, and a second connection connecting the upper second frame 901 and the lower first frame 902 a foldable portion composed of a frame 903a and a hinge 905 that is foldably installed in a region where the first and second connecting frames 903 and 903a intersect each other in an X-shape; A plurality of elastic bands 910 that are connected between the upper first and second frames 901 to form a space 911 so that the pet can be seated and the pet's leg can be inserted; characterized by comprising a do.

According to the prior art, by crossing the first and second connection frames 903 and 903a in an X-shape so that the elastic bands 910 are in an unfolded state, pets are placed on the elastic bands 910 . It can be placed stably and also the movement of the pet can be minimized by allowing the legs to be inserted into the space 911 between the elastic bands 910, so that the pet's bathing operation and drying after bathing The work will be convenient.

In addition, since the volume (width) of the cradle 900 can be reduced by folding the first and second connecting frames 903 and 903a after use, it does not occupy a space when not in use, making it easy to store.

However, due to the structure in which the elastic bands 910 are spread out and the pet is simply placed thereon, it is not possible to completely block the movement of the pet's trunk, thereby bathing the pet (hereinafter referred to as "pet") and There is still a problem that a considerable amount of effort and time is consumed in the drying operation.

In addition, due to the simple folding structure in which the first and second connecting frames 903 and 903a are folded and closely attached to each other, the lateral width (horizontal width) of the first and second connecting frames 903 and 903a can be reduced, but conversely, the longitudinal width (vertical width) was limited in achieving volume reduction due to the problem of enlargement.

In the end, research on a companion animal holder that can more completely block the movement of the companion animal's trunk by changing the mounting structure corresponding to the physique of each companion animal, as well as increase storage and improve portability through epoch-making volume reduction development is imperative.
