Description

{SPORTS EQUIPMENT FOR PET}

The present invention relates to a fitness appliance for a pet.

In general, pets are also referred to as "companion animals." These companion animals play a role in regaining the nature of human beings, which gradually become self-centered, as society becomes highly developed and the material becomes enriched. It has a very close relationship.

In recent years, as the emotional stability of humans and another new family, the demand for pets has increased greatly, and the importance of such pets' health care is also increasing.

However, the pets living mainly in the indoors have a high incidence of obesity and stress due to the lack of exercise, and the psychological burden of regular exercise of the pets using the housing or the promenade is generated, there was.

In order to solve such a problem, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0173915 filed on Oct. 10, 1997, published on March 3, 2003, hereinafter referred to as "prior art" A petrol exercise machine with a tread structure has been proposed.

However, in such conventional techniques, there is a problem that, as the rotational axis of the rotating wheel is positioned at the center, the pet inside the wheel falls or falls due to the centrifugal force when the wheels stop rotating.

In addition, since such a pet exercise machine is installed in a room where a human being lives, there is a problem that vibration and noise are generated when a pet uses a fitness machine.

In addition, when a pet exercise machine is installed in a small indoor space, it may be inconvenient for a person to live in space utilization, and there is a problem in an indoor landscape.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to prevent injury when a pet is exercising and to reduce vibrations and noise so as not to damage other neighbors in a living room And to provide a fitness instrument for a pet which is easy to use in space.

In order to achieve the above object, a pet exercise device of the present invention comprises: a cylindrical rotating body having both ends opened; A guide unit positioned to contact with an inner circumferential surface of the rotary body and guiding a rotation path of the rotary body; And a support unit for fixing the position of the guide unit at a predetermined height.

Here, the support unit fixes the guide unit on the upper end of the inner circumference of the rotating body.

The rotating body may include a first rotating frame and a second rotating frame provided in a ring shape and having an inner circumferential surface in contact with the guide unit; And a plurality of plate members coupled along the circumference between the first rotating frame and the second rotating frame and having a constant width.

The guide unit may include: a first guide wheel having a guide groove on which the first rotating frame is seated; A second guide wheel spaced a predetermined distance from the first guide wheel and having a guide groove on which the first rotating frame is seated; A third guide wheel having a guide groove on which the second rotating frame is seated; A fourth guide wheel having a guide groove spaced apart from the third guide wheel by a predetermined distance to receive the second rotating frame; And a guide housing which receives both the first guide wheel, the second guide wheel, the third guide wheel and the fourth guide wheel in a rotatable form and is fixed at a predetermined height through the support unit, The guide wheel, the third guide wheel, the second guide wheel and the fourth guide wheel are positioned symmetrically with respect to the width of the rotary body.

The guide unit may include: a first rotation shaft connecting the center rotation axes of the first guide wheel and the third guide wheel; And a second rotary shaft connecting the center rotary shaft of the second guide wheel and the fourth guide wheel, wherein the first guide wheel and the third guide wheel are interlockingly rotated by the first rotary shaft, The guide wheel and the fourth guide wheel are rotated in an interlocked manner by the second rotation shaft.

In addition, the supporting unit may include: a coaptive portion contacting the ground; A bending portion extending upright from the contact portion; And an engaging portion bent upward at a predetermined angle from the bending portion and extending upward and having one end engaged with the guide unit.

Further, the supporting unit may include: a fixing part fixed to a wall surface; And a support portion coupled to the fixed portion and the guide unit, the support portion supporting the bottom surface of the guide unit.

The present invention has the following effects.

First, since the rotating body is cylindrical in which both ends are opened, and the supporting unit is made of an elastic material, the ringing and noise generated when the rotating body rotates can be reduced.

Second, since the rotating shaft of the rotating body is located at the upper end of the inner circumferential surface of the rotating body through the guide unit, rotation of the rotating body can be easily stopped, thereby preventing injury to the pet, which may be caused by centrifugal force.

Third, the space utilization can be improved by providing the supporting unit in various forms and installing the pet exercise equipment in the narrow indoor space.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the technical parts already known will be omitted or compressed for the sake of brevity.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 5, a pet exercise device SE according to the present invention includes a rotating body 100; Guide unit (200); And a support unit (300).

The rotating body is constituted by a first rotating frame 110, a second rotating frame 115 and a plate-like member 120 as shown in Figs.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the rotating body 100 includes a first rotating frame 110 having a cylindrical shape with both open ends and a space for accommodating pets therein, And a plurality of plate members 120 are coupled along the circumference between the first rotating frame 115 and the second rotating frame 115.

Specifically, the plurality of plate members are coupled along the circumference in a space between the first rotating frame 110 and the second rotating frame 115, which are made of a metal material having a thickness of 2 mm on the rim of the plate 120, ) Can withstand the weight of a pet and have high bonding strength and durability to prevent deformation of the structure.

1 and 4, the first rotating frame 110, the second rotating frame 115, and the plate-shaped member 120 have holes formed at predetermined intervals in positions corresponding to each other, Combination is possible.

In addition, since the rotary body 100 is provided in a cylindrical shape with its both ends opened, it is possible to reduce noise and noise when the rotary body rotates.

The guide unit 200 is positioned so as to be in contact with the first rotating frame 110 and the second rotating frame 115 so as to guide the path when the rotating body 100 rotates.

3 and 4, the first guide wheel 210 and the second guide wheel 215 are in contact with the first rotating frame 110, and the third guide wheels 220 And the fourth guide wheel 225 are in contact with the second rotation frame 215.

The first guide wheel 210 and the second guide wheel 215, the third guide wheel 220 and the fourth guide wheel 225 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. The first guide wheel 210, the second guide wheel 210, The guide wheel 215, the third guide wheel 220 and the fourth guide wheel 225 are mounted on the upper side of the enlarged view of FIG. 4 for seating the first rotating frame 110 and the second rotating frame 115 The guide groove 20 is formed as shown in FIG.

3, the guide unit 200 includes a first rotation shaft 230 and a second guide wheel 215 that connect the center rotation axes of the first guide wheel 210 and the third guide wheel 220, And a second rotation shaft 235 connecting the central rotation shafts of the fourth guide wheels 225. The first guide wheels 210 and the second guide wheels 220 are symmetrical with respect to the width of the rotary body 100, And the second guide wheel 215 and the fourth guide wheel 225 can be interlockingly rotated.

The first guide wheel 210, the second guide wheel 215, the third guide wheel 220 and the fourth guide wheel 225 are rotated by the first rotating frame 110 and the second rotating frame 115 ), And is made of urethane material to reduce noise.
