Description

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to products for animal care, mainly for cats, and is intended for use in sharpening claws, as a cat bed with a play element.

Known cat scratching post with a toy according to the PRC patent for utility model No. 212877173 (published on 04/06/2021), which contains a corrugated paper block, a track and two side covers, two side covers are connected to two ends of the corrugated paper block, the hardness of the side covers is greater than the corrugated paper block, the track is embedded in the surface of the corrugated paper block., the paper block and the toy are located on the track.

The disadvantage of the well-known scratching posts is the complexity of the design, as well as the lack of game appeal, since the game element can only move along a certain trajectory.

The technical result, to which the invention is directed, is to create a claw-bed with a game element of a simple design, with increased play attractiveness.

The technical result is achieved in a claw-bed with a game element, which is made in the form of a structure made of stretched honeycomb paper filler, rigidly fixed on the side frames with the formation of upper and lower flat surfaces, as well as an internal cavity in which the game element is placed, made with the possibility of movement , and at least one side frame is made with at least one hole, the transverse dimension of which is smaller than the transverse dimensions of the game element, and at the same time with the ability for the cat to reach it with its paw through this hole.

Preferably, the side frames are made of either plywood, or plastic, or wood.

In one of the embodiments, the surface of the claw-bed with a play element is connected to the internal cavity by cells of stretched honeycomb paper filler, which provides visual access to the game element, which increases the attractiveness of the scratch-couch with a game element.

In one embodiment, the cells of the honeycomb paper filler are located perpendicular to the surface of the scratching post-bed with a game element, which provides visual access to the game element from all sides, which increases the attractiveness of the scratching post-bed with a play element.

In one embodiment, the hole in at least one side frame of the claw-bed with a game element is made longitudinal, which increases the playfulness of the claw-bed with a game element by increasing access to the game element.

In one embodiment, the game element is made in the form of a ball, which increases the playfulness of the claw-bed with the game element due to the mobility due to the instability of the ball position when it is touched by the cat's paw.

In one embodiment, the ball is made hollow and with a bell inside, which increases the playfulness of the claw-bed with a game element due to the ringing of the bell when the ball moves after touching the cat's paw, and thus affects the cat's hearing organs.

In one embodiment, the ball is made with contrasting color elements, which increases the playfulness of the claw-bed with a play element due to the effect on the cat's organs of vision.

In one embodiment, the ball is made hollow, with holes and a source of an attractive aroma for the cat located inside, which attracts the attention of the cat and increases the playfulness of the scratching post-toy due to the effect of the attractive smell on the cat's olfactory organs.

The implementation of the invention is illustrated by the figures.

Figure 1 shows a claw-bed with a game element and with two longitudinal holes in the side frame: a) 3/4 view; b) side view; c) top view; d) an enlarged fragment of a top view with a game element.

Figure 2 shows a claw-bed with a game element with one longitudinal hole in the side frame: a) side view; b) top view.

In figure 3, a game element made in the form of a hollow ball of elements of a contrasting color with holes and a bell inside: a) general view, b) disassembled view.

The invention is implemented, for example, in a claw-bed with a game element, which is made in the form of a structure made of stretched honeycomb paper filler 1, rigidly fixed on the side frames 2 of plywood with the formation of upper 3 and lower 4 flat surfaces, as well as an internal cavity 5, in in which the game element 6 is placed, made in the form of a ball, the side frames 2 are made with longitudinal holes 7 and 8, the transverse size 9 of which is less than the diameter of the game element 6. At the same time, the surfaces 3 and 4 of the claw-bed with the game element are connected to the internal cavity 5 by cells 10 of stretched honeycomb paper filler 1, and the cells are located perpendicular to surfaces 3 and 4. The game element 6 is made of contrasting assembly elements 11 and 12 with holes 13 and with a bell 14 inside it.

A claw-bed with a game element is made as follows. Two side frames 2 with longitudinal holes 7 and 8 are made of plywood, the sides of the rectangular block of honeycomb paper filler 1 are permanently connected to each other, forming a cylinder, and then stretching one of the bases of the cylinder from honeycomb paper filler, it is permanently fixed on the perimeter of one of the frames 2 , after which a game element 6 is placed in the cavity 5 formed in this case and, by stretching the second base of the cylinder made of honeycomb paper filler 1, it is permanently fixed on the perimeter of the second of the frames 2, after which the product is ready for use.

A claw-bed with a game element is used as follows. A claw-bed with a play element is installed on one of the surfaces 3 or 4, for example, on surface 3, while surface 4 is used by the cat as a bed. Moreover, due to the hollow cells 10 of the honeycomb paper filler 1, the cat is provided with visual access to the game element 6, made of contrasting assembly elements 11 and 12. If the game element has attracted the attention of the cat, it begins to explore its couch, while sharpening its claws on the honeycomb paper filler 1 , and having found holes 7 and 8 in the side frames 2, he tries to get the game element 6 through them with his paw, which, when touched with his paw, begins to move, warming up the interest of the cat, and the bell 14 begins to ring, constantly changing its color, additionally attracting her attention.

Thus, the technical result is achieved in the form of creating a claw-bed with a game element of a simple design, with increased play attractiveness.
