Description

Lower coat removal tool

The present invention relates to a lower coat removing tool for removing the lower coat (lower coat) of dog breeds and cat breeds having a double coat structure.

At present, dogs and cats account for most of the pets that people keep, and one of the cares given by the breeders is mostly hair treatment (grooming). Among them, in dog breeds and cat breeds that have a double-layered coat structure composed of an upper coat (upper coat) and a lower coat (lower coat), the lower coat is mainly grown in the cold season for carrying out Body temperature insulation, which falls off during the warm season because it is no longer needed.

Therefore, if the undercoat is left unattended, it will scatter and attach to the surroundings of pet breeding places or the clothes of people in contact with it. Many breeders will treat this undercoat in order to have a more comfortable coexistence life.

Up to now, a treatment instrument having a grip portion and a head and a brush on the head has been generally used. The breeder removes the body by combing the coat of the pet with the treatment tool, and engaging the lower layer of the coat with the brush itself or between the brushes (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

[Invention to solve the problem]

However, in the conventional treatment tool as described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, in removing the lower layer of coat, the tip of the brush may contact the pet's skin, and there is a concern that the pet's skin may be injured. In addition, some pets have unpleasant sensations due to the sharp tip of the brush coming into contact with the skin.

Therefore, if we focus on the structure of the brush of the treatment instrument, there is no structure for protecting the tip of the brush, and obviously the effect on the skin of the pet is not taken into consideration, so there is still room for improvement.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide a lower layer hair removal tool which can reliably remove the lower layer hair without harming the skin of a pet. [Solution to the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes: a main body portion; a comb disposed so as to extend substantially perpendicularly to a long side direction of the main body portion; and a blade disposed side by side with the comb at a front end side of the main body portion And has a plurality of grooves; the front end portion of the comb is erected on the body so as to be 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm higher than the front end portion of the blade.

In the undercoat removing device of the present invention having such a structure, the blade and the comb are erected side by side on the body portion, and the front end portion of the comb is located higher than the front end of the blade. Thereby, the treatment can be performed with the comb in contact with the pet's skin, so the blade will not directly contact the pet's skin. In addition, since the blade and the comb are sequentially arranged from the front end to the side of the grip, the groove of the blade can be used to capture the coat under the groove of the comb. The comb does not reduce the ability to remove the coat of the lower layer of the blade, which is safe. And the removal of the lower coat was performed reliably.

In addition, for the lower layer hair removal tool of the present invention, the separation distance between the blade and the comb is preferably 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm.

In the lower coat removing device of the present invention having such a structure, a moderate space is created between the blade and the comb, so that the lower coat passing through the second groove of the comb can easily reach the first groove of the blade.

In addition, with respect to the lower layer hair removal tool of the present invention, it is preferable that the comb and / or the blade can be stored in the main body portion, and can be changed to an upright installation state or a storage state.

With the lower-layer coat removing device of the present invention having such a configuration, the comb and / or the blade can be changed to a storage state and an upright setting state according to circumstances. For example, under normal circumstances, setting the comb in an upright position to remove the undercoat of the pet, while setting the comb to the storage state can improve the maintainability of the entire head and easily remove the undercoat attached to the blade hair. [Inventive effect]

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lower-layer hair-removing tool which can reliably remove the lower-layer hair without damaging the pet's skin.
