Description

  The present invention relates to a pet harness for assisting pet walking.

  Conventionally, when a pet such as a dog is walked, it is common to attach a lead or the like to a body such as a neck in order to limit the range of action so as to keep it connected to the owner. Apart from these leads, various walking aids for pets are proposed to prevent wobbling and falling during walking when the muscular strength and visual acuity of the pet deteriorates or injuries due to aging. Has been.

For example, in the walking aid for pets disclosed in Patent Document 1, the distance between the rear ends of the pair of left and right support rods provided with a grip at the front end is determined by the width of the waist or the trunk of the pet. And a wheel is provided at the rear end portion so as to be freely rotatable. A balance rod member is attached to the column rod erected near the other end of the support rod, and a lifting belt body for supporting the abdomen of the pet is provided at one end of the balance rod member. In addition, the other end of the balance rod member is provided with a harness attached to the chest of the pet so as to be detachable, so that the load generated when the pet is supported can be adjusted by changing the height position of the gripping portion. Has been. By attaching such a walking aid to a pet, it is intended to reduce the load on the legs and legs during walking and to support walking that has become difficult due to aging and injury.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-22

  The walking aids as described above can stably support the pet, but there is a problem that the assisting tool itself is large and difficult to operate. In addition, the harnesses and pads that are worn around the front legs and abdomen of the pet are formed in a narrow belt shape to support the torso, so these harnesses and pads bite into the torso and are locally There was also a problem that it was easy to apply a burden. That is, in the walking aid as in the conventional example, the load on the pet's legs is reduced, but the burden on the torso is increased correspondingly and the wearability is poor.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and prevents pets that have become difficult to walk due to a decrease in muscular strength or visual acuity, injury, etc. A pet harness that can support walking with good wearability is provided.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the pet harness according to the present invention includes a torso supporting cloth that covers at least the front torso of the torso of the pet, and a removable belt that fixes the torso supporting cloth to the torso, The fuselage support cloth has a handle that extends from the left and right sides of the fuselage support cloth toward the upper part of the fuselage and can support the fuselage via the fuselage support cloth. The fuselage support cloth is inserted through the left and right forefoots, respectively. A forefoot insertion port is provided to extend from the body, and the detachable belt extends from the body support cloth in the back direction and can be mounted around the body.

  With such a configuration, the force applied to the torso of the pet can be dispersed during walking of the pet using the harness, and walking can be assisted while reducing the load on the pet.

  In the pet harness having the above-described configuration, it is preferable that the trunk support cloth is formed of a mesh fabric on the lining that contacts the trunk.

  As the lining is made of mesh, the durability and air permeability can be improved, and the burden on the pet can be reduced and used for a long period of time with a good wearing feeling. The mesh fabric may be any material as long as it has air permeability, flexibility, and moderate elasticity. For example, a knitted fabric such as a double raschel fabric is preferably used.

  Furthermore, in the pet harness having the above-described configuration, the detachable belt is formed as a pair of left and right sides extending from the left and right sides of the body support cloth, and is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener on at least one of the left and right ends, and is attached around the waist. It is preferable that the left and right belts can be bound.

  As a result, the harness can be attached and detached by engaging and releasing the hook-and-loop fastener of the detachable belt, so that it can be easily and quickly attached and detached and easily adjusted to a size suitable for the pet's waistline. Can do.

  In consideration of ease of use, the handle of the pet harness is preferably provided with an adjuster so that the length can be adjusted.

  Furthermore, in order to improve the attachment property to the pet, in the pet harness having the above-described configuration, it is preferable to form the body support cloth in a three-dimensional shape along the roundness of the body so as to prevent displacement at the time of attachment.

  According to the pet harness of the present invention configured as described above, it is possible to prevent pets that have become difficult to walk due to a decrease in muscle strength or visual acuity, injury, etc. It becomes possible to support walking. For the owner, a harness that is easy to attach and detach to and from the pet and is easy to use is preferable.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the pet harness according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which a pet harness is applied to a dog will be described. In addition, for the sake of explanation, the front / rear and left / right directions of the harness are defined with reference to the state when the harness is attached to the dog, and the respective parts are described. In addition, the pet harness of the present invention is not limited to being applied to a dog harness, but can be applied to all four-legged pets.

  The harness 1 includes a body support cloth 2 that covers the body of the dog 5, a detachable belt 3 that fixes the body support cloth 2 to the body, and a handle 4 that can support the body via the body support cloth 2. It has.

  The body support cloth 2 is formed to have a size that covers at least the front legs 51, 51 and the vicinity of the chest. In the illustrated embodiment, the body support cloth 2 is formed in a size and shape that can surround the front legs 51, 51, the sides of the front legs 51, 51, the chest, and the front abdomen.

  This body support cloth 2 is formed to have a three-dimensional shape that follows the circumference of both front legs 51, 51 of the dog 5, the roundness around the sides, chest and front abdomen of both front legs 51, 51. The body support cloth 2 is provided with front foot insertion ports 21 and 21 through which the left and right front legs 51 and 51 of the dog 5 are inserted and taken out from the body support cloth 2.

  In the illustrated harness 1, the body support cloth 2 is formed by integrally overlapping a lining 23 that comes into contact with the dog's torso when worn on the dog and a surface material 22 on the surface side thereof. Among these materials, any material may be used for the outer material 22 as long as it has appropriate flexibility and durability. Examples thereof include synthetic fibers such as polyester fibers and natural fibers such as cotton. It is done. Further, the lining 23 has a mesh fabric such as a double raschel woven fabric formed by integrating the surface mesh fabric and the back cushion material so as to have air permeability, flexibility, and appropriate elasticity. It is preferable to be used.

  And the body support cloth 2 is formed by superimposing the outer fabric 22 and the lining 23 and integrating them by piping at the outer peripheral edge 20 and the front foot insertion ports 21.

  The detachable belt 3 of the harness 1 extends from the left and right sides of the body support cloth 2 in the back direction. The extended detachable belt 3 is a left and right pair of a left belt 31 and a right belt 32, and each has a substantially U shape.
