Description

  The present invention relates to an animal nail and fastener that can be used as a playground equipment as well as an animal.

  Cats have a habit of nails. Cats kept in ordinary households use their pillars and walls to break their claws, so the pillars and walls are damaged. In order to solve this problem, various cat claws and fasteners (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2) have been proposed. The nail and fasteners of Patent Document 1 are those that can tear the nails in a state where the cat is standing up, and the nail and fasteners of Patent Document 2 are columnar ones that are hard enough for the nails to bite into the surface portion. . In addition, since cats prefer to play at high altitudes, there have been proposed ones in which a hemp string is wrapped around a pillar of playground equipment and used as a claw and fastener (Patent Document 3).

  The claws and fasteners described in Patent Document 1 are not suitable for use in places where there are no walls because the wall member is thin, so that the cats can easily fall down if they do not support the claws. In the claw and fastener described in Patent Document 2, a groove is formed on the claw surface so that the cat's claw can be easily caught. However, when the groove is lost, the claw and fastener itself must be replaced. The playground equipment disclosed in Patent Document 3 requires a certain amount of space for installation, and may not be used in a small home.

  The animal nail clipper of the present invention is configured such that a carpet that can be used as a nail clipper is detachably circulated around the outer periphery of a columnar body so that it can be used repeatedly.

The animal nail clipper of the present invention has the following effects.
(1) Since it can be placed horizontally, it can be used even in places where there is no support.
(2) Since the nails are not directly peeled off by pillars or walls, it is difficult for animals to hurt their nails, and shavings are unlikely to occur when using pillars and walls. Since it is difficult for shavings to be generated, the labor of cleaning can be saved.
(3) Since a removable carpet is provided on the outer periphery of the main body, it can be used as a new nail and fastener only by replacing the carpet.
(4) It is economical because it can be used as a new nail and fastener only by replacing the carpet, and it is not necessary to replace it with a new nail and fastener.
(5) When the main body has a polygonal column shape, a new surface can be used as a new nail clipper simply by changing its orientation.
(6) Although it is not as tall as playground equipment, it can also be played up, so a cat having the habit of playing up high places can be used as playground equipment.
(7) Since it is compact and does not take up space compared to conventional playground equipment, it can be used even in homes where space is limited.
(8) Because the carpet is used, the design is higher than that of the dedicated nails and fasteners, and it looks good as an interior.

(Embodiment)
An example of the animal nail clipper 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As an example, the animal claw and fastener 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a horizontally long prismatic main body 2, stoppers 3 provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body 2, and a carpet 4 circulated around the outer periphery of the main body 2. Is. In the example shown in FIG. 1, it mounts on the two bases 5 arrange | positioned at intervals.

  As an example, the main body 2 shown in FIG. 1 is formed by shaping a wood into a horizontally long rectangular column shape of about 10 cm long × 30 cm wide × 10 cm high. The main body 2 may have a prismatic shape other than a quadrangular prism, such as a triangular prism shape or a pentagonal prism shape, or a cylindrical shape. It can also be made of other than wood.

  On the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body 2, elongated cavities 6 as shown in FIG. 2 are provided so that a mouse toy A as shown in FIG. The cavity 6 has such a size and depth that a pet such as a cat can put a forefoot, and the forefoot can be put into the cavity 6 to play. In the example of FIG. 2, the case where one cavity 6 is provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body 2 is taken as an example, but two or more cavities 6 may be provided at both ends or one end in the longitudinal direction. By providing the cavity 6, the animal's curiosity is stimulated and the animal's stress is eliminated. In the example of FIG. 2, the case where the cavities 6 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body 2 is taken as an example, but the cavities 6 can also be provided only at one end side in the longitudinal direction. If unnecessary, the cavity 6 may not be provided.

  The stoppers 3 provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body 2 are formed by forming wood into a disk shape having a diameter of about 15 cm. The stopper 3 can be molded integrally with the main body 2, but a stopper molded separately from the main body 2 can also be fixed to the main body. As shown in FIG. 1, a circular opening hole 7 is formed at the center of the stopper 3, and the opening hole 7 communicates with the cavity 6. The opening hole 7 may be provided as necessary, and may not be provided when unnecessary, such as when the main body 2 has no cavity 6. The stopper 3 is effective when it is placed on the pedestal 5, but it may not be provided if unnecessary.

  The carpet 4 circulated around the outer periphery of the main body 2 is for a pet such as a cat to sharpen its claws. In this embodiment, the carpet 4 is a tufted carpet that is difficult to remove hair. The carpet 4 may be made of a material other than tuft weave as long as the carpet 4 is made of a material that is not easily torn or hairs fall off. The length of the carpet 4 may be a length that can cover the entire outer periphery of the main body 2. In some cases, the length can be double or triple around the outer periphery of the main body 2.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the carpet 4 that circulates around the outer periphery of the main body 2 is fixed by a stopper 12 (FIG. 4). In this embodiment, the case where a screw is used as the stopper 12 is taken as an example, but the stopper 12 can be a snap button, a planar fastener, or the like. In either case, the carpet 12 can be removed from the main body 2 by removing the stopper 12 as shown in FIG. 4 so that it can be periodically washed or replaced with another carpet. Is preferred. In this embodiment, the screw cap 8 made of resin is attached to the head of the screw to perform the blinding process, but it can also be processed with a bond or a wood seal.

  The pedestal 5 is for mounting the main body 2. A pedestal 5 shown in FIG. 1 includes a base portion 9 on which the main body 2 is placed, and a misalignment prevention portion 10 that prevents the misalignment of the main body 2 placed on the pedestal 5 in the front-rear direction (YY arrow direction in FIG. 1). I have. The base portion 9 is formed by molding wood into a horizontally long rectangular column shape. A rubber material 11 is fixed to the bottom surface of the base portion 9 as an anti-slip material and a buffer material with an adhesive.

  As shown in FIG. 3, two misalignment prevention portions 10 are provided on the upper surface of the base portion 9 with a space therebetween. The interval between the two misregistration prevention units 10 is approximately the same as the vertical dimension of the main body 2 (10 cm in the example of FIG. 1), and the main body 2 is placed between the misregistration prevention units 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the animal can play by climbing up to a high part on the upper side of the main body 2 by adopting a structure like a balance beam.

  As an example, the misalignment prevention unit 10 shown in FIG. 1 is formed by stacking substantially semicircular members in plan view in multiple stages and fixing them with an adhesive or screws. In this embodiment, a plurality of members are stacked in order from the largest in diameter, but the order of stacking may be other than this. The misalignment prevention unit 10 may have other structures as long as it can prevent misalignment of the main body 2 placed on the pedestal 5 in the front-rear direction (YY arrow direction in FIG. 1). By making the misalignment prevention unit 10 a stylish structure, the appearance is improved.

  The example shown in FIG. 1 is an example in the case of using two pedestals 5, and the main body 2 can be placed on the two pedestals 5 arranged at intervals. The interval between the two pedestals 5 is such that when the main body 2 is placed so as to straddle the two pedestals 5, the stoppers 3 provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body 2 are positioned outside the both pedestals 5. . By setting such an interval, even if the main body 2 is displaced in the left-right direction (the direction of the arrow XX in FIG. 1), the main body 2 does not fall from the both pedestals 5, and a cat or the like can be used safely. it can.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the animal nail clipper 1 of the present invention is placed on the main body 2 to take a nail, or as shown in FIG. It is possible to play with a forefoot in the cavity 6 of the main body 2.

  The animal nail clipper 1 of the present invention can be used particularly suitably as a pet clip for domestic pets, specifically, a cat clipper having a habit of hooking a nail.
