JP6282008B2 - Neck hold collar for quadruped animals - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a protective device for treatment of animals (dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc.) that perform quadrupedal walking, and in particular to restrict the animal's mouth from approaching parts other than the animal's mouth. It relates to a neck hold collar that is worn around.

  When an animal with a wound or infection site on the body licks or bites the wound or infection site, the wound worsens or infects other sites. Therefore, a so-called Elizabeth color is known as a color that restricts licking or biting a wound or an infected part. This Elizabeth collar is similar to wearing an unfolded umbrella upside down on the neck. The diameter of the umbrella is set large so that the animal does not approach any part other than the mouth (front legs, rear legs, abdomen, back, etc.). For this reason, animals are reluctant to wear conventional Elizabeth collars, and even if they are worn, it is difficult to eat by themselves. Also, if an animal wearing an Elizabeth collar moves around, it may damage surrounding items.

  Therefore, it has been attempted to produce an Elizabeth collar with a flexible material, towel cloth, or the like (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  The above-mentioned conventional Elizabeth collar is made of flexible material, toweling, etc., but it will alleviate damage to surrounding items, but will not want to wear (it is uncomfortable to wear) or eat food Difficult problems are not solved.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a neck hold collar that is comfortable to wear and easy to eat.

A quadruped animal neck hold collar of the reference invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems is a belt-like neck hold collar body that wraps around a quadruped animal neck, and the belt-like neck hold collar body is attached to and detached from the quadruped animal neck. The belt-like neck hold collar main body is made of an elastic material.

  An animal can be prevented from approaching a region other than the mouth. Moreover, the belt-like neck hold collar body made of an elastic material is simply wrapped around the neck, so that the discomfort of wearing is reduced and it is relatively easy to eat food.

  In the above quadruped animal neck hold collar, the belt-like neck hold collar body may be covered with a breathable sheet. Since the belt-like neck hold collar body does not directly contact the animal's neck, the wearing discomfort is reduced and the stuffiness around the neck is reduced.

  The elastic material may be a foam. The foam is breathable and further reduces stuffiness around the neck.

  The foam may be chip urethane. Since chip urethane has few repeated compression set, the function of regulating neck movement is maintained for a long time.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the neck hold collar for a quadruped animal according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes a belt-like neck hold collar main body 10 that wraps around the neck of the quadruped animal, and the neck hold collar main body 10 is a quadruped animal. And detachable mounting means 20 that is detachably mounted on the neck.

  The belt-like neck hold collar body 10 is associated with the back collar portion 11 having a back head convex portion 11a that locks to the back of the quadruped animal and a back neck concave portion 11b that locks to the back of the neck and the jaw of the quadruped animal. The front collar portion 12 has a jaw convex portion 12a to be stopped and a neck front convex portion 12b to be engaged with the neck front root. A core material 12c is attached from the jaw convex portion 12a of the neck collar portion 12 to the neck front root convex portion 12b.

  Hook fasteners 20 a and 20 b constituting the detachable mounting means 20 are attached to the ends of the back collar portion 11 and the front collar portion 12. A hook is formed on the hook-and-loop fastener 20a, and a loop is formed on the hook-and-loop fastener 20b.

  The belt-like neck hold collar body 10 is made of an elastic material. The elastic material is excellent in stretchability, restricts the movement of the neck, has little foreign object feeling when worn, and does not damage animals even when worn on the neck.

  Further, it is more preferable that the belt-like neck hold collar body 10 is a foam. The foam is breathable and further mitigates the stuffiness around the neck.

  The belt-like neck hold collar body 10 is further preferably made of chip urethane. Chip urethane is made by crushing (recycled) the end material of urethane (sponge), blending the adhesive, putting it in a mold, pressing and solidifying it with steam, and has little settling (compression set) and hardness. It is a certain urethane sponge. Therefore, the function of regulating the movement of the neck is maintained for a long time in the neck hold collar made of chip urethane.

  The belt-like neck hold collar body 10 is preferably covered with a breathable sheet 15 as shown in FIG. Since the belt-like neck hold collar main body 10 does not directly contact the animal's neck, the discomfort of wearing is further reduced, and stuffiness around the neck is further reduced. The sheet 15 is a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, or a cloth. The knitting may be lace knitting. The cloth may be a non-woven fabric.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the core material 12 c of this embodiment is formed by, for example, attaching an elongated rubber rubber 12 c 2 to an elongated hard plastic plate 12 c 1. The front collar portion 12 is restrained from being bent by the core material 12c, and bending the neck downward is further restrained. Further, since the rubber rubber 12c2 comes into contact with the neck of the animal, relative slip of the neck and the neck hold collar is suppressed.

  Next, a procedure for attaching the quadruped animal neck hold collar of the present embodiment to the neck of a dog will be described. First, the rear head convex portion 11a of the back collar portion 11 is positioned on the back of the dog, and the rear neck concave portion 11b is positioned on the neck rear portion of the dog. The neck front ridge 12b is wound around the neck so that it is located at the neck front of the dog. Thereafter, the hook-and-loop fastener 20a and the hook-and-loop fastener 20b are connected to complete the mounting, as shown in FIG.

  For example, even if the attached dog tries to bend the neck downward, it is difficult to bend because the neck collar portion 12 is stretched between the lower jaw and the base of the neck. In particular, in the neck hold collar of the present embodiment, since the core material 12c is attached from the chin convex portion 12a of the neck collar portion 12 to the neck front convex portion 12b, the neck cannot be bent downward.

  Further, even if the dog that is attached tries to bend the neck up, the neck rear collar portion 11 is stretched between the back of the head and the base of the back of the neck, making it difficult to bend.

(Embodiment 2)
In the quadruped animal neck hold collar of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the belt-like neck hold collar body 10 of the first embodiment is divided into a neck rear collar portion 11 and a neck collar portion 12, and is divided. The rear collar portion 11 and the front collar portion 12 are connected by a length adjusting means 13.

  The length adjusting means 13 includes a plurality of snap buttons 13a and 13b. 13a is a male snap button, and 13b is a female snap button.

  Since the neck hold collar for a quadruped animal of this embodiment includes the length adjusting means 13, it can be attached to animals with different neck circumferences without looseness.

  The size and shape of the quadruped neck hold collar varies depending on the breed, but it can be designed and manufactured for each breed. Even if the dog breed is the same, the size is different, but S size, M size, and L size may be prepared.
