Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、猫等のペットを収容可能なペット用筐体及びペット用爪研部材を備えたペット用筐体並びにペット用爪研部材に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来のペット用筐体としては、図１２に示すようなものが知られている（特許文献１参照）。図１２（ａ）は、従来のペット用筐体の展開図、（ｂ）は、従来のペット用筐体の組立工程を示す斜視図、（ｃ）は、従来のペット用筐体の斜視図である。
【０００３】
図１２（ａ）及び（ｃ）に示すように、従来のペット用筐体１００は、６面体で構成され、上面部１０１、側面部１０２、底面部１０３、側面部１０４、閉塞部１０５及び閉塞部１０６からなり、これらの６面で形成された内側に収容空間を有する。また、上面部１０１、側面部１０２、底面部１０３、側面部１０４、閉塞部１０５及び閉塞部１０６には、夫々ペットがペット用筐体に出入するための出入口１０１ｅ、１０２ｅ、１０３ｅ、１０４ｅ、１０５ｅ及び１０６ｅを有している。また、上面部１０１には、ペット用筐体１００を組立てた場合に側面部１０４と組み合わされて固定される、折込片１０１ａが設けられている。
【０００４】
図１２（ａ）に示すように、閉塞部１０６は、ペット用筐体１００を組立てた場合に上面部１０１と組み合わされる側に折込片１０６ａを有し、この折込片１０６ａには係合部１０６ｂが形成されている。また、閉塞部１０６は、ペット用筐体１００を組立てた場合に側面部１０４と組み合わされる側に折込片１０６ｃを有し、この折込片１０６ｃには係合部１０６ｄが形成されている（前記閉塞部１０６は、ペット用筐体１００を組立てた場合に側面部１０２と組み合わされる側も同様の構成でなる）。なお、閉塞部１０５も閉塞部１０６と同様の構成でなる。
【０００５】
図１２（ａ）に示すように、側面部１０４は、ペット用筐体１００を組立てた場合に閉塞部１０６と組み合わされる側に、折込片１０４ａを有し、この折込片１０４ａには係合部１０４ｂ及び舌片１０４ｃが形成されている（側面部１０４は、ペット用筐体１００を組立てた場合に閉塞部１０５と組み合わされる側も同様の構成でなる）。なお、側面部１０２も側面部１０４と同様の構成でなる。
【０００６】
図１２（ａ）に示すように、上面部１０１は、ペット用筐体１００を組立てた場合に閉塞部１０６と組み合わされる側に舌片１０１ｂを有する。なお、底面部１０３も上面部１０１と同様の構成でなる。
【０００７】
従来のペット用筐体１００を組立てる場合には、図１２（ａ）及び（ｂ）に示すように、折込片１０１ａを側面部１０４の内側に組み合わせて当接させ、折込片１０６ａを上面部１０１の内側に当接させるようにして舌片１０１ｂを係合部１０６ｂに係合させる。また、折込片１０６ｃを係合部１０４ｂに係合させた後、舌片１０４ｃを係合部１０６ｄに係合させる（これら以外の係合状態については、その説明を省略する）。このようにして、総ての係合部と舌片又は折込片とを係合させると、図１２（ｃ）に示すように、６面体で構成される従来のペット用筐体１００が完成する。また、展開する場合には、前述した係合部等を解除するようにすればよい。
【０００８】
また、従来のペット用爪研部材を備えたペット用筐体としては、図１３に示すようなものが知られている（特許文献２）。図１３は、従来のペット用爪研部材を備えたペット用筐体の斜視図である。
【０００９】
図１３に示すように、従来のペット用爪研部材を備えたペット用筐体１２０は、ペットを内部に収納可能な筐体本体１２１と、平面部１２２とから構成されている。筐体本体１２１は、斜面部１２１ａ、斜面部１２１ｂ、底面部１２１ｆ、三角形状の側面部１２１ｄ及び三角形状の側面部１２１ｅからなる五面体で構成され、斜面部１２１ａには、ペットが出入するためのアーチ状の出入口１２１ｃが設けられている。
【００１０】
図１３に示すように、平面部１２２は、筐体本体１２１の底面部１２１ｆから連続して構成され、筐体本体１２１の斜面部１２１ｂの上端部近傍から斜面部１２１ａ及び平面部１２３まで連続して、横線条でかつ面状のペット用爪研部材１２３が設けられている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかして、ペット用筐体は、収納の便宜のため展開及び組立てが自在であり、かつ、低廉なものである必要があることから、段ボール等の安価な材質によって構成されることが多く、ペット用筐体へのペットの出入りや、ペット用筐体内部でのペットの動きに耐え得る強固な構造で構成されることが望ましい。しかしながら、従来のペット用筐体１００は、係合部と舌片又は折込片とを係合させることのみによって、上面部１０１、側面部１０２、底面部１０３、側面部１０４、閉塞部１０５、側面部１０６を連結して組立てられているため、組立てられたペット用筐体１００の強度は低く破損しやすい。このようにペット用筐体が破損しやすいため、破損する毎に新しいペット用筐体を購入する必要が生じることからコストが増大する傾向がある。
【００１３】
また、猫等は、人目につかない狭い場所を好む習性や、爪を研ぐ習性もあるが、従来のペット用爪研部材を備えたペット用筐体１２０は、ペット用爪研部材１２３が筐体本体１２１の外側に設けられているので、前記習性の両方を同時に満たすものではない。また、従来のペット用爪研部材を備えたペット用筐体１２０は、ペット用爪研部材１２３が筐体本体１２１の外側に設けられているので、爪研によって生じる爪研屑が周囲に散逸してしまう。さらに、ペット用爪研部材１２３が筐体本体１２１と一体的に設けられているので、ペット用爪研部材１２３が磨耗し、爪研ぎの効果がなくなった場合に、ペット用爪研部材１２３のみを取り替えることはできず、筐体本体１２１を含めたペット用筐体１２０全体を購入しなければならず、コストがかかる。
【００１４】
そこで本発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたものであって、展開及び組立てが自在かつ低廉であり強固に組立てることが可能なペット用筐体及びペット用爪研部材の取替えが容易なペット用爪研部材を備えたペット用筐体並びにペット用爪研部材を提供することを目的とする。
【００１５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明によるペット用筐体は、展開及び組立てが自在でペットの収容が可能なペット用筐体であって、側面部が多面でなり、該多面で形成された内側に収容空間を有する多面体でなる筐体本体と、前記筐体本体の多面で構成された収容空間を閉塞する閉塞板とを備え、前記閉塞板が嵌挿される前記筐体本体の周縁部近傍に折返部を設けた。
【００１６】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体の前記多面体は、上面部、左側面部、右側面部、底面部からなる立方体形状で構成され、前記閉塞板は、正面板及び背面板とを有する。
【００１７】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体の前記多面体は、第１側面部乃至第６側面部からなる６角柱状で構成され、前記閉塞板は、正面板及び背面板とを有する。
【００１８】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体の前記折返部は、前記筐体本体の周縁部近傍に縁辺部を有する。
【００１９】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体の前記正面板及び背面板の夫々は、張出部が形成され、該張出部が係合可能な係合部を前記折返部に設けた。
【００２０】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体の前記折返部の縁辺部は、端部がテーパ状に形成された切欠部を有する台形形状でなり、前記筐体本体の組立て時に隣接する縁辺部の各切欠部同士が当接する。
【００２１】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体の前記折返部の前記縁辺部以外の部位には、筐体本体を組立てた場合に隣接する折返部に設けられた係合凸部又は係合凹部と係合可能な係合凹部又は係合凸部を有する。
【００２２】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体の前記閉塞板及び／又は前記多面体には、出入口を有する。
【００２３】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体は、前記多面で形成された内側に収容空間を有する多面体でなる筐体本体と、前記閉塞板が嵌挿される前記筐体本体の周縁部近傍に設けられた折返部との間で形成される空間に、縦長の矩形状でなるペット用爪研部材を挿入して固定する構成とした。
【００２４】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体の前記折返部の縁辺部の幅は、前記ペット用爪研部材の厚さと同じ若しくは薄く構成した。
【００２５】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体の前記折返部は、凹部を設けた。
【００２６】
また、本発明によるペット用筐体は、ペット用筐体の一辺の長さよりもやや長く形成したペット用爪研部材を筐体本体の縁辺部と平行に筐体本体の内側に密着させて設置し、前記ペット用爪研部材の両端を筐体本体の対向する２面によって挟持して固定する。
【００２７】
また、本発明によるペット用爪研部材は、ペット用筐体で用いられるペット用爪研部材において、複数枚貼り合わせて形成された段ボールを前記ペット用筐体に取付け可能な長さと厚さを有する板状体に裁断して構成した。
【００２８】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に本発明によるペット用筐体の実施の形態について、図１及び図２を参照して説明する。図１は、本発明によるペット用筐体が組立てられた状態の斜視図、図２（ａ）は、本発明によるペット用筐体の筐体本体の展開図、（ｂ）は、正面板の平面図、（ｃ）は、背面板の正面図である。
【００２９】
図１に示すように、ペット用筐体１は、内側に収容空間を有する筐体本体２と、筐体本体２の収容空間を閉塞する正面板３０及び背面板３１とからなり、筐体本体２は、全体が立方体形状で構成され、上面部８、左側面部９、右側面部７、底面部６とを有する。なお、本実施の形態では、立方体形状で構成されているが、直方体形状や三角柱状でもよく、側面部が多面で形成された内側に収容空間を有する多面体であればよい。

【００３４】
図２（ａ）に示すように、底面部６は、右側面部７と隣接している１辺（すなわちＸ方向に位置する辺）と直交する２辺（すなわちＹ方向に位置する辺）に、縁辺部１３又は縁辺部１５を有し、縁辺部１３は、端部がテーパ状に形成された切欠部１３ａ及び１３ｂを有する台形形状でなり、筐体本体２を組立てた場合に隣接する他の縁辺部の切欠部と当接するようになっている。
【００３５】
また、図２（ａ）に示すように、縁辺部１３の端部には、折返片１２が設けられ、縁辺部１５の端部には、折返片１４が設けられている。図２（ａ）に示すように、折返片１２は、係合凹部１２ａと、係合凹部１２ｂと、係合部１２ｃと、凹部１２ｄとを有する。なお、縁辺部１３、縁辺部１５、折返片１２、折返片１４とで折返部を構成し、この折返部は後述する右側面部７、上面部８及び左側面部９も同様の名称を用いる。
【００３６】
図２（ａ）に示すように、係合凹部１２ａと係合凹部１２ｂとは、折返片１２の一方の側端に係合凹部１２ａが形成され、他方の側端に係合凹部１２ｂが形成されており、筐体本体２を組立てた場合に隣接する他の折返片に設けられた係合凸部と係合するようになっている。なお、本実施の形態では、折返片１２の両側端に１つの係合凹部を設けているが、必ずしも一つである必要はなく、筐体本体２を組立てた場合に隣接する他の折返片に設けられた係合凸部の数に対応させて複数の係合凹部を設けて構成してもよい。
【００３７】
図２（ａ）に示すように、係合部１２ｃは、折返片１２の中央近傍に、縁辺部１３が設けられている底面部６の１辺と平行（すなわちＹ方向）に、長手状で設けられている。
【００３８】
図２（ａ）に示すように、凹部１２ｄは、折返片１２の端部の中央部近傍を矩形に切除して設けられている。なお、本実施の形態では、凹部１２ｄは、折返片１２の端部の中央部近傍に設けられているが、必ずしも係る構成をとる必要はなく、右側面部７寄りに設けてもよいし、折込片５寄りに設けてもよい。また、本実施の形態では、凹部１２ｄは、矩形に切除して設けられているが、必ずしも係る構成をとる必要はなく、円弧状に切除してもよく、これ以外の形状で切除して構成してもよい。
【００３９】
なお、図２（ａ）に示すように、縁辺部１５及び折返片１４は、縁辺部１３及び折返片１２と同様の構成からなっている。
【００４０】
図２（ａ）に示すように、縁辺部１３及び縁辺部１４と同様の構成で、右側面部７は、縁辺部１７及び縁辺部１９、上面部８は、縁辺部２１及び縁辺部２３、左側面部９は縁辺部２５及び縁辺部２７を有している。
【００４１】
図２（ａ）に示すように、折返片１２及び折返片１４と同様の構成で、上面部８は、折返片２０及び折返片２２を有している。
【００４２】
図２（ａ）に示すように、左側面部９の縁辺部２５の端部には、折返片２４が設けられ、縁辺部２７の端部には、折返片２６が設けられている。図２（ａ）に示すように、折返片２４は、係合凸部２４ａと、係合凸部２４ｂと、係合部２４ｃと、凹部２４ｄとを有する。係合凸部２４ａと係合凸部２４ｂは、折返片２４の一方の側端に係合凸部２４ａが形成され、他方の側端に係合凸部２４ｂが形成されており、筐体本体２を組立てた場合に隣接する他の折返片に設けられた係合凹部と係合するようになっている。なお、本実施の形態では、折返片２４の両側端に１つの係合凸部を設けているが、必ずしも一つである必要はなく、筐体本体２を組立てた場合に隣接する他の折返部に設けられた係合凹部の数に対応させて複数の係合凹部を設けて構成してもよい。図２（ａ）に示すように、係合部２４ｃと及び凹部２４ｄは、係合部１２ｃ及び１２ｄと同様の構成でなる。
【００４３】
また、図２（ａ）に示すように、折返片２６は、折返部２４と同様の構成からなっている。
【００４４】
図２（ａ）に示すように、折返片２４及び折返片２６と同様の構成で、右側面部７は、折返片１６及び折返片１８を有している。
【００４５】
なお、本実施の形態では、折返片１２、折返片１４、折返片２０、折返片２２は、その両側端に係合凹部を設け、折返片１６、折返片１８、折返片２４、折返片２６は、その両側端に係合凹部と係合可能な係合凸部を設ける構成としているが、必ずしもかかる構成をとる必要はなく、総ての折返片において、一方の側面に係合凹部を設け、他方の側面に係合凸部を設ける構成としてもよい。
【００４６】
図２（ｂ）に示すように、正面板３０は、正方形で構成されてなり、図１に示すように、筐体本体２の縁辺部１３、縁辺部１７、縁辺部２１、縁辺部２５によって形成される周縁部に嵌挿可能な大きさで形成され、各辺には夫々、張出部３０ａ、張出部３０ｂ、張出部３０ｃ、張出部３０ｄを設けて、筐体本体２の係合部２０ｃ、係合部２４ｃ、係合部１２ｃ、係合部１６ｃと係合できるようになっている。また、正面板３０の中央にはペットの出入が可能な円形形状の出入口３０ｅが形成されている。なお、本実施の形態では、正面板３０は、正方形で構成されてなるが、必ずしもかかる構成をとる必要はなく、例えば、筐体本体の側面部が多面でなり、この多面で形成された内側に収容空間を有する多面体で筐体本体が形成される場合には、多面体の収容空間を閉塞する形状とすればよい。
【００４７】
図２（ｃ）に示すように、背面板３１は、正方形で構成されてなり、図１に示すように、筐体本体２の縁辺部１５、縁辺部１９、縁辺部２３、縁辺部２７によって形成される周縁部に嵌挿可能な大きさで形成され、各辺には夫々、張出部３１ａ、張出部３１ｂ、張出部３１ｃ、張出部３１ｄを設けて、筐体本体２の係合部２２ｃ、係合部２６ｃ、係合部１４ｃ、係合部１８ｃと係合できるようになっている。また、背面板３１の中央にはペットの出入が可能な円形形状の出入口３１ｅが形成されている。なお、本実施の形態では、背面板３１は、正方形で構成されてなるが、必ずしもかかる構成をとる必要はなく、例えば、筐体本体の側面部が多面でなり、この多面で形成された内側に収容空間を有する多面体で筐体本体が形成される場合には、多面体の収容空間を閉塞する形状とすればよい。
【００４８】
次に、図３乃至図８を参照して、本発明によるペット用筐体の組立工程について説明し、併せて、ペット用爪研部材をペット用筐体に取り付ける構造及び方法について説明する。図３は、筐体本体の側面を組立てる工程を示す斜視図、図４は、筐体本体の縁辺部及び折返片を組立てる工程を示す斜視図、図５（ａ）は、ペット用爪研部材の第１の固定状態を示す斜視図、図５（ｂ）は、ペット用爪研部材の第２の固定状態を示す斜視図、図６（ａ）は、ペット用爪研部材の第１の固定状態とする工程を示す斜視図及びペット用爪研部材の部分拡大図、図６（ｂ）は、ペット用爪研部材の第１の固定状態とした工程を示す斜視図、図７は、ペット用爪研部材の第２の固定状態とする工程を示す斜視図、図８は、筐体本体に正面板を取り付ける工程を示す斜視図である。
【００４９】
図３に示すように、筐体本体２を組立てるには、まず、総ての縁辺部及び折返片を折り曲げない状態において、折込辺５、底面部６、右側面部７、上面部８、左側面部９、第１舌片３ａ及び第２舌片３ｂを各境界に設けられた折り目に沿って折り曲げる。その際に、第１舌片３ａを第１挿入孔４ａに挿入し、第２舌片３ｂを第２挿入孔４ｂに挿入して、第１舌片係止用段部３ａ１及び３ａ２が第１挿入孔４ａに、第２舌片係止用段部３ｂ１及び３ｂ２が第２挿入孔４ｂに確実に係止されるまで挿入して固定する。
【００５０】
次に、図４に示すように、総ての縁辺部及び折返片を順次折り曲げて、各折返片の両側端に設けられた係合凸部又は係合凹部と、これに隣接する折返片の両側端に設けられた係合凹部又は係合凸部とが係合するように組立てる。具体的には、縁辺部２５を左側面部９との境界に設けられた折り目に沿って折り曲げ、更に、折返片２４を、縁辺部２５との境界に設けられた折り目に沿って折り曲げる際に、既に折り曲げられて隣接する折返片１２の係合凹部１２ａと、折返片２４の係合凸部２４ｂとが係合するようにする。同様に他の総ての各係合凸部と係合凹部が係合するように縁辺部及び折返片を折り曲げて組立てる。総ての縁辺部及び折返片についての組立てが完了すると、総ての縁辺部の切欠部が、隣接する他の縁辺部の切欠部と当接し、しかも切欠部の当接は、前記のように相互に係合がされた総ての折返片によって支持されるので、筐体本体のゆがみに対して強い構造となる。
【００５１】
次に、図５乃至図７を参照して、組立てられた筐体本体にペット用爪研部材を取り付ける方法について説明する。
【００５２】
図６（ａ）に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３５は、複数枚貼り合わせて形成された段ボールを、ペット用筐体１に取付け可能な長さと厚さを有する板状体に裁断して形成されるものであり、全体として矩形板状形状でなるものである。図６（ａ）に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３５は、爪研部材裁断面３５ａと、爪研部材側面３５ｂと、爪研面３５ｃとからなる。また、図６（ｂ）に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３５は、筐体本体２の幅Ｌ１よりも短く、各縁辺部の幅Ｗと同じ若しくはやや厚く裁断されている。なお、本実施の形態では、ペット用爪研部材３５は、爪研部材側面３５ｂを長く、爪研部材裁断面３５ａを短く形成しているが、逆の構成としてもよい。
【００５３】
また、図７に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３６は、複数枚貼り合わせて形成された段ボールをペット用筐体１に取付け可能な長さと厚さを有する板状体に裁断して形成されるものであり、全体として矩形板状形状でなるものである。図７に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３６は、爪研部材裁断面３６ａと、爪研部材側面３６ｂと、爪研面３６ｃとからなる。また、図７に示すように、筐体本体２の幅Ｌ２と同じ若しくはやや長く裁断されている。なお、本実施の形態では、ペット用爪研部材３６は、爪研部材側面３６ｂを長く、爪研部材際断面３６ａを短く形成しているが、逆の構成としてもよい。
【００５４】
図５（ａ）に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３５をペット用筐体１に固定する第１の固定方法は、図６（ａ）に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３５を、爪研面３５ｃが上方向となるようにして、ペット用爪研部材３５の長手方向を縁辺部１３又は縁辺部１５と平行に、筐体本体２の内側の底面部６上に、折返片１２と折返片１４との間に位置するようにして設置する。その後、図６（ｂ）に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３５は、筐体本体２の幅Ｌ１よりも短く構成されているので、ペット用爪研部材３５を矢印方向に回動させることができ、ペット用爪研部材３５を矢印方向に回動させて、筐体本体２の底面部６と折返片１２との間に縁辺部１３の幅で形成される空間にペット用爪研部材３５の一方の端部を挿入し、筐体本体２の底面部６と折返片１４との間に縁辺部１５の幅で形成される空間にペット用爪研部材３５の他方の端部を挿入して、図５（ａ）に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３５を固定する。なお、以上のペット用爪研部材３５をペット用筐体１に固定する第１の固定方法は、既に組立てられた筐体本体２に対してペット用爪研部材３５を固定する方法であるが、筐体本体２の各縁辺部と折返片を組立てる前に、図５（ａ）に示す所定の位置にペット用爪研部材３５を予め設置してから、筐体本体２の各縁辺部と折返片を組立てることによって、筐体本体２の組立て途中においてペット用爪研部材３５をペット用筐体１に固定するようにしてもよい。
【００５５】
図６（ｂ）に示すように、ペット用爪研部材３５は、各縁辺部の幅Ｗと同じ若しくはやや厚く形成されており、しかも、総ての折返部は各係合凸部及び係合凹部によって相互に強固に固定されているので、ペット用爪研部材３５を強固に固定することができる。
【００５６】
本実施の形態では、図５（ａ）に示すように、折返部１２及び折返部１４、折返部１７及び折返部１９、折返部２１及び折返部２３、折返部２５及び折返部２７というように、筐体本体２を組立てた場合に互いに対向する折返部が４組あるので、底面部６の他、右側面部７、上面部８、左側面部９のどこにでもペット用爪研具３０を取り付けることが可能である。
【００５７】
