Description

  The present invention relates to a handcart for a pet that can carry a pet such as a pet dog to a park while protecting it from a car or bicycle accident or stroll with a pet that is difficult to walk.

  Owners of large dogs who are difficult to walk are very difficult to walk with their pet dogs, and even small dogs carry them in their cages or hold them while walking, so many pet dogs do a lot of labor It was necessary. Healthy old dogs often refrain from walking in the middle of a walk and often sit down, especially for large dog owners.

Conventionally, as a technique related to a handcart for carrying dogs and cats, for example, in Patent Document 1, a belt-like cloth wound around the body of a dog and cat is fastened between two basic props of a handcart, The owner describes a technique in which dogs and cats are wound around with a belt-like cloth and are hand-carryed and transported in a comfortable posture for walking movement of dogs and cats.
Utility Model Registration No. 3097661

  However, the above-described technique is intended for dogs and cats that can be held comfortably, and not large dogs. In particular, it is difficult to carry and move large dogs and old dogs with poor feet, and the appearance of a handcart for such pets has been desired. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and can be safely moved or walked with not only small dogs and cats, but also dogs that are difficult to walk, old dogs and pets including large dogs. An object of the present invention is to provide a handcart for pets that can be used.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a pet handcart according to the present invention is attached to a seat box 4 for accommodating a pet and a rear part of the seat box so as to be freely opened and closed. In the closed state, it functions as a pet drop-off during movement, and a cut-out part (so-called hatch, lid, and other members) for taking out the pet's tail. In the state where the step plate 6 provided with 7 and the tail coming out of the hollow portion 7 are prevented from touching the ground, and the step plate is opened. The tail plate 8 that functions as a step board for allowing the pet to enter with the step plate, and the step plate 6 has wheels 24 on the ground side when the step plate 6 is opened, In a state in which step plate 6 is opened, when a further took weight from above it is characterized by having a suppressing rotation suppressing means 33 a rotation of the wheel.

  In the present invention, the pet is allowed to enter from behind the handcart so that when the pet gets in, it is in the same direction as the traveling direction of the handcart. At this time, the step plate is formed so that the tail comes out, and the pet's buttocks can be pushed and closed so as not to stimulate the tail. In addition, a wheel is attached to this step so that the pet can easily move to the boarding position of the pet. Further, when the pet tries to board, the rotation of the wheel is locked to prevent the handcart from moving. It should be noted that an anti-slip is preferably attached to the upper part of the step plate so that the pet does not slide its foot.

  Further, the wheel of the pet handcart according to the present invention has a rubber tire, and the rotation suppression means is applied by applying a load to the step plate so that the step plate contacts the rubber tire of the wheel. It is characterized by suppressing rotation.

  If the step plate is made of rubber or a sheet having a large frictional force is attached to the tire contact position, the suppression effect is further increased. The tire is not limited to rubber, but may be made of a material having a friction coefficient equivalent to or higher than rubber and having appropriate elasticity.

  Preferably, the seat box is provided at a position of 10 to 15 cm above the ground, and the bottom of the seat box is lower than the step plate when the step plate is opened between the seat box bottom and the step plate. It is preferable to provide a step of 8 cm.

  By providing a level difference, the pet does not stop in the middle of the step board, but also enters the seat box including the hind legs. Note that if the step size is too small, there is no effect of the step, and if it is too large, the warning is not made and the process proceeds forward.

  More preferably, this step is adjustable for each pet so that the pet can smoothly enter the seat box.

Also, the following means should be provided so that you can take a walk with your pet comfortably.
An umbrella stand is provided on the handle of the pet barrow, and a hood is attached on the pet seat box. This protects against sudden rain and sunlight.

  Further, the umbrella stand 10 attached to the handle is firmly fixed by attaching the pipe support iron plate 16 to the handle 23 and the frame 17, and the umbrella can be a plurality of large, medium, and small according to the owner to be used. It is possible to change the length of different patterns.

  In addition, the seat box is provided with one front wheel and two 22-inch pneumatic tires on both sides. As a result, the direction can be changed smoothly and the road can be moved easily even if there are some steps on the road. At this time, the injury prevention plate 12 may be attached with a transparent material (for example, an acrylic plate) that has sufficient strength and durability on the side surface of the seat box and does not obstruct the view. This prevents the pet from injuring hair, hands, feet, etc. with the pneumatic tire, and prevents the tire from being damaged by the pet's nails.

  In addition, hand brakes on both sides of the steering wheel are recommended for climbing up and down a steep hill or when stopping.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, a pet can be boarded in a handcart without stimulating. As a result, not only small dogs and cats but also dogs that are difficult to walk, and pets that are old dogs including large dogs can be safely moved or walked with their owners.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a pet handcart according to the present embodiment. In the following description, the handcart for pets is simply referred to as a handcart, and a dog (hereinafter referred to as a pet dog) is used as an example of a pet.

  In FIG. 1, the handcart 1 has a seat box 4 for holding a pet dog at the time of transfer, and a front wheel (direction front wheel) 9 and a seat which are freely changed in direction at the lower front side of the bottom of the seat box 4. A 22-inch pneumatic tire 5 is attached to the rear side surface of the box 4 via a frame 17. A transparent injury prevention plate 12 is attached to the inside of both frames 17.

  At the back of the seat box 4, a tail holder 8 for mounting the tail of a pet dog is attached, and a step plate 6 is rotatably attached via a hinge, and slides on the upper surface of the step plate 6. A stop 14 is provided. The step plate 6 is provided with a hatch (recessed portion) 7 that is hollowed out to bring out the tail of the pet dog.

  Further, a handle 23 for operating the handcart 1 is fixed by the seat box 4 and the frame 17 attached thereto. An umbrella stand 10 for raising an umbrella, a hood 3, and a hand brake 2 are attached to the handle 23.

  Here, the state in which the step plate 6 is tilted as shown in FIG. 2 is referred to as “open state” or “open state”, and the state in which the step plate 6 is erected in the vertical direction is “closed state” or “closed”. It is called "the state that was done.

As shown in FIG. 3, a cushion rubber 15 is attached to the lower side of the step plate 6 (the lower side when it is in an open state) so that the impact is alleviated even if it is pushed down vigorously. .
A procedure for manufacturing the handcart will be described.

(1) First, as shown in FIG. 6, the pipe support iron plate 16 is attached to the handle 23 and the frame 17 as shown in FIG. 6, and the umbrella stand 10 is attached to the pipe support iron plate 16. A lid 20 is attached to the umbrella stand 10, and a fastener 13 is attached under the umbrella stand 10.
(2) A slip stopper 14 is attached to the step plate 6. A rubber cushion 15 is attached to the back of the step plate 6 so that it will not be broken by an impact when it is opened (turned down).
Further, the step plate 6 is opened and closed by locking or unlocking by fastening the fasteners 13.
(3) Attach the hand brake 2 to both sides of the handle 23.
(4) A directional front wheel 9 and a 22-inch pneumatic tire 5 are attached.
(5) The seat box 4 is made of a lightweight material such as aluminum or plastic.
(6) Install the tail rest 8 at the rear of the seat box 4.
(7) A transparent plastic plate (injury prevention plate) 12 is attached to both inner sides of the 22-inch pneumatic tire 5 so as to prevent the dog from being injured and to prevent the view from being obstructed.
(8) Mount the hood 3 on the seat box 4.
(9) The umbrella has a dew stopper 19 in the hole 18 so that the handle 23 and the frame 17 sandwich the handle of the umbrella.

  In the handcart 1 having the above-described configuration, first, when putting a pet dog in the seat box 4, the step plate 6 is tilted as shown in FIG. An appropriate slope is formed by the height of the cushion rubber 15, and the pet dog moves from the right side of FIG.

When the entry of the pet dog is completed, the step board 6 is raised (closed) and locked.
FIG. 7 shows an example of this locking means. The umbrella stand 10 and the pipe support iron plate 16 that fixes the umbrella stand 10 are attached to the handle 23, and the fastener 13 is attached to the pipe support iron plate 16. When the step plate 6 is erected, the end of the step plate 6 is located immediately below the fastener 13, and the fastener 13 is rotated downward as shown in FIG. Try to lock.

  When the step plate 6 is tilted, the fastener 13 is again rotated in the lateral direction as shown in FIG.

  In addition, when attaching the step board 6 to the seat box 4, not making the step board 6 and the bottom face of the seat box 4 substantially the same surface (same height), but lowering the bottom face of the seat box 4 by about 2 cm to 8 cm. . This step causes the dog to move to the point where both feet are parallel due to the lower front paws. That is, it becomes easy to move to the place where the rear foot completely enters the seat box 4. On the other hand, if there is no step, many situations occur where the step plate 6 stops midway. It is very difficult to direct a dog with a weak leg that has stopped once to move again.

Next, the operation of the hatch 7 will be described.
Even if the pet dog puts all the legs in the seat box 4, the dog may stop when the back leg enters the seat box 4. In this case, there is a possibility that the buttocks and tail of the pet dog will come out behind the vertical surface at the rear end of the seat box 4. In this state, when the step plate 6 is to be closed, if the step plate 6 does not have the hatch 7, the step plate 6 pushes the tail of the pet dog. Since animals generally have a habit of hating the stimulation to the tail, the possibility of jumping out of the seat box 4 due to such stimulation increases.

  On the other hand, for example, when transporting livestock by a normal truck or the like, since the front is blocked, the stimulation to the tail is expected to drive the livestock to the back. The pushcart is designed so that pet dogs can see the surroundings comfortably, especially in front.

  For this reason, it is necessary to put the pet dog firmly in the seat box without stimulating the tail. In other words, even if all the feet of a pet dog enter the seat box 4, it is very important to move the pet dog one step forward, especially for pet dogs and old dogs with poor feet.

  In the present embodiment, only the position where the tail comes when the pet dog enters the seat box 4 in the step board 6 is hollowed out, so that the tail of the pet dog can be pushed without stimulating the tail. Because of this, you can move your dog without stimulating it more than necessary.

  The tail placement portion 8 is formed in accordance with the size of the hatch 7 of the step plate 6 so as to have a sufficient size so that there is no gap when the step plate 6 is opened. By doing so, it is possible to avoid occurrence of a situation in which the pet dog does not move when the dog passes the step plate 6 and the pet dog does not move due to the presence of a large gap.

In addition, as shown in the figure, the tail placement portion 8 is formed with a sufficient area to fill the hollowed portion of the hatch 7 below the step plate 6, and a position where the tail placement portion 8 comes into contact with the step plate 6 when opened. It may be arranged in a relationship, or when opened, it may be formed so that it is just within the hollowed portion of the step plate 6 and becomes the same surface.
(Other examples)

  In the above, the cushion rubber 15 is provided on the step plate 6 so as to reduce the impact when it is tilted, but instead of this, wheels 24 may be attached. In this way, the handcart can be moved to an appropriate position where the pet dog can easily ride with the step plate 6 opened. At this time, the movement is further facilitated by making the wheel 24 a directional wheel whose direction can be freely changed.

  Further, by making the wheel 24 a pneumatic tire, a rubber tire or the like, the shock when the step plate 6 is opened and the wheel 24 comes into contact with the ground can be reduced.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the wheel 24 is attached via a supporting means 26 that is rotatable around a fulcrum 25, and the indicating means 26 and the step plate 6 are connected by an elastic body 27 such as a spring. The elastic body has an elastic force and a size so that the wheel 24 and the step plate 6 are not in contact with each other when the weight is not applied on the step plate 6, and the pet dog is in contact with the step plate 6 when the load is applied. Adjust.

Next, the operation of this configuration will be described.
When the pet dog puts his or her foot on the step plate 6, a force is applied in a diagonally downward and forward direction as shown in FIG. 8 (b) . That is, a force is applied to push the handcart forward through the step plate 6, but the wheel is brought into contact with the step plate 6 and the rotation of the wheel is suppressed by the above-described configuration. The power to be lost is diminished.

  As described above, the wheel 24, the support means 26, the elastic body 27, and the step plate 6 can constitute the rotation suppressing means 33 that suppresses the rotation of the wheel when the step plate 6 is further loaded from above. it can.

  The wheels may be rubber tires, and the rubber sheet 36 may be attached to the step plate 6 side where the step plate 6 and the wheel are in contact. Since the frictional resistance increases due to the contact between the rubbers, the ability to suppress the rotation of the wheels is improved. The frictional force may be further improved by providing irregularities on the tire surface or the surface of the rubber sheet.

  Further, the wheel may use a metal or resin indicating means having flexibility. If it does in this way, a rotation suppression effect can be exhibited only by attaching the wheel 24 to the step board 6 via this support means.

  In the case of a directional wheel, as shown in FIG. 9, a pipe 29 is placed on a support shaft 28 of the wheel 24, and the pipe 29 is fixed to a support frame 31 of the wheel via an elastic body 30 such as a spring. The support shaft 28 is rotatable in the pipe 29. In such a configuration, when a load is applied to the wheel, the elastic body contracts and deforms, and the tire upper portion of the wheel 24 and the friction sheet 36 attached in the support frame 31 come into contact with each other. The rotation of the wheel can be suppressed by the frictional force due to this contact.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the owner can safely move or take a walk on a handcart without stimulating his pet dog. In particular, it is extremely difficult for the owner to hold, push and pull the dog when it is a large dog. For this reason, it is important not to cause the animal to be wary in a series of flow until it is put on the handcart. However, according to the present embodiment, the wheel 24 attached under the step plate 6 is weighted. In order to allow the dog to be completely in the seat box, a step is provided on the step plate 6 and the seat box so that the boundary can be seen. Even if it is a large dog, the step board is closed smoothly by the cutout structure of the step board for moving the dog dog further forward one step without stimulating the tail. Can be in a state.

  Further, since the tail of the pet dog that has come out of the hatch 7 of the step plate 6 is placed on the tail placing portion 8, it does not come into contact with the ground or be stepped on by a wheel. Furthermore, the tail placing part 8 functions as a part of the step board 6 when the pet dog gets in, and contributes to the smooth entry of the pet dog.

  Moreover, since it has the structure which puts a pet dog from the back of a handcart through the step board 6, the pet dog will move to the direction which faced forward with the boarded state. For this reason, when the owner pushes the wheelbarrow and starts moving, the pet dog is not surprised, and it is not necessary to change the direction of the pet dog, so the burden on the owner is reduced.

  In addition, if a parallel portion with a width of about several centimeters is provided as shown in FIG. 5 (a) before reaching the bottom surface of the seat box 4 from the step plate 6, The position where the buttocks and the tail do not substantially hit even when the step plate 6 is closed can be achieved. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), for example, by providing an umbrella tip hole 18 in the region of a width of several centimeters so that the umbrella tip 19 can be inserted, It is possible to prepare for sudden rain and to make effective use of space. However, for a large dog, this width of about a few centimeters may not be enough. If this width is increased, the size of the wheelbarrow 1 will increase. It is preferable that the seat box 4 is moved.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, a pet dog is covered with a hood and an owner with an umbrella stand on a rainy day, so it is possible to take a walk without getting wet even in sudden rain. Can be avoided. In addition, by installing a seat box about 10 to 15 cm above the ground, pet dogs who have difficulty walking can take a walk with a natural sensation with almost the same line of sight as when healthy.

It should be noted that various sizes of dogs can be accommodated by changing the size of the seat box according to the size of the dog, and a lattice net is preferably attached to a dog that is at risk of jumping out. 14 to 17 show an embodiment in which a basket 34 is provided in the seat box 4. The cage 34 is attached to the handle frame 23 at point A via an arm 37 attached to the front side of both sides of the upper side of the basket (backward when the handcart 1 is used as a reference). The basket 35 can be controlled to open and close with the point A as a fulcrum by pulling the string 35 from the substantially middle point on both sides and pulling or loosening the string by the owner. In this way, when the pet dog is put on the handcart 1, the string is loosened as shown in FIG. 14, and the front of the seat box 4 is covered with the basket. FIG. 15 is a view showing a state where the pet dog gets into the seat box 4 of the handcart 1 and the owner closes the step plate 6. When releasing a pet dog in a park or the like, if you pull the string and open the basket as shown in Fig. 16, the pet dog will be placed on the handcart 1 and walked or moved to the destination without any burden on the owner. can do. FIG. 17 is a view showing a state where the pet dog has passed under the basket 34 and has completely left the handcart 1.

  Furthermore, the handcart according to the present embodiment can be regarded as a dynamic design characterized by the state in which the step plate is opened, and has a copyrighted property. FIG. 10 shows a five-side view of a handcart composed of a seat box 4, a 22-inch pneumatic tire 5, a step plate 6, a hatch 7, a tail rest portion 8, a front wheel 9, a handle 23, and a rear wheel 24. To do. The left side view is omitted because it is symmetrical with the right side view. The handcart 1 shown in FIG. 10 has two rear wheels 24 in the direction and one front wheel 9 in the direction. FIG. 11 is an external perspective view of the handcart 1. FIG. 12 is an external perspective view with the step plate closed, and FIG. 13 is a right side view at this time. In contrast to this basic configuration, the hood 3 and the umbrella stand 10 have the same characteristics.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the number of front-direction wheels 9 is not one, but two on the left and right may be provided to improve stability. Further, the rotation suppressing means 33 may be locked against the forward movement.

  Obviously, the above-described configurations can be arbitrarily combined and implemented.

  Moreover, the handcart of the present invention can be applied not only to pets but also to general domestic animals including livestock.
