Description

The present invention relates to a posture holding table for pets that holds the posture of a pet such as a dog or a cat.

Older or sick pets may have difficulty becoming independent. However, quadrupedal animals such as dogs and cats tend to get sick if they remain lying on the ground for a long time. Therefore, conventionally, a posture holding table for pets has been proposed in which a pet is held in a standing posture by supporting at least a part of the weight of the pet in a standing posture (hereinafter referred to as a standing posture). Such a posture holding table for pets is suitable for caring for pets, and for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose such a posture holding table for pets.

The above-mentioned posture holding table for pets has a body mounting portion on which the pet's body can be mounted, a head mounting portion arranged in front of the body mounting portion, and a rear portion of the body mounting portion. It is equipped with a buttock mounting part to be arranged. Further, the pet posture holding table is arranged on the side of the body mounting portion, and is provided with a stopper portion for preventing the position of the pet's body from shifting to the left or right. Since the pet posture holding table has such a configuration, the pet placed on the pet posture holding table can take a standing posture without supporting the entire weight by itself.

Since the pet posture holding table holds the pet in a standing position, it has a height corresponding to the length of the pet's legs. Therefore, the body of the pet is held at a relatively high position, and there is a risk that the pet will fall sideways if it is not placed in the correct position or if it goes wild.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a posture holding table for pets, which can hold a pet in a standing position and does not easily fall sideways.

The posture holding table for pets according to the present invention is a posture holding table for pets that holds the posture of a pet made of a quadruped walking animal, and has a body supporting surface that supports the body of the pet in the front-rear direction. A central base whose dimensions are larger than the dimensions in the left-right direction, a left side base arranged on the left side of the body support surface of the central base, and a right arranged on the right side of the body support surface of the central base. It is equipped with a side stand. The left side base has a bottom surface, an inner slope extending diagonally upward to the left from the left end of the body support surface, and an outer surface located to the left of the inner slope. The right side stand has a bottom surface, an inner slope extending diagonally upward to the right from the right end of the body support surface, and an outer surface located to the right of the inner slope. The vertical dimension of the inner slope of the left side stand and the right side stand is ½ or more of the horizontal dimension of the body support surface. In the cross section orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the angle formed by the inner slope of the left side stand and the right side stand with the horizon is set to 45 ° or more and less than 90 °. In a cross section orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the angle between the straight line connecting the left end of the body support surface and the left end of the bottom surface of the left side stand and the bottom surface of the left side stand, and the angle of the angle formed by the bottom surface of the body support surface. The angle between the straight line connecting the right end and the right end of the bottom surface of the right side stand and the bottom surface of the right side stand is set to 30 ° to 60 °.

According to the above-mentioned posture holding table for pets, the left front leg of the pet is located on the left side of the central table and in front of the left side table, and the right front leg is located on the right side of the central table and in front of the right side table. Place the pet's torso on the center pedestal so that the left hind leg is located to the left of the center pedestal and behind the left side pedestal, and the right rear leg is located to the right of the center pedestal and behind the right side pedestal. By placing it on top, the pet can share part or all of its weight on the pet posture holding table while taking a standing position. Therefore, even a pet requiring long-term care can maintain a standing posture. When the pet leans to the left, the left side stand supports the weight of the pet, and when the pet leans to the right, the right side stand supports the weight of the pet. Therefore, the pet can easily maintain the standing posture. Further, since the posture holding table for pets has the above-mentioned configuration, it is unlikely to fall sideways. Therefore, even if the position of the pet on the central table is shifted to the left or right or the pet goes wild, the pet posture holding table is unlikely to fall sideways. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pet from tipping over.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the left side stand and the right side stand are connected to each other, and a connecting body is provided which is arranged on the body support surface of the central stand.

According to the above aspect, the left side base and the right side base are connected by a connecting body, and the connecting body is arranged on the body support surface of the central base. Therefore, when the body of the pet rests on the connecting body, the connecting body is sandwiched and fixed between the body of the pet and the body supporting surface. For example, when a pet is placed on a connecting body and puts weight on the left side, a large load toward the left may be applied to the left side stand. However, according to the above aspect, the left side base is not only supported by the bottom surface of the left side base, but also the leftward movement is restricted by the connecting body. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the left side base from tilting to the left. Also, when the pet's torso rests on the connector, the front and back movement of the left and right side pedestals is restricted. Pets can also rampage on the central platform. In that case, for example, the weight of the pet may be applied to the left side stand at the moment when the body of the pet separates from the connecting body. At this time, a large load toward the left may be applied to the left side stand in a state where the connecting body is not sandwiched between the body of the pet and the body support surface of the center stand. However, according to the above aspect, since the left side stand and the right side stand are connected by the connecting body, the load is applied not only to the left side stand but also to the right side stand. The load can be borne by both the left and right side pedestals. Therefore, as compared with the case where the left side stand and the right side stand are not connected by the connecting body, it is possible to effectively suppress the tilt of the left side stand and prevent the pet posture holding stand from tipping over. Can be done. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the pet from tipping over.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the left side stand, the right side stand, and the connecting body are slidably provided on the central stand in the front-rear direction.

According to the above aspect, unlike the case where the left side stand and the right side stand are integrated with the center stand or fixed to the center stand by a locking means such as a button or a hook, the left side with respect to the center stand. The front and rear positions of the pedestal, right side pedestal, and connecting body can be fine-tuned according to the physique of the pet. Therefore, the pet can take a standing posture more easily. Further, since the front and rear positions of the left side stand, the right side stand, and the connecting body can be set according to the physique of each pet, it is possible to more reliably prevent the pet posture holding stand from tipping over.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the outer surface of the left side table and the right side table are both inclined surfaces inclined from the vertical line.

According to the above aspect, the stability of the left side base and the right side base is improved. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the pet posture holding table from tipping over.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the left side stand and the right side stand have a cover and a cushion arranged inside the cover. The cover has a cover main body formed with an insertion port into which the cushion is inserted, and a cover lid that covers the insertion port so as to be openable and closable and forms the bottom surface of each side stand.

According to the above aspect, since the cushion is covered with the cover, it is possible to prevent the cushion from becoming dirty. Further, since the insertion port for inserting the cushion is covered with the cover lid so as to be openable and closable, the cushion can be easily taken in and out of the cover by opening the cover lid. Therefore, the cover can be easily cleaned and the cushion can be easily replaced. Here, the insertion port is provided at the bottom of the cover body, and the cover lid forms the bottom surface of the side stand. Therefore, the cover lid is arranged at a position where the pet cannot touch when the pet is placed on the posture holding table for the pet. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cover lid from being opened by the pet placed on the posture holding table for pets.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the cover has a fastener that connects the cover body and the cover lid.

According to the above aspect, the cover lid can be easily and surely opened and closed by the fastener. When a pet is placed on the pet posture holding table, the fastener is placed in a position where the pet cannot easily touch it, so that the pet placed on the pet posture holding table may scratch and damage the fastener. Can be prevented.

According to the present invention, a pet can be held in a standing position, and a posture holding table for a pet that does not easily fall sideways can be provided.

In the following description, for convenience, the directions indicated by the symbols F, Rr, L, R, U, and D in the drawing are forward, rear, left, right, upward, and downward, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 2, the posture holding table 1 for pets includes a central table 10, a left side table 30L, a right side table 30R, and a connecting band 40 connecting the left side table 30L and the right side table 30R. I have.

As shown in FIG. 3, the central table 10 is a table whose dimensions in the front-rear direction are larger than those in the left-right direction. The central base 10 has a head mounting portion 11 on which the pet's head is placed, a body mounting portion 12 on which the pet's torso is placed, and a buttocks mounting on which the pet's buttocks are placed. It has a part 13. The head mounting portion 11 is provided in front of the body mounting portion 12, and the buttock mounting portion 13 is provided behind the body mounting portion 12.

The specific shapes of the head mounting portion 11, the body mounting portion 12, and the buttock mounting portion 13 are not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, the lateral dimensions of the head mounting portion 11 are mounted on the body. It is larger than the left-right dimensions of the resting portion 12 and the buttocks resting portion 13. In the following, the dimension in the left-right direction is referred to as a width. The body portion mounting portion 12 includes a front portion 12A whose width increases toward the front in a plan view, and a rear portion 12B whose width is constant in a plan view. The width of the rear end of the head mounting portion 11 is larger than the width of the front end of the body mounting portion 12, and the width of the central base 10 is not between the head mounting portion 11 and the body mounting portion 12. It is changing continuously. On the other hand, the width of the rear end of the body mounting portion 12 is equal to the width of the front end of the buttock mounting portion 13, and the width of the center base 10 is constant between the body mounting portion 12 and the buttock mounting portion 13. It has become.

The upper surface of the front portion 12A of the body portion mounting portion 12 is formed of an inclined surface that goes downward toward the rear. The upper surface of the rear portion 12B of the body portion mounting portion 12 is formed in a plane shape parallel to the horizontal plane, and is a body portion support surface 12a that supports the body portion of the pet P. The upper surface of the buttock mounting portion 13 includes an inclined surface that goes upward toward the rear, and a plane that is located behind the inclined surface and is parallel to the horizontal plane. However, the above-mentioned shape of the central base 10 is only an example. The central base 10 may have another shape. For example, the upper surface of the front portion 12A of the body portion mounting portion 12 may be curved. A part of the upper surface of the buttock mounting portion 13 may be a curved surface. The upper surface of the central base 10 does not have to be formed in a shape in which the central side in the front-rear direction is recessed.

As shown in FIG. 6, the cover lid 51B constitutes a part of the bottom surface of the central base 10. The insertion port 51C is formed on the bottom surface of the central base 10. The cover body 51A and the cover lid 51B are separated at the edge of the insertion port 51C, and are connected at other portions. The virtual line 51E in FIG. 6 represents the boundary between the cover body 51A and the cover lid 51B.

As shown in FIG. 8, the left side stand 30L, the right side stand 30R, and the connecting band 40 form a side stopper 30 that supports the side portion of the pet P. The side stopper 30 is formed separately from the central base 10. The side stopper 30 is detachably attached to the central base 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting band 40 is placed on the body support surface 12a of the central base 10, the left side table 30L is arranged on the left side of the body support surface 12a, and the right side table 30R is placed on the body support surface 12a. By arranging the side stopper 30 on the right side of the center, the side stopper 30 can be easily attached to the central base 10. On the contrary, by lifting the side stopper 30, the side stopper 30 can be easily removed from the central base 10.

FIG. 9 is a front view of the side stopper 30. As shown in FIG. 9, the left side stand 30L and the right side stand 30R have symmetrical shapes. Therefore, in the following, the detailed configuration of the left side stand 30L will be described, and the description of the configuration of the right side stand 30R will be omitted.

The left side stand 30L has an upper surface 31, a lower surface 32, an outer surface 33, an inner surface 34, and an inner slope 35. The upper surface 31 and the lower surface 32 are planes parallel to the horizontal plane. The left side base 30L is formed in a tapered shape toward the upper side, and the area of the upper surface 31 is smaller than the area of the bottom surface 32. In the present embodiment, the outer surface 33 is inclined from the vertical line so as to go outward in the left-right direction toward the lower side. However, the outer surface 33 may be a vertical surface. Further, the outer surface 33 may include a vertical surface and an inclined surface inclined so as to move upward from the upper end of the vertical surface toward the central side in the left-right direction. The inner side surface 34 is a surface overlapped with the side surface of the central base 10, and is a vertical surface in the present embodiment. However, the inner side surface 34 may have a shape that matches the side surface of the central base 10, and for example, when the side surface of the central base 10 is a curved surface, it may be formed on a curved surface that matches the curved surface. The inner slope 35 is located above the inner side surface 34, and is a surface that supports the body of the pet together with the body support surface 12a of the central base 10. The inner slope 35 is an inclined surface inclined from the vertical straight line, and is inclined so as to go outward in the left-right direction toward the upper side.

As shown in FIG. 5, the left side stand 30L and the right side stand 30R have a cover 36 and a cushion 37 arranged inside the cover 36. Similar to the cover 51 of the central base 10, the material of the cover 36 is not particularly limited, and for example, urethane leather or the like can be preferably used. The material of the cushion 37 is not limited in any way, and for example, urethane foam or the like can be preferably used. In the present embodiment, the cushion 37 is formed of the same high-resilience urethane foam as the second cushion 62 of the central base 10.

FIG. 10 is a bottom view of the side stopper 30. The cover 36 includes a cover body 36A in which an insertion port 36C for inserting the cushion 37 is formed, a cover lid 36B that covers the insertion port 36C so as to be openable and closable, and a fastener 36D that connects the cover body 36A and the cover lid 36B. have. FIG. 11 is a bottom view of the side stopper 30 showing a state in which the fastener 36D of the left side stand 30L is opened halfway and a part of the cover lid 36B is folded back. In FIG. 11, the cushion 37 is hatched so that the insertion port 36C and the cover lid 36B can be easily understood. The cover body 36A covers the front surface, the rear surface, the upper surface, the outer surface, the inner side surface, and the inner slope of the cushion 37. The cover lid 36B constitutes a part of the bottom surface 32 (see FIG. 5) of the side bases 30L and 30R. The insertion port 36C is formed on the bottom surface of the side bases 30L and 30R. The cover lid 36B covers at least a part of the bottom surface of the cushion 37. The cover body 36A and the cover lid 36B are separated at the edge of the insertion port 36C, and are connected at other portions. The virtual line in FIG. 10 represents the boundary between the cover body 36A and the cover lid 36B.

In this embodiment, the connecting band 40 has flexibility. However, the connecting band 40 does not have to be flexible. As shown in FIG. 9, the left end of the connecting band 40 is connected to the boundary portion between the inner side surface 34 and the inner slope 35 in the left side stand 30L. The right end of the connecting band 40 is connected to the boundary portion between the inner side surface 34 and the inner slope 35 in the right side stand 30R. However, the position of the connecting portion between the connecting band 40 and the side stands 30L and 30R is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the connecting band 40 is made of the same material as the cover 36. As the material of the connecting band 40, for example, urethane leather or the like can be preferably used.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the width of the rear portion 12B of the body portion mounting portion 12 of the central base 10 is smaller than the vertical dimension of the rear portion 12B. The vertical dimensions of the inner side surfaces 34 of the side bases 30L and 30R are equal to the vertical dimensions of the body mounting portion 12. The width of the connecting band 40 is equal to the width W1 of the body support surface 12a. The vertical dimension H1 of the inner slopes 35 of the side bases 30L and 30R is ½ or more of the width W1 of the body support surface 12a.

As shown in FIG. 5, the angle θ1 of the angle formed by the inner slopes 35 of the side bases 30L and 30R with the horizontal line HL in the cross section orthogonal to the front-rear direction is set to 60 °. In the present specification, the angle of the angle formed by the two straight lines means the angle of the angle of 90 ° or less of the two angles formed by the two straight lines. The angle θ1 is not limited to 60 °, and may be any angle of 45 ° or more and less than 90 °. The angle θ1 may be any angle within the range of 50 ° to 70 °. Further, θ1 may be any angle within the range of 55 ° to 65 °.

Further, in a cross section orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the angle θ2 between the straight line L1 connecting the left end 12aL of the body support surface 12a and the left end 32L of the bottom surface 32 of the left side base 30L and the bottom surface 32 of the left side base 30L is , 53 °. Similarly, in a cross section orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the angle θ2 between the straight line L1 connecting the right end 12aR of the body support surface 12a and the right end 32R of the bottom surface 32 of the right side base 30R and the bottom surface 32 of the right side base 30R. Is set to 53 °. However, the angle θ2 is not limited to 53 °, and may be any angle within the range of, for example, 30 ° to 60 °. The angle θ2 may be any angle within the range of 38 ° to 53 °.

The above is the configuration of the pet posture holding table 1 according to the embodiment. The inventor of the present application has conducted a tilt overturning test for confirming the stability of the posture holding table for pets according to a plurality of embodiments including the above embodiment. Next, the tilt fall test will be described.

The tilt fall test was performed as follows. First, the posture holding table for pets is placed on a test table, and a weight simulating a pet is placed on the posture holding table for pets. Next, the test table is tilted sideways while measuring the tilt angle of the test table from the horizontal plane with a sensor. Then, it was visually observed whether or not the pet posture holding table would fall even if the inclination angle became a predetermined predetermined angle. From the experience of the inventor of the present application, it can be judged that a posture holding table for pets that does not tip over even when the inclination angle becomes 10 ° is sufficiently stable in practical use. Therefore, in the tilt fall test, the predetermined angle as an evaluation standard was set to 10 °.

By the way, the physique of pet P varies. For example, there are a plurality of types of pets P having different body weights. Therefore, in the tilt fall test, it was decided to use three types of weights simulating small dogs, medium-sized dogs, and large dogs. Specifically, a weight was used in which sand water was sealed in a cylindrical pipe with both ends closed. A weight simulating a small dog (hereinafter referred to as a small weight) has a diameter of 85 mm, an axial length of 250 mm, and a weight of about 4 kg. A weight simulating a medium-sized dog (hereinafter referred to as a medium-sized weight) has a diameter of 124 mm, an axial length of 400 mm, and a weight of about 14 kg. A weight simulating a large dog (hereinafter referred to as a large weight) has a diameter of 139 mm, an axial length of 500 mm, and a weight of about 26 kg.

As samples of the posture holding table for pets, S size, M size, and L size pet posture holding tables corresponding to small dogs, medium-sized dogs, and large dogs were prepared. In addition, there are a plurality of types of pets P having different leg lengths even if they have almost the same body weight. For example, there is a pet P with relatively short legs, such as a dachshund. Therefore, we decided to prepare a DM size and DL size pet posture holding table for medium-sized dogs with short legs and large dogs with short legs, respectively. The shapes and dimensions of the S size, DM size, M size, DL size, and L size pet posture holding tables are as shown in FIGS. 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, respectively. In addition, in FIGS. 12 to 16, numerical values other than the numerical values representing angles represent lengths, and their units are mm.

A small weight was used in the test of the S size pet posture holding table. Medium-sized weights were used in the DM and M size pet posture holding tables. Large weights were used in the DL and L size pet posture holding tables. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that all of the S size, DM size, M size, DL size, and L size pet posture holding tables did not tip over even when the inclination angle became 10 °.

As described above, according to the pet posture holding table 1 according to the embodiment, the left front leg of the pet P is located on the left side of the central table 10 and in front of the left side table 30L, and the right front leg is the central table. It is located to the right of 10 and in front of the right side stand 30R, the left rear leg is located to the left of the center stand 10 and behind the left side stand 30L, and the right rear leg is to the right and right of the center stand 10. By placing the body of the pet P on the central table 10 so as to be located behind the side table 30R, the pet P takes a standing posture and puts a part or all of the body weight on the pet posture holding table 1. You can play (see Fig. 1). Therefore, even the pet P requiring long-term care can maintain the standing posture. Further, according to the pet posture holding table 1, the left side table 30L supports the weight of the pet P when the pet tilts to the left, and the right side table 30R supports the weight of the pet P when the pet P tilts to the right. Therefore, the pet P can easily maintain the standing posture.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the pet posture holding table 1, the vertical dimension H1 of the inner slopes 35 of the left and right side tables 30L and 30R is 1 / of the horizontal dimension W1 of the body support surface 12a. 2 or more. In the cross section orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the angle θ1 of the angle formed by the inner slope 35 with the horizon HL is set to 45 ° or more and less than 90 °. In a cross section orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the angle θ2 between the straight line L1 connecting the left end 12aL of the body support surface 12a and the left end 32L of the bottom surface 32 of the left side base 30L and the bottom surface 32 of the left side base 30L is 30. It is set to ° to 60 °. In a cross section orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the angle θ2 between the straight line L1 connecting the right end 12aR of the body support surface 12a and the right end 32R of the bottom surface 32 of the right side base 30R and the bottom surface 32 of the right side base 30R is 30. It is set to ° to 60 °. Since it has such a configuration, the pet posture holding table 1 is unlikely to fall sideways. Therefore, even if the position of the pet P on the central table 10 is shifted to the left or right or the pet P goes wild, the pet posture holding table 1 is unlikely to fall sideways. Therefore, according to the pet posture holding table 1, it is possible to more reliably prevent the pet P from tipping over.

The left side stand 30L and the right side stand 30R may be separated, but in the above-described embodiment, the left side stand 30L and the right side stand 30R are connected by a connecting band 40, and the connecting band 40 is connected to the central stand 10. It is arranged on the body support surface 12a of the body. Therefore, when the body portion of the pet P is placed on the connecting band 40, the connecting band 40 is sandwiched and fixed between the body portion of the pet P and the body portion supporting surface 12a. For example, when the pet P is placed on the connecting band 40 and puts a weight on the left side, a large load toward the left may be applied to the left side stand 30L. However, the left side base 30L is not only supported by the bottom surface 32 of the left side base 30L, but the movement to the left is restricted by the connecting band 40. Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to effectively prevent the left side stand 30L from tilting to the left.
