Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically a pet self-entertainment toy. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some pet self-entertainment toys have appeared on the market. These toys usually do not require human intervention; pets will play with them on their own. The main principle is that the pet's actions create feedback on the toy itself. This feedback can be expressed through light and sound, or through the toy's deformation. The proposed solution is a toy designed by the applicant based on the characteristics of pets, especially cats, who enjoy pouncing and digging. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pet self-entertainment toy to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pet self-entertainment toy, comprising a cylindrical structure made of fabric;

[0005] The cylindrical structure comprises four integrally connected sections along its length: an exposed section, an internal section, a folding section, and a storage section.

[0006] A pull rope is connected in the middle of the connection between the folding section and the inner section. The end of the pull rope is connected to a pulling part, which is exposed or partially exposed outside the storage section.

[0007] The cylindrical structure has two states: an expanded state and a contracted state.

[0008] In the unfolded state, the four segments are connected sequentially;

[0009] In the contracted state, the folded section and the inner section are pulled downwards by the pull rope and the pulling part and enter the inner cavity of the storage section. The storage section is then fitted upwards around the outer periphery of the inner section.

[0010] Preferably, the length of the storage section is greater than or equal to the length of the folding section, and the length of the folding section is greater than or equal to the length of the concealed section.

[0011] Preferably, the pulling part is a spherical structure, and when the cylindrical structure is in the unfolded state, the pulling part is exposed or partially exposed at the bottom of the storage section.

[0012] Preferably, the cylindrical structure is cylindrical.

[0013] Preferably, the outer periphery of the storage section is covered with a decorative drape.

[0014] Preferably, the exposed and concealed sections are solid structures, while the folded and storage sections are hollow structures.

[0015] Preferably, the exposed section and the concealed section are provided with filling material, including but not limited to cotton, cat herbs or whistling.

[0016] Preferably, the fabric of the folding section and the storage section is inlaid with crinkle paper.

[0017] Preferably, the pulling part is provided with filling material, including but not limited to cotton, catnip, or bell.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the toy body designed by this utility model is a foldable cylindrical structure. By the pet's pounce, kick, and pull, the cylindrical structure can switch between contraction and expansion, forming a good interactive relationship with the pet and increasing the pet's interest in playing. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the unfolded state of this utility model;

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the folded state of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a pet self-entertainment toy: including a cylindrical structure made of fabric; the cylindrical structure is a cylindrical structure.

[0023] The cylindrical structure comprises four integrally connected sections along its length: an exposed section 1, an inner section 2, a folding section 3, and a storage section 4; the length of the storage section 4 is greater than or equal to the length of the folding section 3, and the length of the folding section 3 is greater than or equal to the length of the inner section 2. The exposed section 1 and the inner section 2 are solid structures, while the folding section 3 and the storage section 4 are hollow structures.

[0024] A pull rope is connected in the middle of the connection between the folding section 3 and the inner section 2. The end of the pull rope is connected to a pulling part 6, which is exposed or partially exposed outside the storage section 4.

[0025] The cylindrical structure has two states: an expanded state and a contracted state.

[0026] In the unfolded state, the four sections are connected in sequence; the pulling part 6 is a spherical structure, and when the cylindrical structure is unfolded, the pulling part 6 is exposed or partially exposed at the bottom of the storage section 4.

[0027] In the contracted state, the folding section 3 is pulled downward by the pull rope and the pulling part 6 and folds into the inner cavity of the storage section 4. The storage section 4 is fitted upward to the outer periphery of the inner section 2.

[0028] When a pet, such as a cat, is playing, in the unfolded state, the small ball on the pulling part 6 pulls the folded section 3 downwards into the storage section 4. While continuing to pull downwards, the storage section 4 covers the inner section 2, forming... Figure 2 In its retracted state, the pet's front paws hold the exposed section 1, while its hind legs grip the retracted section 4. The pet then unfolds the toy by kicking its legs. This allows the pet to independently unfold and retract the toy, increasing its enjoyment and engagement.

[0029] To further enhance the pet's interest in playing, the exposed section 1 and the concealed section 2 are filled with stuffing, including but not limited to cotton, catnip, or jingling. The fabric of the folding section 3 and the storage section 4 is inlaid with crinkle paper. The pull section 6 is filled with stuffing, including but not limited to cotton, catnip, or a bell.

[0030] To enhance the toy's decorative appeal, the exposed section 1 is designed to resemble an animal's head, while the concealed section 2, folding section 3, and storage section 4 are designed to resemble an animal's body. The outer perimeter of the storage section 4 is covered with a decorative fabric 5.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
