Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pet supplies, and in particular to pet shoes. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of pet ownership, the demand for pet supplies is growing, and pet shoes, as a product to protect pets' feet, are receiving more and more attention from pet owners. Currently, most pet shoes on the market are made of fabric, which, while offering some softness and comfort, presents several problems in practical use. For example, fabric pet shoes are prone to slipping off during wear, especially when pets are active or engaging in vigorous exercise, making it difficult for the shoes to stay securely on their feet. Furthermore, pets' nails are sharp and can easily pierce the fabric upper, causing damage and affecting the shoe's lifespan and practicality. These problems not only reduce the functionality of pet shoes but also cause inconvenience to pet owners. Therefore, there is an urgent need for pet shoes that can solve these problems, improving their durability, stability, and protective performance to meet the needs of pets' daily activities. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide pet shoes to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A pet shoe includes a shoe body and an auxiliary collar. The shoe body is made of an elastic material, specifically a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which has good flexibility and tear resistance. The shoe body further includes an integrally molded shoe neck, shoe body, and cuff. The shoe neck and shoe body are connected by a smooth transition to avoid discomfort to the pet's legs during wear. Specifically, the bottom of the shoe body has an integrally molded anti-slip sole plate with multiple regularly arranged anti-slip grooves on its surface to increase the friction between the sole and the ground.

[0006] Furthermore, to address the issue of pet shoes easily slipping off during use, a multi-layered annular anti-loosening pleated structure is incorporated into the inner wall of the shoe neck. This anti-loosening pleated structure is evenly distributed along the inner wall of the shoe neck. Through this design, a tight fit is formed between the inner wall of the shoe neck and the base of the pet's lower leg, significantly increasing friction and preventing the shoe from slipping or slipping off during movement.

[0007] Specifically, the forefoot of the shoe features a cushioning section made of the same elastic material as the shoe body, with a thickness of 3 to 5 millimeters. The outer surface of the cushioning section is curved and raised to distribute the pressure exerted by the pet's toes during movement, while preventing punctures caused by sharp nails. An embedded fiber reinforcement layer, woven from high-density polyethylene fibers, further enhances the puncture resistance of the forefoot.

[0008] Furthermore, to facilitate the smooth insertion of a pet's foot into the shoe, this invention provides a rigid collar as an auxiliary tool. The collar's outline is adapted to the shape of the shoe's cuff, with its diameter slightly larger than the cuff's diameter, specifically between 1.2 and 1.5 times the cuff's diameter. During use, the cuff of the shoe is first placed over the collar, and the collar's rigid support keeps the cuff in an expanded state, allowing the pet's foot to quickly slip into the shoe. The user can then remove the collar from the cuff, and the shoe returns to its original shape due to its elasticity, completing the wearing process. Furthermore, the TPE material has excellent resilience and is not easily deformed even after prolonged wear.

[0009] Furthermore, in another embodiment, to improve the breathability of the pet shoe, multiple ventilation holes are provided on the top surface of the shoe body. These ventilation holes are circular. The number of ventilation holes is adjusted according to the size of the shoe body, but the total area of ​​the holes must not exceed 10% of the shoe body's surface area to maintain the overall strength and waterproof performance of the shoe body. In addition, the inner wall of the ventilation holes is coated with a hydrophobic coating to prevent moisture from seeping into the shoe body through the ventilation holes.

[0010] Specifically, the shoe body is manufactured using injection molding technology to ensure seamless integration and structural stability of all components. During injection molding, the elastic material of the shoe body is melted at high temperature and injected into the mold cavity, where it cools and solidifies to form the final product. To further enhance the durability of the shoe body, appropriate amounts of antioxidants and UV stabilizers are added to the elastic material before injection molding, enabling the shoe body to resist the effects of aging and UV radiation during long-term outdoor use.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] By combining elastic materials with rigid collars, this design solves the problem of pet shoes being difficult to secure during wear. The multi-layered anti-loosening pleated structure increases friction between the shoe neck and the pet's leg, effectively preventing the shoes from slipping off during exercise. The inclusion of a cushioning section at the front of the shoe significantly improves its puncture resistance. Similar to a sock, its excellent elasticity allows it to fit snugly on a dog's paws like a sock. Compared to existing mesh dog shoes on the market, our shoes will not slip off during extended walking, and their position will not shift significantly. In summary, the pet shoes provided by this invention are convenient to wear, durable, and comfortable, suitable for the daily activity needs of various pets. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0023] A type of pet shoe, combined with accessories Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. The pet shoe includes a shoe body and a collar 7. The shoe body is made of an elastic material, specifically thermoplastic polyurethane (TPE), which has good flexibility and tear resistance, meeting the needs of pets during exercise. The shoe body further includes an integrally molded shoe neck 6, shoe body 3, and cuff 4. These components are manufactured using injection molding technology to ensure the integrated connection and stability of the overall structure.

[0024] The shoe neck 6 and the shoe body 3 feature a smooth transition design, avoiding discomfort to the pet's legs due to abrupt structural changes during actual use. The inner wall of the shoe neck 6 is equipped with a multi-layered annular anti-loosening pleat structure 5, evenly distributed along the inner wall of the shoe neck 6. Each pleat is 0.5 mm to 1 mm thick, and the spacing between adjacent pleats is 2 mm to 3 mm. This design significantly enhances the friction between the shoe neck 6 and the base of the pet's lower leg, effectively preventing the shoe from slipping or falling off during movement. The bottom of the shoe body 3 is integrally molded into an anti-slip sole 2. The surface of the anti-slip sole 2 has multiple regularly arranged anti-slip grooves. These grooves increase the roughness of the contact surface, improving the friction between the sole and the ground, ensuring the pet is less prone to slipping while walking. The depth of the anti-slip grooves is 1 mm to 2 mm, the width is 2 mm to 3 mm, and the shape is rectangular or wavy to adapt to different ground conditions.

[0025] The front of the shoe upper 3 features a cushioning section 1, also made of TPE material, but thicker than the upper, ranging from 3mm to 5mm in thickness. The outer surface of the cushioning section 1 is curved and raised to distribute pressure from the pet's toes during exercise, preventing punctures to the upper 3 due to sharp nails. An embedded fiber reinforcement layer, woven from high-density polyethylene fibers, further enhances the puncture resistance of the front of the upper 3. This fiber reinforcement layer is fixed to the cushioning section 1 using a heat-pressing process, ensuring it won't shift or fall off during long-term use. To further enhance tear resistance, the sole of the dog shoe is thickened, approximately 3mm thicker than the cuff, making it less prone to wear.

[0026] To facilitate the easy insertion of a pet's foot into the shoe, this invention provides a rigid collar 7 as an auxiliary tool. The outline of the collar 7 is adapted to the shape of the narrow opening 4 of the shoe body, and its diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the narrow opening 4, specifically between 1.2 and 1.5 times the diameter of the narrow opening 4. In actual operation, the narrow opening 4 of the shoe body is first placed over the collar 7. The rigid support of the collar 7 keeps the narrow opening 4 in an expanded state, thus facilitating the quick insertion of the pet's foot into the shoe body. Subsequently, the user can remove the collar 7 from the narrow opening 4, and the shoe body will return to its original shape due to its own elasticity, completing the wearing operation. The collar 7 is made of hard plastic, such as polypropylene or polycarbonate, and its surface is frosted to increase friction and facilitate gripping.

[0027] In another embodiment, to improve the breathability of the pet shoe, multiple ventilation holes are formed on the top surface of the shoe body 3. The ventilation holes are circular, with a diameter of 2 to 3 millimeters, and the distance between the centers of the holes is 5 to 8 millimeters. The number of ventilation holes is adjusted according to the size of the shoe body 3 to maintain the overall strength and waterproof performance of the shoe body 3. A hydrophobic coating, which can be made of fluorine-free waterproof coating (PFAS-FREE), is coated with a thickness of 0.1 millimeters to prevent moisture from seeping into the shoe body through the ventilation holes. The hydrophobic coating is evenly applied to the inner wall of the ventilation holes using a spraying process and cured at high temperature to form a stable film.

[0028] The shoe body is manufactured using injection molding technology. The design of the injection mold fully considers the integrated connection requirements of each component, ensuring that the shoe neck 6, shoe body 3 and cuff 4 are seamlessly connected during the molding process.

[0029] In actual use, the pet owner first installs the loop 7 on the cuff 4 of the shoe body. At this time, the cuff 4 remains expanded due to the rigid support of the loop 7. Next, the pet's foot is passed over the loop 7 until it is completely inside the shoe body. Then, the loop 7 is pulled upwards away from the cuff 4, and the shoe body returns to its original shape due to its own elasticity, closely fitting the pet's foot. At this time, the anti-loosening pleat 5 structure on the inner wall of the shoe neck 6 forms a tight fit with the pet's lower leg, preventing the shoe from falling off during exercise. During the pet's walking, the anti-slip sole 2 on the bottom of the shoe body 3 forms stable friction with the ground through its anti-slip grooves, ensuring that the shoe maintains good grip performance on wet and slippery surfaces. The cushioning part 1 at the front of the shoe body 3 disperses toe pressure through its arc-shaped protrusion design, while the internal fiber reinforcement layer effectively prevents the shoe body 3 from being punctured by the pet's nails.

[0030] When cleaning the shoe body, due to the excellent water resistance and easy cleaning properties of TPE material, the surface of the shoe body can be directly rinsed with water and then air-dried. The ventilation holes at the top of the shoe body will not accumulate water during cleaning because the hydrophobic coating effectively prevents moisture from penetrating the shoe body. Furthermore, if minor wear occurs after long-term use, the lifespan of the shoe body can be extended through localized repairs. For example, TPE repair glue can be applied to the worn areas, and the integrity of the shoe body will be restored after the glue cures.

[0031] In summary, the pet shoe provided by this utility model solves the problem of difficulty in securing pet shoes during wear through a design combining elastic materials and a rigid collar 7. The multi-layered anti-loosening pleat structure 5 increases the friction between the shoe neck 6 and the pet's leg, effectively preventing the shoe from falling off during exercise. The wrapping cushioning part 1 and fiber reinforcement layer at the front of the shoe body 3 significantly improve the puncture resistance of the shoe body 3, extending its service life. The optimized ventilation hole layout and surface treatment process ensure both breathability and waterproof performance. This utility model is suitable for the daily activity needs of various pets, especially those that require frequent outdoor activities. (See attached...)

For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
