Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The disclosure herein relates to a restraining bag that restrains and restricts the movement of a quadruped animal. [Background technology]

[0002] In order to safely examine, treat, trim, or groom quadruped animals such as cats and dogs, it is necessary to restrain the individual. Such quadruped animals instinctively try to avoid having their limbs restrained, and therefore resist restraint measures. In particular, cats and dogs, which are typical pets, generally have soft joints, making it difficult for the restrainer to maintain the restrained state by simply holding down their bodies with their hands.

[0003] In the past, various restraining bags have been proposed to stably maintain the restrained state. For example, a restraining bag for treating dogs and cats has been proposed in which tightening ropes are inserted into both ends of a cylindrical bag body and a fixing belt is provided in the approximate center of the bag body (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] In addition, a restraining bag for portable diagnostic procedures on pets has been proposed, which has holes of different sizes (diameters) at both ends of a bag-shaped material made of cloth and has drawstrings attached around each end (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0005] In addition, a restraining bag has been proposed which includes a body storage section having an internal space for storing the body of an animal, a head storage section having an internal space for storing the head of the animal which is connected to the internal space of the body storage section, a fixing device for fixing the neck of the animal to the connecting part, and an incision for exposing only a specific part of the animal fixed by the fixing device (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

[0006] In addition, a restraining bag has been proposed which holds a small animal such as a cat with its head exposed, has a section along the back of the small animal that can be opened and closed, has an internal fastener near the opening that exposes the head that can be wrapped directly around the small animal's neck, and also has a back belt that tightens the small animal's body from the outside (see, for example, Patent Document 4).

[0007] A restraining bag has been proposed which comprises an inner cloth material for directly wrapping the animal and an outer cloth material for further wrapping over the inner cloth material, the inner cloth material comprising a first cloth in a rectangular shape made of highly absorbent fabric and string material fixed to two points on the first cloth so that the length can be adjusted as needed, and the outer cloth material comprising a second cloth in a polygonal shape with a brushed surface, a third cloth and a fourth cloth in a rectangular shape fixed near the ends of two sides adjacent to one side of the second cloth, hook-and-loop fasteners fixed to the ends of the third cloth and the fourth cloth, and hook-and-loop fasteners fixed to other corners of the second cloth to which the third cloth and the fourth cloth are not fixed (see, for example, Patent Document 5).

[0008] Furthermore, a typical restraining bag that is actually on the market is one that has a cloth-like main body that is placed over the cat's back and all over its body, with a string to secure it around the neck, a ventral tie string to secure the main body from the outside when it is placed over the cat, and a zipper to close the main body into a bag shape at the back (for example, see non-patent document 1).

[0010] [Non-Patent Document 1] Rakuten, a specialty store for cat restraint bags, Hoks Family Rakuten Ichiba Store [Searched on August 26, 2023] Internet<URL:https: / / www.rakuten.co.jp / nekobukuro-hoks-family / > Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] Although the restraining bags of the above-mentioned conventional techniques are useful for maintaining the restrained state once the four-limbed animal is put on, there is room for improvement in the structure of the restraining bag. In all of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the attachment of the restraining bag requires the first step of covering the whole body of the four-limbed animal with the restraining bag body, and having the animal hide in the cylindrical restraining bag. At this time, the four-limbed animal senses that it is being restrained before the worker puts it on, so it tries to move its limbs to escape from the restraint. Therefore, the attachment of the above-mentioned conventional techniques usually requires at least two workers, one to restrain the movement of the four-limbed animal and one to put on the restraining bag.

[0012] If one person were to put the bag on, they would need to use both hands while holding down the animal's legs, which would make the job complicated. There was also a risk of contracting zoonotic diseases from bites or scratches caused by animals that resisted the bag being put on.

[0013] The disclosure in this specification is intended to resolve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a restraint bag having a structure that allows for smooth and easy attachment even by a single worker who attaches the bag. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the disclosure of the present specification includes a rectangular bag base cut to an area capable of surrounding the limbs and torso of a tetrapod; fasteners attached to the opposing long sides of the bag base, surrounding the limbs and torso with the bag base to form a tubular bag that can be opened and closed freely on the back of the quadruped animal; an engaging portion with which both ends of one short side of the bag body base can be engaged; a neck fixing portion that is opened at an upper end of the cylindrical bag body in the longitudinal direction by the engaging portion; A tail outlet opening at a lower end of the cylindrical bag in the longitudinal direction; A restraining bag is provided which has a belt-shaped body fixed at its longitudinal midpoint to the intermediate region of the upper surface of the bag base which constitutes the inner peripheral surface of the tubular bag body, and which traverses the short side of the bag base and annularly joins both ends of the longitudinal direction on the upper surface so that the circumference can be adjusted.

[0015] According to this configuration, since the cylindrical bag has a torso fixing portion on its inner peripheral surface, the bag base can be fixed to the torso fixing portion before covering the entire torso of the tetrapod.

[0016] The fastener may be attached with its lower end at the other short side opposite the short side on which the engagement portion is provided, and with its upper end at a position corresponding to the posterior part of the scapula of the torso when surrounded by the bag base, and with the fastener in a closed state from the lower end to the upper end, a slit portion is formed between the neck fixing portion and the upper end in the closed state to expose the back of the tetrapod.

[0017] According to this configuration, areas that require exposure of the individual (for example, a hole for an IV drip, a hole for removing the D-ring of a lead) are formed when the holding bag is attached. Effect of the Invention

[0018] The restraint bag of the present invention has the effect of enabling smooth and easy donning even by a single worker. [Brief description of the drawings]

Fig. 1 is a top view of the retention bag 1, Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the state in which the engagement part 131 of the retention bag 1 is open, and Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the retention bag 1. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the state in which the bag body base part 11 of the retention bag 1 is unfolded, Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the state in which one end side of the hook-and-loop fastener of the body fixing part 14 is removed with the bag body base part 11 of the retention bag 1 unfolded, and Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the state in which the opening of the tail removal part 16 of the retention bag 1 is narrowed by the cord stopper 161.

[0022] <Composition of the retention bag> The structure of the restraining bag 1 will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 6. The main body of the restraining bag 1 is formed by a rectangular bag base 11 cut to an area capable of enclosing the limbs and torso of a quadruped animal. A fastener 12 is attached to each of the opposing long sides of the rectangular bag base 11, which encloses the limbs and torso with the bag base 11 to form a tubular bag that can be opened and closed freely on the back of the quadruped animal. The quadruped animal is mainly a pet animal, typically a cat or a dog, whose torso and limbs are restrained by the restraining bag 1 for examination, treatment, trimming, grooming, etc.

[0023] The bag base 11 may be a sheet material having flexibility and pliability that can surround the limbs and torso to form the tubular bag. In addition, the material is not limited to a specific material, and a suitable material having properties such as breathability, durability, water repellency, and anti-allergy properties according to the intended use may be selected. For example, materials such as canvas, pile, nylon, linen, cotton, polyester, and microfiber fabric are suitable.

[0024] The fastener 12 may be any fastener capable of forming the rectangular bag base 11 on the tubular bag body. The fastener 12 in this embodiment is configured with a slide fastener having two elements attached to each of the long sides and arranged in parallel.

[0025] The fastener 12 in this embodiment is a one-way slide fastener, but may be a two-way slide fastener that can be opened and closed at any position (not shown). If the slide fastener is a two-way slide fastener, the slide fastener can be released and opened at any intermediate position while the top and bottom stops of the slide fastener are closed. If a two-way slide fastener is used, the back side behind the shoulder blades of the quadruped animal can be opened, so that it is useful, for example, when performing acupuncture treatment on the lower body or when using a harness with a D-ring relatively far back. The fastener 12 may be any fastener that can connect the opposing long sides of the bag base 11 and maintain the shape of the tubular bag, and may be a button or a hook-and-loop fastener attached to the long side in addition to the slide fastener.

[0026] In this embodiment, fastener 12 has an anti-entanglement piece 121 attached to one of the two elements with the same length as the element at a position interposed between the element and the back of the quadruped animal surrounded by bag base 11. Anti-entanglement piece 121, together with torso fixing part 14 described later, makes it possible to prevent the back hair of the quadruped animal from getting caught when opening and closing the slide fastener.

[0027] Both ends of one short side of the rectangular bag base 11 have engageable engagement portions 131. In this embodiment, engagement portion 131 is composed of an engagement tongue piece 131A extending from one end of one short side and an engagement other end portion 131B (see FIG. 2). In this embodiment, a hook and loop fastener is disposed on each of engagement tongue piece 131A and engagement other end portion 131B on the surfaces that face each other when the tubular bag is formed. However, as long as engagement tongue piece 131A and engagement other end portion 131B are engageable with each other, an engagement member other than the hook and loop fastener may be used.

[0028] By engaging the engaging tongue 131A with the other engaging end 131B, an opening is formed at the upper end in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical bag body. The circumference of this opening is variably determined by the engagement position of the engaging tongue 131A with the other engaging end 131B. That is, since the hook-and-loop fastener is disposed on the entire area of ​​the opposing surface of the engaging tongue 131A and a predetermined range of the opposing surface of the other engaging end 131B, the engagement position can be arbitrarily determined within a certain range. The opening becomes the neck fixing part 13 of the quadruped animal as described later. Since the length of the neck circumference of the quadruped animal varies from individual to individual, the circumference can be adjusted to fit the neck circumference of the quadruped animal by adjusting the engagement position according to the individual wearing the restraining bag 1.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, pleats 132 are formed between the engaging tongue piece 131A and the other engaging end 131B to allow the circumference of the neck fixing part 13 to be stretched or contracted. The pleats 132 may be formed by, for example, shearing using an elastic band to generate gathers.

[0030] Since one of the short sides is sewn and shrunk to form a pleat portion 132, the length of the short side is shorter than the other short side opposite to the one short side, and the rectangular bag base 11 becomes trapezoidal in the expanded state before being formed into the tubular bag.

[0031] The neck fixing part 13 enables stable fixation of the neck by the engagement part 131 and the pleats 132. The elastic pleats 132 allow the opening to be adjusted to a circumference that roughly fits around the neck of the quadruped animal when the tubular bag is formed. In addition, the engagement position is determined by the engagement part 131, and the adhesion around the neck can be further improved. In other words, the double tightening action of the engagement part 131 and the pleats 132 ensures that the neck of the neck fixing part 13 is fixed securely, preventing the neck of the quadruped animal from slipping out of the restraining bag 1, and enabling stable restraint.

[0032] The opening at the lower end opposite the opening at the upper end in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical bag that becomes the neck fixing part 13 becomes the tail removal part 16. In this embodiment, the tail removal part 16 is composed of an insertion part 162 formed over the entire length of the other short side, a string 163 inserted into the insertion part 162, a pull-out hole 164 for the string 163 formed in the insertion part 162, and a cord stopper 161 through which the string 163 pulled out in two strands from the pull-out hole 164 is inserted and which stops it at any position (see FIG. 3).

[0033] The insertion portion 162 may be formed, for example, by folding back the other short side and sewing it so that an insertion path for the string 163 is formed in the circumferential direction of the opening at the lower end when the tubular bag is formed. The string 163 may be, for example, a drawstring, a round string, a braided string, or an elastic rubber string.

[0034] In the tail outlet portion 16 in this embodiment, the opening is configured in a drawstring shape due to the above-mentioned configuration, and the circumference of the tail outlet portion 16 can be freely adjusted by the cord stopper 161 (see Figure 6).

[0035] As described above, the neck fixing part 13 formed at the opening at the upper end of the cylindrical bag is configured to be fixed in close contact with the neck area by the engagement part 131 and the pleats 132, while the tail outlet part 16 formed at the opening at the lower end of the cylindrical bag is configured to be freely adjustable in circumference. In order to stably hold the quadruped animal using the holding bag 1, it is essential to fix the neck area and the torso area described below, but the tail area does not necessarily have to be fixed. Rather, some individuals may dislike the fixation of the tail area and become unable to stay still, which may hinder stable holding. Therefore, in order to allow the quadruped animal to adapt to the holding condition while observing the reaction of each individual individual to the holding, the narrowing of the opening of the tail outlet part 16 (fixing action) is configured as described above differently from the neck fixing part 13.

[0036] The bag base 11 has a trunk fixing part 14 in a middle region of the upper surface constituting the inner circumferential surface 112 of the cylindrical bag. In this embodiment, the trunk fixing part 14 forms a band, and is fixed to the middle region of the bag base 11 at a sewn part 142 which is the middle part in the longitudinal direction of the band (see FIG. 3). However, the fixing method is not limited to sewing, and may be a seamless fixing method such as heat pressing or hook-and-loop fastener.

[0037] The band-like body secured at the sewn portion 142 is oriented across the rectangular bag base 11 in the short direction, and both longitudinal ends of the band-like body can be annularly joined on the upper surface constituting the inner peripheral surface 112 so that the circumferential length can be adjusted. In order to annularly join the band-like body, both longitudinal ends of the band-like body have annular joining portions 141 (hook and loop fasteners in this embodiment) (see FIG. 5). That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a hook and loop fastener is attached to the opposite surface of each of both ends of the band-like body before the annular joining. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, when each of the both ends is rotated in the opposite direction, the surfaces to which the hook and loop fasteners are attached face each other, and the band-like body can be annularly joined by the hook and loop fasteners.

[0038] As described below, the torso fixing portion 14 can be annularly joined around the torso of the tetrapod before the bag base 11 surrounds the entire body of the tetrapod, thereby allowing the restraint bag 1 to be easily and stably attached to the tetrapod.

[0039] As described above, the torso fixing part 14 fixes the torso and, together with the anti-entanglement piece 121 of the fastener 12, also has a function of preventing the entanglement of the back hair of the quadruped animal. Generally, in quadruped animals, the outer circumference of the torso (chest) of the upper body is larger than that of the waist of the lower body. Therefore, the fastener 12 (slide fastener) is more difficult to close and more likely to entangle the back hair around the chest than around the waist. Since the anti-entanglement piece 121 is attached to one of the elements, when the slide fastener is pulled up in the closing direction, the back hair may be exposed between the two elements in the vicinity of the chest until the element on the side to which the anti-entanglement piece 121 is attached engages with the element on the side to which the anti-entanglement piece 121 is not attached. Therefore, if the body fixing part 14 is joined in a ring shape before closing the fastener 12, the body fixing part 14 will be bridged over the back hair between the two parallel arranged elements, covering the back hair and completely preventing the back hair from getting caught.

[0040] In this embodiment, the fastener 12 is attached with the other short side opposite to the short side on which the engaging portion 131 is provided as the lower end, and with the position corresponding to the posterior part of the scapula when the bag base 11 surrounds the quadruped animal as the upper end. Therefore, when the fastener 12 is closed from the lower end to the upper end and engaged with the engaging portion 131 to form the cylindrical bag, a slit portion 15 that allows the back of the quadruped animal to be exposed is formed between the neck fixing portion 13 and the upper end of the fastener 12 in the closed state. The slit portion 15 is useful when attaching the restraining bag 1 to the quadruped animal and administering subcutaneous drip to the back near the scapula, connecting a lead to a collar, harness, etc.

[0041] <First Modification> Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a first modified example of the retaining bag 1 described in Fig. 1 to Fig. 6. In the first modified example, instead of the sewn part 142 that fastens the torso fixing part 14, a linear detachable part 144 is provided over the entire longitudinal length of the intermediate region of the bag base 11. The torso fixing part 14 has a through hole 145 on the surface of the band-shaped body facing the detachable part 144, which passes through a shielding piece 143 of the same size as the detachable part 144 and allows the band-shaped body to slide in the longitudinal direction.

[0042] Through hole 145 has a fastening surface that can be fastened at any position of detachable portion 144, and shielding piece 143 shields the detachable surface of detachable portion 144 other than the portion fastened by fastening surface 146. The detachable surface of detachable portion 144, the fastening surface of through hole 145, and the shielding surface of shielding piece 143 may be provided with hook-and-loop fasteners, for example.

[0043] According to the configuration of the first modified example, the fixing position of the torso fixing part 14 can be changed within the range of the longitudinal direction of the detachable part 144. Although the torso lengths of the quadruped animals held in the holding bag 1 vary from one another, this configuration allows the torso fixing part 14 to be set at an optimal position that differs for each individual. Here, the optimal position is, for example, a position where the back of the quadruped animal near the shoulder blades is not hidden by the torso fixing part 14 when administering subcutaneous infusion through the slit part 15.

[0044] The shielding piece 143 is provided to prevent the hook and loop fastener that constitutes the detachable surface from being exposed when a quadruped animal is held in the holding bag 1. If the hook and loop fastener becomes soiled with the animal's hair, its adhesive strength will decrease, and if the hook and loop fastener comes into direct contact with the delicate abdomen where the skin of the quadruped animal is exposed, it may injure the skin. Therefore, the detachable surface other than the area that is adhered to the fixed surface is shielded by the shielding piece 143.

[0045] <Second Modification> Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a second modified example of the retaining bag 1 described in Fig. 1 to Fig. 6. The second modified example has a blocking piece 151 that blocks the slit portion 15. The blocking piece 151 is formed adjacent to or continuous with the engaging tongue piece 131A and may be any rectangular piece that blocks the entire length of the slit portion 15.

[0046] In the second modified example, the blocking piece 151 has a fastening portion 152 at its lower end in the longitudinal direction parallel to the slit portion 15. The fastening portion 152 may be formed by attaching a hook-and-loop fastener to the outer peripheral surface 111 of the bag body base 11 facing the blocking piece 151 when the blocking piece 151 blocks the slit portion 15. The upper end of the blocking piece 151 is integrally (continuously) formed with the engaging tongue piece 131A of the engaging portion 131. The engaging portion 131 may be formed as an independent separate body with the engaging tongue piece 131A as in the retaining bag 1 described in Figs. 1 to 6, and the upper end of the blocking piece 151 may be provided with a fastening portion (hook-and-loop fastener) similar to the fastening portion 152 formed at the lower end.

[0047] The blocking piece 151 can be used to protect the protruding winged needle from the outside when administering subcutaneous infusion through the slit portion 15. Also, it can be used to block the slit portion 15 when the purpose of holding with the holding bag 1 is not to use the slit portion 15.

[0048] <Third Modification> Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a third modified example of the restraining bag 1 described in Figs. 1 to 6. In the third modified example, an opening and closing hole 17 for removing one or both of the forelimbs and for collecting urine is provided in a tubular bag surrounding the quadruped animal. That is, the opening and closing hole 17 is provided in a total of three places, two on either side of the sewn part 142 of the torso fixing part 14 on the forelimb side, and one on the lower abdomen where urine can be collected. The opening and closing hole 17 in Fig. 9 is configured with a slide fastener, but it is not intended to be limited to a slide fastener as long as it can be opened and closed.

[0049] After the quadruped animal is held in the holding bag 1, for example, when intravenous drip or blood sampling is performed, the opening and closing hole 17 on the front leg side can be opened to remove the front leg. For example, when urine is collected by catheter, the opening and closing hole 17 on the urine collection side can be opened to insert the catheter. In addition, the opening and closing hole 17 can be used not only for medical purposes but also for removing the front leg when clipping the nails of the front leg.

[0050] In Figure 9, all three slide fasteners are attached so that they can be opened and closed in the longitudinal direction of the retention bag 1 (vertical direction as viewed in the drawing), but they may also be attached so that they can be opened and closed in the short direction of the retention bag 1 (horizontal direction as viewed in the drawing) (not shown).

[0051] <Fourth Modification> Figure 9 is a diagram showing a fourth modified example of the restraint bag 1 described in Figures 1 to 6. In the fourth modified example, a tubular bag body surrounding the quadruped animal is provided with an extraction hole 18 through which the limbs can be extracted.

[0052] The restraint of the quadruped animal is basically performed by restraining the limbs, but when a human such as a practitioner or owner tries to restrain the animal with their hands, there is a high possibility that the contact will be made with the fingertips or other points. In the case of point contact, the pressure applied to the body of the quadruped animal at each point of the fingertip becomes strong, and a reaction to aggressive pressure, that is, a defensive instinct of hostile behavior, is activated. As a result, the animal often moves its limbs violently in an attempt to escape the point contact with the fingertips, making stable restraint difficult. On the other hand, when the animal is restrained with a cloth or towel, the contact with the body is made with a surface, and the pressure on the body is dispersed compared to restraint with the human hand (fingers), so the defensive instinct of hostile behavior is weakened, and it is relatively easy to suppress the movement and to restrain the animal stably.

[0053] Therefore, even if the fourth modified example has the limb removal holes 18, restraint is possible. In particular, the restraint bag 1 having the removal holes 18 is useful when clipping the nails of the limbs, when temporarily restraining the animal for intravenous drip, or when used as postoperative clothing to prevent the animal from licking wounds (including surgical scars) on the body.

[0054] <How to wear the restraint bag> A method of wearing the restraining bag 1 will be described below with reference to Figures 11 to 14. A cat C will be used as an example of a four-legged animal.

[0055] As shown in Fig. 11, with the rectangular (trapezoid) bag base 11 and the belt-shaped body fixing part 14 deployed, cat C is placed approximately at the center of the inner peripheral surface 112 of the bag base 11. At this time, the cat may be sitting in any way, such as the so-called box sitting, sphinx sitting, Egyptian sitting, etc. Since there is no need to force the cat C to sit in a certain way during the preparation stage for putting on the restraining bag 1, it is possible to ease the cat C's wariness and make the work of putting on the restraining bag 1 easier.

[0056] Next, as shown in Fig. 12, both ends of the torso fixing part 14 are wrapped around the torso of cat C in opposite directions and annularly joined by annular joint 141 (hook and loop fastener). Even at this stage, the band-shaped body with the width of the torso fixing part 14 is only in surface contact with the torso of cat C, so cat C does not feel restrained and hardly resists. Conventional restraining bags are configured to first surround the quadruped animal so as to restrain the entire torso, and then fasten the outside of the restraining bag with a fixing belt, so that the quadruped animal becomes wary before the bag is put on and often struggles to escape from the restraint, and the putting on operation requires two people, in addition to the person putting it on, and a person to hold down the quadruped animal. As described above, the restraining bag 1 disclosed in this embodiment has at least the torso fixing part 14 fixed to the inner circumferential surface 112 of the bag base 11, so that before the bag base 11 encloses the entire torso of the cat C, the torso fixing part 14 can fix the cat C to the bag base 11 without resistance from the cat C. In other words, the wearer can easily restrain the cat C by himself.

[0057] Next, the fastener 12 consisting of a slide fastener is closed from the tail outlet 16 side toward the neck fixing part 13, so that the bag base 11 gradually encloses the limbs and torso of the cat C from the lower body side.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 13, the slide fastener is closed to the lower end of the slit portion 15 (i.e., the end of the slide fastener), and the engagement portion 131 and the pleat portion 132 are adjusted so that the neck of cat C is stably and tightly fixed by the neck fixing portion 13.

[0059] Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the cord stopper 161 of the tail outlet 16 is used to tighten the area around the tail of the cat C to hold it in place, if necessary.

[0060] In addition, Fig. 14 shows cat C in the so-called Egyptian sitting position (sitting with front legs standing and hind legs sitting) inside the restraining bag 1. The preference for a comfortable posture inside the restraining bag 1 differs from individual to individual. Therefore, the bag base 11 may be measured to have a width H of a cylindrical bag that forms an internal space capable of accommodating the quadruped animal in an upright position. If cat C can be comfortably accommodated in the upright position, it can also be accommodated in a sitting position, so that each individual can be restrained according to its preference for a comfortable posture.
