[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a pet waste collection bag attachment for attaching a pet waste collection bag. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, when taking a walk with a pet and disposing of the pet's waste, it was troublesome to carry around paper, bags, tools, etc. for picking up the pet's waste. In addition, in rainy weather, it was uncomfortable and difficult to pick up the waste while holding an umbrella in one hand. Therefore, several attachment devices for pet waste storage bags have been devised. The attachment device for pet waste storage bags in Patent Document 1 has a linear object extending from three points from the tail position, which is passed over to the attachment device at the neck and fixed to the attachment device. The attachment device for pet waste storage bags in Patent Document 2 has a single belt-like object wrapped around the pet's hind legs, crossed over, and fastened at one point on the waist, with the extended tip connected to the attachment device. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-62698 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-66470 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] In the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the contact points between the pet's body and the linear object are unstable at three points (one point on the upper back and two points on both sides), and depending on the pet's movements, it may easily slip out of place. Also, in Patent Document 2, a single belt-like object is wrapped around the pet's body and crossed over it, so there are few points of contact between the pet's body and the belt, making it unstable.
[0005] The above two attachments were unstable depending on the pet's physique and movements. In addition, it was difficult to attach them. In view of this problem, the present invention provides an attachment for a pet waste collection bag that is particularly stable. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The present invention is a mounting device for a pet waste storage bag, comprising a dorsal fixing part and a ventral fixing part, the dorsal fixing part directly or indirectly holds the waste storage bag on the dorsal side, and is provided with a hole for passing a tail and a dorsal acting part through which a force is applied to restrict the dorsal fixing part from moving toward the rear end, and the ventral fixing part directly or indirectly holds the waste storage bag on the ventral side, and is provided with a ventral acting part through which a force is applied to restrict the ventral fixing part from moving toward the rear end.
[0007] In addition, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rear end of the back-side fixing part is formed of at least two belts, and the hole is between the belts.
[0008] Furthermore, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the back-side fixing portion includes a planar backrest, and the restricting portion includes at least two fixing devices attached to a front end of the backrest. Effect of the Invention
[0009] The waste storage bag is connected to the dorsal and ventral fixing parts. A force is applied to the dorsal fixing portion to restrict movement toward the rump, and a force is applied to the ventral fixing portion to restrict movement toward the rump. With this configuration, the excrement collection bag is positioned by the ventral side fixing part and the dorsal side fixing part, and can be stably attached.
[0010] Next, the rear end of the dorsal fixed part connected to the opening of the waste storage bag is made up of two belts, and a hole through which the tail can be passed can be easily made in the space.
[0011] The backrest of the backside fixing part is provided with a function to prevent the backrest from slipping due to the movement of the pet. Furthermore, the fastener provided at the front end of the backrest is fixed to the pet wearing equipment with two belts, so that the backrest is stable. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] The configuration of the attachment for a pet waste collection bag according to the present invention will be described. The attachment for an excrement collection bag in this embodiment comprises a waist belt 1, a ventral side fixing part 3 connected to the waist belt 1, a mouth rubber 7, and further a dorsal side fixing part 4. Each component will be described below. EXAMPLES
[0014] The waist belt 1 is wrapped around the pet's torso. The tip of the waist belt 1 is equipped with a fastener 12. This waist belt 1 is made of a slightly stretchable material so that it can be fitted to the pet's torso, and the middle part of the belt, which corresponds to the pet's abdomen, is equipped with a wrapping bag 2 whose length is shorter than the distance between the bases of the pet's left and right hind legs.
[0015] The abdominal fixing part 3 is composed of two crotch belts 3. The crotch belts 3 run from the wrapping bag 2 to the mouth rubber 7 along the base of the left and right hind legs so that the genitals are exposed, and serve to connect the two. The mouth rubber 7 is also equipped with a fastener 5 that clamps and fastens the opening of the excrement storage bag 8.
[0016] The wrapping bag 2 is wrapped loosely around the belt so that it is not fixed to the belt, and does not interfere with the movement of the waist belt 1 by sliding. The role of the wrapping bag 2 is to prevent the belt from contacting the pet's soft belly with friction or digging into it. For this reason, it is preferable that the material used is soft. Because of this configuration, the waist belt 1 exerts a force that restricts the abdominal side fixing part 3 from moving toward the buttocks. Therefore, in this embodiment, the wrapping bag 2 corresponds to the abdominal side acting part 3 in the present invention. However, the wrapping bag 2 may be omitted and the crotch belt 3 may be directly fixed to the waist belt 1. In this case, the end portion on the waist belt side corresponds to the abdominal side acting portion.
[0017] The back side fixing part 4 has a flat backrest 42, two connecting belts 43 at the front end of the backrest 42 for connecting to a harness (an example of a pet wearing device), and two tail belts 41 at the rear end of the backrest 42. The front end of the connecting belts 43 is equipped with a fastening device 6 such as a lobster clasp, hook and loop fastener, snap button, hook or carabiner that can be easily attached to and detached from the harness 91. The backrest 42 fits along the pet's back, and the connecting belt 43 is joined to the pet wearing device 91 to prevent the back-side fixing part 4 from slipping off to the side or rear end, and maintain the ideal wearing state in which the excrement storage bag 8 is positioned at the anus. That is, in this embodiment, the connecting belt 43 corresponds to the back-side acting part. The tail belt 41 is provided with a length adjuster, and at its tip is provided with a fastener 9 capable of clamping and fastening the opening of the waste storage bag 8, and is connected to the mouth rubber 7. Since the flat backrest 42 is to be placed against the back of the pet, it is preferable that the material conforms to the pet's body, but does not cause discomfort to the pet or impede the pet's movement. In this embodiment, the hole between the tail belts 41 corresponds to the hole for passing the tail in the present invention.
[0018] As for the mouth rubber 7, by fixing the fasteners 5, 9 from the ventral fixing part 3 and the dorsal fixing part 4 to the mouth rubber 7, the hardness of the mouth rubber 7 is expected to have the effect of making the opening of the excrement storage bag 8 fit snugly. However, the rubber cap 7 may be omitted.
[0019] The excrement storage bag 8 is made of a material that does not leak moisture, such as existing vinyl, nylon, polyethylene, etc., and is sized to fit the pet's physique so as not to rub against the ground or floor, yet the opening of the excrement storage bag 8 is not excessively large. The trick is to place the three fasteners in a well-balanced manner at the opening of the excrement collection bag 8.
[0020] [How to install and remove the pet waste collection bag attachment] A method for attaching the pet waste collection bag attachment tool will now be described. First, the opening of the waste storage bag 8 is clamped and held firmly by the fastener 9 at the rear end of the back fixing part 4 of the pet waste storage bag attachment tool and the fastener 5 of the mouth rubber. Next, the waste storage bag attachment tool with the waste storage bag 8 attached is oriented so that the waste storage bag 8 and the back fixing part 4 are on the tail side of the pet (the right side in FIG. 3), and the waist belt 1 is placed under the pet's abdomen. Next, the waist belt 1 is raised from the left and right sides from the abdomen side to the back side of the pet, and wrapped around the waist using the fastener 12. The opening of the waste storage bag 8 is placed against the anus of the pet, and the back rest 42 of the back fixing part 4 is placed along the pet's back while the pet's tail is passed through the hole in the back fixing part 4, and the fastener 6 at the front end of the back fixing part 4 is used to connect to the pet wearing tool 91. As a result, a force is applied to the abdominal fixing part 3 to restrict movement from the waist belt 1, and a force is applied to the back fixing part 4 to restrict movement from the pet wearing device 91 to the rear end of the pet, so that the excrement storage bag 8 is positioned and stabilized.
[0021] When collecting and discarding the excrement stored in the excrement storage bag 8, remove the fastener 6 at the front end of the backrest 42 from the pet wearing device 91, turn the back fixing part 4 toward the rear of the back, and remove the tail. Place the back fixing part 4 down temporarily, being careful not to point the opening of the excrement storage bag 8 located at the anus downwards, and remove the waist belt 1. The excrement storage bag 8, which has been clamping the opening of the excrement storage bag 8, is removed from the fasteners 5, 9, and is collected and discarded. EXAMPLES
[0022] The second embodiment is characterized in that it does not have a back support 42, and the back-side fixing part 4 is fixed to the waist belt 1. The same components as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. The ends of suspenders 30 are attached to the front end of the ventral side of the waist belt, and the suspenders 30 can be stretched from the ventral side to the back side by passing behind the pet's neck and then connected to the fasteners 15 provided on the back side of the waist belt. The waist belt 1 exerts a force to restrict the back side fixing part 4 and the ventral side fixing part 3 from moving toward the rear side due to the movement of the pet. By crossing the suspenders 30 on the ventral side, it becomes an important point that prevents the suspenders 30 themselves from slipping off the pet's body, and in turn prevents the waist belt 1 and the excrement storage bag 8 from slipping off the waist belt 1. The waist belt 1 is preferably wider than the waist belt 1 because the tail belt 41 and the suspenders 30 are engaged on the back side of the waist belt 1. Also, if a double-sided hook-and-loop fastener is used as the fastener 28 at the end of the tail belt 41, it is possible to fasten the double-sided hook-and-loop fastener of the tail belt 41 onto the hook-and-loop fasteners 15 attached to the left and right sides of the back of the waist belt 1, and then fasten the hook-and-loop fasteners 16 of the suspenders 30 onto that (see Figures 5 and 6). This allows the length of the suspenders 30 and the back fixing parts 4 to be adjusted on the hook-and-loop fastener, and makes installation easy. (It is also possible to use a double-sided hook-and-loop fastener for the fasteners 16 of the suspenders 30, and fasten the tail belt 41 onto the suspenders 30.) However, it is possible to use fasteners such as snap buttons instead of hook-and-loop fasteners. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, it is also possible to eliminate the suspenders 30 and use a base 13 and a fastener 19 for fastening the back side fixing part 4 to the waist belt 1 itself. In this case, the tail belt 41 is fastened to the body belt by attaching the fastener 26 to the tip of the tail belt, but if a short back support 42 is used near the tip of both the left and right tail belts, the tail belt 41 is less likely to get tangled and is easier to handle. Also, if the fastener 19 can be attached directly to the body belt, the base 13 for the fastener is not necessarily required. EXAMPLES
[0023] As shown in Fig. 8, it is also possible to increase the width of the waist belt 1, join the front end of the waist belt 1 to the rear end of the harness 91, and omit the back support 42. In this embodiment, the tail belt 41 is a double-sided hook-and-loop fastener. The tail belt 41 is passed through a fastener 22 (D-ring, round ring, square ring, etc.) attached to the rear end of the waist belt, and the adhesive surface of the double-sided hook-and-loop tape is pressed and fixed, forming a back acting part that acts with a force to restrict movement toward the tail. The harness 91 itself is originally designed to be worn closely to the pet's body, so by utilizing this function, the waist belt 1 can be worn more stably, and the ventral fixing part 3 and the dorsal fixing part 4 are also stabilized via the waist belt 1. In this case, the waist belt 1 exerts a force that restricts the abdominal side fixing part 3 and the tail belt 41 from moving toward the tail side. EXAMPLES
[0024] As shown in Figure 9, a harness 91 that is normally worn on the front legs can also be worn on the rear legs. In this case, a ventral fixing part 3 is attached to the rear end of the harness 91, and a rubber cuff 7 is provided, and a dorsal fixing part 4 is provided on the extension of the rubber cuff. The harness 91 itself is worn on the left and right front legs of the pet and fixed on the back, and by utilizing its reliable fastening, the movement of the ventral fixing part 3 and dorsal fixing part 4 is also restricted, and the waste storage bag 8 is stably positioned at the anus. First, the rear legs are placed in the space between the two tapes 33 protruding from the upper and lower ends of the harness and the fabric that touches the abdominal side from the leg loops, and the tapes 33 around the left and right legs are fastened at the center of the back with the fasteners 29. Next, while moving the mouth rubber 7 holding the excrement storage bag 8 closer to the pet's anus, the fasteners 28 attached to the tip of the dorsal fixing part are hooked into the gap of the rings 14 that hold together the tapes 33 around the leg loops of the harness 91. 9, the abdominal side fixing part 3 is fixed to the harness 91, so that a force is applied to restrict the abdominal side fixing part 3 from moving toward the buttocks. Also, by attaching the locking device 28 to the harness 91, a force is applied to restrict the dorsal side fixing part 4 from moving toward the buttocks. 10, the portion of the tape 33 that overlaps the periphery of the rear legs may be made wider, and the harness 91 may be made more like a diaper. In this case, too, the left and right rear legs are put on and fastened with fasteners 29 at the center of the back, and fasteners 28 at the tip of the dorsal fixing part are joined to fasteners 19 on the dorsal side of the diaper. 10 shows a diaper-like shape, but complete pet pants or a pet diaper cover equipped with the ventral fixing part 3, excrement storage bag 8, and dorsal fixing part 4 may be used as long as they fulfill their functions. When the diaper or pants are worn, the ventral fixing part 3 is fixed at a moderately lower position toward the ventral side from the anus position, and the base 13 for fastening the fastener 28 at the tip of the tail belt of the dorsal fixing part 4 and the fastener 19 are provided at a moderately higher position toward the dorsal side from the tail position. In this case, the rear-side fixing part 4 is attached to the rear-side part of the diaper cover, and thus acts to restrict the movement of the rear-side fixing part 4 to the rear-side. The crotch belt 3 is fixed to the ventral side of the diaper cover, and therefore acts to restrict the movement of the rear-side fixing part 4 to the rear-side. 9 and 10, the excrement collection bag attachment tool is used alone without using the pet wearing tool 91. However, if the pet moves and shifts, it is possible to prevent the shift by preparing separate suspenders or the like and catching and fixing the bag from the ventral and dorsal sides as in the second embodiment. In addition, if the ventral fixing part 3 or the dorsal fixing part 4 is too long or too short and the waste storage bag 8 cannot be positioned properly at the anus, it is advisable to adjust it using the length adjuster. EXAMPLES
[0025] As shown in FIG. 11, it is also possible to fold and sandwich a part of the back support 42 of the back-side fixing part 4 according to the first embodiment between the waist belt 1 and the back of the pet. In this case, it may be made easier to handle by making a slit in about half of the length of the backrest 42 so that it can be folded up, or by making the backrest 42 bag-shaped and putting flexible material only in the part that will be placed under the waist belt. 11, the backrest 42 is folded into the waist belt 1, so that the backrest 42 is less likely to move, and the waist belt 1 restricts the backrest 42 from moving toward the buttocks. The waist belt 1 restricts the end of the crotch belt 3 on the waist belt side from moving toward the buttocks. Also, instead of folding in a portion of the backrest 42 as shown in FIG. 12, it is also possible to make a portion of the upper left and right parts of the backrest into a cylindrical shape, and then pass the fasteners 12 of the waist belt 1 through the cylindrical shapes from right to left and then fasten them for use. In this case, the relationship between the waist belt 1 and the back-side fixed part 4 becomes more stable. In FIG. 12, the waist belt 1 itself, which touches the pet's belly side, restricts the belly side fixing part 3 from moving toward the rear end, and the waist belt 1 itself, which touches the pet's back side, restricts the rear side fixing part 4 from moving toward the rear end. In all cases, the excrement collection bag attachment is used alone without using the pet wearing device 91. However, if the pet moves and shifts, you can use separate suspenders or the like to grip and fasten the waist belt 1 from the ventral and dorsal sides to prevent the shifting. In any case, if the ventral or dorsal fixing part is too long or too short and the waste storage bag 8 cannot be positioned properly at the anus, the length can be adjusted using the length adjuster. [Another embodiment] The pet wearing equipment 91 in the present invention refers to what is called a harness, collar, or the like that is worn around the chest or neck of a pet. As long as the configuration of the excrement collection bag attachment device with the waist belt 1, ventral fixing part 3, and back fixing part 4 in this case is in order and functions properly, the number of belts may be changed or the backrest 42 may be omitted. You can change the design, material, type of fastener, and size of everything, and arrange it into fashionable items, pet wear, rain gear, etc. In this way, you can choose the one that is easy to use according to the situation and the user. The excrement storage bag 8 can also handle excrement that leaks easily if a polymer or water absorbent is placed in the excrement storage bag 8 beforehand to prevent moisture from the excrement to be collected. There are no limitations on the material, shape, or size of the excrement storage bag 8 itself, but if you want to avoid the excrement contained in the excrement storage bag 8 being conspicuous, or if the material of the bag itself is fragile and may tear when rubbed against the ground or floor, adding a cover 0 to the bag can make the excrement storage bag 8 strong and easy to see. (See Figure 4) In this case, similar collection and disposal bags are placed one on top of the other, and the opening of that bag is simply widened and placed on top of the opening of the bag underneath, and positioned over the pet's anus. During this process, the fastener 6 at the front end of the backrest 42 of the back fixing part 4 of the waste storage bag attachment device must be temporarily removed from the pet attachment device 91, but by doing so, one of the collection and disposal bags inside the waste storage bag 8 can be picked up and removed, and it can be returned to an empty waste storage bag 8. In all the embodiments, the device can be attached and used over a paper diaper for pets. It can also be used as shown in Figure 13 only when using a paper diaper for pets. First, the opening of the waste storage bag 8 is fastened with the fastener of the elastic mouth 7, and the tip of the crotch belt 3 (ventral side fixing part 3) is directly fastened to the waist part of the ventral side of the paper diaper for pets, and the paper diaper for pets is put on the pet in this state. Next, while passing the tail belt 41 through the pet's tail, stretch the backrest 42 towards the tape fastener on the back of the paper diaper for pets, and slide the backrest 42 between the tape fastener and the pet's back, making sure that it is firmly inserted to the base of the joint between the backrest 42 and the tail belt 41. In this case, the end of the ventral fixing part 3 becomes the ventral acting part that exerts a force to restrict the ventral fixing part 3 from moving toward the buttocks, and the back pad 42 that is slid under the back tape of the pet paper diaper becomes the back acting part.
