[0010] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of how a pet diaper according to the embodiment is worn. The pet diaper 1 according to the embodiment is a diaper for animals such as dogs and cats, and the diaper body 10 is provided with an absorbent cloth and can be used repeatedly. As shown in FIG. 1, the pet diaper 1 includes a diaper body 10 that covers the pet P from the abdominal side to the back side. The diaper body 10 has a multi-layer structure in which an outer material, a waterproof film, an absorbent cloth, and a mesh material (lining) are layered from the front side to the back side. Then, the two tape parts 11a and 11b extending from both ends of the abdominal side of the diaper body 10 are fixed to the fixing parts 12 provided on the back side of the diaper body 10, so that the diaper is worn on the pet P.

[0011] An opening 13 is provided at a position facing the base of the tail P1 and the anus P2 of the pet P when the diaper body 10 is worn on the pet P. A feces collection bag 20 for collecting feces is removably attached to the opening 13. The feces collection bag 20 may be a general polyethylene bag with an opening. Therefore, the feces collection bag 20 does not need to be a special item prepared for the pet diaper 1 of this embodiment.

[0012] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the surface of the pet diaper 1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the surface of the opening 13. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper side 13a and the lower side 13b of the opening 13 are shorter than the vertical sides 13c and 13d. Here, the upper side 13a and the lower side 13b are horizontal sides extending along the horizontal direction W. Here, the horizontal direction W is a direction along the waist circumference of the pet P when the pet diaper 1 is worn on the pet P. Of the horizontal sides, the horizontal side located on the back part 10a side is the upper side 13a, and the horizontal side located on the abdomen part 10b side is the lower side 13b. Both the upper side 13a and the lower side 13b are formed in a convex arc shape on the outside of the opening 13.

[0013] The vertical sides 13c and 13d of the opening 13 extend along the vertical direction H. The vertical direction H is a direction extending from the back side to the belly side of the pet P and is perpendicular to the horizontal direction W. The vertical sides 13c and 13d are formed in a straight line substantially parallel to the vertical direction H.

[0014] The opening 13 is formed so that the lengths of the upper side 13a and the lower side 13b are both shorter than the lengths of the vertical sides 13c, 13d. Since the vertical sides 13c, 13d are formed long in this manner, the opening 13 can face both the tail P1 and the anus P2.

[0015] The shapes of the upper side 13a, the lower side 13b, and the vertical sides 13c and 13d are not limited to those in the embodiment. For example, the upper side 13a and the lower side 13b may be formed in a straight line. Furthermore, the vertical sides 13c and 13d may be formed in a convex arc shape on the outside of the opening 13.

[0016] Furthermore, the opening 13 is reinforced. In this embodiment, stitches 14 are applied as the reinforcement. Note that the reinforcement is not limited to the stitches 14, and for example, a reinforcing cloth may be added around the opening 13. In this way, by applying the reinforcement with the stitches 14, the strength of the opening 13 can be increased.

[0017] On the outer fabric side, five magnet sets 151, 152, 153, 154, and 155 are provided at five locations around the opening 13. The magnet set 151 includes two magnets 151a and 151b. The magnet 151b is attached to a separate cloth 1511, which is attached to the diaper body 10 by a fixing portion 1512. Specifically, the separate cloth 1511 is sewn to the diaper body 10 at the fixing portion 1512. The separate cloth 1511 is folded back toward the opening 13 with the fixing portion 1512 as an axis, so that the magnets 151a and 151b are attracted to each other and bonded to each other. The opening of the feces receiving bag 20 is sandwiched between the magnets 151a and 151b.

[0018] The magnet sets 152, 153, 154, and 155 have the same configuration as the magnet set 151. That is, the magnet set 152 includes two magnets 152a and 152b, the magnet set 153 includes two magnets 153a and 153b, the magnet set 154 includes two magnets 154a and 154b, and the magnet set 155 includes two magnets 155a and 155b. The magnets 152b, 153b, 154b, and 155b are attached to separate cloths 1521, 1531, 1541, and 1551, respectively. The opening of the feces receiving bag 20 is sandwiched between the magnets 152a and 152b, between the magnets 153a and 153b, between the magnets 153a and 153b, between the magnets 154a and 154b, and between the magnets 155a and 155b.

[0019] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the opening 13 in a state where the feces receiving bag 20 is attached. The opening 21 of the feces receiving bag 20 is attached to the diaper body 10 by five magnet sets 151, 152, 153, 154, and 155. In this way, the feces receiving bag 20 is detachably attached to the diaper body 10 by the magnet sets 151, 152, 153, 154, and 155. Therefore, even if the feces receiving bag 20 is repeatedly attached and detached, it can be used for a long time without deterioration. Furthermore, since the feces receiving bag 20 can be easily attached and detached using the magnet sets 151, 152, 153, 154, and 155, the feces receiving bag 20 can be attached and detached even when the pet P is wearing the pet diaper 1. In addition, this eliminates the need to provide an opening for the tail in the feces receiving bag 20. Furthermore, it is also unnecessary to provide the feces receiving bag 20 with a double-sided tape for attaching it to the diaper body 10.

[0020] Furthermore, the five magnet sets 151, 152, 153, 154, and 155 are not arranged on the upper side 13a of the opening 13. The two magnet sets 151 and 152 arranged on the back side are arranged at positions slightly shifted from the upper side 13a toward the ventral side, that is, at the positions on the back side of the vertical sides 13c and 13d, so that the range for the tail P1 to pass through on the upper side 13a side is secured. This allows the tail P1 to pass through on the back side of the feces receiving bag 20 fixed by the magnet sets 151 and 152. Furthermore, by passing the tail P1 through the back side of the opening 13 in this way, the position of the diaper body 10 relative to the tail P1 and the anus P2 can be fixed, and positional deviation can be prevented. In addition, since the feces receiving bag 20 is not in contact with the upper part of the tail P1, even if feces is received in the feces receiving bag 20, the weight of the feces is not applied to the tail P1. In other words, it is possible to prevent the tail P1 from being burdened. Furthermore, the remaining magnet sets 153, 154, and 155 are disposed at equal intervals in the range from magnet set 151 to magnet set 152 within the range including vertical sides 13c and 13d and bottom side 13b.

[0021] 3, the end of the diaper body 10 includes a leg end 16 corresponding to the rear leg P3 of the pet P, which has a continuous gather 161 extending from the back side to the abdomen side. The gather 161 is formed, for example, by sewing an elastic cord such as a rubber cord. The gather 161 is also formed in a vertical range K corresponding to the opening 13.

[0022] In this way, since gathers 161 are provided over the entire leg end portion 16, it is possible to prevent the diaper body 10 from shifting in position. Furthermore, if gathers 161 are provided at positions corresponding to the vertical sides 13c, 13d of the opening 13, the opening 13 will shrink in the vertical direction due to the contraction force of the gathers. In contrast, in this embodiment, the opening 13 is reinforced with stitches 14. This makes it possible to prevent the opening 13 from shrinking in the vertical direction. This makes it possible to prevent the opening 13 from being pinched by the tail P1 passing through the opening 13, or the opening 13 from shifting in position from the anus P2 due to the shrinkage of the opening 13.

[0023] Next, the wearing of the diaper body 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 2 and 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the back surface of the pet diaper 1. As shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the tape parts 11a and 11b of the diaper body 10 extend in a direction slightly inclined toward the ventral side from the lateral direction. As shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the tape part 11a has a removable part 171 on its back surface. Also, the tape part 11b has removable parts 172a and 172b on its back surface and front surface, respectively. The fixed part 12 and the removable part 172b have loops (female) of a hook-and-loop fastener, and the removable parts 171 and 172a have hook-and-loop hooks (male). When the diaper body 10 is worn on the pet P, the removable part 171 of the tape part 11a and the removable part 172a of the tape part 11b are attached to the fixed part 12. Since the fixing portion 12 is provided in a horizontally elongated shape, the diaper body 10 can be fixed to the pet P in accordance with the size of the pet P's waist circumference.

[0024] In addition, since the detachable portion 172b is provided on the surface of the tape portion 11b, the tape portions 11a and 11b can be fixed to the fixed portion 12 in an overlapping state. That is, the detachable portion 172b of the tape portion 11b and the detachable portion 171 of the tape portion 11a can be fixed after the detachable portion 172a of the tape portion 11b is fixed to the fixed portion 12. As a result, if the pet P is a small dog or has lost weight due to aging, the tape portion 11a and the tape portion 11b can be overlapped to accommodate a smaller size.

[0025] As described above, the pet diaper of this embodiment has an opening through which the tail can be passed from the back side of the opening, and the feces receiving bag can be detachably attached to the ventral side of the opening. Therefore, the feces receiving bag can be easily replaced.

[0026] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention as defined in the claims.

[0027] As the first modified example, in this embodiment, a magnet set is used as a pair of fasteners for attaching the feces receiving bag 20 to the diaper body 10, but the pair of fasteners is not limited to a magnet set as long as they are members capable of attaching the feces receiving bag 20 to the diaper body 10. Other examples of the pair of fasteners include snap buttons, etc.

[0028] In the second modified example, the magnet sets may be arranged in three or more places, and the number is not limited to that of the embodiment. For example, when the pet diaper 1 is used for a relatively small pet such as a small dog, the magnet sets may be arranged in three or four places. When the pet diaper 1 is used for a relatively large pet such as a large dog, the magnet sets may be arranged in six or more places. In either case, the two magnet sets 151 and 152 on the back side are arranged on the back side of the vertical sides 13c and 13d, as described in the embodiment. The other magnet sets are preferably arranged at equal intervals at positions other than the upper side 13a. This allows the feces receiving bag 20 to be fixed in a balanced manner at the opening 13.

[0029] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the surface of a pet diaper 1 according to a third modified example. In the pet diaper 1 according to the third modified example, as shown in Fig. 6, the end of the vertical range KL of the leg end 16, which includes the vertical range K corresponding to the opening 13, may not be provided with gathers 161, but may be provided with a straight portion 162. In this way, by not providing gathers 161 around the opening 13, the opening 13 can be prevented from floating around the anus P2, improving the fit.

[0030] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the back surface of the pet diaper 1 according to the fourth modified example. In the pet diaper 1 according to the fourth modified example, as shown in FIG. 7, a waterproof section 18 may be provided on the back surface of the diaper body 10 in the vertical range KL. In the waterproof section 18, a waterproof cloth is further layered on the lining of the diaper body 10 having a multi-layer structure in which an outer fabric, a waterproof membrane, a water-absorbent fabric, and a mesh fabric (lining) are layered. The waterproof cloth is a waterproof fabric or a water-repellent fabric. An example of the waterproof fabric is a fabric laminated with a synthetic resin. An example of the water-repellent fabric is a fabric using a C6 water repellent agent. This allows the dirt to be easily removed by simply wiping it off with a wet sheet or the like even if feces adheres to the pet diaper 1.

[0031] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing the front side of the pet diaper 1 according to the fifth modified example. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing the back side of the pet diaper 1 according to the fifth modified example. In the pet diaper 1 according to the fifth modified example, the back portion 10a and the abdominal portion 10b of the diaper body 10 are formed from separate pieces of fabric and are joined by sewing them together at the seam 30.

[0032] The part of the abdomen 10b that is sewn together as the seam 30 will be described. Before sewing, the multi-layered fabric and the waterproof fabric are placed with the front sides facing each other, and the end of the back part 10a is inserted between the multi-layered fabric and the waterproof fabric at the part that will become the seam 30. They are sewn together in this state and turned inside out. A part 41 of the end 40 of the abdomen 10b thus formed becomes the seam 30, and the center 42 of the end 40 forms a part of the opening 13. More specifically, the center 42 of the end 40 forms the lower side 13b of the opening 13. The lower side 13b of the opening 13 is a part that is located below the anus P2 of the pet P when the pet P is worn on the pet P. In this way, by making the lower side 13b the end 40 sewn together with the front sides facing each other, the fabric is reinforced at the lower side 13b, and the end 40 does not twist or float from the pet P's body, improving the fit. This can prevent feces from getting between the diaper body 10 and the pet P.

[0033] In this modification, the lower side 13b of the opening 13 is straight, and the upper side 13a is formed in a circular arc shape that protrudes outward from the opening 13. Furthermore, the lower side 13b is longer than the upper side, and the width of the opening 13 in the horizontal direction W is formed so that the lower side 13b side is wider than the upper side 13a side. That is, the width of the opening 13 in the horizontal direction W at a first position on the lower side 13b side is wider than the width of the opening 13 in the horizontal direction W at a second position closer to the upper side 13a than the first position.

[0034] With this shape, the tail P1 and the lateral end of the opening 13 are positioned closer to each other on the upper side 13a side, preventing the pet diaper 1 from shifting laterally. Furthermore, the lateral width of the opening 13 on the lower side 13b side can be made sufficiently wider than the size of the anus P2, preventing feces from adhering to the diaper body 10.

[0035] 9, in the vertical range KL, a waterproof section 18 is formed by overlapping waterproof cloths, and at the end of the waterproof section 18, a straight section 162 may be formed instead of the gathers 161. In this way, by using the straight section 162 instead of the gathers 161 and forming the lower side 13b of the opening 13 as a part of the sewn section 30, it is possible to make the garment fit the pet P's body better.
