Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cat scratching post. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, cat scratching posts that are attached as posts for cat towers, etc. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a cat scratching post in which a sheet-like cat scratching post with a non-slip backing is fixed to a post by a surface fastener. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-108237 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the scratching post in Patent Document 1 is configured to fix the cat scratching means to the support post by using an anti-slip means on the backside to prevent the cat scratching means from slipping. This poses the problem of making it difficult to determine its position relative to the support post. Furthermore, since the fixing means, which is a surface fastener, is exposed from the front surface so as not to interfere with the anti-slip means on the backside, there is the problem that the fixing means gets in the way when the cat scratches its claws.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cat scratching implement in which replaceable scratching sheets can be securely fixed to the support posts and can be easily positioned. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 comprises a support post having at least one protrusion on the upper side that protrudes outward from the side, and a scratching sheet that is attached by being wrapped around the support post and that a cat can press its claws against to scratch its claws, the scratching sheet having a surface fastener at each of the overlapping portions of both ends in the wrapping direction, and through holes through which the protrusions pass, and when the scratching sheet is attached by being wrapped around the support post, the surface fasteners adhere to each other and the protrusions pass through the through holes, thereby fixing the scratching sheet to the support post. Furthermore, the invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that, in the invention described in claim 1, the surface fastener is arranged so that it is not exposed on the surface when the scratching sheet is attached to the support. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the invention of claim 1, the surface fasteners provided at the overlapping portions of both ends of the scratching sheet in the wrapping direction are bonded together, and the protrusions are inserted into the through-holes provided in the scratching sheet, thereby fixing the scratching sheet to the support. The through-holes are also provided at the overlapping portions of both ends of the scratching sheet in the wrapping direction. Therefore, the scratching sheet can be securely and replaceably fixed to the support by the protrusions and the surface fasteners, and the positioning can be easily performed by the protrusions. Furthermore, since the surface fasteners are fixed not only by adhesion between the surface fasteners but also by the protrusions, there is no risk of the surface fasteners coming off. Furthermore, according to the invention described in claim 2, when the scratching sheet is attached to the support, the surface fastener is not exposed from the surface of the scratching sheet, so it does not interfere with the cat's scratching. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a side view showing a nail scratching tool according to the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the state in which the scratching sheet is attached to the support. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a side view showing a cat scratching tool 1 according to the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which a cat scratching sheet 3 is attached to a post 2 in the cat scratching tool 1.

[0010] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the scratching post 1 comprises a scratching sheet 3 and a post 2, and is a tool against which a cat presses its claws to scratch.

[0011] The support 2 has a cylindrical shape and is used, for example, as a pillar for a cat tower. The support 2 is provided with a protrusion 4 that protrudes outward from the upper side of the support 2. The protrusion 4 may be, for example, a wooden dowel attached to a hole provided in the support 2.

[0012] The scratching sheet 3 is a rectangular sheet that is wrapped around the support pole 2 and attached, and the surface (front side) that is exposed when attached to the support pole 2 is made of a material that cats can use to scratch. Hemp rope, for example, is used as the material for the scratching sheet 3. Furthermore, the scratching sheet 3 is provided with surface fasteners 5, 5 at the part where both ends in the wrapping direction overlap, and a through-hole 6 is provided at the part where both ends in the wrapping direction overlap, in accordance with the position of the protrusion 4 when attached to the support pole 2.

[0013] The surface fasteners 5, 5 are bonded together and the protrusions 4 are inserted into the through holes 6, thereby fixing the scratching sheet 3 to the support 2. At this time, the size and shape of the surface fasteners 5, 5 are determined so that they are not exposed from the surface of the scratching sheet 3.

[0014] According to the cat scratching device 1 of the above embodiment, the surface fasteners 5, 5 provided at the overlapping portions of the scratching sheet 3 in the wrapping direction are adhered to each other, and the protrusions 4 are inserted into the through holes 6 provided in the scratching sheet 3, thereby fixing the scratching sheet 3 to the support 2. The through holes 6 are also provided at the overlapping portions of the scratching sheet 3 in the wrapping direction. Therefore, the scratching sheet 3 is sufficiently and replaceably fixed to the support 2 by the protrusions 4 and the surface fasteners 5,5, and positioning can be easily performed by the protrusions 4. Furthermore, since the surface fasteners 5,5 are fixed not only by adhesion between themselves but also by the protrusions 4, there is no risk of the surface fasteners 5,5 coming off.

[0015] Furthermore, when the scratching sheet 3 is attached to the support 2, the surface fasteners 5, 5 are not exposed from the surface of the scratching sheet 3, so they do not interfere with the cat's scratching.

[0016] The cat scratching tool of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the overall configuration of the cat scratching tool as well as the cat scratching sheet, etc. can be modified as needed.

[0017] For example, the number and positions of the protrusions 4 may be changed as appropriate as long as there is at least one protrusion 4 on the upper side surface. In this case, the through holes 6 are provided in accordance with the number and positions of the protrusions 4. [Explanation of symbols]
