[Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a development view showing the inside of the pet clothing. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a development view showing the outside of the pet clothing. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] The following embodiments relate to pet clothing shown in Figs. 1 to 4, and include not only essential configurations of the invention but also optional and preferred configurations.

[0012] [Present embodiment] <About Pet Clothing 1> Pet clothing 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pet wearing pet clothing 1, and Figs. 2(a) and 2(b) are top and bottom views of a pet wearing pet clothing 1.

[0013] In the following, the main body portion (the shaded portion in Figs. 1 and 2) which is a characteristic part of the pet clothing 1 will be described in detail as the pet clothing 1 using a development view.

[0014] Fig. 3 is a developed view showing the inside of pet clothing 1, and Fig. 4 is a developed view showing the outside of pet clothing 1. The inside of pet clothing 1 refers to the side that comes into contact with the pet when wearing pet clothing 1, and the outside of pet clothing 1 refers to the side that comes into contact with the outside air.

[0015] 3 and 4, pet clothing 1 is composed of a ventral portion 1a worn on the ventral side and a dorsal portion 1b worn on the dorsal side. Furthermore, ventral portion 1a has left leg portions 1c, right leg portions 1d, and a waist portion 1e.

[0016] To give an example of how to put pet garment 1 on a pet, first place pet garment 1 in the state shown in FIG. 3. Then, insert the pet's front left leg into left leg-around portion 1c, and the front right leg into right leg-around portion 1d. Then, lift pet garment 1 so that the inside of ventral portion 1a abuts against the pet's stomach and the inside of dorsal portion 1b abuts against the pet's back. Then, close zipper 4 and leg-around fastening portions (not shown), which will be described later, and put pet garment 1 on the pet.

[0017] Pet clothing 1 has a power supply pocket 2, a fan pocket 3, a zipper 4, and an impregnating material pocket 5 (corresponding to a storage section). The power supply pocket 2 contains a power supply 12, the fan pocket 3 contains a fan 11 (corresponding to a cooling device), and the impregnating material pocket 5 contains an impregnating material 14.

[0018] The power supply pocket 2 is provided with a simple lid, which prevents the power supply 12 from easily falling out of the pocket. The lid can be fastened with, for example, a wire fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, or a button.

[0019] The power supply pocket 2 is provided on the outside of the back portion 1b so that the power supply 12 can be easily replaced even while the pet clothing 1 is still being worn.

[0020] Also, from a safety standpoint, it is better to provide it on the outside of the back portion 1b. For example, if power source 12 overheats, catches fire, or other problems occur, it may be difficult for a pet to remove power source 12 by itself, but if power source 12 is provided in such a location, the owner can quickly remove it.

[0021] 3, the power supply 12 is connected to the blower 11 via a cable 13 (corresponding to an electric wire) and supplies power to the blower 11 via the cable 13. A cable hole 2a that connects to the inside of the pet clothing 1 is provided inside the power supply pocket 2.

[0022] In addition, a cable holder 2b for holding the cable 13 is provided on the inside of the pet clothing 1, and holds the cable 13 from the cable hole 2a to the position where the blower 11 is stored.

[0023] That is, in the pet clothing 1 according to this embodiment, the blower 11 and the power source 12 are connected by a cable 13, and the cable 13 is arranged on the inside of the pet clothing from the back portion 1b to the ventral portion 1a when the pet clothing is worn. In this way, the cable 13 can be arranged on the inside, which can prevent breakage.

[0024] The fan pockets 3 are provided in two places on the abdominal portion 1a, and have through holes for blowing air from the outside to the inside of the pet garment 1, and are portions for accommodating the fan 11, which is a cooling device. When the fan 11 starts blowing, the air sent from the outside to the inside hits the area around the stomach where the pet is likely to get hot, and can efficiently lower the pet's body temperature.

[0025] In other words, the pet clothing 1 of this embodiment is a pet clothing 1 equipped with a blower 11, and has a back part 1b that is worn on the back side of the pet and a ventral part 1a that is worn on the ventral side of the pet, with the blower 11 arranged in the ventral part 1a and a power source 12 that drives the blower 11 arranged on the outside of the back part 1b when worn.

[0026] In this way, since the blower 11 is arranged on the ventral side, a high cooling effect can be obtained, and since the power source 12 is arranged on the dorsal side, the power source 12 can be quickly removed from the pet when the pet becomes hot, etc., so that pet clothing 1 with improved safety can be provided.

[0027] The air can also be blown from the inside to the outside by the air blower 11. In this case, for example, heat trapped inside the pet clothing 1 can be expelled to the outside.

[0028] Moreover, the blower 11 is detachable, and the blowing capacity can be adjusted by replacing the blower 11. A cooling device other than the blower 11 can also be used, for example, a cooling device using a Peltier element can also be used.

[0029] As mentioned above, the zipper 4 connects the abdominal portion 1a and the back portion 1b when closed, and is the part that is opened and closed when putting on or taking off the pet clothing 1. The zipper 4 is provided along the longitudinal direction of the abdominal portion 1a and the back portion 1b (the front-to-back direction of the pet when worn), and is provided so that it can be easily opened and closed at the top of the pet when putting on or taking off the pet clothing.

[0030] The fastener 4 may be any fastener that can connect the abdominal portion 1a and the dorsal portion 1b when the pet clothing 1 is worn, and may be, for example, a wire fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, a button, or the like.

[0031] The impregnating material pocket 5 is a portion that stores the impregnating material 14 inside, and the impregnating material 14 contains water (equivalent to liquid). In other words, the pet clothing 1 according to this embodiment is provided with the impregnating material 14 that is impregnated with water. This makes it possible to cool the pet by the heat of vaporization.

[0032] Furthermore, five impregnating material pockets 5 are provided on the inside of the pet clothing 1. In other words, the pet clothing 1 according to this embodiment has impregnating material pockets 5 for storing the impregnating material 14 on the inside when worn. This allows for a greater cooling effect due to the latent heat of vaporization than if the pockets were provided on the outside.

[0033] [Other embodiments] The above-described embodiments are intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the impregnating material pocket 5 is provided on the inside of the pet clothing 1, but this is not limiting and it may be provided on the outside. In other words, the impregnating material pocket 5 for storing the impregnating material 14 may be provided on the outside when worn. In this case, it is possible to suppress stuffiness caused by water vapor generated by evaporation, compared to when it is provided on the inside.

[0035] Furthermore, when the cooling device is an air blower as in the above embodiment, the impregnating material pocket 5 may be provided at the position where the air is blown (for example, in front of the air blower). In other words, the cooling device may be an air blower that blows air, and the impregnating material pocket 5 for storing the impregnating material 14 may be provided at the position where the air is blown by the air blower. In this case, the evaporation of the impregnating material 14 can be promoted by the air blower, thereby improving the cooling effect.

[0036] In the above embodiment, only the impregnating material 14 contains water, but this is not limiting and a liquid tank may be provided to supply water to the impregnating material 14. In other words, a liquid tank may be provided to store the liquid to be supplied to the impregnating material 14. In this case, the cooling effect due to the latent heat of vaporization can be maintained for a long period of time.

[0037] In the above embodiment, two blower pockets 3 are provided on the ventral side, but this is not limitative and the number may be one or three or more. The same applies to the number of impregnating material pockets 5.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the impregnating material 14 utilizing the heat of vaporization is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a cooling material such as an ice pack may be stored in the impregnating material pocket 5.

[0039] The disclosure of the present invention described above can be summarized at least as follows.
