Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a pet suspender that is attached to prevent a pet diaper from falling off when put on a pet such as a dog or cat. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, damage caused by pet urination, such as bad odors and hygiene problems in parks, as well as damage such as rusting and breaking the bases of road signs and withering plants in flower beds, has been reported and has become a social issue. When taking a pet out for a walk, it is a well-known obligation for the owner to take responsibility for disposing of the pet's waste, but the current situation is that, although feces are one thing, there is no way to take urine home, so it is left unattended. Some owners sprinkle water on the urine, but pouring water on the urine only dilutes it, so it does not fundamentally solve the problem.
[0003] The inventor believes that if owners can make it a habit to put a pet diaper on their pets when they take them out for a walk, urine damage can be solved. A pet diaper is worn on the rear torso of a pet, and absorbs and holds waste such as urine excreted by the pet, preventing the waste from leaking out. However, when wearing a pet diaper on a dog for a walk, if the diaper is wrapped tightly so that it does not slip off while walking, the dog feels stressed and tries to take off the diaper. On the other hand, if the diaper is wrapped loosely so that the dog does not feel stressed, the pet diaper will move around and slip off the dog's torso, causing the pet diaper to be unable to catch urine.
[0004] Therefore, in order to prevent your dog from feeling stressed and to prevent the diaper from falling off or shifting, we thought that it would be best to put on the pet diaper with a looser fit, and then add pet suspenders to prevent the pet diaper from falling off.
[0005] In this regard, a known technology for pet suspenders includes a pair of left and right leg loops through which the pet's front legs are inserted, a chest loop connected to each leg loop and engaging with the pet's chest, a back loop extending from each leg loop to the pet's back, a number of length-adjustable belt members which are detachably connected to the back loops, and clips attached to the ends of the belt members which connect the back side and belly side of the diaper (Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6530153 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] However, when the product described in Patent Document 1 is used on pets who have difficulty walking due to illness or injury, it is thought that the clip will rarely come off the pet diaper. However, when the pet is going on a walk or engaging in strenuous exercise at a dog run, the lengths of the belts connecting the back to the clip are fixed, so depending on the pet's movements, tension may be concentrated on one of the multiple belts, causing the clip to easily come off the pet diaper.
[0008] To provide a suspender for a pet which reduces stress felt by a pet when wearing the pet diaper and prevents the pet from coming off the pet diaper even when the pet is engaged in vigorous exercise. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the pet suspenders of the present invention are pet suspenders comprising two suspender bodies, the suspender bodies comprising: a relay member arranged on the side of the pet's torso and having a hole; a first connecting part connected to the relay member and connected to a collar or harness already worn on the pet; a string passed through the hole in the relay member and connected to the relay member so as to be able to move freely; a second connecting part provided on one end of the string and removably connected to the lower side of a pet diaper already worn on the pet; and a third connecting part provided on the other end of the string and removably connected to the upper side of the pet diaper, the suspender bodies being arranged on both side sides of the pet's torso (Claim 1).
[0010] Now, when a pet is engaged in vigorous exercise, for example, when a dog runs at full speed, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the dog bends its back muscles, bends its hind legs forward, and kicks the ground, then as shown in FIG. 3(b), stretches its back muscles, and stretches its hind legs backward in the air to move forward. Then, the process from FIG. 3(a) to FIG. 3(b) is repeated. At this time, if we focus on the pet diaper attached to the dog's rear body, in the case shown in FIG. 3(a), the dog's back muscles are bent, so the lower side of the pet diaper (near the lower clip 50) moves forward and the upper side of the pet diaper (near the upper clip 60) moves backward, compared to the standing state (see FIG. 2(b)). On the other hand, in the case shown in FIG. 3(b), the dog's back muscles are straightened, so the lower side of the pet diaper moves backward and the upper side of the pet diaper moves forward, compared to the standing state.
[0011] Therefore, in the device according to claim 1, the string is passed through a hole provided in the relay member, and the string is connected to the relay member so as to be freely movable. Therefore, even if the back is bent and the upper side of the pet diaper moves backward and the lower side of the pet diaper moves forward as shown in Fig. 3(a), the tension applied to the string can be dispersed by shortening the length of the string from the relay member to the second connecting part (lower clip 50) and lengthening the length of the string from the relay member to the third connecting part (upper clip 60). Also, even if the back is straightened and the upper side of the pet diaper moves forward and the lower side of the pet diaper moves backward as shown in Fig. 3(b), the tension applied to the string can be dispersed by lengthening the length of the string from the relay member to the second connecting part and shortening the length of the string from the relay member to the third connecting part.
[0012] In this way, regardless of the pet's movement, the tension applied to the string is distributed, so that the string can always maintain an appropriate level of tension, and since tension is unlikely to be applied to only one of the second and third connecting parts provided at the ends of the string, the second and third connecting parts can be prevented from coming off the pet diaper.
[0013] In order to solve the above problems, the pet suspenders of the present invention are provided with a collar or harness and two suspender bodies, the suspender bodies being provided with a relay member arranged on the side of the pet's torso and having a hole, a first connecting part connected to the relay member and connected to the collar or harness, a string passed through the hole in the relay member and connected to the relay member so as to be able to move freely, a second connecting part provided on one end of the string and removably connected to the lower side of a pet diaper previously worn on the pet, and a third connecting part provided on the other end of the string and removably connected to the upper side of the pet diaper, the suspender bodies being provided on both sides of the pet's torso (Claim 2).
[0014] By configuring it in this manner, pet suspenders can be attached to pets that are not wearing a collar or harness, and due to the same effect as the device described in claim 1, regardless of the pet's movement, the tension applied to the string is distributed, allowing the string to always maintain an appropriate level of tension, and since tension is unlikely to be applied to only one of the second and third connecting parts at the ends of the string, it is possible to prevent the second and third connecting parts from coming off the pet diaper.
[0015] In this case, in the pet suspenders described in claim 1 or 2, it is preferable that the hole portion provided in the relay member is formed in a circular shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the hole portion is curved overall so as to be convex toward the center of the hole portion (claim 3).
[0016] With this configuration, the string slides along the curved surface, allowing for smooth free movement, so that the tension applied to the string can be distributed more smoothly. Effect of the Invention
[0017] According to the pet suspenders of the present invention, even if the pet is engaged in vigorous exercise, the tension applied to the strings is distributed so that the strings can always maintain an appropriate tension, and tension is unlikely to be applied to only one of the second and third connecting parts provided at the ends of the strings, so that the second and third connecting parts can be prevented from coming off the pet diaper, making it difficult for the pet suspenders to come off the pet diaper. Also, even if the pet diaper is worn with the wrapping adjusted loosely, the pet suspenders make it difficult for the pet to come off, so the pet feels less stress when wearing the pet diaper.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0019] The pet suspenders 1, 1A according to the present invention will be described below.
[0020] First Embodiment (Pet description) The pet in this embodiment is a pet dog. As shown in FIG. 2(a), the pet dog is wearing a commercially available general harness 5 and a commercially available general pet diaper 2. The harness 5 is formed by connecting both ends of a chest belt 5A, a back belt 5B, and an abdominal belt 5C to a pair of left and right connecting rings 5D. The pet diaper 2 is a tape-type diaper in which a cloth body with a water-absorbent material is wrapped around the rear torso of the pet dog and fastened with tape. The pet suspenders 1 of this invention can also be used for pants-type pet diapers.
[0021] (Pet Suspenders 1 Description) The pet suspenders 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 1(a), 2(b), and 3. Fig. 1(a) shows a plan view of the pet suspenders 1. Figs. 2(b) and 3 show schematic diagrams of the pet suspenders 1 worn by a pet dog. The pet suspenders 1 are worn by a pet dog. When the pet dog wears the pet diaper 2, the pet suspenders 1 are worn by the pet dog and connected to the pet diaper 2 and a harness 5 to keep the pet diaper 2 from slipping or coming off. The pet suspenders 1 are mainly composed of two suspender bodies 7.
[0022] (Suspender body 7 explanation) The suspender body 7 will be described with reference to Figs. 1(a), 2(b), and 3. Fig. 1(a) shows a plan view of the suspender body 7. Figs. 2(b) and 3 show schematic diagrams of the suspender body 7 worn by a pet dog. Figs. 2 and 3(b) show the suspender body 7 arranged on the right side of the pet dog. The suspender body 7 is arranged on the left side of the pet dog in the same manner as on the right side (not shown). The suspender body 7 is arranged on one side of the pet dog and connects the harness 5 and the pet diaper 2. The suspender body 7 is mainly composed of a metal ring 20, a hook 30, a string 40, a lower clip 50, and an upper clip 60.
[0023] (Metal Ring 20 Explanation) The metal ring 20 will be described with reference to Figs. 1, 2(b), and 3. Fig. 1(a) shows a plan view of the metal ring 20. Fig. 1(b) shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the metal ring 20 as viewed from the α-α arrows in Fig. 1(a). Figs. 2(b) and 3 show schematic views of the metal ring 20 constituting the suspender body 7. The metal ring 20 constitutes the middle part of the suspender body 7 and is a member that relays the hook 30 described later and the string body 40 described later. The metal ring 20 is an O-ring made of metal, for example stainless steel, and has a circular hole 21 with a diameter of 2 cm formed in the center. The metal ring 20 corresponds to a relay member described in the claims of the utility model registration of this application.
[0024] As shown in the cross-sectional view of Figure 1(b), the cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the hole 21 of the metal ring 20 is a curved surface 22 that is curved overall so as to be convex toward the center of the hole 21.
[0025] (Hook 30 explanation) The hook 30 will be described with reference to Figs. 1(a), 2(b), and 3. Fig. 1(a) shows a plan view of the hook 30. Figs. 2(b) and 3 show schematic diagrams of the hook 30 constituting the suspender body 7. The hook 30 is a member for connecting the metal ring 20 and the harness 5, and uses a carabiner-type hook disposed at the tip. The hook 30 can form an opening by pushing down a gate biased in the opening direction, and can be attached to the harness 5 by inserting the connection ring 5D of the harness 5 into the opening. The hook 30 has a base end connected to the metal ring 20. The hook 30 corresponds to the first connection part described in the claims of the utility model registration of this application.
[0026] (Explanation of string 40) The string 40 will be described with reference to Figs. 1(a), 2(b), and 3. Fig. 1(a) shows a plan view of the string 40. Figs. 2(b) and 3 show schematic diagrams of the string 40 constituting the suspender body 7. The string 40 is a member for connecting the metal ring 20 to the lower clip 50 and the upper clip 60, and is made of twisted nylon fibers in a string shape. The string 40 has one end connected to the lower clip 50 (described later) and the other end connected to the upper clip 60 (described later). The string 40 is passed through a hole 21 provided in the metal ring 20 and is connected to the metal ring 20 in a state in which it can move freely relative to the metal ring 20.
[0027] (Explanation of the lower clip 50) The lower clip 50 will be described with reference to Figs. 1(a), 2(b), and 3. Fig. 1(a) shows a plan view of the lower clip 50. Figs. 2(b) and 3 show schematic diagrams of the lower clip 50 constituting the suspender body 7. The lower clip 50 constitutes the end portion of the suspender body 7 and has a function for detachably connecting to the lower side of the pet diaper 2. The lower clip 50 has an open end formed by opening two metal plates, which is constantly biased in a closing direction by a coil spring, and the open end firmly holds the pet diaper 2 to connect to the pet diaper 2. The end of the lower clip 50 opposite to the open end is connected to the end of the string 40. The lower clip 50 corresponds to the second connecting portion described in the claims of the utility model registration of this application.
[0028] (Explanation of upper clip 60) The upper clip 60 will be described with reference to Figs. 1(a), 2(b), and 3. Fig. 1(a) shows a plan view of the upper clip 60. Figs. 2(b) and 3 show schematic diagrams of the upper clip 60 constituting the suspender body 7. The upper clip 60 constitutes the end portion of the suspender body 7 and has a function for detachably connecting to the upper side of the pet diaper 2. The upper clip 60 has an open end formed by opening two metal plates, which is constantly biased in a closing direction by a coil spring, and the open end firmly holds the pet diaper 2 to connect to the pet diaper 2. The end of the upper clip 60 opposite to the open end is connected to the end of the string 40. The upper clip 60 corresponds to the third connecting portion described in the claims of the utility model registration of this application.
[0029] <How to wear pet suspenders 1> A method of putting on the pet suspenders 1 will be described. FIG. 2(a) shows a right side view of a pet dog standing up with a harness 5 and a pet diaper 2 already attached. FIG. 2(b) shows a right side view of a pet dog standing up with a pet suspenders 1 already attached. The pet dog is already wearing a harness 5 and a pet diaper 2. First, the owner prepares one of the two suspender bodies 7 and attaches it to the right side of the pet dog. The owner pushes down the gate of the hook 30 of the suspender body 7 to form an opening, inserts the connection ring 5D arranged on the right side of the pet dog's harness 5 into the opening, and then pushes the gate back down and attaches it. The connection between the suspender body 7 and the harness 5 is completed.
[0030] Next, the lower clip 50 and upper clip 60 of the suspender body 7 are aligned along the right side of the dog's body so that they are positioned behind the dog, and the open end of the lower clip 50 clamps the lower portion of the side of the pet diaper 2. Next, the open end of the upper clip 60 clamps the upper portion of the side of the pet diaper 2. The metal ring 20 is positioned on the right side of the dog's body with the opening of the hole 21 facing the side of the dog's body. The connection between the suspender body 7 and the pet diaper 2 is complete.
[0031] Next, the owner prepares another suspender body 7 and attaches it to the right side of the dog's body in the same manner as the procedure for attaching it to the right side. This completes the installation of the pet suspenders 1.
[0032] <Operation description of pet suspenders 1> The operation of the pet suspenders 1 worn on a pet dog as described above will now be described. Fig. 3(a) shows a right side view of a pet dog wearing the pet suspenders 1 at the moment when the dog hunches its back and kicks the ground while sprinting. Fig. 3(b) shows a right side view of a pet dog wearing the pet suspenders 1 at the moment when the dog straightens its back and stretches its hind legs in the air backwards while sprinting.
[0033] When a dog wearing the pet suspenders 1 exercises vigorously, for example, when running at full speed, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the dog bends its back muscles, bends its hind legs forward, and kicks the ground, then stretches its back muscles, stretches its hind legs backward in the air, and moves forward, as shown in FIG. 3(b). Then, the process from FIG. 3(a) to FIG. 3(b) is repeated. At this time, if we focus on the pet diaper 2 worn on the rear torso of the dog, in the case shown in FIG. 3(a), the dog's back muscles are bent, so the lower side of the pet diaper (the part connected to the lower clip 50) moves forward and the upper side of the pet diaper 2 (the part connected to the upper clip 60) moves backward, compared to the standing state (see FIG. 2(b)). On the other hand, in the case shown in FIG. 3(b), the dog's back muscles are straightened, so the lower side of the pet diaper 2 moves backward and the upper side of the pet diaper 2 moves forward, compared to the standing state (see FIG. 2(b)).
[0034] In this case, the strings 40 of the pet suspenders 1 are passed through the holes 21 provided in the metal ring 20 and are connected to the metal ring 20 in a freely movable manner. Therefore, even when the patient bends his / her back and the upper side of the pet diaper 2 moves backward while the lower side of the pet diaper 2 moves forward as shown in Figure 3(a), the strings 40 can move freely, thereby shortening the length of the strings 40 from the metal ring 20 to the lower clip 50 and lengthening the length of the strings 40 from the metal ring 20 to the upper clip 60, thereby distributing the tension applied to the strings 40. Furthermore, even when the back is straightened and the upper side of the pet diaper 2 moves forward while the lower side of the pet diaper 2 moves backward, as shown in Figure 3(b), the string 40 moves freely, thereby lengthening the length of the string 40 from the metal ring 20 to the lower clip 50 and shortening the length of the string from the metal ring 20 to the upper clip 60, thereby distributing the tension applied to the string 40.
[0035] In this way, regardless of the dog's movement, the tension applied to the string 40 is distributed, so that the string 40 can always maintain an appropriate level of tension, and since tension is unlikely to be applied to only one of the lower clip 50 and the upper clip 60 provided at the end of the string 40, the lower clip 50 and the upper clip 60 can be prevented from coming off the pet diaper 2.
[0036] As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 1(b), the cross-sectional shape of the inner circumferential surface of the hole 21 of the metal ring 20 is curved as a whole so as to be convex toward the center of the hole 21, forming a curved surface 22. This allows the string 40 passed through the hole 21 to move freely, and therefore the tension applied to the string 40 can be distributed more smoothly.
[0037] Therefore, according to the pet suspenders 1 of the first embodiment, even if the dog exercises vigorously, the tension applied to the strings 40 is distributed, so that the strings 40 can always maintain an appropriate tension, and tension is unlikely to be applied to only one of the lower clip 50 and the upper clip 60 provided at the end of the strings 40, and the lower clip 50 and the upper clip 60 can be prevented from coming off the pet diaper 2, so that the pet suspenders 1 are unlikely to come off the pet diaper 2. Also, even if the pet diaper 2 is worn with the wrapping adjusted loosely, the pet suspenders 1 make it difficult for the pet to come off, so that the dog can feel less stressed when wearing the pet diaper 2.
[0038] <Second embodiment> In the above-mentioned first embodiment, the pet suspenders 1 are attached to the waistband 5, but they can be attached to a collar 6. In this case, the pet suspenders 1A shown in FIG.
[0039] (Pet description) As shown in FIG. 5(a), the pet dog in the second embodiment is wearing a general commercially available collar 5 and a general commercially available pet diaper 2.
[0040] (Pet Suspenders 1A Description) The pet suspenders 1A will be described with reference to Figs. 4, 5(b), and 6. Fig. 4 shows a plan view of the pet suspenders 1. Figs. 5(b) and 6 show schematic diagrams of the pet suspenders 1A worn by a pet dog. The pet suspenders 1 are mainly composed of two suspender bodies 7A.
[0041] (Suspender body 7A explanation) The suspender body 7A will be described with reference to Figs. 4, 5(b), and 6. Fig. 4 shows a plan view of the suspender body 7A. Figs. 5(b) and 6 show schematic diagrams of the suspender body 7A worn by a pet dog. Figs. 5(b) and 6 show the suspender body 7A placed on the right side of the pet dog. The suspender body 7A is also placed on the left side of the pet dog in the same manner as the right side (not shown). The suspender body 7A is mainly composed of a metal ring 20, first connecting parts 30A, 30B, a string body 40A, a lower clip 50, and an upper clip 60.
[0042] (Explanation of first connecting portions 30A, 30B) The first connecting parts 30A and 30B will be described with reference to Figs. 4, 5(b), and 6. Fig. 4 shows a plan view of the first connecting parts 30A and 30B. Figs. 5(b) and 6 show schematic diagrams of the first connecting parts 30A and 30B constituting the suspender body 7A. The first connecting part 30A is a member for connecting the metal ring 20 to the collar 6, and is composed of a hook 32 and a belt 31. The first connecting part 30B is a member for connecting the metal ring 20 to the collar 6, and is composed of a hook 32 and a belt 31. The hook 31 is a connecting member for connecting to the collar 6, and uses a carabiner-type hook. The hook 31 can be attached to the collar 6 by pushing down a gate biased in the opening direction to form an opening, and inserting the collar 6 into the opening. The belt 31 is a member for connecting the metal ring 20 to the hook 32, and is made of nylon fibers twisted into a belt shape. One end of the belt 31 is connected to the metal ring 20 and the other end is connected to the base end of the hook 32. In this embodiment, the metal ring 20 and the collar 6 are connected by two first connecting parts 30A, 30B, but in the present invention, the first connecting part may be one or more.
[0043] (Explanation of string 40A) The string 40A will be described with reference to Figs. 4, 5(b), and 6. Fig. 4 shows a plan view of the string 40A. Figs. 5(b) and 6 show schematic diagrams of the string 40A constituting the suspender body 7A. The string 40A is set to be longer than the string 40 of the first embodiment. The rest is the same as the first embodiment.
[0044] The other members are the same as those in the first embodiment described above, so they are denoted by the same reference numerals and their explanations are omitted.
[0045] <How to wear the Pet Suspenders 1A> A method of wearing the pet suspenders 1A will be described. FIG. 5(a) shows a right side view of a pet dog wearing a collar 6 and a pet diaper 2 and standing up. FIG. 5(b) shows a right side view of a pet dog wearing the pet suspenders 1A and standing up. The pet dog is wearing a collar 6 and a pet diaper 2 in advance. First, the owner prepares one of the two suspender bodies 7A and attaches it to the right side of the pet dog. The owner pushes down the gate of the hook 32 of the first connecting part 30A to form an opening, inserts the pet dog's collar 6 into the opening near the upper side, and returns the push-down to attach it. Next, the owner pushes down the gate of the hook 32 of the first connecting part 30B to form an opening, and inserts the pet dog's collar 6 into the opening near the lower side, and returns the push-down to attach it. The connection between the first connecting portions 30A, 30B of the suspender body 7A and the collar 6 is completed.
[0046] Next, the lower clip 50 and upper clip 60 of the suspender body 7A are aligned along the right side of the dog's body so that they are positioned behind the dog, and the open end of the lower clip 50 clamps the lower portion of the side of the pet diaper 2. Next, the open end of the upper clip 60 clamps the upper portion of the side of the pet diaper 2. The metal ring 20 is positioned on the right side of the dog's body with the opening of the hole 21 facing the side of the dog's body. The connection between the suspender body 7A and the pet diaper 2 is complete.
[0047] Next, the owner prepares another suspender body 7A and attaches it to the right side of the dog's body in the same manner as the procedure for attaching it to the right side. This completes the installation of the pet suspenders 1A.
[0048] <Operation description of Pet Suspenders 1A> The operation of the pet suspenders 1A worn on a pet dog as described above will now be described. Fig. 6(a) shows a right side view of a pet dog wearing the pet suspenders 1A at the moment when the dog hunches its back and kicks the ground while sprinting. Fig. 6(b) shows a right side view of a pet dog wearing the pet suspenders 1A at the moment when the dog straightens its back and stretches its hind legs in the air backwards while sprinting.
[0049] When a dog wearing the pet suspenders 1A exercises vigorously, for example, when running at full speed, as shown in FIG. 6(a), the dog bends its back muscles, bends its hind legs forward, and kicks the ground, then stretches its back muscles and stretches its hind legs backward in the air, as shown in FIG. 6(b), and moves forward. Then, the process from FIG. 6(a) to FIG. 6(b) is repeated. At this time, if we focus on the pet diaper 2 worn on the rear torso of the dog, in the case shown in FIG. 6(a), the dog's back muscles are bent, so the lower side of the pet diaper 2 (the part connected to the lower clip 50) moves forward, and the upper side of the pet diaper 2 (the part connected to the upper clip 60) moves backward, compared to the standing state (see FIG. 5(b)). On the other hand, in the case shown in FIG. 6(b), the dog's back muscles are straightened, so the lower side of the pet diaper 2 moves backward, and the upper side of the pet diaper 2 moves forward, compared to the standing state (see FIG. 5(b)).
[0050] In this case, the strings 40A of the pet suspenders 1A are passed through the holes 21 provided in the metal ring 20 and are connected to the metal ring 20 in a freely movable manner. Therefore, even when the patient bends his or her back and the upper side of the pet diaper 2 moves backward and the lower side of the pet diaper 2 moves forward, as shown in Figure 6(a), the strings 40A can move freely, shortening the length of the strings 40A from the metal ring 20 to the lower clip 50 and lengthening the length of the strings 40A from the metal ring 20 to the upper clip 60, thereby dispersing the tension applied to the strings 40A. Furthermore, even when the back is straightened and the upper side of the pet diaper 2 moves forward while the lower side of the pet diaper 2 moves backward, as shown in Figure 6(b), the string 40A moves freely, thereby lengthening the length of the string 40A from the metal ring 20 to the lower clip 50 and shortening the length of the string 40A from the metal ring 20 to the upper clip 60, thereby distributing the tension applied to the string 40A.
[0051] In this way, regardless of the dog's movement, the tension applied to the string 40A is distributed, so that the string 40A can always maintain an appropriate level of tension, and since tension is unlikely to be applied to only one of the lower clip 50 and the upper clip 60 provided at the end of the string 40A, the lower clip 50 and the upper clip 60 can be prevented from coming off the pet diaper 2.
[0052] As in the first embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the inner circumferential surface of the hole 21 of the metal ring 20 is curved as a whole so as to be convex toward the center of the hole 21, forming a curved surface 22, which allows the string 40A passed through the hole 21 to move freely, and therefore the tension applied to the string 40A can be distributed more smoothly.
[0053] Therefore, according to the pet suspenders 1A of the second embodiment, even if the dog exercises vigorously, the tension applied to the strings 40A is distributed, so that the strings 40A can always maintain an appropriate tension, and tension is unlikely to be applied to only one of the lower clip 50 and the upper clip 60 provided at the end of the strings 40A, and the lower clip 50 and the upper clip 60 can be prevented from coming off the pet diaper 2, so that the pet suspenders 1A are unlikely to come off the pet diaper 2. In addition, even if the pet diaper 2 is worn with the wrapping adjusted loosely, the pet suspenders 1A makes it difficult for the pet to come off, so that the dog can feel less stress when wearing the pet diaper 2.
[0054] <Other embodiments> The strings 40, 40A in the first and second embodiments described above may be provided with a length adjustment function. With this configuration, there is no need to replace the strings as the dog grows, and the strings can be attached to other dogs of different builds. Also, the belts 31 of the first connecting parts 30A, 30B in the second embodiment described above may be provided with a length adjustment function. With this configuration, there is no need to replace the strings as the dog grows, and the strings can be attached to other dogs of different builds.
[0055] In the first and second embodiments, the dog is fitted with the harness 5 and collar 6 in advance, but the pet suspenders of the present invention may be configured as components that are equipped with the harness or collar in advance. By configuring in this way, the pet suspenders can be attached to a dog that is not wearing a harness or collar, and the same effects as those of the first and second embodiments can be obtained.
[0056] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments and examples, and the technical scope of the claims of the utility model registration includes various modified forms of the design within the scope that does not deviate from the gist of the invention.
