Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to an in-car pet lead holder that can prevent the fastener from coming off or breaking and can securely tie a dog inside a car. This is a lead auxiliary device that assists in the lead used to tie up a pet such as a dog, and it relates to a lead auxiliary device that allows a pet such as a dog to be easily and reliably tied up within a certain distance to a standing tree, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] It is common to drive with pets, especially dogs, in cars, but they are usually in the car with people, and the reality is that the dog is free to move around inside the car. For this reason, the driver is often distracted by the dog's movements while driving, which leads to neglecting safe driving and causing accidents.

[0003] When driving a car with a pet dog, just as humans wear seat belts for safety, it is necessary to have a means to tie the dog down in the car and ensure its safety to reduce injury in the event of an impact. Generally, dog car harnesses are used in combination with existing car seat belts to tie dogs down. Conventionally, when walking or tying up a pet such as a dog, one end of the lead is attached to a collar attached to the dog, and the person accompanying the dog holds the handle of the lead, or the loop on the handle is hooked onto a pole, tree, etc. However, poles and trees come in various diameters and heights, and when it is difficult to hook the loop on the handle of the lead, there is no other way to tie the handle of the lead to a pole or tree, but the knot is easily untied, and when it does come undone, it can lead to a dangerous situation in which the dog runs away with the lead still attached to the collar.

[0004] In addition, it is impossible to adjust the length of the lead after it has been tethered to a tree or the like, and there is also the problem that the length of the lead when tethered to a tree or the like allows the dog or other animal to move around in a too wide range.

[0005] Also, several tethers for tying up pets such as dogs in automobiles have been proposed. Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 propose a car case for pets that can keep pets in a designated position while preventing the interior of the car from becoming soiled due to the pet riding in the car. The invention in Patent Document 3 proposes a pet car seat in which the seat has a seat and a backrest, a connecting belt is fixed to the backrest and a fastener is provided on the connecting belt, the seat is provided with a seat fixing means for fixing the seat inside the automobile, and a connector provided on a harness or collar worn by a dog seated in the seat is connected to the fastener of the connecting belt. The invention of Patent Document 4 proposes a pet seat for an automobile comprising a storage body for storing and tethering a pet, a platform to which the storage body is attached and detached, and a platform support means for adjusting the height of the platform and fixing it to the automobile seat.

[0007] However, the pet car case according to Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2 is placed on the seat of the car seat with the pet's safety in mind, so it is thought that it gives the pet a sense of claustrophobia and causes considerable stress. Although the pet car seat according to Patent Document 3 and the pet car seat according to Patent Document 4 can raise the pet's line of sight above the door window and allow the owner to enjoy the changing scenery seen from the window together with the pet, the pet is almost fixed on the seat, so the problem of being unable to move freely and causing stress for the pet remains.

[0008] In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a pet lead holder for pets, particularly dogs, which allows the driver to avoid being distracted by the dog's movements while driving the car, and allows the dog or other pet to move around freely at least in the back seat and on the back floor without being restrained more than necessary, thereby providing a stress-free in-car pet lead holder. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] Another pet lead holder according to the present invention is a pet lead holder for tethering the handle side of a lead for tying up a pet such as a dog inside a car, and is characterized in that it comprises a thread or thin string, a ring passing through the thread or thin string, a housing, and a fixing means, and the fixing means is provided at one end of the thread or thin string, the housing is fixed to the upper part of one of the window panes on the rear seat side of the car, the housing has a winding rod supported within the housing so as to be rotatable by a central shaft, the thread or thin string is wound around the winding rod and stored therein, and the thread or thin string is pulled out by rotating the winding rod, and the fixing means is attached above the window pane on the opposite side to the one window pane.

[0011] The aforementioned fixing means may be a handle installed on the top of the window glass on the rear seat side of the automobile, i.e., a hook that can be hooked onto an arm grip, or a suction cup that sucks the window glass on the rear seat side of the automobile. Effect of the Invention

[0012] This device is a pet lead holder for pets, especially dogs, which is installed above the left and right windows of the back seat, and the pet harness is attached to the ring of the pet lead holder, so that the driver does not have to pay attention to the movement of the dog while the car is moving, and the dog or other pet is not restrained more than necessary and can move around freely at least in the back seat and the back floor, which is safe and beneficial for both the driver and the pet.
