Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a towel for pets, which is used to preferably absorb moisture attached to the pet's hair and quickly dry it.

Background Art

[0002] After shampooing pets such as dogs and cats, or after taking a walk during rainfall, moisture adheres to the pet's hair. If the wet hair is left unattended, various problems will occur.

[0003] For example, problems such as the pet's body temperature dropping and its physical condition deteriorating, the risk of causing skin problems, the hair being prone to tangling, being likely to cause the pet's unpleasant odor, and leading to the pet's stress may occur.

[0004] Also, problems such as the attached moisture remaining indoors and the pet shaking its body and splashing the moisture around may occur.

[0005] Furthermore, when wiping the moisture attached to the pet's hair with a towel, the pet may dislike being wiped and run away. Moreover, even if successful in wiping, if the amount of moisture exceeds the water absorption capacity of a single towel, multiple towels will be required.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to preferably absorb the moisture attached to the pet's hair and quickly dry it.

[0007] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a pet bath towel made of a towel fabric in a bag shape having an opening, and the opening width can be adjusted, aiming to provide a pet bath towel that can shorten the time of using a dryer and avoid water droplets from splashing after washing a pet dog or the like.

[0008] In such a bath towel for pets, since it is formed in a bag shape, it is necessary to put the pet into the bag-shaped main body through the opening, which is time-consuming. Also, if the timing for adjusting the opening degree of the opening is incorrect, there is a risk that the accommodated pet may escape from the opening.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0010] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a towel for pets that is used to preferably absorb and quickly dry the moisture attached to the pet's hair.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0011] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes a towel main body formed of a water-absorbent fabric. At one end of the towel main body, a neck part through which the pet's head can be inserted and removed is formed. In the towel main body, a slit starting from the neck part and ending at the other end of the towel main body is formed. In the neck part, a string insertion part through which a string is inserted is provided, and a string fixing member for adjusting and fixing the length of the string inserted through the string insertion part is provided. The opening size of the neck part is configured to be adjustable.

[0012] According to the present invention, since the towel main body is formed of a water-absorbent fabric, it is possible to preferably absorb and remove the moisture attached to the hair of pets such as dogs and cats after shampooing or after walking in the rain.

[0013] In addition, since a neck portion through which the head of the pet can be inserted and removed is formed in the towel body, the pet towel can be easily attached to the pet's body simply by putting the pet's head into the neck portion.

[0014] Furthermore, since a slit starting from the neck portion and ending at the other end of the towel body is formed in the towel body, the pet towel does not have a tubular or bag shape, but rather exhibits a cape shape or a poncho shape. Therefore, it can be easily put on the pet's body from the slit portion, and since the slit is formed, the movement of the pet is less restricted, so it can be used comfortably.

[0015] Furthermore, the neck portion is provided with a string insertion portion through which a string is inserted, and has a string fixing member for adjusting and fixing the length of the string inserted through the string insertion portion, and is configured to be able to adjust the opening size of the neck portion. Therefore, after putting the pet's head into the neck portion, by adjusting and fixing the length of the string to correspond to the pet's neck, the opening size of the neck portion can be adjusted to fit the pet's neck.

[0016] Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pet's head from slipping out of the neck portion, and it is possible to securely attach the pet towel to the pet. Also, even if the pet shakes its body to shake off the moisture adhering to its fur, it is possible to prevent the displacement or detachment of the wearing position of the pet towel.

[0017] The pet towel having the above configuration, wherein an insertion opening is opened in the string insertion portion, the tip of the string is drawn outwards from the insertion opening, and the string fixing member includes a string guiding portion and a stopper, and the tip of the string is inserted into the string guiding portion and fixed by the stopper at a length corresponding to the pet's neck.

[0018] According to this configuration, by pulling out the string drawn out from the insertion opening by a desired length and fixing the tip of the string inserted into the string guide portion of the string fixing member with a stopper, the opening size of the neck portion can be easily adjusted.

Advantages of the Invention

[0019] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a towel for pets that is preferably used to absorb moisture attached to the pet's hair and quickly dry it.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the whole towel for pets according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the towel for pets shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the towel for pets shown in FIG. 2 with the slit opened, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the string fixing member used for the towel for pets of the present embodiment, FIG. 5 shows the initial state of attaching the towel for pets according to the present embodiment to a pet, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the state where it is completely attached to a pet.

[0023] The pet towel 1 of this embodiment mainly consists of a towel body 10 formed of a water-absorbent fabric, a neck portion 3 through which the pet's head can be inserted and removed, a string insertion portion 4 formed in the neck portion 3, a string A inserted through the string insertion portion 4, and a string fixing member 5 for adjusting and fixing the length of the string A.

[0024] The towel body 10 is formed of a water-absorbent fabric, and a material such as microfiber is preferably used.

[0025] A neck portion 3 through which the pet's head can be inserted and removed is formed at one end portion 11 of the towel body 10. The neck portion 3 only needs to be able to insert and remove the pet's head. For example, in the case of a dog, it may be formed to about 50 cm for a general medium-sized dog. However, since there are individual differences depending on the type of pet, it is not particularly limited.

[0026] In addition, a slit 2 starting from the neck portion 3 and ending at the other end portion 12 of the towel body 10 is formed in the towel body 10. For this reason, the towel body 10 does not have a cylindrical or bag shape, but exhibits a cape shape or a poncho shape. Therefore, it can be easily put on the pet's body from the slit 2 portion, and since it restricts the pet's movement less, it can be used comfortably.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the slit 2 is preferably formed such that a part of the fabric of the towel body 10 overlaps in the neck portion 3. When formed in this way, when the pet towel 1 is put on the pet, a part of the pet's neck can be overlapped and covered, so the effect of preventing the scattering of water droplets is high, and it is possible to preferably absorb and remove the moisture attached to the pet's fur.

[0028] The head circumferential part 3 is provided at one end 11 of the towel body 10, and a string insertion part 4 is formed by folding back the leading edge of the towel body 10 and sewing it in a bag shape. The method of forming the string insertion part 4 is not limited to folding back and sewing the leading edge of the towel body 10. For example, it may be possible to attach a separate member in the shape of a hollow belt through which a string can be inserted to the towel body 10.

[0029] An insertion opening 40 for pulling out the inserted string A to the outside is opened in the string insertion part 4. And the length of the string A is adjusted by fixing the string A pulled out to the outside from the insertion opening 40 with a string fixing member 5, so that the size of the head circumferential part 3 can be adjusted.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 4, the string fixing member 5 includes a string fixing member main body 51 formed of a spherical body having a main body side hole part 50 formed therein, a spring 54 attached inside the string fixing member main body 51, and a stopper 53. A stopper side hole part 530 is formed in the stopper 53 at a position corresponding to the main body side hole part 50, and it is configured to be slidable inside the string fixing member main body 51. The main body side hole part 50 is formed so as to penetrate the string fixing member main body 51, and the stopper side hole part 530 is formed so as to penetrate the stopper 53. In a posture where the stopper 53 is pressed down and the spring 54 is pressed by the tip of the stopper 53, the main body side hole part 50 and the stopper side hole part 530 overlap, and the string A is inserted through both hole parts. A string guiding part 52 is formed where the main body side hole part 50 and the stopper side hole part 530 overlap and the string A is inserted into the string fixing member 5.

[0031] On the other hand, when the force pressing down the stopper 53 is released, the stopper 53 slides due to the biasing force of the spring 54 and moves in a direction in which the lower end part 531 of the stopper side hole part 530 approaches the upper end part 501 of the main body side hole part 50. Therefore, the string A is clamped and fixed by the main body side hole part 50 and the stopper side hole part 530.

[0032] Therefore, the string A can be inserted or fixed by a simple operation of pressing down or releasing the pressing of the stopper 53.

[0033] In this way, by appropriately adjusting the length of the string A that is pulled out from the insertion opening 40 and inserted into the string guide portion 52 and fixing it with the stopper 53, the opening size of the neck portion 3 can be easily adjusted.

[0034] Note that the adjustment of the opening size of the neck portion 3 is not limited to the above configuration. For example, a string having elasticity may be inserted into the string insertion portion 4 of the neck portion 3 to adjust the opening size of the neck portion 3 to a length corresponding to the head of the pet. At the start of use, it may be made such that the head of the pet can be inserted.

[0035] For the string A, for example, a polyester material is preferably used, but it is not particularly limited.

[0036] Also, tags regarding the brand name, quality indication, etc. may be sewn on the front or back surface of the towel body 10.

[0037] Next, the usage method of the pet towel 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0038] After shampooing a pet such as a dog or a cat, or after taking a walk during rainfall, as shown in FIG. 5, the pet towel 1 with the string A in the neck portion 3 in an open state is put on the pet's head so as to cover it. Since the slit 2 is formed in the pet towel 1, it has a cape shape or a poncho shape and can be quickly put on the pet.

[0039] Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the opening size of the neck portion 3 is adjusted by squeezing the string A inserted through the neck portion 3. That is, the string A is pulled out to a desired length outside the insertion opening 40 of the neck portion 3 and fixed with the string fixing member 5.

[0040] Here, by pressing the stopper 53, the spring 54 is compressed. When the string A inserted into the string guide portion 52 reaches a desired length and the pressing of the stopper 53 is released, the biasing force of the spring 54 attached inside the string fixing member main body 51 acts, and the string A is clamped and fixed between the main body side hole portion 50 and the stopper side hole portion 530.

[0041] As described above, for the pet towel 1 of the present invention, by putting the pet into the towel main body 10 from the head, adjusting and fixing the length of the string A to correspond to around the pet's neck, the opening size of the neck portion 3 can be adjusted, and the towel main body 10 can be easily attached to the pet.

[0042] And in the attached state, the moisture adhering to the pet's fur can be quickly wiped off. Also, since the pet is not restricted except around the neck, it can be used comfortably.

[0043] Furthermore, the opening size of the neck portion 3 can be adjusted with a single touch of pressing or releasing the stopper 53 of the string fixing member 5, so the operation is simple.

[0044] Therefore, with the pet towel 1 having a simple structure, the moisture adhering to the pet's fur can be easily removed.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope shown in the claims. Embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the technical means disclosed in different embodiments are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
