Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an adjustable combination pet product, and particularly to an adjustable combination pet product that allows a pet to rest and sharpen its claws.

Background Art

[0002] With the development of the economy, keeping pets has become the mainstream in modern society, and the number of people who attach importance to the quality of pet life is gradually increasing. However, if the pet being kept has the habit of sharpening its claws, there is a problem of damaging furniture. When sharpening claws on easily breakable items such as wires in the house, it not only causes economic losses to the pet owner but also raises safety concerns. In view of this problem, products such as nail clipping boards that can be used by pets with the habit of sharpening claws are commercially available. However, such nail clipping boards generally consist of a single consumable that is difficult to fix, and their usage functions are not ideal. Also, since such nail clipping boards are cut and formed, there is also a problem that the remaining materials are wasted.

[0003] To improve the above-mentioned problems, a new type of nail clipping board different from the conventional nail clipping board which was a single consumable has already been commercially available. This consists of laminated cardboard, and by different arrangement methods, it has different appearances, allowing pets to sharpen their claws and also rest. Due to its special appearance, it attracts the attention of pets and has high usage functions. Also, some nail clipping boards, during the process of cutting and laminating, form the cardboard into various different sizes, laminate and adhere them, so that nail clipping boards with different volumes can be obtained, increasing the options for pet owners and preventing the remaining materials from being wasted after cutting the raw materials. However, such conventional pet products had the following drawbacks (1) to (3).

[0004] (1) Since the base was formed by laminating and adhering cardboard, when a pet sharpens its claws, there is a risk that the adhesive at the adhered part will be scratched out and the pet will accidentally ingest it. If the pet ingests the adhesive, it will threaten the pet's health and also impose a financial burden on the owner. For the manufacturer, pet supplies made by adhering with adhesives increase the labor cost, and it is also necessary to remove the excess adhesive after adhesion, so the labor cost and time involved cannot be ignored, and the adhesive was easily affected by external factors. Here, external factors refer to, for example, a high-humidity environment or being subjected to a large external force, which can reduce the performance of the adhesive, making it impossible to properly adhere the cardboard, and there is also a risk that the adhesive will leak and the pet will accidentally ingest it, and the owner has to spend a lot of money to replace the product. (2) When the manufacturer ships the product, since the size of the product is standardized, the overall thickness and width of the product cannot be freely adjusted. If the pet's body size is too large, there is a risk that the pet cannot rest on the purchased product. Also, if the pet's physique is too small, the size of the purchased product is too large, which becomes an unnecessary financial burden for the owner. Moreover, assuming that the pet's body size will increase in the future and purchasing a larger product in advance also takes up a large space, there is a problem of inconvenient storage. (3) In the case of already adhered laminated cardboard, the pet can use it just by placing it, but for the owner, it is monotonous and lacks the fun of making it by oneself.

[0005] In view of such a situation, as a result of intensive research by the inventor, a adjustable combined pet supply that can be freely adjusted according to the size of the pet being raised, can be manufactured without using any adhesives, and has a stable structure has been completed.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each figure, those denoted by the same reference numerals have the same or similar configurations.

[0016] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 13. FIGS. 1 to 13 show that the adjustable combined pet supply according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base 1 and a plurality of fixing plates 2.

[0017] A plurality of through holes 11 are formed in two end faces of the base 1.

[0018] The plurality of fixing plates 2 are detachably laminated on the base 1. Each fixing plate 2 has a plurality of fixing holes 21 corresponding to each through hole 11. The base 1 is configured by detachably laminating a plurality of cardboard sheets 40, and a plurality of fixing sets 3 are respectively inserted through each fixing hole 21 and each through hole 11 and detachably assembled and fixed. By detaching and attaching each fixing set 3, the number of laminated cardboard sheets 40 can be changed. It should be noted that the drawings referred to in the description of this specification are only for reference purposes and do not limit the present invention in any way.

[0019] In this embodiment, the cardboard 40 is cut to form different standard sizes, and these are continuously laminated to form bases 1 of different sizes. The cardboard 40 used may be thick cardboard or corrugated cardboard. This type of cardboard 40 can extend the service life of the product and reduce the replacement cost. Such a cutting method cuts the same cardboard 40 into different standard sizes, preventing waste of leftover materials. At the same time, the owner can select and purchase bases 1 of different standards according to the size of the pet. Since the owner can release the fixed state of the fixing set 3 and store the cardboard 40, the fixing set 3, and the fixing plate 2 separately, there is high flexibility during sorting and installation. To solve the problems that the pet scratches and breaks the outer surface of the product, making the appearance of the product poor, or the pet hits the product and moves, hitting other items and causing danger, the fixing plate 2 may be used. This fixing plate 2 has different standards corresponding to bases 1 of different sizes. According to the difference in the size of the fixing plate 2, the fixing holes 21 correspond to the perforations 11 of bases 1 of different standards. When the cardboard 40 is sandwiched between the fixing plates 2 and the fixing set 3 is inserted through the fixing holes 21 and the perforations 11, the fixing plate 2 and the base 1 are combined to prevent the outer surface of the base 1 from being damaged under the influence of external force. Also, because it has a certain weight, it prevents the pet from hitting and moving, preventing the risk of danger when hitting other items, greatly enhancing the structural stability and preventing collapse. After the assembly is completed, the pet can use the side of the base 1 to sharpen its claws. Compared with pet supplies manufactured by the conventional adhesive method, its safety is high. The owner does not need to worry about the pet scratching out the adhesive and accidentally swallowing it, nor is there a worry that the performance of the adhesive will decline due to the living environment and the product effect will be lost. During the use process of the product, the owner can assemble the product himself and give it to the pet to obtain entertainment and a sense of achievement. According to the activity environment space, personal needs, etc., multiple sets of bases 1 of the same size or different sizes can be arranged and combined or used alone. By releasing the fixed state of the fixing set 3, the thickness of the cardboard 40 can be increased or decreased for assembly to make the product closer to the actual body shape of the pet.In addition, during the manufacturing process, the need for an adhesive is eliminated, which can significantly reduce the labor cost for the manufacturer. Moreover, since there is no need to remove the excess adhesive after bonding as was required in the past, time can be saved. Also, since the product specifications after bonding are consistent, the problem that the pet owner could not move and had to make adjustments is eliminated (see Figures 1 to 13).

[0020] In addition, to ensure the stability after the assembly of the base 1 is completed, each fixing set 3 may further include a screw rod 31 and a plurality of fixing members 32. Each screw rod 31 is inserted through each fixing hole 21 and each perforation 11 respectively. Each fixing member 32 is detachably attached to both ends of each screw rod 31 to fix the fixing plate 2 and the base 1. After the assembly of the product is completed, its structure is prevented from deforming even when an external force is applied. Also, the assembly of the fixing member 32 and the screw rod 31 may be performed by means such as engagement, fitting, screwing, etc. so that the pet owner can easily couple or release the screw rod 31 and the fixing member 32 (see Figures 2 to 4).

[0021] The pet owner may stack more cardboard sheets 40 according to the size of the environment. However, in this case, there is a risk that the length of the screw rod 31 is not sufficient and it cannot be combined with the fixing member 32 to fix the structure. In that case, at least one connecting pipe 33 is further provided. One end of the connecting pipe 33 is detachably combined with each screw rod 31 or another connecting pipe 33. The other end of the connecting pipe 33 is detachably combined with each fixing member 32 or the other connecting pipe 33. The assembly method of the connecting pipe 33 with each screw rod 31, each fixing member 32 or another connecting pipe 33 may select methods such as screwing, engagement, fitting, etc. so that the pet owner can easily extend the length of the screw rod 31 and attach the fixing member 32. Under specific circumstances, since the pet owner needs to assemble many connecting pipes 33, the length specifications of the connecting pipes 33 can be made different or of a telescopic type for the pet owner to select and purchase, improving the problem that the product cannot be assembled without using many parts under special circumstances (see Figures 3 and 4).

[0022] To enhance the usage function of the product, each fixing plate 2 has an inner facing surface 22, an outer facing surface 23, and a peripheral surface 24. The outer facing surface 23 has a painting block 231. The owner can paint on the painting block 231 to arouse the pet's curiosity and draw its attention, and also enhance the usage function of the product. Further, the manufacturer may display a trademark or product-related information on the painting block 231 for the owner to refer to when purchasing the product (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 5 to 13).

[0023] To enable the owner to easily store the product and create a space for the pet to play, the base 1 has mounting holes 12 along the direction of the perforations 11. The mounting holes 12 allow the pet to play, and the size of the mounting holes 12 can be freely adjusted and combined with bases 1 of different specifications. Therefore, the owner can store and install the product more flexibly (see FIG. 13).
