Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a harness for pets such as dogs and cats. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, harness materials for pet animals such as dogs and cats have been made from natural leather, artificial leather, woven fabrics (see Patent Document 1), and composite materials of these. However, in recent years, as the bond between animals and their owners has grown, decorative harnesses have become more popular, and in response to this, harnesses with various patterns on the surface are now on the market.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3197630 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To provide a harness material for pets which can be easily and inexpensively decorated with more varied designs, patterns, etc., and which is stain-resistant and can be easily cleaned. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention will be described below with reference to the reference numerals in the accompanying drawings, but is not limited thereto. To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a pet harness (1) comprising a natural leather layer made of natural leather, a core layer bonded to the natural leather layer, and a laminated fabric layer bonded to the core layer, with the outer edges of the layers cut to a predetermined shape being sewn together. The core layer is made of ungrained artificial leather on both sides. The laminated fabric layer is made of a woven fabric substrate with a printed pattern, the front side of which is coated with resin, and the woven fabric substrate is bonded to the core layer. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] In the pet harness material of this invention, the surface layer is composed of laminated fabric, so the resin coating on the surface prevents dirt from seeping into and damaging the decorative pattern on the textile substrate, and dirt on the resin coating surface can be easily wiped off, maintaining the original beauty for a long time. The laminated fabric itself is thin and prone to tearing under external forces during use, but it is reinforced by the toughness and flexibility of the artificial leather core material bonded to the textile substrate, allowing it to withstand long-term use. Since the artificial leather is not grained on either the front or back, it blends in with the texture of the textile substrate and adheres firmly. Natural leather is then bonded to the lower layer of the artificial leather core material, further strengthening the material and creating a luxurious feel. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] 1 is an unfolded plan view of a harness for small dogs using the harness material of the present invention. [Figure 2] 2A and 2B are enlarged cross-sectional views of a portion of the harness taken along line II-II in FIG. 1, where (a) shows an embodiment in which the natural leather layer is formed from two pieces of natural leather, and (b) shows an embodiment in which the natural leather layer is formed from one piece of natural leather. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows a harness 101 for small dogs that uses a harness material 1 according to the present invention. In the figure, the dog puts its front legs through two eyeglass-shaped loops 102, 103 and wraps bands 104, 105 around its neck to put on the harness. Note that the shape of the harness using the harness material 1 of the present invention is not limited to that shown in the figure.

[0009] Figure 2 shows a cross section of the II-II portion in Figure 1, but the thickness of each layer has been exaggerated for the purpose of explanation and is not based on the actual dimensional proportions. This harness material 1 is formed by punching out a sheet-like material having the same overall cross-sectional structure into a predetermined shape using a punching die, and then sewing 5 the peripheral edges.

[0010] As shown in Fig. 2(a), the harness material 1 comprises a natural leather layer 2 made of natural leather, a core material layer 3 adhered onto the natural leather layer 2, and a laminated fabric layer 4 adhered onto the core material layer 3. The periphery is sewn for reinforcement.

[0011] The core layer 3 is made of artificial leather with no grain finish on either side. The laminated fabric layer 4 is preferably 0.3 to 0.5 mm thick and is made by resin-coating the front side of a woven fabric substrate with a printed pattern, with the woven fabric substrate side adhered to the core layer 3. If the core layer 3 is too thick, the feel of use of the natural leather layer 2 will be impaired.

[0012] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2(a), the natural leather layer 2 is made up of first and second natural leathers 21 and 22, with the grain surfaces 21a and 22a facing outwards and the floor surfaces 21b and 22b bonded together.

[0013] The core layer 3 is adhered to the grain surface 22a of the natural leather layer 2. The core layer 3 is made of artificial leather with neither the front nor back grain surfaces processed. The core layer 3 reinforces the laminated fabric layer 4 and is required to have the rigidity, toughness, and elasticity to support the laminated fabric layer 4 and fit snugly on the natural leather layer 2. If the thickness is too thin, the laminated fabric layer 4 will not be reinforced or able to maintain its shape, while if it is too thick, the product will be too thick and will also increase costs. Experiments have shown that using artificial leather with a thickness of 0.3 to 0.6 mm produced good results.

[0014] The artificial leather is made by impregnating a nonwoven fabric made of ultrafine thermoplastic synthetic fibers with a polymeric elastomer such as polyurethane resin, and preferably is artificial leather manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd., under the trade name CLARINO (registered trademark), either before the grain surface is applied or by slicing the base side after the grain surface has been applied.

[0015] In the embodiment shown in Figure 2(b), the natural leather layer 2 is made up of one piece of natural leather 21. Whether one or two pieces of natural leather are used depends on the size of the dog to which it is applied. When using one piece of natural leather 21, the grain surface 21a is placed downward, and the laminated fabric layer 4 is adhered to the base surface 21b via the core layer 3.

[0016] To produce a variety of harnesses with different surface decorative patterns by bonding only two pieces of natural leather together, it is necessary to prepare a variety of natural leathers with different patterns. It is costly for a harness maker to prepare a variety of natural leathers with different patterns, but since laminated fabrics with a wide variety of patterns are commercially available, a variety of harnesses with different patterns can be produced inexpensively by selecting from these.

[0017] Furthermore, since the surface is made of laminated fabric 4, the water repellency of the resin coating on the surface prevents dirt from seeping into the decorative pattern of the fabric substrate and damaging it, and dirt on the surface can be easily wiped off, so the original beauty can be maintained for a long period of time.
