Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a fixing band belt set for the medical treatment and care of cats, and more particularly, to a fixing band belt set for the medical treatment and care of cats, which prevents accidental accidents caused by the cat's psychological anxiety during the medical treatment and care of the cat, such as attacking the veterinarian with its sharp claws or teeth or touching the equipment, and allows the veterinarian to easily treat and care the cat. [Background technology]
[0002] Not only can cats scratch their faces with their hind paws and lick their genitals and anus with their mouths, but their bodies are also so flexible that they can withstand falls from heights several times their own height.
[0003] This flexibility of the body makes it more difficult to care for them as their sharp teeth and claws can reach people during care, often causing injuries to humans.
[0004] For this reason, traditional methods of subduing and immobilizing a cat include covering it with a blanket or bag. However, this has the disadvantage that most parts of the body except for the face are covered, so the types of care that can be performed while the cat is covered are extremely limited.
[0005] Looking at the conventional technology in detail, Figure 1 is a drawing comparing a human ankle bone (a) with a cat's ankle bone (b), and Figure 2 is a video and motion analysis diagram showing the motion state of the head and shoulders moving when a cat walks.
[0006] (a) and (b) shown in the drawing in Figure 1 respectively show the bones of a human arm and a cat's front leg, and the unexplained reference numbers 11 and 12 show the common snapping sites, showing the comparative anatomical similarities between humans and cats.
[0007] As shown in the drawings, in order to solve these problems that make cat care difficult, we have developed a fixing band belt set for cat medical treatment and care.
[0008] As a basic background for this study, we first studied the anatomical structure of the cat's skeleton, and then showed the morphology and position of the skeleton and joints that induce flexibility in the cat's body in the schematic diagram shown in Figure 3.
[0009] A cat's spine is made up of 7 cervical vertebrae, 13 thoracic vertebrae, 7 lumbar vertebrae, 3 sacral vertebrae, and 22-23 caudal vertebrae, which is about 20 more than humans, and therefore allows for much more flexible spinal movement than humans. Also, unlike other mammals, a cat's clavicle is very small and does not directly articulate with the scapula and sternum, allowing it to move independently, doubling its flexibility. This flexibility allows cats to jump and land easily, get into tight spaces, lick every nook and cranny of their body, and quickly assume any posture they want. Cats have sharp teeth, although their grip strength is only about 20-75 psi. Their claws are not only sharp, but can also be hidden and extended by the contraction and relaxation of the ligaments and muscles connected to the phalanges (see Figure 1).
[0010] Figure 1 is a drawing comparing the bones of a human wrist and the ankle of a cat's front leg, and shows that just as a wrist snap is used to spike a volleyball ball, a cat snaps the ankle of its front leg to perform a scratching motion.
[0011] A cat's scratching action consists of a series of complex actions: rotational movement through the socket joint between the scapula and humerus, hinge movement and slight rotational movement through the hinge joints between the humerus, hip bone and ulna, bending and slight rotational movement through the oval joint between the ulna and the ankle bone, and finally the folding and extending movement of the claws of the feet through the elastic ligaments located between the phalanges, along with the muscles involved in bending and extension running along the outside of the phalanges.
[0012] In addition, to explain the flexibility of a cat's body when walking, a motion analysis was performed and the motion was modeled as shown in Figure 2, which shows that when a cat steps out with its right front paw 1000a, its left shoulder rises and its head turns to the left, and when it steps out with its left front paw 1000b, its right shoulder rises and its head turns to the right. In this way, it was analyzed that in the case of a cat, the legs, spine, shoulders, and neck are linked together to show a continuous wave phenomenon.
[0013] Unexplained reference numeral 1000 denotes the cat's body.
[0014] In dogs, this movement appears to be very slight, while in cats, this phenomenon appears unique to them because they discovered that 1) there are a greater number of vertebrae (humans: 33, cats: 53) and 2) the clavicle is not fixed in place by articulating with other bones, but is instead connected to muscles (ligaments) and floats independently. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0015] As described above, the object of the present invention is to develop a fixing band belt set for the medical treatment and care of cats, which can block aggression in response to a threat, thereby making the medical treatment and care of cats safer.
[0016] The fixing band belt is fastened to the front of the hind leg bone centered on the abdominal part of the cat's body, providing a structure that allows the cat to lie down comfortably (without moving).
[0017] And in the case of the neck area, the object is to provide a structure that prevents the animal from attacking with its teeth in self-defense.
[0018] And in the case of the ankle area, the object is to provide a structure that prevents the user from attacking with the toenails in self-defense.
[0019] The purpose of this study is to research a material that can be easily unfolded and returned to its original state without being damaged so that the insert fixing band inserted inside the belt body applied to the fastening belt can wrap around the cat's body, making the cat feel comfortable.
[0020] Another object of the present invention is to provide a structure that quickly wraps and fixes the joints of a cat with a fixing band or a fixing ring inserted into the fixing band, and that returns to its original state after use, making the cat feel at ease. [Means for solving the problem]

[0027] The present invention is a waist fixing band belt 100 formed by integrally forming a belt body 110 having a soft female Velcro 112 formed at one end of the outside and a band winding 120 having a coarse male Velcro 122 formed on the inside, joining two outer cover fibers by sewing, and inserting a cut cylindrical plastic fixing band between the outer cover fibers of the belt body 110. The belt body 110 of the waist fixing band belt 100 is formed in a form of narrowing in width at the part where the belt body 110 and the band winding 120 are connected, and is formed at the lumbar-sacral joint 1150 formed from the lumbar vertebrae 1140 of the cat's waist to the buttocks. As used herein, the waist fixation band belt covers the lumbar vertebrae of a cat, but is located near the front side of the thigh of the hind leg, and the joint blocking member hook portion 502 of the joint blocking member 500 is sandwiched between the belt main body end 123 of the waist fixation band belt 100 and the male Velcro 122, and is wound as an intermediate separating material when the waist fixation band belt 100 is wound. The length of the joint blocking member 500 is shorter than that of the waist fixation band belt 100 by a length to form a gap portion d, thereby forming a space portion that allows the male Velcro 122 of the band winding 120 to be joined to the female Velcro 112 of the belt main body portion 110. This is a fixation band belt for medical treatment and care of cats, characterized in that
[0028] The present invention is a fixation band belt for the medical treatment and care of cats, characterized in that the ankle fixation ring body 610 of the companion animal ankle fixation ring 600 has an insertion portion 612 formed in the open part of the rounding portion 611 which is shaped like an "Ω (omega)", which is formed so as to be widened, making it easy to insert the ankle.
[0029] The ankle fixing ring 600 for companion animals of the present invention comprises an ankle fixing ring main body 610 and two anti-slip devices 620, the ankle fixing ring main body 610 has an insertion part 612 formed at the opening of an "Ω (omega)" shaped rounding part 611 which is widened to make it easy to insert the ankle, and has anti-slip device installation grooves 613 on both sides into which the anti-slip devices 620 are inserted and attached, the anti-slip device 620 is formed as a square insertion part cylinder 621 made of silicone material, but its inside is an empty space and has an insertion space part 622 formed as a cylinder hole so that the ankle fixing ring main body 610 can be inserted, and anti-slip protrusions 623 are formed to prevent slipping after the ankle is inserted. This is a fixing band belt for medical treatment and care of cats. Effect of the Invention
[0030] Therefore, the present invention has the effect of preventing a cat from moving freely by fitting a fixed band belt for medical treatment and care around the cat's waist, neck and ankles in order to block the cat's aggressiveness in response to a threat, thereby making it possible to safely treat and care the cat.
[0031] The fixing band belt is fastened to the front of the skeleton of the hind legs, centered on the abdominal part of the cat's body, to provide a structure for the cat to lie down comfortably (without moving). The waist fixing band belt covers the cat's lumbar vertebrae, but is located close to the front side of the thighs of the hind legs, so that when the cat takes a step forward with its hind legs to escape, the front part of the thigh gets caught on the corner of the sturdy belt, causing the body balance to be lost instantly and the cat to fall over of its own accord, allowing the cat to adapt gently (comfortably).
[0032] In the case of the neck, the neck fixation band belt 200 covers the area between the skull-cervical joint 1110 and the cervical-thoracic joint 1130 to provide a structure that prevents the cat from attacking with its teeth in self-defense, but by being close to the underside of the mandible, the cat cannot open its mouth through the mandibular joint 1170 and bite with its teeth, which has the effect of limiting the range and speed of head movement.
[0033] In the case of the ankles, the ankle fixing band belts 300, 400 cover the ankle joints 1180 of the left and right front paws to provide a structure that prevents the cat from attacking in self-defense with its claws, thereby helping the cat to adapt.
[0034] The outer shell of the belt itself, made of the above-mentioned cloth, is also effective in preventing injuries caused by shock or friction to the thighs, etc. due to sudden movements of the cat.
[0035] The fastening band inserted into the belt body of the fastening belt can be easily unfolded to wrap around the cat's body, but it is not damaged and can be restored to its original state, making the cat comfortable, which has the effect of allowing the cat to adapt to it.
[0036] In addition, by using neoprene material for the cover fiber surrounding the outer shape of the plastic fixing band, the step between the plastic and fiber caused by the deformation of the plastic fixing band can be reduced. This is because neoprene has good elasticity and has a rubber material attached to the bottom, which has the effect of reducing slippage.
[0037] The soft, thick rubber material also has the effect of reducing the pressure applied when the corners of the fixing band belt body come into contact with the cat's bones, and in particular, the entire surface of the outer fiber surface is layered with Velcro material, which has the effect of enabling it to be adhered to the wrapped Velcro.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various ways, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited by the embodiments described below. The embodiments are provided to more completely explain the present invention to those having average knowledge in the art. Therefore, the shapes of components in the drawings are exaggerated to emphasize a clearer description.

[0042] In addition, Figure 9 is a full view of the waist fixation band belt of the present invention being put on a cat, Figure 10 is a drawing showing the cat falling over and being fixed in place with the waist fixation band belt of the present invention put on the cat, Figure 11 is a drawing of the cat immobilized with the fixation bands of the present invention put on its waist, neck and two ankles, and the exposed areas where treatment and care can be performed as is, and Figure 12 is a schematic oblique view of the full view of the cat's chest and abdomen being examined after the waist fixation band belt of the present invention has been removed and only the neck and ankle fixation bands are left in place.
[0043] The waist fixing band belt 100 should cover the cat's lumbar spine but be positioned close to the front side of the hind thighs.
[0044] The neck fixation band belt 200 should cover the cat's cervical vertebrae but be close to the underside of the mandible.
[0045] The ankle fixing band belts 300, 400 should cover the ankle joints of the left and right front legs.
[0046] As shown in Figures 7(a) and (b), the components of the fixation band belt set for the medical treatment and care of cats according to the present invention can be roughly seen to be composed of a waist fixation band belt 100, a neck fixation band belt 200, and ankle fixation band belt 300.
[0047] As can be seen in the schematic skeletal diagram of a cat's torso 1000, in order to move the head, a skull-cervical joint 1110 is formed at the head, and a cervical-thoracic joint 1130 is formed next to the neck bones 1120.
[0048] A lumbar-sacral joint 1150 is formed extending from the lumbar vertebrae 1140 in the lower back to the buttocks.
[0049] In addition, sharp teeth 1160 are formed in the mouth of the head, and a joint 1170 is formed between the skull and the mandible.
[0050] An ankle joint 1180 is formed in the front leg of the cat's body 1000, and sharp claws 1180a are formed on the lower leg.
[0051] Additionally, a thigh front portion 1190 is formed at the hind leg portion of the cat's body 1000, and is formed by a joint with the hip bone.
[0052] It has been analyzed that the neck bone 1120, lumbar vertebrae 1140 and ankle joint 1180 act as driving forces for attack and evasion based on the flexibility of cat movements.
[0053] This invention enabled us to analyze the fact that cats use not only their teeth but also their claws as weapons, and the location of the joints that allow them to control them.
[0054] Therefore, we analyzed a medical and care method to immobilize a cat by using a waist fixation band belt 100, a neck fixation band belt 200, and ankle fixation band belts 300 and 400 to fix the neck bone 1120, the lumbar vertebrae 1140, and the ankle joint 1180.
[0055] The above-mentioned components will be described in detail as follows.
[0056] The waist fixing band belt 100 is constructed as an integrated unit of a belt body 110 having a soft female Velcro 112 formed at one end of the outer side and a band wrap 120 having a coarse male Velcro 122 formed on the inside, and is formed by joining and sewing two outer cover fibers together, joining two fibers together between the outer cover fibers of the belt body 110, and inserting an incised cylindrical plastic fixing band between the outer cover fibers of the belt body 110.
[0057] The belt body 110 of the waist fixing band belt 100 is formed in a shape in which the width is reduced at a portion where the belt body 110 and the band winding 120 are connected.
[0058] The cat's waist is positioned inside the belt body 110, and the rough male Velcro 122 of the band wrap 120 is wrapped around the cat's waist and attached to the soft female Velcro 112 of the belt body 110 to fasten it around the waist.
[0059] In the case of the male Velcro 122 that is attached to the Velcro of the belt body 110 of the waist fixing band belt 100, it was analyzed that the general type of Velcro adheres strongly and is sufficient to prevent a cat's sudden defensive behavior.
[0060] In other words, it was analyzed that if injected Velcro is used, the adhesive strength is too strong, making it difficult to put on and take off the belt once it is wrapped around a cat. Also, since the bumps on the Velcro are more than half the size of regular Velcro, if a cat's hair gets caught in the bumps, the bumps become even smaller, causing the adhesive strength to decrease.
[0061] The neck fixing band belt 200 is integrally formed with a belt body part 210 having a soft female Velcro 212 formed at one end of the outside and a band wrap 220 having a coarse male Velcro 222 formed on the inside, and is formed by joining and sewing two outer cover fibers, joining and sewing two fibers between the outer cover fibers of the belt body part 210, and inserting an incised cylindrical plastic fixing band between the outer cover fibers of the belt body part 210.
[0062] The belt body 210 of the neck fixing band belt 200 and the portion where the band winding 220 is connected are formed in a straight line having the same width.
[0063] The neck is positioned inside the belt body 210, and the rough male Velcro 222 of the band wrap 220 is wrapped around the cat's neck and attached to the soft female Velcro 212 of the belt body 210 to fasten it around the neck.
[0064] In the case of the coarsely wound male Velcro 222 that is attached to the Velcro of the belt body 210 of the neck fixing band belt 200, it was analyzed that the general type of Velcro adheres strongly and is sufficient to prevent the cat's sudden defensive behavior.
[0065] In other words, it was analyzed that if injected Velcro is used, the adhesive strength is too strong, making it difficult to put on and take off the belt once it is wrapped around a cat. Also, since the bumps on the Velcro are more than half the size of regular Velcro, if a cat's hair gets caught in the bumps, the bumps become even smaller, causing the adhesive strength to decrease.
[0066] The ankle fixing band belt 300, 400 is formed by integrally forming a belt body part 310 having a soft female Velcro 312 formed at one end of the outer side and a band wrap 320 having a coarse male Velcro 322 formed on the inside, and two outer cover fibers are joined and sewn together, two fibers are joined and sewn together between the outer cover fibers of the belt body part 310, and an incised cylindrical plastic fixing band is inserted between the outer cover fibers of the belt body part 310.
[0067] The belt body 310 of the ankle fixing band 300 and the portion where the band winding 320 is connected are formed in a straight line having the same width.
[0068] The ankle is positioned inside the belt body 310, and the rough male Velcro 322 of the band wrap 320 is wrapped around the cat's ankle and attached to the soft female Velcro 312 of the belt body 310 to fasten it around the ankle.
[0069] In the case of the coarse male Velcro 322 that is attached to the Velcro of the belt body 310 of the ankle fixing band belt 300, it was analyzed that the general type of Velcro has a strong adhesion and is sufficient to prevent the cat's sudden defensive behavior.
[0070] In other words, it was analyzed that if injected Velcro is used, the adhesive strength is too strong, making it difficult to put on and take off the belt once it is wrapped around a cat. Also, since the bumps on the Velcro are more than half the size of regular Velcro, if a cat's hair gets caught in the bumps, the bumps become even smaller, causing the adhesive strength to decrease.
[0071] It has been analyzed that the waist fixing band belt 100 is effective only when worn so that the corners of the band are as close as possible to the front of the thighs.
[0072] It was also analyzed that the neck fixing band belt 200 is effective only when the corners of the band are in close contact with the lower end of the mandible.
[0073] Also, it was analyzed that the ankle fixing band belts 300, 400 are effective only when they surround the joints between the hip, ulna and metacarpal bones of the front leg.
[0074] In particular, docile cats can be cared for using only the waist restraint band, but aggressive cats must wear restraints on the waist, neck, and ankles.
[0075] Next, the fixing band of the present invention will be specifically described.
[0076] Figure 5 is a schematic oblique view of the cat waist fixation band belt of the present invention, Figures 6(a) and (b) are schematic oblique views showing the Velcro position of the cat waist fixation band belt of the present invention, Figures 7(a), (b), (c), and (d) are overall schematic oblique views of the cat waist, neck, and ankle fixation band belt of the present invention, and Figures 8(a) and (b) are front and back oblique views of the plastic fixation band inserted into the body of the cat waist, neck, and ankle fixation band of the present invention.
[0077] As shown in Figures 5 to 8, the belt body 110 of the waist fixing band belt 100 is formed with a size a to cover about half of the waist including the back area according to the waist size of a cat, the belt body 210 of the neck fixing band belt 200 is formed with a size b according to the neck size of a cat, and the belt body 310 of the ankle fixing band belt 300 is formed with sizes c and d according to the ankle size.
[0078] A cat's lumbar spine is connected continuously by intervertebral discs, attached muscles and ligaments, and acts as a central axis to balance the body.
[0079] The sacrum articulates with the sacrum, which is part of the spine, and the sacrum also articulates with the femur.
[0080] Therefore, when the mobility of the femur is restricted by the corners of the waist fixation band belt, the mobility of all the processes connected to the lumbar vertebrae via the sacrum is distorted. Even if the cat tries to balance its body through the flexible lumbar vertebrae, the mobility of the lumbar vertebrae is restricted by the hard cross section of the band, causing it to fall over.
[0081] Accordingly, the waist fixing band belt 100 is constructed as an integrated unit of a belt body part 110 having a soft female Velcro 112 formed at one end of the outer side and a band wrap 120 having a coarse male Velcro 122 formed on the inside, two outer cover fibers are joined and sewn to form a sewing line 132, and a cut cylindrical plastic fixing band 100a is inserted between the outer cover fibers of the belt body part 110, and the diameter a of the fixing band 100a is made to be 7.5 cm, with a margin of about 0.5 cm in size, and the height h1 is made to be 13 cm, with a margin of about 1 cm in size, and is inserted.
[0082] In addition, the belt main body 110 of the waist fixing band belt 100 at the portion where the belt main body 110 and the band winding 120 are connected is formed in a form that narrows in width, and the narrowing of the waist belt winding is to further secure abdominal area for abdominal examination and care.
[0083] A cat's skull articulates with the cervical vertebrae and also with the mandible, so if the mobility of the mandible is restricted, the range of motion of the neck, head and mouth is all restricted, making it impossible for the cat to quickly turn or arch its head or open its mouth, making it difficult for it to bite with its teeth or avoid interference.
[0084] Accordingly, the neck fixing band belt 200 is constructed as an integrated unit of a belt body part 210 having a soft female Velcro 212 formed at one end of the outer side and a band wrap 220 having a coarse male Velcro 222 formed on the inside, two outer cover fibers are joined and sewn to form a sewing line 232, and the cylindrical plastic fixing band 100b cut between the outer cover fibers of the belt body part 210 is made to have a diameter b of 7 cm, with a margin of approximately 0.5 cm in both directions, and is made to have a height h2 of 2.5 cm, with a margin of approximately 0.5 cm in both directions, and is inserted to form the belt body part 210.
[0085] A cat's scratching action consists of a series of complex actions: rotational movement through the socket joint between the scapula and humerus, hinge movement and slight rotational movement through the hinge joints between the humerus, hip bone and ulna, bending and slight rotational movement through the oval joint between the ulna and ankle bone, and finally folding and extending the claws of the toes through the elastic ligaments located between the phalanges and the muscles involved in bending and extending the bones of the toes.
[0086] Therefore, if an ankle band is applied to the joint between the radius and ankle bone, even if the whole foot can be moved, the ankle cannot be bent, and the range and speed of scratching motion is severely limited.
[0087] Accordingly, the ankle fixing band belt 300 is constructed as an integrated unit of a belt body part 310 having a soft female Velcro 312 formed at one end of the outer side and a band wrap 320 having a coarse male Velcro 322 formed on the inside, two outer cover fibers are joined and sewn to form a sewing line 332, and the cylindrical plastic fixing band 100c cut between the outer cover fibers of the belt body part 310 is made to have a diameter c of 2.5 cm with a suitable margin of about 0.5 cm in both directions, and is made to have a height h3 of 2 cm with a suitable margin of about 0.5 cm in both directions and inserted to form the ankle fixing band 300.
[0088] The cylindrical cuts d1, d2, and d3 serve to adjust the degree of tightness depending on the size of the cat's body when the band is wrapped and fixed, and it was analyzed that 0.5 cm, 0.3 cm, and 0.2 cm are appropriate, respectively.
[0089] In addition, the length of the bands 120, 220, and 330 serves to adjust the degree of tightness depending on the size of the cat's body when the bands are wrapped and fixed, and it was analyzed that 36 cm, 11 cm, and 8 cm, respectively, are appropriate.
[0090] The belt body 110 and the band winding 120 of the waist fixing band belt 100 are formed in a form of narrowing width, the belt body 210 and the band winding 220 of the neck fixing band belt 200 are formed in a straight line shape with the same width, and the belt body 310 of the ankle fixing band belt 300 at the part where the belt body 310 and the band winding 320 are connected is also formed in a straight line shape with the same width. In standardization, the belt body 110 of the waist fixing band belt 100 is formed with the above-mentioned diameter a to cover about half of the waist including the back part according to the waist size of the cat, the belt body 210 of the neck fixing band belt 200 is formed with the above-mentioned diameter b according to the neck size of the cat, and the belt body 310 of the ankle fixing band belt 300 is preferably formed with the above-mentioned diameters c and d according to the ankle size.
[0091] The width of the neck and ankle straps cannot be reduced because these two straps are so small that the area taken up by the Velcro would also be small, and therefore the width must not be reduced in order to secure as much surface area as possible.
[0092] Next, an overview of the medical treatment and care of cats will be provided.
[0093] Figure 9 is a full view of the waist fixation band belt of the present invention being put on a cat, Figure 10 shows the cat falling over and being fixed in place with the waist fixation band belt of the present invention put on it, Figure 11 shows the cat immobilized with the waist, neck and two ankle fixation bands of the present invention put on it, and the exposed areas where treatment and care can be performed as is, and Figure 12 is a schematic oblique view of the full view of the cat's chest and abdomen being examined after the waist fixation belt of the present invention has been removed and only the neck and ankle fixation bands are still in place.
[0094] As shown in FIG. 9, the waist fixing band belt of the present invention is put on a cat, and the waist fixing band belt 100 is wrapped around the upper part of the waist so that the cat cannot bite or scratch.
[0095] As shown in FIG. 10, the cat is in a state where it has fallen down and been fixed in place with the waist fixing band belt 100 of the present invention fitted around the cat.
[0096] As can be seen in Figure 11, this is an image of a cat immobilized after wearing the waist fixation band belt 100, neck fixation band belt 200, and ankle fixation band belts 300 and 400 of the present invention, and of exposed areas that can be treated and cared for as is.
[0097] Unexplained reference numeral 1100b indicates the inside of the upper arm of the front leg, 1000c indicates the thigh of the rear leg, and 1000d indicates the anus. Also, 1160 represents the cat's mouth, 1160a indicates the cat's eyes, 1160b indicates the cat's ears, 1180a indicates the claws of the feet, and 1180b indicates the chest.
[0098] As shown in Figure 12, by removing only the waist fixing band belt 100 and leaving only the neck fixing band belt 200 and the ankle fixing band belts 300, 400 in a fastened state, an example of a panoramic view in which X-ray or ultrasound examination of the chest and abdomen is possible is shown.
[0099] In this way, the number of combinations of each fixation band belt can further increase the variety of possible medical treatments and care.
[0100] Next, examples of the types of treatment and care that are possible with the band in place are provided.
[0101] For the eyes, this involves an eye examination and the administration of eye drops; for the ears, this involves an ear examination, ear cleaning and the administration of medication; for the oral cavity, this involves an oral examination, teeth brushing and the administration of medication; for the feet, this involves clipping the toenails; for the front paws, this involves taking blood samples and measuring blood pressure; for the chest and abdomen, this involves auscultation, X-rays and ultrasound examinations; for the thighs, injections can be given; for the subcutaneous area of the back, injections can be given and subcutaneous fluids can be administered; for the anus, this involves an examination of the anal sacs and the measurement of temperature through the rectum.
[0102] As mentioned above, because the area is exposed in a fixed state, the above-mentioned medical examinations and care can be carried out immediately without the need for anesthesia, injury to the person involved, or the application of excessive gripping force to the cat, and this is an area where such needs are very urgently needed in the field.
[0103] Next, a method for fastening the fixing band belt for the medical treatment and care of cats will be described.
[0104] A method for fastening a fastening band belt for medical treatment and care of cats, comprising the steps of: first, fastening a waist fastening band belt 100 formed by joining and sewing two outer cover fibers together, and inserting a plastic fastening band between the outer cover fibers of the belt body part 110, according to the cat's body size; and then fastening the belt body part 210 having a soft female Velcro 212 formed at one end of the outer side and a band winding 220 having a coarse male Velcro 222 formed at the inside, according to the cat's body size. The first step is to fasten the neck fixing band belt 200 formed by joining and sewing two outer lid fibers together and inserting a plastic fixing band between the outer lid fibers of the belt body portion 210 to fit the size of the cat's neck, and the second step is to fasten the ankle fixing band belt 300 formed by integrally forming the belt body portion 310 having a soft female Velcro 312 formed at one end on the outside and the band winding 320 having a coarse male Velcro 322 formed on the inside, the second step is to fasten the ankle fixing band belt 300 formed by joining and sewing two outer lid fibers together and inserting a plastic fixing band between the outer lid fibers of the belt body portion 310 to fit the size of the cat's ankle.
[0105] The fixation band belt fastening method for the treatment and care of cats was discovered during the treatment process by discovering that the waist area is the most effective way to immobilize a cat's entire body in order to restrain it.
[0106] Later, during the treatment, I discovered that the neck part was what immobilized the cat's face so that I could not use my teeth to subdue it.
[0107] Later, during the course of treatment, I discovered that the ankle part was meant to immobilize the cat's entire ankle so that it could not use its claws to subdue the cat.
[0108] It was confirmed that by performing examination and care in this order, cats became calm and were prevented from moving during examination and care.
[0109] If the order was changed and the fixation bands were put on from the ankles, the child would use the strength of their lower back to get up or bite with their teeth, and if the order was changed and the fixation bands were put on from the neck, the child would use the strength of their lower back to get up or scratch with their toenails.
[0110] As mentioned above, the reason why the outer cover fiber of the band is made of a thick and elastic material such as neoprene and the cross-sectional area is secured so that the inner plastic has some space is that it overcomes the tensile force caused by the deformation of the inner plastic, reduces the pressure applied to the bone angle, and since it is a waterproof material, it prevents the fiber from getting wet when applying medicine.
[0111] Next, we will explain the material and physical properties of plastic bands.
[0112] The fixing band 100a of the waist fixing band belt 100 may contain polycarbonate resin. The polycarbonate resin has excellent heat resistance, bending resistance and mechanical strength, so that the fixing band can be prevented from being damaged, such as broken or cracked, even when the cat bends its waist.
[0113] The fixing band 100a of the waist fixing band belt 100 has a tensile strength of 600 kgf / cm2 as measured according to the ASTM D 638 standard. 2 or more, and the bending strength measured according to the ASTM D 790 standard is 800 kgf / cm 2or more, and the flexural modulus is 20,000kgf / cm 2 Under the above conditions, the fixing band 100a has excellent bending resistance, tensile strength and mechanical strength, so it is suitable for use in fixing a cat's waist. For example, the fixing band 100a of the waist fixing band belt 100 has a tensile strength of 600 to 850 kgf / cm2 as measured according to the ASTM D 638 standard. 2 The flexural strength measured according to the ASTM D 790 standard is 800 to 1,100 kgf / cm 2 The flexural modulus is 20,000 to 26,000 kgf / cm 2 It could be.
[0114] For example, the waist fixing band 100a of the waist fixing band belt 100 has a shrinkage rate (based on a 3 mm thick specimen) of 1.0% or less as measured according to the ASTM D 955 standard, a melt index (300°C, 1.2 kg) of 10 g / 10 min or more as measured according to the ASTM D 1238 standard, and a heat distortion temperature (HDT, 1.82 MPa (18.6 kgf / cm) as measured according to the ASTM D 648 standard. 2 ) measurement standard) may be 120°C or more. Under the above conditions, the processability, bending resistance, tensile strength, and mechanical strength are excellent, so that the fixing band 100a may be suitable for use in fixing a cat's waist. For example, the fixing band 100a has a shrinkage rate (based on a 3 mm thick specimen) of 0.5 to 0.7% measured according to the ASTM D 955 standard, a melt index (300°C, 1.2 kg) of 10 to 18 g / 10 min measured according to the ASTM D 1238 standard, and a heat distortion temperature (HDT, 1.82 MPa (18.6 kgf / cm) measured according to the ASTM D 648 standard. 2 ) Measurement standard) may be 120 to 140°C.
[0115] In one embodiment, the fixing bands 100b, 100c of the neck and ankle fixing band belts 200, 300 may include polyamide 66 resin. When including this material, the neck and ankle fixing band belt may have excellent bending resistance and mechanical strength when bent.
[0116] At least one of the neck and ankle fixing band belts 200, 100b, 100c, has a tensile strength of 1,500 kgf / cm2 as measured according to the ASTM D 638 standard. 2 or more, the tensile elongation is 4% or more, and the flexural strength measured according to the ASTM D 790 standard is 2,500 kgf / cm 2 or more, and the flexural modulus is 80,000kgf / cm 2 Under the above conditions, the flex resistance and mechanical properties are excellent, so it is suitable for use in fixing the neck and ankle of a cat. For example, one or more fixing bands 100b and 100c of the neck and ankle fixing band belt 200 may have a tensile strength of 1,500 to 2,200 kgf / cm2 measured according to the ASTM D 638 standard. 2 The tensile elongation is 4-10% and the flexural strength measured according to the ASTM D 790 standard is 2,500-3,500 kgf / cm 2 The flexural modulus is 80,000 to 95,000 kgf / cm 2 It could be.
[0117] For example, at least one of the neck and ankle fixing band belts 200 and 300, the fixing bands 100b and 100c, has a shrinkage rate (based on a 3 mm thick specimen) of 1.0% or less as measured according to the ASTM D 955 standard, a melting point of 220°C or more as measured according to the ASTM D 1525 standard, and a heat distortion temperature (HDT / A, 1.82 MPa (18.6 kgf / cm) as measured according to the ASTM D 648 standard. 2 The temperature (measurement standard) may be 230°C or more. Under the above conditions, the bending resistance at high temperatures is excellent, so the dimensional stability, heat resistance and processability may be excellent. For example, the fixing bands 100b and 100c may have the shrinkage rate of 0.3 to 0.7%, the melting point of 220 to 270°C and the heat distortion temperature of 230 to 250°C.
[0118] As another example, one or more of the neck and ankle fixing band belts 200 and 300 may further include reinforcing fibers. When the reinforcing fibers are further included, the tensile strength and bending resistance of the fixing band may be improved. For example, the reinforcing fibers may include glass fibers.
[0119] In one specific example, one or more of the fixing bands 100b, 100c of the neck and ankle fixing band belts 200, 300 may contain 50-95% by weight of polyamide 66 resin and 5-50% by weight of reinforcing fiber. When contained in this range, the mixing and dispersibility are excellent, so that the tensile strength and bending strength of the fixing band can be further improved and the bending property at high temperature can be excellent.
[0120] The configuration and operation of the present invention will be described in more detail below through preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, these are presented as preferred examples of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention in any case. Contents not described here can be fully inferred by those skilled in the art, so the description thereof will be omitted.
[0121] Next, the Velcro-attached blocking member for the companion animal waist fixing band belt will be described.
[0122] Figure 13 is a schematic oblique view of a Velcro-attached blocking member attached to a cat waist fixation band belt of the present invention, Figure 14 is a schematic oblique view of a Velcro-attached blocking member of a cat waist fixation band belt of the present invention, Figure 15 is a schematic side view of a Velcro-attached blocking member attached to a cat waist fixation band belt of the present invention, Figure 16 is a schematic plan view of a Velcro-attached blocking member attached to a cat waist fixation band belt of the present invention, and Figure 17 is a schematic back view of a Velcro-attached blocking member attached to a cat waist fixation band belt of the present invention.
[0123] In another embodiment of the present invention, the material of the waist fixing band belt and the Velcro connecting blocking member is synthetic fiber and synthetic resin.
[0124] Another embodiment of the present invention is a structure in which a companion animal posture fixing band, which is made up of male Velcro 122 on a certain portion on the inside and female Velcro 112 on the entire outside, quickly surrounds and fixes the body of a companion animal, in order to prevent veterinarians and guardians from being injured by attacks from companion animals when treating and caring for companion animals such as dogs and cats, and to reduce the pressure directly applied to the body of a companion animal by a human grip.
[0125] As can be seen in FIG. 13, a joint blocking member 500 is attached to the upper part of the posture fixing band to cover the male Velcro formed on the upper part of the posture fixing band in order to prevent the companion animal from being startled by the sound of the fixed female and male Velcro 112, 122 when the fixing band is wrapped around the body of the companion animal or removed. The clip part attached to the end of the joint blocking member is fixed to the corner of the fixing band and the fixing band is rolled up.
[0126] Accordingly, the waist fixing band belt 100 is constructed as an integrated unit of a belt body portion 110 having a soft female Velcro 112 formed at one end on the outside and a band wrap 120 having a coarse male Velcro 122 formed on the inside, and two outer cover fibers are joined and sewn to form a sewing line 132, and an incised cylindrical plastic fixing band 100a is inserted between the outer cover fibers of the belt body portion 110 (see Figure 6a).
[0127] In addition, the belt main body 110 of the waist fixing band belt 100 is formed in a form that narrows in width at the portion where the belt main body 110 and the band winding 120 are connected, and the narrowing of the waist belt winding is intended to further secure the abdominal area for abdominal examination and care. As the belt main body 110 of the waist fixing band belt 100 is wound in a circle by the internal plastic fixing band 100a, the wound belt main body end 123 of the belt main body 110 comes into contact with the male Velcro 122.
[0128] Here, when the waist fixing band belt 100 is put on and taken off, an inaudible sound (such as a tick or tick sound) is made, which may frighten a companion animal. In order to prevent this, the connection blocking member hook part 502 made of a PE material of the connection blocking member 500 is sandwiched between the belt main body end part 123 and the male Velcro 122 and used as an intermediate separator, thereby eliminating this sound.
[0129] In other words, the size of the joint blocking member 500, which is used when the waist fixing band belt 100 is wound up and stored, is formed to be narrower than the waist fixing band belt 100 and shorter than the waist fixing band belt 100. After the waist fixing band belt 100 is completely wound, the length of the joint blocking member 500 is shorter than the waist fixing band belt 100 by the length to form a gap portion d, thereby forming a space portion that allows the male Velcro 122 of the band winder 120 to be joined to the female Velcro 112 of the belt main body portion 110.
[0130] Therefore, the waist fixing band belt 100 is wrapped around the joint blocking member hook portion 502 made of a PE material of the joint blocking member 500, which is sandwiched between the end portion 123 of the belt main body and the male Velcro 122. After the belt is completely wrapped around the waist fixing band belt 100, the male Velcro 122 of the band winding 120 is joined to the female Velcro 112 of the belt main body 110 by the excess male Velcro 122 formed in the gap portion d. When these are removed, the adhesive force is cut off by the joint blocking member 500, so that they can be removed without making any noise, which has the effect of not startling the pet animal.
[0131] Next, the ankle fixation ring for companion animals of the present invention will be described.
[0132] Figure 18 is a schematic perspective view of the ankle fixation ring for a cat of the present invention, Figure 19 is a schematic plan view of the ankle fixation ring for a cat of the present invention, and Figure 20 is a schematic perspective view of the ankle fixation ring for a cat of the present invention.
[0133] The materials used for the ankle fixation ring for companion animals are synthetic resin and silicone.
[0134] The ankle fixation ring for companion animals of the present invention is designed to quickly surround and fix the ankle of a companion animal, preventing veterinarians and guardians from being injured by attacks from companion animals when treating and caring for companion animals such as dogs and cats, and reducing the pressure applied directly to the companion animal's body by a human grip.
[0135] Next, the ankle fixation ring for companion animals of the present invention will be specifically described.
[0136] As shown in Figures 18 to 20, the ankle fixing ring body 610 of the ankle fixing ring 600 for companion animals is made of a plastic material having appropriate rigidity and restoring force, and the two anti-slip devices 620 fitted into the ankle fixing ring body 610 are made of a silicone material, but have projections and recesses 623 formed in the direction of the contact surface with the ankle, thereby preventing the ankle fixing ring from coming off the ankle.
[0137] If the ankle is fixed in a band like the waist and neck, (1) the fixing effect is small due to an excessively small Velcro adhesive area, (2) the action of lifting the leg, putting it precisely on the ankle joint, and then wrapping the band around it is cumbersome because it is required for the small front leg joint of a cat, and (3) when blood is taken from the front leg, blood splashes and adheres to the fibers of the fixing band, contaminating the fibers and making it difficult to clean.
[0138] The features of this ankle brace are that the ankle joints of the front legs cannot bend, making it impossible for the cat to scratch, and even if the waistband is removed and only the ankle brace is worn, the cat cannot stand up and run away. The omega structure of the ring and the unevenness carved into the surface of the silicone inlay provide two ways of preventing the fixing ring from coming off the cat's ankle. The material used is POM (acetal), which has excellent rigidity and restoring force. After fitting it appropriately near the underside of the ankle, it can be lifted up and attached to the desired position, and the ring can be quickly fitted from the side without the need to lift the leg.
[0139] In addition, since it is made of plastic, it has the advantage of being easy to clean even if blood splashes and adheres to it when blood is collected through the front paws.
[0140] In this manner, the ankle fixing ring body 610 is shaped like an Ω (omega) and the fitting portion 612 formed at the opening of the rounding portion 611 is widened to make it easy to fit the ankle, and anti-slip device mounting grooves 613 are formed on both sides to determine the position where the anti-slip device 620 is fitted and attached and to prevent movement.
[0141] Therefore, the ankle can be pushed in from the side, which has the effect of preventing the companion animal from being injured in the pushing process and making it easy to grasp the foot with the hands and put it on.
[0142] The anti-slip device 620 is made of a silicone material and is formed of a square fitting cylinder 621, the inside of which is an empty space and a fitting space 622 is formed as a cylindrical hole so that the ankle fixing ring body 610 can be fitted in, and an anti-slip protrusion 623 is formed to prevent slipping due to the pet animal's fur after the ankle is fitted in.
[0143] Therefore, the main body of the ankle fixation ring for companion animals is made of a plastic material with appropriate rigidity and restoring force, and the two anti-slip devices fitted into the main body have projections and recesses on the surface that comes into contact with the ankle, which prevents excessive pressure while preventing slipping, and thus has the effect of preventing the ankle fixation ring from coming off the ankle.
[0144] In the case of the anti-slip device 620, which is a silicone insert for the ankle ring, the silicone buffers the pressure applied to the ankle, and although the silicone is manufactured in various thicknesses, the size of the internal groove is unified so that it can all be attached to one ankle ring body, making it possible to fix it to ankles of cats with various diameters.
[0145] The common explanation for the above is that when the ankle ring is applied to the ankle, the silicone protrudes from the plastic, so that it makes the first and most substantial contact with the ankle.
[0146] Cats have sensitive personalities and highly developed hearing, so they may run away when they hear the noise that occurs during the process of removing the adhesive between the Velcro to unroll the waist fixing band belt from its stored state. Therefore, the adhesive area between the Velcro is minimized to minimize the noise of unrolling and storing the fixing band by rolling it up even with the joint blocking member overlapped, so the end of the rolled Velcro is slightly exposed. Also, the Velcro joint blocking member is overlapped on the roll of the band, but the protruding part attached to the end of the joint member is inserted inside the corner of the band cylinder and fixed so that it can be easily rolled up.
[0147] Next, a description will be given of imaging examinations that can be performed while the companion animal ankle fixation ring 600 is being worn.
[0148] According to the drawing, when imaging tests such as X-rays and MRIs are performed, the patient is moved to the imaging test location wearing a waist fixation band belt and a neck fixation band belt, laid on his / her side, and the ankle fixation rings are fastened to the ankles of the left and right front legs. After that, depending on the area to be examined, one or two of the waist and neck fixators are removed and the patient takes the desired posture to perform the imaging test.
[0149] Even with only the ankle fixing rings fastened, the victim cannot stand up and escape, and as both are made of non-metallic materials, they do not interfere with video inspection.
[0150] In other words, testing can be performed immediately while wearing the device.
[0151] The configuration and operation of the fixing band belt set for medical treatment and care of cats according to the present invention have been described in detail above and illustrated in the drawings. However, this is merely an explanation using examples, and various changes and modifications are possible within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.
[0152] <Example 1> The waist fixing band belt 100 is formed by integrally forming a belt body 110 having a soft female Velcro 112 formed at one end of the outer side and a band winding 120 having a coarse male Velcro 122 formed on the inside, and two outer cover fibers are joined and sewn to form a sewing line 132, and an incised cylindrical plastic fixing band (fixing band) is inserted between the outer cover fibers of the belt body 110, but the belt body 110 of the waist fixing band belt 100 is formed in a narrowed form at the part where the belt body 110 and the band winding 120 are connected, and the waist fixing band belt covers the lumbar vertebrae of the cat so as to act on the lumbar-sacral joint 1150 formed from the lumbar vertebrae 1140 of the cat's waist to the buttocks, but is located near the front side of the thigh of the hind leg, providing a fixing band belt for medical treatment and care of cats. At this time, the fixing band 100a of the waist fixing band belt 100 was manufactured by molding a composition containing polycarbonate (manufactured by Samyang, product name: TRITEX 3022IR) by a known method.
[0153] The test results showing the physical properties of the fixing band 100a of the waist fixing band belt 100 of Example 1 are shown in the following Figs. 13 to 15. The fixing band 100a has a tensile strength of 700 kgf / cm as measured according to the ASTM D 638 standard. 2 The flexural strength measured according to ASTM D 790 standard is 950kgf / cm 2 The flexural modulus is 23,000kgf / cm 2 The shrinkage rate (based on 3 mm thick specimens) measured according to ASTM D 955 is 0.5 to 0.7%, the melt index (300°C, 1.2 kg) measured according to ASTM D 1238 is 14 g / 10 min, and the heat distortion temperature (HDT) measured according to ASTM D 648 is 1.82 MPa (18.6 kgf / cm 2 ) measurement standard) was 134°C.
[0154] <Example 2> The neck fixing band belt 200 is formed by integrally forming a belt body 210 having a soft female Velcro 212 formed at one end of the outside and a band winding 220 having a coarse male Velcro 222 formed on the inside, and two outer cover fibers are joined and sewn to form a sewing line 232, two fibers are joined and sewn between the outer cover fibers of the belt body 210, and an incised cylindrical plastic fixing band is inserted between the outer cover fibers of the belt body 210, but the belt body 210 of the neck fixing band belt 200 at the part where the belt body 210 and the band winding 220 are connected is formed in a straight line shape with the same width, and the neck fixing band belt 200 covers the cervical vertebrae of a cat but is located near the underside of the mandible, providing a fixing band belt for medical treatment and care of cats.
[0155] At this time, the fixing band of the neck fixing band belt 200 was manufactured by molding a composition containing 70% by weight of polyamide 66 resin and 30% by weight of glass fiber (manufactured by Kolon Plastics, product name: KOPA KN332G30VOBL) by a known method.
[0156] The test results showing the physical properties of the fixing band 100b of the neck fixing band belt 200 of the second embodiment are shown in the following Figs. 16 to 20. The fixing band 100b has a tensile strength of 1,750 kgf / cm2 as measured according to the ASTM D 638 standard. 2 The tensile elongation is 4.5% and the flexural strength measured according to the ASTM D 790 standard is 2,800 kgf / cm 2 The flexural modulus is 85,000kgf / cm 2 The shrinkage rate (based on 3 mm thick specimens) measured according to the ASTM D 955 standard is 0.3 to 0.7%, the melting point measured according to the ASTM D 1525 standard is 255°C, and the heat distortion temperature (HDT) measured according to the ASTM D 648 standard is 1.82 MPa (18.6 kgf / cm 2 ) Measurement standard) was 240°C.
[0157] <Example 3> The ankle fixing band belt 300 is formed by integrally forming a belt body 310 having a soft female Velcro 312 formed at one end of the outer side and a band winding 320 having a coarse male Velcro 322 formed on the inside, and two outer cover fibers are joined and sewn to form a sewing line 332, and two fibers are joined and sewn between the outer cover fibers of the belt body 310, and an incised cylindrical plastic fixing band is inserted between the outer cover fibers of the belt body 310. However, the belt body 310 of the ankle fixing band belt 300 at the part where the belt body 310 and the band winding 320 are connected is formed in a straight line shape with the same width, and the ankle fixing band belt 300 can cover the ankle joints 1180 of the left and right front legs. A fixing band belt for medical treatment and care of cats is provided. At this time, the fixing bands 100c and 100d of the ankle fixing band belt 300 were manufactured by molding a composition containing 70% by weight of polyamide 66 resin and 30% by weight of glass fiber (manufactured by Kolon Plastics, product name: KOPA KN332G30VOBL) by a known method.
[0158] The fixing bands 100c and 100d have a tensile strength of 1,750 kgf / cm2 as measured according to the ASTM D 638 standard. 2 The tensile elongation is 4.5% and the flexural strength measured according to the ASTM D 790 standard is 2,800 kgf / cm 2 The flexural modulus is 85,000kgf / cm 2 The shrinkage rate (based on 3 mm thick specimens) measured according to the ASTM D 955 standard is 0.3 to 0.7%, the melting point measured according to the ASTM D 1525 standard is 255°C, and the heat distortion temperature (HDT) measured according to the ASTM D 648 standard is 1.82 MPa (18.6 kgf / cm 2 ) Measurement standard) was 240°C.
[0159] <Experimental Example> The fixing band belts manufactured according to Examples 1 to 3 were fastened to the waist, neck, and legs of a cat, respectively, as shown in Figures 9 to 11, and the cat was examined (examination of the thorax and abdomen) as shown in Figure 12. At this time, no damage occurred to the fixing band belts when bending the fixing band belts for fastening according to Examples 1 to 3, and the fixing bands were restored to their original state after the examination.
[0160] The fixing band belt is fastened to the front of the hind leg skeleton around the abdominal part of the cat's body, providing a structure that allows the cat to lie down comfortably (without moving) during the examination, and it was found that the cat cannot attack the examiner with its teeth and claws in self-defense during the examination.
[0161] As can be seen above, the reason why the material of the plastic fixing band inserted into the conductor of the waist fixing band belt is different from the material of the plastic fixing band inserted into the torso of the neck and ankle fixing band belt is that in the case of the neck and ankle fixing band belt, the cross-sectional area is small, so in order to cover and sew the outer cover fiber onto the plastic fixing band, the plastic fixing band would break when bent 180 degrees, so the flexibility had to be increased. [Industrial Applicability]
[0162] The present invention relates to a fixing band belt set for cat medical treatment and care, which prevents accidents caused by cats attacking veterinarians with their sharp claws or teeth or touching equipment due to psychological anxiety during medical treatment and care, and allows veterinarians to easily treat and care the cat.
