Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to dog clothing, and more particularly to dog clothing suitable for fastening an attachment such as a toilet sheet, particularly for male dogs. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, it is difficult to select the right size for the belly circumference of commonly sold manner bands for male dogs. Furthermore, the urinary pads used in conjunction with the manner bands are disposable, which is an economical burden. Furthermore, conventional reusable urinary pads are made of a combination of cloth and waterproof fabric, which requires the time-consuming process of hand-washing and drying the pads after use, which is time-consuming for owners and does not provide peace of mind in terms of hygiene.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses wearable pants for dogs that have a chest and belly band that passes from the neck to between the front legs to cover the chest and abdomen, and passes between the hind legs with a hole in the tail to cover the back, with elastic in the neck and back for easy removal and both flanks secured with hook-and-loop tape.

[0004] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 below discloses an animal diaper cover equipped with an animal assistive device having an adhesive part that can be attached to an animal diaper or an animal diaper cover, and a collar part that can be worn around the animal's neck with the adhesive part attached to the animal diaper or animal diaper cover.

[0005] Furthermore, the following Patent Document 3 discloses a diaper holding garment which is provided with front leg holes in the garment body that are configured to receive the pet's front legs, and two holding parts, each configured to hold a pet diaper in a removable manner, and when the garment body is put on a pet, the connecting part of one of the two holding parts on the garment body side is located on one of the pet's both sides, and the connecting part of the other of the two holding parts on the garment body side is located on the other of the pet's both sides, and each of the two holding parts is arranged in a straight line on the garment body so that when the pet diaper is held, the tip of each of the two holding parts is tilted downward. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3181679 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3180019 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 6692482 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, the manners pants described in Patent Document 1 are used by attaching a sanitary napkin or a urine absorption pad to the inside of the pants in areas that are prone to getting soiled, and since adhesiveness is essential to attach the urine absorption pad or sanitary napkin to the pants, this is an economical burden compared to non-adhesive sheet-like toilet sheets.

[0008] In addition, the animal diaper cover described in Patent Document 2 has the problem that the force holding the diaper cover is concentrated on the neck and throat of the animal, causing strain on these areas.

[0009] Furthermore, in the diaper holding garment described in Patent Document 3, the part that holds the diaper is exposed to the outside, which may cause pets to bite it.

[0010] The present invention has been made with the above points in mind, and its purpose is to provide dog clothing that allows dog accessories (toilet sheets, urine pads, diapers, etiquette bands, etiquette belts, etc.) to be securely attached, significantly reducing the burden on the dog's body and the hassle for the owner, and is hygienic and reduces the financial burden. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The dog clothing of the present invention comprises an upper body portion having a circular neckline through which the dog's neck is passed and a pair of armholes through which the dog's front legs are passed, a central portion extending continuously from the upper body portion to the vicinity of the dog's tail and covering the ventral portion between the dog's front and hind legs, a first body band and a second body band extending laterally from the central portion and separated from the upper body portion, a detachable member for attaching and detaching the first body band and the second body band so as to adjust the waist circumference, a back cover extending continuously from the upper body portion to the vicinity of the dog's tail and separated from the body portion on the tail side from the base of the dog's front legs, and both tail-side edges of the back cover. the rear edge of the body near the armholes, the rear edge of the side edges of the first and second body bands, and the rear tail side of the body, each of which has at least one gripping means for gripping dog accessories; and a pair of auxiliary tapes arranged on the tail edge of the body so as to be positioned on both sides of the dog's tail, with hooks at their tips that engage with each of the pair of ring members at the tail edge of the back cover, and stretchable enough to pass from the belly side of the dog through the inside of the hind legs and crotch, allowing the hooks to engage with the pair of ring members.

[0012] One of the main forms is characterized in that the gripping means is provided on the back side of the upper body between the pair of armholes and in the vicinity of the pair of armholes, one on the back side of the first body band at approximately the center of the width of the first body band, one on the back side of the second body band at approximately the center of the width of the second body band, and one on the edge of the back side of the body between the pair of auxiliary tapes and one on the side edge side of the body from the pair of auxiliary tapes, and the garment is gripped by these seven gripping means.

[0013] Another embodiment is characterized in that the gripping means provided on the back side of the first body band and the second body band are provided at the tip of a tape having an adjuster for adjusting the length.

[0014] In still another embodiment, the pair of auxiliary tapes are adjustable in length.

[0015] In yet another embodiment, the wearable article is at least one of a toilet sheet, a urine pad, a diaper, a manners band, and a manners belt. The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] The dog clothing of the present invention comprises an upper body portion having a circular neckline through which the dog's neck is passed and a pair of armholes through which the dog's front legs are passed; a central portion extending continuously from the upper body portion to the vicinity of the dog's tail and covering the ventral portion between the dog's front and hind legs; a body portion having a first body band and a second body band extending laterally from the central portion and separated from the upper body portion; a detachable member for attaching and detaching the first body band and the second body band so as to adjust the waist circumference; a back cover extending continuously from the upper body portion to the vicinity of the dog's tail and separated from the body portion on the tail side from the base of the dog's front legs; and a tail edge of the back cover. a pair of annular members provided near both ends of the body; a plurality of gripping means, at least one of which is provided on the back side of the upper body near the armholes, on the back sides of the side edges of the first body band and the second body band, and on the tail side of the back side of the body, for gripping an article for a dog; and a pair of auxiliary tapes, which are arranged on the tail side edge of the body so as to be positioned on both sides of the dog's tail, and have hooks at their tips that engage with each of the pair of annular members at the tail side edge of the back cover, and which extend from the belly side of the dog, passing through the insides of the hind legs and crotch, and have a length that allows the hooks to engage with the pair of annular members.

[0017] This has the effect of stably connecting and fastening dog accessories (toilet sheets, urine pads, diapers, manners bands, manners belts, etc.) and distributing the force of connecting and fastening the accessories over the entire body of the dog, preventing it from being concentrated on the neck or throat, thereby significantly reducing the strain on the dog's body.In addition, it significantly reduces the owner's effort and is hygienic, and since existing toilet sheets can be used, it is low-cost and can be flexibly adapted to the dog's body shape.

Figs. 8 to 12 are diagrams showing an example of a procedure for attaching a toilet sheet to the dog garment of this embodiment and putting the dog garment on a dog.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, dog clothing 10 of this embodiment is composed of upper body portion 12, torso body portion 16, detachable members 32A, 32B, 34A, 34B, back cover 28, annular members 58A, 58B provided at both ends of the tail edge of back cover 28, a plurality of gripping means 40A to 40G provided on the back side of dog clothing 10 (the side that comes into contact with the dog), and a pair of auxiliary tapes 50A, 50B.

[0023] The upper body portion 12 has a circular neckline 14 through which the neck 62 of the dog 60 passes, and a pair of circular armholes 18, 20 provided below the neckline 14 and through which the front legs 64, 66 of the dog 60 pass. The armholes 18, 20 have edges 18A, 20A. The upper body portion 12 is made of a stretchable material.

[0024] The torso 16 has a central portion that extends continuously from the upper body portion 12 to the vicinity of the tail 72 of the dog 60 and covers the abdominal portion between the front legs 64, 66 and the hind legs 68, 70 of the dog 60, and a first torso band 22 and a second torso band 24 that extend laterally from the central portion and are separate from the upper body portion 12. This torso 16 is also made of a stretchable material.

[0025] As shown in Figure 4(A), approximately rectangular hook-and-loop tapes 34A and 34B are provided horizontally on the top and bottom of the side edges of the front side (the side that does not come into contact with the dog) 24B of the second body band 24. Meanwhile, as shown in Figure 4(B), approximately circular hook-and-loop tapes 32A and 32B are provided on the top and bottom of the side edges of the back side (the side that comes into contact with the dog) 22A of the first body band 22. By wrapping the body of the dog 60 with the first body band 22 and the second body band 24 and joining the hook-and-loop tapes 32A and 34A and joining the hook-and-loop tapes 32B and 34B, the body panel 16 can be detachably connected while fitting to the waist circumference of the dog 60.

[0026] The back cover 28 is formed to extend continuously from the upper body portion 12 to the vicinity of the tail 72 of the dog 60, and is separated from the body portion 16 on the tail side from the base of the front legs 64, 66 of the dog 60.

[0027] The back cover 28 is generally rectangular, and a pair of annular members 58A, 58B are provided near both ends of the tail edge 28A. In the illustrated example, the annular members 58A, 58B are formed using tape having a predetermined width. The back cover 28 is also formed from a stretchable material.

[0028] A plurality of the gripping means 40A to 40G are provided on the back side of the dog garment 10. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, gripping means 40A and 40B are provided on the back side of the upper body 12 between and in the vicinity of the pair of armholes 18, 20, gripping means 40C is provided on the back side 22A of the first body band 22 at a substantially central portion of the width of the first body band 22, gripping means 40D is provided on the back side 24A of the second body band 24 at a substantially central portion of the width of the second body band 24, gripping means 40F is provided between the pair of auxiliary tapes 50A and 50B on the tail edge 26 on the back side of the body 16, gripping means 40E is provided on the lateral side of the auxiliary tape 50A, and gripping means 40G is provided on the lateral side of the auxiliary tape 50B. That is, in this embodiment, seven gripping means 40A to 40G are provided.

[0029] Of these gripping means 40A to 40G, gripping means 40A and 40B are located between the armholes 18 and 20 and are attached via connectors to a ring-shaped member 48 provided close to the armholes 18 and 20. Furthermore, gripping means 40C and 40D provided on the back side of the first body band 22 and the second body band 24 are provided at the tip of a tape 45 having an adjuster 46 for adjusting the length. The other gripping means 40E to 40G are attached via connectors to a ring-shaped member 48 provided on the tail-side edge 26 of the body 16. The ring-shaped member 48 is formed of a tape or the like having a predetermined width.

[0030] Next, a pair of auxiliary tapes 50A, 50B are arranged on the tail edge 26 of the body 16 so as to be positioned on both sides of the tail 72 of the dog 60. The pair of auxiliary tapes 50A, 50B are formed from stretchable rubber tapes 51A, 51B having a predetermined width, and are provided at one end with connectors 52A, 52B having hook portions, and at the other end with connectors 54A, 54B having hooks 55A, 55B. Tapes 51A, 51B are also provided with adjusters 56A, 56B for adjusting the length of tapes 51A, 51B.

[0031] The pair of auxiliary tapes 50A, 50B are attached to the body 16 by engaging the hooks of the connectors 52A, 52B at one end with the annular members 57A, 57B provided at the tail edge 26 of the body 16 in positions that sandwich the tail 72. The annular members 57A, 57B are formed from tapes having a predetermined width.

[0032] When attached to the torso body 16, the pair of auxiliary tapes 50A, 50B have a length that allows them to extend from the belly side of the dog 60 through the inside of the hind legs 68, 70 and the crotch, with the hooks 55A, 55B at the other end engaging with a pair of annular members 58A, 58B at both ends of the tail edge 28A of the back cover 28.

[0033] Next, with reference to Figures 5 to 7, the state of attachment of the toilet sheet 80 to the back side of the dog garment 10 will be described. The toilet sheet 80 used in this embodiment is a commercially available toilet sheet, and as shown in Figure 7, has a structure in which a water-absorbent layer 84 for absorbing urine is sandwiched between a water-permeable sheet 83A that has water permeability and a water-resistant sheet 83B that has water resistance, and has an edge 82. When attaching such a toilet sheet 80 to the back side of the dog garment 10, it is attached so that the water-permeable sheet 83A side comes into contact with the abdomen of the dog 60. Note that the toilet sheet 80 used in this embodiment does not have an adhesive on the back side of the water-resistant sheet 83B.

[0034] 5 and 6, the upper edge of the toilet sheet 80 is gripped by two gripping means 40A and 40B, the side edges of the toilet sheet 80 are gripped by length-adjustable gripping means 40C and 40D, and the lower edge of the toilet sheet 80 is gripped by three gripping means 40E to 40G. As shown in FIG. 7, the gripping means 40A to 40G are composed of an upper clip 42 that stands up relative to a base 41 and a lower clip 43 that engages with the upper clip 42.

[0035] As shown in Figure 7(A), if the size of the toilet sheet 80 is appropriate, it is sufficient to grip the edge 82 with the gripping means. However, if the toilet sheet 80 is large, it is necessary to grip the edge by folding it. In this case, if it is gripped by folding it into a U-shape as shown in Figure 7(B), urine will leak out from the absorbent sheet 83A and get around, staining the dog garment 10. Therefore, as shown in Figure 7(C), by folding it into an S-shape (or an inverted Z-shape) and gripping it with the gripping means, urine will not leak out from the absorbent layer 84 and stain the dog garment 10, making it more hygienic.

[0036] Next, a method of using this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 8 to 12. First, as shown in Figure 5, the edge 82 of the toilet sheet 80 is gripped and attached to the back side of the dog garment 10 by the seven gripping means 40A to 40G.

[0037] Then, as shown in Fig. 8, the collar is adjusted to allow the neck 62 of the dog 60 to easily pass through the collar 14, and the back cover 28 is placed over the dog 60 so that it is on the back side of the dog 60. Next, as shown in Fig. 9, with the back cover 28 turned up, the first body band 22 and the second body band 24 wrap around the body of the dog 60, and the hook-and-loop tapes 32A and 32B of the first body band 22 and the hook-and-loop tapes 34A and 34B of the second body band 24 are connected in a position that matches the waist circumference of the dog 60. Thereafter, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 8, the overlapping portion of the first body band 22 and the second body band 24 is covered with the back cover 28.

[0038] 10, one auxiliary tape 50A is wrapped around the inside of the hind legs 68 and the crotch from the belly side of the dog 60, and the hook 55A of the connector 54A at the tip is engaged with and fixed to the annular member 58A of the back cover 28. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 11, the other auxiliary tape 50B is wrapped around the inside of the hind legs 70 and the crotch from the belly side of the dog 60, and the hook 55B of the connector 54B at the tip is engaged with and fixed to the annular member 58B of the back cover 28. In this way, the structure in which the auxiliary tapes 50A and 50B for preventing slippage can be connected to the tail side edge 28A of the back cover 28 and the tail side edge of the body panel 16 allows the garment to be worn loosely but will not slip.

[0039] 12 shows a top view of the dog 60 wearing the dog clothing 10 with the toilet sheet 80 attached according to the above procedure. When going out for a walk, etc., a collar, harness, lead, etc. may be worn over the dog clothing 10 as needed.

[0040] The dog clothing 10 of this embodiment has a structure that envelops the entire torso of the dog 60, so it does not come off, slip off, or tighten, making it comfortable for the dog 60 to wear. In addition, the dog clothing 10 itself does not get dirty, so maintenance work is reduced, saving time for both the dog 60 and the owner.

[0041] Furthermore, unlike conventional techniques in which the force of the manners band is applied only to the neck, the clothing-like structure allows the dog 60 to hold the toilet sheet 80 with its entire body, allowing it to grip and hold the toilet sheet 80 in the same way as when wearing regular clothing. This simplifies the process of putting on the clothing for both the dog 60 putting it on and the owner putting it on.

[0042] Furthermore, the dog clothing 10 of this embodiment can accommodate dogs 60 of any body type and is comfortable to wear by fastening a toilet sheet 80 or a urine pad with the gripping means 40A-40G provided on the back of the dog clothing 10. Furthermore, since the toilet sheet 80 is disposable, it is hygienic and saves the owner time and effort. Furthermore, since the multiple gripping means 40A-40G provided on the back of the dog clothing 10 are designed to hold a commercially available toilet sheet 80, there is no need to worry about "adhesive urine pads" that are required for conventional manners bands, and it can be used regardless of whether the pad is adhesive or not.

[0043] Furthermore, currently available disposable small dog diapers cost about 50 yen each, while toilet sheets of the same size cost about 5 yen each, making them economical. This makes it easy to change the toilet sheets frequently, and they can always be kept clean, even for elderly or sick dogs.

[0044] <Effects> As described above, the dog clothing 10 of this embodiment comprises the upper body portion 12 having the annular neck opening 14 through which the neck 62 of the dog 60 passes, the pair of arm openings 18, 20 through which the front legs 64, 66 of the dog 60 pass, the central portion extending continuously from the upper body portion 12 to the vicinity of the tail 72 of the dog 60 and covering the abdominal portion between the front legs 64, 66 and the hind legs 68, 70 of the dog 60, and the two separate portions extending laterally from the central portion and separated from the upper body portion 12. The dog 60 has a body part 16 having a first body band 22 and a second body band 24 connected to each other, attachment / detachment members 32A, 32B, 34A, 34B for attaching and detaching the first body band 22 and the second body band 24 so as to be able to adjust the waist circumference, a back cover 28 extending continuously from the body upper part 12 to the vicinity of the tail 72 of the dog 60 and separated from the body part 16 on the tail side from the bases of the front legs 64, 66 of the dog 60, and A pair of annular members 58A, 58B are provided near both ends of the tail edge 28A of the bar 28; a plurality of gripping means 40A to 40G are provided on the rear side of the body upper part 12 near the armholes 18, 20, on the rear side of the side edges of the first body band 22 and the second body band 24, and on the rear tail side of the body 16, and are used to grip a dog attachment; and a tail edge of the body 16, which is provided at the rear edge of the body 16, for holding the tail of the dog 60. 72, and has hooks 55A, 55B at its tip that engage with a pair of annular members 58A, 58B at the tail edge 28A of the back cover 28, respectively, and a pair of auxiliary tapes 50A, 50B that extend from the belly side of the dog 60 through the inside of the hind legs 68, 70 and the crotch and have elasticity of a length that allows the hooks 55A, 55B to engage with the pair of annular members 58A, 58B.

[0045] This allows dog accessories (such as toilet sheets, urine pads, diapers, etiquette bands, and etiquette belts) to be securely attached and secured, and distributes the force of attaching and securing the accessories throughout the dog's body, preventing it from being concentrated on the neck or throat, significantly reducing the strain on the dog's body. This also significantly reduces the owner's workload, is hygienic, and allows the use of existing toilet sheets, making it low-cost and flexible to accommodate different dog body shapes. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the gripping means 40A-40G are provided on the back of the dog garment 10, preventing the dog 60 from accidentally biting or swallowing the accessories, ensuring safety.

[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the following modifications are also possible. (1) In the above embodiment, a male dog was used as an example, but this does not preclude female dogs from wearing the dog clothing of the present invention. Also, although dogs are the most suitable example, the clothing can be worn by other pets. Furthermore, the present invention is applicable to dogs of all sizes, from large to small. (2) The wearable article shown in the above embodiment is also an example, and is not limited to the toilet sheet 80, but may be a urine pad, manners band, manners belt, diaper, or the like.

[0047] (3) In the above embodiment, the fabric used to form the dog garment 10 has a certain degree of stretchability, but the stretchability of the fabric may be changed as needed. For example, in the case of a sick dog, the dog will likely be lying down for long periods of time, so a breathable gauze fabric is preferred. Although gauze fabric is not stretchable, the dog garment of the present invention has the advantage of being easy to put on and take off for the dog 60, even if the fabric is not stretchable.

[0048] (4) The dog clothing 10 shown in the above embodiment may be patterned or colored. Also, different materials may be used for parts of the clothing. (5) In the above embodiment, seven gripping means 40A to 40G are provided, but the number may be increased or decreased depending on individual differences between dogs 60. (6) The gripping method shown in FIG. 7 of the above embodiment is also one example, and the diaper may be gripped in any folding state as long as urine absorbed by the water-absorbent layer 84 does not get into the clothing.
