Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pre-communication unit and a pet harness including the same, and more specifically, to a pre-communication unit that enables the pet to recognize the guardian's intentions in advance and a pet harness including the same. Background Technology

[0002] Recently, wearing a leash has been mandatory when walking or engaging in outdoor activities with pets, preventing dogs from escaping human control and suddenly becoming aggressive toward others other than their owners to cause harm.

[0003] However, conventional leashes are securely fastened so that the pet's head does not slip off, making it easy to restrain the pet, but they also cause the fur on the pet's neck to be severely flattened, making it look unsightly, and they cause pain by strongly constricting the pet's neck.

[0004] In other words, the more the pet dog tries to move its body forcibly, the more its body is restrained; while this may have the advantage of making it easier for the owner to control the dog, it has been followed by negative physical or emotional effects on the pet.

[0005] To address these issues, the use of harnesses that are worn over the entire body of pets, designed to minimize physical restraint, has recently been increasing.

[0006] However, pets instinctively recognize their owner's control when a leash is placed around their neck or when their neck is pulled; conversely, when wearing a harness, they do not perceive themselves as being controlled compared to the aforementioned connecting strap type of leash, leading to the problem of them becoming easily agitated and attempting to run away.

[0007] Due to this problem, it is difficult to control the pet when it is wearing a harness, so the owner tries to control the leash more tightly. At this time, an external force is directly applied to the pet's body due to the reaction force corresponding to the pulling action of the leash. Consequently, when the pet wears a harness, stress accumulates and the pet experiences trauma regarding free movement.

[0008] However, conventional harnesses merely improve the comfort and ease of use for pets, and do not adequately consider the emotional aspects of the animals. Prior art literature

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0029] To fully understand the present invention, preferred embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described in detail below. These embodiments are provided to more completely explain the present invention to those with average knowledge in the art. Accordingly, the shapes of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated to emphasize clearer explanations. It should be noted that in each drawing, identical components may be depicted with the same reference numeral. Detailed descriptions of known functions and configurations that are deemed to unnecessarily obscure the essence of the present invention are omitted.

[0030] The present invention relates to a pre-communication member (10) made of a flexible material having a constant length in the longitudinal direction and having both ends connected to a pet harness, and a pet harness (hereinafter referred to as a harness) including the pre-communication member (10). Below, the pre-communication member (10) is first described in general.

[0031] The pre-communication unit (10) can be applied to harnesses of various structures and, when a pet wearing the harness moves suddenly, it elastically deforms in response to the direction of movement of the moving pet to primarily cushion the traction force applied to the guardian, or conversely, when the guardian pulls the leash while the pet is stationary, it primarily cushions the traction force applied to the harness, and at this time, by primarily applying a predetermined elastic traction force toward the pet, it prevents the pet from being suddenly subjected to excessive traction force, and at the same time, it functions to convey the guardian's intention to the pet in advance so that the pet can recognize it.

[0032] Preferably, the pre-communication unit (10) has a structure that is detachable from the harness so that it can be universally applied to various types of harnesses, and in some cases, it may be completely fixed on the harness and formed integrally with the harness.

[0033] The above-mentioned pre-communication section (10) is attached to the harness so as to cross the back of the pet from left to right at the upper front of the harness, with both left and right ends each attached to the outside of the harness wearing section, and the section excluding the attached left and right ends is spaced apart from the harness wearing section (100) and can be caught on a hooking means (211) provided on the lead section (200).

[0034] More specifically, the above-mentioned pre-communication member (10) may be exemplified as comprising an elastic body (11) having a certain length and made of a flexible material, a first fastening means (12) formed at one end of the elastic body (11) and coupled to a fastening member (first fastening member) formed on a pet harness, and a second fastening means (13) formed at the other end of the elastic body and coupled to a fastening member (second fastening member) to which the first fastening means (12) is not coupled.

[0035] That is, a first fastening means (12) is formed at one end of the elastic body (11) and a second fastening means (13) is formed at the other end, and the structure is formed such that the first fastening means (12) and the second fastening means (13) are combined on the wearing part (100) of the harness.

[0036] At this time, the harness may be provided with a fastening member for connecting the first fastening means (12) and the second fastening means (13), or in the case of a harness that does not have a separate fastening member, the first fastening means (12) and the second fastening means (13) themselves may be modified into a structure such as a clamp that can be selectively connected by gripping the outer surface of the harness.

[0037] The first fastening means (12) and the second fastening means (13) may be detachably coupled to a fastener, or in some cases, the first fastening means (12) and the second fastening means (13) may be integrally fixedly coupled to a fastener and provided integrally in a harness.

[0038] A fixed loop (14) in the form of a closed ring may be formed in the center of the elastic body (11), and the fixed loop (14) may be pulled to a locking means (211) of the lead part (200) and locked in the locking means (211).

[0039] Accordingly, the elastic body (11) has a structure in which both ends are fixed on the fastener and the central fixed loop (14) is caught on the catch means (211) of the lead part (200), so that the elastic body (11) does not slip on the lead part (200) even when the lead part (200) is pulled in various directions or the pet runs in an unspecified direction, thereby allowing the primary traction force to be applied to the pet more stably.

[0040] The pre-interaction unit (10) is structured such that a portion of the section between the two ends, excluding the first fastening means (12) and the second fastening means (13) attached to the harness, i.e., the fixed loop (14), is pulled and hooked by the hooking means (211) of the lead unit (200) by the elastic deformation of the elastic body (11), thereby primarily applying traction force to the moving pet. When the pre-interaction unit (10) is not in use, there is no need to completely separate the pre-interaction unit (10) itself from the harness; instead, as shown in FIG. 4, if the fixed loop (14) of the elastic body (11) hooked by the hooking means (211) is separated from the hooking means (211), the connection between the pre-interaction unit (10) itself and the lead unit (200) is released, and the action of the pre-interaction unit (10) does not reach the harness. At the same time, since the pre-interaction unit (10) remains attached to the harness, the pre-interaction unit (10) can be stored separately. You can easily prevent loss without needing to.

[0041] The elastic body (11) is configured to be flexible and extendable in the longitudinal direction and can be made of an elastic material such as a coil spring or a rubber band, which extends in response when a guardian pulls the lead part (200) and quickly contracts when the pulling lead part (200) is released.

[0042] In addition, depending on the case, in addition to uniform shapes such as bands, strings, and shapes of a certain length, it can be modified into elastic loop shapes, geometric three-dimensional shapes, etc. That is, by utilizing the pre-communication part (10) as an accessory to add aesthetic elements to the harness, the appearance of the harness can be made more beautiful.

[0043] In order to explain the specific structure and operational effects of the pre-communication unit (10), the explanation of the structure of the harness (20) is inseparable, so it will be explained in detail together with the explanation of the harness (20) below.

[0044] A harness (20) according to the present invention can be exemplified as comprising, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a wearing portion (100), a lead portion (200), and a pre-communication portion (10).

[0045] The wearing portion (100) is a part worn on the body of a pet, and the leash portion (200) and the pre-communication portion (10) may be combined on the outside. The leash portion (200) is a long string-shaped member held by a guardian and may refer to a conventional leash. A catch means (211) may be formed on the outside of the leash portion (200) to which the pre-communication portion (10) is pulled and caught.

[0046] First, the wearing part (100) can be modified into various structures depending on the species, size, etc. of the pet, and for example, it may be exemplified by including a neck band (110) that wraps around the front of the pet's chest and has a first fastening member (111) and a second fastening member (112) formed on the left and right sides, a chest band (120) that wraps around the rear of the pet's chest, a connecting band (130) that connects the neck band (110) and the chest band (120) and crosses the upper part of the pet's chest and has a ring support member (131) formed on the outside, and a ring member (140) that is coupled to the ring support member (131) and has a lead part (200) connected on the outside.

[0047] The neck band (110) and chest band (120) are each formed in the form of a strap long enough to sufficiently wrap around the neck and chest of the pet, respectively, and can be formed with Velcro, buckles, etc. to connect the two ends.

[0048] The neck band (110), chest band (120), and connecting band (130) are made of non-stretchable fabric or leather, unlike the pre-communication part (10), and firmly wrap around and restrain the pet's body.

[0049] A first fastener (111) formed on the neck band (110) can be formed symmetrically on the left side of the neck band (110) and a second fastener (112) can be formed symmetrically on the right side of the neck band (110) based on FIG. 6.

[0050] The first fastening means (12) of the pre-communication unit (10) can be connected to the first fastening member (111), and the second fastening means (13) of the pre-communication unit (10) can be connected to the second fastening member (112).

[0051] When the wearing part (100) is worn on the body of a pet, the neck band (110) crosses left and right between the neck and front legs of the pet, the chest band (120) crosses left and right behind the front legs and chest area, and the connecting band (130) crosses the spine area of ​​the pet back and forth.

[0052] For comfort, cushions may be formed on the sides of the neck band (110), chest band (120), and connecting band (130) facing the pet's body.

[0053] Although not shown, the neck band (110) and chest band (120) may have means for selectively segmenting their length or for length adjustment formed therein.

[0054] The neck band (110) and the chest band (120) may be connected as a single unit, but in this embodiment, they are illustrated as being connected to each other through a connecting band (130) as individual components.

[0055] The connecting band (130) serves as a medium for interconnecting the neck band (110), chest band (120), and lead part (200).

[0056] Next, the lead portion (200) may be exemplified as including a lead string (210) having a handle (not shown) formed at one end and a hooking means (211) attached to the outside, and a hook member (220) formed at the other end of the lead string (210) and attached to the loop member (140).

[0057] The leash (210) may have a certain length, and the handle is a part for the guardian to hold with their hand. The pre-interaction part (10) is pulled and hooked onto the hooking means (211) formed on the outer side of the leash (210).

[0058] The hanging member (220) is a conventional carabiner structure that can be selectively attached to the ring member (140), and when the hanging member (220) attached to the ring member (140) detaches from the ring member (140), the lead portion (200) and the wearing portion (100) can be separated from each other.

[0059] The hanging means (211) can be formed in various structures such that it can be hung by pulling the fixed loop (14) of the pre-communication part (10) which is fixedly coupled to the wearing part (100), and the hanging means (211) also has a structure that can move along the length of the lead string (210) along the lead string (210).

[0060] For example, the hooking means (211) may be exemplified as including a moving ring (211a) through which a lead string (210) passes, and a fixing hook (211b) formed on the outer side of the moving ring (211a) and on which a fixing loop (14) formed in the center of the elastic body (11) is hooked.

[0061] The above fixed hook (211b) can be implemented in the form of a hook, a protrusion, a carabiner structure, etc.

[0062] Accordingly, both ends of the elastic body (11) are each fixedly coupled to the wearing part (100), and the fixed loop (14) is pulled and hooked by the fixed hook (211b) of the hooking means (211). At this time, since the hooking means (211) itself can move along the length direction of the leash (210), even if the guardian pulls the leash (210) in various directions or the pet runs in an unspecified direction, the primary traction force provided by the pre-communication part (10) can be prevented from being excessively applied to the pet.

[0063] Next, the pre-consensual part (10) is made of a flexible material and has a constant length in the longitudinal direction, and both ends are connected to the wearing part (100).

[0064] For example, both ends of the above-mentioned pre-communication section (10) are respectively connected to the first fastener (111) and the second fastener (112), and the section excluding the connected ends is configured to be elastically separated from the neck band (110) and pulled to the hooking means (211) formed on the lead strap (210) and hooked.

[0065] The pre-communication unit (10) combined in this manner functions to primarily cushion the traction force applied to the guardian by elastically deforming in response to the direction of movement of the pet wearing the harness (20) when the pet suddenly moves, or conversely, to primarily cushion the traction force applied to the harness (20) when the guardian pulls the leash while the pet is stationary, thereby preventing excessive traction force from being applied to the pet, and at the same time, to primarily apply traction force to the pet with a predetermined elastic traction force so that the guardian's intention can be conveyed to the pet in advance and recognized.

[0066] Preferably, the pre-communication unit (10) has a structure that is detachable from the wearing unit (100) so that it can be universally applied to various types of harnesses, and in some cases, it may be completely fixed on the wearing unit (100) and formed integrally with the harness.

[0067] For example, the pre-communication unit (10) may be exemplified as comprising an elastic body (11) made of a retractable elastic material and having a certain length, and first and second fastening means (12, 13) formed at both ends of the elastic body (11) and connected to a pet harness (20) so as to be detachably attached or completely fixed.

[0068] At this time, the first fastening means (12) is formed at one end of the elastic body (11) and is coupled to the first fastening member (111) formed on the neck band (110) of the wearing part (100), and the second fastening means (13) is formed at the other end of the elastic body (11) and can be coupled to the second fastening member (112) to which the first fastening means (12) is not coupled.

[0069] The elastic body (11) is configured to be flexibly stretchable in the longitudinal direction, with both ends fixed to the neck band (110) and the middle point pulled toward the lead portion (200) and caught on the catch means (211) formed on the lead string (210).

[0070] For example, a fixed loop (14) in the form of a closed ring may be formed in the center of the elastic body (11), and the fixed loop (14) may be pulled to the locking means (211) of the lead part (200) and locked in the locking means (211).

[0071] In some cases, when the pre-interaction part (10) is separated from the catch means (211) of the lead part (200), the pre-interaction part (10) contracts as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and is in a state of being in close contact with the neck band (110), thereby minimizing the foreign object sensation for the pet and, at the same time, avoiding unnecessary interference with the lead part (200).

[0072] When the pre-communication unit (10) is not in use, there is no need to completely separate the pre-communication unit (10) itself from the harness (20); instead, only the fixed loop (14) portion that is hooked to the fixed hook (211b) of the hooking means (211) is separated, and the action of the pre-communication unit (10) does not reach the harness (20). At the same time, since the pre-communication unit (10) is maintained attached to the harness (20), it is easy to prevent loss without the need to store the pre-communication unit (10) separately. In addition, the pre-communication unit (10) is structured to wrap around the neck band (110) and is fixed in a position where the pet cannot bite or tear off the pre-communication unit (10), thereby preventing damage to the pre-communication unit (10).

[0073] In addition, when using the pre-communication unit (10), the pre-communication unit (10) in the state shown in FIG. 4 can be easily connected between the lead unit (200) and the wearing unit (100) by simply lifting the fixed loop (14) of the central part with one hand as shown in FIG. 1 and hooking it onto the fixed hook (211b) of the hooking means (211).

[0074] When the pre-communication unit (10) is in a state where it is caught on the catch means (211), if the guardian pulls the lead unit (200), the pre-communication unit (10) extends in response, and if the pulling lead unit (200) is released, it can be quickly contracted.

[0075] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the first and second fastening means (12, 13) and the fasteners (first and second fasteners) to which the first and second fastening means (12, 13) are connected and coupled can be implemented in various forms such that they are detachable from each other.

[0076] For example, the first and second fastening means (12, 13) and the fastener should be understood as a concept that includes snap buttons, Velcro, male and female projection coupling structures, etc., and it is stated that if the first and second fastening means (12, 13) are to be fixedly coupled integrally on the fastener, stitching structures, etc. may also be included.

[0077] When adopting the known snap button structure, the first and second fastening means (12, 13) coupled to the fastener (first and second fastener) are structured to be rotatable on the fastener, thereby easily coupling the pre-communication unit (10) and freely assisting the movement of the pet.

[0078] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 7, when the pre-communication part (10) is pulled and hooked by the hooking means (211) and no traction force is applied to the lead part (200), the other end of the lead part (200) is pulled toward the wearing part (100) by the elastic force of the pre-communication part (10), causing the other end of the lead part (200) to twist irregularly and create some length margin.

[0079] As a result, when the guardian pulls the leash (200) in direction ① in the state shown in FIG. 7, the locking means (211) moves toward the other end of the leash (210), and when it reaches a point where it can no longer move due to the anti-detachment stopper (212) provided at the other end of the leash (210), the pre-communication part (10) responds to being pulled and extends before the neck band (110) or chest band (120), thereby applying a signal to the pet that the guardian is pulling the leash (200), such as a predetermined primary traction force. In that state, if the guardian continues to pull the leash (200), as shown in FIG. 8, from the elastic deformation limit point where the pre-communication part (10) can no longer extend, a traction force is applied directly to the non-stretchable neck band (110) or chest band (120) through the connecting band (130) connected to the leash (200), thereby applying a secondary force to the pet that is relatively stronger than the primary traction force. It is that traction force is applied.

[0080] In other words, when the guardian pulls the leash (200), a primary traction force by the pre-communication unit (10) is applied to the pet at that moment, allowing the pet to recognize in advance that it is being pulled by the guardian, and then the non-stretchable neck band (110), chest band (120), etc., for controlling the pet's behavior are safely restrained.

[0081] That is, when the lead part (200) is pulled, the pre-communication part (10) undergoes elastic deformation up to an appropriate level, and at the limit point, no further elastic deformation occurs. Then, through the connecting band (130) connected to the lead part (200), a traction force can be directly applied to the non-stretchable neck band (110) or chest band (120), thereby allowing the pet to be controlled within a limited range and preventing damage or plastic deformation caused by excessive elongation of the pre-communication part (10).

[0082] In addition, in addition to the act of the guardian pulling the lead part (200), if the pet moves rapidly, the pre-communication part (10) acts as a buffer, so that the pulling force applied to the pet can be effectively buffered.

[0083] Due to this structure, when the guardian pulls the lead part (200), the pulling shock is not immediately applied to the wearing part (100), and the pre-communication part (10) reacts to the pulling force first and elastically extends to a certain length to cushion the shock, thereby allowing the pet to recognize the guardian's intention in advance by applying only a predetermined elastic pulling force.

[0084] Accordingly, when the harness (20) according to the present invention is worn and the aforementioned prior recognition process is repeatedly learned, the pet recognizes the guardian's intention with only a predetermined elastic traction force and shows a tendency to control its own behavior.

[0085] Meanwhile, to adjust the elasticity of the pre-communication part (10), as shown in FIG. 9, the first fastener (111) and the second fastener (112) are each formed in a row at equal intervals on the neck band (110), and the hooking means (211) can be fixedly formed in a number at equal intervals along the length direction of the lead string (210).

[0086] Accordingly, the elasticity of the pre-communication unit (10) itself can be adjusted according to the situation by adjusting the connection point of the pre-communication unit (10) to fit the body size of pets of various sizes, or by adjusting the length when the pre-communication unit (10) is connected to the wearing unit (100).

[0087] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, since both ends of the pre-communication part (10) are fixed to the left and right sides of the wearing part (100) respectively and the fixing loop (14) of the middle part is pulled and supported by the hooking means (211), when the harness (20) is viewed from above as shown in FIG. 3, the pre-communication part (10) is combined in a 'V' shape on the wearing part (100) and the lead part (200).

[0088] Accordingly, when a sudden straight movement of the pet occurs, as well as a movement biased to the left or right, it can be cushioned more evenly. When the lead part (200) is pulled from the center of the wearing part (100), the traction force is evenly distributed to a pair of left and right pre-communication parts (10) of the wearing part (100), thereby preventing the pet from feeling discomfort or losing its balance due to more traction force being applied to a specific part.

[0090] Hereinafter, other embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. In the following embodiments, various modified embodiments of the wearable part are disclosed.

[0091] The wearing portion (100) in this embodiment may be exemplified as including a neck band (110) that wraps around the neck portion of a pet, a chest band (120) that wraps around the chest portion of a pet, a pair of connecting members (130) that each connect both ends of the neck band (110) and the chest band (120), and a tightening member (140) that is connected by passing through the pair of connecting members (130) and to which the lead portion (200) is coupled.

[0092] At this time, both ends of the pre-communication unit (10) may be connected to the pair of connecting members (130) respectively. In some cases, both ends of the pre-communication unit (10) may be connected to the tightening member (140) respectively.

[0093] Preferably, the pre-communication part (10) has both ends fixed to the connecting member (130), and the fixing loop (14) of the middle part can be pulled to the lead part (200) and hooked onto the fixing hook (211b) of the hooking means (211).

[0094] The connecting member (130) serves as a medium for mutually connecting the neck band (110), chest band (120), tightening member (140), and pre-communication member (10), and may be formed in the shape of a ring with a connecting hole (131) formed in the center.

[0095] The neck band (110), chest band (120), and tightening member (140), which are connected to each other by the connecting member (130), form a closed structure that accommodates the pet's body in the center. In particular, when the tightening member (140) is pulled by the guardian, the tightening member (140) causes a pair of connecting members (130) to be guided toward each other, thereby applying a tightening force to the pet restrained between the neck band (110), chest band (120), and tightening member (140). The specific operation of the tightening member (140) will be described later.

[0096] That is, in the pre-communication member (10) exemplified by the elastic body (11), the first fastening means (12), and the second fastening means (13) as described above, the first fastening means (12) can be connected to the left connecting member (130), and the second fastening means (13) can be connected to the right connecting member (130), respectively.

[0097] Due to this structure, when a guardian pulls the lead portion (200) in the direction ① shown in FIG. 13, the tightening member (140) connected to the lead portion (200) is pulled together in the direction in which the lead portion (200) is pulled, and the pre-interaction portion (10) can respond to the pulling force first and elastically extend to a certain length. Since this operation is the same as the operation in the previously described embodiment, a detailed explanation is omitted.

[0098] Meanwhile, unlike the neck band (110) and chest band (120), which have both ends fixed to a pair of connecting members (130), the tightening member (140) has a form that passes through a pair of connecting members (130). For example, the tightening member (140) is exemplified as including a tightening band (142) that mutually penetrates the pair of connecting members (130) in a closed loop form, and a control ring (143) that is coupled to the outside of the tightening band (142) and moves along the tightening band (142) to adjust the tightening amount of the tightening band (142).

[0099] A hook member (220) of the lead portion (200) can be attached to the tightening band (142), and an adjustment ring (143) is fitted and connected to the outside in a partially folded state.

[0100] The tightening band (142) is structured to pass through the connecting hole (131) of a pair of left and right connecting members (130), so that when the guardian pulls or releases the lead part (200), it passes freely through the connecting hole (131).

[0101] The adjustment ring (143) has a through hole in the center, and a folded tightening band (142) is received through the through hole in the center. Accordingly, the tightening band (142) is connected to the connecting member (130) and takes on a triangular shape.

[0102] In this situation, as illustrated in FIG. 15, if the adjustment ring (143) is moved in the direction of the connecting member (130) or the opposite direction, the connecting member (130) moves in a direction closer to or further away from each other, and the tightening force of the neck band (110) and the chest band (120) applied to the pet changes.

[0103] That is, when the adjustment ring (143) is moved in the direction of the connecting member (130), the distance between the pair of connecting members (130) is shortened, and the tightening force of the neck band (110) and chest band (120) is improved.

[0104] In addition, even when the tightening band (142) is pulled momentarily, the width between the pair of connecting members (130) is reduced, and the tightening force of the neck band (110) and the chest band (120) is improved, so the pet can be quickly controlled by pulling the leash (200) when the pet suddenly exhibits erratic behavior.

[0105] Meanwhile, a tightening stopper (144) that is caught and supported by the connecting member (130) may be formed on the outer side of the tightening band (142), and the tightening stopper (144) has a size such that it cannot pass through the connecting hole (131).

[0106] The tightening stopper (144) is positioned around the connecting member (130) in the section between the pair of connecting members (130) and serves to limit the movable range of the tightening band (142). The tightening stopper (144) is attached to the outside of the tightening band (142) and can be provided in a form that allows for positional movement along the length of the tightening band (142).

[0107] In addition to the described embodiment, it is revealed that the wearable part (100) can be modified into various structures as shown in FIG. 16.

[0108] The embodiments of the present invention described above are merely illustrative, and those skilled in the art will readily understand that various modifications and equivalent alternative embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, it will be understood that the present invention is not limited only to the forms mentioned in the detailed description above. Accordingly, the true technical scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims. Furthermore, the present invention should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
