Segmented Cat Restraint Belt Set for Safe Veterinary Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cats' flexibility and sharp claws and teeth pose challenges during treatment and care, leading to potential injuries for caregivers due to limited access and risk of attack.
Innovation Solution
A fixed band belt set comprising a waist, neck, and ankle band belts with hook-and-loop fasteners and plastic prostheses, designed to securely fasten and restrict a cat's movement, preventing aggression and allowing safe treatment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a blanket or pocket is used to cover and fix a cat, then the cat's movement is restricted and safety is improved, but the type of care that can be performed is extremely limited
Solution Approach 1:
The restraint system is divided into multiple independent band belts (neck band belt, waist band belt, ankle band belts) that can be selectively applied. This segmentation allows the system to provide safety through strategic restraint of critical body parts while leaving other areas accessible for various types of veterinary care procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of completely covering the cat with a blanket, the invention applies restraint locally at specific anatomical locations (neck, waist, ankles) where it most effectively prevents harmful movements. This localized approach maintains safety while preserving access to the majority of the body for examination and treatment.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the cat is completely covered to prevent attacks, then safety is improved, but access to body parts for treatment is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The restraint system targets specific body segments (neck, waist, ankles) rather than covering the entire body. This segmented approach prevents the cat from using its sharp claws and teeth to attack while leaving the majority of the body surface accessible for veterinary procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The band belts act as intermediary restraint devices that control the cat's ability to move its head, paws, and body without requiring complete physical coverage. These intermediaries strategically limit dangerous movements while permitting necessary access for treatment.
3Reliability
If conventional covering methods are used, then the cat is prevented from attacking, but the complexity of the care process increases due to limited access
Solution Approach 1:
The care process is simplified by dividing the restraint into modular band belts that can be independently applied and adjusted. This segmentation reduces the complexity of the overall care process compared to managing a complete blanket cover, while maintaining protection from injury through strategic restraint of critical body parts.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The belt set effectively restricts a cat's movement, preventing attacks and allowing comfortable treatment by covering critical joints and bones, ensuring safety and ease of care.
Implementation Method 1
a belt body portion (110) having soft hook-and-loop fastener loops (112) formed on one end portion of an outer side thereof and a band winding part (120) having rough hook-and-loop fastener hooks (122) formed on an inner side thereof

AI summary
The present invention relates to a fixed band belt set for treating and caring for a cat, with which a veterinarian can easily treat and care for a cat by preventing unexpected accidents occurring when the cat attacks the veterinarian with sharp claws or teeth or touches the equipment due to the cat's mental anxiety during the treatment or care of the cat. The fixed band belt set includes a waist fixed band belt (100) in which a belt body portion (110) having soft hook-and-loop fastener loops (112) formed on one end portion of an outer side thereof and a band winding part (120) having rough hook-and-loop fastener hooks (122) formed on an inner side thereof are integrally formed, two sheets of outer cover fabrics are bonded and sewn, a cut cylindrical plastic prosthesis is inserted between the outer cover fabrics of the belt body portion (110), and a portion of the belt body portion (110) in which the belt body portion (110) and the band winding part (120) of the waist fixed band belt (100) are connected is formed in a shape in which a width is reduced.
