Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement of a pet house that includes a peripheral wall, a floor, and a roof having an entrance/exit for pets on at least one side wall.

When raising pets, for example, dogs, many small items such as chains, ropes, brushes, shampoos, scoops, collars, and tableware are required. Conventionally, these small items, such as scoops and tableware, were kept outside the house. In addition, other items are generally stored inside the house, which requires the hassle of carrying them each time they are used or stored, and requires a special place for storage. Moreover, it was easy to dissipate small items.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and includes a pet house in which an entrance for a pet is formed in at least one side wall of a room surrounded by a peripheral wall, a roof, and a floor. A door is provided, a storage space for small items is formed in the entire upper space by a shelf formed across the inner surface of the peripheral side wall in the upper part of the space of the room, and a ventilation louver is provided on the side wall corresponding to the storage space for small items. In addition, an article loading/unloading port for the small article storage space is provided above the door, and further, a front surface of the article loading/unloading opening is engaged with a pair of left and right locking members provided at an upper end side of the article loading/unloading opening. The left and right bending plates have grooves and elongated holes into which the pair of left and right locking members provided at the lower end of the article loading/unloading port are loosely fitted, and when in a lifted state, can rotate in the vertical direction using the lower part as a fulcrum. The door is characterized by an opening/closing lid that can be opened and closed freely and hangs down in front of the door when opened.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

The shelf 8 forming the accessory storage space A has downwardly bent plate portions 8b that contact the inner surfaces of the rear wall 3 and the left and right side walls 4 and 5 on the four sides of the shelf main body 8a, and a stepped plate portion 15c of the upper frame 15. It is formed by forming a downwardly bent plate part 8c connected to the rising surface, and a horizontal plate part 8d which is bent inward from the lower end of this bent plate part 8c and whose surface abuts on the horizontal surface of the stepped plate part 15c, Third
As shown in the figure, a bolt 27 is inserted into holes a and b formed in the left and right side walls 4 and 5 and left and right bent plate parts 8b and 8b that contact the inner surfaces thereof, respectively, and a nut 28 is inserted into this bolt 27. It is attached by screwing it on.

Incidentally, the left, right and rear bending plate parts 8b of the shelf 8 may be bent upward to ensure the safety of the pet. Also, bolts 27 are attached to the left and right bent plate portions 8b.
A threaded portion for the shelf 8 is formed by burring or the like, and the shelf 8 is attached to the left and right side walls 4, without using the nuts 28.
5 may be attached.

In this way, the small article storage space A, which has the article inlet/outlet 9 on the door 14 side of the front wall 2, is a room surrounded by the four side walls 2, 3, 4, 5, the roof 6, and the floor 7. It is formed above the space B of .

The opening/closing door 10 for the article loading/unloading port 9 has plate portions 10b on the four sides of the lid main body 10a that bend towards the accessory storage space A side in the closed state, and a reinforcing plate portion 1 that bends downward from the inside of the upper plate portion 10b.
0c, and the left and right bent plate portions 10
Each of b and 10b is provided with an L-shaped groove 29 on its upper side, which consists of a vertical groove 29a and a horizontal groove 29b that connects to the lower end of this groove 29a and opens at its edge. , a long hole 30 in the vertical direction is bored in the lower end side, and as shown in FIG. 4, between the head 20a and the screw shaft part 20b,
A step as a locking member integrally formed with a step portion 20c having a smaller diameter than the head 20a, a slightly larger diameter than the width of the screw shaft portion 20b and the elongated hole 30, and also being slightly longer than the thickness of the bent plate portion 10b. With the bolt 20, the opening/closing lid 10 can be slid vertically in the closed state, and rotated vertically around the stepped bolt 20 with the bottom as a fulcrum when lifted upward along the elongated hole 30. Left and right front pillars 1 that can be opened and closed freely.
It is pivoted to 1. Further, when the door 10 is opened, the cover 10 is in a hanging state so as not to contact the front side of the door 14, so that it does not interfere with the opening and closing of the door 14. Further, the front part of the roof 6 is formed so as not to hinder the rotational opening and closing of the opening/closing lid 10.

Then, the stepped bolt 31 as a locking member having the same shape as the stepped bolt 20 is attached to the left and right front pillars so that the horizontal groove portion 29b of the groove 29 is engaged and disengaged as the opening/closing lid 10 is rotated in the lifted state. 1, 1, the opening/closing lid 10 is kept locked in the closed state when the upper part of the vertical groove 29a is engaged with the step bolt 31, and the opening/closing door 10 is held in the lifted state of the opening/closing lid 10. It can be opened and closed.

The opening/closing lid 10 and the left and right side walls 4 and 5 are provided with ventilation louvers 32 for communicating the accessory storage space A with the outside, and furthermore, the left and right side walls 4 and 5 are provided with shelves 8. A ventilation louver 33 is also provided at the lower position, and natural ventilation is provided to prevent hot air from accumulating in the accessory storage space A closed by the opening/closing lid 10 and in the room space B below it. It is designed so that it can be

In the accessory storage space A, necessary items are stored depending on the pet being raised, such as chains and brushes when raising a dog, and therefore items necessary for walking the dog, feeding the dog, etc. can be prepared immediately, and can be easily stored when no longer needed, thereby eliminating the loss of small items.

Since the roof has a double structure due to the formation of the small item storage space A, it is possible to expect a heat insulating effect due to the air layer in the small item storage space A. Not only can temperature rise be suppressed, but also the environment inside the pet house can be improved by the synergistic ventilation provided by the ventilation louvers 32.

Furthermore, when grounding a pet house outdoors, the lower part of the house's eaves is generally chosen, but in this case, after the rain has stopped, rainwater often drips from the eaves and falls onto the roof. It is also possible to prevent the sound of rain from being directly transmitted to room space B.

Further, since the opening/closing lid 10 provided on the entire surface of the article loading/unloading port 9 is designed to be opened and closed by pivoting in the vertical direction using the lower part as a fulcrum, its mounting structure is simple, and the opening/closing operation can be performed with a single touch. In addition, since the opening/closing lid 10 is in a hanging state when opened, the entire surface of the article loading/unloading port 9 is free of obstructions, allowing easy access to the back of the small article storage space A, and operations for loading and unloading articles. It's easy.

In the above embodiment, the shelf 8 is supported by being in surface contact with the stepped plate portion 15c of the upper frame 15, and the left and right plate portions 8b, 8b are bolted to and supported by the left and right side walls 4, 5. However, it goes without saying that the shelf 8 may be supported by the upper frame 15 and the rear wall 3 or the left and right side walls 4 and 5.

Furthermore, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.
A blinding board 36 that is substantially flush with the rail board 16b and whose upper surface is substantially flush with the top surface of the blinding board 13 of the door 14 may be provided integrally with the lower frame 16. Of course.

As explained above, in the present invention, small items can be stored in the entire upper space by a shelf formed above the inner surface of the circumferential wall in the space of the room surrounded by the circumferential wall, the roof, and the floor. Since it forms a storage space, you can use the upper space of the room to store various small items necessary for your pets, and as a result, you can quickly store the small items you need without having to carry them around. In addition to being able to prepare them, it is also easy to store them, and there is no longer a need for a place for storing small items separate from the pet house as in the past, making it possible to effectively prevent the loss of small items.

In the present invention, the small item storage space is formed over the entire upper part of the room, so it is possible to expect the effects of heat insulation and soundproofing on the roof, and small items can be stored on the side wall corresponding to the small item storage space. Since a ventilation louver is provided to communicate the space with the outside, the ventilation effect synergistic with the above-mentioned insulation effect can greatly improve the living environment for pets. This has the effect of preventing odors from getting stuck in the storage space for small items.

In the present invention, an article loading/unloading port for the small article storage space is provided above the door, and a groove that engages with a pair of left and right locking members provided at the upper end of the article loading/unloading port, The left and right bending plates have elongated holes in which the pair of left and right locking members provided on the lower end side are loosely fitted, and the opening/closing device can be opened and closed in a vertically pivotable manner using the lower part as a fulcrum in the lifted state. Since the lid is provided on the entire surface of the article loading/unloading opening so that it hangs in front of the door when the lid is opened, the installation structure of the opening/closing lid is simple, and the opening/closing operation can be done with a single touch. Since it has a structure that opens and closes when it is lifted up, it has the advantage that it will not easily come off even if the pet moves in the room and generates strong vibrations. Furthermore, since the opening/closing lid hangs down in front of the door when opened, there is no obstacle in front of the loading/unloading opening, and it is easy to load and unload articles.

Furthermore, in the case where a swinging door is provided at the bottom, when the upper opening/closing lid is opened, it is necessary to hold it with other members such as a support rod. No parts are required, thus simplifying the construction.
