Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a partition member for closing off the inside of a breeding cage for pets such as small birds and small animals from the outside. This invention relates to a partition member that prevents the partition member from falling off.

(Prior Art) At present, pets are kept in cages in each household, and such cages are often structured in a grid or net shape so that the pets inside can be observed. The former breeding cage is formed into, for example, a box shape, with a large number of filaments arranged horizontally in a lattice shape with small gaps between them from the bottom plate. It is configured by providing horizontal stripes. The breeding cage is equipped with an entrance that can be opened and closed.

In the breeding cage described above, dirt from the pets accumulates on the bottom plate, so it must be cleaned as necessary.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When cleaning the filth, it is necessary to open the entrance and remove the filth from the bottom plate. At that time, the cleaning had to be done quickly to prevent the pet from escaping, and it was not possible to clean it slowly.

In response to the above-mentioned drawbacks, pet cages have also been provided in which the bottom plate is provided with a drawer having an opening large enough to prevent pets from escaping. According to this, although it is possible to pull out the drawer and take out the dirt and clean it neatly, it cannot be said to be sufficient.

This is because in order to raise pets, vegetables, fruits, or various types of food are fed to a food container inside the cage, but sometimes these spill out of the container and fall onto the bottom plate. Furthermore, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, birdcages and the like are provided in which a lattice-shaped inner bottom net is removably provided inside the bottom plate, as in Utility Model Publications No. 12-13554 and No. 39-25924. . However, when straw waste, etc. is placed on the inner bottom net for nest building, it remains without falling onto the bottom plate, so it is necessary to remove the inner bottom net when removing the bottom plate. Therefore, in any case, the inner bottom net had to be opened, and the risk of pets escaping was unavoidable.

Furthermore, the inner bottom net must match the inner peripheral shape of the birdcage, and a large number of them must be prepared depending on the size and shape, which is not only complicated, but also requires a device that can be added to an existing cage later. It was something that had not been talked about yet.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the applicant has filed an application for
No. 54857 provides partition members for pet cages. Since this partition member was composed of a wire portion and a connecting portion, it was simply placed on, for example, the horizontal wire of the car. For this reason, it has been found that when a small animal such as a squirrel moves on the partition member, it shifts from the partition position and falls off.

However, the present invention is a further improvement of the above-mentioned invention in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and allows the partition member to be positioned at the partition position of the breeding cage.
The purpose is to be able to clean the inside of the breeding cage neatly without letting the pets escape.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The feature of the partition member of the pet breeding cage according to the present invention for solving the above object is that it is composed of horizontal filaments and a large number of vertical filaments with a large number of gaps interposed therebetween. A wire member that is inserted from the outside into the gap between the vertical filaments to partition the interior of a pet breeding cage, and is made up of wires arranged in parallel from the other end with a number of insertion-permissible gaps in between. and a connecting part that connects one end of the wire rod part, and a locking member that is locked to the horizontal filament and holds the partition position.

(Operation of the invention) Grip the connection part of the partition member and insert the wire part through the small gap in the pet breeding cage. At that time, it is desirable to insert it so as to block the bottom plate part.
Push in the wire while moving the internal pet upward. When the wire rod part is inserted into the small gap on the other side, it becomes caught on the horizontal filament, so that the inside is completely blocked. In this state, the locking member is locked to the filament of the car and positioned.

After cleaning, release the lock between the locking member and the filament, grasp the connecting part, and pull out the partition member.
The wire portion comes off from the horizontal filament on the other side and is pulled out.

(One embodiment of the invention) Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the partition member of a pet cage according to the present invention, with Figure 1 being a perspective view of the same, and Figure 2 showing the cage of the pet cage. This perspective view shows the partitioned state of the pet cage, and a box-like lattice-shaped cage is illustrated as an example of the cage for breeding pets.

In the figure, 1 is a pet breeding cage, 2 is a vertical strip arranged horizontally in a lattice pattern to form the cage, and 3 is a pet breeding cage.
4 is a grid-like gap between the vertical lines 2, 4 is a horizontal line that intersects with the vertical lines 2, 5 is an inlet/outlet for pets, 6 is an inlet/outlet for dirt, etc., and 7 is a bottom plate portion.

A partition member 1 is inserted into the gap 3 from the outside of the pet breeding cage 1 to block the inside.
0 is provided in a removable manner. The partition member 10 has wire rod parts 11 formed by arranging a large number of straight members in parallel on the same plane with insertion allowable gaps 12 interposed therebetween, and a connecting part 13 that connects one end 11a of the wire rod parts 11. It consists of

The partition member 10 is provided with a hook 14 as a locking member that is locked to the filament of the car to maintain the partition position. Hook 1 above
4 extends above the connecting portion 13 that intersects with the wire portion 11, and has a hook-shaped hook portion 14a formed at its tip. In this case, the hook 14 is formed by bending a portion extending from one end 11a of one of the wire rod portions, or by fixing the hook portion to the connecting portion 13 by welding or the like. Further, the hook portion 14a is bent and extended toward the wire portion side from the connecting portion 13 so that it can be hooked.

According to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, the connecting portion 13 of the partition member 10 is held and
1b... is inserted through the gap 3... of the pet breeding cage 1. Preferably, by inserting the other end 11b of the wire rod along the lower bottom plate portion 7 of the horizontal filament 4, the wire rod portions 11 and the like are forced upwardly. After that, the other end 11b of the wire rod is connected to the horizontal filament 4 on the other side.
The partition position is maintained by placing the hook 14 on the upper side and hooking the hook 14a of the hook 14 to the horizontal filament 4 on one side.

After cleaning, grasp the connecting part 13, remove the hook part 14a from the horizontal wire 4 on one side, and pull out the partition member 10 from the car 1. It comes off from the article 2... and is pulled out to the outside.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment, since the hook 14 extends upward, the partition member 10 can be inserted from below the horizontal filament 4, and there is an advantage that pets can be pushed upward easily and reliably. . Further, since the hook 14 is made of a wire rod, the wire rod portion 11 can be extended or scrap materials can be used for the wire rod portion 11 and the connecting portion 13, so that the members can be used effectively.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of essential parts showing another embodiment of the partition member, and since the same reference numerals as in the previous figure indicate the same parts, repeated explanation will be omitted.

The connecting portion 13 of the partition member 20 is provided with a magnet 21 as a locking member. The wire portions 22 of the partition member 20 can be formed in a number that is smaller than the grid-like intervals 3 and at such intervals that pets do not escape. magnet 20
In addition to the magnet alone as shown in the figure, known materials such as a magnet combined with a yoke or a magnet mixed with rubber or the like can be selected.

According to this embodiment, either the vertical filaments 2 or the horizontal filaments 4 can be magnetized to perform partition positioning. Particularly, by magnetization, any partition position in the vertical direction of the vertical filament 4 can be selected.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of essential parts showing another embodiment of the partition member.

The connecting portion 31 of the partition member 30 is provided with a spring member 32 as a locking member.
The spring member 32 includes a base piece 33 that stands upward from the connecting part 31, and an insertion piece 34 that extends from the base piece 33 toward the other end of the wire, can be pushed into the gap 3, and has a bulged middle part. It is bent and formed from. The insertion piece portion 34 has a spring property with its free end 34a,
Intermediate bulging portion 34b and free end side engagement receiving portion 34c
It is made up of. 34d is a stopper piece for insertion. Further, the connecting portion 31 can be molded from synthetic resin.

According to this embodiment, the insertion piece 34 is inserted into the gap 3.
If the bulging portion 34b is pressed against the spring property, it will return elastically, so that the engagement receiving portion 34c
This leads to engagement. Furthermore, since the connecting portion 31 is made of synthetic resin, each wire rod can be held together with an insert or the like, and the wire rod gap 12 can be adjusted depending on the flexibility of the material. can.

Although not shown in the drawings, it is also possible to use other locking members having a locking structure such as a chain, a string-like body, or a Velcro fastener that has a locking structure at the tip. It can also be attached to 11a.

Furthermore, although not shown in the drawings, for a circular cage, it is desirable that the other end of the wire rod be arcuate, and the width of the end side during the insertion process is It is possible to create a structure in which each filament is inserted into the narrow portion while adjusting the spacing between the filaments. The flexible structure can be designed such that the connecting portion 13 is made of such a synthetic resin or has a thin structure.

It goes without saying that the above embodiments can be modified and combined with each other.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, according to the invention, after gripping the connecting part etc. and inserting the wire part into the gap from the outside of the pet breeding cage to partition the inside, the locking member is attached to the cage. It was possible to hold the partition position by locking it to the filament. As a result, there is no risk of the partition becoming dislodged even if the pets run wild on the partition member, and the interior of the car can be cleaned easily from the entrance/exit of the car.

In particular, since one end of the partition member is inserted from the outside into the inside, it is possible to partition the cage while driving the pets upwards, and it is possible to completely prevent pets from escaping. In addition, since it is partitioned from the outside of the basket, it can be used regardless of the shape and size of the basket, or whether or not it has an inner bottom net, and it can also be used later on with existing baskets, so it has practical value. It's expensive.
