Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is mainly applied to experimental animals, such as rats,
This relates to animal transport boxes used for transporting mice, rabbits, etc.

(Prior Art) Conventional animal transport boxes are mainly made of cardboard or the like. There are also cases where animal repellents are attached to the inner walls of cardboard boxes, and there are also cases where wire mesh is attached to the inner walls of the cardboard boxes.

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) Conventional animal transport boxes made of cardboard, etc.
It is susceptible to moisture and moisture, expands with animal excrement, etc., becomes tattered, and is easily chewed and damaged, making it not a safe animal transportation box. In addition, animal repellents attached to the inner walls of boxes such as cardboard boxes have no effect on moisture and humidity, and the use of this type of agent is not recommended for experimental animals such as mice, rats, etc. It has an adverse effect on germ-free animals such as rabbits, and also has an undesirable effect on the health and well-being of the workers in the process of producing these boxes.

In particular, large animals and so-called elderly animals that have grown into older animals excrete more sweat and urine and become more active. There has been a demand for a ridged transport box that can withstand even week-old animals. Cardboard boxes with wire mesh attached to the inner walls are now available for use with older animals, but this makes it easier for animals to get injured, is expensive to manufacture, and is heavy.
It was inconvenient to transport.

(Means for solving the problem) Therefore, the technical problem of this project is to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional animal transportation box, and to create a container that is strong against breakage by bacteria and fingernails, and that is resistant to sweat and dirt. An excellent transport box that is resistant to water such as urine, absorbs moisture generated inside the box, prevents water from accumulating inside the box, does not harm the animal's health, and provides a good internal environment. The technical means of this proposal to solve this technical problem is to create a sheet made of a sandwich structure by laminating sheets made of a paper material on both sides of a sheet made of a synthetic resin film. It is constructed from wood.

In other words, the present invention involves laminating a sheet made of synthetic resin such as polyester on a paper member made of kraft paper, liner paper, etc., and on top of that a sheet made of kraft paper, liner paper, or cardboard made of these paper materials. This is an animal transport box characterized by being constructed from a sheet material made of laminated paper members.

(Example) The present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 are cross-sectional views showing examples of the sheet material of the present invention, Figure 3 is a perspective view of a transport box made by assembling the sheet materials of the present invention, and Figure 4 is its development. Show the diagram.

1 is a paper member made of kraft paper, liner paper, etc., and is constructed inside the box. A synthetic resin sheet 2 made of a synthetic resin film is laminated on one side of the paper member 1, and a paper member 3 made of kraft paper or liner paper is further laminated on the surface of the synthetic resin sheet 2.

1, the paper member is formed as an inner wall assembled inside the box, and absorbs moisture such as sweat, breath, and urine of the animal. Therefore, in order to prevent the moisture from adhering to the animal's body and contaminating it,
It is possible to maintain an environment similar to a breeding cage in a laboratory or the like.

The synthetic resin sheet 2 is made of a film made of synthetic resin such as polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride, nylon, acetate, etc., and moisture or moisture seeps into the paper member 3 laminated on the outside of the synthetic resin sheet 2. It has the effect of blocking moisture to prevent slight deterioration, and the effect of reinforcing the sheet material of the present invention to form a strong sheet material that will not break or tear.

Further, the paper member 3 laminated on one side of the synthetic resin sheet 2 forms the outer periphery of the transport end, and is selected from a material that is light, strong, has a high shape-retaining effect, and is low in cost. . That is, paper materials such as kraft paper and liner paper, or second
As shown in the embodiment shown in the figure, if the cardboard is formed using a paper member formed into a cardboard shape, such as an upper layer paper 4 made of kraft paper, a corrugated cardboard molded paper 5, and a lower layer paper 6, a stronger reinforcing effect can be obtained and manufacturing is easier. can reduce costs.

Laminating the paper member 1, the synthetic resin sheet 2, and the paper member 3 or upper layer paper 4 can be easily done by thermally welding them together since the second sheet is made of synthetic resin. good.

As described above, by forming a transport box with a three-layer structure, it is possible to obtain a strong sheet material that can withstand animal teeth and claws, and also has a sandwich structure made of paper members and synthetic resin sheets. To provide a transportation box that is resistant to moisture, protects animals from sweat and urine, is lightweight and foldable, and has excellent workability in transportation, storage, and assembly.

The shape for assembly can be arbitrarily designed, but forming it as shown in the embodiments shown in Figures 3 to 5 is convenient in that it is hard to tear, easy to assemble, and uses materials economically. .

Reference numeral 7 denotes an animal transport box made of a cardboard box such as a cardboard box, which can be folded freely from a piece of paper with side walls 9, 10, 11, 12 and top lid surfaces 13, 14 arranged around a bottom 8. It forms a box body. Gluing margins 15 1 , 1 are provided on the side wall surfaces 10 and 12 for connecting with other side wall surfaces 9 and ₁₁ .
Ventilation windows ₁₆ 1 , 1 are provided on the side wall surfaces 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 on which the 5 ₂ , 15 ₃ , 15 ₄ are connected on both sides.
6 ₂ , 16 ₃ , 16 ₄ ... are provided as appropriate. The ventilation windows 16 ₁ , 16 ₂ , 16 ₃ , 16 ₄ . . . are equipped with metal or synthetic resin nets 17 ₁ , 17 ₂ . . . to allow outside air to enter the box. However, when using the net for germ-free animals, it is preferable to attach a filter made of non-woven fabric or the like to the outside of the net to prevent bacteria, dust, etc. from entering. After opening the ceiling panel wall and introducing the animal, the upper lid surface is closed and sealed with adhesive tape, making it extremely easy to handle. The shape of the cardboard box can be any shape, such as a trapezoid as shown in the example, or a rectangle.Although it is not limited to this, if the bottom surface 8 is made of a single piece of board without splicing as in the example. It is easy to assemble without water seeping out from the seams or animals chewing on the edges of the seams and damaging them, and the side wall surfaces 9, 10, 11, 12 and top lid surface 13 are easy to assemble. ,14
If it extends around the bottom surface 8 as shown in the developed view, when cutting the sheet material extending in the vertical direction in FIG. Only the sheet material corresponding to the upper lid surfaces 13 and 14 may be a sheet material without synthetic resin material, which is more reasonable as it can further reduce costs.

(Effect of the invention) According to this technical means, the animal will not be damaged by claws or biting by animals such as rats, and will not be damaged by animal sweat or excrement. Since it does not deteriorate slightly due to moisture and does not leak moisture, it is easy to handle, suitable for transportation, and is highly safe for the welfare of animals.

In other words, the paper members assembled as the inner walls inside the box are made of kraft paper, liner paper, etc.
Absorbs moisture and moisture such as animal sweat, breath, and urine. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the moisture from adhering to the animal's body and contaminating it.

In addition, the sheet made of synthetic resin film has the effect of blocking moisture and reinforcing the sheet material so that water or moisture does not seep into the paper material made of kraft paper, liner paper, etc. laminated on the outside and cause weak deterioration. , forming a strong sheet material without cuts or tears.

In any case, since the transport box is formed with a three-layer structure, a strong sheet material that can withstand animal teeth and claws can be obtained, and the sandwich sandwich between the paper material and the synthetic resin sheet can be used. Due to its structure, it is resistant to moisture, protects animals from sweat and urine, and is lightweight, making it extremely convenient for transportation.
