Description

Translated fromJapanese

この発明は、犬の糞尿受け具に関する。 The present invention relates to a dog manure receiver.

老犬もだんだんと自立困難になってくると介護人の支えや運搬を必要とする場面が増えてくる。特に排尿時には、よろけて倒れたり、排泄物を踏んだり、また体勢の変化によっては尿が老犬自身の体にかかることもある。排尿場所を設け老犬を運搬したとしても、排尿場所や老犬自身の体を汚すと後始末が必要になり、介護人の余計な仕事が増え、老犬にとってもストレスとなる。従って、排尿時には、介護人は老犬がよろけてもすぐに支えられるように出来るだけ両手を空けておく必要がある。また老犬自身の体に尿がかからないようにするには出来るだけ尿出口近くで尿を受ければ良いが、使用後の尿受け具をすぐに片づけられずに老犬を支えたり運搬したりする必要があるので、使用後の尿受け具をしばらくの間置きっぱなしにしなければならないことも多い。 As old dogs become more and more difficult to become independent, there are more and more situations where they need the support and transportation of a caregiver. Especially when urinating, urine may stagger and fall, step on excrement, and depending on the change in posture, urine may hit the body of the old dog itself. Even if an old dog is transported by providing a urination place, if the urination place or the old dog's own body is soiled, it will be necessary to clean up the dog, which will increase the extra work of the caregiver and cause stress for the old dog. Therefore, when urinating, the caregiver needs to keep both hands free as much as possible so that the old dog can be supported immediately even if it staggers. Also, in order to prevent the old dog's body from getting urine, it is better to receive urine as close to the urine outlet as possible. It is often necessary to leave the urine receiver after use for some time because of the need.

以上のことから、老犬介護用の尿受け具に要求されることは、老犬を両手で支えながら尿出口近くで使用できること、家の中での使用を考慮して受け損ねる等の失敗が少ないこと、使用後に手から放して置いてもこぼれ難いこと、間違って踏んでもこぼれ難いこと。また、尿を受ける部分が使用時には外れ難いが取り付け取り外ししやすいこと。そして、何度も使う柄付枠に尿が掛かり難く、柄付枠を洗う仕事をできるだけ減らせることと考えた。 From the above, what is required of a urine receiver for long-term care for old dogs is that the old dog can be used near the urine outlet while being supported by both hands, and there are failures such as failure to receive it in consideration of use at home. There are few things, it is hard to spill even if you let it go after use, and it is hard to spill even if you step on it by mistake. Also, the part that receives urine is hard to come off during use, but it is easy to attach and remove. Then, I thought that it would be difficult for urine to get on the patterned frame that would be used many times, and that the work of washing the patterned frame could be reduced as much as possible.

従来の犬の糞尿受け具は主に散歩中に使用することを前提としていて、犬が自立していることや外で使用しやすいように考案されている物が多い。また、散歩中の糞処理はほぼ必須となっているが尿処理はまだ必須とは言い難い。このため、固形物である糞を処理しやすいことが主で、液体の尿について考慮されているものはあまりなかった。例えば、持ち手を付けた工夫した枠にプラスチック袋を取り付けた物や、スプーン状の平面受け皿に吸水シートを取り付けた物が有った。 Conventional dog manure receivers are mainly intended to be used during a walk, and many of them are designed so that the dog is independent and easy to use outside. In addition, although fecal treatment during a walk is almost essential, it is hard to say that urine treatment is still essential. For this reason, it was mainly easy to process solid feces, and few considered liquid urine. For example, there was a product in which a plastic bag was attached to a devised frame with a handle, and a product in which a water absorbing sheet was attached to a spoon-shaped flat saucer.

しかしながら、以上の技術によれば、プラスチック袋では尿を受けた後で手から放して置いた時や踏んでしまった時にはこぼれやすい。また、吸水シート式は飛沫が周囲に飛び散りやすいと思われるが、尿を受け損ねてもすぐに拭き取れるように考案されているので家の中での使用には向かない。 However, according to the above technique, a plastic bag is liable to spill when it is left out of the hand or stepped on after receiving urine. In addition, the water absorption sheet type is thought to be easy for droplets to scatter around, but it is not suitable for use in the house because it is devised so that it can be wiped off immediately even if it misses urine.

そこで、この発明の課題は、老犬を両手で支えながら使用できること、飛沫も含め受け損ね難いこと、使用後に手から放して置いてもこぼれ難いこと、置きっぱなしにしている尿受け具を犬や人が踏んでもこぼれ難いこと、尿を受ける部分が使用時には外れ難いが取り付け取り外ししやすいこと、何度も使う柄付枠に直接尿が掛かり難いこと、以上の条件を満たす尿受け具を提供することである。 Therefore, the problems of the present invention are that the old dog can be used while being supported by both hands, that it is difficult to receive it including droplets, that it is difficult to spill even if it is released from the hand after use, and that the urine receiver that is left in place is a dog. We provide urine receivers that meet the above conditions: they are hard to spill even if they are stepped on by people, the part that receives urine is hard to come off when used, but they are easy to attach and remove, and it is hard to get urine directly on the patterned frame that is used many times. It is to be.

以上の課題を解決するために、一枚の吸水シートを短い柄を含む柄付枠全体を覆いかつ袋状にする折り方で折った袋状吸水シートを、枠にぶら下げるように組み合わせ、短い柄も覆うようにしたことを特徴とする尿受け具を発明した。 In order to solve the above problems, one water-absorbing sheet is combined so as to hang from the frame by folding the bag-shaped water-absorbing sheet that covers the entire patterned frame including the short handle and makes it into a bag-like shape. He invented a urine receiver, which is characterized by covering the water.

本発明によれば、吸水シートはプラスチック袋と比べて変形しにくいので、枠に何らかの方法で固定しなくても一枚の吸水シートを折り返して枠にぶら下げるように組み合わせるだけで、尿の重さ程度が加わってもずり落ちることはなく、取り付け取り外しが簡単である。また、手に収まる程度の短い柄を用いれば老犬を支えながら排尿を受けるのに持ちやすく、多少尿が外れても、柄付枠全体を覆っている吸水シートが尿を受けるので柄付枠に直接尿がかからない。また、袋状なので尿出口にできるだけ近づければ尿を受け損ね難く、飛沫も飛び散り難くい。また、吸水シートが吸水すれば使用後に手から放して置いてもこぼれ難く、踏んでもこぼれ難い。According to the present invention , the water-absorbing sheet is less likely to be deformed than the plastic bag, so the weight of urine can be reduced by simply folding one water-absorbing sheet and hanging it from the frame without fixing it to the frame in some way. It does not slip off even if the degree is added, and it is easy to install and remove. Also, if you use a handle that is short enough to fit in your hand, it is easy to hold it to receive urine while supporting the old dog, and even if the urine comes off a little, the water absorption sheet that covers the entire handle frame receives urine, so the handle frame I don't get urine directly on my dog. In addition, since it is bag-shaped, it is difficult for urine to be missed and droplets to be scattered if it is made as close as possible to the urine outlet. In addition, if the water-absorbing sheet absorbs water, it will not easily spill even if it is released from the hand after use, and it will not easily spill even if it is stepped on.

この発明の一実施形態を図１に示す。
本実施例では市販の吸水シートを用いた。サイズの一例は約３３ｃｍ×４５ｃｍである。一枚の吸水シート１１を図３から図６までで示す方法で袋状に折り、袋状に折った吸水シート１１の大きさに合うように短い柄の付いた柄付枠１０を針金のような金属で作成し、袋状に折った吸水シート１１が柄付枠１０全体を覆うように組み合わせる。柄付枠１０サイズの一例は素材直径約３ｍｍ、柄付枠１０全体の長さが約２５ｃｍ、柄の長さが約１０ｃｍ、枠の一番太い部分の幅が約１０ｃｍである。また、本尿受け具使用時に吸水シート１１が犬の脚等に触れた場合のずれ上がりを防止することと吸水シート１１の取り外しやすさとを考慮して、柄付枠１０の枠全部ではなく一部に滑り止めシートや滑り止め塗料などを用いて滑り止め１２を施した。滑り止め１２の長さの一例は約５ｃｍである。これを図２に示すように吸水シート１１の上から柄を握り使用すると、ほぼずれ上がらなくなる。散歩のように長時間持ち歩くとずれ上がってくるかもしれないが、老犬介護時は長くてもほんの数分しか持ち歩かないので実用上十分であり、取り外しやすさは忙しい老犬介護において重要である。An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.
In this example, a commercially available water absorbing sheet was used. An example of the size is about 33 cm x 45 cm. A single water absorbing sheet 11 is folded into a bag shape by the method shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, and a patternedframe 10 with a short handle is formed like a wire so as to fit the size of the water absorbing sheet 11 folded into a bag shape. The water-absorbing sheet 11 made of metal and folded into a bag shape is combined so as to cover the entire patternedframe 10. An example of the patternedframe 10 size is a material diameter of about 3 mm, the overall length of the patternedframe 10 is about 25 cm, the length of the handle is about 10 cm, and the width of the thickest part of the frame is about 10 cm. Further, in consideration of preventing the water absorbing sheet 11 from slipping up when it touches the dog's leg or the like when using this urine receiving device and the ease of removing the water absorbing sheet 11, not all the frames of the patternedframe 10 but one. The non-slip sheet 12 was applied to the portion by using a non-slip sheet or a non-slip paint. An example of the length of the non-slip 12 is about 5 cm. When this is used by grasping the handle from above the water absorption sheet 11 as shown in FIG. 2, it hardly shifts up. If you carry it around for a long time like a walk, it may shift up, but when caring for an old dog, it is practically sufficient because you only carry it for a few minutes at the longest, and ease of removal is important for busy old dog care. ..

次に吸水シート１１の折り方を図３から図６までに示す。
図３に示すように吸水シート１１を、折り順１、折り順２、折り順３の順に折ると図４のようになる。後工程作業のしやすさや使いやすさのため、図４で示すように形状を維持できるように接着テープ３１の位置を接着剤や接着テープ等を用いて固着させる。本実施例では固着にはすべて接着テープを使った。折り順４で吸水シート１１を折り開くと、柄付枠１０全体を覆う部分になり図５のようになる。接着テープ３２の位置は吸水シート１１が３枚重なっているので使いにくいようなら図５に示すように３枚がばらばらにならないように接着テープ３２で固着させる。図６は折った袋状吸水シート１１の内側を示したものであるが、接着テープ３３の位置は吸水シート１１の端が重なっている部分であり尿が直接かかると外にこぼれてしまうので接着テープ３３で固着させるが、この端が重なっている部分に尿がかからないのであればそのままでも良い。Next, how to fold the water absorption sheet 11 is shown in FIGS. 3 to 6.
As shown in FIG. 3, when the water absorbing sheet 11 is folded in the order offolding order 1,folding order 2, andfolding order 3, the result is as shown in FIG. For ease of post-process work and ease of use, the position of the adhesive tape 31 is fixed with an adhesive, an adhesive tape, or the like so that the shape can be maintained as shown in FIG. In this example, adhesive tape was used for all fixing. When the water absorbing sheet 11 is folded open in thefolding order 4, it becomes a portion that covers the entire patternedframe 10 and is as shown in FIG. At the position of theadhesive tape 32, three water absorbing sheets 11 are overlapped, so if it is difficult to use, fix the three sheets with theadhesive tape 32 so as not to be separated as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows the inside of the folded bag-shaped water-absorbing sheet 11, but the position of the adhesive tape 33is the portion where the ends of the water-absorbing sheet 11 overlap, and if urine is directly applied, the adhesive spills out. It is fixed with the tape 33, but it may be left asit is as long as the portion where the ends overlap is not covered with urine.

吸水シート１１の折り寸法が確定した後、量産用に図７に示す型紙２０を作成する。そして、吸水シート１１を折り開く際の目安が必要なら折り返し目安線２１を引く。型紙２０のサイズは図１０に示すように包み込むように折った時に完成するサイズである。型紙２０の素材は梱包用段ボール箱を切って利用したが、厚さ数ミリメートル程度の板状で、包むように折った後で容易に抜き出せる程度の表面の滑らかさがあれば、紙、金属あるは樹脂でも良い。型紙２０を用いて吸水シート１１を折る際には、図８に示すように吸水シート１１の上に型紙２０を乗せてから図３から図６までに示した手順通りに型紙２０を包むように折り進める。この手順概略を図９、図１０に示す。
「実施形態の効果」After the folding dimensions of the water absorbing sheet 11 are determined, thepaper pattern 20 shown in FIG. 7 is prepared for mass production. Then, if a guideline for folding the water absorption sheet 11 is required, afolding guideline 21 is drawn. The size of thepaper pattern 20 is a size that is completed when folded so as to wrap as shown in FIG. The material of thepaper pattern 20 was used by cutting a cardboard box for packing, but if it is a plate with a thickness of about several millimeters and the surface is smooth enough to be easily pulled out after folding it to wrap it, there are paper and metal. May be resin. When folding the water-absorbing sheet 11 using thepaper pattern 20, thepaper pattern 20 is placed on the water-absorbing sheet 11 as shown in FIG. 8, and then folded so as to wrap thepaper pattern 20 according to the procedure shown in FIGS. 3 to 6. Proceed. The outline of this procedure is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.
"Effect of embodiment"

図１１は本尿受け具を用いた実際の排尿介護作業の例である。片手は首付近を支え、もう片方の手で本尿受け具を持ちながら老犬の胸あたりを支えることができる。使用後の吸水シート１１が吸水すれば、手から放して脇に置き両手で老犬を支え直しても尿がこぼれ難く、踏んでも破れてもこぼれ難い。また、使用後の吸水シート１１の取り外しは、片手で老犬を支えながらもう片方の手だけでできるので、その場で吸水シート１１をゴミとして捨てることや老犬を運搬しながら柄付枠１０だけを定位置に持ち帰ることも可能である。老犬の状態によっては、排尿直後の老犬から手が離せないうちに次の排尿が訪れることもあるので、排尿後速やかに柄付枠１０と吸水シート１１を組み合わせて次に使う尿受け具の準備ができることは重要である。柄付枠１０と吸水シート１１を組み合わせるのに両手が必要だが時間はかからないので、特に手がかかる老犬でもほんの少しの間手を放している間に準備できる。また、排尿場所が設けてあり、一度使用した吸水シート１１を何度か使う場合には、置きっぱなしにしておいても尿がこぼれることはないので、定位置に置いておくこともできる。FIG. 11 is an example of an actual urination care work using this urine receiver. One hand can support the area around the neck, and the other hand can support the chest of the old dog while holding the urine receiver. If the water-absorbing sheet 11 after use absorbs water, urine does not easily spill even if it is released from the hand and set aside and the old dog is supported again with both hands, and it is difficult to spill even if it is stepped on or torn. Further, since the water absorption sheet 11 can be removed after use by supporting the old dog with one hand and using only the other hand, the water absorption sheet 11 can be thrown away as garbage on the spot or the patternedframe 10 can be carried while carrying the old dog. It is also possible to bring only the dog back into place. Depending on the condition of the old dog, the next urination may come before you can take your hands off the old dog immediately after urination. It is important to be ready for. It takes both hands to combine thehandle frame 10 and the water absorption sheet 11, but it does not take much time, so even an old dog, which is particularly troublesome, can be prepared while letting go for a short time. In addition, a urination place is provided, and when the water absorption sheet 11 that has been used once is used several times, urine does not spill even if it is left in place, so that it can be placed in a fixed position.

排尿時の老犬と介護人との位置関係や、老犬の排尿状態と本尿受け具の位置関係等によっては、図６に示した吸水シート１１の端が重なっている部分である接着テープ３３の位置に直接尿が掛かることがあるが、その時にこぼれないように接着テープ３３で固着させているので尿がこぼれることは無い。しかし、端が重なっている部分である接着テープ３３の位置に直接尿がかからないようにするには、図１２に示すように型紙２０を左右反転させ、吸水シート１１の左右反対側に揃えてから折ると、図１３に示すように、図６と比べて、端が重なっている部分である接着テープ３３の位置が柄から見て左右逆になるので、吸水シート１１の端が重なっている部分である接着テープ３３の位置に尿が直接かからないようにできる。Depending on the positional relationship between the old dog and the caregiver when urinating, the urinary state of the old dog and the positional relationship of the main urine receiver, etc., the adhesive tapeis the portion where the ends of the water absorbing sheet 11 shown in FIG. 6 overlap. Urine may spill directly on the position of 33, but urine does not spill because it is fixed with adhesive tape 33 so that it does not spill at that time. However,in order to prevent urine from directly splashing on the position of the adhesive tape 33, which is a portion where the ends overlap, thepaper pattern 20 is turned upside down as shown in FIG. 12 and aligned on the left and right opposite sides of the water absorbing sheet 11. When folded, as shown in FIG. 13,the position of the adhesive tape 33, which is the portion where the ends overlap, is reversed from the left and right when viewed from the handle, so that theend of the water absorption sheet 11 overlaps. It is possible to prevent urine from directly splashing on the position of the adhesive tape 33.
