Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is a collar for small pet animals such as puppies and cats.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a so-called belt-type collar for small animals, in which the tip is inserted and fixed into a buckle provided at the base to form a ring of a desired size.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, collars for small animals, especially puppies and cats, have been used primarily for decorative purposes, and collars made from thin cord with a soft and highly decorative texture are also available. It is made of flat braided cord,
When it is desired to increase the thickness to improve decorativeness, flattened braids are overlapped on some parts to join them.

Problems the invention aims to solve The overlapping flat braids are joined by gluing, welding, sewing, etc., which requires time and effort to manufacture.
Furthermore, in addition to the joints on the side surfaces, in the case of overlapping on a part of the surface of the collar body, the cut ends appear on the surface and a clean appearance cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the polymerization of the flat braid hinders the overall soft texture.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 48-74767 discloses a collar using a three-dimensional knitted vinyl string. However, three-dimensional knitted vinyl strings are used as straight pieces that are simply cut from a uniform long length. For this reason, to form the base of a collar with a buckle, a U-shaped head member with a buckle attached is placed over the cut end of a knitted vinyl string and fixed, and then inserted into the buckle. To form the flat tip, two flat belt pieces are placed over each other at the bifurcated ends and fixed.
Therefore, this product has a complicated structure in which three parts of different quality and appearance are connected, and the manufacturing cost is high. Furthermore, there is an extreme step difference between the tip and the middle, resulting in a complicated overall appearance and shape, and poor fitting when installed.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been developed in such a way that the base of a string knitted or assembled into a bag shape is formed flat and folded in two, and a buckle is formed in this two folded part. The tip of the string is formed flat, while a core material having a desired cross-sectional shape is inserted into the middle portion of the string.

Function In the above configuration, the entire body is made up of strings knitted or assembled into a bag shape, and has a flat base folded in two that is convenient for attaching the buckle, and a flat base that is conveniently inserted into the buckle. A core material of a desired shape is inserted into the intermediate portion between the base and the tip, which bulges from the inside, and is folded in half. The thickened base is given a three-dimensional shape that continues to be as thick as the base, and the flat tip continues smoothly due to the natural cross-sectional change due to the resilience of the string itself. , since it can be made three-dimensional with good fit when worn, and remains an integral structure with the string,
It does not make the structure or manufacturing procedure particularly complicated, and it does not impair the soft continuous feel and texture of the seamless knitted or braided structure.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a staple buckle 2 and a string loop 3 are attached to one end of a cord 1 to form a belt-type collar. This string body 1 is made of a synthetic resin braid that is assembled into a cylindrical so-called bag shape, and has a rough textured part 1a in which four aligned threads are braided.
and fine textured portions 1b, which are made by dividing four aligned yarns into halves of two aligned yarns, are formed alternately at two locations around the circumference, such that the fine textured portions 1b, 1b are located on the sides. The direction of use is determined. Both ends are heat welded to prevent fraying. The buckle 2 and the string loop 3 are rotatably held at appropriate positions in the bifold portion 1c of the base of the string 1,
The bifold portion 1c is integrally welded at the portions other than the holding portions of the buckle 2 and the string loop 3.

A core material 4 having a substantially circular cross section is inserted into the intermediate portion between the two-fold portion 1c of the string 1 and the tip portion 1d that is inserted into the buckle 2. The core material 4 is made of a cut piece of synthetic resin rope or other suitable material and has a round string shape, and the string body 1 is inflated from the inside and the middle part between the two-fold part 1c and the tip part 1d of the string body 1 is formed. The cross section is almost circular. String 1
The part where the core material 4 is inserted and the part where the core material 4 is not inserted are continuous in a natural state without extreme changes in shape due to the continuity of the string 1 with appropriate tension.

The fine textured portions 1b are located at both ends of the string 1, and the flat portions through which the core material 4 is not inserted, that is, the two-fold portions 1c and the tip portions 1d, have no slightly dense edges, and the core material 4 is The inserted section, which is approximately circular in cross section, exhibits a continuous wide strap pattern on the edge of the ear. The rough textured part 1a is a wide longitudinal section across the center of the front and back of the string 1, and at the tip part 1d of the string 1, the stopper 2a of the buckle 2 is penetrated at an arbitrary length direction position, and the buckle 2 is attached to the center. In addition to making it possible to fasten the cord, it also gives the rounded string 1 a decorative uneven feel.

Note that the number of aligned threads used to form the string can be changed in various ways, such as the number of aligned threads, strongly twisted threads, weakly twisted threads, untwisted threads, etc. Also, a knitting structure can be adopted. Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the core material can be any desired shape, such as a circular shape or an elliptical shape.

Effects of the invention According to the invention, the entire body is composed of strings knitted or assembled into a bag shape, and the flat base is folded in two and is convenient for attaching a bag;
While having a flat tip that can be smoothly inserted and locked into the buckle, the intermediate portion between the base and the tip bulges from the inside by inserting a core material of a desired shape. , the base, which is thickened by the bifolding, is given a three-dimensional shape that continues to be as thick as the base, and the tip, which remains flat, has a natural cross section due to the resilience of the string itself. Since the change continues smoothly, it can be made three-dimensional with good fit when worn, and it is possible to improve the feeling of wearing and durability, and to achieve higher quality. In addition, since the string remains an integral structure, there is no need to complicate the structure or manufacturing procedure, so it can be manufactured at low cost.It also has a seamless, clean appearance and a soft texture due to the knitted or braided structure. A sense of continuity and texture can be maintained.
