Preferred embodiments of the foot washing machine for small animals according to the present invention as set forth in claims 1 to 4 will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the foot washing machine 1 for a small animal places a front cover 4 and a rear cover 5 with holes 6 that can be removed on the opening upper surfaces of a front washing container 2 and a rear washing container 3 on top of each other. Each cleaning container is held and formed by positioning pins 8 on a gantry 10 attached to the container 7. The pre-cleaning container 2 and the post-cleaning container 3 and the front cover 4 and the rear cover 5 have the same shape. As shown in FIG. 3, the container has a recess 11 so that the cleaning liquid collected in the recess 11 can be drained. In addition, a drain hole 12 is open. If the drain hole 12 is covered with a lid (not shown) such as a rubber stopper, the cleaning liquid can be stored in the recess 11 and can be cleaned there. The drain hole 12 and a lid such as a rubber plug may be screwed to open and close. Further, instead of the drain holes 11, the side surfaces of the respective cleaning containers can be opened and closed (not shown), and the cleaning liquid may be allowed to flow to the drain receiving container 7 after being opened. As shown in FIG. 3, positioning holes 9 are opened at the lower ends of both ends of each cleaning container, and each cleaning container and drainage receiving container are inserted into the positioning pins 8 of the gantry 10 attached to the drainage receiving container 7 shown in FIG. 7 can be connected and fixed. In addition, instead of the positioning pins 8 and the positioning holes 9, appropriate fixing / holding means such as providing a recess (or a protrusion) on the gantry side and providing a protrusion (or a recess) on each cleaning container side and fixing by a fitting type, etc. You may connect by. FIG. 2 shows the rear cover 5, and the front and rear covers have small holes 6 that do not catch the toenails of small animals, and each cover is similarly fixed when placed on each fixed washing container. Is done. The shape of the hole may be polygonal or any shape. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the drainage receiving container 7 of FIG. 4, each cleaning container and each cover are combined. The front paw of a small animal such as a dog that has returned from a walk or the like is placed on the front cover 4 and the rear paw is covered with the rear cover 5. Put it on top.
