OBJETO OBJECT
[0001] La presente invención se refiere a un componente de material plástico colocado en las correas de animales domésticos (perros, gatos, mascotas en general) que sirve de amortiguador para reducir el impacto de posibles tirones del animal cuando es paseado. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN [0001] The present invention relates to a component of plastic material placed in the belts of domestic animals (dogs, cats, pets in general) that serves as a buffer to reduce the impact of possible pulls of the animal when it is walked. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Existen en la técnica numerosos modelos de correas para animales domésticos, [0002] Numerous models of belts for domestic animals exist in the art,
habitualmente rígidas, que en su manejo transmiten tirones al brazo del paseante del animal con riesgo de lesión para aquél. Existen también algunas de ellas fabricadas en gomas con cierto grado de elasticidad, que son difíciles de manejar porque pueden alcanzar longitudes estiradas que suponen fuerzas de estiramiento no aconsejables, por lo que son poco usadas. usually rigid, which in their handling transmit jerks to the arm of the passerby of the animal at risk of injury to him. There are also some of them made of rubber with a certain degree of elasticity, which are difficult to handle because they can reach stretched lengths that involve undesirable stretching forces, which is why they are rarely used.
[0003] Los problemas encontrados en la técnica anterior pueden solucionarse proporcionando una única pieza de material plástico fijada a la correa mediante moldeo por inyección, gracias a la cual se disminuye significativamente la fuerza que sufre el paseador en el brazo y cuerpo, disminuyendo el riesgo por lesión de brazo u hombro. [0003] The problems encountered in the prior art can be solved by providing a single piece of plastic material fixed to the belt by injection molding, thanks to which the force suffered by the striker on the arm and body is significantly reduced, reducing the risk due to arm or shoulder injury.
[0004] Un componente plástico para correas de animales domésticos que tenga las características indicadas se reivindica en la reivindicación 1 y reivindicaciones dependientes. [0004] A plastic component for belts of domestic animals having the indicated characteristics is claimed in claim 1 and dependent claims.
RESUMEN DE LA INVENCIÓN SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] La invención comprende un componente o pieza elástica de material plástico, que lleva embebida una cuerda o cinta de tracción destinada a ejercer una fuerza de tracción para controlar al animal; los extremos de la cuerda o cinta están adaptados para unirse de forma fija y convencional a unos extremos correspondientes de la correa del animal, bien en una zona intermedia de la longitud de la misma en la que se ha practicado un corte para proveer dos extremos para unión a los extremos de la cuerda o cinta salientes del componente elástico, o bien en un extremo para unión a la correa y al gancho del collar del animal. [0005] The invention comprises a component or elastic piece of plastic material, which is embedded in a rope or pulling tape designed to exert a pulling force to control the animal; the ends of the rope or tape are adapted to be fixedly and conventionally joined to corresponding ends of the animal's belt, or in an intermediate zone of the length of the same in which a cut has been made to provide two ends for attachment to the ends of the rope or tape projecting from the elastic component, or at one end for attachment to the strap and to the hook of the animal's collar.
[0006] El componente elástico de material plástico se configura con una sección longitudinal ondulada o en zigzag, dentro de la cual está incluida la cuerda o cinta de tracción; el material tiene memoria de forma, de manera que un estirón longitudinal alarga el componente de material plástico y permite que la cuerda o cinta de tracción embebida siga la forma del mismo en su movimiento elástico, manteniendo al estar embebida su función de tracción; posteriormente, el componente de la invención vuelve a encogerse y a recuperar su longitud y forma iniciales, con lo que se ha conseguido amortiguar el estirón del animal. La capacidad de absorción del impacto del componente elástico depende tanto de la rigidez del plástico (su componente elástico) así como de la longitud y número de ondulaciones (zigzags). Además, para aligerar el peso del componente elástico, se le provee con agujeros para usar menos material sin afectar su capacidad de amortiguación. [0007] La inclusión de la cuerda o cinta de tracción dentro del material plástico se realiza mediante moldeo por inyección y fundido del material plástico alrededor de la cuerda o cinta de tracción. La cinta de tracción será preferentemente de nylon o material similar. [0006] The elastic component made of plastic material is configured with a corrugated or zigzag longitudinal section, inside which the rope or traction belt is included; the material has a shape memory, so that a longitudinal lug lengthens the plastic material component and allows the embedded rope or traction belt to follow its shape in its elastic movement, maintaining its traction function being imbedded; subsequently, the component of the invention shrinks again and recover its initial length and shape, which has been able to cushion the growth of the animal. The impact absorption capacity of the elastic component it depends as much on the rigidity of the plastic (its elastic component) as on the length and number of undulations (zigzags). In addition, to lighten the weight of the elastic component, it is provided with holes to use less material without affecting its cushioning capacity. [0007] The inclusion of the rope or traction belt within the plastic material is done by injection molding and melting the plastic material around the rope or pulling tape. The pulling tape will preferably be nylon or similar material.
[0008] Obviamente, es también factible realizar el componente de la invención sobre la propia correa del animal (preferentemente de nylon o similar), sin necesidad de cortes ni añadidos; en este caso, se realiza mediante moldeo por inyección y fundido del material plástico, al que se le da la adecuada configuración en zigzag, alrededor de un segmento longitudinal de la propia correa. [0008] Obviously, it is also feasible to realize the component of the invention on the animal's own belt (preferably of nylon or similar), without the need for cuts or additions; in this case, it is done by injection molding and melting the plastic material, which is given the appropriate zigzag configuration, around a longitudinal segment of the belt itself.
[0009] En consecuencia, el objeto de la invención es un componente de material plástico insertado longitudinalmente en la correa de un animal doméstico, en particular un perro o una mascota de tamaño grande, que sirve de amortiguador para reducir impactos por estirones de la correa, y que tiene las siguientes características mínimas: [0009] Accordingly, the object of the invention is a component of plastic material longitudinally inserted into the strap of a pet, in particular a dog or a large-sized pet, which acts as a shock absorber to reduce impacts due to belt lugs. , and that has the following minimum characteristics:
un componente plástico tal, que puede acoplarse a cualquier correa de mascota; such a plastic component, which can be attached to any pet leash;
un componente plástico que puede acoplarse, como un añadido longitudinal, a cualquier correa; a plastic component that can be attached, as a longitudinal addition, to any belt;
un componente plástico que se coloca mediante inyección directamente en la correa (de nylon u otro material similar), fijándose a ella mediante fundición; a plastic component that is placed by injection directly on the belt (nylon or other similar material), fixed to it by casting;
un componente cuya colocación puede ser tanto en la parte cercana al gancho como la parte cercana al asidero de la correa, de forma indiferente; a component whose placement can be either in the part near the hook or the part near the handle of the belt, indifferently;
- un componente tal, cuyo zigzag tiene agujeros para utilizar menos material sin afectar su capacidad de amortiguación; - such a component, whose zigzag has holes to use less material without affecting its cushioning capacity;
un componente cuyo diseño es el equilibrio ideal entre peso, capacidad de absorción de fuerza, y estética; a component whose design is the ideal balance between weight, capacity of absorption of force, and aesthetics;
un componente amortiguador cuya colocación por inyección evita que se mueva, "despegue" o deje de funcionar por fuerzas de cualquier tipo. a shock absorber component whose placement by injection prevents it from moving, "take off" or stop working by forces of any kind.
componente que, por sus características de acoplamiento a los otros componentes de la correa, convierte al conjunto en una sola pieza. component that, by its characteristics of coupling to the other components of the belt, converts the whole into a single piece.
[0010] La principal ventaja del componente de la invención es que, sin el componente amortiguador, las correas no tienen ningún tipo de amortiguación. Esto implica que el brazo del paseador sufre el tirón del perro y su fuerza al 100%. Gracias al componente de la invención, se disminuye [0010] The main advantage of the component of the invention is that, without the damping component, the belts do not have any kind of damping. This implies that the arm of the walker suffers the pull of the dog and its strength at 100%. Thanks to the component of the invention, it is decreased
significativamente la fuerza que sufre el paseador en el brazo y cuerpo, disminuyendo así el riesgo por lesión de brazo u hombro. [0010] Otra ventaja, no menos importante, es el diseño del componente elástico con un equilibrio ideal entre peso, capacidad de absorción de fuerza, y estética. Al ser una única pieza de plástico aplicada por inyección, su coste es muy reducido por el tipo de material y la mano de obra necesaria, ideal para accesorios de perros. significantly the strength suffered by the walker in the arm and body, thus decreasing the risk of arm or shoulder injury. [0010] Another advantage, not less important, is the design of the elastic component with an ideal balance between weight, capacity of absorption of force, and aesthetics. Being a single piece of plastic applied by injection, its cost is very reduced by the type of material and the necessary labor, ideal for dog accessories.
[0011] Además, la aplicación por inyección hace que sea 100% eficaz, evitando que el amortiguador se mueva, se "despegue" o deje de funcionar por fuerzas de cualquier tipo. La correa de nylon se vuelve una única pieza con amortiguador. [0011] In addition, the application by injection makes it 100% effective, preventing the shock absorber from moving, "detaching" or ceasing to function by forces of any kind. The nylon strap becomes a single piece with shock absorber.
