Band-type wearable device for pet
Disclosed is a band-type wearable device for a pet which includes: a case having a coupling groove formed so as to open to an outside, and a locking groove concavely formed at an upper side of the coupling groove; a strap of which a distal end is connected to the case, and which is made of a flexible material wrapped around a pet's body and worn on the pet; a fixing bracket which is mounted at the distal end of the strap and includes a sliding coupling portion formed to protrude outward from the distal end of the strap so as to be inserted by sliding into the coupling groove and connect the distal end of the strap to the case; and a locking member coupled to the inner side of the distal end of the strap.
1. A band-type wearable device for a pet, the device comprising:
a case having a coupling groove formed so as to be opened to an outside, and a locking groove concavely formed in an upper side of the coupling groove;
a strap of which a distal end is connected to the case, and which is made of a flexible material wrapped around a body of the pet and worn on the pet;
a fixing bracket which is mounted at the distal end of the strap and comprises a sliding coupling portion formed to protrude outward from the distal end of the strap so as to be inserted by sliding into the coupling groove and connect the distal end of the strap to the case; and
a locking member having an inner end, an outer end and a locking protrusion, the inner end being coupled to an inner side of the distal end of the strap such that displacement occurs downward by a force pressing an upper side of the distal end of the strap, the outer end protruding outward from the distal end of the strap together with the sliding coupling portion so as to be inserted while sliding into the coupling groove together with the sliding coupling portion, and the locking protrusion protruding from the locking member at an upper side of the outer end and being caught in the locking groove.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the fixing bracket comprises:
a fixing portion embedded in the distal end of the strap and fixed thereto;
a mounting cutout portion having a form of a a groove concave downward in a middle of the fixing portion and
having the locking member mounted therein.
3. The device of claim 2 , wherein:
the locking member has an approximately ¬-shape,
a vertical portion of the locking member is fixedly coupled to one end of the mounting cutout portion,
the outer end of the locking member fits the sliding coupling portion and is inserted into the coupling groove together with the sliding coupling portion, and
the displacement occurs as the horizontal portion is elastically bent downward by an external force transmitted through the upper side of the distal end of the strap.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the fixing bracket is made of a hard material and is insert-injection molded into and fixed to the strap.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein:
the coupling groove is formed at both ends of the case,
the strap is provided as two straps connected to respective coupling grooves at both ends of the case via the fixing bracket, and
the respective straps are detachably connected to each other by a strap connecting member.
