PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low-cost connector for an animal preventing unintentional disconnection without adding a component or by adding one component easily attached.SOLUTION: The connector for the animal includes: a body 4 including a base portion 2 connected to a base end ring 1 and a hook portion 3 extended from the base portion 2 and a locking pin 8 having a closing habit to close an opening part 6 of the hook portion 3 when the locking pin is urged within the base portion 2 by a spring to project and pressure-welded to the front end of the hook portion 3, and having an operation part 7 retreated against the spring 5 around the base portion 2. The operation part 7 is configured to extend in one way or in both ways in the circumferential direction along the outer periphery of the base portion 2 from a rising part 8a which rises around the outer periphery of the base portion 2 from the outer periphery of the locking pint 8 through a slide groove 11 disposed on the opening part 6 side of the hook portion 3 on the peripheral wall of the base portion 2.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】部品の追加無しに、あるいは簡単に装着できる1つの部品の追加を伴って連結が不用意に外れるのを防止できる低コストなものとする。【解決手段】基端環1に連結された基部2、基部2から延びたフック部3を備えた本体4と、基部2内でばね付勢されて突出しフック部3の先端に圧接してフック部3の開放部6を閉じる閉じ習性を持ち、ばね5に抗し基部2まわりにて後退操作する操作部7を有している係止ピン8と、を備え、操作部7は、基部2周壁のフック部3の開放部6側に設けられたスライド溝11を通じ係止ピン8外周から基部2外まわりに立ち上がった立ち上がり部8aから基部2外周に沿って周方向の一方または両方に延びるように形成したことにより、上記の課題を解決する。【選択図】図1
