Description

Container for the transport of animals.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a container for the transport of animals that is of the type that are manufactured to from a die-cut sheet body with perforations and lines of fold that separate the different parts of the container.

Starting from this premise, the packaging of the invention comprises a characteristic wedge-shaped structure whose interior space communicates with the outside through some perforations and a rear ventilation window.

Thus, the object of the invention is a simple very economical container structure whose interior space It is adapted to a type of animal according to its size, the container incorporating gripping means to facilitate the transport.

Background of the invention

At present, there are different packages and containers for transporting animals, such as cages and similar, in whose interior space the animals lodge for their transport, so a problem with these packages is that Cage bars can cause accidents to animals if they put their heads between two consecutive bars.

In other cases, the containers are containers fully enclosed with some small ventilation holes that are not enough for the animal to breathe comfortably.

Another drawback is that these packages Conventional animals for transport are relatively expensive

Description of the invention

In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections, the invention proposes a container for the transport of animals that obtained from a die-cut laminar body with lines of fold and different cuts that once armed configures a body hole.

It is characterized because the hollow body comprises a wedge-shaped structure and is delimited by two walls larger rectangular sides and two side walls trapecially parallel minors, joining in correspondence with the free edges of the side walls, major and minor, an anchoring means to strengthen the armed of the container, this defining a narrow rear window towards the which converge the corresponding edges with the fold lines that separate the cited side walls and an anterior window of larger dimension faced with the rear window, being located in correspondence with the previous window a faceplate by way of swing door that starts from one edge of one of the walls major sides, including such front plate hitch means that ensure the closure, also incorporating gripping means for transport.

The corresponding borders with that window front of the other three side walls include fins against which the faceplate is attached as a door.

Another feature of the invention is that anchoring means for assembling the package comprise a flap length that starts from the major longitudinal edge of the respective major side wall and flaps that start from the major side wall in correspondence with its free major edge, fitting said flaps into established side cuts in the junction area between the major side wall and the flap longitudinal.

Another feature of the invention is that front plate engaging means comprise a tongue previous in the form of "U" arranged in correspondence with one of the free edges of the front plate and a rear tab complementary arranged in correspondence with a die cut that affects a major side wall and respective fin, adjusting a portion of the posterior tongue in a centered cut that delimits part of the anterior tongue in the form of "U".

Another feature of the invention is that gripping means comprise gripping holes located in a of the two major side walls.

Another possibility for the grasp is the incorporation of a folding handle whose ends connect articulately in facing appendages that start from one of the major side walls of the container.

Finally, another feature of the invention is that the front plate incorporates perforations of aeration.

Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of it are accompanied by some figures in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the container of the invention is manufactured from a body die cut sheet that defines two side walls in principle larger 1 rectangular and two smaller side walls 2 of trapecial form, so that when assembling the container a wedge-shaped hollow body, whose assembly is secured by a narrow longitudinal flap 3 that starts from the major side free of one of the major side walls 1 and flaps 4 that they start from one of the minor side walls 2 in correspondence with the free major side, so that such flaps 4 fit into side cuts 5 set in the area of junction between the major side wall 1 referred to and the flap longitudinal 3 that is attached against the inner face of the wall minor side 2 incorporating the flaps 4.

The assembly of the container generates a narrow window posterior 6 where the longitudinal edges 8 of the container converge, and a previous window 7 of larger size located in correspondence with the divergence ends of such longitudinal edges 8.

By said previous window 7 are entered and they extract the animals, arranging in correspondence with her a front plate 9 as a door that starts from the leading edge of one of the major side walls 1, while the edges front of the other three side walls couples tear off some fins 10 that bend at right angles into the container and on which the front plate 9 is attached affects a aeration perforations 11.

In a first embodiment, one of the walls larger sides 1 incorporates gripping holes 12 as a means of manual transport to introduce by them the fingers of the hand of the user.

Instead, in a second embodiment, a wall lateral major 1 incorporates a folding handle 13 coupled articulated by its ends in facing appendages 14 that start from such a major lateral face 1.

On the other hand, the closing of the previous window 7 which is carried out by means of the front plate 9, its closure is ensured by means of an anterior tongue 15 in the form of "U", arranged in correspondence with one of the free edges of such a faceplate 9 and a rear tongue 16 complementary to the previous 15, placing the rear tongue 16 in correspondence with a die cut 17 that affects the area of attachment of one of the fins 10 with the upper side wall 1 arranged superiorly incorporating the gripping means, so that a part of the tongue posterior 16 is introduced in a centered cut 18 that delimits part from the front tongue 15.

In turn, said centered cut 18 generates a sector 19 that strengthens the closure, sector 19 that is part of the front plate 9.
