DESCRIPTION

SAFETY DEVICE FOR PET CARRIER

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a device to guarantee the safety of pets when they are transported in vehicles, which has notable technical advantages over other similar solutions.

More specifically, the device consists of a cover or bag, resistant anti-tear fabric/fabric type, attachable to most of the conventional basic carriers that exist on the market, which has a series of grips and fixings to immobilize the set. on the vehicle seats.

These basic carriers, commonly extended, serve so that the pet does not dirty the interior of the vehicle, while allowing them to be transported manually, however, they lack elements and fastening systems, and this, added to the fact that they are made of not very resistant materials, It does not make it safe at all for the transport of animals.

The security device object of the present invention, as a complement to these conventional carriers, proposes a solution when it comes to making them safe, while providing an alternative to the investment and acquisition of a second cumbersome carrier that includes more means integrated security systems when the basic model mentioned is already available.

The industrial application of this invention is within systems, equipment and devices for protection in vehicles, and more specifically, safety devices for pet carriers.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although no invention identical to the one described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related to it.

Thus document EP1589809A2 discloses a collapsible carrier for an animal comprising: a base panel, said base panel having a first end and a second end and containing a bottom surface wherein said bottom surface includes upwardly extending sidewalls ; a first and a second end element hingedly attached to said upwardly extending sidewalls at said first and second ends of said base panel. Said collapsible carrier for pets, as its name suggests, has a configuration to be able to be folded and unfolded, with the corresponding advantages of space and storage; however, the purpose of the requested invention is different, while said carrier lacks security and fastening elements for transport in vehicles, so it does not affect the novelty or the inventive step of the application.

ES1272829U proposes an animal carrier for vehicles, comprising a housing having side walls that is adapted in shape and size to provide an interior space to house an animal, including an access region to allow the entry and exit of the pet from the interior of the housing, the housing including an anchorage system configured to be coupled to an ISOFIX-type fastening element present on a vehicle seat, guiding means present on the outside of the housing configured to guide a conventional seat belt present on the vehicle seat and means of grip. This utility model bears a slight similarity to the device object of the present application in that it solves the problem of the lack or poor safety in the transport of animals in vehicles; however, the carrier that it proposes is configured from the accommodation for the animal itself, while the device object of the present application aims to provide a solution to conventional carriers, which already form a compartment or accommodation, but lack means of fixing to the seat/vehicle.

ES1216129U refers to a retention system for the transport of dogs in vehicles in a safe way, characterized in that it is formed by a deformable structure which is composed of plastic tubes with low resistance to breakage, joined with elbows and "T" of Union. In relation to what has already been mentioned in the previous documents, this utility model does not correspond to a security cover or bag to adapt to traditional carriers, object and solution of the main invention of this application, so it is not affected novelty or inventive step of it.

Conclusions: As can be deduced from the investigation carried out, none of the documents found solves the problems raised as the proposed invention does.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The safety device for pet carrier object of the present invention is constituted from a cover or bag that partially or totally covers the conventional pet carrier, from which four anchor points depart, two to the security systems conventional and standard of the vehicle that start from the lower front part of the device, and two others that start from the upper part, passing over the back of the rear seat to an anchor point in the back of the seats (which can be found in different locations according to vehicle manufacturer).

The anchors of the safety device for pet carriers are adjustable in length by tightening the straps for a better fit of the retention system. In this way, an effective immobilization of the device is ensured, since the anchorages of the conventional and standard vehicle safety systems are currently approved to place child restraint systems.

Regarding the accesses of the cover or bag, understanding the carrier as a more or less parallelepiped shape, it can have all the edges sewn except for three edges of the same face, which can be the upper one, or the one on one side, to be able to open it, insert the carrier, and then close it and secure it with a zipper, buckles, clips, buttons, magnets, or any other means of releasable fastening.

Due to the design of this device, the location of the anchors, the number of anchors, the resistance of the materials used and the easy, fast and effective installation on the conventional carrier, being compatible with practically the entire automobile fleet, a innovation in pet transport safety.

This innovation in restraint devices for the transport of pets in vehicles safely, as it can be placed in the rear seats with the universal fastening form of this system, provides support for the pet against the entire range of accident possibilities (front, rear, overturning, side impacts, etc..) or sudden braking.

The cover or bag of the device object of the present invention is made of textile material that completely surrounds the interior structure and is made of very high-strength anti-tear resistant fabric.
