Description

DESCRIPTION

Animal carrier

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention, as the title of the invention establishes, is a carrier for animals, which allows several carriers to be attached in a modular way and of different sizes. It is an innovation that, within current techniques, provides previously unknown advantages.

The present invention is characterized by the special functional and constructive characteristics of the elements that form part of the device so that all of them contribute to the achievement of a carrier for animals.

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

Therefore, the present invention is limited within the scope of animal containment devices.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Pet owners often have more than one pet that they have to transport in different carriers, this means that, if it is already difficult to carry a single carrier with one hand, transporting several is complicated and uncomfortable.

As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although different designs of carriers are known, the existence of any other that presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those presented by the invention claimed here is unknown.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the invention is a carrier for animals that allows it to be coupled, in a modular way, with other carriers for animals that can be of different sizes. different, specifically, what the invention proposes, as noted above, is a carrier that comprises a plurality of connecting means on both its sides and upper and lower parts, configured to couple with the connecting means of other carriers.

This allows the carriers to be stacked in a single solid assembly, which is more convenient for transport, as well as being able to form structures that facilitate their transport in vehicles such as airplanes, boats or trucks.

Animal carriers can be of various sizes adapted to the size of the animal, and carriers of various sizes can be stacked.

On the other hand, the animal carrier includes adjustable wheels that allow the carriers to be moved more comfortably for users. These wheels are removable and allow the user to mount or dismount them. The wheels also include braking means as well as damping means that prevent vibrations due to the irregularity of the medium on which they slide.

The connecting means, depending on their embodiment, can be made up of a slot through which a guide slides and engages, which through its shape allows the other animal carriers to be attached in a modular manner. These guides are completely separable from the slots, being placed strategically on the guides depending on the animal carriers to be joined.

For greater user comfort, the handle can be extended and oriented depending on the user's needs. For greater comfort, it is possible to attach an auxiliary handle extension.

Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific elements used herein have the meaning normally understood by a person skilled in the art to which this invention belongs. Procedures and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may be used in the practice of the present invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complete the description that is being made and with the aim of helping to better understand the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by some figures in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented:

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures, a preferred, although non-limiting, embodiment of the proposed invention is described below, which consists of a carrier for animals.

As can be seen in the figures, the animal carrier comprises a body (1) configured as a container, where the animal rests, which comprises both on its sides and in the upper and lower parts, a plurality of connecting means (2) configured to be attached to other animal carriers in a modular way.

Depending on the embodiment, the connecting means (2) comprise a slot (3) configured to couple a guide (4) as a connection between the connecting means (2) of the other animal carriers, or simply superimposed on it. animal carrier with anchoring means.

In a complementary manner, the animal carrier comprises removable wheels (5), configured to be placed on and removed from the body (1). The wheels (5) also comprise braking means and damping means.

Likewise, the animal carrier includes a handle (6) configured to orient and extend depending on the user's needs.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field understands its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, Within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from the one indicated as an example, and to which the protection sought will also be achieved as long as its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified. .
