The front link member 33 is rotatably connected to the front leg 21 via a triangular sheet metal 111. The left and right front link members 33 and the front connecting member 110 can be manufactured, for example, by bending a single pipe member.

  According to this embodiment, since the front ends of the left and right front link members 33 are connected by the front connection member 110, the front connection member 110 is used as a structural member for securing the design strength of the cart body 101. can do.

  FIG. 5A shows a state where a dome-shaped hood 120 is attached to the pet carry 70 in the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above. The dome-shaped hood 120 includes a plurality of arc-shaped bone members 121 and a cloth member 122 stretched between the bone members 121.

  The cloth member 122 becomes three-dimensional by sewing two planes together, can be arranged in various ways without a fastener, and can be fixed in each open state. That is, an opening (window) can be formed in the left and right portions by folding the left and right portions of the fabric over the central portion of the fabric.

  As shown in FIG. 5B to FIG. 5E, the hood 120 can be opened in stages, creating a large window, a small window, a window on both sides, or one side as required. You can make windows.

  For pets such as dogs, heat stroke countermeasures are important in closed spaces (carry etc.), so it is possible to prevent heat stroke by opening the hood window wide.

  In addition to the cloth member 122, a mesh (mesh) cloth is stretched on the lower surface side of the cloth member 122 and the upper part of the pet carry 70 is covered with the mesh cloth even when the hood window is opened.
