BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire rod cage which can be easily assembled and disassembled in a wire rod assembled basket used as a pet cage, a cargo transportation cage, or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wire cages of this type include folding type, assembling / disassembling type, etc., and various applications have been filed for their connecting structures and assembling / disassembling methods.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, although it is convenient for the folding type to be assembled once, the joint member has a complicated shape and the member itself is small, so However, there is a drawback that it takes time and effort for the assembly work by the user or the assembly work by the user. In addition, the assembly and disassembly type requires a tool for assembling, and even an inexperienced person may make a mistake in the assembly method. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a wire rod basket having a small number of parts and a simple structure that can be easily assembled and disassembled even by an end user.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems A plurality of vertical wire members and horizontal wire members are orthogonally attached and fixed to each other to form a particle body. The left and right ends of each of the horizontal wire rods of the front lattice body, the rear lattice body, and the left and right side lattice bodies are bent into a substantially circular ring whose central axes are on the same straight line. At the corners, the adjacent lattice bodies are arranged so that the central axes of the rings of the adjacent lattice bodies are aligned with each other, and an axial rod whose tip is bent into a substantially R shape is inserted through the ring row. Are connected. Next, the ceiling surface lattice is formed by bending the left and right ends of the horizontal wire into a V shape to form a hook portion, and the hook portion is engaged with the upper edges of the left and right side surface lattice bodies to form a ceiling surface. Finally, in the bottom grid, the left and right ends of the horizontal wire are folded upward and the tips are bent into an inverted U shape to form hook-shaped engaging parts. Hook on the horizontal wire at the lower part of the lattice to connect it to form the bottom. Note that the front lattice is provided with a lid that allows items and small animals to be put in and taken out.

[0005]

[Operation] Since the rings provided on the adjacent grids are arranged on the same center line and the grids are connected to each other by inserting the rod made of the wire rod from above, a tool is required at the time of assembly. There is no such thing as the number of parts is large and the installation location is unknown. Similarly, the product can be easily disassembled, so that the product can be assembled and disassembled by the end user. There is also a great advantage in terms of space during distribution.

The bottom grid 6 is formed in a grid shape with a smaller number of horizontal wires 6a and vertical wires 6b than other grids, and the left and right ends of the horizontal wires 6a are bent upward and their ends are bent. The parts are bent in an inverted U shape to provide hook-shaped engaging parts 6c.

On the bottom grid 6, a saucer 8 having four side surfaces folded up is placed, and a saucer-shaped bottom plate 9 is placed in the saucer 8. The axial rod 7 is adjacent to the four corners when the front lattice 1, the rear lattice 2, the left and right side lattices 3, 4 are arranged in a fence shape with their side ends abutting each other. The substantially circular rings of the lattice are arranged in a row and are inserted downwardly from above to connect the lattices. The upper end portion of the shaft rod 7 is an engaging curved portion 7a that is curved in a substantially R shape.

It is very easy to connect each lattice by inserting it from above, and the ceiling lattice and the bottom lattice are simply engaged with the horizontal wires of the left and right side lattices. It is easy to assemble and disassemble regardless of age or sex, without having to use it as a product, and without even parts for fine connection. Therefore, the end user's assembly instructions, etc., can be simple and easy to understand, and the assembly method will not be mistaken. In addition, the ceiling grid and the bottom grid engage with the upper and lower parts of the left and right side grids to draw them together, thus strengthening the connection with the front and rear grids. The backlash does not occur. Furthermore, if the shaft rods that connect the grids are made of wire made of the same material as the grids, all the products can be made of the same wire material, which is attractive in terms of design and of course the manufacturing cost can be reduced. is there.
