The floor F is formed by overlapping the second and fourth bottom pieces 47 and 49 on the upper surface. In this case, the V-shaped notch 47A and the V-shaped notch 49A are engaged with each other such that the left portion of the adjacent bottom piece is inserted inside the right portion of each bottom piece 46, 47, 48, 49. To At the same time, the respective regions 47D and 49D of the second and fourth bottom pieces 47 and 49 are bonded to the third and first bottom pieces 48 and 46 by using, for example, an adhesive as glue margins.

Next, glue margins 19, 20, 29, 30 are moved along the glue fold curves 17, 18, 27, 28 of the first and third side wall pieces 10. After the roof piece 52 folded along the folding curve 52B is folded along the second upper folding curve 51 toward the accommodation space S, the glue margin pieces 19, 20, 29, 30 and the roof piece are folded. 52, for example, while being joined by an adhesive, the insertion piece 54 bent along the folding curve 53 is inserted so as to be attached to the inner upper end of the fourth side wall piece 13, and at the same time, the insertion piece 54 is It is joined to the fourth side wall piece 13 by the like. Further, the tongue piece 38, which has been bent in a direction away from the accommodation space S along the folding curve 36 in advance, is bent along the folding curve 39, and its tip is inserted into the slit 55 at the upper end of the roof piece 52.

Next, after making a cut along the drawing lines 22, 24, 33 and 56 of the side wall pieces 10, 11, 13 and the roof piece 52 with a knife, the portion surrounded by the drawing lines is perforated 23. , 25, 34, and 57, a ventilation opening 59 is formed at that portion. When a separately prepared insole sheet 60 made of corrugated cardboard, for example, having the same thickness as that described above is placed on the upper surface of the floor F of the kennel 1, the bottom pieces 46, 47, The unevenness due to the overlap of 48 and 49 is covered, and a flat floor surface is formed.

As a shipping form or a final selling form of the side wall portion 2 or the like as an assembling material of the kennel 1, first, as described above, a state in which it is formed as a single unfolded sheet state or Secondly, in addition to the state of being appropriately folded along each folding curve, for example, as described below, a part of the glue margin is previously joined to the corresponding portion and folded into a certain shape, that is, A semi-assembled state is adopted.

In such a semi-assembled state, as shown in FIG. 4, in the side wall portion 2, the glue margin piece 16 provided continuously with the first side wall piece 10 is a side end of the fourth side wall piece 13. It is joined to the part 13A. On the other hand, areas 47D and 49D as the second and fourth glue margins in the floor portion 3 are joined to the third and first bottom pieces 48 and 46 by, for example, an adhesive. The floor portion 3 thus joined is bent along the folding curves 47C and 49C and the lower folding curves 41, 42, 43 and 44 to form the second folding curve 7 and the glue folding curve 14. It is folded along the inside of the side wall portion 2 which is folded along to form a two-layered state. Therefore, the side wall portion 2 and the floor portion 3 are in a state where the side wall W and the floor F are formed only by expanding, and if the roof portion 4 alone is bent and joined to the side wall portion 2, the doghouse 1 is completed.

In any of these forms, since the side wall portion 2 and the like are in a flat or folded state, the space efficiency when storing and transporting the product is very good. Particularly, in the above-mentioned semi-assembled state, the presence of the notches 47B, 49B in the second and fourth bottom pieces 47, 49 in the floor portion 3 causes these bottom pieces 47, 49 and the third and first pieces to be in contact with each other. Since the overlapping thickness of the corners with the bottom pieces 48 and 46 is reduced, the side wall portion 2 and the floor portion 3 can be easily folded, and the thickness in the folded state can be reduced.

In this manner, the dog house 1 can be assembled very easily without using any special tools or the like. In particular, when the above-mentioned semi-assembled product is used, the assembly is further simplified. This kennel 1 can be used, for example, placed indoors such as an entrance, a living room, or, if waterproofed as described above, placed outdoors such as a veranda. When placed outdoors, a weight such as a water-filled plastic bottle may be attached to an appropriate portion of the kennel 1 to ensure stability against the wind. In the kennel 1 according to this embodiment, the roof pieces 52 do not protrude from the side walls W like eaves as shown in the figure, and therefore, both indoors and outdoors, are placed close to the walls of the house without gaps. be able to. Further, since the doghouse 1 is made of corrugated paper as described above, it is lighter than wood and plastic, so that the installation location can be easily changed indoors or outdoors.

A dog can enter and leave the accommodation space S through the opening 31 in such a dog house 1 and can rest. The kennel 1 is made of thick corrugated cardboard as described above. Therefore, the kennel 1 has moisture absorption of the material itself, has a ventilation effect by windows, and has good insulation properties. The softness not found in plastic makes it comfortable for dogs to live in. In particular, regarding the ventilation, a window formed by an opening 31 for the entrance and exit provided in the third side wall piece 12 and a drawing line 22 and a perforation 23 provided in the lower part of the first side wall piece 10 is provided by a ventilation port formed by a figure. Great ventilation effect. Since the insole sheet 60 is also made of corrugated cardboard, a soft touch is obtained when the dog lays on it. Note that, depending on the physical condition or season of the dog, the insole sheet 60 is not made of corrugated cardboard, and the temperature of the kennel can be adjusted using, for example, a flat rubber bag filled with water. .

Further, the dog house 1 and the insole sheet 60 are made of corrugated cardboard and thus are inexpensive, so that the dog becomes greasy and has an odor due to body odor and the like, so that the dog is significantly damaged and contaminated. When this happens, only the insole sheet 60 or the whole kennel 1 is replaced with a new one, and the economical burden of replacing it is light. Therefore, by increasing the replacement frequency, the doghouse 1 itself and its surroundings can always be kept clean. On the other hand, at the time of such replacement, the used dog house 1 or the insole sheet 60 is made of corrugated cardboard, so that it can be conveniently disposed of as burnable garbage.
