[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the pet carry case 1 according to the present invention includes the box-shaped case main body 2 in which the pet is stored and the window body 4 that can be opened in an upwardly open state. The window body 4 has one end thereof rotatably connected to the cover body 3 via the hinge 7 so that the entire cover body 3 is a casing. The pet can be easily taken in and out without opening the window body 4 disposed on the lid 3 without opening the pet body 2 without removing it from the main body 2. Further, when exchanging a sheet contaminated with manure or the like, the sheet exchange operation can be performed quickly by simply removing the lid 3 from the case main body 2.

Further, since the window body 4 is provided with the push button type stopper 8 which is engaged with the edge of the lid 3, the window body 4 is lifted while pushing the stopper 8 with one hand. By the operation, the window body 4 can be opened upward.

Further, the stopper 8 is rotatably pivoted into a recess 10 formed in the front edge of the window body 4 via the support projection 9, and a concave groove formed in the front edge of the lid 3. Since the push operation portion 13 has the locking portion 12 that engages with the locked portion 11 having the shape, the locking portion 12 of the push operation portion 13 is engaged with the locked portion 11 of the lid 3. In this case, the closed state of the window 4 can be reliably maintained. Further, when the engagement between the locking portion 12 of the pressing operation portion 13 and the locked portion 11 of the lid 3 is released, the window 4 can be easily opened to the upper open state.

In addition, since the stopper 8 has a tension plate 19 erected at the upper end of the pressing operation portion 13, when the index finger, the middle finger, or the like is put on the tension plate 19 and pulled, the support projection 9 is supported by the fulcrum. As a result, the stopper 8 can be smoothly rotated.

Further, since the stopper 8 is provided with the protruding pressing portion 20 on the front side of the pressing operation portion 13, the stopper 8 resists the urging force of the elastic member disposed on the back surface of the pressing operation portion 13. Can rotate smoothly. This is because the pressing portion 20 is pushed while pulling the tension plate 19 of the stopper 8 toward the front, so that the upper side of the pressing operation portion 13 is pulled forward with the support protrusion 9 as a fulcrum. The lower part is pushed rearward, so that the stopper 8 can be smoothly rotated with a small force.

On the other hand, since an elastic member that constantly urges the locking portion 12 of the pressing operation portion 13 outward is arranged on the back surface of the pressing operation portion 13, the locking portion 12 of the pressing operation portion 13 and the lid 3 are formed. The engaged state with the locked portion 11 can be reliably maintained.

Further, one end surface is fixed to the back surface of the pressing operation portion 13, and the other end surface is fixed to the bottom surface of the concave portion 10 at the front edge of the window body 4, so that the locking portion 12 of the pressing operation portion 13 is always outward. Since the substantially U-shaped leaf spring 14 is provided, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the locking portion 12 of the pressing operation portion 13 easily comes off from the locked portion 11 of the lid 3, The window 4 can be securely closed. Then, the pressing operation portion 13 serving as the stopper 8 is pressed by one hand against the urging force of the leaf spring 14, thereby engaging the pressing operation portion 13 engaged with the locked portion 11 of the lid 3. The stopper 12 can be easily detached, and the opening operation of the window 4 can be easily performed. At this time, if the stopper 8 is provided with the tension plate 19 and the pressing portion 20, the pressing portion 20 is pressed while pulling the tension plate 19 of the stopper 8 toward the front, so that the pressing operation is performed with the support protrusion 9 as a fulcrum. The upper part of the part 13 is pulled to the front side, and at the same time, the lower part of the pressing operation part 13 is pushed to the rear side, so that the stopper 8 can be smoothly rotated with a small force.

In addition, two windows 4 are arranged on the upper surface of the lid 3, and a storage recess 16 is provided inside the lid 3 on one side of the window 4. And small items such as a shoulder belt attached to the case body 2 can be stored.
