Description

The present invention relates to a hood closing structure for a pet carrier that holds a hood that can be opened and closed of the pet carrier that is accommodated when transporting a pet such as a dog in a closed state.

Pets such as dogs should walk directly when taking a walk for exercise. However, pets that have a close relationship with their owners are often taken with them when they engage in various social activities, in which case they are carried in a carrier such as a bucket. Since the carrier for accommodating pets weighs several kilograms, it is attached to a cart frame with wheels so that it can be transported as a pet cart (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, the bucket for accommodating pets is removed from the cart frame and attached to the front basket of the bicycle so that the pet can be transported by bicycle. A pet cart has also been proposed in which a storage portion for carrying a pet can be opened and closed with a cover, and the pet cart can be folded together with a stand frame corresponding to the cart frame to stand on its own (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In addition, a carry cot as a pet carrier that can open and close the hood provided above the storage unit is attached to and detachable from the cart frame, and the cart frame can be folded with the carry cot removed. Has been commercialized in large numbers.

The bucket of Patent Document 1 has a form in which a storage portion formed by covering a frame having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view with a bag body is covered with a hood portion that can be opened and closed and removed. However, even if the hood portion is closed, there is no mechanism for holding the hood portion in a closed state. The accommodating portion of Patent Document 2 is also in the form of opening and closing with a cover, and is provided with a fastener that holds the space between the cover and the accommodating portion in a closed state. Even in a carrycot, the hood and the housing can be fastened with a zipper.

In Patent Document 1, even if the space between the hood portion and the frame of the storage portion is closed, the mechanism for holding the closed state is not provided, so that the hood portion opens when the pet rises from the inside. There is a risk. As in Patent Document 2, if a fastener for holding the cover and the accommodating portion in a closed state is provided, the pet will not open even if the pet rises inside the accommodating portion. However, the fastener tape will be attached to the upper frame of the accommodating portion. When the cover is open, the fastener tape is easily bitten by pets, and if it is bitten, the arrangement of the elements will be disturbed and it will be difficult to close it by operating the fastener slider. In addition, pets can easily lean out from the open upper frame or go out with just their mouth. Since the fastener tape is provided on the surface of the upper frame, the fastener element planted on the fastener tape may touch the pet, causing hair to get entangled or contact with the fastener element, causing pain or discomfort. There is. To prevent this, cushions are used, but when closing the cover, it is necessary to remove the cushions and store them separately. Further, the operation of opening and closing by the fastener slider needs to be performed over a considerably wide range, which is troublesome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hood closing structure for a pet carrier that can easily and reliably open and close the hood.

FIG. 1 shows a hood closing structure of a carry cot 1 as a pet carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention in comparison with a hood closing structure of a conventional carry cot 11 by a fastener 20. The carry cot 1 of this embodiment also has the same basic structure as the conventional carry cot 11 as a pet carrier. That is, the carry cots 1 and 11 are formed by covering the lower accommodating portions 2 and 12 with the box-shaped accommodating portions frames 3 and 13 and covering the bag bodies 4 and 14, respectively. On the upper side of the carry cots 1 and 11, there are hoods 5 and 15 that cover the accommodating portions 2 and 12 so as to be openable and closable. The hoods 5 and 15 are formed by hanging cloth covers 7 and 17 on the hood frames 6 and 16. Such carrycots 1 and 11 are used as a pet carrier capable of accommodating and transporting pets such as dogs in the accommodating portions 2 and 12.

The carry cot 1 of the present embodiment is a buckle 10 provided between the hood frame 6 at the lower part of the hood 5 and the accommodating portion frame 3 at the upper part of the accommodating portion 2 in the center of the front, and the hood frame 6 and the accommodating portion frame.

The cart frame 50 has a front wheel 52 and a rear wheel 53 at the bottom of the support frame 51, and a handle 54 at the rear of the top. The carrycot support portion 55 provided on the support frame 51 is connected to the support portion 2a of the accommodating portion 2 of the carrycot 1, and can be used as a pet cart in the connected state. The carry cot 1 to be connected has buckles 10 provided on both front and rear sides. The buckle 10 and the mesh material 7a can be face-to-face with only the rear side. It can also be on the front side only. Although the carry cot 1 is removable from the cart frame 50, it can also be an integrated pet cart as in Patent Document 2.

The hood closing structure by the buckle 10 as in this embodiment can hold a closed state between the hood 5 and the hood frame 6 of the accommodating portion 2 and the accommodating portion frame 3. If the buckle 10 is removed, the hood 5 can be easily opened, and if the buckle 10 is not removed, the hood 5 can be kept closed. Therefore, when the pet is accommodated and transported in the pet carrier such as the carry cot 1, the pet can be reliably transported unless the buckle 10 is removed. If the buckle 10 is removed, the hood 5 can be easily opened. There is no problem that the pet bites and does not close as in the case of using the conventional fastener 20.
