Description

  The present invention relates to a pet carry for carrying a pet such as a dog or a cat.

As a conventional pet carry, there is a “pet carry” disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.
The pet carry disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and one end in the longitudinal direction is open, and a left and right double doorway made of a wire is provided in the opening. In addition, a concave portion is provided on the ceiling surface, and a handle for holding a pet carry is provided in the concave portion. By providing the handle and making the portion into a recessed portion, the handle is prevented from protruding beyond the top surface.

The pet carry disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 cannot be opened on the ceiling surface, but the one that can open the ceiling surface is disclosed in Patent Document 2 “There is a pet carry”.
The pet carry disclosed in Patent Document 2 is a so-called basket type, and the entire upper surface is a lid, and one side of the lid is attached to the upper end of the side surface by a hinge so that it can be opened and closed.

JP 2004-344083 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-18604

As described above, the prior art document 1 is inconvenient because the ceiling part cannot be opened and the pet cannot be taken out from the upper part. Moreover, since a ceiling part cannot be opened, there also exists a problem that internal cleaning is difficult to do.
Furthermore, since the inside of the pet carry cannot be seen from above, the owner who wants to see the state of the pet at all times remains dissatisfied.

On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, since the upper part of the pet carry can be opened, the pet can be easily taken out and the inside can be easily cleaned.
On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, pets are taken in and out only from the top, and since there is no pet entrance / exit on the side, it is not possible to place a pet carry in a room and use it as a pet house.
In the thing of patent document 2, it is impossible in intensity | strength to provide an opening part in one surface of a longitudinal direction in the structure where the whole upper surface is opening.
Further, in Patent Document 2, since the inside cannot be seen when the lid is closed, the owner's dissatisfaction that he always wants to see a pet remains the same as Patent Document 1.
Moreover, since the thing of patent document 2 has the opening direction of a lid | cover on the other hand, when putting a pet carry on a floor etc., it is necessary to consider the opening direction of a cover, and is inconvenient.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a device capable of opening a ceiling surface and having an excellent degree of freedom in opening direction.

The inventor has an entrance with an open / close door on the end face in the longitudinal direction, and can be used as a pet house. We thought about making it easy to operate and stacking without protruding on the top surface.
If the ceiling door is opened in the horizontal direction, the area for installing the lock mechanism and the rotation mechanism must be secured in a narrow horizontal direction, which reduces the area of the opening, and allows the Inconvenient to clean.
In addition, when opening in the lateral direction, opening and closing in only one direction is inconvenient, but in order to be able to open and close in both directions, a rotation mechanism must be provided on both sides, and the area of the opening is small. It gets even smaller.

In the case of Patent Document 2, since the rotation mechanism is provided on the side surface of the main body and the ceiling surface is a fully open type, the area of the opening is large. There is a problem in strength to provide a pet house with an entrance on the surface.
In addition, when a pivot mechanism is provided on the side surface of the main body and the ceiling lid is opened laterally like the one described in Patent Document 2, the opened ceiling lid is located outside (on the side of the upper extension line of the main body). In order to prevent the ceiling lid from protruding to the side when opened, a rotation mechanism must be provided on the top surface of the main unit. As described above, there arises a problem that the area of the opening is reduced.

Therefore, the inventor considered opening and closing the ceiling lid in the vertical direction, which has not been conventionally performed. If the opening is in the vertical direction, the opening area is not compressed even if a space for the opening mechanism and the rotating mechanism is secured in the front and rear in the vertical direction.
In addition, since the lid can be opened in the vertical direction, there is room in the vertical direction, so the degree of freedom in the configuration of the rotation mechanism is high, and therefore the rotation mechanism is flattened without pressing the open area and the upper surface side. We obtained knowledge that it is possible to realize a ceiling lid that does not protrude.
The present invention has been made on the basis of such knowledge, and specifically comprises the following constitution.

(1) A pet carry according to the present invention includes a rectangular parallelepiped main body, an open / close door provided on an end surface in the longitudinal direction of the main body, and a ceiling surface of the main body, and extends downward. A bottomed frame-like ceiling lid having a frame portion that is provided with a pivot mechanism provided on one short side of the ceiling lid, and a lock mechanism that locks the ceiling lid on the other short side. It is characterized by being provided.

(2) Further, in the above-described (1), the rotating mechanism is configured such that the short side of the ceiling lid and the side part of the main body part facing the short side are inserted into each other in the longitudinal direction of the main body part. It has a concavo-convex portion, and a rotation shaft is provided on the concavo-convex portion.
By configuring the rotation mechanism as described above, the position of the rotation shaft provided on the concave and convex portions to be inserted into each other can be set to a desired position in the longitudinal direction of the main body within the overlapping range of the concave and convex portions. The lid does not interfere with the edge of the ceiling opening of the upper body at the time of opening and closing, although the lid has a frame portion extending downward and has a thickness.

  As one aspect of the rotation mechanism, it has a protruding piece portion protruding rearward from the short side of the ceiling lid, and a recessed portion provided on the main body portion side to accommodate the protruding piece portion, and the recessed portion The thing which inserts a protrusion piece part and is attached so that rotation is possible is mentioned.

(3) In the above (1) or (2), the ceiling cover is formed of a transparent resin.

(4) Moreover, in the above-described one of (1) to (3), a central portion of the ceiling lid has a concave portion that is recessed downward, and a handle is accommodated in the concave portion. It is characterized by being attached.
Providing the recessed portion in the ceiling lid increases the rigidity of the ceiling lid.

(5) Moreover, in the thing in any one of said (1) thru | or (4), the said opening-and-closing door is the double opening which can be opened and closed in any direction on either side, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.
By opening and closing the door, the right and left directions are lost in combination with the ceiling lid, making it easy to use.

In the pet carry according to the present invention, the main body portion is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the ceiling lid opens and closes with the rear side as a rotation axis. Therefore, when the ceiling lid is opened, the main body portion can be viewed from either the left or right direction. Can approach the inside. Therefore, the degree of freedom in placing the pet carry 1 is high and convenient.
In addition, since the ceiling lid is made rigid by forming a frame around the ceiling lid, the handle can be attached to the ceiling lid, the ceiling surface can be opened and closed, and the handle is attached to the ceiling surface. be able to.

By doing so, it functions as a rotation shaft that supports the door body 25 in a rotatable manner.
The operation piece 29 is configured by a mechanism for retracting the rotation shaft member 28. When the operation piece 29 provided on the left and right, for example, the right one is pressed and contracted from the top to the bottom, the projecting portion of the rotating shaft member 28 is retracted and comes out of the hole of the main body 3, and the left rotating shaft member The door body 25 can be rotated about the rotation axis 28.

  In addition, you may make it provide the opening part 9 for entrances / exits used as the entrance / exit of a pet in the both end surfaces of the main-body part 3 in the longitudinal direction.

<Ceiling lid>
The ceiling lid 7 covers the rectangular ceiling opening 17 formed in the main body 3 and has a bottomed frame shape having a frame portion 31 extending downward (see FIGS. 3 and 4). . The ceiling lid 7 has long sides on both sides, short sides on the front and rear sides, a rotation mechanism 33 on the rear side, and a lock mechanism 35 on the front side. That is, the ceiling lid 7 has a structure that opens and closes using the rear side as a pivot for rotation. For this reason, since the inside of the main body 3 can be approached from either the left or right side with the ceiling lid 7 opened, the pet of the main body 3 can be taken out or the main body 3 can be cleaned. Convenient.

  The ceiling lid 7 has a frame portion 31 extending downward around the periphery, so that the rigidity is enhanced. This is to support the weight of the main body 3 acting on the ceiling lid 7 when the pet carry 1 is held by the handle 37 provided at the center of the ceiling lid 7. In other words, by forming the ceiling lid 7 into the shape having the frame portion 31 as described above, the handle 37 can be provided regardless of the door that can be opened and closed.

Further, as described above, the ceiling lid 7 side is inserted into the bottom of the lower main body 3b so that the upper main body 3a can be stored in the lower main body 3b. Therefore, the ceiling lid 7 needs to be prevented from protruding on the upper surface. There are various ideas for realizing this.
As a devised point, there are a rotation mechanism 33 of the ceiling lid 7, a shape of an installation portion of the lock mechanism 35 in the ceiling lid 7, and a shape of an installation portion of the handle 37 in the ceiling lid 7.

First, the rotation mechanism 33 will be described.
The rotating mechanism 33 includes two protruding piece portions 39 protruding rearward from the rear side of the ceiling lid 7, and a rotating shaft 41 extending from the protruding piece portion 39 in the width direction of the upper body 3a (see FIG. 4). A recess 43 formed in the main body 3 to receive the protruding piece 39, and an insertion hole (not shown) formed in the recess 43 and into which the rotating shaft 41 is rotatably inserted. And is configured.
The protruding piece portion 39 is extended rearward, and the extended protruding piece portion 39 is accommodated in the recessed portion 43 of the upper main body 3a and rotated so that the position of the rotating shaft 41 protrudes. Since it can be moved forward from the tip position of the piece portion 39, the frame portion 31 can be opened at the ceiling opening portion of the upper body 3a at the time of opening and closing even though the ceiling lid 7 has the frame portion 31 extending downward. No interference with 17 edges.
In other words, the above structure can be said to be a structure that ensures the rigidity of the ceiling lid 7 and eliminates the protrusion of the ceiling lid 7 upward.

The locking claw 47 always protrudes outward in the width direction, and has a structure that moves inward by pressing the operating portion 49 inward.

The operation of the lock mechanism 35 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 4, the locking claw 47 has an inclined portion 53 inclined on the outer side from the ceiling lid 7 side toward the center, and is cut at the upper portion of the inclined portion 53 (portion close to the ceiling lid 7). A notch 55 is formed.
The locking claw 47 is normally urged outward in the width direction. When the ceiling lid 7 is closed in this state, the inclined portion 53 of the locking claw 47 comes into contact with the outer edge of the locking hole 51 and the claw is pressed and contracted inward. When the ceiling lid 7 is further pushed down, the tip of the locking claw 47 enters the inside of the locking hole 51 and the notch 55 is locked to the edge of the locking hole 51 so that the locking claw 47 is locked into the locking hole. Lock to 51.
When opening the ceiling lid 7, the operating portion 49 is pushed and shrunk to move the locking claw 47 inward, so that the locking claw 47 comes out of the edge of the locking hole 51, and the ceiling lid 7 is pulled up in that state. The ceiling lid 7 can be opened.

Next, the shape of the installation part of the handle 37 will be described.
At the center of the ceiling lid 7, there is a circular recessed portion 57 that is recessed downward, and a handle 37 is attached to the circular recessed portion 57 so as to be accommodated. By providing the circular concave portion 57 and accommodating the handle 37 in the circular concave portion 57, the rigidity of the ceiling lid 7 is increased and the handle 37 is prevented from protruding upward from the ceiling lid 7.

The ceiling lid 7 is made of a transparent resin. By forming the ceiling lid 7 with a transparent resin, the inside of the main body 3 can be seen from the outside even when the ceiling lid 7 is closed, and the desire of the owner who wants to see the state of the pet at all times is satisfied. Can do.
The term “transparent” includes not only colorless and transparent but also colored and transparent.

As described above, the pet carry 1 according to the present embodiment has the following various effects.
The main body 3 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the ceiling lid 7 opens and closes with the rear side as a pivot axis. it can. Therefore, the degree of freedom in placing the pet carry 1 is high and convenient.
Since the ceiling lid is made rigid by forming a frame around the ceiling lid 7, the handle can be attached to the ceiling lid, the ceiling surface can be opened and closed, and the handle is attached to the ceiling surface. Can do.
The projecting piece 39 is extended to the rear side on the rear side of the ceiling lid, and the projecting piece 39 thus extended is accommodated in the recessed portion 43 of the upper body 3a and rotated. 7 has a frame portion 31 extending downward and has a thickness, the frame portion 31 does not interfere with the edge of the ceiling opening 17 of the upper main body 3a when opening and closing. That is, the ceiling lid 7 has a structure that ensures rigidity and eliminates the protrusion to the upper side of the ceiling lid 7.

  In the above embodiment, as the structure of the rotation mechanism 33, the protruding piece 39 is provided on the rear side of the ceiling lid 7, and the recessed portion 43 in which the protruding piece 39 is accommodated on the upper main body 3a side. Although the example provided is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and a protruding piece portion protruding to the ceiling door 7 side is provided on the upper body 3a side, and the protruding piece is accommodated on the ceiling door 7 side. A portion may be provided. In short, the rotation mechanism has an uneven portion in which the short side of the ceiling lid and the side portion of the main body facing the short side are inserted in the front-rear direction, and the rotation shaft is provided on the uneven portion.
