Description

A combination of cat house and cat carrier < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The present invention relates to a cats-based mobile cage which has a strong appearance and is free of additional connecting material while having a proper strength and allowing the cats to eliminate boredom and stress in the mobility area.

As the number of single-person households and the aging population grows, more and more people are raising pets. The perception of animals has also changed, and unlike in the past, when animals were regarded as pets, the word "companion animals" came to be seen as important as a family member. Reflecting this tendency, the population of domestic companion animals exceeded 10 million people by 2014, and the domestic companion animal industry also grew every year, and the market size by 2015 increased to 1.800 trillion won. As such, companion animals are not only an emotional security for people, but also an additive to social and economic value.

Among companion animals, cats are independent and quiet compared to dogs. They are easy to raise because they do not need frequent bathing and training is easy. Because of this, modern people who are busy with their school or work life and lack time to take care of their animals prefer cats. In addition, cats are relatively small in exercise, mainly in the indoor activities, such as the elderly people are less able to raise animals who are less active.

In order to raise a cat, various items such as cat sand, cat toilet, and cat tower are needed. Because cats are sensitive to stressful situations such as strangers, places, car noise, and so on, when they are out in their arms, they can jump out quickly.

There are various types of mobility by type and material, but it is difficult to find a mobility area with proper strength and weight for cats. The most commonly used is a carrier type mobile material, which is made of fabric, plastic, and metal. The fabric recycling area is light but weak because it is easy to collapse due to external impact, which can injure the cat. On the other hand, the plastic material or metal material movement field is strong against external impact, but is heavy and bulky.

Other mobility include backpack, shoulder bag, and wheeled carrier-type mobility. However, since the backpack type and shoulder bag type traveling areas are made mainly of fabric materials, they are also poor in safety, and the wheeled carrier type traveling area has a problem in that it requires less space but sufficient space for dragging.

Even if you use cats to protect your cat from the outside, if the cat is in a long-term mobility environment, you may feel bored or stressed and nervous. However, existing mobility spaces have only a simple protection function, and very few have been made considering the characteristics of cats. In the prior art Patent No. 10-0827203, a hand-in-hand portion is added to the side of a portable pet bag and an escape-preventing glove is attached to the inside of the hand-held pet bag, Reference). These techniques can be helpful for dogs, but cats are not suitable because they do not like riding their hands when stressed.

There is also no way to relieve the boredom and stress of cats in the old mobility area. The easiest way is to put the toys in the mobiles. Most mobiles do not have enough space to move the cats while playing with the toys.

Patent No. 10-0827203

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only the contents and scope of technology of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention based on these examples. It is also to be understood that when an element of a claim is referred to by reference to an element, it is for the purpose of illustration only and is not intended to limit the element.

In some of the drawings of the present invention, some of the components are omitted or made transparent in order to make the inside of the mobile station visible.

The present invention relates to a cage-combination mobile station characterized by comprising a housing (10) and a scratcher (20) covering the inside of the housing (10).

In the present invention, the housing 10 is a space for storing a cat, and includes a door 14 which can be opened or closed with a detachable or hinged opening. There is no limitation on the shape of the housing 10, but it is preferable that the inner bottom be U-shaped in consideration of the characteristics of a cat that feels a sense of security in a space adapted to the body of the catheter. It is preferable that the shape is not excessively wider than the average width (see Fig. 2).

In the present invention, the scratch 20 (toenail scraper) is a tool for scraping the cat by claws to relieve stress. The scratch 20 covers the entire bottom surface of the housing 10 and has a U- (See FIG. 3). The material of the scratch 20 may be rough, irregular, and easy to trim the claws of the cat. Natural materials, synthetic resins, pulp and wood may be used as the material. Particularly, compressed corrugated cardboard is preferable for scratching because it is inexpensive and easy to handle.

In the present invention, the housing 10 may include a frame 11, a bottom plate 12, a side plate 13, a rear plate 15, and an opening / closing plate 16 in addition to the door 14 Reference).

The frame 11 is formed as a pair, and the door 14 and the rear plate 15 are mounted on the frame 11, respectively. The upper and lower frames 11 and 11 are polygonal, and the polygonal faces are spaced apart from each other. At this time, in order to reinforce the frames 11, a reinforcing frame may be added to the space where the two frames are spaced apart to connect the bottom or both sides of the frames 11.

The bottom plate 12 constitutes the bottom of the housing 10 and has both ends fixedly coupled to the bottom of the pair of frames 11, and a scratch 20 is mounted on the top.

The side plates 13 constitute the side surfaces of the housing 10 and are fixedly coupled at opposite ends to opposite sides of the pair of frames 11 and fixed at the lower ends of the bottom plates 12 Lt; / RTI >

The door 14 constitutes the front surface of the housing 10 and is coupled to the upper surface of the polygon of the one frame 11, and the coupling method at this time is preferably a detachable coupling or a hinge coupling. The shape of the door 14 may vary, but it is preferable that the shape of the outer periphery of the door 14 is the same as the shape of the outer periphery of one side (the other side) frame 11 in order to minimize the unevenness to form a clean appearance.

The rear panel 15 is a rear surface (back surface) of the housing 10 and is fixedly or removably coupled to the upper surface of the polygon of the other frame 11. It is preferable that the shape of the rear plate 15 is the same as the shape of the outer periphery of one side (the other side) of the frame 11 like the door 14.

The opening and closing plate 16 constitutes the upper part of the housing 10 and is coupled to the upper part of the pair of frames 11 by the sliding means 17 or the attaching / detaching means. At this time, it is preferable that the sliding means 17 or the dismounting means is located inside the upper part of the frame 11 so as not to be seen from the outside for the appearance. As described above, the opening / closing plate 16 is slidably engaged or disengaged and is easily opened and closed. Thus, the opening / closing plate 16 can be opened to serve as a cat house, or the opening / closing plate 16 can be closed. When the opening and closing plate 16 is opened, the opening and closing plate 16 may not be apparently bad if it protrudes excessively from the housing 10. At this time, the opening and closing plate 16 is formed into a shape in which a plurality of plate members are coupled, It is also possible to add a foldable connection portion 16a such as a hinge to fold the side plate 13 against the side plate 13 when the opening and closing plate 16 is opened.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the housing 10, and some components are omitted in order to make each component visible in the drawings.

The sliding means 17 for coupling the opening and closing plate 16 and the upper portion of the frame 11 may include a sliding rail 17a and a connecting portion 17b. The sliding rail 17a is formed on both sides of the leg portion of the frame 11. The connecting portion 17b is fixedly coupled to the upper end of the opening and closing plate 16 and the other end is connected to the sliding rail 17a. For example, when the sliding rail 17a is formed on both sides of the opening / closing plate 16, the connecting portion 17b can be positioned on the s-shaped portion 17a of the frame 11, And can be fixedly coupled to the lower ends of both sides.

An example of the process of opening the opening / closing plate 16 is as shown in Fig. The opening / closing plate 16 is slid downward as shown in 1) to 3) of FIG. 5, and is folded down as shown in FIG. 5 (4) to face the side plate 13 (side view illustration is omitted in the drawing). 6, the sliding rail 17a and the connecting portion 17b are used to connect the opening / closing plate 16 (see FIG. 6) to the inside of the opening / closing plate 16 6), the opening / closing plate 16 is folded by the foldable connecting portion 16a (for example, a hinge) formed inside the opening / closing plate 16 in FIG.

On the other hand, since the door 14 is detachable from the frame 11, it is difficult to store the door 14 separately. Accordingly, the door 14 may be detachably coupled to the rear plate 15. The door 14 and the back plate 15 may be detachably coupled to each other by a fit-fitting type or by adding a magnet to the door 14 and the back plate 15 so that when the two components come into contact with each other, .

When the present invention is used as a cat mobility field, a removable means 30 can be added to the housing 10 to allow the user to carry it more conveniently. The moving means 30 may be various, but may include, for example, a pair of moving straps 31 and a joining member 32 coupling the moving strap 31 and the housing 10 ). At this time, the movable strap 31 can be utilized as a handle or a shoulder strap by adjusting its length.

Another way to enhance user convenience is to add a mobile shell. The opening and the shoulder strap opening are formed at both ends of the moving shell, and when both ends of the moving shell are oriented upwardly while covering the outside (bottom and side) of the housing 10 with the moving shell, So that it can be utilized as a handle or a shoulder strap.
