Technology Field

[0001] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a proper posture dog carrier that can hold a dog in a stable and proper posture. Background Technology

[0002] With the recent increase in households raising pet dogs, a wide variety of dog products are being released. Among these, various transport items such as dog strollers, sling bags, and carrier bags are being launched to ensure the safe movement of dogs and to prevent them from causing inconvenience to their surroundings.

[0003] A dog stroller is a stroller adapted for dogs; while convenient for both the dog and the owner, it has the disadvantages of being bulky and expensive.

[0004] A sling bag is an item used to carry a dog on one shoulder in a pocket-like space. However, since a sling bag requires supporting the dog's weight on one shoulder, it is difficult to use unless the dog is small.

[0005] In the case of carrier bags such as Application No. 10-2023-0035347, there are often issues where the dog feels anxious and uncomfortable because the carrier is held with its legs folded, either sitting inside the bag or with its legs hanging out. In particular, the form of the carrier described in the aforementioned prior art requires the dog to be carried by the user with its hind legs spread apart. However, because the distance between the dog's hind legs is narrow, this posture puts strain on the dog's patella and hip joints.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a mobility device that improves upon the shortcomings of the aforementioned mobility devices.

[0026] Hereinafter, a proper posture dog carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0027] FIG. 1a is a front perspective view illustrating a proper posture dog carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1b is a perspective view illustrating a part of the proper posture dog carrier according to FIG. 1a in an extended state. FIG. 2a is a perspective view illustrating the proper posture dog carrier according to FIG. 1a in an unfolded state. FIG. 2b and FIG. 2c are a front view and a side view illustrating a support cushion of the proper posture dog carrier according to FIG. 2a.

[0028] As illustrated in FIGS. 1a to 2a, a proper posture dog carrier (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be broadly divided into a main body part (100) positioned on the body side of the owner or user and a protective part (200) that wraps around the back of the dog.

[0029] Here, 'correct posture' refers to a posture in which the dog's front and hind legs are maintained in a manner similar to lying face down on the floor. In other words, the present invention defines the correct posture as a state in which the dog is lying comfortably face down. Therefore, the term 'correct posture' should be understood as meaning 'comfortable posture' rather than 'proper posture'.

[0030] The main body (100) may include a body plate (110), a support cushion (120) provided on the body plate (110), a shoulder strap (130) and a waist belt (140) connected to the body plate (110).

[0031] As illustrated in FIGS. 1a to 1c, the body plate (110) is a plate-shaped part that comes into close contact with the user's chest and body, with various shapes such as square, oval, rounded square, and trapezoid. After the body plate (110) is made into a certain shape, it may be filled with sponge or cotton to maintain its shape. The body plate (110) may be made of various materials, such as fabrics like cotton that provide a soft touch, or synthetic fiber fabrics with waterproofing functions. Of the two sides of the body plate (110), the side facing the user's chest and belly can be defined as the back side, and the opposite side as the front side. A support cushion (120) is attached to the front side of the body plate (110) to support the dog in a proper posture when holding the dog. Additionally, a shoulder strap (130) and a waist belt (140) are attached to the edge of the body plate (110).

[0032] As illustrated in FIGS. 2a to 2c, the support cushion (120) is attached to the body plate (110) and contacts the chest and belly of the dog to allow the dog to maintain a proper posture. Without the support cushion (120), the dog would have to be held by the user with its hind legs spread apart. However, because the distance between the dog's hind legs is narrow, this posture puts strain on the dog's patella and hip joints. Therefore, the support cushion (120) is essential to maintain the dog in the most comfortable posture possible (the aforementioned proper posture). The support cushion (120) allows the distance between the dog and the user to be maintained, thereby allowing the dog to maintain a proper posture.

[0033] The support cushion (120) is a cushion of a predetermined size filled with a filling material such as cotton or sponge. It has a length equal to or greater than the vertical length of the body plate (110), and the width in the left-right direction may be formed to be smaller than that of the body plate (110). Based on FIG. 2a, the support cushion (120) may have a roughly 'T' shape. Also, as shown in FIG. 2c, it has a predetermined thickness when viewed from the side, and the bottom may protrude toward the body plate (110). The vertically straight part of the support cushion (120) is a first support part (122) that supports the chest and belly of the dog when holding the dog. The part formed horizontally (perpendicular to the first support part) at the top of the first support part (122) is a second support part (124) that supports the front paws when holding the dog. The protruding part in FIG. 2c is the third support part (126) which is an extension from the bottom of the first support part (122). That is, the support cushion (120) is composed of a first support part (122) formed along the up-down direction of the body plate (110), a second support part (124) formed along the left-right direction on the upper part of the first support part (122), and a third support part (126) protruding from the bottom of the first support part (122) toward the body plate (110). Since the second support part (124) is a part where the dog's front paw rests, its length can be set considering the dog's chest width. The left-right width of the first support part (122) may be shorter than the left-right length of the second support part (124). Since the third support part (126) is held by bending the hind paws when holding the dog, its length extending from the first support part (122) can be set considering that posture. For example, in the case of a dog carrier for a long-legged dog, the length of the third support member (126) may be longer than the length of the third support member (126) in the case of a dog carrier for a short-legged dog. The support cushion (120) may be detachably attached to the body plate (110) or may be fixed in a non-detachable manner.Since the dog carrier can be manufactured in different sizes considering the size of the dog, the size of the support cushion can also vary depending on the size of the dog carrier. Additionally, as needed, the support cushion (120) can be made of various fabrics such as a fabric with a good feel, a breathable fabric, or a waterproof fabric.

[0034] As illustrated in FIGS. 1a to 1c, the shoulder strap (130) is a part worn over the user's shoulder and can be configured in a shape similar to the shoulder strap of a backpack. The shoulder strap (130) can be made of a cushioned material to support the weight of the dog. The shoulder strap (130) is a pair, and one end of each shoulder strap (130) can be fixed to each side of the upper part of the body plate (110). A length adjustment part (132) capable of adjusting the length is provided at the bottom of each shoulder strap (130), and the end of the length adjustment part (132) can be fixed to a waist belt (140). The length adjustment part (132) is composed of webbing and a buckle and can be in the same shape as a length adjustment part of a general dog harness or backpack. Additionally, the shoulder strap (130) may be additionally provided with a connection adjustment part (134). The connection adjustment part (134) connects a pair of shoulder straps (130) to prevent the shoulder straps (130) from slipping down, and can be provided at a position that crosses the user's back. The connection adjustment part (134) can also be composed of a length-adjustable webbing and buckle, similar to the length adjustment part (132).

[0035] Additionally, each shoulder strap (130) may be provided with a buckle (136) and a D-ring (138) for connection with the protective part (200) at a position facing forward of the user. The buckle (136) may be provided with the same type of buckle so that the buckle of the length adjustment part (220) provided in the protective part (200), which will be described later, can be coupled. The D-ring (138) is a D-shaped ring and is the part to which the connecting ring (234), which will be described later, is coupled.

[0036] The belt (140) is a part worn around the user's waist and can be configured in a shape similar to the waist strap of a hiking backpack. The belt (140) can also be made of a cushioned material to support the weight of the dog. The belt (140) is a pair, and one end of each belt (140) can be fixed to both sides of the bottom of the body plate (110). A length adjustment part (142) for adjusting the length can be provided at the end of each belt (140). The length adjustment part (142) is composed of webbing and a buckle and can be in the same shape as the length adjustment part of a general dog harness or backpack.

[0037] The lower part of the main body (100) of the above configuration is connected to the protection part (200).

[0038] As illustrated in FIGS. 1a to 2a, the protective part (200) may include a back plate (210) that wraps around and protects the back of a pet dog, a length adjustment part (220) that connects the back plate (210) to a shoulder strap (130), and an outer hood pocket (230).

[0039] The back plate (210) is a plate-shaped part that adheres to the back of the dog, having various shapes such as a square, oval, a square with rounded corners, or a trapezoid. After the back plate (210) is formed into a certain shape, it may be filled with sponge or cotton inside to maintain its shape. The back plate (210) may be made of various materials, such as fabrics like cotton that provide a soft touch, or synthetic fiber fabrics with waterproofing properties. Of the two sides of the back plate (210), the side facing the dog's back can be defined as the back side, and the opposite side as the front side. A portion of the back plate (210) may be made of mesh or net-shaped fabric for breathability (this portion is shown as 214 in FIGS. 1a to 2a). The breathable portion may be made at the tail position of the dog. The back plate (210) may be connected to the body plate (110) by a connecting plate (212) that is narrower in the left-right direction than the back plate. Since the connecting plate (212) is close to the part where the dog's hind legs are located, it can be made narrower than the back plate (210) to reduce discomfort when the dog extends or moves its hind legs. Based on FIG. 1a, length adjustment parts (220) may be provided on both sides of the upper part of the back plate (210).

[0040] As illustrated in FIGS. 1a and 2a, the length adjustment part (220) may be composed of webbing and a buckle. For example, the buckle may be a rotary buckle. The buckle of the length adjustment part (220) may be detachably connected to the buckle (136) of the body plate (110) described above. If the buckle of the length adjustment part (220) is equipped as a rotary buckle, the buckle may move together when the dog moves while being held. Therefore, even if the back plate (210) is fixed to the body plate (110), the back plate (210) may move slightly, thereby reducing the dog's discomfort or tightness.

[0041] As illustrated in FIGS. 1a and 1b, an outer hood pocket (230) may be provided on the upper front side of the back panel (210). The outer hood pocket (230) may be openable with a zipper and may contain a hood (121) inside. The hood (121) may be fixed at one end inside the outer hood pocket (230) and can be taken out to cover the dog's head. The hood (121) may be made similar to the hood of a human hoodie, or it may be made in a rectangular shape to form pleats and function as a hood. The hood (121) may be made of mesh or net-type fabric to ensure breathability. A pair of connecting loops (234) may be provided on the top of the hood (121). The connecting loops (234) may be attached to the D-ring (138) of the aforementioned shoulder strap (130). However, the hood (121) can be attached and detached using Velcro instead of the D-ring (138) and connecting ring (234). The hood (121) can be taken out and used to block the dog's vision or to block snow, rain, etc.

[0042] Meanwhile, the proper posture dog carrier of the present invention may be made in other forms (only structures different from the above-described embodiment will be described).

[0043] FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating an unfolded state of a proper posture dog carrier according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the proper posture dog carrier (10) according to another embodiment of the present invention has the same structure as the previously described embodiment, but the support cushion (120) may be provided in a straight shape. That is, the support cushion (120) may have a straight shape along the up-down direction of the body plate (110). Although not illustrated in detail in the drawing, the straight support cushion (120) may also have a protrusion identical to the previously described third support part (126).

[0045] Below, we will describe a user wearing the proper posture dog carrier according to the aforementioned embodiments and holding a dog.

[0046] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a front view of a dog wearing a proper posture carrier according to embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a back view of a dog wearing a proper posture carrier according to FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a side view of a dog wearing a proper posture carrier according to FIG. 1b.

[0047] As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, after the user wears the shoulder strap (130) and waist strap (140) of the upright dog carrier (10), the dog can be held between the body plate (110) and the back plate (210). At this time, the dog's head may come out above the body plate (110) and the back plate (210), and the dog's hind legs do not come out of the upright dog carrier (10) (depending on the dog's movement, some of the hind legs may come out. However, since the dog's hind legs are directed toward the user's belly rather than floating in the air, the dog can feel a sense of stability even if the hind legs come out). Since the dog can be held and supported in a manner similar to carrying a bag on the front, the user can conveniently carry the dog. Additionally, the dog's legs are not exposed and it can face the user's face, which can enhance the dog's sense of stability. If necessary, the hood (121) can be unfolded as shown in Fig. 6 to cover the dog's face. By providing a hood, the dog can be protected from fearful dogs, snow, rain, etc., and the dog's sense of security can be further enhanced.

[0048] The above description is merely one embodiment for implementing the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The technical spirit of the present invention extends to the scope in which various modifications can be made by anyone with ordinary knowledge in the field to which the invention belongs, without departing from the essence of the invention as claimed in the following patent claims.
