The carrier may be generally rectangular when viewed from the top thereof, with a longitudinal axis / longitudinal (in Figures 1A to 17E in the figure indicated by arrow A) and the transverse axis / lateral (in the figure indicated by arrow A) and the transverse axis / lateral Figures 1A to 17E In the embodiment of the present invention, the carrier can be arranged and installed on the back seat of the vehicle, with its longitudinal axis parallel to the seat, that is, its transverse axis (direction B) is parallel to the driving direction of the vehicle.
[0080] See also Figure 1A and Figure 1B, schematically shows a perspective schematic diagram of a carrier 100 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The travel device includes a carrier 100, which is used to accommodate an animal. The carrier 100 can be mounted on a base (not shown) of the travel device installed in a vehicle. The carrier 100 includes a box portion (also referred to as a box) 110, which defines a receiving space for accommodating an animal; a roof portion (also referred to as a roof assembly) 120, which is detachably attached to the box portion 110; the roof portion 120 can be directly connected to the box portion 110, or the roof portion 120 is indirectly connected to the box portion 110, for example, by means of a bracket assembly 140 described below; and a handle 130, both ends of which are pivotally and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 110. The carrier 100 also includes a bracket assembly 140 connected to the box portion 110, and the carrier 100 can be mounted on a base (not shown) installed in a vehicle, or can be mounted on a cart through the bracket assembly 140. The box portion 110 and the bracket assembly 140 can be at least a part of the housing body of the carrier 100.
[0081] When viewed from the top of the box portion 110, the box portion 110 may be rectangular, including a pair of opposite long sides extending in the longitudinal direction A and a pair of opposite short sides extending in the transverse direction B. In the present embodiment, the handle 130 is pivotally connected to the opposite long sides of the box portion 110. The box portion 110 may be covered by a seat cover 115. In the present embodiment, the roof portion 120 may be a two-piece roof. That is, the roof portion 120 may include a first (right) cover 121 and a second (left) cover 122, which are detachably connected to each other by a first connecting member 123, and the first connecting member 123 is, for example, a zipper, a fastener or various connectors. The first cover 121 and the second cover 122 of the roof portion 120 have similar sizes and shapes, and when connected to each other, the roof portion 120 is dome-shaped. The dome-shaped ceiling portion 120 has a lower periphery 120A, which corresponds to the upper periphery 110A of the box portion 110 and is detachably connected to the upper periphery 110A of the box portion 110. In the present embodiment, the ceiling portion 120 is attached to the periphery of the seat cover 115 using a second connecting member 124 (e.g., a zipper) to be detachably connected to the box portion 110.
[0082] In the present embodiment, as described, the roof portion 120 is detachably connected to the seat cover 115, for example, by a zipper as the second connecting member 124, so that the roof portion 120 is attached to the box portion 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the roof portion can be attached to the box portion using connecting members other than zippers, including but not limited to various fastener assemblies, magnetic connectors, etc.
[0083] In this embodiment, the carrier 100 further includes at least one connection reinforcement member 125 (also referred to as a connection assembly), which is disposed on the roof portion 120 and is used to further fix the roof portion 120 to the box portion 110. For example, in this embodiment, the carrier 100 may include six connection reinforcement members 125 (one connection reinforcement member 125 is disposed on each side corresponding to each short side of the box portion 110, and two connection reinforcement members 125 are disposed on each side corresponding to each long side of the box portion 110). Figure 1A and Figure 1B Only three connection reinforcements 125 are shown and labeled. Each connection reinforcement 125 is connected to the ceiling portion 120 by its end (i.e., the first end) 125A and extends from the ceiling portion 120 toward the box portion 110, and can be detachably connected to the box portion 110 by an end (i.e., the second end) 125B away from the end 125A. In this embodiment, the connection reinforcement 125 can be firmly attached to the ceiling portion 120 by its end 125A by means such as but not limited to sewing, bonding, laminating, etc. The connection reinforcement 125 can be connected to the box portion 110 by its end 125B using various buckles and snaps, such as but not limited to mutually matching caps and sockets, mutually matching studs or buttonholes and columns, etc. That is, mutually matching buckles or snaps 126 or 116 are respectively provided on the end 125B of the connection reinforcement 125 and the box portion 110 (e.g., the side wall of the box portion 110). In this way, when the snaps 126 on the connection reinforcement 125 and the snaps 116 on the box portion 110, which correspond to and cooperate with each other, are connected to each other by pressing or snapping, the connection between the roof portion 120 and the box portion 110 can be improved by connecting the six connection reinforcements 125 to the box portion 110. That is, in various embodiments of the present invention, the connection relationship between the roof portion 120 and the box portion 110 is improved by connecting at least one connection reinforcement 125 between the roof portion 120 and the box portion 110.
[0084] As described, in the present embodiment, the connection reinforcement 125 may be securely attached to the roof portion 120 via its end 125A, and may be removably connected to the box portion 110 via its end 125B. However, as an alternative, the end 125A of the connection reinforcement 125 may be removably connected to the roof portion 120 via, for example, various snap fasteners. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, six connection reinforcements 125 are symmetrically arranged on the roof portion 120, with one connection reinforcement 125 arranged on each short side and two connection reinforcements 125 arranged on each long side, thereby providing an enhanced, stable and uniform connection between the roof portion 120 and the box portion 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In alternative embodiments, the number and position of the connection reinforcements may vary depending on the actual design and application of the vehicle. Figure 1A and Figure 1B The embodiments shown in FIG.
[0085] The connection reinforcement 125 according to the present invention provides an additional connection between the roof portion 120 and the box portion 110. Thus, when the carrier 100 carrying animals is subjected to impact or external collision, the additional connection provided by the connection reinforcement 125 can prevent the roof portion 120 from separating from the box portion 110, thereby preventing the animals in the carrier 100 from "flying out" of the carrier 100, thereby improving the safety of the animals in the carrier.
[0086] See also Figure 2 , schematically shows a side view of a carrier 200 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The travel device includes a carrier 200, and the carrier 200 is used to accommodate an animal therein. The carrier 200 has Figure 1A and Figure 1B The carrier 200 is similar in structure and construction to the carrier 100 shown. The carrier 200 includes a box portion 210, a roof portion 220 removably attached to the box portion 210, handles 230 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 210, and a bracket assembly 240 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 210.
[0087] Vehicle 200 and Figure 1A and Figure 1B The carrier 100 of the present invention is different in that, in this embodiment, the roof portion 220 is mainly composed of an integral (also called one-piece) cover and is attached to the box portion 210 at its lower periphery 220A without using a zipper as a connecting member.
[0088] More specifically, the roof portion 220 includes a plurality of (six in this embodiment) connection reinforcements 225, which are connected to the cover and extend from the lower periphery 220A. The connection reinforcement 225 extends toward the box portion 210 and is connected to the outer side of the side wall of the box portion 210 in a manner similar to the connection reinforcement 125. In this embodiment, the connection reinforcement 225 can be integrally formed with the roof portion 220. That is, the six connection reinforcements 225 in this embodiment form an integral structure with the roof portion 220 and cannot be disassembled therefrom, thereby further improving the connection between the roof portion 220 and the box portion 210. In this embodiment, the roof portion 220 can be attached to the box portion 210 only by the connection reinforcement 225. Alternatively, in addition to the connection reinforcement 225, the roof portion 220 can also be attached to the box portion 210 by an optional connector at its periphery.

The carrier 700 has Figure 5 The carrier 700 has a similar structure and construction to the carrier 500 shown in the figure, and includes a box portion 710, a roof portion 720 detachably attached to the box portion 710, a handle 730 pivotably and detachably connected to the opposite sides of the box portion 710, and a bracket assembly 740 connected to the box portion 710. In this embodiment, the first frame 741 and the connecting frame 742 of the bracket assembly 740 respectively correspond to the contours of the box portion 710, and when connected to the box portion 710, the box portion 710 can be supported in a relatively stable and secure manner. The second frame 743 is connected to the outside of the box portion 710, and the second frame 743 allows the carrier 700 to be attached to a base installed in a vehicle through it. Similarly, the roof portion 720 is mainly composed of an integrated cover and is attached to the box portion 710 at its lower periphery 720A, and a zipper as a connecting member is not used.
[0099] Vehicle 700 and Figure 5 The difference between the carrier 500 and the carrier 700 is that in this embodiment, the connection reinforcements 725 extending from the roof portion 720 of the carrier 700 can be attached to the box portion 710 without any additional connection means (e.g., snaps). In this embodiment, the connection reinforcements 725 can be integral with the roof portion 720. That is, the four connection reinforcements 725 in this embodiment form an integral structure with the roof portion 720 and cannot be removed therefrom.

Each connection reinforcement 725 can be formed to have a rigid hook-shaped end 725B, which can be received by the corresponding recess on the first frame 741 of the bracket assembly 740 for engagement, instead of passing through the opening formed by the U-shaped retaining ring attached to the first frame 741. In this way, the connection of the roof portion 720 to the box portion 710 can be improved by the engagement of the connection reinforcement 725 with the respective recesses, without the need to use any additional fasteners or connectors, thereby providing a relatively simplified configuration for the carrier 700.
[0100] See also FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C , schematically illustrates a vehicle 800 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8A and Figure 8B A perspective view showing the attachment and detachment of the connection reinforcement 825 to the box portion 810 of the carrier 800, Figure 8C The structure of the connection reinforcement member and the structure of the guide groove formed on the first frame 841 are schematically shown.
[0101] The travel device includes a carrier 800 for accommodating an animal therein. The carrier 800 has Figures 6A to 6C The carrier 800 has a similar structure and construction to the carrier 600 shown in FIG. 8 , and includes a box portion 810, a roof portion 820 attached to the seat cover 815 and thereby attached to the box portion 810 by a second connecting member 824 (e.g., a zipper), a handle 830 pivotably and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 810, and a bracket assembly 840 connected to the box portion 810. Similarly, the roof portion 820 in this embodiment may include a first (right) cover 821 and a second (left) cover 822, which are detachably connected to each other by a first connecting member 823 (e.g., a zipper), so that the roof portion 820 may be formed into a dome shape, and is detachably connected to the upper periphery 810A of the box portion 810 by a second connecting member 824 at its lower periphery 820A. Similarly, in this embodiment, the first frame 841 and the connecting frame 842 of the bracket assembly 840 have respective profiles corresponding to the profiles of the box portion 810, and when connected to the box portion 810, the box portion 810 can be supported in a relatively stable and secure manner. The second frame 843 is connected to the outside of the box portion 810, and the second frame 843 allows the carrier 800 to be attached to a base installed in a vehicle.
[0102] Vehicle 800 and FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C The difference between the carrier 600 and the embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the first frame 841 of the bracket assembly 840 is formed to have a guide groove (also called a first guide groove) 816, and the guide groove 816 is used to receive, guide and limit the corresponding connection reinforcement member 825. More specifically, as Figure 8B and Figure 8C As shown, the guide groove 816 is provided on the first frame 841, on the upward side, and can be formed to include a first (receiving) portion 816A, a second (guiding) portion 816B and a third (limiting) portion 816C. The first (receiving) portion 816A and the second (guiding) portion 816B are open to receive the engaging end (i.e., the second end) 825B of the connecting reinforcement 825 and guide the body of the connecting reinforcement 825. The connecting reinforcement 825 is formed to have a sleeve-shaped portion 825C on the engaging end 825B, and the sleeve-shaped portion 825C is used to accommodate a guide rod (also called a first guide rod) 826 therein. The shape and size of the guide rod 826 correspond to the limiting portion 816C of the guide groove 816, so that the engaging end 825B with the guide rod 826 can be guided in the limiting portion 816C of the guide groove 816 to move smoothly and be limited. In this embodiment, as Figure 8BAs shown in the enlarged view of , the first receiving portion 816A of the guide groove 816 can be tapered, for example, from right to left (or vice versa). That is, the first portion 816A is formed to have a starting (e.g., right) end and a tapered (e.g., left) end, the size and shape of the starting end allow the receiving of the engagement end 825B having the guide rod 826, and the tapered (e.g., left) end is spatially connected to the second (guide) portion 816B, and the size and shape of the second (guide) portion 816B correspond to the thickness of the body of the connecting reinforcement 825. In this way, only the body of the connecting reinforcement 825 is allowed to move into the second portion 816B of the guide groove 816. The engagement end 825B having the guide rod 826 is received by the first (receiving) portion 816A and moves along the direction C until it completely enters the second (guide) portion 816B of the guide groove 816, and the guide rod 826 will be restricted in the third (limiting) portion 816C and is prohibited from moving out of the guide groove 816 through the second (guide) portion 816B.
[0103] refer to Fig. 8A and 8C , showing the connection of the connection reinforcement 825 to the box portion 810. The carrier 800 is provided with four connection reinforcements 825, each of which is connected to the ceiling portion 820 and extends therefrom through an end (i.e., a first end) 825A. As described, in this embodiment, the first frame 841 of the bracket assembly 840 includes a guide groove 816 composed of a first (receiving) portion 816A (which is tapered from right to left), a second (guiding) portion 816B and a third (limiting) portion 816C. By Figure 8B The engaging end 825B is loaded into the right (starting) end of the first part 816A in the direction C shown, the engaging end 825B with the guide rod 826 is positioned in the third part 816C, and then the engaging end 825B is slightly moved toward the left (tapered) end of the first part 816A (i.e., along the Figure 8B When the connecting reinforcement 825 is received in place, the engaging end 825B can be limited in the third portion 816C and can be prohibited from moving out of the guide groove 816. Thus, the connecting reinforcement 825 is engaged to the first frame 841 of the bracket assembly 840, and thus engaged to the box portion 810, as shown in FIG. Fig. 8A In this way, the connection between the roof portion 820 and the box portion 810 can be improved by engaging the connection reinforcement 825 with each guide groove 816 without using any additional fasteners or connectors, thereby providing a relatively simplified configuration for the carrier 800 while achieving a relatively strong connection compared to the previous embodiment.
[0104] Please refer to Fig. 9, schematically shows a perspective view of a carrier 900 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The travel device includes a carrier 900, and the carrier 900 is used to accommodate an animal therein. The carrier 900 has Figure 3A and Figure 3B The carrier 900 includes a box portion 910, a roof portion 920 attached to the seat cover 915 and thus attached to the box portion 910 by a second connecting member 924 (e.g., a zipper), a handle 930 pivotally and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 910, and a bracket assembly 940 connected to the box portion 910. Similarly, the roof portion 920 in this embodiment may include a first (right) cover 921 and a second (left) cover 922, which are detachably connected to each other by a first connecting member 923 (e.g., a zipper), so that the roof portion 920 can be formed into a dome shape, and is detachably connected to the upper periphery 910A of the box portion 910 by a second connecting member 924 at its lower periphery 920A. Similarly, in this embodiment, the first frame 941 and the connecting frame 942 of the bracket assembly 940 have respective profiles corresponding to the profiles of the box portion 910, and when connected to the box portion 910, the box portion 910 can be supported in a relatively stable and secure manner. The second frame 943 is connected to the outside of the box portion 910, and the second frame 943 allows the carrier 900 to be attached to a base installed in a vehicle.
[0105] Vehicle 900 and Figure 3A and Figure 3BThe difference of the carrier 300 is that, in this embodiment, the connection between the roof portion 920 and the box portion 910 is achieved by connecting the respective connecting belts provided on the roof portion 920 and the bracket assembly 940. Specifically, the carrier 900 includes four first connecting belts 925 as connecting reinforcements, the end 925A of each first connecting belt 925 (i.e., the first end of the connecting reinforcement) is connected to the roof portion 920, and the free end 925B of each first connecting belt 925 (i.e., the second end of the connecting reinforcement) is connected to the connector 926, which is, for example, a hook or a fastener. The carrier 900 also includes two second connecting belts 917 attached to the bracket assembly 940, each second connecting belt 917 includes two free ends, and the two free ends are respectively connected to the retaining ring 916, which is, for example, a D-shaped ring. The retaining ring 916 is exposed so that each first connecting belt 925 is connected to the retaining ring 916 through its respective connector 926. That is, the free end of the second connection belt 917 is detachably connected to the second end of the first connection belt 925. In this way, the connection between the roof portion 920 and the box portion 910 of the carrier 900 can be further improved by connecting the four first connection belts 925 to the respective retaining rings 916 on the bracket assembly 940.
[0106] It is worth noting that the first connecting strap 925 (each of which has a connector 926 on its free end 925B) can be Figure 3A and Figure 3B The second connecting strap 917 (having a retaining ring 916 at each of its two free ends) can also be replaced by the connecting reinforcement 325 shown (or vice versa). Figure 3A and Figure 3B The U-shaped retaining ring 316 attached to the first frame 341 is replaced. That is, by combining the methods shown in different embodiments of the present invention, the close connection method of the roof part and the box part of the carrier can be modified.

[0127] Please refer to FIG. 17A to FIG. 17E , schematically shows different views of a travel device 17 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Fig.17A and Fig. 17B As shown, the travel device 17 includes a carrier 1700 and a base 1790. The carrier 1700 may be constructed in a similar manner to the previous embodiments, including a case portion 1710, and handles 1730 pivotably and detachably connected to opposite sides of the case portion 1710.
[0128] like FIG. 17B to FIG. 17DAs shown, the base 1790 in this embodiment can be designed as a drawer-type structure. More specifically, the base 1790 is mainly composed of a transverse side wall 1790A and two opposite longitudinal side walls 1790B and 1790D, defining an internal space 1792 for accommodating the carrier 1700, and leaving a side opening 1790C for the carrier 1700 to be loaded therein.

The directional terms "longitudinal" and "transverse" are only used to make the description of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, and are not used to improperly limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0132] Fig.18 The following schematically shows a three-dimensional view of a carrier A1000 provided in some embodiments of the present invention. The carrier A1000 may be, but is not limited to, a pet carrier. Fig.18 As shown, the vehicle A1000 includes a roof assembly (also referred to as a roof portion) A100 and a containing body A200, wherein the roof assembly A100 is connected to the containing body A200, and the roof assembly A100 is in a fully unfolded state. Fig.19 A top view of the carrier A1000 is shown. Fig. 20 A three-dimensional view showing the roof assembly A100 and the container body A200 of the vehicle A1000 are completely separated. Fig.21 A three-dimensional view is shown in which the roof assembly A100 of the vehicle A1000 is connected to the accommodating body A200, but the roof assembly A100 is in an incompletely unfolded state to partially open the top opening 20 of the accommodating body A200.
[0133] See also Figures 18 to 21 , when the ceiling assembly A100 is installed to the housing body A200 and the ceiling assembly A100 is in a fully unfolded state ( Fig.18 ), it can completely cover the top opening 20 of the accommodating body A200. The roof assembly A100 can also be partially folded to partially open the top opening 20 of the accommodating body A200 while it is connected to the accommodating body A200 ( Fig.21 In addition, the ceiling assembly A100 can be removed from the housing body A200 as needed ( Fig. 20 ).
[0134] See also Fig. 20 and Fig.21 When the roof assembly A100 is in a fully unfolded state, the roof assembly A100 has a bottom frame 131 and a roof 132 supported by the frame 131. Fig.19, the frame 131 is, for example, generally rectangular, and the four sides of the frame 131 correspond to the four sides of the ceiling assembly A100, and the four sides are two opposite first sides 11 and two opposite second sides 12, and the two second sides 12 are located between the two first sides 11. Among them, the two first sides 11 extend in the longitudinal direction, and the two second sides 12 extend in the transverse direction. In some embodiments, the length of the first side 11 extending in the longitudinal direction is greater than the length of the second side 12 extending in the transverse direction, the first side 11 can be called a long side, and the second side 12 can be called a short side. The ceiling 132 may include a shed cloth 1321 and an arched bracket (not shown in the figure) for supporting the shed cloth 1321 into an arched shape. The arched bracket may be U-shaped, and the two ends of the arched bracket correspond to the two first sides 11. The shed cloth 1321 may have a vent. The vent may be covered by a mesh structure (e.g., a mesh fabric).
[0135] In some embodiments, the frame 131 may include two U-shaped frames 102 and two connecting members 101, and the two connecting members 101 are located in the middle of the two first side edges 11 and in the middle of the two U-shaped frames 102. A pivot A121 is provided at both ends of each connecting member 101. Both ends of each U-shaped frame 102 are pivotally connected to the two connecting members 101 through corresponding pivots A121. Thus, any U-shaped frame 102 can pivot upward around the corresponding pivot A121, and the U-shaped frame 102 pivoting upward drives the ceiling 132 to partially fold, thereby opening the top opening 20 of the accommodating body A200. Of course, both U-shaped frames 102 can also be pivoted upward around the corresponding pivot A121 to open the top opening 20.
[0136] In some embodiments, the ceiling 132 has a middle portion 1323 connected between the two connecting members 101 . The middle portion 1323 is supported by, for example, an arch support (not shown) located between the two connecting members 101 to form an intermediate supporting portion.

[0187] Some embodiments of the present invention provide a container body A200, Fig.60 A three-dimensional view of a housing body A200 is shown, which provides a smaller volume. Fig.61 Shows Fig.60 The U5-U5 section view in Figure 1. Fig.62 Another stereoscopic view of the accommodating body A200 is shown, and the accommodating body A200 provides a larger volume.
[0188] The accommodating body A200 may include a box body 201, the box body 201 includes a bottom wall 2011 and a side wall 2012, and the bottom wall 2011 and the side wall 2012 define a top opening A210. At least one telescopic wall A202 is mounted on the side wall 2012 of the box body 201, and the telescopic wall A202 can be telescoped in the height direction H of the box body 201 so as to be able to extend or retract relative to the side wall 2012. It can be understood that when the telescopic wall A202 extends upward in the height direction H, the longer the volume of the accommodating body A200 can be. The accommodating body A200 also includes a locking mechanism A800, which is used to lock the position of the telescopic wall A202 to prevent the telescopic wall A202 from being unexpectedly extended.
[0189] Specifically in this embodiment, a telescopic wall A202 is mounted on the side wall 2012 of the box body 201. The locking mechanism A800, for example, includes a locking member 81, a pivot 82, and a reset member (not shown in the figure).

A through hole 2020 is provided on the telescopic wall A202. A plurality of recesses 2010 are provided on the side wall 2012, and the plurality of recesses 2010 are arranged at intervals along the height direction H. When the telescopic wall A202 is adjusted to a position, the through hole 2020 is opposite to the corresponding recess 2010, and the protruding structure 811 passes through the through hole 2020 and engages with the recess 2010, thereby locking the position of the telescopic wall A202. The reset member acts on the locking member 81 to keep the locking member 81 in the locked position where its protruding structure 811 engages with the recess 2010. The reset member is, for example, a torsion spring, which can be sleeved on the pivot 82, and two spring arms of the torsion spring can respectively abut against the locking member 81 and the telescopic wall A202.
[0190] When the volume of the accommodating body A200 needs to be adjusted, pressure is applied to the other end of the locking member 81, and the locking member 81 rotates around the pivot 82 after receiving the force, and the protruding structure 811 withdraws from the recess 2010, so that the position of the telescopic wall A202 can be adjusted up and down. When the telescopic wall A202 is adjusted to the right position, the locking member 81 can lock the position of the telescopic wall A202 again.
[0191] In the absence of conflict, the accommodating body A200 may be provided with the ceiling assembly A100 described in any of the above embodiments, and the ceiling assembly A100 is used to be coupled to the telescopic wall A202.
