[0078] The following is about Figures 1A to 17EThe detailed description is intended to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the travel device of the present invention. For the purpose of explanation, specific details are set forth to provide an understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that these specific details are not necessary to implement the embodiments of the present invention. The description of specific applications is only intended as a representative example. Various modifications to the embodiments described herein are obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the scope of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown, but is given the widest possible scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein. In addition, it should be noted that the serial numbers of the embodiments, such as first, second, ..., etc., are only used to distinguish these embodiments and do not indicate any preference for these embodiments.

[0079] In the context of the present invention, a travel device comprises a carrier for restraining an animal (e.g., a pet) therein and, optionally, a base for mounting the carrier thereon, the base being mountable in a vehicle (more specifically, on a vehicle seat) to allow the travel device to be stably mounted in the vehicle. The carrier may be generally rectangular when viewed from the top thereof, with a longitudinal axis / longitudinal (in Figures 1A to 17E Indicated by arrow A) and transverse axis / lateral (indicated by arrow A) Figures 1A to 17E (Indicated by arrow B in the figure). Alternatively, the carrier can be configured in shapes other than rectangular, including but not limited to various equilateral or other shapes. In the present invention, the carrier can be exemplarily 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 direction of travel 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 further 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 portion of the housing body of the carrier 100.

[0081] When viewed from the top of the box portion 110, the box portion 110 can 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 this embodiment, the handle 130 is pivotally connected to the opposite long sides of the box portion 110. The box portion 110 can be covered by a seat cover 115. In this embodiment, the roof portion 120 can be a two-piece roof. That is, the roof portion 120 can 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, such as 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 roof portion 120 has a lower periphery 120A that 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 this embodiment, the roof 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 this 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, thereby attaching the roof portion 120 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 connecting reinforcement 125 (also referred to as a connecting assembly), which is disposed on the roof portion 120 and is used to further secure the roof portion 120 to the box portion 110. For example, in this embodiment, the carrier 100 may include six connecting reinforcements 125 (one connecting reinforcement 125 is disposed on each side corresponding to each short side of the box portion 110, and two connecting reinforcements 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 roof portion 120 via its end (i.e., first end) 125A and extends from the roof portion 120 toward the box portion 110. It can be detachably connected to the box portion 110 via an end (i.e., second end) 125B distal to the end 125A. In this embodiment, the connection reinforcement 125 can be securely attached to the roof portion 120 via its end 125A by, for example, but not limited to, sewing, bonding, laminating, etc. The connection reinforcement 125 can be connected to the box portion 110 via its end 125B using various snap fasteners, such as, but not limited to, a mating cap and socket, a mating stud or eyelet and post, etc. In other words, mating snap fasteners or snap fasteners 126 or 116 are provided on the end 125B of the connection reinforcement 125 and the box portion 110 (e.g., the sidewall of the box portion 110), respectively. Thus, when the corresponding and mating snaps 126 on the connection reinforcement 125 and the snaps 116 on the box portion 110 are connected to each other by pressing or snapping, the connection between the six connection reinforcements 125 and the box portion 110 can be improved. That is, in various embodiments of the present invention, the connection between the roof portion 120 and the box portion 110 is improved by at least one connection reinforcement 125 connected between the roof portion 120 and the box portion 110.

[0084] As described, in the present embodiment, the connection reinforcement 125 can be securely attached to the roof portion 120 via its end 125A and can be removably connected to the box portion 110 via its end 125B. However, as an alternative, the end 125A of the connection reinforcement 125 can be removably connected to the roof portion 120 by, for example, various buckles and snaps. In addition, 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 embodiment shown in is different.

[0085] According to the present invention, the connection reinforcement 125 provides an additional connection between the roof portion 120 and the box portion 110. In this way, 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, which is used to accommodate an animal. The carrier 200 has a Figure 1A and Figure 1B The carrier 200 is similar in structure and construction to the illustrated carrier 100. 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 an outer bottom of the box portion 210.

[0087] Vehicle 200 and Figure 1A and Figure 1B The carrier 100 of FIG. 1 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 the present embodiment) connecting reinforcements 225, which are connected to the cover and extend from the lower periphery 220A. The connecting reinforcements 225 extend toward the box portion 210 and are connected to the sidewall outside of the box portion 210 in a manner similar to the connecting reinforcements 125. In the present embodiment, the connecting reinforcements 225 can be integrally formed with the roof portion 220. That is, the six connecting reinforcements 225 in the present 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 the present embodiment, the roof portion 220 can be attached to the box portion 210 only by the connecting reinforcements 225. Alternatively, in addition to the connecting reinforcements 225, the roof portion 220 can also be attached to the box portion 210 by an optional connector at its periphery.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 3A and Figure 3B , schematically shows a perspective view of a carrier 300 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The travel device includes a carrier 300, which is used to accommodate an animal. The carrier 300 has Figure 1A and Figure 1B The carrier 300 has a similar structure and construction to the carrier 100 shown in FIG. 1 , and includes a box portion 310, a roof portion 320 attached to a seat cover 315 and thereby to the box portion 310 via a second connecting member 324 (e.g., a zipper), handles 330 pivotally and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 310, and a bracket assembly 340 connected to the box portion 310. Similarly, the roof portion 320 in this embodiment may include a first (right) cover 321 and a second (left) cover 322, which are detachably connected to each other via a first connecting member 323 (e.g., a zipper), so that the roof portion 320 may be formed into a dome shape, and is detachably connected to the upper periphery 310A of the box portion 310 at its lower periphery 320A via a second connecting member 324 (e.g., a zipper or fastener). It should be noted that Figure 3A and Figure 3B The portion of the seat cover 315 below the upper periphery 310A of the box portion 310 is omitted in order to explain in detail the connection between the connection reinforcement member and the box portion 310 according to this embodiment.

[0090] Vehicle 300 and Figure 1A and Figure 1BThe difference between the vehicle 100 and the embodiment of the present invention is that, in this embodiment, the roof portion 320 can be further secured to the box portion 310 via a plurality of connecting reinforcements 325 in conjunction with corresponding retaining rings 316 disposed on the bracket assembly 340. Specifically, each connecting reinforcement 325 is fixedly or removably connected to the roof portion 320 via its end (i.e., first end) 325A and extends from the roof portion 320. A pair of snaps 326 are provided on the end (i.e., second end) 325B of each connecting reinforcement 325. The snaps 326 include corresponding and mating snaps 326A and 326B. The bracket assembly 340 includes a first frame 341 surrounding the outer periphery of the box portion 310, a second frame 343 disposed on the outer bottom of the box portion 310, and at least one connecting frame 342. The connecting frame 342 is connected to the outside of the box portion 310 and is connected between the first frame 341 and the second frame 343. The first frame 341 and the connecting frame 342 each have a profile corresponding to the profile of the box portion 310, so when connected to the box portion 310, they can support the box portion 310 in a relatively stable and secure manner. The second frame 343 is connected to the outside of the box portion 310, and the second frame 343 allows the carrier 300 to be attached to a base installed in the vehicle through it. Further, a plurality of U-shaped retaining rings 316 are provided on the bracket assembly 340, and the retaining rings 316 are attached to the first frame 341, preferably attached to the position where the connecting frame 342 is connected to the first frame 341, forming an opening for receiving the corresponding connecting reinforcement 325 extending from the roof portion 320. Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, the connecting reinforcement member 325 extending from the roof portion 320 can have its end 325B respectively pass through the opening formed by the corresponding retaining ring 316 and the first frame 341, and then be reversed toward the roof portion 320, thereby allowing the snap button 326B to connect with the snap button 326A in a press or snap-fit ​​manner. In this way, the connection between the roof portion 320 and the box portion 310 can be improved. Alternatively, the retaining ring 316 can also have other shapes and structures besides the U-ring, including but not limited to D-ring, V-ring, O-ring, with or without an opening.

[0091] In this embodiment, four connection reinforcements 325 are symmetrically arranged on the roof portion 320, with two connection reinforcements 325 arranged on each long side, thereby providing an enhanced, stable and uniform connection between the roof portion 320 and the box portion 310, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In alternative embodiments, the number and position of the connection reinforcements may be different depending on the actual design and application of the vehicle. Figure 3A and 3B The embodiments shown are different.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 4, schematically shows a side view of a carrier 400 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The travel device includes a carrier 400, which is used to accommodate an animal. The carrier 400 has Figure 2 Similar in structure and construction to the illustrated carrier 200, carrier 400 includes a box portion 410, a roof portion 420 removably attached to box portion 410, handles 430 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of box portion 410, and a bracket assembly 440 connected to box portion 410. In this embodiment, the first frame 441 and the connecting frame 442 of bracket assembly 440 each have contours corresponding to those of box portion 410, thereby providing a relatively stable and secure support for box portion 410 when connected to box portion 410. A second frame 443 is connected to the exterior of box portion 410, allowing carrier 400 to be attached thereto to a base mounted in a vehicle. Roof portion 420 has a lower perimeter 420A.

[0093] Vehicle 400 and Figure 2 The difference between the carrier 200 and the vehicle 400 is that the roof portion 420, which is mainly composed of an integrated cover, is attached to the box portion 410 only by connecting reinforcements 425. More specifically, the carrier 400 includes four connecting reinforcements 425 symmetrically arranged on the roof portion 420, with two connecting supports arranged on each long side. The connecting reinforcement 425 is fixedly or detachably connected to the roof portion 420 by its end (i.e., the first end) 425A and extends from the roof portion 420. In addition, a plurality of U-shaped retaining rings 416 are provided on the bracket assembly 440, and the retaining rings 416 are attached to the first frame 441, preferably attached to the position where the connecting frame 442 is connected to the first frame 441, forming an opening for receiving the corresponding connecting reinforcement 425 extending from the roof portion 420. As shown Figure 4 As shown, each connecting reinforcement 425 extending from the roof portion 420 can pass through the opening formed by the corresponding retaining ring 416 and the first frame 441, and then be reversed toward the roof portion 420, thereby allowing the matching and corresponding snap fastener pairs 426 disposed at the free ends (i.e., the second ends) of the connecting reinforcement 425 to be connected to each other by pressing or snapping. In this way, the connection between the roof portion 420 and the box portion 410 can be improved.

[0094] See also Figure 5 , schematically shows a side view of a carrier 500 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The travel device includes a carrier 500, which is used to accommodate an animal. The carrier 500 has a Figure 2Similar in structure and construction to the illustrated carrier 200, carrier 500 includes a box portion 510, a roof portion 520 removably attached to box portion 510, handles 530 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of box portion 510, and a bracket assembly 540 connected to box portion 510. In this embodiment, the first frame 541 and connecting frame 542 of bracket assembly 540 each correspond in profile to the box portion 510, providing a relatively stable and secure support for box portion 510 when connected to box portion 510. A second frame 543 is connected to the exterior of box portion 510, allowing carrier 500 to be attached to a vehicle-mounted chassis. Similarly, roof portion 520 is primarily comprised of a one-piece cover and is attached to box portion 510 at its lower perimeter 520A without the use of a zipper as a connecting component.

[0095] Vehicle 500 and Figure 2 The difference between the carrier 200 and the carrier 500 is that, in this embodiment, the carrier 500 includes four connecting reinforcements 525 symmetrically arranged on the roof portion 520, with two connecting reinforcements 525 arranged on each long side. In addition, a plurality of U-shaped retaining rings 516 are provided on the bracket assembly 540, and the retaining rings 516 are attached to the first frame 541, preferably attached to the position where the connecting frame 542 is connected to the first frame 541, forming an opening for receiving the corresponding connecting reinforcement 525 extending from the roof portion 520. In this embodiment, the connecting reinforcement 525 can be integrally formed with the roof portion 520. That is, the four connecting reinforcements 525 in this embodiment form an integral structure with the roof portion 520 and cannot be removed therefrom. As Figure 5 As shown, each connecting reinforcement 525 extending from the roof portion 520 can pass through the opening formed by the corresponding retaining ring 516 and the first frame 541, and then be reversed toward the roof portion 520, thereby allowing the matching and corresponding snap fastener pairs 526 disposed at the free ends of the connecting reinforcement 525 to be connected to each other by pressing or snapping. In this way, the connection between the roof portion 520 and the box portion 510 can be improved.

[0096] See also Figures 6A to 6C , schematically shows a perspective view of a carrier of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The travel device includes a carrier 600, which is used to accommodate an animal. The carrier 600 has Figure 3A and Figure 3BThe carrier 600 has a similar structure and construction to the carrier 300 shown in FIG. The carrier 600 includes a box portion 610, a roof portion 620 attached to the seat cover 615 and thereby to the box portion 310 via a second connecting member 624 (e.g., a zipper), handles 630 pivotally and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 610, and a bracket assembly 640 connected to the box portion 610. Similarly, the roof portion 620 in this embodiment may include a first (right) cover 621 and a second (left) cover 622, which are detachably connected to each other via a first connecting member 623 (e.g., a zipper), thereby forming the roof portion 620 into a dome shape. The roof portion 620 is detachably connected to the upper periphery 610A of the box portion 610 at its lower periphery 620A via a second connecting member 624. Similarly, in this embodiment, the first frame 641 and the connecting frame 642 of the bracket assembly 640 have respective contours corresponding to the contours of the box portion 610, and when connected to the box portion 610, they can support the box portion 610 in a relatively stable and secure manner. The second frame 643 is connected to the outside of the box portion 610, and the second frame 643 allows the carrier 600 to be attached to a base installed in the vehicle.

[0097] Vehicle 600 and Figure 3A and 3B The difference between the carrier 300 and the carrier 600 is that, in this embodiment, the connection reinforcement 625 extending from the roof portion 620 of the carrier 600 can be attached to the box portion 610 without any additional means for connection (e.g., snaps). The first frame 641 of the bracket assembly 640 is formed to have a recess 616 (e.g., a recess 616) at a position toward which the corresponding connection reinforcement 625 extends. Figure 6C ), replacing the U-shaped retaining ring attached to the first frame 641. Each connection reinforcement 625 can be formed to have a rigid hook-shaped end. That is, each connection reinforcement 625 can be fixedly or detachably connected to the roof portion 620 at its end (i.e., the first end) 625A, and its other end (i.e., the second end) 625B can be formed as a rigid hook-shaped end, which is used to be received by the corresponding recess 616 on the first frame 641 of the bracket assembly 640 for engagement. In this way, the connection between the roof portion 620 and the box portion 610 can be improved by engaging the connection reinforcement 625 with the respective recesses 616, without the need for any additional fasteners or connectors, thereby providing a relatively simplified configuration for the carrier 600.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 7 , schematically shows a side view of a carrier 700 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The travel device includes a carrier 700, which is used to accommodate an animal. The carrier 700 has Figure 5 Similar in structure and construction to the illustrated carrier 500, carrier 700 includes a box portion 710, a roof portion 720 removably attached to box portion 710, handles 730 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of box portion 710, and a bracket assembly 740 connected to box portion 710. In this embodiment, the first frame 741 and connecting frame 742 of bracket assembly 740 each have contours corresponding to those of box portion 710, providing a relatively stable and secure support for box portion 710 when connected to box portion 710. A second frame 743 is connected to the exterior of box portion 710, allowing carrier 700 to be attached to a vehicle-mounted chassis. Similarly, roof portion 720 is primarily comprised of a one-piece cover and is attached to box portion 710 at its lower perimeter 720A without the use of a zipper as a connecting component.

[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 devices (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. Figures 6A to 6C Similar to the carrier 600, the first frame 741 of the bracket assembly 740 is formed with recesses (not shown in this figure) at the locations toward which the corresponding connection reinforcements 725 extend. Each connection reinforcement 725 can be formed with a rigid hook-shaped end 725B that can be received and engaged by a corresponding recess on the first frame 741 of the bracket assembly 740, instead of passing through the opening formed by the U-shaped retaining ring attached to the first frame 741. In this way, the connection between the roof portion 720 and the box portion 710 can be improved by the engagement of the connection reinforcements 725 with the respective recesses, without the use of any additional fasteners or connectors, thereby providing a relatively simplified configuration for the carrier 700.

[0100] See also Figures 8A to 8C , schematically shows a vehicle 800 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 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 a seat cover 815 and thereby to the box portion 810 via a second connecting member 824 (e.g., a zipper), handles 830 pivotally 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 via a first connecting member 823 (e.g., a zipper), so that the roof portion 820 can be formed into a dome shape, and is detachably connected to the upper periphery 810A of the box portion 810 at its lower periphery 820A via a second connecting member 824. Similarly, in this embodiment, the first frame 841 and the connecting frame 842 of the bracket assembly 840 each have contours corresponding to the contours of the box portion 810, and when connected to the box portion 810, they can support the box portion 810 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 the vehicle.

[0102] Vehicle 800 and Figures 6A to 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 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 the guide rod (also known as the 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 to move smoothly and be limited in the limiting portion 816C of the guide groove 816. In this embodiment, as Figure 8BAs shown in the enlarged view of FIG, the first receiving portion 816A of the guide slot 816 can be tapered, for example, from right to left (or vice versa). Specifically, the first portion 816A is formed to have an initial (e.g., right) end and a tapered (e.g., left) end. The initial end is sized and shaped to receive the engagement end 825B having the guide rod 826, while the tapered (e.g., left) end is spatially connected to the second (guide) portion 816B. The size and shape of the second (guide) portion 816B correspond to the thickness of the body of the connecting reinforcement 825. This allows only the body of the connecting reinforcement 825 to move into the second portion 816B of the guide slot 816. The engagement end 825B having the guide rod 826 is received by the first (receiving) portion 816A and moves in direction C until it fully enters the second (guide) portion 816B of the guide slot 816. The guide rod 826 is then restrained within the third (limiting) portion 816C and prevented from exiting the guide slot 816 through the second (guide) portion 816B.

[0103] refer to Figure 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 roof portion 820 and extends therefrom via an end portion (i.e., a first end portion 825A). As described, in this embodiment, the first frame 841 of the bracket assembly 840 includes a guide groove 816 consisting 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 direction C shown is to load the engaging end 825B into the right (starting) end of the first part 816A, position the engaging end 825B with the guide rod 826 into the third part 816C, and then move the engaging end 825B slightly toward the left (tapered) end of the first part 816A (i.e., along the Figure 8B C) is in place, each connection reinforcement 825 can be received and positioned in the guide groove 816. When the connection reinforcement 825 is received in place, the engagement end 825B can be limited in the third portion 816C and can be prohibited from moving out of the guide groove 816. Thus, the connection reinforcement 825 is engaged with the first frame 841 of the bracket assembly 840, and thus engaged with the box portion 810, as shown. Figure 8A In this way, the connection between the roof portion 820 and the box portion 810 can be improved by engaging the connection reinforcement members 825 with the respective guide grooves 816 without using any additional fasteners or connectors, thereby providing a relatively simplified configuration for the carrier 800 while achieving a relatively stronger connection compared to the previous embodiment.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 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, which is used to accommodate an animal. The carrier 900 has Figure 3A and Figure 3B The carrier 900 has a similar structure and construction to the carrier 300 shown in FIG. The carrier 900 includes a box portion 910, a roof portion 920 attached to a seat cover 915 and thereby to the box portion 910 via a second connecting member 924 (e.g., a zipper), handles 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 via a first connecting member 923 (e.g., a zipper), thereby forming the roof portion 920 in a dome shape. The roof portion 920 is detachably connected to the upper periphery 910A of the box portion 910 at its lower periphery 920A via a second connecting member 924. Similarly, in this embodiment, the first frame 941 and the connecting frame 942 of the bracket assembly 940 each have contours corresponding to the contours of the box portion 910, and when connected to the box portion 910, they can support the box portion 910 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 the vehicle.

[0105] Vehicle 900 and Figure 3A and Figure 3BThe difference between the carrier 300 and the embodiment of the present invention is that, in this embodiment, the connection between the roof portion 920 and the box portion 910 is achieved by connecting respective connecting straps provided on the roof portion 920 and the support assembly 940. Specifically, the carrier 900 includes four first connecting straps 925 as connecting reinforcements. Each first connecting strap 925 has an end (i.e., the first end of the connecting reinforcement) 925A connected to the roof portion 920, and each first connecting strap 925 has a free end (i.e., the second end of the connecting reinforcement) 925B connected to a connector 926, such as a hook or buckle. The carrier 900 also includes two second connecting straps 917 attached to the support assembly 940. Each second connecting strap 917 has two free ends, each of which is connected to a retaining ring 916, such as a D-ring. The retaining ring 916 is exposed so that each first connecting strap 925 can be connected to the retaining ring 916 via its respective connector 926. That is, the free end of the second connecting strap 917 is detachably connected to the second end of the first connecting strap 925. In this way, by connecting the four first connecting straps 925 to the respective retaining rings 916 on the bracket assembly 940, the connection between the roof portion 920 and the box portion 910 of the carrier 900 can be further improved.

[0106] It is worth noting that the first connecting strip 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 on 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 shown attached to the first frame 341 is replaced. That is, by combining the methods shown in different embodiments of the present invention, the tight connection method between the roof part and the box part of the carrier can be modified.

[0107] See also Figure 10 , schematically shows a side view of a carrier 1000 of a travel device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The travel device includes a carrier 1000, which is used to accommodate an animal. The carrier 1000 has Figure 4The carrier 400 shown is similar in structure and construction. The carrier 1000 includes a box portion 1010, a roof portion 1020 removably attached to the box portion 1010, handles 1030 pivotably and removably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 1010, and a stand assembly 1040 connected with the box portion 1010. In this embodiment, the first frame 1041 and the connecting frame 1042 of the stand assembly 1040 each have a profile that corresponds to a profile of the box portion 1010, respectively, to support the box portion 1010 in a relatively stable and secure manner when connected therewith. The second frame 1043 is connected to an outer face of the box portion 1010, and the second frame 1043 allows the carrier 1000 to be attached to a mount installed in a vehicle therewith. Similarly, the roof portion 1020 can be removably connected to the box portion 1010 by way of the connecting reinforcement 1025 only.

[0108] The carrier 1000 differs from the carrier 400 of Figure 4 in that the carrier 1000 includes four first connecting straps 1025 as connecting reinforcements, each first connecting strap 1025 being connected to the roof portion 1020 by an end portion (i.e., a first end portion) 1025A, and each first connecting strap 1025 being connected at a free end portion (i.e., a second end portion) 1025B thereof with a connector 1026 (e.g., a hook or a clasp). The carrier 1000 also accordingly includes two second connecting straps 1017 attached to the stand assembly 1040, each second connecting strap 1017 having two free ends each connected with a retaining loop 1016. In this embodiment, the connection of the roof portion 1020 of the carrier 1000 with the box portion 1010 can be further improved in a similar manner as the carrier 900, i.e., by connecting the four first connecting straps 1025 to respective retaining loops 1016 on the stand assembly 1040.

[0109] Referring to 11A to 11D which is a perspective view of a stand assembly according to various embodiments of the present application, configured for use in a carrier as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 showing a first frame integrated with connecting straps and retaining loops.

The connecting frame 1142A is connected to the outside of the box portion (not shown) and is connected between the first frame 1141A and the second frame 1143A. The respective contours of the first frame 1141A and the connecting frame 1142A correspond to the contours of the box portion, so that when connected to the box portion, they can support the box portion in a relatively stable and secure manner. The second frame 1143A is connected to the outside of the box portion, and the second frame 1143A allows a carrier (for example, but not limited to Figure 9 The vehicle 900 shown, Figure 10 1000 is attached to a base mounted in a vehicle. In this embodiment, each of the two second connecting straps 1117A is attached to the surface of the outer bottom of the respective connecting frame 1142A facing the box portion of the vehicle by, for example, two fasteners 1145A. Each second connecting strap 1117A extends along the connecting frame 1142A, with its two free ends extending beyond the bracket assembly 1140A and exposed at the position where the connecting frame 1142A is connected to the first frame 1141A. The free ends of the second connecting straps pass between the bracket assembly and the box portion. More specifically, the two free ends of each second connecting strap 1117A pass between the box portion and the first frame 1141A. Each second connecting strap 1117A includes two retaining rings 1116A connected to the two free ends to allow the corresponding first connecting strap extending from the roof portion to be connected thereto.

[0111] refer to Figure 11B , the bracket assembly 1140B shown has a similar structure and construction to the bracket assembly 1140A, including a first frame 1141B, a second frame 1143B and at least one (two in this embodiment) connecting frame 1142B. When connected to the box portion, the bracket assembly 1140B can support the box portion in a relatively stable and strong manner and allow a carrier (such as but not limited to) Figure 9 The vehicle 900 shown, Figure 10The carrier 1000 shown is attached to a base installed in the vehicle. In this embodiment, the connecting frame 1142B is hollow, defining an internal space (also referred to as a hollow channel) that allows the respective second connecting straps 1117B to pass through. Each second connecting strap 1117B extends along the connecting frame 1142B in the internal space of the connecting frame 1142B (i.e., extends along the hollow channel) and is attached to the inner surface of the respective connecting frame 1142B by, for example, two fasteners 1145B. Each second connecting strap 1117B extends along the connecting frame 1142B, with its two free ends extending beyond the bracket assembly 1140B and exposed at the position where the connecting frame 1142B is connected to the first frame 1141B (i.e., exposed from the end of the hollow channel). Similarly, each second connecting strap 1117B includes two retaining rings 1116B connected at the two free ends to allow the corresponding first connecting strap extending from the roof portion to be connected thereto.

[0112] refer to Figure 11C and 11D , the bracket assembly 1140C shown has a similar structure and construction to the bracket assemblies 1140A and 1140B, including a first frame 1141C, a second frame 1143C and at least one (two in this embodiment) connecting frame 1142C. When connected to the box portion, the bracket assembly 1140C can support the box portion in a relatively stable and strong manner and allow a carrier (such as but not limited to Figure 9 The carrier 900 shown, as Figure 10 The carrier 1000 is shown attached to a base mounted in a vehicle.

[0113] In this embodiment, each second connecting strap 1117C can be formed to have a receiving slot including a first portion 1118C and a second portion 1119C, the receiving slot being open to receive a guide rod (also known as a second guide rod), such as guide rod 1118D. The second connecting strap 1117C includes the guide rod 1118D embedded therein, for example, by pressing the guide rod 1118D through the second portion 1119C and loading it into the first portion 1118C of the second connecting strap 1117C. In addition, each connecting frame 1142C can be formed to have a guide slot (also known as a second guide slot) including a first (guide) portion 1147C and a second (receiving) portion 1148C. Preferably, the size and shape of the first (guide) portion 1147C correspond to the guide rod 1118D, so that the guide rod 1118D can be accommodated therein and guided therein. In this embodiment, the second connecting straps 1117C can be attached to the corresponding connecting frame 1142C by being partially embedded in the corresponding connecting frame 1142C, with the guide rod 1118D extending along the first portion 1147C of the connecting frame 1142C and positioned within the first portion 1147C. Optionally, the second connecting straps 1117C can be further secured to the corresponding connecting frame 1142C using, for example, two additional fasteners 1145C. Each second connecting strap 1117C extends along the connecting frame 1142C, with its two free ends extending beyond the bracket assembly 1140C and emerging at the location where the connecting frame 1142C is connected to the first frame 1141C. Similarly, each second connecting strap 1117C includes two retaining rings (not shown) connected to its two free ends to allow the corresponding first connecting strap extending from the ceiling portion to be connected thereto.

[0114] In some embodiments, the guide rod 1118D can be mounted in the first portion 1118C of the second connecting belt 1117C, and one end of the first portion 1118C having the guide rod 1118D is inserted into the first portion 1147C from an opening at one end of the first portion 1147C of the connecting frame 1142C, and then the guide rod 1118D and the first portion 1118C slide along the first portion 1147C to form a U-shape consistent with the connecting frame 1142C.

[0115] See also Figure 12, schematically illustrates a side view of a travel device 1200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Carrier 1200 is used to accommodate an animal, and its structure and configuration are similar to those of the aforementioned embodiments. Carrier 1200 includes a case portion 1210, a roof portion 1220 attached to a seat cover 1215 and, in turn, to case portion 1210 via a second connecting member 1224 (e.g., a zipper), handles 1230 pivotally and detachably connected to opposite sides of case portion 1210, and a bracket assembly 1240 connected to case portion 1210. Similarly, the roof portion 1220 in this embodiment may include a first (right) cover portion 1221 and a second (left) cover portion 1222. The first (right) cover portion 1221 and the second (left) cover portion 1222 are detachably connected to each other via a first connecting member 1223 (e.g., a zipper), thereby forming the roof portion 1220 into a dome shape. The roof portion 1220 is detachably connected to the upper periphery 1210A of the case portion 1210 at its lower periphery 1220A via a second connecting member 1224. In this embodiment, the handle 1230 is pivotally and detachably connected to the opposite side of the case portion 1210 via a pivot 1231. The carrier 1200 also includes a guide member 1235 detachably connected to the carrier 1200. The guide member 1235 is located at a position corresponding to the pivot 1231 and is used to secure a safety belt 1260 passing therethrough, thereby providing additional support for the carrier 1200. Alternatively, the guide member 1235 may be attached to the handle 1230 or the box portion 1210 at a predetermined position. With the support of the safety belt, the carrier 1200 can be supported relatively stably and safely when installed in a vehicle.

[0116] 13A to 13E Schematically, different views of a travel device 13 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention are shown. Figure 13A and Figure 13B As shown, the travel device 13 includes a carrier 1300 and a base 1390. The carrier 1300 can be constructed in a similar manner to the previous embodiments, including a case portion 1310, and handles 1330 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of the case portion 1310.

[0117] In this embodiment, the carrier 1300 further includes a pair of connecting rods 1314 connected to the outer bottom surface of the box portion 1310 (i.e., the outer bottom of the carrier 1300). The connecting rods 1314 allow the carrier 1300 to be mounted to a base 1390, which can be secured to a vehicle seat, for example. In this embodiment, the box portion 1310 includes a pair of recessed portions 1312 formed on the outer bottom portion 1311, each recessed portion 1312 being configured to receive the pair of connecting rods 1314 therein, and an activation portion (or actuation portion) 1313 located in the center of the outer bottom portion 1311. Preferably, the connecting rods 1314 are U-shaped and are pivotally connected to the box portion 1310 at their respective ends within their respective recessed portions 1312.

[0118] See now Figure 13B and Figure 13C The base 1390 includes a pair of connecting recesses 1392, which correspond to the pair of connecting rods 1314 of the carrier 1300. On the inner surface of each connecting recess 1392, the base 1390 has a pair of exposed connecting parts 1394. Alternatively, only one connecting part 1394 may be provided in each connecting recess 1392. The connecting part 1394 may be, for example, a hook or a claw, and the connecting part 1394 has an opening portion to allow the connecting rod 1314 to pass through and be installed therein. Each connecting recess 1392 may have an inclined surface for guiding its respective connecting rod 1314. On the top surface 1391, that is, the surface that contacts the outer bottom 1311 of the box portion 1310, the base 1390 includes an actuating portion 1393 provided in the center, and the actuating portion 1393 corresponds to the actuating portion 1313 in the center of the outer bottom 1311. Preferably, the actuating portion 1313 in the center of the outer bottom 1311 of the carrier 1300 may be recessed to cover the trigger mechanism for the connecting rod 1314 , and the actuating portion 1393 in the center of the top surface 1391 of the base 1390 may be a column.

[0119] Please refer to Figure 13D and Figure 13E , which respectively illustrate the separation and connection of the carrier 1300 and the base 1390 in this embodiment. As described, the carrier 1300 can be detachably connected to the base 1390 by a pair of connecting rods 1314 connected to the outer bottom surface of the box portion 1310. The connecting rods 1314 can be received in respective recesses 1312 on the outer bottom 1311 of the carrier 1300, as shown in FIG. Figure 13DWhen the carrier 1300 is positioned on the base 1390 for connection, the trigger mechanism inside the actuating portion 1313 of the carrier can be pressed and triggered by the actuating portion 1393, causing the two connecting rods 1314 to pivot out of their respective recesses 1312. The connecting rods 1314 can be guided to move along the inclined surface of the corresponding connecting recess 1392, pass through the opening portion and enter the respective connecting parts 1394, and as shown in FIG. Figure 13E Thus, by engaging the connecting rod 1314 with the connecting member 1394 , the carrier 1300 can be stably attached to the base 1390 .

[0120] See also Figure 14A and Figure 14B , schematically illustrating different views of a travel device 14 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Travel device 14 includes a carrier 1400 and a base 1490. Carrier 1400 can be constructed in a manner similar to the previous embodiments, including a case portion 1410, handles 1430 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of case portion 1410, and a stand assembly 1440 connected to case portion 1410. In this embodiment, stand assembly 1440 includes a first frame 1441, a second frame 1443 connected to the outer bottom of case portion 1410, and a connecting frame 1442 connected between first and second frames 1441, 1443, and connected to case portion 1410. Similarly, the first frame 1441 and connecting frame 1442 of stand assembly 1440 each have a profile corresponding to that of case portion 1410, and when connected to case portion 1410, they serve to support case portion 1410 in a relatively stable and secure manner. The second frame 1443 is connected to the outside of the box portion 1410 to allow the carrier 1400 to be attached to the base 1490 therethrough.

[0121] In this embodiment, the base 1490 includes a plurality of connection recesses 1492 for receiving and connecting to the second frame 1443 of the carrier 1400. More specifically, the base 1490 may include a pair of connection recesses 1492 corresponding to each of the two long sides of the second frame 1443 of the carrier 1400 (i.e., one connection recess 1492 for each long side), or may include a pair of connection recesses 1492 corresponding to each of the two long sides of the second frame 1443 of the carrier 1400 (i.e., one connection recess 1492 for each long side). On the inner surface of each connection recess 1492, the base 1490 includes two externally exposed connection members 1494, one pair of connection members 1494 corresponding to one of the two long sides of the second frame 1443. The connection members 1494 may be hooks or claws, etc., and have openings to allow the two long sides of the second frame 1443 to pass through the openings and be loaded therein. A pair of connecting posts 1444 are provided on each of the two long sides of the second frame 1443. The connecting posts 1444 can be extended from and retracted into the second frame 1443 by a trigger mechanism disposed within the second frame 1443. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the long sides of the second frame 1443 are loaded into the connecting members 1494 through the opening, the connecting posts 1444 can be extended from the second frame 1443 to engage with the corresponding connecting members 1494, thereby stably attaching the carrier 1400 to the base 1490.

[0122] See also Figure 15A and Figure 15B , schematically illustrating different views of a travel device 15 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Travel device 15 includes a carrier 1500 and a base 1590. Carrier 1500 can be constructed in a manner similar to the previous embodiments, including a case portion 1510, handles 1530 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of case portion 1510, and a stand assembly 1540 connected to case portion 1510. In this embodiment, stand assembly 1540 includes a first frame 1541, a second frame 1543 connected to the outer bottom of case portion 1510, and a connecting frame 1542 connected between first and second frames 1541, 1543 and connected to case portion 1510. Similarly, the first frame 1541 and connecting frame 1542 of stand assembly 1540 each have a profile corresponding to that of case portion 1510, and when connected to case portion 1510, they provide a relatively stable and secure support for case portion 1510. The second frame 1543 is connected to the outside of the box portion 1510, thereby allowing the carrier 1500 to be attached to the base 1590 therethrough.

[0123] In this embodiment, base 1590 has a similar structure and construction to base 1490. Base 1590 includes a connecting recess 1592 for accommodating the two long sides of second frame 1543, and a connecting member 1594 exposed on the inner surface of connecting recess 1592. Similarly, connecting member 1594 may be a hook or claw, etc., and has a base portion and an opening portion. The base portion is fixed to the inner side of the respective connecting recess 1592, and the opening portion allows the two long sides of second frame 1543 to pass through and be loaded therein. In this embodiment, each long side of second frame 1543 may include a pair of retaining rings 1544, located at positions corresponding to the respective connecting member 1594. Preferably, the size and shape of the connecting member 1594 and its opening allow the second frame 1543 to be loaded therein and moved in the longitudinal direction A. When the stop ring 1544 is "snapped" by the connecting member 1594 and thereby engaged with the connecting member 1594, the second frame 1543 stops moving and is secured therein, allowing the carrier 1500 to be stably attached to the base 1590. More specifically, to engage the second frame 1543, the two long sides of the second frame 1543 are loaded into the corresponding connecting recesses 1592, the second frame 1543 is moved in direction B toward the base of the connecting member 1594, and then in direction A, causing the stop ring 1544 to move against the connecting member 1594 and be locked in place. The carrier 1500 can be relatively securely attached to the base 1590 via the stop ring 1544 and the connecting member 1594.

[0124] See also 16A to 16E , schematically illustrating different views of a travel device 16 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Travel device 16 includes a carrier 1600 and a base 1690. Carrier 1600 can be constructed in a manner similar to the previously described embodiments, including a case portion 1610, handles 1630 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of case portion 1610, and a stand assembly 1640 connected to case portion 1610. In this embodiment, stand assembly 1640 includes a first frame 1641, a second frame 1643 connected to the outer bottom of case portion 1610, and a connecting frame 1642 connected between first and second frames 1641, 1643, and connected to case portion 1610. Similarly, the first frame 1641 and connecting frame 1642 of stand assembly 1640 each have a profile corresponding to that of case portion 1610, and when connected to case portion 1610, they provide a relatively stable and secure support for case portion 1610. The second frame 1643 is connected to the outside of the box portion 1610, thereby allowing the carrier 1600 to be attached to the base 1690 therethrough.

[0125] like Figure 16B and 16CAs shown, in this embodiment, the base 1690 includes two guide slots 1692 extending parallel to the longitudinal direction A of the carrier 1600. The guide slots 1692 are configured to receive a portion of the second frame 1643. On the inner surfaces of the guide slots 1692, the base 1690 includes connecting members 1694 that can be triggered to extend and retract from the guide slots 1692. The connecting members 1694 can be hooks or claws. In this embodiment, each long side of the second frame 1643 can include a pair of guide members 1644, located outside of positions corresponding to the respective connecting members 1694. Preferably, the guide members 1644 can be wedge-shaped blocks, and the contours of the guide slots 1692 can correspond to the contours of the guide members 1644, so that the guide members 1644 can be accommodated therein and move in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction A of the carrier 1600.

[0126] See Figure 16B 、 Figure 16D and Figure 16E When the carrier 1600 needs to be attached to the base 1690, the carrier 1600 can be pushed toward the base 1690 along its longitudinal direction A. When the carrier 1600 moves in this direction, the long side of the second frame 1643 and the guide member 1644 are guided and moved in the guide groove 1692. The connecting part 1694 can initially be retracted from the guide groove 1692, so that the long side of the second frame 1643 and the guide member 1644 can move smoothly in the guide groove 1692. When the guide member 1644 moves to touch the actuator 1693 arranged at one end of the guide groove 1692, the guide member 1644 can trigger the connecting part 1694 to extend from the guide groove 1692 (as shown in FIG. Figure 16E ). In this way, the long sides of the second frame 1643 can be “caught” in place by the connecting members 1694 , so that the carrier 1600 can be stably attached to the base 1690 .

[0127] Please refer to 17A to 17E , schematically shows different views of a travel device 17 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 17A and Figure 17B As shown, the travel device 17 includes a carrier 1700 and a base 1790. The carrier 1700 can be constructed in a similar manner to the previous embodiments, including a case portion 1710, and handles 1730 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of the case portion 1710.

[0128] like 17B to 17DAs shown, the base 1790 in this embodiment can be designed as a drawer-type structure. More specifically, the base 1790 is primarily composed of a transverse sidewall 1790A and two opposing longitudinal sidewalls 1790B and 1790D, defining an interior space 1792 for accommodating the carrier 1700 and leaving an opening 1790C on one side for loading the carrier 1700 therein. At the inner bottom of the base 1790 (i.e., the bottom facing the carrier 1700), the base 1790 is provided with at least one (preferably four in this embodiment) connecting member 1795. The connecting member 1795 can be extended and retracted through respective openings 1794 formed in the bottom of the base 1790. Preferably, the extension and retraction of the connecting member 1795 can be triggered by an actuator 1793 disposed on the inner side of the transverse sidewall 1790A.

[0129] See also Figure 17E , when the carrier 1700 needs to be attached to the base 1790, the carrier 1700 can be pushed toward the base 1790 in its longitudinal direction. That is, the carrier 1700 can be pushed toward the base 1790 along the direction D. The carrier 1700 can move in this direction in the internal space 1792 defined by the transverse side wall 1790A, the longitudinal side wall 1790B and the longitudinal side wall 1790D. The connecting part 1795 can be initially retracted from the bottom of the base 1790 so that the carrier 1700 can move smoothly in the internal space 1792. When the carrier 1700 is moved into position so that the actuator 1793 provided on the inner side of the transverse side wall 1790 is contacted and pressed by the box portion 1710 of the carrier 1700, the connecting part 1795 can be triggered to extend from the bottom of the base 1790 through the respective openings 1794 (as shown in FIG. Figure 17D (as shown). Connecting member 1795 extending from opening 1794 can be snapped into place with connecting recess 1718 formed on outer bottom 1710A of case portion 1710, allowing carrier 1700 to be stably attached to base 1790. In this embodiment, connecting recess 1718 formed on outer bottom 1710A of base 1790 can be covered by an additional reinforcing plate (not shown) made of metal or a metallic material to prevent damage to connecting recess 1718 due to repeated engagement and disengagement of connecting member 1795. This can extend the service life of base 1790.

[0130] In the present invention, attachment and detachment of the carrier from the base are achieved by triggering an attachment mechanism, which may be configured, for example but not limited to, on the carrier. The attachment mechanism according to the present invention may be configured, for example but not limited to, a connecting rod and a connecting recess with a connecting component, a connecting column and a connecting component, a retaining ring on a bracket assembly and a connecting recess with a connecting component, a guide member and a guide groove with a connecting component, or a connecting recess and a connecting component. Alternatively, the attachment mechanism may employ configurations other than those described above.

[0131] For ease of understanding, Figures 18 to 62 The arrow L indicates the longitudinal direction, and the arrow T indicates the transverse direction. 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 scope of protection of the present invention.

[0132] Figure 18 The following schematically shows a perspective 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. Figure 18 As shown, the vehicle A1000 includes a roof assembly (also referred to as a roof portion) A100 and a accommodating body A200, wherein the roof assembly A100 is connected to the accommodating body A200, and the roof assembly A100 is in a fully unfolded state. Figure 19 A top view of the carrier A1000 is shown. Figure 20 A three-dimensional view is shown in which the roof assembly A100 and the accommodating body A200 of the vehicle A1000 are completely separated. Figure 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 roof assembly A100 is installed to the housing body A200 and the roof assembly A100 is in a fully expanded state ( Figure 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 ( Figure 21 In addition, the roof assembly A100 can be removed from the housing body A200 as needed ( Figure 20 ).

[0134] See also Figure 20 and Figure 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. Figure 19The frame 131 is, for example, generally rectangular, and the four sides of the frame 131 correspond to the four side edges of the ceiling assembly A100. The four sides are two opposite first side edges 11 and two opposite second side edges 12, and the two second side edges 12 are located between the two first side edges 11. The two first side edges 11 extend longitudinally, and the two second side edges 12 extend transversely. In some embodiments, the length of the first side edge 11 extending longitudinally is greater than the length of the second side edge 12 extending transversely. The first side edge 11 can be referred to as a long side, and the second side edge 12 can be referred to as 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, with both ends of the arched bracket corresponding to the two first side edges 11. The shed cloth 1321 may have ventilation openings. The ventilation openings 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. The two ends of each U-shaped frame 102 are pivotally connected to the two connecting members 101 through the corresponding pivot A121. Thus, any U-shaped frame 102 can pivot upward around the corresponding pivot A121, and the upwardly pivoted U-shaped frame 102 drives the roof 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 connectors 101 . The middle portion 1323 is supported by, for example, an arched support (not shown) located between the two connectors 101 to form a middle support portion.

[0137] See also Figure 20 and Figure 21The container body A200, for example, is a box-shaped structure that defines a storage space 212 for accommodating a pet. The storage space 212 has a top opening 20 through which the pet can enter the storage space 212. In some embodiments, the container body A200 may include a foam box body (also referred to as a box portion, not shown), a support assembly (not shown) that fits over the exterior of the box body, and a seat fabric 202. The support assembly serves to enhance the structural strength of the box body and may be a metal frame-like structure. The seat fabric 202, for example, wraps around the exterior of the box body and support assembly, giving the container body A200 a clean appearance. Of course, the container body A200 may also have other embodiments and is not limited to the above examples. For example, in some embodiments, the box body may be made of plastic, in which case the support assembly may be omitted, and the seat fabric 202 may be directly wrapped around the box body. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the box body may be made of plastic, in which case the support assembly and seat fabric 202 may be omitted.

[0138] See also Figure 20 The shape of the container body A200 is approximately a rectangular parallelepiped, which includes two opposite first side surfaces 21 and two opposite second side surfaces 22, and the two second side surfaces 22 are located between the two first side surfaces 21. In this embodiment, the first side surface 21 extends longitudinally, and the second side surface 22 extends transversely. In some embodiments, the length of the first side surface 21 extending longitudinally is greater than the length of the second side surface 22 extending transversely. The first side surface 21 can be called a long side, and the second side surface 22 can be called a short side. Of course, the structure of the container body A200 is not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0139] See also Figure 18 and Figure 19 When the ceiling assembly A100 is in a fully expanded state, the bottom of the ceiling assembly A100 can cover the top of the accommodating body A200, the first side 11 of the ceiling assembly A100 corresponds to the first side 21 of the accommodating body A200, and the second side 12 of the ceiling assembly A100 corresponds to the second side 22 of the accommodating body A200.

[0140] See also Figure 18 and Figure 20The ceiling assembly A100 and the housing body A200 are detachably connected by a plurality of connection assemblies A300. The connection assemblies A300 connecting between the ceiling assembly A100 and the housing body A200 can also be referred to as connection reinforcements. Some of the connection assemblies A300 are connected between the two first side edges 11 of the ceiling assembly A100 and the two first side surfaces 21 of the housing body A200, and some of the connection assemblies A300 are connected between the two second side edges 12 of the ceiling assembly A100 and the two second side surfaces 22 of the housing body A200.

[0155] Figures 33 to 36 1 shows three-dimensional views of a vehicle A1000 according to some embodiments of the present invention, wherein: Figure 34 and Figure 35 The clip 52 is in the storage position, Figure 36 The clip 52 is in the use position.

[0156] See also Figure 33 The shape of the carrier A1000 is approximately a rectangular parallelepiped. Of course, the shape of the carrier A1000 is not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped. The carrier A1000 includes a bottom support structure 501 and a accommodating portion 502 located above the bottom support structure 501. The accommodating portion 502 includes a top surface and multiple side surfaces. The multiple side surfaces include, for example, two first side surfaces 5a and two second side surfaces 5b. The two second side surfaces 5b are located between the two first side surfaces 5a. Each first side surface 5a extends longitudinally, and each second side surface 5b extends transversely. In some embodiments, the length of the first side surface 5a extending in the longitudinal direction is greater than the length of the second side surface 5b extending in the transverse direction. The accommodating portion 502 and the bottom support structure 501 define a accommodating space 50, which is used, for example, to place a pet. The bottom support structure 501 can be made of, for example, a hard material to support the accommodating portion 502. The accommodating portion 502 can include a piece of fabric or other materials that surrounds the accommodating space 50. A ventilation opening 503 may be provided on the top surface and / or side surfaces of the accommodating portion 502 , and the ventilation opening 503 may be covered by a mesh structure (eg, mesh fabric).

[0157] See also Figure 34 and Figure 35The bottom surface of the bottom support structure 501 is formed with a recess A510, and two rods 51 are installed in the recess A510 and extend longitudinally in parallel with each other. In some embodiments, the two rods 51 are symmetrically arranged, for example, with respect to the longitudinal center plane (not shown in the drawings) of the carrier A1000. One of the rods 51 is installed with two clamping members 52, each of which has a clamping portion 521 protruding outward. The carrier A1000 can be placed on a clamping seat (not shown in the drawings) of a trolley, for example, and connected through the clamping portion 521 of each clamping member 52 and a locking member (e.g., a clamping hook, not shown in the drawings) of the clamping seat. In some embodiments, a locking hole can be provided on the clamping portion 521 for cooperation with the clamping hook.

[0158] Each clamping member 52 is rotatably arranged on the rod 51, so that the clamping member 52 can be rotated to a storage position or a use position. See Figure 36 When the clamping member 52 is in the use position, the clamping portion 521 of the clamping member 52 is rotated to a position extending downward to facilitate connection with the locking member of the clamping seat. In some embodiments, when the clamping member 52 is in the use position, the clamping portion 521 protrudes downward, for example, with respect to the bottom surface of the carrier A1000. See Figure 34 and Figure 35 When the clamping member 52 is in the storage position, the clamping portion 521 is rotated to a horizontal position without extending downward, so that the clamping portion 521 can be protected from impact from objects below the carrier A1000 when not in use.

[0159] The clamping member 52 is normally kept in the storage position. The carrier A1000 can also be provided with an operating member 53, which can be operatively connected with each clamping member 52. The operating member 53 is installed on the bottom support structure 501, for example. When the operating member 53 is driven by a driving force, the operating member 53 drives the clamping member 52 to rotate in the direction R to the use position. In some embodiments not shown, the operating member 53 is connected with each clamping member 52 through a connecting member such as a steel wire 512. A restoring member (e.g., a torsional spring) can also be provided between the clamping member 52 and the rod 51 to drive the clamping member 52 to rotate to the storage position and keep the clamping member 52 in the storage position.

[0160] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the number of rods 51 is not limited to two as described above, but can be one or more than two as needed. In addition, the direction of extension of each rod 51 is not limited to longitudinal extension, but in other embodiments each rod 51 can extend, for example, in the transverse direction. Furthermore, the number of clamping members 52 on each rod 51 is not limited to two as described above, but can be one or more than two as needed.

[0161] For example, in Figure 37In the illustrated variant embodiment, a longitudinally extending rod 51 is disposed in recess A510 and is located on one side of a longitudinal center plane (not shown) of vehicle A1000. Two engaging members 52 are disposed on rod 51, and an operating member 53 is operably connected to the two engaging members 52.

In some embodiments, the longitudinal length of the first side surfaces 21 is greater than the transverse length of the second side surfaces 22.

[0184] See also Figures 57 to 58 When the ceiling assembly A100 is in use, the bottom of the ceiling assembly A100 can cover the top of the accommodating body A200, the first side 1301 of the ceiling assembly A100 corresponds to the first side 21 of the accommodating body A200, and the second side 1302 of the ceiling assembly A100 corresponds to the second side 22 of the accommodating body A200. The ceiling assembly A100 and the accommodating body A200 are detachably connected via a plurality of connecting assemblies A700. More specifically, at least one connecting assembly A700 is connected between each first side 1301 of the ceiling assembly A100 and each first side 21 of the accommodating body A200, and at least one connecting assembly A700 is connected between each second side 1302 of the ceiling assembly A100 and each second side 22 of the accommodating body A200. Although one connection assembly A700 is provided between each pair of first side edges 1301 and first side surface 21, and one connection assembly A700 is provided between each pair of second side edges 1302 and second side surface 22 in this embodiment, in other embodiments, the number of connection assemblies A700 may be increased as needed. Unless there is a conflict, the location of the connection assembly A700 may refer to the location of the connection assembly A300 described above.

[0185] This embodiment shows an exemplary implementation of a connection assembly A700. Connection assembly A700 includes an extension fixture (also referred to as a first connector) 71 and a receiving connector (also referred to as a second connector) 72. One of the extension fixture 71 and the receiving connector 72 is connected to the ceiling assembly A100, while the other is connected to the accommodating body A200. The receiving connector 72 has a receiving cavity A720 for receiving the extension fixture 71. Connection assembly A700 forms a plug-in fixing point between the ceiling assembly A100 and the accommodating body A200.

[0186] In some embodiments, the ceiling assembly A100 may include a grid-type frame, and the ceiling assembly A100 covers the top opening 20 of the accommodating body A200 through the grid-type frame.

[0187] Some embodiments of the present invention provide a container body A200, Figure 60 A perspective view of the accommodating body A200 is shown, which provides a smaller volume. Figure 61 Shown Figure 60 The U5-U5 section view in Figure 1. Figure 62 Another stereoscopic view of the accommodating body A200 is shown, which provides a larger volume.

[0188] The container body A200 may include a housing 201, which includes a bottom wall 2011 and side walls 2012. The bottom wall 2011 and the side walls 2012 define a top opening A210. At least one telescopic wall A202 is mounted on the side walls 2012 of the housing 201. The telescopic wall A202 is telescopic in the height direction H of the housing 201, so as to be able to extend or retract relative to the side walls 2012. It will be understood that the longer the telescopic wall A202 extends upward in the height direction H, the larger the volume of the container body A200 can be. The container body A200 also includes a locking mechanism A800 for locking the position of the telescopic wall A202 to prevent it from undesirably extending or retracting.

[0189] Specifically, in this embodiment, a telescopic wall A202 is mounted on the side wall 2012 of the housing 201. The locking mechanism A800, for example, includes a locking member 81, a pivot 82, and a reset member (not shown). The middle portion of the locking member 81 is pivotally connected to the telescopic wall A202 via the pivot 82, and one end of the locking member 81 is provided with a protrusion 811. The telescopic wall A202 is provided with a through hole 2020. The side wall 2012 is provided with a plurality of recesses 2010, spaced apart along the height direction H. When the telescopic wall A202 is adjusted into position, the through holes 2020 face the corresponding recesses 2010, and the protrusions 811 pass through the through holes 2020 and engage with the recesses 2010, thereby locking the telescopic wall A202 in position. The reset member acts on the locking member 81, maintaining the locking member 81 in the locked position, where the protrusions 811 engage the recesses 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 container body A200 needs to be adjusted, pressure is applied to the other end of the locking member 81. The locking member 81, under the force, rotates about the pivot 82. The protruding structure 811 exits the recess 2010, allowing the position of the telescopic wall A202 to be adjusted up and down. Once the telescopic wall A202 is adjusted into position, the locking member 81 can be used to lock the telescopic wall A202 in place again.

[0191] In the absence of conflict, the accommodating body A200 can be provided with the ceiling assembly A100 described in any of the above embodiments, and the ceiling assembly A100 is used to be coupled with the telescopic wall A202.

[0192] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For example, in the absence of conflict, Figures 1A to 17E The technical features of the vehicle 100 shown in FIG. Figures 18 to 62 The technical features of the carrier A1000 shown in FIG. 1000 can be combined in any manner.
