Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a foldable pet hammock. [Background Technology]

[0002] Pet hammocks provide a comfortable sleeping environment for pets and are typically attached to window glass. Pets can relax in a comfortable position in the hammock, enjoying the sunshine and the view outside the window. Therefore, pet hammocks are increasingly popular among pet owners.

[0003] Currently, most pet hammocks on the market have a connector at one end of the frame, which is fixed to a wall or window. The frame is hinged to the connector, allowing it to fold relative to it. However, the frame in this design typically consists of a single layer of mesh fabric over a support tube. This single layer is merely a platform without any surrounding enclosure, not a proper pet bed. Therefore, the actual comfort of such hammocks for pets is very limited. Furthermore, the foldable structure of these hammocks is unsuitable for a sufficiently thick enclosure around the single layer of mesh fabric. Otherwise, when the frame folds, the enclosure will press against the connector, causing the frame to tilt and occupy a large space, thus affecting the opening and closing of curtains. Additionally, the enclosure will be excessively compressed, affecting its softness and reducing fatigue.

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. (CN220044512U) discloses a pet hammock, which includes a support plate. Suction cups are mounted on the back of the support plate to attach it to window glass. A connecting rod is hinged to the lower end of the support plate, and the other end of the connecting rod is vertically fixed to a support frame. Because the connecting rod and support frame form an L-shape, a relatively wide space exists between the support frame and support plate when folded. The pet cushion is placed within this space, resulting in a more vertical position for both the support frame and the pet cushion, preventing excessive compression of the pet cushion. However, this technical solution still has the following problems: In the folded state, the support plate remains between the pet cushion and the glass, and since the support plate has a certain thickness, it still occupies a considerable amount of space when folded. Furthermore, the structure is relatively complex, leading to higher production costs.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model was created based on the above-mentioned shortcomings. [Utility Model Content]

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a foldable pet hammock with a simple structure, small space occupation after folding, and low production cost.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A foldable pet hammock includes at least two support bases, each of which has a suction cup that can be attached to a vertical surface. Each support base has an upper end and a lower end along the vertical direction. A support component that can rotate relative to the support base and is used to support a pet is provided on the upper end of each support base. The support component includes a support frame that is rotatably connected to the support base. The support frame has a soft pad and a surrounding ring that protrudes to one side around the soft pad. When the support base is attached to the vertical surface, the positions where the support component can stay include an unfolded position that can support the pet and a folded position that can stay after rotating upward relative to the support base.

[0009] When the support component is in the folded position, the ring is fitted onto the vertical surface.

[0010] Each of the aforementioned support bases is elongated and has a front side and a back side located opposite the front side. The suction cup is connected to the back side. When the support assembly is in the folded position, the surrounding ring is in a non-contact state with the front side of the support base.

[0011] Each of the aforementioned support bases has a channel at its upper end that allows the support frame to move within it. The channel has a vertical sidewall and a horizontal sidewall. When the support assembly is in the unfolded position, the horizontal sidewall abuts against the support frame and limits the support frame. When the support assembly is in the folded position, the vertical sidewall abuts against the support frame and limits the support frame.

[0012] The support frame includes a U-shaped support tube, the two ends of which extend into the channels of two support seats and are rotatably connected to the support seats.

[0013] The channel is provided with a first positioning groove that connects to the vertical side wall and can position the support frame in the folded position, and the channel is also provided with a second positioning groove that connects to the horizontal side wall and can position the support frame in the unfolded position.

[0014] The channel is provided with a clamping groove that can clamp and position the support tube and allow the support tube to pass through when the support tube is pushed by two forces.

[0015] A transverse rod is also provided between the two support seats, with both ends of the transverse rod connected to the upper end of the support seat.

[0016] The padding has a pocket sewn on it, which is open at one end and can be fitted into the support tube and the horizontal bar. The pocket opening is provided with a zipper that can close the pocket opening after the horizontal bar is fitted into the pocket.

[0017] Each of the aforementioned support bases is connected to two of the aforementioned suction cups, one of which is located at the upper end of the support base and the other at the lower end of the support base.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. The support frame of this utility model is rotatably connected to the upper end of each support base. Therefore, when the support frame with the pad and the ring rotates upward to the folded position, the ring is directly opposite the vertical surface, and there are no other components separating them. This allows the support components to be as close to the vertical surface as possible, ensuring that the pet hammock occupies little space after folding. Moreover, the entire pet hammock has a simple component structure and low production cost, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0020] 2. When the support component of this utility model is in the folded position, the ring with a certain thickness is in a non-contact state with the front of the support base. The ring is attached to the vertical surface, and the support base will not squeeze the ring, thus not affecting the ring's softness and fatigue, allowing the ring to be used for a long time.

[0021] 3. When installing the cushion of this utility model, the support tube and the horizontal tube are inserted into the pocket on the cushion. After insertion, the pocket is closed by the zipper, which firmly fixes the cushion and the ring to the support frame. Compared with the traditional Velcro structure, the connection is more secure.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, a foldable pet hammock is provided for cats and other pets to lie down, rest, or play. It can switch between an unfolded and a folded state.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the foldable pet hammock includes two support bases 1, but there can also be three or more. Each support base 1 is equipped with a suction cup 2, which allows the support base 1 to be attached to a smooth wall or window glass or other vertical surface 100. Each support base 1 has an upper end 1a and a lower end 1b along the vertical direction. In this invention, the upper end 1a does not refer to the highest point of the support base 1, but rather to the position near its highest point; similarly, the lower end 1b does not refer to the lowest point of the support base 1, but rather to the position near its lowest point. A support component 3 that can rotate relative to the support base 1 is provided on the support base 1 at its upper end 1a. When the support base 1 is attached to the vertical surface 100, the positions where the support component 3 can stay include an unfolded position that can support the pet and a folded position that can stay after rotating upward relative to the support base 1. In the unfolded position, the support component 3 presents a platform that can be used to support the pet, for example, a cat can lie on it. In the folded position, the support component 3 is stored. At this time, the support component 3 can extend almost along the vertical surface 100, reducing the space occupied and making it convenient to open and close the curtains.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the support component 3 includes a support frame 31 rotatably connected to the support base 1. The support frame 31 is provided with a soft pad 32. When the support component is in the unfolded position, the pet can lie on the soft pad 2. The soft pad 32 is provided with a ring 33 protruding to one side around it. The ring 33 has a certain thickness and can protect the pet on the soft pad 2. Moreover, the setting of the ring 33 makes the support component 3 look like a pet bed with a recessed space, so that the pet has enough comfort. The pet can comfortably sunbathe or sleep in the pet bed. Since the support frame 31 is rotatably connected to the upper end 1a of the support base 1, when the support frame 31 rotates upward, the cushion 32 and the surrounding ring 33 are directly opposite the vertical surface 33. There are no other components obstructing the support assembly 3 and the vertical surface 100, making the support assembly 3 as close to the vertical surface 100 as possible. This ensures that when the support assembly 3 is in the folded position, the entire pet hammock occupies little space, facilitating the opening and closing of windows and curtains. Moreover, the surrounding ring 33 will not be squeezed and deformed by the support base 1, thus not affecting the softness and fatigue resistance of the surrounding ring 33. Furthermore, since the support frame 31 is directly rotatably connected to the upper end 1a of the support base 1, the entire structure of the support base 1, support frame 31, and other components is simple and has a low production cost.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, when the support component 3 is in the folded position, the ring 33 is attached to the vertical surface 100, which minimizes the thickness of the pet hammock in the direction perpendicular to the vertical surface 100 when folded, and minimizes the space occupied.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, each support base 1 is elongated and has a front side 1c and a back side 1d located on the opposite side of the front side 1c. The suction cup 2 is connected to the back side 1d. When the support assembly 3 is in the folded position, the ring 33 is in a non-contact state with the front side 1c of the support base 1, ensuring that the ring 33 is not squeezed by the support base 1, thus avoiding the situation where the support assembly 3 is tilted due to abutting against the support base 1 when the pet hammock is in the folded state.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, each of the support bases 1 has a channel 4 at the upper end 1a, which allows the support frame 31 to move within it. The channel 4 has a vertical side wall 41 and a horizontal side wall 42. When the support assembly 3 is in the unfolded position, the horizontal side wall 42 abuts against the support frame 31 and limits the support frame 31. At this time, the horizontal side wall 42 blocks the lower side of the support frame 31 and prevents the support frame 31 from rotating downward. When the support assembly 3 is in the folded position, the vertical side wall 41 abuts against the support frame 31 and limits the support frame 31. At this time, the vertical side wall 41 blocks the support frame 31 and prevents the support frame 31 from rotating further during the folding process.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 31 includes a U-shaped support tube 311. Both ends of the support tube 311 extend into the channels 4 of the two support seats 1 and are rotatably connected to them. The channels 4 are provided with a first positioning groove 43 that connects to the vertical sidewall 41 and positions the support frame 31 in a folded position. The channels 4 are also provided with a second positioning groove 44 that connects to the horizontal sidewall 42 and positions the support frame 31 in an unfolded position. When the end of the support tube 311 is located in the first positioning groove 43, the support assembly 3 is in the folded position and positioned. When the end of the support tube 311 is located in the second positioning groove 44, the support assembly 3 is in the unfolded position and positioned.

[0036] like Figure 4As shown, a clamping groove 45 is provided within the channel 4, located between the first positioning groove 43 and the second positioning groove 44, which can clamp and position the support tube 311 and allow the support tube 311 to pass through when pushed by two forces. The clamping groove 45 is relatively narrow, and the support tube 311 can only squeeze through the clamping groove 45 by applying a certain pushing force. Therefore, the groove wall of the clamping groove 45 also plays a limiting role for the support tube 311, so that the support assembly 3 can stay in the unfolded position or the folded position and will not be easily changed in position.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a transverse rod 5 is also provided between the two support bases 1 to connect them. The transverse rod 5 connects the two support bases 1, which can enhance the structural strength of the pet hammock. The two ends of the transverse rod 5 are connected to the upper end 1a of the support base 1. Figure 5 As shown, the padding 32 has a pocket 6 sewn onto it, open at one end, allowing the support tube 311 and the transverse rod 5 to be inserted. The pocket 6 has a zipper 7 at its opening, which closes the pocket after the transverse rod 5 is inserted. When the padding 32 and the ring 33 are installed onto the support frame 31, the support tube 311 and the transverse tube 5 are inserted into the pocket 6 on the padding 32. After insertion, the pocket opening is closed by the zipper 7, thus firmly fixing the padding 32 and the ring 33 to the support frame 31. Compared to traditional Velcro structures, this connection is more secure.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, for secure installation, each support base 1 is connected to two suction cups 2, one of which is located at the upper end 1a of the support base 1, and the other is located at the lower end 1b of the support base 1.

[0039] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
