Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Due to its structure, the size and structure of each part of the bag to which the conventional bag cover can be attached are greatly restricted. Therefore, the invention according to this application aims to provide an opening cover for a pet carrying bag that has less restrictions on the size and structure of the bag to which it can be attached, is versatile, has a simple structure, can be obtained at low cost, and can be flexibly deformed according to the state of the pet and the use environment.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the reference numerals in the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In order to solve the above problems, the opening cover 1 of the pet-carrying bag of the present invention has a main body 2 that is substantially rectangular in the unfolded state and is composed of a sheet portion 21 in which one half in the longitudinal direction is made of a sheet material and a net portion 22 in which the other half is made of a mesh material. A first open fastener 3 that can be detachably engaged with each other is attached to one edge in the longitudinal direction of the sheet portion 21 and one edge in the longitudinal direction of the net portion 22 following the edge. Similarly, a second open fastener 4 that can be detachably engaged with each other is attached to the other edge in the longitudinal direction of the sheet portion 21 and the other edge in the longitudinal direction of the net portion 22 following the edge. The main body 2 is hung on the bag 101 so as to straddle the upper part of the bag 101 through the loop of the suspension cord 102 such that the sheet portion 21 hangs down along one side surface of the bag 101 and the net portion 22 hangs down along the other side surface. In this state, a part of the first and second open fasteners 3 and 4 is configured to be closed while leaving the opening portion 5 through which the suspension cord 102 passes. On the upper opening portion 103 of the bag 101, the sheet portion 21 or the net portion 22 can be selectively arranged, and it is possible to put a hand into the bag 101 from the opening portion 5 and contact the pet.

Advantages of the Invention

[0006] According to the opening cover 1 of the present invention, the structure is simple and it can be relatively freely displaced with respect to the bag 101, so it can be flexibly deformed and used according to the state of the pet and the surrounding environment. For a bag 101 having a suspension cord 102 forming a loop such as a handle or a shoulder strap, it can be relatively widely applied regardless of its size and shape, and the structure is simple and can be obtained at a relatively low cost.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Embodiments of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the bag 101 to which the cover sheet 1 is applied is provided with a suspension cord 102 forming a loop such as a handle or a shoulder strap, and has an open part 103 at the upper part.

[0009] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the cover sheet 1 includes a flexible main body 2 that is generally rectangular as a whole. The main body 2 is composed of a sheet portion 21 that constitutes one half in the longitudinal direction and a net portion 22 that constitutes the other half. The sheet portion 21 is made of an opaque sheet material such as a woven fabric. The net portion 22 is made of a mesh material that is transparent on both the front and back. Elastic shrinkage gathers 21a and 22a that contract elastically in the width direction are formed at the lower edges of the sheet portion 21 and the net portion 22, respectively.

[0010] A first open fastener 3 that can be engaged and disengaged with each other is attached to one edge in the longitudinal direction of the sheet portion 21 and one edge in the longitudinal direction of the net portion 22 following this. Similarly, a second open fastener 4 that can be engaged and disengaged with each other is attached to the other edge in the longitudinal direction of the sheet portion 21 and the other edge in the longitudinal direction of the net portion 22 following this.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cover sheet 1 is attached to the bag 101 so as to straddle the upper part of the bag 101 through the loop of the suspension cord 102. When attached, the cover sheet 1 has a structure in which the sheet portion 21 and the net portion 22 hang down along the front and rear side surfaces of the bag 101, respectively.

[0012] The open fasteners 3 and 4 are provided so that the side edges of the sheet portion 21 and the net portion 22 can be joined together with the cover sheet 1 draped over the top of the bag 101. That is, the open fasteners 3 and 4 each have an element row 31, 41 on the sheet portion 21 side and an element row 32, 42 on the net portion 22 side that mates with these. By engaging the ends of the pair of element rows 31, 32, 41, 42 with each other using a butterfly bar, box, or slider 33 and sliding the slider from the ends of the sheet portion 21 and the net portion 22 toward the boundary portion 23, the element rows 31, 32 and the element rows 41, 42 can be closed.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the sliders 33 and 43 of the open fasteners 3 and 4 join the left and right side edges of the two halves of the main body 2 attached to the bag 101 from the lower end to a desired stop position and can form an unjoined opening 5 from the stop position to the upper end.

[0014] The cover sheet 1 is attached to the bag so as to surround the bag 101 with the sheet portion 21 and the net portion 22 of the sheet main body 2 joined by the open fasteners 3 and 4, and to extend the suspension cord 102 of the bag from the unjoined opening 5 at the side edge. By lowering the sliders 33 and 43 to appropriately widen the opening 5, one can put a hand in and touch the pet inside the bag, thereby giving the pet a sense of security. Also, by shifting the sheet main body 2 in the front-rear direction and appropriately changing the portion covering the opening portion 103 of the bag 101 with the sheet portion 21 and the net portion 22, one can appropriately respond to the surrounding environment.

[0015] The stretch gather portions 21a and 22a are provided by inserting a rubber band or the like so as to pre-shrink the hem portions of the sheet portion 21 and the net portion 22 in the width direction of the sheet main body 2. In a state where the cover sheet 1 is attached to the bag 101, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the stretch gather portions 21a and 22a are continuously annular and gently tighten the hem portion so as to wrap around the bag 101.

[0016] The cover sheet 1 configured as described above is mounted to cover the upper open portion 103 with a pet such as a dog or a cat placed inside the bag 101. Since the structure is simple and there are few engaged portions with respect to the bag 101, it can be relatively freely shifted partially or entirely. That is, for example, with respect to the suspension cord 32 passing through the opening 5, the cover sheet 1 can be relatively rotated around it to shift the relative position of the cover sheet 1 with respect to the bag 101. If it is arranged to cover the upper open portion 103 with the sheet portion 21, when transporting a pet by train or the like, the pet inside the bag 101 can be prevented from being seen by the surrounding people. If the environment permits, the position of the cover sheet 1 can be shifted and arranged to cover the upper open portion 103 with the net portion 22, and the state of the pet can be observed through the mesh, or eye contact can be made to calm the pet. By lowering the sliders 33, 43 and appropriately widening the opening 5, a hand can be inserted through it to touch the pet inside the bag, thereby giving a sense of security to the pet.
