[0012] Representative embodiments of the pet carrier bag according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these drawings. The drawings are intended to conceptually explain the present invention, and therefore, for ease of understanding, dimensions, ratios, or numbers may be exaggerated or simplified as necessary.

[0013] A pet carrier bag 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as carrier bag 1) according to this embodiment is used to transport a pet P (see FIG. 1). More specifically, carrier bag 1 is a substantially circular cloth body, and with the pet P wrapped in the cloth, it is draped diagonally across one shoulder and under the armpit of a user U, such as an owner (i.e., worn diagonally across the body). In other words, carrier bag 1 can be called a pet sling. The intended pet P for carrier bag 1 is intended to be a small animal, particularly a small dog, but is not limited to this. The components of the carry bag 1 will now be described in detail.

[0014] The carry bag 1 has a main body 2 . The main body 2 forms a bag when unfolded and can encase the pet P (see Figure 1). The main body 2 can also be folded into a belt-like shape (see Figure 7), and can be further folded (or rolled up) and stored in the pocket 4 (see Figures 8 and 9).

[0015] The main body 2 may be made of any material as long as it has the desired flexibility and strength and does not leak the excrement and urine of the pet P, but for example, fabric or a resin sheet is preferably used.

[0016] The main body 2 of this embodiment can be formed into a belt-like shape by folding two opposing sides of a substantially rectangular piece of fabric in an accordion-like manner (see FIG. 3(A)). In other words, the two sides form an accordion-like structure by repeated mountain folds and valley folds. In the illustrated example, three mountain folds and three valley folds are formed, but the number of mountain folds and valley folds may be set appropriately depending on the depth of the storage space 23, which will be described later. In addition, in the illustrated example, the open ends of the two sides face outward in the width direction of the main body 2. This is because when the shoulder strap 3 is lifted, the open ends of the main body 2 widen, making it easier to store the pet P.

[0017] Both ends 21, 22 of the belt-shaped main body 2 are bound together by a fixing means such as stitching. Therefore, the main body 2 can take on a belt-like form by moving both ends 21, 22 away from each other (see FIG. 7).

[0018] Therefore, the main body 2 can form a storage space 23 for storing the pet P (see FIG. 2(B)). That is, due to the accordion-like structure described above, the main body 2 can be expanded in the width direction and depth direction (see FIG. 3(B)), which makes the main body 2 bag-like and ensures a sufficient storage space 23.

[0019] The main body 2 may have a cover 24 that can be opened and closed to cover the storage space 23 (see, for example, FIG. 2(B)). The cover 24 may be attached, for example, along the upper edge of the main body 2. The cover 24 is preferably made of a mesh fabric so that the user U can check the state of the pet P or so that the pet P can understand the outside situation. Although not shown, the cover 24 can expose or close the storage space 23 to the outside by operating a string that is inserted into a string hole formed in the center of the cover 24.

[0020] With the above-described configuration, the main body 2 can be folded or rolled up in its longitudinal direction while being arranged in a strip shape, and therefore the main body 2 can be folded compactly (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

[0021] For example, assuming that a small dog is to be accommodated, the suitable dimensions of the main body 2 when unfolded (dimensions in the depth direction and circumferential direction in FIG. 2(A)) are approximately as follows. Depth: 400mm~600mm Circumferential spread: 750mm~900mm

[0022] Next, the carry bag 1 has a shoulder strap 3 that is hung over the shoulder of the user U. The shoulder strap 3 is a belt-like member provided across both ends 21, 22 of the main body 2 (see FIG. 2(B)). Therefore, the carry bag 1 has a ring shape.

[0023] The shoulder strap 3 may be made of any material that has the desired flexibility and tensile strength, but fabric or resin sheet is suitable. The fabric of the shoulder strap 3 may be the same as or different from the fabric of the main body 2.

[0024] The shoulder strap 3 may include a strap 31 extending from the end 21 of the main body 2, a strap 32 extending from the end 22, and a connector 33 that detachably connects the straps 31 and 32. The straps 31 and 32 may have approximately the same width or different widths.

[0025] In the illustrated example, strap 31 also serves as a shoulder rest, but a shoulder rest may be provided separately from strap 31. At least one of straps 31 and 32 may have an adjuster to adjust the length. Also, connector 33 may be, for example, a buckle.

[0026] The shoulder strap 3 is sewn to both ends 21, 22 of the main body 2 at each base end (see, for example, area S in Figure 2). The connecting area formed by the stitching forms two lines that move away from each other toward the center of the shoulder strap 3 in the longitudinal direction. In other words, the stitched area forms a roughly V-shape. This is done to make it easier to fold, and also so that when the main body 2 containing the pet P is lifted, the edge of the opening of the main body 2 (i.e., the edge of the fabric) rises, giving the main body 2 additional depth. The two lines that make up the stitched area may be connected, or they may be separate as shown in the figure.

[0027] The angle θ (see FIG. 4(A)) between the two stitching lines is preferably about 30 to 120°, and more preferably 45 to 100°. The height h of the stitching (length along the longitudinal direction of the shoulder strap 3) is preferably about 50 to 70 mm.

[0028] Furthermore, it is preferable that the fabric of the main body 2 be sewn to the shoulder portion 3 only at the accordion-shaped ends 21, 22 facing the shoulder portion 3 (i.e., closest to the shoulder portion 3) (see FIG. 4(B)). This allows the main body 2 to have more depth in the unfolded state.

[0029] As an example of the dimensions of the shoulder strap 3, the width of the strap 31 is approximately 100mm to 150mm, the width of the strap 32 is approximately 30mm to 100mm, and the total length of the shoulder strap 3 may be variable and range approximately from 350mm to 650mm.

[0030] Next, the carry bag 1 has a pocket 4 (see, for example, FIG. 1). The pocket 4 can store the folded main body 2 and shoulder strap part 3, as well as the cover 24 and the lead 5 described below. In the illustrated example, the pocket 4 is attached to the end 21, but it may be attached to the opposite end 22, or may be a separate body separated from the main body 2. In the former two cases, it is preferable that the pocket 4 be open toward the main body 2 from the viewpoint of ease of storage work.

[0031] The pocket 4 can be opened and closed, for example, by a string passed through a string hole formed on the edge of the opening. Alternatively, other opening and closing means such as a hook-and-loop fastener or buttons that straddle the edge of the opening may be used. The pocket 4 may be made of any material that has the desired flexibility and tensile strength, but fabric or a resin sheet is suitable. The fabric of the pocket 4 may be the same as or different from the fabric of the main body 2.

[0032] As an example of the dimensions of the pocket 4 when stored, the height may be approximately 130 mm to 150 mm, the width may be approximately 160 mm to 190 mm, and the thickness may be approximately 60 mm to 80 mm.

[0033] The carrier bag 1 may further include a lead 5. The lead 5 connects the carrier bag 1 to the pet P (its collar or clothing) to prevent the pet P from jumping out.

[0034] 5, the lead 5 is fixed to the main body 2 at its base end, but may be configured to be detachable from, for example, a metal fitting provided on the main body 2. Also, in the example shown, the lead 5 is attached to the end 22 side of the inner surface of the main body 2, but the lead 5 may be attached to the end 21 side or near the center of the main body 2, or may even be attached to the outer surface side of the main body 2.

[0035] To cite an example of the dimensions of the lead 5, the length may be variable between 170 mm and 300 mm, and the width may be variable between 10 mm and 30 mm.

[0036] The method of using the carry bag 1 having the above-described structure will now be described.

[0037] The process of using the carry bag 1 from the end of use to folding it will now be described. The carrier bag 1 containing the pet P is taken off the shoulder of the user U. The cover 24 is opened, and the pet P is taken out of the main body 2. As the connector 33 is released (see Figure 6), the ends 21, 22 of the main body 2 are pulled outward, and the main body 2 becomes belt-like (see Figure 7). At this time, the main body 2 and the shoulder strap part 3 are sewn together in a substantial V shape, so the shape of the main body 2 can be easily adjusted. The shoulder strap portion 3 is arranged along the main body 2, and the main body 2 and the shoulder strap portion 3 are rolled up or folded from the end 22 side toward the end 21 (see FIG. 8). The folded main body 2 and shoulder strap part 3 are tucked into the pocket 4 (see FIG. 9), allowing the carry bag 1 to be stored and carried compactly.

[0038] In this way, the shape of the main body 2 can be easily adjusted by simply pulling the left and right ends of the main body 2 away from each other, so the carry bag 1 can be easily and neatly made compact.

[0039] Conversely, the process from when the carrier bag 1 is folded to when the pet P is accommodated in the carrier bag 1 will be described. The main body 2 and the shoulder strap part 3 are stored in a pocket 4 (see FIG. 9). The main body 2 and the shoulder strap portion 3 are taken out of the pocket 4 and are then unwound (unfolded) into a belt-like shape (see Figures 8 and 7). Next, the cover 24 is opened and the main body 2 is widened in the width direction (see FIG. 6). If necessary, the lead 5 is attached to the pet P, and then the pet P is placed inside the main body 2. The cover 24 may be closed as necessary. The shoulder strap parts 3 are connected with the connectors 33 and are then hung on the shoulder. The length of the shoulder strap parts 3 may be adjusted before or after the shoulder strap parts 3 are hung on the shoulder. In this way, the pet P can be carried.

[0040] The above describes specific aspects of the pet carrier bag according to a representative embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these, and various design modifications are possible, and these design modifications are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
