[0011] 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.

[0012] The pet carrier bag 1 according to this embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as the carrier bag 1) is used to transport pets. The pets that the carrier bag 1 is intended for include, but are not limited to, small dogs and cats. The components of the carry bag 1 will now be described in detail.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the carry bag 1 has a bottom 2 . The bottom part 2 includes a pair of bottom pieces 21, 22 (a first bottom piece and a second bottom piece). The bottom pieces 21 and 22 are generally rectangular and share one side 23. In other words, the bottom pieces 21 and 22 are connected at the side 23 and can be rotated around the side 23 to be overlapped. Therefore, the side 23 can be said to be a fold line of the bottom portion 2.

[0014] The bottom pieces 21 and 22 have outer edges 21A and 22A (first and second outer edges), respectively. When the bottom pieces 21, 22 are rotated around the side 23 and overlapped, the outer edges 21A, 22A are detachably engaged with each other (see, for example, FIG. 7). In the illustrated example, a slide fastener 23 is used as the engaging means, but other means such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a button may also be used.

[0015] The bottom 2 is the part on which the pet sits, so it is preferably made of a plate or core material with the desired strength and hardness (flexibility). For example, a resin core material (Bell Pollen) is preferably used as the bottom 2, and its thickness is preferably, for example, 1.5 mm, but is not limited to this. An example of the dimensions of the bottom portion 2 is a width of 300 mm to 450 mm and a length of 170 mm to 250 mm.

[0016] The carry bag 1 has a peripheral surface 3 rising from a base 2. The peripheral surface 3 is made of a flexible fabric. The flexibility of the fabric may be such that the peripheral surface 3 is not self-supporting (see, for example, FIG. 5), but it is preferable that the fabric is not easily torn by pet scratches. 2, the peripheral surface 3 forms a pet accommodation space 31 between itself and the bottom 2. Therefore, the carrier bag 1 opens upward.

[0017] The accommodation space 31 may be covered with a cover 32 that can be opened and closed freely. The cover 32 may be made of a mesh fabric (see FIG. 3) so that the user can check the pet inside the accommodation space 31 and the pet can check the outside (see FIG. 3). The cover 32 may be opened and closed by operating a string that is passed through a string hole provided in the center.

[0018] The peripheral surface 3 may have a window 33. The window 33 allows the outside of the storage space 31 to be seen from the inside, and the inside from the outside. The window 33 may be covered with a mesh fabric to prevent the pet from jumping out.

[0019] The window portion 33 may be covered by a window covering 34 that can be opened and closed freely (see Fig. 1(A) and Fig. 3). In the illustrated example, the window covering 34 is, for example, a rectangular piece of fabric, and is fixed along the edge of the window portion 33 (the upper edge in the illustrated example), but the shape of the window covering 34 is not limited to a rectangular shape. The window cover 34 is rolled up or down and fixed at the upper or lower edge of the window portion 33 by a fastening means such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a button, thereby exposing the window portion 33 to the outside. The window covering 34 may also be held on the peripheral surface 3 while covering the window portion 33. A slide fastener is preferably used as the holding means, but other means such as a button or a hook-and-loop fastener may also be used.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1(C), the carry bag 1 is provided with a reinforcing plate 5 for supplementing the strength of the bottom part 2. The reinforcing plate 5 is detachably attached to the bottom 2 and has a shape and size that covers at least the connecting portion (i.e., side 23) of the bottom pieces 21, 22. The reinforcing plate 5 may cover either the outer surface side or the inner surface side of the bottom 2.

[0021] The reinforcing plate 5 may occupy 1 / 3 to 3 / 4 of the bottom portion 2 in the longitudinal direction of the bottom portion 2. Alternatively, the reinforcing plate 5 may have, for example, a width of approximately 100 mm to 340 mm and a length of approximately 150 mm to 230 mm.

[0022] Any material having the desired strength and hardness (flexibility) can be used for the reinforcing plate 5, but a resin core material (bill pollen) is suitable for use. When bill pollen is used, a plate material with a thickness of 2 mm can be used.

[0023] The reinforcing plate 5 may be housed in a pocket 6 provided in the bottom portion 2. From the viewpoint of easy insertion and removal of the reinforcing plate 5, the pocket 6 is preferably larger than the dimensions of the reinforcing plate 5 by about 10 to 20 mm.

[0024] The pocket 6 may be formed on either the outer or inner surface of the bottom part 2. An opening (not shown) of the pocket 6 may be opened and closed by a fastener (for example, a slide fastener).

[0025] Therefore, when a pet sits on the bottom 2 without the reinforcing plate 5, the bottom 2 is depressed in an approximately V-shape, making the carrier bag 1 less stable. However, by attaching the reinforcing plate 5 to the bottom 2, the depression in the bottom 2 is improved, the stability is increased, and the pet feels more secure, even when the pet sits on the bottom 2.

[0026] 4, the carry bag 1 includes a handle 4. The handle 4 may be attached to the peripheral surface 3. The carry bag 1 may further have a shoulder strap 7. The shoulder strap 7 may be, for example, a shoulder belt, but is not limited to this. The shoulder strap 7 may also have a shoulder pad.

[0027] Carry bag 1 may also have a lead (not shown) to prevent the pet from jumping out. The lead may be attached, for example, to the inner or outer surface of carry bag 1. The lead may also be attached to peripheral surface 3 or bottom 2. The length of the lead may be adjustable, for example, between 170 mm and 300 mm.

[0028] A method of using the carry bag 1 having the above-described structure will now be described. With the carrier bag 1 in the unfolded state, open the cover 32 to expose the storage space 31. Also, make sure that the reinforcing plate 5 is attached to the bottom 2. Place the pet in the storage space 31, close the cover 32, and carry the carrier bag 1.

[0029] At this time, the bottom 2 will bend due to the weight of the pet, but the presence of the reinforcing plate 5 keeps the bending within an allowable range and prevents the bottom 2 from bending into a substantially V-shape. In other words, the bottom 2 is stable, giving the pet a sense of security. By adjusting the degree to which the cover 32 is closed, the pet's head can be placed outside the accommodation space 31.

[0030] Next, a method for packing the carry bag 1 compactly will be described. Open the cover 32 and remove the pet from the accommodation space 31 (see FIG. 4). The reinforcing plate 5 is removed from the bottom portion 2 (pocket 6) (see Figure 5). The peripheral surface 3, cover 32, handle portion 4, and shoulder strap portion 7 are folded and gathered within the range of the bottom portion 2 (see Figure 6). The bottom pieces 21 and 22 are folded back, and the outer edges 21A and 22A of the bottom pieces 21 and 22 are overlapped, and the outer edges 21A and 22A of the bottom pieces 21 and 22 are closed with fasteners (see Figure 7). This allows the carry bag 1 to be gathered up compactly.

[0031] In this way, with the carry bag 1, when the reinforcing plate 5 is removed from the bottom portion 2, the peripheral surface 3, the handle portion 4, and other components can be stored between the folded bottom pieces 21 and 22. The reinforcing plate 5 can also be stored between the folded bottom pieces 21 and 22. This makes the carry bag 1 compact, making it easy to store and carry.

[0032] 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.
