That is, in this embodiment, the fixing device 1130 can be a hard ISOFIX system including, for example, a main body frame 1131, a connection frame 1132, connectors 1133 and 1134 (for example, ISOFIX connectors), and a pull tape 1135. The main body frame 1131 is directly fixed to the bottom of the box body 1110 and is fixed by, for example, fitting, locking, welding, etc., but is not limited thereto. The connection frame 1132 is U-shaped and is composed of a pair of longitudinal connection brackets 11321 and 11322 and a cross bar 11323 connecting between the longitudinal connection brackets 11321 and 11322. The respective ends (or called "rear ends") of both longitudinal connection brackets 11321 and 11322 are, for example, connected to the main body frame 1131 in a sleeve-joinable manner, whereby the connection frame 1132 can move telescopically with respect to the main body frame 1131. Further, the connectors 1133 and 1134 provided at the front end of the connection frame 1132 can operate between the position at the bottom of the box body 1110 and the position exposed outside the box body 1110 from the long side 1110A of the box body 1110. The pull tape 1135 is connected to the bar 11323 of the "U-shaped" connection frame 1132 for the user (for example, a caregiver for an infant or a pet owner) to pull to move the connection frame 1132 with respect to the main body frame 1131. The connectors 1133 and 1134 are used to connect to a corresponding fixing system in the vehicle seat, for example, an ISOFIX fixing point, in order to stably fix the carrier 1100 of this embodiment to the vehicle seat. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the fixing device 1110 of the carrier 1100 does not include the pull tape 1135, and the positions of the connectors 1133 and 1134 can be adjusted by directly pulling the connectors 1133 and 1134.Note that the "longitudinal direction" and "lateral direction" of the "longitudinal connection bracket" and "crossbar" according to this specification correspond to the relative directions of the carrier, and are convenient for distinguishing parts and / or parts of a part. That is, the "longitudinal connection bracket" and "crossbar" are also called the "first connection bracket" and "second connection bracket".
[0095] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1B, bottom plate openings 11101 and 11102 (also referred to as "bottom openings") penetrating the bottom are provided at the bottom of the box body 1110 of the carrier 1100, and a fixing pull tape (not shown) of the carrier 1100 is bored through, and an infant or an animal is fixed within the placement space S1 of the carrier 1100 (further described in FIGS. 10A and 10B, and FIGS. 11A and 11B). Further, a positioning fastener is provided at the short side 1110C of the box body 1110 away from the bottom plate openings 11101 and 11102 so that the free end (not shown) of the fixing pull tape passes therethrough, and an adjustment end portion is formed there, so that the user can adjust the degree of loosening of the fixing pull tape.
[0096] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1B, in this embodiment, the fixing device 1130 of the carrier 1100 further includes a unlocking handle 1136 directly installed at the bottom of the box body 1110 of the carrier 1100. When the unlocking lever 1136 is pulled, the engaging pins 1136A and 1136B can be disengaged from the engaging holes on the main body frame 1131 (for example, the engaging hole 11322A) and one of the engaging holes on the main body frame 1131 corresponding to the engaging hole on the connector 11322 respectively. The user can pull the pull tape 1135 so that the connecting frame 1132 can extend and move out of the box body 1110 with respect to the main body frame 1131. After the extension adjustment is completed, the unlocking lever 1136 is loosened, and the engaging pins 1136A and 1136B can be inserted into the corresponding engaging holes of the main body frame and the connecting frame for positioning, thereby avoiding further movement of the connecting frame 1132. Similarly, when the unlocking lever 1136 is pulled to disengage the engaging pins 1136A and 1136B from the engaging holes, the connecting frame 1132 can be pushed and folded so that the connectors 1133 and 1134 are disengaged from the fixing points of the rear seats after unlocking (as described below).
[0097] Also, as shown in FIG. 1C, the fixing device 1130 of the carrier 1100 in this embodiment is similarly directly installed at the bottom of the box body 1110 of the carrier 1100, and further includes an unlocking device configured by connecting unlocking linkage steel wires 1138A and 1138B by an unlocking mechanism 1137. One end of each of the unlocking linkage steel wires 1138A and 1138B is connected to the unlocking mechanism 1137, and the other end of each of them is connected to the locking blocks (not shown) of the connectors 1133 and 1134 respectively. When the user presses the unlocking mechanism 1137, the locking blocks are driven to disengage from the engagement with the ISOFIX fixing points on the vehicle seat through the unlocking linkage steel wires 1138A and 1138B, thereby realizing the unlocking of the connectors 1133 and 1134, and the carrier 1100 in this embodiment can be detached from the ISOFIX fixing points on the vehicle seat and unloaded.
[0098] According to this embodiment, since the fixing device 1130 of the carrier 1100 is directly fixed or embedded in the bottom of the box body 1110, there is no need to provide a separately provided fixing base or a base with support legs attached, and the box body 1110 of the carrier 1100 can be stably fixed to the vehicle seat as it is, thus completing the stable installation of the carrier 1100 in the vehicle.
[0099] Explanation will be made with reference to FIGS. 1D and 1E schematically showing a modification of the foregoing embodiment. As shown in the figures, the positioning fastener 11103 of the carrier 1100 can be installed on the bottom of the box body 1110, on the short side 1110D close to the bottom plate openings 11101 and 11102. In this embodiment, both ends of the Y-shaped fixing pull tape are respectively exposed through the bottom plate openings 11101 and 11102 into the placement space of the box body 1110 and are bored for fixing infants and animals (further described in FIGS. 10A and 10B, and FIGS. 11A and 11B). The belt body portion (also called the fixing strip) 11106 of the Y-shaped fixing pull tape extends through the guide structure 11105 provided on the short side 1110C to change its extending direction, extends toward the short side 1110D, and further forms an adjustment end portion 11106A there through the positioning fastener 11103 provided on the short side 1110D for the user to adjust the looseness of the fixing pull tape. In this embodiment, since the short side 1110D is the side close to the head of the infant or animal and also the side close to the caregiver of the rear seat, the carrier 1100 of this embodiment is advantageous for the caregiver to adjust the looseness of the fixing pull tape according to the actual situation during driving so that the infants and animals in the loading space are not overly pressed by the fixing belt.
[0100] According to this embodiment, the box body 1110 includes, but is not limited to, plastic, wood, metal, or any material having a certain hardness to provide support, and can include a cushioning material or a foaming material such as expanded polypropylene (EPP) or expanded polystyrene (EPS), but can be manufactured with an appropriate material as required. Preferably, the box body 1110 can be manufactured with a rigid plastic material.
[0101] Refer to FIGS. 2A to 2B which schematically show the carrier 1200 having an integrated fixing device in another embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure. Here, FIG. 2A is a perspective schematic view of the carrier 1200 of this embodiment, and FIG. 2B is a bottom perspective schematic view of the carrier 1200.
[0102] The carrier 1200 shown in FIG. 2A has a structure and composition similar to that of the carrier 1100 of the above-described embodiment, and includes a box body 1210, a handle 1220, and a fixing device 1230. The box body 1210 has a box-shaped structure and is restricted to have a high peripheral wall to surround the placement space S1. The handle 1220 has a generally U-shaped structure and is movably or removably connected to the box body 1210 to facilitate a user (for example, a caregiver of an infant or a pet owner) to hold and carry the carrier 1200 of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the handle 1220 is pivotally attached to the upper or outer sides of both long sides of the box body 1210 at its both ends, that is, the handle 1220 can be rotated along its both ends to the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the box body 1210 in the direction of the box body 1210 along the pivots 1221, 1222, and can be easily stored on it by overlapping. The fixing device 1230 may be, for example, a hard ISOFIX system including a main body frame, a connection frame, connectors 1233 and 1234, and a pull tape 1235. In this embodiment, the fixing device 1230 is similarly provided directly at the bottom of the box body 1210 and is fixed to the bottom of the box body 1210 by, for example, fitting, locking, or welding the main body frame of the fixing device 1230 to the box body 1210. In this embodiment, the configuration of the main body frame and the connection frame of the fixing device 1230 is an integrated fixing device that forms the carrier 1200 by fixedly coupling the main body frame of the fixing device 1230 to the box body 1210 in the same manner as the main body frame 1131 and the connection frame 1132 of the above-described embodiment. In this embodiment, the fixing device 1230 similarly includes components such as an unlocking lever 1236 and an unlocking device (not shown).
[0103] The carrier 1200 of this embodiment can be further fixed to the rear seat of the vehicle by using the seat belt of the rear seat due to its structural design. Specifically, in this embodiment, at least one guide member (guide members 1211 and 1212 in this embodiment) is provided on the outer periphery of the peripheral wall of the box body 1210 of the carrier 1200 (for example, the outer periphery of the peripheral wall of its short side 1210C), and a guide member 1223 is also provided on the handle 1220. The width and size of the guide member are designed such that the seat belt of the rear seat of the vehicle can pass through and be positioned.
[0104] Generally, the seat belt of the rear seat of the vehicle includes a lap belt (or waist belt) that extends through the abdomen of the passenger and a shoulder belt that extends downward from the shoulder of the passenger. The shoulder belt and the lap belt are commonly connected to a male buckle member of the seat belt (for example, a tongue), and this tongue is inserted into and engaged with the corresponding female buckle member of the rear seat. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, in addition to being fixed to the corresponding ISOFIX fixing point of the rear seat of the vehicle by the fixing device 1230, when installed on the rear seat of the vehicle, the carrier 1200 uses the seat belt lap belt (or waist belt) 115A of the rear seat of the vehicle to pass through the guide members 1211 and 1212 located on the outer periphery of the peripheral wall of the short side 1210C of the box body 1210, and uses the seat belt shoulder belt 115B to pass through the guide member 1223 on the handle 1220, and can be inserted into and engaged with the corresponding female buckle member (not shown) of the rear seat through the commonly connected tongue 116. Thereby, the connection between the seat belt of the rear seat of the vehicle, the box body 1210, and the handle 1220 can provide a stable and fixing effect for the carrier 1200 of this embodiment. In particular, in this embodiment, the guide member 1223 on the handle 1220 restricts the seat belt shoulder belt 115B of the belt on the handle 1220, which is advantageous for fitting the seat belt shoulder belt 115B of the belt to a part of the handle 1220 and extending along it. Thereby, the handle 1220 can also provide auxiliary support for the seat belt shoulder belt 115B of the belt to avoid the seat belt shoulder belt 115B moving randomly during the running of the vehicle.
[0105] According to this embodiment, the fixing device 1230 of the carrier 1200 is directly fixed or embedded in the bottom of the box body 1210, and the guide members 1211, 1212, and 1223 are also directly formed (or installed) on the box body 1210 and the handle 1220 and are fixed in combination with the seat belt of the rear seat of the vehicle. Therefore, there is no need for a separately installed fixing base or a fixing base with a support leg attached, and the box body 1210 can be directly fixed to the rear seat of the vehicle, and the fixing and installation of the carrier 1200 in the vehicle can be completed.
[0106] In one embodiment, the carrier 1200 of this embodiment further includes an extending belt 117 (provided on the outer surface of the box body). When the volume of the carrier 1200 is large, or when the seat belt abdominal belt 115A and the seat belt shoulder belt 115B of the seat belt of the rear seat of the vehicle are not long enough to be connected to the seat belt buckle under the rear seat after passing through the guide members 1211, 1212 on the box body 1210 and the guide member 1223 on the handle 1220 respectively, the extending belt 117 can be used to lengthen the length of the seat belt of the rear seat. Specifically, the extending belt 117 includes an extending strip 117A to which a female buckle member 117B and a male buckle member (for example, a tongue piece) 117C are respectively connected at the ends. The seat belt abdominal belt 115A and the seat belt shoulder belt 115B of the seat belt of the rear seat of the vehicle pass through the guide members 1211, 1212 on the box body 1210 and the guide member 1223 on the handle 1220 respectively, that is, after passing through the common connected tongue piece 116, they are inserted into the female buckle member 117B of the extending belt 117 to be buckle-connected to the extending belt 117, and the male buckle member 117C (for example, a tongue piece) of the extending belt 117 is further inserted into a vehicle seat belt female buckle member (not shown) to fix the rear seat of the vehicle by the seat belt of the rear seat of the vehicle, and the stable installation of the carrier 1200 of this embodiment in the vehicle is completed.
[0107] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the carrier 1300 has the same structure and composition as the carriers 1100 and 1200 of the above-described embodiments, including a box body 1310, a handle 320, guide members 1311, 1312, 1323, and an extending belt 117, an extending strip 117A, a female buckle member 117B, and a male buckle member 117C. In this embodiment, similar component symbols are used to represent the same function or component, and the same parts do not need to be described so as not to confuse the concept of the invention. The difference between this embodiment and the carrier 1200 shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B is that in this embodiment, the carrier 1300 is not provided with an ISOFIX fixing device 1230 and is directly fixed to the rear vehicle seat with the rear seat belt. In this embodiment, the fixing of the carrier 1300 in the vehicle can be completed by fixing the rear vehicle seat with the seat belt of the rear vehicle seat.
[0108] Refer to FIGS. 4A to 4C, which schematically show a carrier 1400 having an integrated fixing device according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure.

[0110] As a difference between carrier 1400 and the above-described embodiment, in this embodiment, carrier 1400 includes the fixing device 1430 as the first fixing device, and further includes, for example, a flexible ISOFIX system as the second fixing device to provide another fixing point for the rear seat of the vehicle of carrier 1400.
[0111] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, the second fixing device 1440 includes a belt portion 1441 (for example, webbing) and a connector 1442 connected to an end of the belt portion 1441. In this embodiment, the connector 1442 may be, for example, an ISOFIX connector connectable to a corresponding ISOFIX fixing point of the rear seat of the vehicle. The belt portion 1441 extends to the bottom of the box body 1410, and the other end (adjustment end) 1441A is exposed outside the box body 1410 through an adjuster 1443 provided on the long side 1410B of the box body 1410, so that the user can quickly and easily adjust the belt length of the belt portion 1441 of the flexible (soft) connection fixing system 1440.
[0112] In this embodiment, the adjuster 1443 of the second fixing device 1440 can be selected from any existing length adjusters made of any material by those skilled in the art belonging to the present disclosure, such as adjusters, length adjusters, Japanese character fasteners, eyelet fasteners, one-way adjusters, cam fasteners, etc., but is not limited thereto.
[0113] In this embodiment, carrier 1400 includes guide members arranged corresponding to the outer surface of carrier 1410 and handle 1420, and is provided with the guide members 1211, 1212, 1223 of the above-described embodiment so that a seat belt (not shown) of the vehicle seat is perforated and positioned, and a further stable fixing effect can be provided for carrier 1400.
[0114] Refer to FIGS. 5A to 5D, which schematically show a carrier 1500 having an integrated fixing device in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure. Here, FIG. 5A is a perspective schematic view of the carrier 1500 of this embodiment, FIG. 5B is a bottom perspective schematic view of the carrier 1500, FIG. 5C corresponds to an enlarged view of the carrier in the placement space of the box body with the dashed-line region 1500A in FIG. 5B, and FIG. 5D is a schematic view showing the configuration and assembly of the fixing device 1530 after the bottom cover of the box body 1510 of the carrier 1500 of this embodiment is removed.
[0115] The carrier 1500 shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D has the same structure and composition as the carriers 1100, 1200, and 1400 of the above-described embodiments, and includes a box body 1510, a handle 1520, and a fixing device 1530. The box body 1510 has a box-shaped structure and is restricted to have a high peripheral wall to surround the placement space S1. The handle 1520 includes pivots 1521 and 1522, and the fixing device 1530 includes a main body frame 1531, a connection frame 1532, vertical connection brackets 15321 and 15322, connectors 1533 and 1534, a crossbar 15323, a pull tape 1535, a release lever 1536, engagement pins 1536A and 1536B, a release mechanism, and a release linkage wire, etc.
[0116] As a difference between the carrier 1500 and the above-described embodiments, in this embodiment, in addition to the above fixing device 1530, the carrier 1500 further includes an anchor device (Top Tether) 1550 for further fixing the carrier 1500 to an anchor point (not shown) of the rear seat of the vehicle. As shown in the figure, the anchor device 1550 includes a tether 1551, an adjuster 1552, a connection tape 1553, and connection members 1554 such as fasteners. One end of the tether 1551 is connected to and extends from one side of the adjuster 1552, and this end is exposed outside the adjuster 1551 to form a tether adjustment end 1551A. The other side of the adjuster 1552 is connected to one end of the connection belt 1553, and the connection belt 1553 is connected to the connection member 1554 and is fixed above the rear seat of the vehicle or uses a corresponding fixed point (not shown) that reaches the rear bottom across the seat as an anchor point.
[0117] In this embodiment, the length of the connection belt 1553 is fixed, but the user can pull the tether adjustment end 1551A passing through the adjuster 1552, adjust the length of the tether 1551 according to the fixation of the adjuster 1552, and adjust the overall belt length of the anchor device 1550 to adapt to the position of the fixing point. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the length of the tether 1551 can be fixed, and the user can adjust the length of the connection tape 1553 with the adjuster 1552, thereby adjusting the overall belt length of the anchor device 1550 to adapt to the fixing point of the rear seat of the vehicle.
[0118] As shown in FIG. 5C, in this embodiment, one end of the tether 1551 of the anchor device 1550 penetrates inwardly through a through hole 1510S formed in the box body 1510 from the outer surface of the bottom of the box body 1510, and abuts against the inner surface of the box body 1510 through a fixing member (for example, a D-ring buckle, not limited thereto, the fixing member 1555) connected to the end thereof. That is, the tether 1551 engages with the through hole 1510S through the fixing member 1555 and is fixed to the box body 1510. The fixing member 1555 is exposed in a placement space S1 surrounded by the peripheral wall of the box body 1510 from the inner surface of the box body 1510.
[0119] In this embodiment, in order to provide a further stable fixing effect to the carrier 1500, the carrier 1500 can also include a guide member provided corresponding to the outer surface of the carrier 1510 and a guide member provided on the handle 1520, which are positioned to pass through a seat belt (not shown) of the vehicle seat or the tether 1551 of the anchor device 1550, like the guide members 1211, 1212, 1223 of the foregoing embodiment.
[0120] Referring to FIG. 6, a carrier 1600 having an integrated fixing device in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. The carrier 1600 shown in FIG. 6 has a structure and composition similar to those of the carrier 1500 in the foregoing embodiment, and includes a box body 1610, a placement space S1 defined by the box body 1610, a handle 1620, pivots 1621 and 1622 of the handle 1620, a fixing device including components such as a connector 1633, and an anchor device 1650 and the like. Also, as shown in the partial enlarged view in the figure, the connector 1633 is an ISOFIX connector, the connector 1633 has a directionality with a thick end 1633A located above and a relatively thin end 1633B located below, and the connector 1633 further includes a release button 1633C, whereby the user can push it to release the lock of the connector 1633 and thus move away from the ISOFIX fixing point of the vehicle seat.
[0121] As a difference between the carrier 1600 and the above-described embodiment, in this embodiment, the fixing device of the carrier can change its connection direction in order to be adaptively fixed to the corresponding fixing points on the left side (i.e., behind the driver's seat) of the left vehicle seat or the right side (i.e., behind the passenger seat) of the right vehicle seat. Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7D.
[0122] Referring to FIGS. 7A to 7E, a schematic explanation will be given of the detailed configuration and operation of the fixing device in the carrier 1600 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6.
[0123] As shown in FIG. 7A, the carrier 1600 in this embodiment has a fixing device coupled to the box body 1610, that is, the fixing device is directly installed at the bottom of the box body 1610, and the carrier 1600 in this embodiment can be directly fixedly attached to the rear seat of the vehicle without a separately installed fixing base or a base to which a support leg is attached.
[0124] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing device may be a hard ISOFIX system including, for example, a main body frame 1631, a connection frame (including vertical connection brackets 16321 and 16322 and a crossbar 16323), connectors 1633 and 1634, and an interlocking assembly 1670 (including a pull tape 1635). The carrier 1600 of this embodiment further includes a steering device 1660. The fixing device is connected to the steering device 1660 via the main body frame 1631 and pivotally attached to the bottom of the box body 1610. The fixing device 1660 can rotate from a first region in its original position to a second region at the bottom of the box body 1610 via the steering device 1660. With the assistance and action of the steering device 1660, the fixing device can change the connection direction to the rear seat of the vehicle to adaptively fix to the corresponding fixing points on the left side (i.e., behind the driver's seat) or the right side (i.e., behind the passenger's seat) of the rear seat. Referring to FIG. 7F, the detailed configuration of the steering device of this embodiment will be schematically described. In this embodiment, the steering device 1660 includes a pivot 1661, bumps 1662A and 1662B, and a circular turntable 1663. A circular groove portion 1616 for accommodating the circular turntable 1663 of the steering device 1660 and serving as a space for the operation of the steering device 1660 is formed at the bottom of the box body of the carrier 1600. The circular turntable 1663 is rotatable about a central axis 1663A. In this embodiment, the central axis 1663A, that is, the central axis where the center of the circular groove portion 1616 (not shown) coincides with the center of the circular turntable 1663. The pivot 1661 is fixed in the diametrical direction of the circular turntable 1663 via the bumps 1662A and 1662B (shown in FIG. 7A) and is rotatable with the rotation of the circular turntable 1663. In this embodiment, the pivot 1661 is bored through the bumps 1662A and 1662B so that there is a gap between the main body frame 1631 connected to the pivot 1661 and the bottom of the box body without contacting the outer surface of the bottom of the box body, and this gap provides an appropriate space for reversing the main body frame 1631 (described below).
[0125] Alternatively, in other embodiments, an annular guide rail may be formed at the bottom of the box body 1610. The steering device 1660 includes a pivot and a pair of guide bumps located outside the pivot and close to both ends of the pivot. The guide bumps are respectively coupled to the annular guide rail at their outer edges and are movable along the annular guide rail, thereby rotating the pivot about the center of the annular guide rail.
[0126] In this embodiment, one side of the main body frame 1631 of the fixing device is connected to the pivot 1661. Since there is a gap between the pivot 1661 and the outer bottom surface of the box body 1610, the main body frame 1631 is also spaced from the outer bottom surface of the box body 1610 and does not contact the outer bottom surface of the box body 1610. Therefore, the main body frame 1631 is rotatable along the pivot 1661. Further, the connection frame and the connectors 1633 and 1634 are inverted toward the relative long side of the box body 1610 (further described below). In this embodiment, a steering unlocking mechanism is provided on the main body frame 1631 of the fixing device. The steering unlocking mechanism includes an operating member 1636, a locking pin 1637, and a return spring 1638 fitted outside the locking pin 1637. In this embodiment, the locking pin 1637 can be engaged with an engaging hole (described later) inside the receiving groove at the bottom of the box body 1610. The main body frame 1631 is positioned at the bottom of the box body 1610 by engaging with the engaging hole by the locking pin 1637. When the user pulls or pushes the operating member 1636 of the unlocking handle in the direction of arrow U shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 7A, that is, moves the locking pin 1637 in the same direction to unlock the main body frame 1631 and release the positioning of the main body frame 1631 at the bottom of the box body 1610 to an operable state. When the user releases the operating member 1636, the locking pin 1637 is reset by the return spring of the return spring 1638, engages with the corresponding engaging hole, and returns the main body frame 1631 to a state where it can be positioned on the box body 1610.
[0127] Specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 7A, the carrier 1600 of this embodiment is fixed to the ISOFIX fixing points of the left vehicle seat (i.e., behind the driver's seat) by the connectors 1633 and 1634 provided on its long side 1610A, and is further fixed above the rear vehicle seat by the tether 1651 of its anchor device, the connection tape, and the connection member (e.g., a buckle) 1654, or the corresponding fixing points (not shown) from above the seat to the rear bottom can be used as the anchor points.
[0128] When the user wants to fix the carrier 1600 to the right vehicle seat as needed for actual use, the user first presses the unlock button 1633C of the connector 1633 (shown in FIG. 6) to unlock the connector 1633 (and the unlock button of the connector 1634 (not shown), the unlock connector 1634), detaches the connectors 1633 and 1634 from the ISOFIX fixing points of the vehicle seat, and then presses or pulls the operating member 1636 of the steering unlock mechanism to disengage the lock pin 1637 from the engagement hole 1617A (shown in FIG. 7B) in the accommodation groove 1617, thereby unlocking the main body frame 1631. On the other hand, the user pulls the adjustment end 1635A of the pull tape 1635 and uses the pull tape 1635 to unlock the interlocking assembly 1670. Further, the main body frame 1631 (together with the connection frame and the connectors 1633 and 1634) is lifted, and the main body frame 1631 is inverted from the originally positioned first region along the pivot 1661 to the vertical plane at the bottom of the box body 1610, so that the main body frame 1631 of the fixing device (together with the connection frame and the connectors 1633 and 1634) can be in the upright state as shown in FIG. 7C.
[0129] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7B, in this embodiment, the interlocking assembly 1670 includes a pair of sliders 1672A and 1672B, a return spring 1671 provided between the sliders 1672A and 1672B, and a pull tape 1635. The pull tape 1635 has a Y-shaped structure, and both end connection belts 16351 and 16352 connect the sliders 1672A and 1672B respectively, and can move the sliders 1672A and 1672B. The sliders 1672A and 1672B are pushed towards the return spring 1671 under the traction of the pull tape 1635 and move towards each other, and further disengage the locking pins 1676A and 1676B of the interlocking assembly 1670 from the engaging holes (not numbered) of the vertical connection brackets 16321 and 16322 of the connection frame to unlock the vertical connection brackets 16321 and 16322 of the connection frame. For example, both end connection belts 16351 and 16352 of the pull tape 1635 are connected to the corresponding ring parts 1670A and 1670B on the sliders 1672A and 1672B respectively, for example, by a drilling and stitching method, and can move the sliders 1672A and 1672B when pulled, and can unlock the connection frame so that it disengages from the engagement with the bottom of the box body 1610. In this way, the main body frame 1631 (together with the connection frame and the connectors 1633 and 1634) is lifted, and the main body frame 1631 is inverted from the originally positioned first region along the pivot 1661 to the vertical plane at the bottom of the box body 1610, and the main body frame 1631 (together with the connection frame and the connectors 1633 and 1634) of the fixing device can be in the upright state as shown in FIG. 7C.
[0130] Next, using the circular turntable 1663 of the steering device 1660, rotate the circular groove portion 1616 of the box body 1610 along the central axis 1663A (or move the annular guide rail using the guide bumps), and rotate the main body frame 1631 connected to the steering device 1660 counterclockwise (indicated by the arrow direction R in FIG. 7C) by 180 degrees. The pull tape 1635 is changed by the rotation of the main body frame 1631 so that its adjustment end 1635A protrudes from the long side 1610B and extends from the long side 1610A. Finally, the main body frame 1631 is inverted again along the pivot 1661 to abut against the second region of the bottom of the box body 1610 in a parallel plane to the bottom of the box body 1610. The sliders 1672A and 1672B of the interlocking assembly 1670 return to both sides under the repulsive force of the return spring 1671, push the lock pins 1676A and 1676B, and engage them with the engagement holes of the vertical connection brackets 16321 and 16322 respectively. The user can pull the operating member 1636 of the steering lock release mechanism, reset the lock pin 1637, and engage it with the engagement hole 1618A of the accommodation groove 1618, and the fixing device can be in the state shown in FIG. 7D. Thereby, the carrier 1600 is fixed to the vehicle seat via the long side 1610B of the box body 1610. Further, the interlocking assembly 1670 further includes a first wall 16701 and a second wall 16702, and the first wall 16701 has two openings 16701A and 16701B. In this embodiment, the first wall 16701 and the second wall 16702 form a rail 16703 for stably moving the sliders 1672A and 1672B therein. The openings 16701A and 16701B of the first wall 16701 expose the webbing fixing portions of the sliders 1672A and 1672B respectively, and the connection belts 16351 and 16352 can be connected to the sliders 1672A and 1672B respectively through both webbing fixing portions.
[0131] Finally, as shown in FIG. 7E, adjust the direction of the tether 1651 of the anchor device 1650 so that the tether 1651, the adjuster 652, the connection tether 653, and the connection member 1654 extend from the outer periphery of the bottom of the box body 1610 toward the long side 1610A. In the state shown in FIG. 7E, the positions of the connectors 1633 and 1634 are changed so as to extend from the long side 1610A to the long side 1610B. In the carrier 1600 of this embodiment, the connectors 1633 and 1634 on the long side 1610B thereof are fixed to the ISOFIX fixing points of the right vehicle seat (i.e., behind the passenger seat). Further, it can be fixed above the rear seat of the vehicle via the tether 1651, the connection tether 653, and the connector 1654 of the anchor device, or a corresponding fixing point (not shown) from the upper part of the rear seat of the vehicle to the rear bottom across the seat can be provided as an anchor point. Similarly, by adjusting the adjustment end 1651A of the tether 1651, the length of the tether 1651 of the anchor device 1650 can be adjusted to fit the position of the fixing point of the vehicle.
[0132] In this embodiment, the carrier 1600 may be positioned to pass through the seat belt (not shown) of the vehicle seat or the tether 1651 of the anchor device 1650 to provide a further stable fixing effect to the carrier 1600, and may include guide members arranged corresponding to the outer surface of the carrier 1610 and the handle 1620, that is, the guide members 1211, 1212, and 1223 of the foregoing embodiment.
[0133] Referring to FIGS. 8A to 8D, a carrier 1800 having an integrated fixing device in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. The carrier 1800 of this embodiment has the same structure and composition as the carrier 1500 of the above-described embodiment, and includes a box body 1810 and a handle 1820. The box body 1810 has a box-shaped structure and is restricted to have a high peripheral wall so as to surround the placement space S1. The box body 1810 has two opposing long sides 1810A and 1810B. In the states shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the carrier 1800 abuts against the seat back of the rear seat of the vehicle with the long side 1810A. The handle 1820 has a generally U-shaped structure and is movably or removably connected to the box 1810 to facilitate a user (for example, a caregiver of an infant or a pet owner) to hold and carry the carrier 1800 of this embodiment. In this embodiment, both ends of the handle 1820 are pivotally attached to the respective long sides of the box body 1810. That is, the handle 1820 can rotate its both ends along the pivots 1821 and 1822 in the direction of the box body 1810 up to the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the box body 1810 and can be easily stored thereon by overlapping. Alternatively, in an alternative embodiment, the handle 1820 can also be removed and separated from the box body 1810.
[0134] As a difference between the carrier 1800 and the foregoing embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, in this embodiment, the anchor device 1850 of the carrier 1800 is configured in a Y-shaped structure. Specifically, the anchor device 1850 mainly includes a first tether 18511, a second tether 18512, an adjuster 1852, and a connection tape 1853. One end of each of the first tether 18511 and the second tether 18512 is connected to the same side of the adjuster 1852, or after being joined (for example, by stitching), forms a tether 1851 connected to the same side of the adjuster 1852. In this embodiment, one end of the connection tape 1853 of the anchor device 1850 extends through the other side of the adjuster 1852 to form an adjustment end portion 1853A, and at the opposite end of the adjustment end portion 1853A of the connection tape 1853, a connection member (for example, a fastener) 1854 is connected to a corresponding fixing point (not shown) fixed above the rear seat of the vehicle or reaching the rear bottom over the seat as an anchor point.
[0135] As shown in FIG. 8A, in this embodiment, a first guide member 1823 and a second guide member 1824 are respectively provided on both sides of the U-shaped handle 1820 of the carrier 1800, and the widths and dimensions of the guide members 1823 and 1824 are designed such that the first tether 18511 or the second tether 18512 of the anchor device 1850 passes through and is positioned.
[0136] As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the carrier 1800 is fixed to the corresponding ISOFIX fixing point of the rear seat of the vehicle through its fixing device (for example, through the connector 1833 of the fixing device). In addition, when installed on the rear seat of the vehicle, the connection between the tether of the anchor device 1850, the box body 1810, and the handle 1820 can be utilized to further provide the stable fixing effect of the carrier 1800 of this embodiment. In particular, in this embodiment, the guide member 1823 on the handle 1820 positions the second tether 18512 of the anchor device 1850 on the handle 1820, which is advantageous for the second tether 18512 to abut and extend along a part of the handle 1820. Thereby, the handle 1820 can also provide auxiliary support for the anchor device 1850 to avoid the second tether 18512 moving randomly during vehicle travel.
[0137] As described above, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8B, the handle 1820 of the carrier 1800 has both ends pivotally attached to both long sides of the box body 1810. The handle 1820 can rotate along the pivots 1821 and 1822 in the direction of the box body 1810 to the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the box body 1810 and be placed thereon. In the state shown in FIG. 8B, since the handle 1820 is overlapped on the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the box body 1810, the guide member 1823 located on the handle 1820 moves in the short side direction of the box body 1810 together with the handle 1820, increasing the interval between the positions where the second tether 18512 and the first tether 18511 respectively contact the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the box body 1810. By increasing this interval, the supporting force of the anchor device 1850 on the box body 1810 can be more evenly distributed, further stabilizing the fixing of the carrier 1800 on the rear seat of the vehicle in this embodiment, and being advantageous for preventing the carrier 1800 from tilting easily due to vehicle steering or speed changes.
[0138] Referring to FIG. 8C, another difference between the carrier 1800 of this embodiment and the foregoing embodiments will be described. As shown in FIG. 8C, in this embodiment, the anchor device 1850 of the carrier 1800 and the connection frame 1832 of the fixing device are integrally coupled. As shown in the figure, the connection frame 1832 of the fixing device includes two longitudinal connection brackets 18321 and 18322, and at least one lateral positioning lever (also referred to as "positioning lever" or "cross bar", which is the same as the "cross bar" in the foregoing embodiments, and in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8C, two lateral positioning levers 18323 and 18324) connected between the two longitudinal connection brackets 18321 and 18322. Connectors (for example, ISOFIX connectors) 1833 and 1834 are respectively connected to the respective connection ends 18321A and 18322A of the connection brackets 18321 and 18322, whereby they are fixed to the respective fixing points of the rear seat of the vehicle. The respective coupling ends 18321B and 18322B of the connection brackets 18321 and 18322 are integrally coupled to the first tether 18511 and the second tether 18512 of the anchor device 1850 respectively, but are not limited to a method such as butt joint or rivet joint. In this embodiment, the lateral positioning levers 18323 and 18324 of the connection frame 1832 are positioned in the bottom positioning groove (to be further described below) of the box body 1810, and the anchor device 1850 and the fixing device are integrally coupled to the box body 1810.
[0139] In this embodiment, the carrier 1800 may also include guide members 1211 and 1212 disposed corresponding to the outer surface of the carrier 1810 to provide an additional stable fixing effect to the carrier 1800 by piercing and positioning the seat belt (not shown) of the vehicle seat.
[0140] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the fixing device and the anchor device 1850 are integrated by the connection of the tether and the connection bracket. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the fixing device and the anchor device 1850 may be independent devices or members that respectively provide the fixing and anchoring functions of the vehicle to the carrier.
[0141] With the fixing device and anchor device of this embodiment, and the positioning groove design at the bottom of the carrier box, the user can easily change the fixing direction and position of the carrier 1800 relative to the rear seat of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 8D, in this embodiment, after the integrally coupled fixing device and anchor device become integrally removable, they are fixed in the opposite direction to the box body 1810 and are in the state shown in the figure. Specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 8D, the carrier 1800 abuts against the seat back of the rear seat of the vehicle with the long side 1810B, and is anchored to the corresponding fixing points of the rear seat of the vehicle by the connectors 1833 and 1834 protruding from the long side 1810B. The carrier 1800 is fixed on the right side of the rear seat of the vehicle, that is, behind the passenger seat. In this embodiment, in addition to fixing the carrier 1800 to the corresponding ISOFIX fixing points of the rear seat of the vehicle with a fixing device (for example, by its ISOFIX connectors 1833, 1834), when installing it on the rear seat of the vehicle, the connection between the tether of the anchor device 1850, the box body 1810, and the handle 1820 can also be utilized to further provide the stable fixing effect of the carrier 1800 of this embodiment. In particular, in this embodiment, the guide member 1824 on the handle 1820 buckles the first tether 18511 of the anchor device 1850 to the handle 1820, which is advantageous for the first tether 18511 to abut against and extend along a part of the handle 1820. Thereby, the handle 1820 can also provide auxiliary support for the anchor device 1850 so that the first tether 18511 does not move freely during vehicle travel.
[0142] FIGS. 9A to 9C are provided to schematically illustrate the actions and configurations of the connection frame positioning lever and the bottom positioning groove of the carrier box in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 8A to 8D.
[0143] As shown in the figure, at the bottom of the box body 1810, a first positioning structure 1817 and a second positioning structure 1818 are formed so that a first positioning lever (for example, the lateral positioning lever 18323) and a second positioning lever (for example, the lateral positioning lever 18324) of the connection frame 1832 are respectively positioned. In this way, the fixing device of this embodiment can be stably coupled to the box body 1810. When viewed from the short side direction of the carrier 1800, the positioning structures 1817 and 1818 each exhibit a T-shaped structure formed by a lateral portion and a longitudinal portion. Specifically, the first positioning structure 1817 has a lateral portion 18171 and a longitudinal portion 18172. The longitudinal portion 18172 is connected to the center of the lateral portion 18171 and has a narrow width. Left positioning grooves 1817A and right positioning grooves 1817B are formed on both sides of the longitudinal portion 18172 at the connection location of the lateral portion 18171 and the longitudinal portion 18172. Similarly, the longitudinal portion 18182 of the second positioning structure 1818 is connected to the center of the lateral portion 18181 and has a narrow width. Left positioning grooves 1818A and right positioning grooves 1818B are formed on both sides of the longitudinal portion 18182 at the connection location of the lateral portion 18181 and the longitudinal portion 18182.
[0144] In this embodiment, the lower edges of the lateral portions 18171 of the first positioning structure 1817 (towards the bottom of the box body 1810) and the lower edges of the lateral portions 18181 of the second positioning structure 1818 (towards the bottom of the box body 1810) are formed to form the inclined surfaces of the left inclined surface 1817A' and the right inclined surface 1817B' of the first positioning structure 1817, and the left inclined surface 1818A' and the right inclined surface 1818B' of the second positioning structure 1818 respectively. As shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, due to this inclined surface design, the connection frame 1832 can, as shown in FIG. 9C, slide into the respective left positioning grooves 1817A and 1818A from the left inclined surfaces 1817A' and 1818A using its positioning levers 18323 and 18324 for positioning. The fixing device of this embodiment can be stably coupled to the box body 1810. Alternatively, when attempting to change the fixing position and direction of the carrier 1800 of this embodiment with respect to the vehicle seat (for example, when attempting to fix it to the right side of the rear vehicle seat, i.e., behind the passenger seat as shown in FIG. 8D), the positioning levers 18323 and 18324 can also be slid into the corresponding right positioning grooves 1817B and 1818B from the right inclined surfaces 1817B' and 1818B respectively for positioning.
[0145] It should be noted that the embodiments shown in FIGS. 8A - 8D and the embodiments shown in FIGS. 9A - 9C are exemplarily described with an example where the connection frame 1832 includes both lateral positioning levers 18323 and 18324. However, in other embodiments, the connection frame 1832 can include only one lateral positioning lever connected between the approximate mid - points of the approach of both longitudinal connection brackets 18321 and 18322, and can slide into the right positioning groove 1817B and the left positioning groove 1818A from the inclined surface 1817B' or 1818A' at the bottom of the box body 1810 for positioning, achieving the effect of being able to fix the carrier 1800 to the rear vehicle seat at the selected position and direction.
[0146] According to the present disclosure, a carrier equipped with an integrated fixing device can be provided as a balanced - type vehicle safety seat device for general infants, or as a vehicle transport device for transporting animals or pets.
[0147] Referring to FIGS. 10A and 10B, a carrier for accommodating an infant in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Here, FIG. 10A is a front schematic view of the carrier 11000 of this embodiment, and FIG. 10B is a rear schematic view of the carrier 11000 of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the fixing belt of the carrier 11000 includes a first belt 11071, a second belt 11072, and a main tape 11070 (also called a "fixing strip" similar to the "belt body portion 11106" in the foregoing embodiment) connected to the respective fixed ends of the first belt 11071 and the second belt 11072, presenting a Y-shaped structure. The first belt 11071 and the second belt 11072 are formed at the bottom of the box body 11010 and protrude from the first bottom plate opening 11011 and the second bottom plate opening 11012 penetrating the bottom respectively, and buckle members (for example, tongue pieces or other forms of male buckle members) 11071A, 11072A are connected to one end of each of them. The first belt 11071 and the second belt 11072 are buckled with a fastener (for example, a seat belt female buckle member) 11075A on a fixed buckle (also called a "box belt") 11075 through the respective buckle members 11071A, 11072A, thereby forming a closed fixing structure and providing fixing and support corresponding to the shoulders of the infant. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the first belt 11071 and the second belt 11072 extend on the back surface of the box body 11010 and are commonly connected to one end of the main tape 11070. The other end (free end) of the main tape 11070 further extends through a positioning fastener 11013 provided on the short side of the box body 11010, and an adjustment end portion 11070A is exposed and formed there. The user can adjust the loosening of the fixed pull belt by pulling the adjustment end portion 11070A and positioning by the positioning fastener 11013.
[0148] Referring to FIGS. 11A and 11B, there is schematically shown a carrier for transporting an animal or pet in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure. Here, FIG. 11A is a front schematic view of the carrier 11100 of this embodiment, and FIG. 11B is a rear schematic view of the carrier 11100 of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the fixed pull belt of the carrier 11100 includes a first belt 11171 and a first belt 11172 (also referred to as a "back band"), and a main pull tape 11170 (also referred to as a "fixed strip", similar to the "belt body portion 11106" in the foregoing embodiment) connected to the fixed ends of the first belt 11171 and the second belt 11172 respectively, presenting a Y-shaped structure. The first belt 11171 and the second belt 11172 are formed at the bottom of the box body 11110, protrude from the first bottom plate opening 11111 and the second bottom plate opening 11112 penetrating the bottom respectively, and buckle members (for example, tongue pieces or other forms of male buckle fasteners) 11171A, 11172AB are connected to one ends thereof respectively. The first belt 11171 and the second belt 11172 are buckled with the fasteners (for example, seat belt female fasteners) 11175A, 11176A at one ends of the fixed buckle belts 11175, 11176 through the respective buckle members 11171A, 11172A, thereby forming a closed fixed structure to provide fixation and support corresponding to the shoulders and back of the animal. Also, as shown in FIG. 11B, the first belt 11171 and the second belt 11172 extend on the back surface of the box body 11110 and are commonly connected to one end of the main pull tape 11170. The other end (free end) of the main pull tape 11170 further extends through a positioning fastener 11113 provided on the short side of the box body 11110, and an adjustment end portion 11170A is exposed and formed there. The user can adjust the loosening of the fixed pull belt by positioning the positioning fastener 1113 by pulling the adjustment end portion 11170A.
[0149] In one embodiment, the fixed pull tapes of carrier 11000 and carrier 11100 can be applied to the carriers of the above - mentioned multiple embodiments, and the present disclosure does not limit the embodiments of the combinations feasible among the above - mentioned multiple carriers. Also, for the carriers of the multiple embodiments described above, the positioning fastener on the short side of the box body can be replaced with the guide structure 11105 shown in FIGS. 1D and 1E, and by installing the positioning fastener 11103 on the other short side, it can also be made easier for the driver to adjust the looseness of the fixing belt during driving. In the above - mentioned multiple embodiments, the outer shapes of the box bodies of the multiple carriers are all rectangular parallelepipeds, but the present disclosure does not limit the outer shape of the box body of the carrier, and it can also be a cube, without having both long sides and both short sides, and having four sides that are approximately equal.
[0150] In the present disclosure, the term "integrated fixing device" or "integrated type fixing device" means that the fixing device of the carrier of the present disclosure is directly fixed or embedded in the bottom of the box body, combined with the box body of the carrier, so that the carrier of the present disclosure can fix the vehicle seat with the box body itself.
[0151] As described above, the first aspect of the present disclosure provides a carrier having an integrated fixing device and a corresponding fixing device. According to the present disclosure, since the fixing device of the carrier is directly fixed or embedded in the bottom of the box body, the box body itself can be stably fixed to the rear vehicle seat without matching a separately provided fixing base, and the stable installation of the carrier in the vehicle can be completed.
[0152] The first aspect of the present disclosure also provides a carrier with a convertible fixing direction, which enables a user to quickly and easily fix the carrier at a position on the left side (i.e., behind the driver's seat) or the right side (i.e., behind the passenger seat) of the rear vehicle seat as required for actual use by means of the fixing device provided in the carrier of the present disclosure.
[0153] In a second aspect of the present disclosure, a carrier, particularly a pet carrier, is provided. For convenience, similar structures in the following different embodiments have similar reference numerals. For example, the reference numerals of the pet carriers in the first to eighth embodiments of the second aspect of the present disclosure are "2100" to "2800", respectively.
[0154] Referring to FIGS. 12A to 12G, FIGS. 12A and 12B are schematic external views of the pet carrier 2100 of the first embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure from different perspectives, FIG. 12C is a schematic cross-sectional view of the pet carrier 2100 of the first embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, FIG. 12D is a schematic view of the restraint device 2120 of the first embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, FIGS. 12E and 12F are schematic views of the pet carrier 2100 of the first embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure in different usage states, and FIG. 12G is a schematic view when the handle of the pet carrier 2100 of the first embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure is folded. As shown in FIGS. 12A to 12G, the pet carrier 2100 includes a box body 2110 and a restraint device 2120. The box body 2110 includes a bottom 2111 defined to surround an accommodation space 2113 for accommodating a pet and a peripheral wall 2112 connected to the bottom 2111. The bottom 2111 includes a bottom opening 21111. The restraint device 2120 includes a restraint belt 2121. The restraint belt 2121 penetrates the bottom opening 21111 and is at least partially located within the accommodation space 2113. The restraint belt 2121 can cooperate with a connector installed on a pet collar P0 worn by the pet, thereby limiting the pet within the accommodation space 2113. The connector may be a fixed ring (for example, a metal ring, a webbing ring, or a buckle ring made of other materials that can withstand high tension). In this embodiment, the box body 2110 may be a substantially rectangular structure, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. In another embodiment, the box body may be a substantially square structure.
[0155] As shown in FIGS. 12E and 12F, the restraint belt 2121 can be provided with a connector P1 close to the back of the pet on the pet collar P0 or a connector P2 close to the chest or abdomen of the pet on the pet collar P0, so that the restraint belt 2121 and the corresponding connectors can cooperate with each other. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment, and the restraint belt can be provided with any connector on the pet collar.
[0156] As shown in FIGS. 12A-12D and 12G, the restraint device 2120 further includes a fastener set 2122 including a first buckle member 21221 and a second buckle member 21222. Specifically, the first buckle member 21221 and the second buckle member 21222 can be a male buckle and a female buckle respectively. The first buckle member 21221 is provided at the free end 211 of the webbing 2121, and the second buckle member 2122 is provided at the bottom 2111 of the box body 2110. The free end 211 of the restraint webbing 2121 is detachably connected to the bottom 2111 of the box body 2110 by the buckles of the first buckle member 21221 and the second buckle member 212.
[0157] In addition, the restraint device 2120 further includes an adjuster 2123. The restraint belt 2121 passes through the adjuster 2123, and the adjustment end 21212 of the restraint belt 2121 is exposed outside the adjuster 2123. The adjuster 2123 is used to lock the restraint belt 2121 so that the restraint belt 2121 cannot move relative to the adjuster 2123. The adjuster 2123 is used to release the restraint belt 2121 so that the restraint belt 2121 can move relative to the adjuster 2123. Thus, the user can pull the free end 211 or the adjustment end 212 according to the actual needs (such as the body shape of the pet), and adjust the length of the restraint belt 2121 within the accommodation space 2113.
[0158] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C, the bottom opening 21111 can penetrate the bottom 2111 of the box body 2110. The adjuster 2123 is provided on the outer surface of the box body 2110 and is close to the long side of the bottom 2111 of the box body 2110, which can prevent accidental contact by the pet and make it easy for the user to operate.
[0159] The user first operates the adjuster 2123 (for example, presses the button 21231 of the adjuster 2123 and pivots it in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 12C) to release the restraint belt 2121. Then, the restraint belt 2121 is passed through the connecting member P1 close to the back of the pet on the pet choke P0 or the connecting member P2 close to the chest or abdomen of the pet on the pet choke P0, so that the restraint belt 2121 and the connecting member P1 or the connecting member P2 can cooperate with each other. After the restraint belt 2121 is passed through the connecting member P1 close to the back of the pet on the pet choke P0 or the connecting member P2 close to the chest or abdomen of the pet on the pet choke P0, the user buckles the first buckle member 21221 to the second buckle member 21222, so that the free end 211 of the restraint belt 2121 is detachably connected to the bottom 2111 of the box body 2110. Further, by operating the adjuster 2123 (for example, pivoting the button 21231 of the adjuster 2123 in the direction opposite to the arrow shown in FIG. 12C) to lock the restraint belt 2121, the pet can be restricted within the accommodation space 2113, and the riding safety of the pet can be improved.
[0160] Also, referring to FIGS. 12B, 12H, and 12I, FIG. 12H is a schematic view of a base B0 used in accordance with a pet carrier 2100 of a first embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure, and FIG. 12I is a schematic view when the pet carrier 2100 of the first embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure is attached to the base B0. As shown in FIGS. 12B, 12H, and 12I, the pet carrier 2100 further includes at least one engagement assembly. Specifically, the at least one engagement assembly includes a first engagement assembly 2130 and a second engagement assembly 2140, and the first engagement assembly 2130 and the second engagement assembly 2140 are provided at the bottom 2111 of the box body 2110 and are spaced apart from each other along the long axis direction of the box body 2110. The pet carrier 2100 is attached to the base B0 by the cooperation of one of the first engagement assembly 2130 and the second engagement assembly 2140 with the engagement structure B1 of the base B0, whereby the pet carrier 2100 can be attached to a vehicle seat (not shown) via the base B0. Here, the base B0 can be attached to the vehicle seat via support legs B2 and a fixing device B3 (for example, an International Organization for Standardization fixing device, International Standards Organization FIX). In another embodiment, the base may also be attached to the vehicle seat via a vehicle seat belt.
[0161] More specifically, the first engagement assembly 2130 includes a first engagement member 2131 and a second engagement member 2132, the second engagement assembly 2140 includes a third engagement member 2141 and a fourth engagement member 2142, the first engagement member 2131 and the second engagement member 2132 are spaced apart from each other along the short axis direction of the box body 2110, the third engagement member 2141 and the fourth engagement member 2142 are spaced apart from each other along the short axis direction of the box body 2110, the first engagement member 2131 and the third engagement member 2141 are aligned with each other along the long axis direction of the box body 2110, the second engagement member 2132 and the fourth engagement member 2142 are aligned with each other along the long axis direction of the box body 2110. The user can engage the first engagement member 2131 and the second engagement member 2132 with the corresponding engagement parts B11 of the engagement structure B1 respectively, or engage the third engagement member 2141 and the fourth engagement member 2142 with the corresponding engagement parts B11 of the engagement structure B1 respectively, according to the installation position, so as to adjust the mounting orientation of the pet carrier 2100 relative to the base B0. For example, when the pet carrier 2100 is installed behind the driver's seat of a vehicle with left-hand drive, the user can select to engage the first engagement member 2131 and the second engagement member 2132 with the corresponding engagement parts B11 of the engagement structure B1 respectively, so that the pet carrier 2100 is in the position shown in FIG. 12I relative to the base B0. When the pet carrier 2100 is installed behind the passenger seat of a vehicle with left-hand drive, the user can select to engage the third engagement member 2141 and the fourth engagement member 2142 with the corresponding engagement parts B11 of the engagement structure B1 respectively, so that the pet carrier 2100 is in another position relative to the base B0. Thereby, interference between the box body 2110 and the vehicle door or other structures can be avoided, and when the pet carrier 2100 is attached to the vehicle seat, it can be avoided that the adjuster 2123 is shielded and cannot be operated normally. In another embodiment, it should be understood that at least one engagement assembly can include only the first engagement assembly or the second engagement assembly. In still another embodiment, at least one engagement assembly can include the first engagement assembly, the first engagement assembly, and a third engagement assembly disposed between the first engagement assembly and the second engagement assembly
[0162] Also, as shown in FIGS. 12A, 12B, and 12G, the pet carrier 2100 further includes two structural reinforcement members 2150 and a handle 2160 that are spaced apart from each other at the bottom 2111 of the box body 2110. Each structural reinforcement member 2150 is a convex rib, and its major axis direction is substantially parallel to the minor axis direction of the box body 2110. The structural reinforcement member 2150 can enhance the structural strength of the pet carrier 2100 and improve its ability to withstand impacts. Both ends of the handle 2160 are pivotally attached to both long sides of the peripheral wall 2112 of the box body 2110, respectively, so that the handle 2160 can be pivotally deployed with respect to the peripheral wall 2112 to carry the pet carrier 2100, or pivotally retracted to store the pet carrier 2100. In another embodiment, the structural reinforcement member may be a horizontal crossbar extending in the minor axis direction of the box body 2110.
[0163] It should also be understood that the structure of the pet carrier of the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the pet carrier can include only one structural reinforcement member. Also, in another embodiment, at least one of the structural reinforcement member and the handle can be omitted. Further, in another embodiment, the handle can be removed from the peripheral wall.
[0164] Referring to FIGS. 13A to 13D, FIGS. 13A and 13B are schematic external views of the pet carrier 2200 of the second embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure from different perspectives, FIG. 13C is a schematic cross-sectional view of the pet carrier 2200 of the second embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, and FIG. 13D is a partial configuration schematic view of the restraint device 2220 of the second embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 13A to 13D, the pet carrier 2200 of this embodiment includes a box body 2210 and a restraint device 2220. Different from the pet carrier 2100 of the first embodiment, the restraint device 2220 of this embodiment includes a retractor 2224 but does not include a regulator. The bottom 2211 of the box body 2210 includes a chamber 22112 communicating with the bottom opening 2211. The retractor 2224 is accommodated in the chamber 2212. The adjustment end 22212 of the restraint webbing 2221 is connected to the retractor 2224. The retractor 2224 allows the winding or extension of the restraint webbing 2221. That is, the user can lengthen the length of the restraint belt 2221 in the accommodation space by pulling the restraint webbing 2221, and by releasing the restraint belt 2221, the retractor 2224 can wind up the restraint belt 2221. Furthermore, the retractor 2224 can also lock the restraint belt 2221 when the restraint belt 2221 is rapidly pulled and extended, thereby preventing the restraint belt 2221 from extending. The structure of the retractor 2224 can be the same as that of a known vehicle seat belt retractor, and for the sake of brevity, the description is omitted here.
[0165] Furthermore, the restraint device 2220 further includes a guiding member 2225 that is close to the retractor 2224 and is used to guide the restraint webbing 2221 close to the turning segment 22213 of the retractor 2224. The guiding member 2225 has a curved surface for contacting the restraint webbing 2221 to provide a smooth path for the turning segment 22213 of the restraint webbing 2221 so that the winding or extension operation of the restraint webbing 2221 becomes smoother. The present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. As an example, in another embodiment, the restraint device may not include a guiding member.
[0166] Other configurations of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment and have various similar variations. For the sake of brevity, the description is omitted here.
[0167] Referring to FIGS. 14A to 14C, FIGS. 14A and 14B are schematic external views of the pet carrier 2300 of the third embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure from different perspectives, and FIG. 14C is a schematic cross-sectional view of the pet carrier 2300 of the third embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 14A to 14C, the pet carrier 2300 of this embodiment includes a box body 2310 and a restraint device 2320. Different from the pet carrier 2200 of the second embodiment, the bottom 2311 of the box body 2310 of this embodiment includes a rotating member 23114 that is rotatable with respect to the main body member 23113 and the main body member 2313. The main body member 2313 can form a rotating groove 23113A for accommodating the rotating member 2314. The rotating groove 23113A can be provided with a guide rail 23113B for positioning the rotating member 23114 and guiding the rotation of the rotating member 23114. The bottom opening 23111 and the chamber 23112 are formed in the rotating member 23114. The first buckle member 23221 and the second buckle member 23222 of the fastener set 2322 are respectively provided on the restraint belt 2321 and the rotating member 23114. When the pet moves in the accommodation space 2313, the restraint belt 2321, the restraint webbing 2321 is prevented from getting entangled, and the rotating member 23114, the fastener set 2322, the retractor 2324, and the guide member 2325 rotate together in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 14A with respect to the main body member 23113. In another embodiment, the main body member and the rotating member may be rotatably connected only through a pivot, or may be rotatably connected through a guide rail and a pivot.
[0168] Other configurations of this embodiment are the same as those of the second embodiment and have various similar variations. For the sake of brevity, the description is omitted here.
[0169] Referring to FIGS. 15A to 15G, FIGS. 15A and 15B are schematic external views of the pet carrier 2400 of the fourth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure from different perspectives, FIG. 15C is a schematic cross-sectional view of the pet carrier 2400 of the fourth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, FIGS. 15D and 15E are schematic diagrams of a partial internal structure of the pet carrier 2400 of the fourth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, FIG. 15F is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of the restraint device 2420 of the fourth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, and FIG. 15G is a schematic diagram of the operating member 24271 of the fourth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure.
[0170] As shown in FIGS. 15A to 15G, the pet carrier 2400 of this embodiment includes a box body 2410 and a restraint device 2420. Different from the pet carrier 2200 of the second embodiment, the restraint device 2420 of this embodiment includes a buckle 2426 but does not include a fastener set. The buckle 2426 is provided at the free end 24211 of the restraint belt 2421. The buckle 2426 buckles the connecting member on the pet collar to engage the restraint belt 2421 and the connecting member on the pet collar with each other.
[0171] Specifically, the buckle 2426 includes a connecting portion 24261 and a buckling portion 24262. The connecting portion 24261 is connected to the free end 24211 of the restraint belt 2421. The buckling portion 24262 fixes the connecting portion 24261 to buckle the connecting member on the pet collar. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. For example, referring to FIG. 16. FIG. 16 is a partial configuration diagram of the restraint device 2520 in the fifth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 16, the buckling portion 25262 of the buckle 2526 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 25261 so that the restraint belt 2521 is not entangled.
[0172] Also, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15G, the restraint device 2420 includes a locking device 2427 that locks the retractor 2424 so that the retractor 2424 cannot rotate, thereby preventing the retractor 2424 from winding up or releasing the restraint webbing 2421.
[0173] Specifically, the locking device 2427 includes an operating member 24271, a driving member 24272, an elastic member 24273, a first locking member 24274, two second locking members 24275, and a reset member 24276. The two second locking members 24275 are respectively located on both sides of the retractor 2424 and are arranged coaxially with the retractor 2424. Each second locking member 24275 includes a plurality of locking notches 24275A. The operating member 24271 is rotatably installed at the bottom 2411 of the box body 2410 and can be pivotally switched between the locking position shown in FIG. 15D and the unlocking position shown in FIG. 15E. The driving member 24272 is slidably arranged at the bottom 2411 of the box body 2410 and includes a first end 24272A and a second end 24272B. The first end 24272A of the driving member 24272 forms a recess 24272C for cooperating with the first locking member 24274. The second end 24272B of the driving member 24272 forms a receiving groove 24272D for cooperating with the operating member 24271. The bottom 2411 of the box body 2410 penetrates the driving member 24272 and forms a column 412 located between the first end 24272A and the second end 24272B. The elastic member 24273 is located between the first end 24272A of the driving member 24272 and the column 412, and abuts the first end 24272A of the driving member 24272 and the column 412. The operating member 24271 includes a cam structure 24271A. The cam structure 24271A is at least partially located in the receiving groove 24272D. The cam structure 24271A can slide by pressing against the driving member 24272 when the operating member 24271 rotates. The reset member 24276 is connected to the first locking member 24274 and is used to disengage the first locking member 24274 from the locking notch 24275A.When the operating member 24271 switches from the unlocking position shown in FIG. 15E to the locking position shown in FIG. 15D, the elastic member 24273 is released to move the driving member 24272 in the first direction D1, and the first end 24272A of the driving member 24272 engages the corresponding locking notch 24275A of the first locking member 24274 along the first direction D1. Also, when the operating member 24271 switches from the unlocking position shown in FIG. 15E to the locking position shown in FIG. 15D, the cam structure 24271A contacts only the first side wall W1 of the receiving groove 24272D and does not contact the second side wall W2 of the receiving groove 24272D (that is, a retreat space S2 is formed between the cam structure 24271A and the second side wall W2 of the receiving groove 24272D to allow the driving member 24272 to move in the second direction D2 opposite to the first direction D1). When the first locking member 24274 engages the corresponding locking notch 24275A, the retractor 2424 cannot rotate. When the operating member 24271 switches from the locking position shown in FIG. 15D to the unlocking position shown in FIG. 15E, the cam structure 24271A of the operating member 24271 presses against the first side wall W1 of the receiving groove 24272D to move the driving member 24272 in the second direction D2, gradually reducing the retreat space S2 until the second side wall W2 of the receiving groove 24272D contacts the cam structure 24271A, thereby elastically compressing the elastic member 24273, and the reset member 24276 disengages the first locking member 24274 from the corresponding locking notch 24275A in the second direction D2 to allow the retractor 2424 to rotate. That is, in the pet carrier 2400 of this embodiment, the user can operate the operating member 24271 of the locking device 2427 according to actual needs to lock the retractor 2424, limit the winding and extension of the restraint belt 2421, or operate the operating member 24271 of the locking device 2427 to release the retractor 2424 to allow the restraint belt 2421 to be wound or extended. However, the configuration of the locking device of the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in other embodiments, the locking device may not include an elastic member and a reset member, and the operating member may be slidably provided at the bottom of the box body, and the driving member is engaged or disengaged with the locking notch by sliding.In yet another embodiment, the locking device includes only one second locking member located on one side of the retractor, and the second locking member can include one or more locking notches.
[0174] As shown in FIG. 15F, in this embodiment, both ends of the reset member 24276 are respectively connected to the first locking member 24274 and the bracket 24241 of the retractor 2424. On the side of the bracket 24241 close to the second locking member 2475, a chute 24241A is formed through which the opposite end of the first locking member 24274 is slid and bored. The longitudinal axis direction of each chute 24241A is parallel to the first direction D1. A rotating member 24242 is also provided on the side of the bracket 24241 so as to be rotatable relative to the bracket 24241. A slot 24242A is formed in the rotating member 24242, and the extending direction of the slot 24242A is inclined with respect to the first direction D1. When the restraining webbing 2421 is pulled so that the rotating member 24242 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the first locking member 24274 moves along the first direction D1 through the slot 24242A, the chute 24241A and the first locking member 24274 and engages with the locking notch 24275A, so that the restraining webbing 2421 can be prevented from stretching. Other configurations of this embodiment are the same as those of the second embodiment and have similar various variations. For the sake of brevity, the description is omitted here.
[0175] Furthermore, in another embodiment, it is understood that the restraining belt to which the fastener is connected can also pass through the adjuster without connecting the retractor.
[0176] Also, referring to FIGS. 17A to 17D, FIG. 17A is a schematic external view of a pet carrier 2600 according to a sixth embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure, FIG. 17B is a schematic cross-sectional view of the pet carrier 2600 according to the sixth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, and FIGS. 17C and 17D are schematic views of a stopper member 2628 of the sixth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure from different viewpoints. As shown in FIGS. 17A to 17D, the pet carrier 2600 of this embodiment includes a box body 2610 and a restraint device 2620. Different from the pet carrier 2400 of the fourth embodiment, the fastener 2626 of the restraint device 2620 of this embodiment includes a connecting portion 26261 and a buckle portion 26262 rotatably connected to the connecting portion 26261 in order to avoid winding of the restraint webbing 2621. That is, the fastener 2626 of this embodiment is the same as the fastener 2526 of the fifth embodiment. The restraint device 2620 includes a stopper member 2628 but does not include a locking device. The stopper member 2628 is provided on the restraint webbing 2621 and abuts against the bottom portion 2611 of the box body 2610 to limit the winding length of the restraint belt 2621 wound by the retractor in order to avoid the length of the restraint belt 2621 in the accommodation space being too short. Preferably, the length of the restraint belt 2621 in the accommodation space (that is, the length of the restraint belt 2621 exposed from the bottom portion 2611 of the box body 2610) may generally not exceed the height at which the peripheral wall 2612 of the box body 2610 protrudes from the bottom portion 2611 (for example, between 30 and 40 cm, but not limited thereto).
[0177] Specifically, the stopper member 2628 may be a rectangular-shaped webbing buckle. The rectangular-shaped webbing buckle is formed with a plurality of convex teeth 26281. By contacting the restraint webbing 2621 and increasing the friction of the rectangular-shaped webbing buckle acting on the restraint webbing 2621, the stopper member 2628 can be positioned at an arbitrary position on the restraint webbing. However, the structure of the stopper member of the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. For example, referring to FIGS. 18A to 19D, FIG. 18A shows a schematic external view of a seventh embodiment of the pet carrier 2700 according to the second aspect of the present disclosure, FIG. 18B shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the seventh embodiment of the pet carrier 2700 according to the second aspect of the present disclosure, FIGS. 18C and 18D show views of the stopper member 2728 of the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure from different perspectives, FIG. 19A shows a schematic external view of an eighth embodiment of the pet carrier 2800 according to the second aspect of the present disclosure, FIG. 19B shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the eighth embodiment of the pet carrier 2800 according to the second aspect of the present disclosure, FIG. 19C shows a schematic view of the stopper member 2828 of the eighth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, and FIG. 19D shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the stopper member 2828 of the eighth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 18A to 18D, different from the stopper member 2628 of the sixth embodiment, the stopper member 2728 of this embodiment may be a webbing ring. The webbing ring is formed with a plurality of convex teeth 27281 that can contact the restraint webbing 2721 to increase the friction of the webbing ring acting on the restraint webbing 2721. As shown in FIGS. 19A to 19D, different from the stopper member 2628 of the sixth embodiment, the stopper member 2828 of this embodiment may be a webbing clip. The webbing clip is formed with at least one convex tooth 28281 that can contact the restraint webbing 2821 to increase the friction of the webbing clip acting on the restraint webbing 2821.
[0178] Other configurations of this embodiment are the same as those of the fourth embodiment and have similar various variations. For the sake of brevity, the description is omitted here.
[0179] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the elongation length of the restraint webbing can also be restricted using a similar stopper member mechanism or other mechanisms.
[0180] Compared with the prior art, the pet carrier according to the second aspect of the present disclosure can cooperate with the connecting member of the pet collar worn by the pet by means of a restraint belt provided in the bottom opening to restrict the pet within the accommodation space. Therefore, the pet carrier according to the second aspect of the present disclosure can enhance the boarding safety of the pet.
[0181] In addition, the pet carrier according to the second aspect of the present disclosure may be provided with an integrated fixing device (for example, the "integrated fixing device" described in each embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure) for attachment to a vehicle seat. That is, there is no need to attach another fixing base or a base for attaching support legs, and it can be stably fixed directly to the vehicle seat by the integrated fixing device.
[0182] In a third aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a pet travel system (travel system, travel system, driving system) or an animal travel system, particularly a pet travel system or an animal travel system for fixing a pet or an animal to a vehicle. Specifically, the pet travel system includes a pet or animal wearing a wearable such as a chest harness or a vest, and a pet travel device for fixing such a wearable for the pet. The pet travel system according to the present disclosure can provide secure support for a pet or an animal in a vehicle to prevent the pet from colliding or being injured due to a sudden change in the speed of the vehicle.
[0183] Referring to FIG. 20, a pet moving device 310 according to the present disclosure includes a pet carrier 312 and a base 314 that can be attached and fixed to the base 314. The base 314 may be attached to a vehicle (not shown), and the pet carrier 312 may be mechanically attached to the base 314 via locking mechanisms (not shown) provided on the bottom of the pet carrier 312 and the base 314, respectively. The pet carrier 312 mainly includes a seat portion 3121 and a box portion 3122 (also referred to as a “box body” and the same as the “box body” in the first and second aspects of the present disclosure) embedded in the seat portion 3121, and may optionally include a removable handle 3123 (also referred to as a “portable handle”) coupled to the opposite side of the pet carrier 312 via pivots 3123A and 3123B (also referred to as “attachment mechanisms”). Depending on practical considerations and expectations, the seat portion 3121 is made of plastic, wood, metal, or a hard material and has a function of attaching the base 314 by a locking lever (not shown) or the like. The box portion 3122 that defines the accommodation space S3 for the pet can be made of a cushioning material or a foaming material such as EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPS (expandable polystyrene), in order to reduce the impact on the pet housed in the box portion 3122 due to a rapid change in vehicle speed. Optionally, the height of the box portion 3122 can cover some or all of the pivots 3123A and 3123B to protect the body or head of the pet from directly hitting the handle 3123.
[0184] According to the present disclosure, when wearing a wearable such as a chest belt or a pet collar, a pet or an animal (such as a dog) may be restrained and fixed within the box portion 3122 of the pet moving device 310. The pet moving device 310 and the wearable (which will be further described below) are designed and configured to provide stable and safe support for the pet by combining the pet moving device and the wearable. More specifically, the pet moving system of the present disclosure (including the pet moving device 310 and the wearable for the pet) can, for example, apply a supporting force to the body of the pet or animal at least at the position of the scapula, as shown in FIG. 21, to achieve safe and stable support for the pet or animal during the running of the vehicle.
[0185] Pet carrier: Referring to FIGS. 22 to 34, these figures schematically show pet moving devices, particularly pet carriers, in various embodiments of the present disclosure. In these figures, for clarity, the handle of the pet carrier according to the present disclosure is omitted. Further, the numbers of the embodiments, for example, the first, the second, etc., are used only to distinguish these embodiments and do not indicate any preference for these embodiments. Referring to FIG. 22, FIG. 22 schematically shows a plan view of a pet carrier 332 of a pet moving device in the first embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure. The pet carrier 332 as shown includes a box portion 3322 fitted in a seat portion (not shown) and a removable handle (not shown). The box portion 3322 and the pet carrier 332 are substantially rectangular, and the handle is coupled to the opposing long sides of the pet carrier 332. In this embodiment, the handle is connected to the pet carrier 332 at a position close to the front portion (the direction indicated by the arrow F) of the pet carrier 332. For example, when the pet carrier 332 is attached to the base (not shown) of the vehicle, the handle can be removed from the pet carrier 332.
[0186] In this embodiment, the pet carrier 332 includes two grooves 3324A and 3324B (also referred to as "bottom openings") formed in and penetrating through its bottom. More specifically, the grooves 3324A and 3324B are formed and open on the bottom 3322B of the box portion 3322, and penetrate through the seat portion of the pet carrier 332 so that the corresponding belts (hereinafter referred to as "shoulder belts") 336A and 336B can pass through. The pet carrier 332 further includes a box belt 338 that protrudes from the groove 3326 and is fixed to the bottom 3322B of the box portion 3322 and is located near the rear portion (in the direction indicated by the arrow R) of the pet carrier 332. In this embodiment, two shoulder belts 336A and 336B can be connected to the box belt 338 to restrain a pet or an animal in the box portion 3322. As shown in FIG. 22, the shoulder belts 336A and 336B include corresponding tongue members 3362A and 3362B connected to their ends, and the box belt 338 includes, at its ends, buckle clips 3382 into which the tongue members 3362A and 3362B are inserted or engaged to enable buckling. Optionally, the shoulder belts 336A and 336B can be latched to the box belt 338 by various clip devices 3382 including, but not limited to, clips, cam locks, fasteners, lock catches, hasps, and snap locks.
[0187] Referring to FIG. 23, FIG. 23 schematically shows a plan view of a pet carrier 342 of a pet moving device in a second embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure. The illustrated pet carrier 342 has a structure and configuration similar to that of the pet carrier 332, and includes a box body 3422, grooves 3424A and 3424B formed in the bottom 3422B of the box body 3422 of the pet carrier 342, shoulder belts 346A and 346B, and clip devices such as corresponding tongue members 3462A and 3462B of the shoulder belts 346A and 346B.
[0188] The pet carrier 342 is different from the pet carrier 332 in FIG. 22 in that, in this embodiment, the pet carrier 342 includes two box belts 348A and 348B disposed on opposite long sides of the box portion 3422 and located at corresponding positions close to the rear portion (the direction indicated by the arrow R) of the pet carrier 342. More specifically, the pet carrier 342 includes pairs of grooves 3426A, 3426B (optionally, pairs of grooves 3426C, 3426D) formed in each of the opposite long sides of the box portion 3422 at positions close to the rear portion. As shown in FIG. 23, pairs of grooves 3426A, 3426B and pairs of grooves 3426C, 3426D are formed in the corresponding long sides of the box portion 3422 and are spaced apart by a predetermined distance. The paired box belts 348A and 348B may be optionally arranged to extend from the grooves 3426A and 3426B, or arranged to extend from the grooves 3426C and 3426D, depending on the size of the pet accommodated in the box portion 3422. In this embodiment, both the pairs of grooves 3426A and 3426B and the pairs of grooves 3426C and 3426D are formed so as to penetrate the bottom 3422B of the box portion 3422 and the bottom of the seat portion (not shown), and the paired box belts 348A and 348B can protrude from the back (i.e., the seat portion) of the pet carrier 342 and be exposed to the box portion 3422. When the box belts 348A and 348B protrude fittingly from the corresponding grooves 3426A and 3426B, or from the paired grooves 3426C and 3426D, they can be held in place by corresponding fixing members (e.g., fixing member 3484A).
[0189] Similarly, the shoulder belts 346A and 346B can be latched to their respective box belts 348A and 348B by various buckle devices 3482A and 3482B including, but not limited to, buckle clips, cam locks, fasteners, locks, snaps, spring locks, etc.
[0190] Referring to FIG. 24, FIG. 24 schematically shows a plan view of a pet carrier 352 of a pet moving device in a third embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure. The illustrated pet carrier 352 has a structure and configuration similar to that of the pet carrier 342, and includes a box body 3522, grooves 3524A and 3524B formed in a bottom 3522B of the box body 3522 of the pet carrier 352, shoulder belts 356A and 356B, and buckle devices such as tongue members 3562A and 3562B of the corresponding shoulder belts 356A and 356B.
[0191] The difference between the pet carrier 352 and the pet carrier 342 in FIG. 23 is that, in this embodiment, the box belts 358A and 358B are connected to their respective adjustment belts 3586A and 3586B, or optionally, are connected to their respective adjustment belts 3586C and 3586D and fixed to the box portion 3522. More specifically, a pair of adjustment belts 3586A and 3586B (and optionally a pair of adjustment belts 3586C and 3586D) are fixed to the bottom 3522B of the box portion 3522 at a position close to the rear portion (the direction indicated by arrow R) of the pet carrier 352. As shown in FIG. 24, pairs of adjustment belts 3586A, 3586B, and pairs of adjustment belts 3586C, 3586D are fixed to respective long sides of the box portion 3522 and are spaced apart by a predetermined distance. Free ends of the adjustment belts 3586A, 3586B, 3586C, 3586D are connected to ladder locks 3584A, 3584B, 3584C, 3584D, are connected to the corresponding box belts 358A, 358B, and are further connected to the corresponding shoulder belts 356A, 356B. In other words, the shoulder belts 356A and 356B can latch onto the box belts 358A and 358B attached to the adjustment belts 3586A and 3586B or the adjustment belts 3586C and 3586D, optionally, according to the size of the pet accommodated in the box portion 3522.
[0192] Similarly, shoulder belts 356A and 356B can latch to respective box belts 358A and 358B by various buckle devices 3582A and 3582B including, but not limited to, buckle clips, cam locks, fasteners, locks, snaps, spring locks, and the like.
[0193] Referring to FIG. 25, FIG. 25 schematically shows a plan view of a pet carrier 362 of a pet moving device in a fourth embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure. The illustrated pet carrier 362 has a structure and configuration similar to that of the pet carrier 352, and includes a box body 3622, grooves 3624A and 3624B formed in a bottom 3622B of the box body 3622B of the pet carrier 362, and buckle devices such as tongue members 3662A and 3662B of corresponding shoulder belts 366A and 366B. Also, the design and configuration of the box belts shown in FIG. 23 or FIG. 24 (e.g., grooves, adjustment buckles, and adjustment belts with ladder locks) are suitable for the box belts 368A and 368B of this embodiment.
[0194] The difference between the pet carrier 362 and the pet carrier 352 in Fig. 24 is that, in this embodiment, shoulder belts 366A and 366B are coupled to a pet harness 365 (or bib) for wearing by a pet or animal. More specifically, the pet harness 365 includes, for example, four strips 3651 to 3654 extending from its center. As shown in Fig. 25, in this embodiment, the free ends of the paired shoulder strips 3651 and 3652 are respectively connected to a male buckle 3651A and a female buckle 3652A so that the paired shoulder strips 3651 and 3652 are buckled to surround the body of the pet or animal. Similarly, the free ends of the paired back strips 3653 and 3654 are buckled to surround the body of the pet or animal around the chest or abdomen and are connected to corresponding male buckles 3653A and female buckles 3654A. Strips 3651 and 3653 are respectively anchored to shoulder belt 366A at their determined positions (for example, the centers of strips 3651 and 3653). Similarly, strips 3652 and 3654 are respectively anchored to shoulder belt 366B at their determined positions (for example, the centers of strips 3652 and 3654). In this way, when the tongue-like members 3662A and 3662B are inserted or engaged with the respective buckle clips 3682A and 3682B, the pet carrier 362 can provide relatively stable and safe support for the pet.
[0195] In addition, when the pet restrained in the pet carrier does not want to wear or refuses to wear the wearable, or when the pet owner does not want the pet to wear the wearable, the pet can be carried by a wearable integrating the pet carrier 362 with belts 366A and 366B. By integrating a wearable such as a bib or a pull with the belt of the pet carrier, the discomfort and tension of the pet can be reduced.
[0196] Similarly, shoulder belts 366A and 366B can latch to their respective box belts 368A and 368B by various buckle devices including, but not limited to, buckle clips, cam locks, fasteners, locks, snaps, spring locks, and the like.
[0197] Figures 26A and 26B schematically show bottom views of the pet carriers of the first, second, third, and fourth embodiments of the third aspect of the present disclosure, particularly the seat portions of the pet carriers (e.g., pet carriers 332, 342, 352, and 362). More specifically, a seat portion 3721 as shown in Figures 26A and 26B is adapted to a box portion 3322, 3422, 3522, or 3622, which means that the box portions 3322, 3422, 3522, and 3622 may be fitted into the seat portion 3721 of Figures 26A and 26B.
[0198] The seat portion 3721 can be coupled to a base for attachment to a vehicle (not shown) by joining two lock levers 378A and 378B provided on a bottom portion 3721B and a base seat attachment portion (e.g., the seat attachment portion 3154 shown in Figure 34). In this embodiment, the two lock levers 378A and 378B are provided parallel to the long sides of the seat portion 3721, and through the two lock levers 378A and 378B, the pet carrier can be coupled parallel to the base seat and the rear seat of the vehicle in the lateral direction of the base (i.e., the direction indicated by arrow R).
[0199] As shown in FIG. 26A, the seat portion 3721 includes two grooves 3724A and 3724B that penetrate the bottom 3721B of the seat portion 3721 and the bottom of a box portion (not shown). Two belts 376A and 376B (hereinafter referred to as “back bands”) extend from grooves formed in the bottom of the box portion (for example, grooves 3324A, 3324B, 3424A, 3424B, 3524A, 3524B, and 3624A, 3624B) and pass through the corresponding grooves 3724A and 3724B to be exposed, and can be used as the above-described shoulder belts (for example, shoulder belts 336A, 336B, 346A, 346B, 356A, 356B, and 366A, 366B). The two back bands 376A and 376B are anchored to a connection portion 3762, and a fixing strip 3764 is connected to the connection portion 3762. The connection portion 3762 may be an individual connector such as a T-shaped connection portion or a clamp, or may be formed by stitching the two back bands 376A and 376B. The seat portion 3721 is provided with a positioning fastener 3726 (also referred to as a “fixing mechanism”) at the center of the short side of the seat portion 3721 at a position close to the rear of the pet carrier (in the direction indicated by arrow R). The fixing strip 3764 passing through the positioning fastener 3726 can be fixed at a determined position so that the length of the fixing strip 3764 is fixed after adjustment. In other words, the tightness of the fixing strip 3764 and the back bands 376A and 376B can be adjusted by positioning the positioning fastener 3726 so as to fit a pet or an animal fixed to the box by the shoulder strip as described above.
[0200] In this embodiment, fixed blocks 3781A, 3782A, 3781B, and 3782B are provided at both ends of each of the lock levers 378A and 378B on the bottom 3721B of the seat portion 3721. More specifically, the fixed blocks 3781A and 3782A are located at both ends of the lock lever 378A, and the fixed blocks 3781B and 3782B are located at both ends of the lock lever 378B. When the lock levers 378A and 378B are attached to the corresponding restraining portions of the seat attachment portion (for example, the corresponding restraining portions 3154A and 3154B of the seat attachment portion 3154 shown in FIG. 34), the lock levers 378A and 378B can be restricted from moving because they are blocked by the fixed blocks 3781A and 3782A, 3781B and 3782B arranged at both ends. Further, by providing the fixed blocks 3781A and 3782A, 3781B and 3782B at both ends, the attachment strength and stability of the lock levers 378A and 378B to the seat portion 3721 can be enhanced. In this embodiment, the fixed blocks 3781A, 3782A, 3781B, 3782B may be integrally formed with the seat portion 3721 of the pet carrier. Optionally, the fixed block may be a separate structure that is appropriately attached to the seat portion of the pet carrier.
[0201] According to the present disclosure, the positioning fastener 3726 enables a user (pet owner) to adjust the looseness of the back pad, thereby adjusting the looseness of the shoulder strap and fixing the length of the fixing strap in a simple manner. For this purpose, the positioning fastener 3726 can include, but is not limited to, a so-called "A-type lock", a buckle or a lock clip, a pulley lock, and the like. In this embodiment, the positioning fastener 3726 may be an "A-type lock" known to those skilled in the art and commonly used in conventional safety seats.
[0202] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 26B, a pet carrier (e.g., pet carriers 332, 342, 352, 362) can be coupled to a base (not shown) attached to the vehicle by lock levers 378A' and 378B' disposed laterally in the longitudinal direction of the seat portion 3721. In other words, by the two lock levers 378A' and 378B', the pet carrier can be coupled to the base in a direction parallel to the base (i.e., laterally with respect to the rear seat of the vehicle indicated by arrow R). In this embodiment, the fixed strip 3764 can be housed in the space between the lock levers 378A' and 378B' that are paired with the bottom 3721B of the seat portion 3721 to avoid rocking.
[0203] Regarding a pet carrier having grooves for at least one pair of box belts (e.g., pet carrier 342 shown in FIG. 23), the paired grooves may be formed to penetrate the bottom of the box portion (not shown in the drawing) and the bottom 3721B of the seat portion 3721 so that the paired box belts (e.g., box belts 348A and 348B) protrude therefrom and are exposed inside the box portion.
[0204] Referring to FIG. 27, FIG. 27 schematically shows a plan view of a pet carrier 382 of a pet moving device in a fifth embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure. The illustrated pet carrier 382 has a structure and configuration similar to that of the pet carrier 352, and includes a box portion 3822, shoulder belts 386A and 386B, box belts 388A and 388B, adjustment belts 3886A to 3886D having corresponding ladder locks 3884A to 3884D connected to their free ends, buckle devices such as tongue members 3862A and 3862B of the corresponding shoulder belts 386A and 386B, and buckle devices such as buckle clips 3882A and 3882B.
[0205] The pet carrier 382 is different from the pet carrier 352 in FIG. 24 in that, in this embodiment, four grooves 3824A to 3824D are formed in the bottom 3822B of the box portion 3822. The paired grooves 3824C and 3824D are formed closer to the front portion (the direction indicated by the arrow F) of the pet carrier 382 than the paired grooves 3824A and 3824B. The two pairs of grooves 3824A and 3824B, 3824C and 3824D provide the ability to adjust the shoulder belts 386A and 386B to accommodate pets of different sizes. More specifically, when the size of the pet is relatively small, the shoulder belts 386A and 386B can selectively protrude from the grooves 3824A and 3824B in order to latch onto the box belts 388A and 388B connected to the adjustment belts 3886C and 3886D. When the size of the pet is relatively large, the shoulder belts 386A and 386B can protrude from the grooves 3824C and 3824D in order to latch onto the box belts 388A and 388B connected to the adjustment belts 3886A and 3886B.
[0206] Similarly, the shoulder belts 386A and 386B can be latched to their respective box belts 388A and 388B by various buckle devices including, but not limited to, buckle clips 3882A and 3882B, cam locks, fasteners, locks, snaps, spring locks, etc.
[0207] Referring to FIG. 28, FIG. 28 schematically shows a plan view of a pet carrier 392 of a pet moving device in a sixth embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure. The illustrated pet carrier 392 has a structure and configuration similar to that of the pet carrier 382, including a box portion 3922, shoulder belts 396A and 396B, grooves 3924A to 3924D formed in the bottom 3922B of the box portion 3922B, buckle devices such as tongue members 3962A and 3962B of the corresponding shoulder belts 396A and 396B, box belts 98A and 98B, and buckle devices such as buckle clips 3982A and 3982B.
[0208] As a difference between the pet carrier 392 and the pet carrier 382 in FIG. 27, in this embodiment, the adjustment belts 3986A to 3986D are arranged on the bottom 3922B of the box portion 3922, rather than on the opposite long sides thereof. As shown in FIG. 28, on the bottom 3922B of the box portion 3922, the paired adjustment belts 3986A and 3986B are formed at positions closer to the rear portion (the direction indicated by the arrow R) of the pet carrier 392 than the paired adjustment belts 3986C and 3986D. In this embodiment, the interval between the paired adjustment belts 3986A and 3986B (or 3986C and 3986D) is made smaller. The pet carrier 392 is suitable for fixing a pet with a relatively slender body compared to the above pet carrier 382.
[0209] Similarly, the shoulder belts 396A and 396B can be latched to the respective box belts 98A and 98B by various buckle devices including, but not limited to, buckle clips 3982A and 3982B, cam locks, fasteners, locks, snaps, and spring locks.
[0210] FIG. 29 schematically shows a bottom view of the pet carriers (e.g., pet carrier 382 or 392) according to the fifth and sixth embodiments of the third aspect of the present disclosure. More specifically, the seat portion 31021 as shown in FIG. 29 is adapted to the box portion 3822 or 3922, which means that the box portion 3822 or 3922 may be fitted into the seat portion 31021 of FIG. 29.
[0211] The seat portion 31021 can be coupled to a base (not shown) attached to a vehicle by the engagement of two lock levers 3108A and 3108B arranged on the bottom 31021B and the base seat attachment portion.
[0212] As shown in FIG. 29, the seat portion 31021 has the same structure and configuration as the seat portion 3721 of FIGS. 26A and 26B, and includes back bands 3106A and 3106B, fixing strips 31064, and positioning fasteners 31026. The difference between the seat portion 31021 as shown in the figure and the seat portion 3721 of FIGS. 26A and 26B is that, in this embodiment, it has four grooves 31024A to 31024D formed in and penetrating the bottom portion 31021B of the seat portion 31021. The paired grooves 31024C and 31024D are formed at a position closer to the front portion (the direction indicated by the arrow F) of the seat portion 31021 than the paired grooves 31024A and 31024B. The two pairs of grooves 31024A and 31024B, 31024C and 31024D provide the ability to adjust a shoulder belt (not shown) to accommodate pets of different sizes. More specifically, when the body shape of the pet is small, the back bands 3106A and 3106B may selectively protrude from the grooves 31024A and 31024B so as to extend out and be exposed from the grooves (grooves 3824A and 3824B shown in FIG. 27 and grooves 3924A and 3924B shown in FIG. 28) formed in the bottom portion of the box portion. Alternatively, when the body shape of the pet is large, the back bands 3106A and 3106B may selectively protrude from the grooves 31024C and 31024D so as to project out and be exposed as a shoulder belt for exposure from the grooves (grooves 3824C and 3824D shown in FIG. 27 and grooves 3924C and 3924D shown in FIG. 28) formed in the bottom portion of the box portion.
[0213] Also, in this embodiment, the connecting portion 31062 is a T-shaped connecting member that connects the two back bands 3106A and 3106B and the fixing strip 31064. More specifically, the two back bands 3106A and 3106B are connected to the connecting portion 31062 by passing the corresponding rings formed at the free ends of each fixing strip 3106A and 3106B through the two arms of the T-shaped connecting member. The fixing strip 31064 is connected to the connecting portion 31062, particularly the pillar of the T-shaped connecting member, and is used to quickly and easily change the protrusion of the back bands 3106A and 3106B in different grooves. For example, the back bands 3106A and 31024B are protruded from the paired grooves 31024A and 31024B, or the back bands 3106A and 3106B are protruded from the paired grooves 31024C and 31024D. As shown in FIG. 29, the adjustable fixing strip 31064 with one end connected to the connecting portion 31062 can pass through the positioning fastener 31026 and be fixed at a determined position for fixing the length of the adjusted fixing strip 31064. In other words, the looseness of the fixing strip 31064 and the back bands 3106A and 3106B can be adjusted with the positioning fastener 31026, and it can be adapted to a pet or animal fixed to the box portion via the shoulder belt as described above.
[0214] Similarly, in this embodiment, the positioning fastener 31026 is an "A-type lock". However, the present disclosure is not limited to this.
[0215] Referring to FIG. 30, FIG. 30 schematically shows a plan view of a pet carrier of a pet moving device in a seventh embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure. The illustrated pet carrier 3112 has a structure and structure similar to that of the pet carrier 352, and includes a box body 31122 and buckle devices such as tongue-like members 31166A and 31166B and corresponding shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B. Also, the main design and structure of the box belt shown in FIG. 24 (for example, an adjustment buckle, an adjustment belt with a ladder lock) are suitable for the box belts 3118A and 3118B of this embodiment.
[0216] The differences between the pet carrier 3112 as shown in the figure and the pet carrier 352 in FIG. 24 are that, in this embodiment, there is only one groove 31124 formed in the bottom 31122B of the box portion 31122, and the shoulder belt has a Y-shaped structure. More specifically, the Y-shaped belt includes an extending segment 3116 and two individual shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B, and the two shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B are connected to the extending segment 3116 via a connecting portion 31162. The groove 31124 penetrates the bottom 31122B of the box portion 31122 and a seat portion (not shown) so that the extending segment 3116 of the Y-shaped belt can extend from the bottom of the seat portion and be connected to the shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B via the connecting portion 31162. The shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B include buckle devices, for example, tongue-like members 31166A and 31166B connected to respective ends, which are used to be fixed to the buckle devices and are the buckle clips 31182A and 31182B of the respective box belts 3118A and 3118B. Similarly, the shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B can latch onto the paired box belts 3118A and 3118, and the paired box belts 3118A and 3118 can be selected according to the size of the pet accommodated in the box portion 31122 and are connected to the adjustment belts 31186A and 31186B, or are connected to the adjustment belts 31186C and 31186D.
[0217] Similarly, the shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B can latch onto the respective box belts 3118A and 3118 by various buckle devices including, but not limited to, buckle clips, cam locks, fasteners, locks, snaps, and spring locks.
[0218] FIG. 31 schematically shows a bottom view of a pet carrier (e.g., pet carrier 3112) in the seventh embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure. More specifically, a seat portion 31221 as shown in FIG. 31 is adapted to a box portion 31122, which means that the box portion 31122 can be fitted into the seat portion 31221 of FIG. 31.
[0219] The seat portion 31221 can be coupled to a base (not shown) attached to a vehicle by the joining of two lock levers 3128A and 3128B disposed at the bottom 31221B and a base seat attachment portion.
[0220] As shown in FIG. 31, the seat portion 31221 includes a groove 31224 that penetrates the bottom 31221B thereof and the bottom of the box portion (not shown). The groove 31224 corresponds to the groove 31124 shown in FIG. 30. A belt (hereinafter referred to as a "back band") 3126 passes through the groove 31224 and protrudes from the groove 31124 formed in the bottom 31122B of the box portion 31122 (as shown in FIG. 30), where it is retained and can be held as an extending segment 3116 of the Y-shaped belt (as shown in FIG. 30). Similarly, at the center of the short side of the seat portion 31221, at a position near the rear of the pet carrier (in the direction indicated by arrow R), a positioning fastener 31226 is provided on the seat portion 31221. A fixing strip 31264 passing through the positioning fastener 31226 can be fixed at a determined position so that the length of the fixing strip 31264 is fixed after adjustment. In other words, by the positioning fastener 31226, the looseness of the fixing strip 31264 and the Y-shaped strip can be adjusted to correspond to a pet or animal fixed to the box portion via the shoulder of the Y-shaped strip as described above.
[0221] Similarly, in this embodiment, the positioning fastener 31226 is an "A-type lock", and the user (pet owner) can adjust the looseness of the Y-shaped belt and fix the length of the fixing belt in a simple manner. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0222] Referring to FIGS. 32 and 33, a pet carrier of a pet moving device according to an eighth embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure is shown. Here, FIG. 32 schematically shows a plan view of a box portion 31322 of the pet carrier 3132 in this embodiment, and FIG. 33 schematically shows a bottom view of a seat portion 31421 of the pet carrier 3132 in this embodiment. Also, FIGS. 32A, 32B, 33A, and 33B schematically show enlarged views of various positioning fasteners of the pet carrier, respectively. The seat portion 31421 can be coupled to a base (not shown) attached to a vehicle by joining two lock levers 3148A and 3148B disposed at a bottom portion 31421B and a mounting mechanism of the base.
[0223] A pet carrier 3132 including a box portion 31322 and a seat portion 31421 as shown in the figure is different from the pet carriers of the above embodiments. As shown in FIG. 32, fastening belts 3136A and 3136B are extending from the seat portion 31421 at a predetermined interval from each other via an interface between a bottom portion 31322B and a long side L1 of the box portion 31322. The fixing belts 3138A and 3138B are fixed to another long side L2 (opposite to side L1) at a predetermined interval. The fastening belts 3136A and 3136B are fixed to the fixing belts 3138A and 3138B by appropriate buckle devices. Optionally, the fixing belts 3138A and 3138B can adopt the same structure and installation as the box belts (e.g., the box belt 348B in FIG. 23) in the foregoing embodiments, that is, the fixing belts 3138A and 3138B protrude from a groove or a bottom opening provided in the bottom portion 31322B and can be fixed to the bottom portion 31322B. For example, they can be fixed to an interface between the bottom portion 31322B and the other long side L2.
[0224] As shown in FIG. 33, two fixing strips 31364A and 31364B, as the above-mentioned fixing strips 3136A and 3136B, pass through corresponding grooves formed at the interface between the bottom 31421B and one long side L1 of the seat portion 31421 (or the box portion 31322), and can extend therefrom and be exposed to the bottom 31322B. The fixing strips 31364A and 31364B (one end of each fixing strip passes through the respective positioning fasteners 31326A or 31326B) can be fixed at a determined position for fixing the lengths of the fixing strips 31364A and 31364B after adjustment. In other words, the fixing strips 31364A and 31364B can adjust the slack of the fixing strips 31364A and 31364B, as well as the fastening belts 3136A and 3136B, so as to adapt to a pet or an animal fixed to the box portion via a shoulder belt as described above.
[0225] In this embodiment, the positioning fasteners 31326A and 31326B can enable a user (a pet owner) to adjust the slack of the fastening belt in a simple manner and fix the length of the fixing strip. For this purpose, the positioning fastener can include, but is not limited to, a so-called "A-lock", a clip or a locking clip, a pulley lock, a cam buckle, a tri-glide buckle, etc. In this embodiment, the positioning fasteners 31326A and 31326B may be cam fasteners (the positioning fastener 31326A shown in FIGS. 32A and 33A), or may be tri-glide buckles (the positioning fastener 31326A shown in FIGS. 32B and 33B).
[0226] Note that the webbing, belts, and strips of the pet carrier according to the present disclosure can be made of the same material as the vehicle seat belt, and thus exhibit increased safety strength.
[0227] Referring to FIG. 34, a perspective view of the base of the pet moving device in an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0228] The base 315 as illustrated can be attached to a vehicle (not shown), with its load leg 3152 contacting the floor of the vehicle, and the pet carrier according to the present disclosure can be mechanically attached via a locking mechanism (e.g., two locking levers) at the bottom of the pet carrier (not shown). More specifically, the base 315 is firmly attached to an anchor point on a vehicle seat (not shown), such as its ISOFIX connector 3156. The load leg 3152 of the base 315 can extend to the floor of the vehicle. When the load leg 3152 is in full contact with the vehicle floor pan, the base 315 can be firmly supported.
[0229] The base 315 includes a seat attachment portion 3154 for receiving and fixing the seat portion of the pet carrier, and the pet carrier can be firmly attached to the base 315. More specifically, the pet carrier according to the present disclosure can firmly latch the seat portion by latching a locking lever (e.g., locking levers 378A and 378B, 378A' and 378B', 3108A and 3108B, 3128A and 3128B, 3148A and 3148B as described above) provided at the bottom of the seat portion to corresponding restraint portions 3154A and 3154B of the seat attachment portion 3154. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the seat attachment portion 3154 of the base 315 is rotatable, whereby, for example, the direction of the pet carrier can change with the rotation of the seat attachment portion 3154 from a lateral direction with respect to the vehicle seat to a direction parallel to the vehicle seat.
[0230] To carry a pet through the pet moving device (including the pet carrier and the base) according to the present disclosure and to fix the pet to the vehicle through this pet moving device, the pet owner makes the pet wear a wearable including a pet choke chain 316 (also called a "pet pull"), a chest pad 3162, and webbing rings 3164A and 3164B thereon, as shown in FIG. 35. Preferably, the wearable is designed to adapt to the pet carrier according to the present disclosure.
[0231] Wearables for Pets: According to the present disclosure, wearables such as pet collars and leashes can preferably be designed to fit the pet carriers of the previous embodiments.
[0232] Figures 36A - 36F schematically show perspective views of respective wearables in various embodiments of the present disclosure. Since the main structures of the wearables are similar to commercially available wearables known to those skilled in the art, they are not repeated here so as not to confuse the features of the present disclosure.
[0233] The collar shown in Figure 36A may be similar to a conventional collar, which means that currently commercially available collars can also be applied to the pet movement system of the present disclosure, thereby providing strong and stable support to the pet in a moving vehicle. The illustrated collar 317A includes a chest pad 3171, shoulder straps 31710A and 31710B extending from the upper part of the chest pad 3171, and a central strip 31715 connecting the shoulder straps 31710A and 31710B and back belts 31714A and 31714B extending from the lower part of the chest pad 3171. The back belts 31714A and 31714B having respective buckle clips 31713A and 31713B can form a closure structure with the chest pad 3171 for surrounding the upper chest of the pet, and the back belts can form a closure structure with the chest pad 3171 for surrounding the abdomen of the pet. A webbing 31717 is provided on the central strip 31715 by stitching to form a ring with the central strip 31715. The webbing 31717 passes through the ring part 31716 so that the ring part 31716 can move along the webbing 31717 within the ring formed by the webbing 31717 and the central strip 31715. When the collar 317A is worn, the head of the pet faces in the direction indicated by the arrow H.
[0234] Refer to FIG. 36B. The structure and configuration of the bib 317B shown in the figure are similar to those of the bib 317A in FIG. 36A, and include a chest pad 3172, chest strips 31720A and 31720B, back strips 31724A and 31724B, and a central strip 31725 that connects the chest strips 31720A, 31720B and the back strips 31724A, 31724B. The difference between the bib 317B shown in the figure and the bib 317A in FIG. 36A is that in this embodiment, the ring part 31726 is penetrated by the central strip 31725 itself. Further, for example, belts 31721A and 31721B that are respectively attached to the respective chest strips 31720A and 31720B by stitching to form respective rings, and webbing rings 31722A and 31722B that are attached to the respective back strips 31724A and 31724B to form respective rings. When the bib 317B is worn, the pet's head faces in the direction indicated by the arrow H.
[0235] Refer to FIG. 36C. The illustrated bib 317C has a structure and configuration similar to that of the bib 317B in FIG. 36B, and includes a chest pad 3173, chest strips 31730A and 31730B, webbings 31731A and 31731B attached to the chest strips 31730A and 31730B, and back strips 31734A and 31734B. The difference between the two bibs 317C and 317B is that in this embodiment, quick release buckles 31733A, 31733B corresponding to the back strips 31734A and 31734B are provided respectively, and the webbing 31737 is attached to the central strip 31735, for example, by stitching, and is penetrated by the ring part 31736 so that the ring part is movable when a ring is formed by the webbing 31737 and the central strip 31735. Similarly, when the bib 317C is worn, the pet's head faces in the direction indicated by the arrow H.
[0236] Refer to FIG. 36D. The illustrated harness 317D has a structure and construction similar to that of the harness 317B in FIG. 36B, and includes a chest pad 3174, chest strips 31740A and 31740B, back strips 31744A and 31744B, a central strip 31745, and a ring component 31746 penetrated by the central strip 31745. The difference between the two harnesses 317D and 317B is that, in this embodiment, the webbing attached to each belt of the harness 317D is not exposed. More specifically, the webbings 31741A and 31741B are attached to the respective chest strips at positions on the inner surface of the strips, for example, by stitching. The webbings 31742A and 31742B are attached to the back strips corresponding to the positions on the inner surface of the strips, for example, by stitching. In this way, in order to reduce the possibility of being damaged or broken, the corresponding rings formed by the webbing and the chest strip or the back strip are located inside the webbing body. Also, when wearing the harness 317D, the pet's head faces in the direction indicated by the arrow H.
[0237] In addition, in the embodiments of FIGS. 36A to 36D described above, the "shoulder strip" and the "chest strip" can be referred to as the first strip, the "back pad" can be referred to as the second strip, and the first strip is arranged at an interval from the second strip.

As is known to those skilled in the art, the illustrated harness 317E includes a chest pad 3175 and a back pad 3175' that are adjustably interconnected via corresponding strips. In this embodiment, at positions corresponding to the respective strips connecting the chest pad 3175 and the back pad 3175', for example, webbings 31751A, 31751B, 31752A, 31752B are provided that are attached to the chest pad 3175 and the back pad 3175' by stitching, thereby forming respective rings by the strips and the pad bodies. In this embodiment, the rings formed by the respective webbings and the pad bodies (of the chest pad 3175 and the back pad 3175') are penetrated by the respective strips. Further, for example, a webbing 31755 is attached to the back pad 3175' (particularly the center of the back pad 3175') by stitching and forms a center ring with the back pad 3175'. When the harness 317E is worn, the pet's head faces in the direction indicated by arrow H.
[0239] Refer to FIG. 36F. The illustrated harness 317F has a structure and construction similar to that of the harness 317E and includes a chest pad 3176, a back pad 3176', and webbings 31761A, 31761B, 31762A, and 31762B, and these webbings are attached to the chest pad 3176 and the back pad 3176' to form corresponding rings. In this embodiment, the difference in the harness 317F is that the webbing 31765 is attached to the chest pad 3176 (particularly the center of the chest pad 3176) by stitching and forms a center ring with the chest pad 3176. Also, when the harness 317F is worn, the pet's head faces in the direction indicated by arrow H.
[0240] According to the present disclosure, wearable webbings, belts, and strips can be made of the same material as vehicle seat belts, thereby being able to exhibit increased safety strength.
[0241] It should be understood that the connection between the strips, or the connection between the strip and the pad, can be realized by any mechanism known to those skilled in the art, including but not limited to clips, Japanese buckles, etc.
[0242] Combination of wearable and pet moving device: The pet moving system according to the present disclosure includes a pet moving device and a wearable as described above. The pet moving device according to the present disclosure can provide stable and safe support for the pet by combining various belts of the pet carrier and various belts / strips of the wearable. In particular, when the pet wears a wearable such as a bib of the present disclosure and the wearable is appropriately adjusted in terms of looseness so as to adapt to the size of the pet in a moving vehicle.
[0243] Although not shown, according to some examples, the pet carrier may be in the form of a cradle or a cart having a structure and a structure corresponding to the structure and structure shown and illustrated in the above-described pet carrier of the pet moving device of the present disclosure.
[0244] Referring to FIGS. 37 and 38, a pet moving system in use according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

In order not to confuse the present disclosure, the structure or components of the pet carrier 332 or the bib that are not essential for the combination of the belt to the strip / strip of the present disclosure are not shown, and there may be no room for explanation.
[0245] As shown, FIG. 37 schematically shows a plan view of a pet (e.g., dog 31800) wearing the harness of FIG. 36A and restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 332 of FIG. 22, and FIG. 38 is a schematic side view of FIG. 37. In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 336A and 336B extend from the grooves 3324A and 3324B, are pulled upward to extend along the corresponding two front legs of the dog 31800, pass through the gaps between the corresponding two shoulders of the dog 31800 and the corresponding two shoulder strips 31710A and 31710B of the harness worn by the dog 31800, pass through the gaps between the back of the dog 31800 and the two back strips 31714A and 31714B, and can be latched to the buckle clip 3382 via a tongue member (not shown) and connected to the box belt 338 of the pet carrier 332. The user (or pet owner) can pull the adjustment belt 3764 to adjust its looseness and fix it with the positioning fastener 3726 after adjusting the adjustment belt 3764. Since the adjustment belt 3764 is connected to two back bands (i.e., the back bands 376A and 376B shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B), and these two back bands are on the same side as the corresponding shoulder belts 336A and 336B of the pet carrier 332, the looseness of the shoulder belts 336A and 336B can be adjusted by pulling the adjustment belt 3764 to adapt to the body shape of the dog 31800.
[0246] Optionally, taking the pet carrier 332 shown in FIG. 22 and the harness (harness 317D shown in FIG. 36D) as an example, the shoulder belt 336A can pass through the respective rings formed by the webbing 31742A and the webbing 31741A, and the shoulder belt 336B can pass through the respective rings formed by the webbing 31742B and the webbing 31741B.
[0247] In this embodiment, the two shoulder belts 336A and 336B extend parallel to each other along both sides of the vertebrae (vertebrae), and form four contact points with the pet collar worn on the dog 31800. Two are shoulder points located on the shoulders (at positions corresponding to the scapulae of the dog as shown in FIG. 21), for example, the first strip of the shoulder belt and the pet collar (for example, its shoulder strip, which may be a chest belt in other embodiments) form a first contact point. The other two are the mid-back points (corresponding to both sides of the thoracic vertebrae and as shown in FIG. 21) of the dog 31,800, for example, the second strip of the shoulder belt and the pet collar (for example, its back strip) form a second contact point. Compared with existing transport cages or collars, the four contact points (especially the two shoulder points, i.e., the first contact points) can provide relatively firm and stable safety support for the dog 31800.
[0248] Referring to FIGS. 39 and 40, a pet movement system in use in one embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. In this embodiment, taking the pet carrier 332 shown in FIG. 22 and the collar shown in FIG. 36B as examples, how the combination of the belt of the pet carrier 332 and the belt or strip of the collar provides support for the pet restrained in the box part of the pet carrier 332 will be described. In order not to confuse the present disclosure, the structure or components of the pet carrier 332 or the collar that are not essential for the combination of the belt to the strip / strip of the present disclosure are not shown, and there may be no room for explanation.
[0249] As shown, FIG. 39 schematically shows a plan view of a pet (e.g., dog 32000) wearing the bib of FIG. 36B restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 332 of FIG. 22, and FIG. 40 is a schematic side view of FIG. 39. In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 336A and 336B can be pulled upward so as to protrude from the grooves 3324A and 3324B and extend along the respective front legs of the dog 32000, pass through the respective rings formed by the shoulder straps and webbings 31721A and 31721B of the bib, pass through the respective rings formed by the back straps and webbings 31722A and 31722B of the bib, latch to the buckle clip 3382 via a tongue member (not shown), and thereby connect to the box belt 338 of the pet carrier 332. The user (or the pet owner) can pull the adjustment belt 3764 to adjust its looseness and fix the adjustment belt 3764 with the positioning fastener 3726 after adjustment. Since the adjustment belt 3764 is connected to two back bands (i.e., the back bands 376A and 376B shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B), and these two back bands are on the same side as the corresponding shoulder belts 336A and 336B of the pet carrier 332, the looseness of the shoulder belts 336A and 336B can be adjusted by pulling the adjustment belt 3764 to adapt to the body size of the dog 32000.
[0250] Similar to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 37 and 38, in this embodiment, the two shoulder belts 336A and 336B extend parallel to each other along both sides of the spine and form four contact points with the pet collar worn on the dog 32000. Two are shoulder points located on the shoulders (positions corresponding to the scapulae of the dog as shown in FIG. 21), for example, the first strip of the shoulder belt and the pet collar (e.g., its shoulder strip, which may be a chest strip in other embodiments) form the first contact point. The other two are mid-back points located on the mid-back of the dog 32000 (corresponding to both sides of the thoracic vertebrae, as shown in FIG. 21), for example, the second strip of the shoulder belt and the pet collar (e.g., its back strip) form the second contact point. Compared with existing transport cages or collars, the four contact points (especially the two shoulder points, i.e., the first contact points) can provide relatively firm, stable and safe support for the dog 32000. Compared with the embodiments of FIGS. 37 and 38, the shoulder belts 336A and 336B in this embodiment are further constrained by the rings formed by the webbings 31721A, 31721B, 31722A, 31722B and the corresponding shoulder strips (or chest strips) or back strips so that the shoulder belts 336A and 336B are always maintained in appropriate positions during the running of the vehicle.
[0251] Referring to FIGS. 41 and 42, a pet movement system in use in an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. In this embodiment, taking the pet carrier 352 shown in FIG. 24 and the collar shown in FIG. 36B as examples, it is explained how the combination of the belt of the pet carrier 352 and the belt or strip of the collar provides support for the pet restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 352. To avoid confusion with the present disclosure, the structures or components of the pet carrier 352 or the collar that are not essential for the combination of the belt to the strip / strip of the present disclosure are not shown and the description is omitted.
[0252] As shown, FIG. 41 schematically shows a plan view of a pet (e.g., dog 32200) wearing the bib of FIG. 36B restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 352 of FIG. 24, and FIG. 42 is a schematic side view of FIG. 41. In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 356A and 356B project from the grooves 3524A and 3524B and can be pulled upward to extend along the respective front legs of the dog 32200, passing through the respective rings formed by the webbings 31721A and 31721B and the shoulder straps of the bib, passing through the respective rings formed by the webbings 31722A and 31722B and the back strap of the bib, crossing each other and passing through the ring part 31726, and being latched to the buckle clips 3582B and 3582A via the respective tongue members 3562A and 3562B, and connected to the respective box belts 358B and 358A of the pet carrier 352. More specifically, since the shoulder belts 356A and 356B cross at the position of the ring part 31726, the shoulder belt 356A can engage with the buckle clip 3582B via the tongue member 3562A and be connected to the box belt 358B, and the shoulder belt 356B can engage with the buckle clip 3582A via the tongue member 3562B and be connected to the box belt 358A. Preferably, in this embodiment, for a large dog 32200, the box belts 358A and 358B are connected to the adjustment belts 3586A and 3586B via ladder locks 3584A and 3584B, respectively.
[0253] Similarly, the user (or the pet owner) can pull the adjustment belt 3764 to adjust its looseness and fix the adjustment belt 3764 with the positioning fastener 3726 after adjustment. Since the adjustment belt 3764 is connected to two back bands (i.e., the back bands 376A and 376B shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B), and these two back bands are on the same side as the corresponding shoulder belts 356A and 356B of the pet carrier 352, by pulling the adjustment belt 3764, the looseness of the shoulder belts 356A and 356B can be adjusted to adapt to the body size of the dog 32200.
[0254] As shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, in this embodiment, the two shoulder belts 356A and 356B first extend parallel to each other along both sides of the spine, forming four contact points with the pet collar worn on the dog 32200 (i.e., two shoulder points (i.e., the first contact points) and two mid-back points (i.e., the second contact points). Then, as shown in FIGS. 38 and 40, they cross each other to provide another contact point, i.e., the third contact point, at the crossing position around the ring part 31726. The two shoulder points are located at the shoulders of the dog 32200 (the position corresponding to the dog's scapula, as shown in FIG. 21), and the two mid-back points are located at the mid-back of the dog 32200 (corresponding to both sides of the thoracic vertebrae, as shown in FIG. 21). In this embodiment, the third contact point is located near the back, i.e., approximately around the back strip. Compared with existing transport cages or collars, the four contact points (especially the two shoulder points) can provide relatively strong, stable and safe support for the dog 32200. Compared with the embodiments of FIGS. 39 and 40, according to this embodiment, a five-point support is formed at another contact point at the crossing position around the ring part 31726, thereby providing additional support for the dog 32200, which is safer for the dog 32200 in a moving vehicle.
[0255] Referring to FIGS. 43 and 44, a pet moving system in use in one embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. In this embodiment, taking the pet carrier 352 shown in FIG. 24 and the collar shown in FIG. 36C as examples, a combination of the belt of the pet carrier 352 and the belt or strip of the collar will be described on how to support the pet restrained in the box part of the pet carrier 352. To avoid confusion with the content of the present disclosure, the structure or parts of the pet carrier 352 or the collar that are not essential for the belt / belt combination of the strip / strip of the present disclosure are not shown and may not be described.
[0256] As shown, FIG. 43 is a plan view schematically showing a pet (e.g., dog 32400) wearing the bib of FIG. 36C and restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 352 of FIG. 24, and FIG. 44 is a schematic side view of FIG. 43. In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 356A and 356B protrude from the grooves 3524A and 3524B, are pulled upward to extend along the two front legs of the dog 32400 respectively, pass through the respective rings formed by the webbings 31731A and 31731B and the shoulder straps of the bib, cross each other and pass through the ring part 31736, and are latched to the buckle clips 3582B and 3582A using the respective tongue members 3562A and 3562B, thereby being connectable to the respective box belts 358B and 358A of the pet carrier 352. More specifically, since the shoulder belts 356A and 356B cross at the position of the ring part 31736, the shoulder belt 356A can be engaged with the buckle clip 3582B via the tongue member 3562A and connected to the box belt 358B, and the shoulder belt 356B can be engaged with the buckle clip 3582A via the tongue member 3562B and connected to the box belt 358A. In this embodiment, for a large dog 32200, the box belts 358A and 358B are preferably connected to the adjustment belts 3586A and 3586B via the ladder locks 3584A and 3584B respectively.
[0257] Similarly, the user (or the pet owner) can pull the adjustment belt 3764 to adjust its looseness and fix the adjustment belt 3764 with the positioning fastener 3726 after adjustment. Since the adjustment belt 3764 is connected to the two back bands (i.e., the back bands 376A and 376B shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B), and these two back bands are on the same side as the corresponding shoulder belts 356A and 356B of the pet carrier 352, by pulling the adjustment belt 3764, the looseness of the shoulder belts 356A and 356B can be adjusted to adapt to the body size of the dog 32400.
[0258] As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, in this embodiment, the two shoulder belts 356A and 356B first extend parallel to each other along both sides of the spine, forming two contact points, i.e., two shoulder points, with the pet collar worn on the dog 32400, and then cross each other to provide a third contact point at the crossing position around the ring part 31736. The shoulder points are located at the shoulders of the dog 32400 (the positions corresponding to the scapulae of the dog as shown in FIG. 21), thereby providing a firm, stable, and safe support for the dog 32400 compared to existing transport cages or collars. According to this embodiment, the third contact point at the crossing position around the ring part 31736 can also provide additional support for the dog 32400 and is safer for the dog 32400 in a moving vehicle.
[0259] When the pet is wearing an existing collar as shown in FIG. 36D, the shoulder belts of the pet carrier can also be crossed with each other to enhance the support for the pet. Refer to FIGS. 45 and 46, which schematically show the pet movement system in use in one embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, taking the pet carrier 352 shown in FIG. 24 and the collar shown in FIG. 36D as examples, a combination of the belt of the pet carrier 352 and the belt or strip of the collar will be described as to how it supports the pet restrained in the box part of the pet carrier 352. To avoid confusion with the content of the present disclosure, the structures or components of the pet carrier 352 or the collar that are not essential for the belt / strap combination of the present disclosure are not shown and may not be described.
[0260] As shown, FIG. 45 is a plan view schematically showing a pet (e.g., dog 32600) wearing the bib of FIG. 36D restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 352 of FIG. 24, and FIG. 46 is a schematic side view of FIG. 45. In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 356A and 356B can be pulled upward so as to protrude from the grooves 3524A and 3524B and pass through the space between the two front legs of the dog 32600, cross each other at a position surrounding the chest of the dog 32600, extend along the body of the dog 32600 to the back of the dog 32600, cross each other again and extend through the ring part 31746, and latch to the buckle clips 3582A and 3582B with the corresponding tongue members 3562A and 3562B, and can be connected to the corresponding box belts 358A and 358B of the pet carrier 352. More specifically, since the shoulder belts 356A and 356B cross each other twice at the positions of the chest of the dog 32600 and the ring part 31716 respectively, the shoulder belt 356A can be engaged with the buckle clip 3582A via the tongue member 3562A and connected to the box belt 358A, and the shoulder belt 356B can be engaged with the buckle clip 3582B via the tongue member 3562B and connected to the box belt 358B. In this embodiment, for a large dog 32600, the box belts 358A and 358B are preferably connected to the adjustment belts 3586A and 3586B via the ladder locks 3584A and 3584B respectively.
[0261] In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 356A and 356B are not restrained by a harness belt for supporting the dog 32600. Instead, the double crossing of the shoulder belts 356A and 356B forms two intersection points S31 and S32 located in different planes with respect to the dog 32600 (i.e., one is located around the chest and the other is located around the back). That is, when viewed from the direction from the head to the tail of the pet, the shoulder belts 356A and 356B first cross at a position close to the shoulder or chest (e.g., around the chest), i.e., a position close to the shoulder strip or chest strip (the first strip) (intersection point S31), and then continue to extend and cross again at a position around the back, i.e., a position close to the back strip (the second strip) (intersection point S32). Here, the intersection point S31 and the intersection point S32 are formed as two third contact points between the shoulder belt and the pet harness, and the two third contact points are located on the approximately central belt. More specifically, the two shoulder belts 356A and 356B provide a basic supporting force to the dog 32600 by directly contacting the shoulders of the dog 32600 on the chest side, and the intersection point S31 formed around the chest of the dog 32600 and the intersection point S32 formed around the back of the dog 32600 enable additional supporting forces to be applied to the dog 32600 from different planes. In this embodiment, since the shoulder belts support the dog 32600 so as to be spirally wound around each other along the dog 32600, at least two intersection points formed by the belts extending along the body of the dog 32600 can exist. In this way, the present disclosure makes it possible to provide relatively firm, stable and safe support for the dog 32600 compared with existing transport cages or harnesses.
[0262] Referring to FIGS. 47 and 48, a pet moving system in use in one embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. In this embodiment, taking the pet carrier 342 shown in FIG. 23 and the harness (harness 317A shown in FIG. 36A) as an example, a combination of the belt of the pet carrier 342 and the belt or strip of the harness will be described as to how it supports a pet restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 342. To avoid confusing the present disclosure, the structure or components of the pet carrier 342 or the harness that are not essential for the belt / strip combination of the present disclosure are not shown and there may be no room for explanation.
[0263] As shown in the drawings, FIG. 47 is a plan view schematically showing a pet (e.g., dog 32800) wearing the harness of FIG. 36A restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 342 of FIG. 23, and FIG. 48 is a schematic side view of FIG. 47. In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 346A and 346B can be pulled upward so as to protrude from the grooves 3424A and 3424B and extend along the two front legs of the dog 32800 respectively, and cross each other through the gaps between the two shoulders of the dog 32800 and the two shoulder strips 31710A and 31710B of the harness worn by the dog 32800, and then extend through the ring part 31716, and then latch to the buckle clips 3482B and 3482A using the respective tongue members 3462A and 3462B, thereby connecting to the respective box belts 348B and 348A of the pet carrier 342. More specifically, since the shoulder belts 346A and 346B cross at the position of the ring part 31716, the shoulder belt 346A can engage with the buckle clip 3482B via the tongue member 3462A and connect to the box belt 348B, and the shoulder belt 346B can engage with the buckle clip 3482A via the tongue member 3462B and connect to the box belt 348A.
[0264] Similarly, the user (or pet owner) can pull the adjustment belt 3764 to adjust its looseness and then fix the adjustment belt 3764 with the positioning fastener 3726 after adjustment. Since the adjustment belt 3764 is connected to two back bands (i.e., the back bands 376A and 376B shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B), and these two back bands are on the same side as the corresponding shoulder belts 346A and 346B of the pet carrier 342, by pulling the adjustment belt 3764, the looseness of the shoulder belts 346A and 346B can be adjusted to adapt to the body size of the dog 32800.
[0265] As shown in FIGS. 47 and 48, in this embodiment, the two shoulder belts 346A and 346B first extend parallel to each other along both sides of the spine and form two contact points (i.e., the first contact points, such as two shoulder points) with the pet collar worn by the dog 32800, and then cross each other to provide a third contact point at the crossing position around the ring part 31716. The shoulder points are located at the shoulders of the dog (the position corresponding to the scapula of the dog as shown in FIG. 21), whereby, compared with the existing transport cage or collar, a firm, stable and safe support can be provided for the dog 32800. According to this embodiment, the third contact point at the crossing position around the ring part 31716 can also provide additional support for the dog 32800 and is safer for the dog 32800 in a moving vehicle. Therefore, even if the dog 32800 is wearing an existing collar similar to the collar 317A shown in FIG. 36A, the pet carrier 342 of the present disclosure can provide a relatively strong, stable and safe support for the dog 32800 compared with the existing transport cage or collar.
[0266] Refer to FIGS. 49, 49A and 49B, which schematically show a pet movement system in use in one embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, also taking the pet carrier 342 shown in FIG. 23 and the harness (harness 317A shown in FIG. 36A) as an example, a combination of the belt of the pet carrier 342 and the belt or strip of the harness provides support to the pet restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 342 in a manner different from the embodiments of FIGS. 47 and 48. To avoid confusing the present disclosure, the structure or components of the pet carrier 342 or the harness that are not essential for the belt / belt combination to strip / strip of the present disclosure are not shown and there may be no room for explanation.
[0267] As shown in the drawings, FIG. 49 is a plan view schematically showing a pet (e.g., dog 33000) wearing the harness of FIG. 36A restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 342 of FIG. 23, and FIGS. 49A and 49B are schematic side views of FIG. 49 showing the dog 33000 standing and lying down in the pet carrier 342, respectively.
[0268] In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 346A and 346B can be pulled upward so as to protrude from the grooves 3424A and 3424B and extend along the corresponding two front legs of the dog 33000. The shoulder belts 346A and 346B extend from the lower side and the outer side of the shoulder straps 31710A and 31710B, through the gaps between the corresponding two shoulders of the dog 33000 and the corresponding two shoulder straps 31710A, 31710B of the bib worn by the dog 33000, and extend along the shoulder straps 31710A and 31710B to surround both sides of the spine of the dog 33000. The shoulder belts 346A and 346B further extend along the central strap of the bib, cross each other and extend through the ring part 31716, and then are latched to the buckle clips 3482B and 3482A via the respective tongue members 3462A and 3462B, thereby connecting to the respective box belts 348B and 348A of the pet carrier 342. More specifically, since the shoulder belts 346A and 346B cross at the position of the ring part 31716, the shoulder belt 346A can be engaged with the buckle clip 3482B via the tongue member 3462A and connected to the box belt 348B, and the shoulder belt 346B can be engaged with the buckle clip 3482A via the tongue member 3462B and connected to the box belt 348A.
[0269] The user (or the pet owner) can pull the adjustment belt 3764 to adjust its looseness and fix it with the positioning fastener 3726 after adjusting the adjustment belt 3764. Since the adjustment belt 3764 is connected to the two back bands (i.e., the back bands 376A and 376B shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B), and these two back bands are on the same side as the corresponding shoulder belts 346A and 346B of the pet carrier 342, by pulling the adjustment belt 3764, the looseness of the shoulder belts 346A and 346B can be adjusted to adapt to the body shape of the dog 33000.
[0270] Similarly, in this embodiment, the shoulder point is located at the shoulder of the dog 33000 (the position corresponding to the scapula of the dog, as shown in FIG. 21), which can provide firm, stable, and safe support for the dog 33000 compared to existing transport cages or harnesses. According to this embodiment, the third contact point at the intersection position around the ring part 31716 can also provide additional support for the dog 33000 and is safer for the dog 33000 in a moving vehicle. Therefore, even if the dog 33000 is wearing an existing harness similar to the harness 317A shown in FIG. 36A, the pet carrier 342 of the present disclosure can provide relatively strong, stable, and safe support for the dog 33000 compared to existing transport cages or harnesses.
[0271] Referring to FIGS. 50 and 51, a pet moving system in use according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. In this embodiment, taking the pet carrier 3112 shown in FIG. 30 and the harness (the harness 317C shown in FIG. 36C) as examples, a combination of the belt of the pet carrier 3112 and the belt or strip of the harness will be described on how to support the pet restrained in the box part of the pet carrier 3112. To avoid confusion in the present disclosure, the structure or components of the pet carrier 3112 or the harness that are not essential for the combination of the belt of the present disclosure to the strip / strip are not shown and there may be no room for explanation.
[0272] As shown, FIG. 50 is a plan view schematically showing a pet (e.g., dog 33100) wearing the bib of FIG. 36C restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 3112 of FIG. 30, and FIG. 51 is a schematic side view of FIG. 50. In this embodiment, the extending section 3116 of the Y-shaped belt may extend from a groove (i.e., groove 31124 shown in FIG. 30) and may be pulled upward to extend along the chest of the dog 33100, where two separate shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B (connected to the extending section 3116 via a connecting portion 31162 extending therefrom) extend along two corresponding shoulder straps 31730A and 31730B of the bib worn by the dog 33100 and pass through corresponding rings formed by webbings 31731A and 31731B. The two shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B cross each other, extend through the ring part 31716, and are then latched to the buckle clips 31182B and 31182A using their respective tongue members, thereby connecting to the respective box belts 3118B and 3118A of the pet carrier 3112. More specifically, since the shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B cross at the position of the ring part 31716, the shoulder segment 31164A can have its tongue member engage the buckle clip 31182B to connect to the box belt 3118B, and the shoulder segment 31164B can have its tongue member engage the buckle clip 31182A to connect to the box belt 3118A. Preferably, in this embodiment, for a large dog 33100, the box belts 3118A and 3118B are each connected to the adjustment belts 31186A and 31186B via ladder locks 31184A and 31184B.
[0273] In this embodiment, the connection portion 31162 can be used as an intersection (e.g., intersection S31 as the third contact point) on the chest plane of the dog 33100, and the shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B form a second intersection S32 (i.e., another third contact point) on the back plane of the dog 33100. Therefore, even if the shoulder segments 31164A and 31164B are not constrained by a harness band for supporting the dog 33100, the two intersections S31, S32 are located in different planes (i.e., positions around the chest, positions around the back) with respect to the dog 33100, and stable support forces can be applied to the dog 33100 from different planes. In this way, the present disclosure makes it possible to provide relatively firm, stable and safe support for the dog 33100 compared to existing transport cages or harnesses.
[0274] Referring to FIGS. 52 and 53, a pet movement system in use according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. In this embodiment, taking the pet carrier 3132 shown in FIG. 32 and a harness with a webbing ring attached to the shoulder strap and its back strap (similar to the harness shown in FIG. 36B) as an example, a method of supporting a pet restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 3132 by a combination of the belt of the pet carrier 3132 and the belt or strap of the harness is described. In order not to confuse the present disclosure, the structure or components of the pet carrier 3132 or the harness that are not essential for the strip / strip belt combination of the present disclosure are not shown and there may be no room for explanation.
[0275] As shown in the drawing, FIG. 52 is a plan view schematically showing a pet such as a dog 33300 wearing a bib (similar to that shown in FIG. 36B) and being restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 3132 of FIG. 32, and FIG. 53 is a schematic side view of FIG. 52. In this embodiment, fastening belts 3136A and 3136B of the pet carrier 3132 with a predetermined interval project from the seat portion, pass through the interface between the bottom and the long side of the box portion of the pet carrier 3132, and are latched to fixed belts 3138A and 3138B fixed to the opposite side of the box portion of the pet carrier 3132. The fastening belt 3136A is pulled so as to pass through a ring formed by the webbing ring 31721A of the bib and the right shoulder strip, and then passes through a ring formed by the webbing ring 31721B of the bib and the left shoulder strip. The fastening belt 3136B is pulled upward so as to pass through a ring formed by the webbing ring 31722A of the bib and the right back strip, and then passes through a ring formed by the webbing ring 31722B of the bib and the left back strip. Therefore, the fastening belts 3136A and 3136B can extend parallel to each other so as to engage with buckle clips 31382A and 31382B with their respective tongue-like members 31362A and 31362B and be connected to the respective fixed belts 3138A and 3138B.
[0276] The user (or the pet owner) can pull the respective adjustment belts 31364A and 31364B to adjust their looseness and fix the adjustment belts 31364A and 31364B at their respective positions with positioning fasteners (not shown) after adjustment. Since the corresponding adjustment belts 31364A and 31364B are on the same side as the corresponding fastening belts 3136A and 3136B of the pet carrier 3132, by pulling the corresponding adjustment belts 31364A and 31364B, the looseness of the fastening belt 3136 can be adjusted to adapt to the body shape of the dog 33300.
[0277] In this embodiment, the fastening belts 3136A and 3136B pass parallel to each other from one long side of the pet carrier 3132 to the opposite long side, contact the shoulder strap and the back strap along their strip lengths, thereby forming two linear contact regions parallel to each other, where a linear contact region passing through the shoulder of the dog 33300 (the position corresponding to the scapula of the dog, as shown in FIG. 21), and another linear contact region passing through the mid-back of the dog 33300 (the position corresponding to both sides of the thoracic vertebrae, as shown in FIG. 21). Compared with existing transport cages or harnesses, the two linear contact regions, particularly the regions passing through the two shoulders of the dog 33300, can provide relatively strong, stable and safe support for the dog 33300. Further, the parallel structure of the fastening belts 3136A and 3136B can provide a relatively large range of movement for the dog 33300 so as to avoid excessive restriction on the dog 33300 and not give the dog discomfort.
[0278] Refer to FIGS. 54 and 55 which schematically show a pet movement system in use in one embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, also taking the pet carrier 3132 shown in FIG. 32 and the harness (harness 317B shown in FIG. 36B) as an example, a combination of the belt of the pet carrier 3132 and the belt or strip of the harness will be described in a way different from the embodiments of FIGS. 52 and 53 for providing support to a pet restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 3132. To avoid confusing the present disclosure, the structure or components of the pet carrier 3132 or the harness that are not essential for the strip / strip belt combination of the present disclosure are not shown and there may be no room for explanation.
[0279] As shown, FIG. 54 is a plan view schematically showing a pet (dog 33500) wearing a harness (similar to the harness shown in FIG. 36B) in which the fixing direction of the webbing of the shoulder strap and the back strap restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 3132 of FIG. 32 is different from the original fixing direction of the webbing shown in FIG. 36B, and FIG. 55 is a schematic side view of FIG. 54. In this embodiment, the fastening belts 3136A and 3136B of the pet carrier 3132, which are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, protrude from the seat portion, pass through the interface between the bottom and the long side of the box portion of the pet carrier 3132, and are latched to the respective fixing belts 3138B and 3138A fixed to the opposing sides of the box portion of the pet carrier 3132. More specifically, the fastening belt 3136A is pulled up so as to pass through a ring formed by the harness webbing 31721A and the right back strap, and then passes through a ring formed by the harness webbing 3172131722B and the left back strap. The fastening belt 3136B is pulled up so as to pass through a ring formed by the harness webbing 31722A and the right back strap, and then passes through a ring formed by the harness webbing 31721B and the left back strap. In other words, the tightening belts 3136A and 3136B cross each other at a position on the central strip of the harness and form an intersection point S31 on the back of the dog 33300 (corresponding to a position on the spine). The fastening belts 3136A and 3136B are connected to the respective fixing belts 3138B and 3138A by being locked to the buckle clips 31382B and 31382A via the respective tongue-like members 31362A and 31362B.
[0280] Similarly, the user (or the pet owner) can pull each of the adjustment belts 31364A and 31364B to adjust their looseness and fix the adjustment belts 31364A and 31364B at their respective positions with corresponding positioning fasteners (not shown) after adjustment. Since the corresponding adjustment belts 31364A and 31364B are on the same side as the corresponding fastening belts 3136A and 3136B of the pet carrier 3132, by pulling the corresponding adjustment belts 31364A and 31364B, the looseness of the fastening belts 3136A and 3136B can be adjusted to adapt to the body size of the dog 33500.
[0281] In this embodiment, the fastening belt 3136A forms a first contact point (i.e., the shoulder point) with the harness worn on the dog 33500 by passing through a ring formed by the webbing 31721A of the harness and the right shoulder strip, and forms a second contact point (e.g., the back point) by passing through a ring formed by the belt 31722B of the harness and the left back strip. Similarly, the fastening belt 3136B forms another second contact point (i.e., another back point) by passing through a ring formed by the webbing 31722A of the harness and the right back strip, and forms another first contact point (e.g., another shoulder point) by passing through a ring formed by the webbing 31721B of the harness and the left shoulder strip. The intersection of the fastening belts 3136A and 3136B provides a third contact point (i.e., the intersection point S31) at the intersection position of the central strip. The two shoulder points are located at the corresponding shoulders of the dog 33500 (at a position corresponding to the scapula of the dog as shown in FIG. 21), thereby providing firm, stable, and safe support for the dog 33500 compared to existing transport cages or harnesses. The intersection point S31 in this embodiment can also provide additional support for the dog 33500. Such five-point support (e.g., two shoulder points, two back points, one intersection point) can provide safer support for the dog 33500 in a moving vehicle.
[0282] Referring to FIGS. 56 and 57, there is schematically shown a pet moving system in use in one embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, taking the pet carrier 342 shown in FIG. 23 and the harness (harness 317E shown in FIG. 36E) as an example, it will be described how a combination of the belt of the pet carrier 342 and the belt or strip of the harness supports a pet restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 342. For the sake of not confusing the present disclosure, the structure or components of the pet carrier 342 or the harness that are not essential for the combination of the belt to the strip / strip of the present disclosure are not shown and there may be no room for explanation.
[0283] As shown, FIG. 56 is a plan view schematically showing a pet (e.g., dog 33700) wearing the bib of FIG. 36E and restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 342 of FIG. 23, and FIG. 57 is a schematic side view of FIG. 56. In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 346A and 346B extend from the grooves 3424A and 3424B and are pulled up so as to extend along the respective front legs of the dog 33700, penetrate through the rings formed by the respective webbings 31751A and 31751B and the chest pad 3175 of the bib from the lower side of the strip, extend along the body of the dog 33700 and cross each other at the position of the dog 33700's back, and then penetrate through the rings formed by the respective webbings 31752B and 31752A and the back pad 3175' of the bib, and latch to the buckle clips 3482B and 3482A using the respective tongue members 3462A and 3462B, thereby connecting to the corresponding box belts 348B and 348A of the pet carrier 342. More specifically, due to the crossing of the shoulder belts 346A and 346B at the intersection S31, the shoulder belt 346A can engage with the buckle clip 3482B via the tongue member 3462A and connect to the box belt 348B, and the shoulder belt 346B can engage with the buckle clip 3482A via the tongue member 3462B and connect to the box belt 348A. Preferably, the shoulder belts 346A and 346B pass through the ring on the back pad 3175' of the bib formed by the belts 31755 and the back pad 3175' and can cross each other within the ring to prevent the belts from moving easily.
[0284] Similarly, the user (or the pet owner) can pull the adjustment belt 3764 to adjust its looseness and then fix the adjustment belt 3764 with the positioning fastener 3726 after adjustment. Since the adjustment belt 3764 is connected to two back bands (i.e., the back bands 376A and 376B shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B), and these two back bands are on the same side as the corresponding shoulder belts 346A and 346B of the pet carrier 342, by pulling the adjustment belt 3764, the looseness of the shoulder belts 346A and 346B can be adjusted to adapt to the body size of the dog 33700.
[0285] As shown in FIGS. 56 and 57, in this embodiment, the two shoulder belts 346A and 346B contact the harness at four points, forming four contact points. These four contact points include two shoulder points (i.e., the first contact point located on the shoulder, corresponding to the position of the dog's scapula, shown in FIG. 21), and two abdominal points located on both sides of the lower abdomen of the dog 33700 (also referred to as the "fourth contact point" of the shoulder belt and the pet harness). Further, the intersection of the belts 346A and 346B at the intersection S31 can provide additional support to the dog 33700. With such a five-point support method, the dog 33700 in the moving vehicle can be supported more safely.
[0286] Referring to FIGS. 58 and 59, a pet moving system in use according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. In this embodiment, taking the pet carrier 342 shown in FIG. 23 and the harness (the harness 317E shown in FIG. 36E) as an example, the combination of the belt of the pet carrier 342 and the belt or strip of the harness provides support to the pet restrained in the box part of the pet carrier 342 in a way different from the embodiment of FIGS. 56 and 57. To avoid confusing the present disclosure, the structure or components of the pet carrier 342 or the harness that are not essential for the combination of the belt to the strip / strip of the present disclosure are not shown, and there may be no room for explanation.
[0287] As shown, FIG. 58 is a plan view schematically showing a pet (e.g., dog 33900) wearing the bib of FIG. 36E and restrained in the box portion of the pet carrier 342 of FIG. 23, and FIG. 59 is a schematic side view of FIG. 58. In this embodiment, the shoulder belts 346A and 346B protrude from the grooves 3424A and 3424B and are pulled upward to extend along the two front legs of the dog 33900 respectively, and can pass through the rings formed by the respective webbings 31751A and 31751B of the bib and the chest pad 3175 from the lower side of the strip. The shoulder belts 346A and 346B extend longitudinally along both sides of the body of the dog 33700, pass through the rings formed by the respective webbings 31752A and 31752B of the bib and the chest pad 3175, and can be latched to the clip clips 3482A and 3482B using the respective tongue members 3462A and 3462B and connected to the respective belts 348A and 348B of the pet carrier 342.
[0288] Similarly, the user (or the pet owner) can pull the adjustment belt 3764 to adjust its looseness and fix the adjustment belt 3764 with the positioning fastener 3726 after adjustment. Since the adjustment belt 3764 is connected to the two back bands (i.e., the back bands 376A and 376B shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B), and these two back bands are on the same side as the corresponding shoulder belts 346A and 346B of the pet carrier 342, by pulling the adjustment belt 3764, the looseness of the shoulder belts 346A and 346B can be adjusted to adapt to the body shape of the dog 33900.
[0289] In this embodiment, since the shoulder belts 346A and 346B extend in parallel, no intersection is formed in this embodiment as compared with that shown in FIGS. 56 and 57. However, in this way, the four contact points (especially the two shoulder points) can provide relatively firm and stable support for the dog 33900 compared with the existing transport cage or bib.
[0290] Note that the "shoulder belt" in the third aspect of the present disclosure is similar to the "restraining webbing" in the second aspect of the present disclosure, and the "fastening belt" can also be regarded as another restraining belt. That is, each embodiment of the pet carrier in the third aspect can include a restraining means having a restraining belt. Here, this restraining webbing can be fitted to a corresponding connector such as a wearable for a pet (e.g., a corresponding structure such as a pet harness, a bib, etc.), and in order to restrict the pet to the accommodation space formed by the box portion (also called "box") of the pet's luggage, it can include a shoulder belt and / or a fixing belt that pierces a groove provided at the bottom of the pet's luggage. Optionally, the box (e.g., the restraining means) can protrude from a corresponding other groove at the bottom of the box, and further include a belt of the box that connects the shoulder belt to the belt of the box and can restrain the pet in the box.
[0291] Also, the "ring" formed by the shoulder strap, the back strap, and the central strap and the bib belt in the third aspect of the present disclosure can correspond to the "connecting member" of the pet bib in the second aspect of the present disclosure.
[0292] Fixing the pet carrier to the vehicle without a base: The above illustration relates to a pet moving device or a pet moving system for fixing a pet carrier to the base of a vehicle, but it should be noted that a pet carrier or a pet moving system as illustrated can be fixed to a vehicle without a base. Those skilled in the art can understand that the pet carrier or the pet moving system according to the present disclosure may be fixed to a vehicle by an integrated anchor system, or may be combined with an upper belt anchor system and an integrated anchor system (shown in FIG. 60 or FIG. 61), or may be fixed by an automobile seat belt (shown in FIG. 62).
[0293] A pet moving device having a rigid anchor system includes a storage compartment for storing the anchor. Thus, the anchor may not protrude outwardly from the outward facing side of the housing of the seat portion. The shape of the storage compartment can correspond to the shape of the anchor. The dimensions of the storage compartment can also be set to be substantially the same as the dimensions of the anchor. The rigid anchor system may be formed along the side surface of the seat portion and be telescopically adjustable to transition between a storage position and an operating position. When the rigid anchor system is in the storage position, it is fully installed in the storage compartment space of the seat portion. In some embodiments, the rigid anchor system also includes a cross member for adjusting the distance between the anchors. When the rigid anchor system is in the operating position, the anchor can protrude from the housing of the seat portion by sliding or rotating by releasing a button and can be attached to the vehicle seat. The seat portion also includes feet that are located below the carrier or in the space between the anchors. The feet can move between a deployed mode and a stored mode. In the deployed mode, the feet extend beyond the outer surface of the seat portion. The legs can be coupled to at least one of the anchors, and movement of one or two of the anchors can move the legs with respect to the pet carrier and one or two of the anchors. The movement of the anchors can be different from or opposite to the movement of the feet. For example, when the anchor rotates counterclockwise, the feet rotate clockwise, and vice versa.
[0294] Figure 60 schematically shows a pet carrier 34100 having a combination of a soft latch and a rigid latch system for securing to a vehicle. As shown, the soft latch is a third anchor point excluding an integrated rigid anchor system such as an ISOFIX connector 34120 that forms one or more anchor points. The soft latch system includes one or more anchors that can be positioned diagonally relative to the rigid latch system. The soft latch system can be integrated with the rigid latch system provided on the opposing surface of the seat. In some embodiments, the rigid latch system further includes a rotatable anchor and an extensible leg as described above. The soft latch system includes an upper band strip and at least one anchor.

Further, the pet carrier 34200 includes a rigid frame 34220 that forms an ISOFIX having two connectors fixed to the vehicle.
[0296] Figure 62 schematically shows that the pet carrier 34300 is fixed to the vehicle via an automobile seat belt. As shown, the automobile seat belt can include a seat belt shoulder belt 3430A (also referred to as a "seat belt chest belt") connected to each other at the ends for engaging the buckle, and a seat belt abdominal belt 3430B. The seat belt shoulder belt 3430A can contact the handle 34301 of the pet carrier 34300 and extend along the handle 34301 of the pet carrier. The seat belt abdominal belt 3430B extends along the side periphery of the pet carrier 34300 under the guidance of the guide members 34330A and 34330B. The guide members 34330A and 34330B may be fixtures attached or fixed to the pet carrier 34300. The seat belt (i.e., both the seat belt shoulder belt 3430A and the seat belt abdominal belt 3430B) is connected to an extension strip 34310 which may be a fixture of the pet carrier 34300. The extension strip 34310 is further locked to a buckle (not shown) fixed to the vehicle. In this embodiment, the seat belt shoulder belt 3430A can be fixed to the handle 34301 by an optional guide 34340 (such as a clip) so as to be supported in a non-movable manner.
