Description

[[Technical Field]]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a carrier, and more particularly to a carrier provided with a protection device. [[Background Art]]

[0002] In recent years, an increasing number of users attach importance to the safety of pets in moving vehicles. Accordingly, most users use carriers such as pet baskets and pet boxes to transport pets when going out, which facilitates carrying and transportation and provides a positioning or riding position for pets in the vehicle. Existing carriers usually lack a collision protection mechanism or function, such as a side collision prevention protection function. Therefore, when an accidental collision of a vehicle, particularly an impact on a side surface, or a sudden change in vehicle speed or direction occurs, the impact force or collision force from the side surface cannot be sufficiently alleviated, which increases the possibility that pets in the carrier suffer impacts or injuries.

[0011] Illustrative embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While various modifications and alternative forms are possible, specific embodiments are illustrated by the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure should not be limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, this disclosure encompasses all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives that fall within the spirit and scope of this disclosure.

[0012] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0013] A first aspect of this disclosure provides a carrier, and a specific embodiment thereof is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0014] First embodiment of the first aspect: Figures 1 to 3 show the structure of a carrier 1000 provided according to a first embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure, which may, but is not limited to, a pet basket. The carrier 1000 includes a housing body 100, a canopy assembly 200, and a protective cover 300. Figures 4 and 5 show the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200 mounted together, with the canopy assembly 200 being a fully enclosed canopy. Figure 6 shows the structure of the canopy assembly 200 in an unfolded state. Figures 7 to 9 show the structure of the housing body 100. Figures 10 and 13 show the structure of the protective cover 300.

[0015] Referring to Figure 7, in some embodiments, the housing body 100 is, for example, a box-shaped structure. This box-shaped structure defines a housing space 113 for housing a pet, and the housing space 113 has a top opening 10 into which the pet can enter. Figures 7 to 9 show exemplary structures of the housing body 100. The housing body 100 includes, for example, a box 110, a bracket device (also called a “bracket assembly”) 120, and a seat cloth 150. In some embodiments, the housing body 100 has, for example, a left-right symmetrical or front-back symmetrical structure. Note that “seat cloth” as used herein is not limited to fabric materials and may be understood as “covering material” such as textiles, sponges, or plastics, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0016] Referring to Figure 9, the box 110 includes, for example, a peripheral wall 112 and a bottom 111, the peripheral wall 112 and bottom 111 defining the storage space 113 and the top opening 10. In some embodiments, the box 110 may be formed from, for example, foam or other suitable material.

[0017] Referring to Figures 8 and 9, the bracket device 120 is used to support the box 110 so that it has sufficient structural strength. In some embodiments, the bracket device 120 limits the space in which the box 110 is housed, and the bracket device 120 reinforces the structural strength of the box 110 from the outside. The bracket device 120 can be a metal frame structure.

[0018] In some embodiments, the bracket device 120 includes, for example, a first bracket 121, a second bracket 122, and a third bracket 123. The first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123 have a generally parallel and loop-shaped structure. The first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123 are connected by the second bracket 122. The second bracket 122 may have various embodiments, as long as it is capable of connecting the first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123.

[0019] As can be seen in Figure 9, in this embodiment, two second brackets 122 are arranged spaced apart in the front-rear direction, and each second bracket 122 has a U-shaped structure and comprises a vertical segment 1221 and a horizontal segment 1222. The vertical segment 1221 is connected to the first bracket 121, and the horizontal segment 1222 extends in the left-right direction and is connected to the third bracket 123.

[0020] Referring to Figure 8, when the box body 110 is located within the space confined by the bracket device 120, the first bracket 121 is joined to the outer surface of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and the first bracket 121 is adjacent to the top opening 10. The vertical segment 1221 of the second bracket 122 is joined to the outer surface of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and the horizontal segment 1222 of the second bracket 122 is joined to the outer surface of the bottom 111 of the box body 110. The third bracket 123 is located below the box body 110, and the third bracket 123 may be detachably connected to a socket (not shown) on the cart, thereby allowing the carrier 1000 to be attached to the cart. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the bracket device 120 is not limited to the above description, and other embodiments are possible.

[0021] As shown in Figure 9, the first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123 are, for example, rectangular or other suitable shapes. When the first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123 are rectangular, each of the first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123 includes two opposing long rods and two opposing short rods. In embodiments of this disclosure, for convenience of explanation, the extension direction of the long rods is referred to as the front-to-back direction (also called the longitudinal direction), and the extension direction of the short rods is referred to as the left-to-right direction (also called the transverse direction), and in the drawings, arrows F and B schematically indicate the "front" and "rear" directions, and arrows L and R schematically indicate the "left" and "right" directions. These directional limitations are used solely to clarify the description of embodiments of this disclosure and are not used to unduly limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. In general circumstances, when a pet is stored in the containment space 113, the forward direction corresponds, for example, to the direction of the pet's head, and the rearward direction corresponds, for example, to the direction of the pet's tail, or the forward direction corresponds, for example, to the direction of the pet's tail, and the rearward direction corresponds, for example, to the direction of the pet's head.

[0022] Referring to Figure 7, the seat cloth 150 covers, for example, the inner and outer surfaces of the box body 110, providing a neat appearance to the housing body 100. In some embodiments, the third bracket 123 may be exposed when the seat cloth 150 covers the box body 110. Areas of the seat cloth 150 configured to come into contact with the pet may include a sponge layer or other structures having a cushioning function. Referring to Figures 8 and 9, grooves 1121 are provided in the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and the vertical segments 1221 of the second bracket 122 can be fitted into the grooves 1121 without protruding from the surface of the peripheral wall 112, thereby facilitating the bonding of the seat cloth 150 to the box body 110 and reducing the difficulty of cutting the seat cloth 150. In some embodiments, the vertical segments 1221 of the second bracket 122 may, for example, be partially fitted into the grooves 1121 and partially protruding from the surface of the peripheral wall 112. Furthermore, a wide armrest (the armrest is made of plastic, for example, not shown) may be attached to the first bracket 121, and the seat fabric 150 may further wrap around the armrest.

[0023] Referring to Figure 7, in some embodiments, two first connecting members 41 are installed on each of the left and right sides of the housing body 100, and the two first connecting members 41 on the same side of the housing body 100 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction. Each first connecting member 41 may be, for example, a loop-shaped structure (e.g., a metal loop) located outside the seat fabric 150, and each first connecting member 41 may be connected to the seat fabric 150 by, for example, webbing 411. Of course, the method of connecting each first connecting member 41 to the housing body 100 is not limited to the above examples. For example, in some embodiments not shown, two connecting posts (not shown) are installed on each of the two long rods of the first bracket 121, and each connecting post has an end exposed from the seat fabric 150, which is used to connect to the first connecting member 41. The function of each first connecting member 41 will be described later.

[0024] Referring to Figures 4 to 6, the canopy assembly 200 is attached to the housing body 100 and has an extended state that closes the top opening 10. The canopy assembly 200 is used as a sunshade and also serves to prevent dust, mosquitoes, and foreign objects from entering the housing space 113. The bottom shape of the canopy assembly 200 matches the shape of the top opening 10 of the housing body 100. In some embodiments, the bottom of the canopy assembly 200 is detachably connected to the top of the housing body 100 via a canopy locking device 24, thereby detachably snapping the canopy assembly 200 into the top opening 10 of the housing body 100. In some embodiments, the canopy locking device 24 may be, for example, a zipper, with a first chain 241 of the zipper (see Figure 6) installed around, for example, the bottom of the canopy assembly 200, and a second chain 242 of the zipper (see Figure 7) installed around, for example, the top of the storage body 100, with the second chain 242 connected to, for example, the seat fabric 150. Of course, in other embodiments, the canopy locking device 24 may be other embodiments such as a buckle or Velcro®. After the canopy assembly 200 is removed from the storage body 100, the canopy assembly 200 can be folded for storage. Referring to Figure 4, in some embodiments, a skirt 25 may be provided at the bottom of the canopy assembly 200 to shield the canopy locking device 24 when the canopy assembly 200 is deployed.

[0025] Continuing to refer to Figures 4 and 6, in some embodiments, the canopy assembly 200 may include a plurality of U-shaped brackets 21 (also called “U-shaped support rods” or “support rods”) and a canopy 22 connected to the U-shaped brackets 21, the canopy 22 including, for example, the aforementioned skirt 25. When the canopy assembly 200 is deployed, the ends of the U-shaped brackets 21 correspond to the left and right sides of the housing body 100, respectively, and the canopy 22 is supported by the U-shaped brackets 21 and bulges upward relative to the housing body 100. In some embodiments, the canopy 22 may include a shielding area 221 and an observation area 222. Referring to Figure 4, when the canopy assembly 200 is deployed, one of the shielding area 221 and the observation area 222 is close to the front end of the housing body 100 (corresponding to the front end of the canopy assembly 200 and the canopy 22), and the other is close to the rear end of the housing body 100 (corresponding to the rear end of the canopy assembly 200 and the canopy 22). The shielding area 221 is made of, for example, a light-blocking fabric that can block sunlight. The observation area 222 is made of, for example, a light-transmitting mesh fabric or a transparent material, allowing the user to observe the inside of the housing body 100 through the observation area 222. If the observation area 222 is made of a transparent material such as a plastic film, it is also possible to place a breathable structure in the observation area 222.

[0026] Referring to Figures 4 and 6, in some embodiments, the shielding area 221 of the canopy 22 includes a plurality of shielding sheets 2211, and the joints of each pair of adjacent shielding sheets 2211 are connected to a single U-shaped bracket 21. The observation area 222 includes a plurality of observation sheets 2221, and the joints of each pair of adjacent observation sheets 2221 are connected to a single U-shaped bracket 21. The joints of adjacent shielding sheets 2211 and observation sheets 2221 are connected to a single U-shaped bracket 21. In some embodiments, the area of ​​the shielding area 221 is larger than the area of ​​the observation area 222, and a handle 23 may be installed in the shielding area 221, for example, located on the top of the canopy 22.

[0027] Continuing to refer to Figures 4 and 6, in some embodiments, the canopy 22 may be provided with a canopy opening 201, and a sealing member 223 may be provided in the canopy opening 201, which can close or open the canopy opening 201. In Figures 4 and 6, the canopy opening 201 is closed by the sealing member 223 and the canopy 22 is in the deployed state. When the sealing member 223 opens the canopy opening 201, some of the canopy 22 folds in the direction of arrow T1 and other parts of the canopy 22 folds in the direction of arrow T2, so that the canopy opening 201 opens wide (i.e., the accommodation space is exposed) and the canopy assembly 200 switches to the open state. When the canopy assembly 200 is open, the user can place a pet into or remove a pet from the containment space 113 through the canopy opening 201 without removing the entire canopy assembly 200 from the containment body 100.

[0028] Referring again to Figures 1 to 3, in some embodiments, the protective cover 300 is connected to the housing body 100 and is used to cover at least a portion of the canopy assembly 200, serving to protect the canopy assembly 200 and prevent damage when the deployed canopy assembly 200 is subjected to impact. In other words, the protective cover 300 in this embodiment may also be called a “protective device,” or may be treated as an example or part of a “protective device.” In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 can cover areas of the canopy assembly 200 that have relatively weak structural strength and poor impact resistance. In the canopy, the structural strength of the shielding area 221 is generally higher than that of the observation area 222, so the protective cover 300 can, for example, cover the observation area 222 to improve the impact resistance of the observation area 222 and protect it from damage. It will be understood that some areas of the observation area 222 may not be covered by the cover body 31 for air circulation. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the protective cover 300 can also be used to cover the shielding area 221, thereby improving the impact resistance of the shielding area 221.

[0029] Figures 3, 10, and 11 show exemplary embodiments of the protective cover 300. The protective cover 300 may include a cover body 31 and two second connecting members 32. The cover body 31 has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. When the protective cover 300 is in use as shown in Figure 1, the cover body 31 is arched, and both ends of the cover body 31 correspond to the left and right sides of the housing body 100. The cover body 31 may include at least one material layer. In some embodiments, the material layer of the cover body 31 may include, for example, an inner woven layer and an outer woven layer made of woven fabric, the inner woven layer facing the canopy assembly 200 and the outer woven layer facing away from the canopy assembly 200. A cushioning layer, such as a sponge layer, may be placed between the inner woven layer and the outer woven layer. Of course, in some embodiments, the material layer of the cover body 31 may include a single woven layer made of woven fabric. Two second connecting members 32 are installed at both ends of the cover body 31, and one second connecting member 32 may be selectively detachably connected to one of two first connecting members 41 located on the left side of the housing body 100, and the other second connecting member 32 may be selectively detachably connected to one of two first connecting members 41 located on the right side of the housing body 100, thereby allowing the cover body 31 to laterally cover the observation area 222 located in front of or behind the canopy assembly 200.

[0030] Referring to Figure 10, in some embodiments, each second connecting member 32 may be secured to the opposing ends of the cover body 31 by, for example, webbing 33. The second connecting member 32 is, for example, a hook clasp, which can be easily connected to the loop structure of the first connecting member 41. In some alternative embodiments, the webbing 33 is, for example, an elastic strap, and when each second connecting member 32 is connected to the corresponding first connecting member 41, the elastic strap is pulled taut to make the cover body 31 tightly adhere to the canopy assembly 200, effectively increasing the impact resistance of the covered area of ​​the canopy assembly 200. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the number of first connecting members 41 installed on both the left and right sides of the housing body 100 is not limited to two, and the number of first connecting members 41 may be one or more. When there are two or more first connecting members 41, even if the distances between the second connecting members 32 at both ends of the cover body 31 of different protective covers 300 are different, it is possible to make the cover body 31 fit tightly to the covering area of ​​the canopy assembly 200 by selectively connecting each second connecting member 32 to a plurality of first connecting members 41, thereby improving the versatility of the housing body 100 and the protective cover 300.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1, 3, 4, 10, and 11, the surfaces of the cover body 31 and the canopy 22 that come into contact with each other are shaped to match. Specifically, taking the cover body 31 as an example, covering the observation area 222, the U-shaped brackets 21 between adjacent observation sheets 2221 in the observation area 222 project outward relative to the observation sheets 2221. The cover body 31 may be provided with a folded portion 312 at a position corresponding to the U-shaped brackets 21. When the protective cover 300 is connected to the housing body 100, the folded portion 312 cooperates with the U-shaped brackets 21 to effectively prevent the cover body 31 from sliding off the canopy assembly 200. In some embodiments, the protective cover body 31 may also include a skirt 35 that wraps around the outside of the top opening 10 of the housing body 100 to assist in positioning the protective cover body 31 relative to the canopy 22.

[0032] Referring to Figures 10 and 11, the protective cover 300 (i.e., protective device) includes a collision prevention body 311. Specifically, in some embodiments, the collision prevention body 311 is installed in the lateral intermediate region (indicated by dashed lines) of the cover body 31 and can partially reinforce the impact resistance (collision protection) of the area of ​​the canopy assembly 200 that is most susceptible to impact. The collision prevention body 311 may be a single-layer or multi-layer structure and may be connected to the surface of the cover body 31 facing the canopy 22, or may be sandwiched between the outer and inner fabric layers of the cover body 31. If the collision prevention body 311 is a single-layer structure, it may be made of, for example, inert memory foam or other suitable material. If the collision prevention body 311 has a multilayer structure, it may be a combination of, for example, an EPP (expanded polypropylene) material layer, an EPS (expanded polystyrene) material layer, and an EPE (expanded polyethylene, also known as pearl cotton) material layer, or a combination of an inert memory foam material layer and a PE (polyethylene) material layer, or any other suitable combination of material layers. Of course, in some embodiments, the collision prevention body 311 is not limited to being located in the lateral intermediate region of the cover body 31, but can also be provided in each region of the cover body 31 that covers the canopy assembly 200. Referring to Figures 12 and 13, in some embodiments, the collision prevention body 311 can also be provided in the entire or lateral intermediate region of the skirt 35.

[0033] Referring again to Figure 1, in some embodiments, a connecting structure 36 can be provided between the upper edge 316 of the cover body 31 of the protective cover 300 and the canopy assembly 200, the connecting structure 36 including, for example, a third connecting member 361 and a fourth connecting member 362. The third connecting member 361 is connected to the canopy assembly 200, for example, to the canopy 22 or the U-shaped bracket 21. The fourth connecting member 362 is connected to the upper edge 316 of the cover body 31. The third connecting member 361 is detachably connected to the fourth connecting member 362, thereby further preventing the cover body 31 from sliding off the canopy assembly 200. The third connecting member 361 may be, for example, a metal loop or a fabric loop, and the fourth connecting member 362 may be a hook clasp or a fabric strap, the fabric strap can be closed as a loop by wrapping it around the third connecting member 361.

[0034] In some embodiments not shown, the carrier 1000 provided in the first embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure may also be modified as follows.

[0035] 1: In some embodiments, the box 110 of the housing body 100 may include a plastic shell and may not have a bracket device 120, and the seat fabric 150 may not wrap around the box 110 completely, but only around a portion of the box 110 (e.g., the surface of the housing space 113). The box 110 may have a rigid handle, the ends of which are pivotally connected to the middle of two opposing long rods of a first bracket 121. In this case, the canopy assembly 200 may not have a handle 23. Also in some embodiments, the ends of a shoulder strap (not shown) are detachably connected to a free first connecting member 41, and the shoulder strap is placed over the user's shoulder to facilitate the user carrying and moving the carrier (1000).

[0036] II: In some embodiments, the bottom of the canopy assembly 200 and the top of the housing body 100 are connected, for example, by sewing, so that the canopy assembly 200 cannot be detached from the housing body 100. In some embodiments, observation areas 222 may be provided both in front of and behind the canopy 22, and a shielding area 221 may be located in the middle of the canopy 22. At this point, two protective covers 300 may be provided to cover the front and rear observation areas 222 of the canopy 22, respectively. It can be understood that the protective covers 300 not only serve to improve the impact resistance of the canopy 22 but also to provide shade. In some embodiments, the carrier 1000 may have two or more protective covers 300, and the protective covers 300 can improve the impact resistance of each covered area of ​​the canopy assembly 200 by covering not only the observation areas 222 but also the shielding area 221. In some embodiments, the shielding area 221 of the canopy 22 may be made of a light-transmitting mesh fabric or a transparent material, and the protective cover 300 may be made as a cover that covers the canopy 22.

[0037] III: In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 may be detachably connected to both the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200, or the protective cover 300 may be connected only to the canopy assembly 200. The protective cover 300 should be able to cover areas of the canopy assembly 200 where the structural strength is relatively weak, thereby improving the impact resistance of those areas. For example, in some embodiments, the canopy assembly 200 may be provided with one or more first connecting members 41, which are, for example, a metal loop (e.g., a D-shaped loop) arranged along the skirt 25, a single Velcro® strip, or a number of snap buttons, or other suitable structures, and the first connecting member 41 is detachably connected to the canopy assembly 200. The skirt 35 of the cover body 31 may be provided with one or more second connecting members 32. The second connecting members 32 can be a single Velcro® strip, or a number of snap buttons, or other suitable structures arranged along the skirt 35. The first connecting member 41 is detachably connected to the second connecting member 32, thereby detachably connecting the protective cover 300 to the canopy assembly 200.

[0038] A second embodiment of the first aspect: Figure 14 shows the structure of a carrier 1000 provided according to a second embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure. The carrier 1000 is similar to the first embodiment described above and includes a housing body 100, a canopy assembly 200, and a protective cover 300 (not shown). This embodiment mainly modifies the structure of the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200. Where there is no contradiction, the structure of the members of this embodiment and the connections between the members can be referred to in the first embodiment described above, and the differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment described above will be mainly described below.

[0039] The carrier 1000 is positioned on a vehicle seat and can be secured to the vehicle seat (not shown) by any suitable structure. When the carrier 1000 is positioned on a vehicle seat, it will be understood that the longitudinal direction of the rectangular carrier 1000 may correspond to the lateral direction of the vehicle seat. Referring to Figure 14, the carrier 1000 may be equipped with a side impact protection structure (also called a “protective device” or an example or part of a “protective device”), which includes, for example, at least one side impact protection block 5. When the side impact protection block 5 is in use (in this use state, the side impact protection block 5 can mitigate impacts from the side, for example, from a vehicle door), the side impact protection block 5 corresponds to the side of the housing body 100. More specifically, the side impact protection block 5 may be installed at an intermediate position on at least one of the longitudinal sides of the housing body 100. Side impacts are mitigated by the side impact protection block 5, contributing to ensuring the lateral safety of the pet in the housing space 113. The side collision protection block 5 may be directly connected to the housing body 100 or connected to the canopy assembly 200. The side collision protection block 5 should correspond to the side of the housing body 100 in use and be able to transmit the side impact received to the housing body 100. When the side collision protection block 5 is connected to the canopy assembly 200, the side collision protection block 5 can be connected to the front and / or rear of the canopy assembly 200, and when the canopy assembly 200 is connected to the housing body 100 in the deployed state, the side collision protection block 5 is located on the side of the housing body 100 and can perform the function of side collision protection.

[0040] Referring to Figures 14, 16, and 18, in some embodiments, the multiple U-shaped brackets 21 of the canopy assembly 200 further include two canopy frames (also called pivot segments) 211 fixed to the periphery of the canopy 22. Referring to Figures 15 and 16, the opposing ends of the two canopy frames 211 are pivot-connected to two canopy locking devices 24, and each canopy frame 211 is rotatable relative to the canopy locking device 24 about a pivot point O1. Each canopy locking device 24 is used to detachably connect to canopy locking sections 124 on both the left and right sides of the housing body 100.

[0041] Figures 16 and 17 show exemplary embodiments of canopy locking devices 24 and canopy locking sections 124. Each canopy locking device 24 includes a locking member 243 and a housing (also called a locking segment) 245, the locking member 243 being mounted to the housing 245. Two canopy locking sections 124 are mounted, for example, to a first bracket 121, more specifically, to the middle of the long rod of the first bracket 121. Each canopy locking section 124 has a groove 1240 for housing the locking member 243, in which a matching locking member (not shown) can be installed, and the locking member 243 can engage with the matching locking member to lock the relative position of the canopy locking device 24 and the canopy locking section 124. In some embodiments, a seat cloth 150 can be wrapped around the canopy locking section 124, and openings may be provided in the seat cloth 150 at the positions corresponding to the slots 1240.

[0042] The unlocking member may be installed in either the canopy locking device 24 or the canopy locking section 124 and is used to release the engagement between the locking member 243 and the matching locking member. In some embodiments, the unlocking member may be installed in the canopy locking device 24 and is operably connected to the locking member 243. In this embodiment, for example, the unlocking member 125 is located in the canopy locking section 124 and is operably connected to the matching locking member. When it is necessary to remove the canopy assembly 200 from the housing body 100, the unlocking member 125 acts on the matching locking member, causing the matching locking member to disengage from the locking member 243. In some embodiments, a segment adjustment structure may be provided between the end of each canopy frame 211 and the housing 245. The segment adjustment structure may have, for example, corrugated end face teeth, thereby allowing each canopy frame 211 to be held at different angles relative to the housing 245.

[0043] Referring to Figures 14 and 15, when the canopy assembly 200 is deployed, the two canopy frames 211 snap symmetrically front to back at the top opening 10 of the housing body 100, more specifically, sleeved outside the box body 110 and positioned above the first bracket 121 of the bracket device 120. Referring to Figure 18, if it is necessary to open the canopy assembly 200 to facilitate the entry of a pet into the housing space 113, either of the canopy frames 211 can be flipped upward.

[0044] Referring to Figures 14 and 18, in some embodiments, fifth connecting members 114 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the housing body 100, and matching connecting members 2335 corresponding to each fifth connecting member 114 are provided on the front and rear of the canopy 22, respectively, and the fifth connecting members 114 are detachably connected to the corresponding matching connecting members 2335. When the fifth connecting members 114 are connected to the matching connecting members 2335, the canopy assembly 200 is prevented from unexpectedly opening due to the canopy frame 211 unexpectedly flipping upward, and the canopy assembly 200 can be held in an unfolded state. When it is necessary to remove the canopy assembly 200 from the housing body 100, the connection between the fifth connecting members 114 and the matching connecting members 2335 is released. In some embodiments, one of the fifth connecting members 114 and the matching connecting members 2335 is a male connector and the other is a female connector, and when the male connector is connected to the female connector, the canopy assembly 200 is held in an unfolded state. The male and female connectors may be, but are not limited to, a magnetic snap assembly or a buckle assembly that cooperates with each other. Referring to Figure 18, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 is attached to the matching connector 2335. In some alternative embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be attached to a fifth connector 114. In some embodiments, the matching connector 2335 may be connected to the canopy 22 by a connecting strap 236, and the fifth connector 114 may be fixed to the seat fabric 150, or fixed directly to the box body 110 and exposed from the seat fabric 150. Referring to Figure 14, when the matching connector 2335 is connected to the fifth connector 114, the matching connector 2335 is located outside the fifth connector 114, and the side impact protection block 5 is installed on the matching connector 2335 and may protrude outward from the housing of the matching connector 2335.

[0045] Referring to Figure 19, in some embodiments, the position of the side impact protection block 5 corresponds to the first bracket 121. Of course, in some embodiments, the position of the side impact protection block 5 does not correspond to the bracket device 120, but directly to the box body 110. In some embodiments, when the canopy assembly 200 is deployed and the matching connecting member 2335 and the fifth connecting member 114 are not connected, the skirt 25 can shield the fifth connecting member 114. If it is necessary to connect the matching connecting member 2335 to the fifth connecting member 114, the skirt 25 can be moved to expose the fifth connecting member 114, and the fifth connecting member 114 can be connected to the matching connecting member 2335. In some embodiments, the skirt 25 can be made to expose the fifth connecting member 114 by providing a notch at the position corresponding to the fifth connecting member 114. Of course, in some embodiments, the canopy assembly 200 may not have a skirt 25. Referring to Figure 20, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be integrally molded with the matching connecting member 2335.

[0046] Referring to Figure 21, in some embodiments, the matching connecting member 2335 (e.g., a male buckle in this example) may be directly connected to the canopy 22 (e.g., a skirt 25). A fifth connecting member 114 (e.g., a female buckle in this example) may be connected to the housing body 100, and the fifth connecting member 114 may be connected to the seat fabric 150 or box body 110 of the housing body 100, for example, by a connecting strap 237. The side impact protection block 5 is installed on the fifth connecting member 114. Referring to Figure 21, when the matching connecting member 2335 is connected to the fifth connecting member 114, the fifth connecting member 114 is located outside the matching connecting member 2335, and the side impact protection block 5 is installed on the fifth connecting member 114 and can project outward from the housing of the fifth connecting member 114. Of course, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be integrally molded with the fifth connecting member 114.

[0047] Third embodiment in the first aspect: Figure 22 shows the structure of a carrier 1000 provided according to a third embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure, in which a modification of the bracket device 120 of the second embodiment described above is mainly implemented. To the extent that there is no contradiction, the structure of the members of this embodiment and the connection relationships between the members can be referred to in the second embodiment described above, and the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment described above will be mainly described below.

[0048] Referring to Figure 22, in some embodiments, the bracket device 120 is based on the bracket device 120 described in the second embodiment, with an additional second bracket 122 added between the first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123. The additionally added second bracket 122 includes, for example, a connected horizontal segment (not shown) and a vertical segment 1224, the horizontal segment being connected, for example, to the short rod of the third bracket 123, i.e., the horizontal segment extending along the longitudinal direction (i.e., the extension direction of the long rod), and the vertical segment 1224 being connected, for example, to the short rod of the first bracket 121, specifically between the horizontal segment and the short rod of the first bracket 121. The vertical segment 1224 corresponds to the side of the box body 110, and more specifically, a groove (not shown) may be provided in the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and the vertical segment 1224 can be fitted into the groove without protruding from the surface of the peripheral wall 112. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the vertical segment 1224 may be partially fitted into a groove, for example, and partially protrude from the surface of the peripheral wall 112.

[0049] Continuing to refer to Figure 22, in some embodiments, the position of the side impact protection block 5 may correspond to the vertical segment 1224. This allows the impact received by the side impact protection block 5 to be transmitted to the vertical segment 1224.

[0050] A fourth embodiment of the first aspect: A first aspect of this disclosure also provides a fourth embodiment, not shown, which is a variation of the carrier 1000 provided in the second embodiment, more specifically, omitting the side impact protection block 5 that protrudes outward from the housing of the matching connecting member 2335 or the housing of the fifth connecting member 114 in the second embodiment. To the extent that it does not contradict the second embodiment, the structure of the members and the connection relationships between the members in this embodiment can be described by referring to the second embodiment, and the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment described above will be mainly described below.

[0051] In this embodiment, the fifth connecting member 114 may be fixed to the seat fabric 150 and correspond directly to the box body 110 (or the fifth connecting member 114 may be fixed directly to the box body 110 and exposed from the seat fabric 150), thereby the fifth connecting member 114 does not correspond to the bracket device 120. The fifth connecting member 114 and the matching connecting member 2335 can form a magnetic snap assembly. The matching connecting member 2335 can be connected to the canopy assembly 200 (e.g., canopy 22) by a connecting strap 236. After inverting the matching connecting member 2335 downwards and connecting it to the fifth connecting member 114, the aforementioned protective cover 300 can be placed over the canopy assembly 200, and the protective cover 300 can cover the matching connecting member 2335 and the fifth connecting member 114.

[0052] In relation to the foregoing, when the carrier 1000 is attached to a vehicle seat, it will be understood that the left or right side of the housing body 100 will be in contact with the vehicle seat, and the front or rear side of the housing body 100 will face the vehicle door. If the carrier 1000 attached to a vehicle seat is subjected to a side collision (i.e., the front or rear side of the housing body 100 is subjected to a collision), the order in which the carrier 1000 is impacted is, in order, the protective cover 300, the magnetic snap assembly (matching connecting member 2335 and fifth connecting member 114), and the box (e.g., made of foam) 110. In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 in use does not cover the magnetic snap assembly, and if the carrier 1000 attached to a vehicle seat is subjected to a side collision, the order in which the carrier 1000 is impacted is, in order, the magnetic snap assembly (matching connecting member 2335 and fifth connecting member 114), and the box (e.g., made of foam) 110. The magnetic snap assembly of this embodiment does not require a separate side impact protection block and is used as a side impact protection block (side impact protection structure), thus contributing to cost reduction.

[0053] Of course, in some embodiments, the fifth connecting member 114 is fixed to the seat fabric 150, and the fifth connecting member 114 corresponds to the bracket device 120, more specifically to, for example, the first bracket 121 (see Figure 19). The matching connecting member 2335 is connected to the canopy assembly 200, more specifically, the matching connecting member 2335 may be connected to the canopy 22 by a connecting strap 236. The protective cover 300 can cover the matching connecting members 2335 and the fifth connecting member 114 that are connected to each other. When the carrier 100 is attached to a vehicle seat and a side collision occurs, the order in which the carrier 1000 is impacted is, in order, the protective cover 300, the magnetic snap assembly (matching connecting member 2335 and fifth connecting member 114), and the bracket device 120.

[0054] Fifth embodiment of the first aspect: Figure 23 shows a perspective view of a carrier 1000 provided according to a fifth embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure, the carrier 1000 including, for example, a housing body 100 and a canopy assembly 200. The carrier 1000 may or may not have the protective cover 300 in the above embodiment. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200 in this embodiment can be referenced to what was described in the second embodiment above, and the differences between this embodiment and the aforementioned second embodiment will be described below.

[0055] Referring to Figure 23, fifth connecting members 114 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the housing body 100. The fifth connecting members 114 may be fixed to the seat fabric 150, or they may be fixed directly to the box body 110 and exposed from the seat fabric 150. The canopy assembly 200 is equipped with matching connecting members 2335 corresponding to each fifth connecting member 114, and the matching connecting members 2335 are connected to the canopy 22 of the canopy assembly 200, for example, by connecting straps 236. As described in the second embodiment, the fifth connecting members 114 are detachably connected to the matching connecting members 2335. When the fifth connecting members 114 are connected to the matching connecting members 2335, it is possible to prevent the canopy assembly 200 from unexpectedly opening due to the canopy frame 211 unexpectedly flipping upward, and to hold the canopy assembly 200 in an extended state. When it is necessary to remove the canopy assembly 200 from the housing body 100, the connection between the fifth connecting member 114 and the matching connecting member 2335 is released. In some embodiments, one of the fifth connecting member 114 and the matching connecting member 2335 may be a male connector and the other a female connector, and when the male connector is connected to the female connector, the canopy assembly 200 is held in the deployed state. The male and female connectors may be, but are not limited to, a cooperating magnetic snap assembly or buckle assembly.

[0056] As can be seen from Figure 23, in some embodiments, the carrier 1000 may include a side impact protection structure 500 (also called a “protective device” or an example or part of a “protective device”). The side impact protection structure 500 may be installed on the housing body 100 and / or the canopy assembly 200, and the side impact protection structure 500 includes, for example, a side impact protection block 5. When the carrier 1000 is in the use state shown in Figure 23, the canopy assembly 200 is deployed, the side impact protection block 5 is in use, and corresponds to the side of the housing body 100 (more specifically, at least one of the front and rear sides of the housing body 100). Referring to Figure 24, when the carrier 1000 is fixed to the vehicle seat and subjected to a side impact, the side impact protection block 5 can mitigate the effects of a side impact (e.g., impact from a vehicle door) on the housing body 100 (particularly the box 110) and ensure the side safety of the pet in the housing space 113.

[0057] The matching connecting member 2335 shown in Figure 23 is connected to the canopy 22 by a connecting strap 236. When the matching connecting member 2335 is connected to the fifth connecting member 114, the matching connecting member 2335 is located outside the fifth connecting member 114. The side impact protection structure 500 includes, for example, a side impact protection block 5 integrated into the housing of the matching connecting member 2335. That is, the side impact protection block 5 is attached to or integrally molded with the housing of the matching connecting member 2335, or formed directly from the housing of the matching connecting member 2335. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may project outward from the housing of the matching connecting member 2335, as described in the second embodiment of this embodiment.

[0058] In some embodiments, the housing of the matching connecting member 2335 can be used as a lateral collision protection block 5 by changing the size of the housing of the matching connecting member 2335.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 21, for example, the matching connecting member 2335 may be directly connected to, for example, the canopy 22 of the canopy assembly 200, and the fifth connecting member 114 may be connected to the seat fabric 150 or box body 110 of the housing body 100 by a connecting strap 237. When the matching connecting member 2335 is connected to the fifth connecting member 114, the fifth connecting member 114 is located outside the matching connecting member 2335. The side impact protection structure 500 may include a side impact protection block 5 integrated into the housing of the fifth connecting member 114, i.e., the side impact protection block 5 is attached to or integrally molded with the housing of the fifth connecting member 114. Similarly, by changing the size of the housing of the fifth connecting member 114, the housing of the fifth connecting member 114 itself can be used as the side impact protection block 5. Alternatively, the side impact protection block 5 may protrude outward from the housing of the fifth connecting member 114.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 23, the housing of the matching connecting member 2335 or the housing of the fifth connecting member 114 used as the side impact protection block 5 has, for example, a large thickness T and a large side impact contact area (area of ​​the side impact contact surface that receives a side impact) S in order to achieve a side impact protection effect. In some embodiments, the side impact contact area S is 40 cm². 2 From 80cm 2 It is preferable that this is the case. In some embodiments, the height to which the housing of the matching connecting member 2335 used as the side impact protection block 5, or the housing of the fifth connecting member 114, protrudes from the housing body 100 (the direction of this height coincides with the direction of the thickness T) may be between 10 mm and 30 mm.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the matching connecting member 2335 is connected to the fifth connecting member 114, the matching connecting member 2335 and the fifth connecting member 114 may undergo relative rotation when subjected to a side impact under the action of the connecting strap 236 or 237. This relative rotation disperses the instantaneous direction of force, preventing the matching connecting member 2335 and the fifth connecting member 114 from easily separating. As a result, even when an impact occurs, the canopy assembly 200 can reliably continue to cover the housing body 100 without opening the top opening 10 of the housing body 100, protecting the pet in the housing space 113 from falling out of the housing body 100.

[0062] Continuing to refer to Figure 23, in some embodiments, the seat fabric 150 covering the outer surface of the box body 110 may be provided with an open storage pocket 151 and / or a storage pocket 153 equipped with a sealing member 1531, providing the user with multiple spaces for storing items. The sealing member 1531 may be, for example, a zipper, but is not limited thereto. The storage pocket 153 may be, for example, a concealed storage pocket hidden within the seat fabric 150.

[0063] Refer to Figure 24 for perspective views of the enclosure body 110 and bracket device 120 of the housing body 100, and the canopy frame 211 of the canopy assembly 200, and refer to Figure 25 for a cross-sectional view. In some embodiments, the side impact protection structure 500 may include a buffer block 55. The buffer block 55 is installed on the inside 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the enclosure body 110, more specifically on the inside 112b of the peripheral wall 112 on the front and / or rear side (i.e., either side along the longitudinal direction) of the enclosure body 110. The buffer block 55 is used to buffer a side impact between the pet in the housing space 113 and the enclosure body 110. In some embodiments, the enclosure body 110 is made from, for example, foam material, and the buffer block 55 is, for example, integrally molded with the enclosure body 110. In some embodiments, the first side of the buffer block 55 may be attached to the enclosure body 110 by adhesive or other means. The material of the cushioning block 55 may be selected from materials that perform elastic shock absorption functions, and the cushioning block 55 may have a large area and appropriate thickness.

[0064] In some embodiments, if the buffer block 55 has a single-layer structure, it may be formed from, for example, inert memory foam or other suitable material. If the buffer block 55 has a multilayer structure, it may be a combination of, for example, an EPP (expanded polypropylene) material layer, an EPS (expanded polystyrene) material layer, and an EPE (pearl cotton) material layer, or a combination of an inert memory foam material layer and a PE (polyethylene) material layer, or any other suitable combination of material layers.

[0065] In some embodiments, a rigid sheet material can be provided on the second side of the cushioning block 55 opposite the first side (see Figures 41 and 44 for the relative relationship between the rigid sheet material 56 and the box body 110 and the storage space 113). This rigid sheet material may be a plastic sheet made from materials such as PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), or PMMA (polymethylene terephthalate). Alternatively, the rigid sheet material may be a metal sheet that is highly rigid, easily deformable, and has excellent toughness. When a pet collides with the cushioning block 55 of the storage body 100, the rigid sheet material on the inner surface of the cushioning block 55 can quickly disperse the impact force and avoid excessive concentration of the impact force.

[0066] In some embodiments, the peripheral walls 112 of the box body 110 and the buffer blocks 55 can be provided with a perforated structure that allows for easy ventilation. The rigid sheet material on the inner surface of the buffer blocks 55 can be, for example, T-shaped or H-shaped, and rigid sheet material of this shape can avoid the perforated structure on the buffer blocks 55.

[0067] A sixth embodiment of the first aspect: Figure 26 shows a perspective view of a carrier 1000 provided according to a sixth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure, which is a variation of the carrier 1000 provided in the fifth embodiment. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the housing body 100 and canopy assembly 200 of this embodiment can be referenced from that described in the fifth embodiment, and the differences between this embodiment and the aforementioned fifth embodiment will be described below.

[0068] Referring to Figure 26, in this embodiment, open storage pockets 152 are provided on the front and / or rear sides of the seat fabric 150 that covers the outer surface of the box body 110. The storage pockets 152 are, for example, attached or sewn to the seat fabric 150 and used to store small items such as shoulder belts. Furthermore, the storage pockets 152 can at least partially accommodate the corresponding side impact protection blocks 5, thereby preventing the side impact protection blocks 5 from affecting the appearance or being damaged by impact. In some embodiments, the opening edges 1521 of the storage pockets 152 are provided as elastically extendable telescopic structures, which allows for better storage of items.

[0069] In some embodiments, the fifth connecting member 114 is located within a corresponding storage pocket 152, and the side impact protection block 5 is installed on the matching connecting member 2335. When the matching connecting member 2335 is connected to the fifth connecting member 114, the matching connecting member 2335 and the side impact protection block 5 in use are at least partially housed within the storage pocket 152.

[0070] Seventh embodiment of the first aspect: Figure 27 shows a side view of a carrier 1000 provided according to a seventh embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure, which is a variation of the carrier 1000 provided in the fifth embodiment, the main difference between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment being the embodiment of the side impact protection structure 500. To the extent that there is no contradiction, the structure of the housing body 100 and canopy assembly 200 of this embodiment can be described by referring to the description of the fifth embodiment, and the differences between this embodiment and the aforementioned fifth embodiment will be described below.

[0071] Referring to Figure 27, in this embodiment, storage pockets 155 are provided on the front and / or rear sides of the seat cloth 150 covering the outer surface of the box body 110, and the side impact protection structure 500 includes a side impact protection block 5, which is covered by the storage pockets 155. The side impact protection block 5 is positioned below the first bracket 121 of the bracket device 120. The side impact protection block 5 may be a plastic block, and the material of the plastic block is selected from, for example, PC (polycarbonate) plastic, PP (polypropylene) plastic, etc. Alternatively, the side impact protection block 5 may be made of a foamed material. The foamed material is selected from, for example, EPS, EPP, EPE, inert memory foam (also called inert foam), sponge, etc. Alternatively, the side impact protection block 5 may be formed of a soft gel (the soft gel is selected from, for example, silicone or rubber). In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be composed of, for example, an elastic member (e.g., a spring, a leaf spring, etc.). If the carrier 1000 is subjected to a side impact, the side impact is transmitted to the box body 110 and / or bracket device 120 via the side impact protection block 5.

[0072] In some embodiments, the storage pocket 155 may be formed by a piece of fabric sewn onto the outer surface of the seat fabric 150, and the side impact protection block 5 is sandwiched between the fabric piece and the seat fabric 150.

[0073] In some embodiments, the storage pocket 155 may be connected to the seat fabric 150 to form a pocket opening, and a sealing member (not shown) may be installed in the pocket opening, the sealing member being, for example, a zipper. The sealing member can open or close the pocket opening, thereby allowing the side impact protection block 5 to be secured in or removed from the storage pocket 155. In some embodiments, the storage pocket 155 is detachably connected to the seat fabric 150 by the sealing member. For example, if the sealing member is a zipper, the zipper is positioned around the perimeter of the storage pocket 155, allowing the storage pocket 155 to be removed from the seat fabric 150, thereby facilitating the selection of the storage pocket 155 or the replacement of the side impact protection block 5.

[0074] In some embodiments, the storage pocket 155 may be a fabric pocket, and the opening of the fabric pocket may be closed by sewing after the side impact protection block 5 is placed in the fabric pocket, or by an openable sealing member, and the fabric pocket is then sewn to the outer surface of the seat fabric 150.

[0075] It should be noted that the size of the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 and the height of the side impact protection block 5 that protrudes relative to the seat fabric 150 (also called the thickness of the side impact protection block 5) may differ depending on the material of the side impact protection block 5. For example, if the side impact protection block 5 is made of plastic, the plastic block has high hardness and excellent impact resistance, so the size of the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 may be small, for example, between 20 cm² and 60 cm², and the height of the side impact protection block 5 that protrudes relative to the seat fabric 150 may be between 40 mm and 100 mm, preferably 75 mm. If the side impact protection block 5 is made of foam material, the hardness of the side impact protection block 5 is relatively low, and in this case, the side impact contact surface area S of the side impact protection block 5 may be large, for example, 80 cm². 2 ~180cm 2The height of the side impact protection block 5, which can be located between the seat fabric 150 and the seat fabric 150, may be between 20 mm and 60 mm, and preferably 40 mm.

[0076] Eighth embodiment of the first aspect: Figure 28 shows a perspective view of a carrier provided according to an eighth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure, and Figure 29 shows the cross-sectional structure of Figure 28. As shown, this embodiment is a variation of the carrier 1000 provided in the seventh embodiment, and the main difference between this embodiment and the seventh embodiment lies in the embodiment of the side impact protection structure 500. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the housing body 100 and canopy assembly 200 of this embodiment can be described by referring to the description in the second embodiment, and the differences between this embodiment and the aforementioned second embodiment will be described below.

[0077] Referring to Figures 28 and 29, in this embodiment, the side impact protection structure 500 may include a side impact protection block 5, which is installed, for example, on the outside 112a of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and more specifically on the outside 112a of the front and / or rear peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110. If the box body 110 is made of foam material, the side impact protection block 5 may be integrally molded with the box body 110, for example. Of course, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be attached to the box body 110 by, for example, adhesive, secondary molding, engagement, etc. In some embodiments, the box body 110 may be provided with a plurality of perforated structures 1101.

[0078] In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be formed of a foamed material, and the shape of the side impact protection block 5 is, for example, rectangular, but is not limited to a rectangle. The area of ​​the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 is 80 cm². 2 ~180cm 2 The thickness D may be within the range of 60 mm, preferably 40 mm. It will be understood that the material, shape and size of the side impact protection block 5 are not limited to the above examples.

[0079] For example, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may have a planar side impact contact surface S, and a plurality of equally spaced convex hulls may be provided on the side impact contact surface S. In some embodiments, the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 does not have to be planar, and may be, for example, spherical or hemispherical.

[0080] Figure 30 shows a modified embodiment of the cross-sectional structure shown in Figure 29, in which the side impact protection structure 500 may further include a buffer block 55, which is installed on the inside 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, more specifically on the inside 112b of the front and / or rear peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110. In some embodiments, the position of the buffer block 55 corresponds one-to-one with the position of, for example, the side impact protection block 5. For the material of the buffer block 55, refer to the relevant description of the buffer block 55 in the fifth embodiment. In some embodiments, a rigid sheet material (see rigid sheet material 56 in Figure 34) may be installed on the inner surface of the buffer block 55 facing the containment space 113.

[0081] The storage body 100 may further include seat fabric 150, and the seat fabric 150 wrapped around the outer surface of the box body 110 may be wrapped around the side collision protection block 5, and the seat fabric 150 wrapped around the inner surface of the box body 110 may be wrapped around the cushioning block 55, thereby giving the storage body 100 a neat appearance.

[0082] The ninth embodiment of the first aspect: Figure 31 shows the structure of a carrier 1000 provided according to a ninth embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure, which is a variation of the carrier 1000 provided in the fifth embodiment. To the extent that there is no contradiction, the structure of the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200 in this embodiment can be described by referring to the description in the fifth embodiment, and the differences between this embodiment and the aforementioned fifth embodiment will be described below. For example, this embodiment can also include a side impact protection structure installed on the canopy, or it is possible to add another side impact protection structure, etc., based on the structure of the fifth embodiment described above, which will be described later.

[0083] Referring to Figures 31 and 32, in this embodiment, the side impact protection structure 500 includes side impact protection blocks 5 connected to the front and / or rear of the canopy 22. When the canopy assembly 200 is deployed, the shapes of the contacting side impact protection blocks 5 and the surface of the canopy 22 are matched.

[0084] From the above, it will be understood that in some embodiments, the canopy 22 of the canopy assembly 200 may include a shielding area 221 and an observation area 222. At least one side impact protection block 5 may be installed in the area of ​​the shielding area 221 away from the observation area 222 (corresponding to the front of the canopy 22 in Figure 31). And / or, at least one side impact protection block 5 may be installed in the area of ​​the observation area 222 away from the shielding area 221 (for example, corresponding to the rear of the canopy 22).

[0085] Referring to the exemplary structure of the side impact protection block 5 shown in Figure 32, in some embodiments, each side impact protection block 5 may include a integrally molded sheet material, which may be made of a foam material (selected from, for example, EPS, EPP, EPE, inert memory foam, sponge, or a combination thereof). The side impact protection block 5 can be fixed to the inside of the canopy 22 by sewing. The thickness of the side impact protection block 5 may be between 20 mm and 60 mm, preferably 40 mm. When the canopy assembly 200 is folded, the sheet material can be folded together with the canopy fabric 22.

[0086] Continuing to refer to Figure 32, if the sheet material form of the side impact protection block 5 corresponds to at least two shielding sheets 2211 or at least two observation sheets 2221, the side impact protection block 5 accordingly includes at least two sheet material portions 511 and a bent portion 512 formed between two adjacent sheet material portions 511. The size of each sheet material portion 511 approximates, for example, the size of the corresponding shielding sheet 2211 or observation sheet 2221. The bent portion 512 corresponds to a U-shaped bracket 21, and the bent portion 512 may have a laterally extending slit, which allows the side impact protection block 5 to fit more closely to the arch shape of the protective cover 300 and the canopy 22. Of course, in some embodiments, the sheet material form of the side impact protection block 5 may include only one sheet material portion 511, and the shape of the one sheet material portion 511 can be matched to the shape of the corresponding one shielding sheet 2211 or observation sheet 2221.

[0087] A tenth embodiment of the first aspect: Figure 33 shows a perspective view of a carrier 1000 provided according to a tenth embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure. The carrier 1000 primarily performs a deformation with respect to the canopy 22 of the canopy assembly 200 of the carrier 1000 provided in any of the above embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of each component of the carrier 1000 in this embodiment and the connections between the components can be found in the above description and will not be repeated here.

[0088] Referring to Figure 33, a canopy opening 201 is provided in a portion of the canopy 22 (e.g., the shielding area 221), and a sealing member 223 is provided in the canopy opening 201, which can close or open the canopy opening 201. After being opened, the canopy opening 201 does not communicate with the containment space 113, but exposes the extended observation area 224, and the materials and functions of the extended observation area 224 can be based on those of the observation area 222 described above. When the extended observation area 224 is not needed, the canopy opening 201 is closed by the sealing member 223, and the extended observation area 224 is covered by the shielding sheet 2211.

[0089] In some embodiments, the sealing member 223 includes, for example, a zipper chain 2231, a zipper chain 2232, and a zipper head 2233. The zipper chains 2231 and 2232 are connected by the zipper head 2233 to close the canopy opening 201. As shown in Figure 33, the zipper chain 2232 is attached to the edge 22111 of the shielding sheet 2211 covering the extended observation area 224, and the edges 22112 of the shielding sheet 2211 adjacent to both ends of the zipper chain 2232 are separated from the skirt 25. This allows the zipper chains 2231 and 2232 to separate from each other when the sealing member 223 fully opens the canopy opening 201, and the shielding sheet 2211 covering the extended observation area 224 to be inverted downwards to expose the extended observation area 224. It will be understood that embodiments of the sealing member 223 are not limited to the zipper structure described above.

[0090] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first connecting member 41 used to connect to the second connecting member 32 of the protective cover 300 may be installed in an appropriate position on the skirt 25. The first connecting member 41 may be, for example, a metal loop or a plastic loop, and may be connected to the skirt 25 by webbing 411.

[0091] Referring to Figures 33 to 35, in this embodiment, the fifth connecting member 114 is installed on both opposing sides (front and rear) of the box body 110. The fifth connecting member 114 may be fixed to the seat fabric 150, or it may be fixed directly to the box body 110 and exposed from the seat fabric 150. Matching connecting members 2335 are installed on the corresponding sides of the canopy 22 of the canopy assembly 200 (front and rear of the canopy 22). More specifically, the matching connecting members 2335 are connected to the skirt 25 of the canopy 22, for example, via connecting straps 236. The matching connecting members 2335 are detachably connected to the corresponding fifth connecting member 114. As described in the fifth embodiment, when the matching connecting members 2335 are connected to the fifth connecting member 114, the canopy assembly 200 is held in an unfolded state, and the canopy 22 closes the top opening 10 of the housing body 100. In some embodiments, one of the fifth connecting member 114 and the matching connecting member 2335 may be a male connector and the other a female connector, and when the male connector is connected to the female connector, the canopy assembly 200 is held in the deployed state. The male and female connectors may be, but are not limited to, a cooperating magnetic snap assembly, buckle assembly, etc.

[0092] Referring to FIG. 34, in this embodiment, when the matching connection member 2335 is connected to the fifth connection member 114, it is not necessary to arrange the side impact protection block 5 protruding outward relative to the housing of the matching connection member 2335 shown in FIG. 14 on the matching connection member 2335, and it is not necessary to additionally change the size (e.g., thickness or surface area of the housing) of the housing of the matching connection member 2335. The matching connection member 2335 itself located on the front side or the rear side of the housing body 100 can be used as a side impact protection block. In some embodiments, the matching connection member 2335 protrudes outward by a predetermined distance Q1 (i.e., the first distance) relative to the canopy frame 211, or the matching connection member 2335 protrudes outward by a fixed distance Q2 (i.e., the second distance) relative to the housing body 100 (more specifically, relative to the first bracket 121), or the matching connection member 2335 protrudes outward by a fixed distance Q3 (i.e., the third distance) relative to the box body 110, where Q1<Q2<Q3, so that the matching connection member 2335 achieves a better side impact protection function.

[0093] Referring to FIGS. 36 to 38, the structure of the fifth connection member 114 and the connection method between the fifth connection member 114 and the housing body 100 are exemplarily shown.

[0094] Referring to FIG. 38, the housing of the fifth connection member 114 includes a first buckle body 1141, two first connection holes 1140 located on opposite sides of the first buckle body 1141, and two first connection tongues 1143 extending outward from opposite sides of the first buckle body 1141. A magnetic member can be provided in the first buckle body 1141. A convex portion 1142 is provided at the middle portion of the first buckle body 1141, and the convex portion 1142 is, for example, a circular convex portion. The two first connection tongues 1143 are respectively adjacent to the two first connection holes 1140, and the housing of the first buckle body 1141 is, for example, integrally injection-molded with the two first connection tongues 1143.

[0095] Referring to Figures 36 and 37, the fifth connecting member 114 can be connected to the housing body 100 by a connecting strap 238. Specifically, both ends 2380 of the connecting strap 238 are folded back after passing through two first connecting holes 1140 from one side of the first buckle body 1141 away from the protrusion 1142, and two first connecting tongues 1143 are positioned within the connecting strap 238, after which the first connecting tongues 1143, the connecting strap 238, and the seat fabric 150 are connected to each other by means such as sewing or riveting. In this embodiment, the connecting strap 238, the first connecting tongues 1143, and the seat fabric 150 are specifically connected to each other by sewing lines 2381 and 2382. The first connecting tongue 1143 effectively prevents the fifth connecting member 114 from reversing around the connecting strap 238, thereby preventing the fifth connecting member 114 from reversing 180° and the protrusion 1142 from facing the seat fabric 150.

[0096] Referring to Figures 34 and 39, in some embodiments, a rigid protective piece 1181 may be provided between the seat fabric 150 and the box body 110, with the protective piece 1181 corresponding to the position of the fifth connecting member 114. The protective piece 1181 may be, for example, a rigid sheet material, for which the description of the rigid sheet material in the fifth embodiment can be found. This allows the protective piece 1181 to quickly disperse the impact force when the fifth connecting member 114 is subjected to a lateral impact, thus avoiding the possibility of excessive concentration of the impact force damaging the box body 110, which is made of foam material.

[0097] Referring to Figure 39, in some embodiments, the connecting strap 238, the first connecting tongue 1143, and the sewing lines 2381 and 2382 for sewing the seat fabric 150 may also be connected to the protective piece 1181. This ensures the relative position of the protective piece 1181 and the fifth connecting member 114. In some embodiments, the protective piece 1181 may be fixed to, for example, a pad 1182. The pad 1182 may include, for example, a single-layer or multi-layer structure made of a woven fabric. In this embodiment, the protective piece 1181 (shown by the dashed line in Figure 39) is connected to the pad 1182 by, for example, a sewing line 1081, which is routed, for example, around the perimeter of the protective piece 1181. In some embodiments, the protective piece 1181 may be connected to the pad 1182 by, for example, adhesive or riveted connections. In some embodiments, the pad 1182 is close to the box body 110, the protective piece 1181 is close to the seat fabric 150, and the area of ​​the pad 1182 is not smaller than the area of ​​the protective piece 1181, thereby preventing the protective piece 1181 from directly contacting the box body 110, which is made of foam material, and causing wear on the box body 110. Of course, in some embodiments, the area of ​​the pad 1182 may be smaller than the area of ​​the protective piece 1181.

[0098] Continuing to refer to Figure 39, in some embodiments, the seat fabric 150 includes, for example, sewing lines 1501, 1502, 1503, and 1504 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, each sewing line used to sew two adjacent portions of the seat fabric 150 (including, but not limited to, fabric). Sewing line 1502 connects, for example, to both the protective piece 1181 and the pad 1182. The fabric positioned between sewing lines 1503 and 1504 corresponds, for example, to the folded portion between the peripheral wall 112 and the bottom 111 of the box body 110, with the bottom edge of the protective piece 1181 positioned, for example, above sewing line 1503. In this case, sewing line 1081 may be cut at the bottom of the protective piece 1181 without forming a closed loop, so that the pad 1182 can be easily folded and connected to the seat fabric 150 by sewing line 1503. On the other hand, the sewing line 1503 does not need to be connected to the protective piece 1181. Of course, in other embodiments, the seat fabric 150 may also have other embodiments, and the way in which the pad 1182 is connected to the protective piece 1181 and the way in which the pad 1182 is connected to the seat fabric 150 is not limited to the examples above.

[0099] Referring to Figure 40, the structure of the matching connecting member 2335 is illustrated. The matching connecting member 2335 includes, for example, a second buckle body 23351, a second connecting hole 23350 located on one side of the second buckle body 23351, and a second connecting tongue 23353 extending outward from the side where the second connecting hole 23350 is located. A magnetic member may be provided within the second buckle body 23351. The second buckle body 23351 has a recess 23352 in the middle, which is used to magnetically snap into place with a protrusion 1142 of the first buckle body 1141. Referring to Figures 34 and 35, the matching connecting member 2335 may be connected to the skirt 25 by a connecting strap 236. Specifically, the connecting strap 236 passes through the second connecting hole 23350 and has portions located on both sides of the second connecting tongue 23353. The portions of the connecting strap 236 located on both sides of the second connecting tongue 23353 can be connected to each other by sewing or riveting. In this embodiment, the connecting strap 236 is connected to the second connecting tongue 23353 by a sewing line 2361.

[0100] Referring again to Figures 33 and 35, the matching connecting member 2335 and the fifth connecting member 114 are connected, and in the event of a side impact, the middle portion of the canopy 22 is securely connected to the canopy lock portion 124 of the housing body 100 by the canopy lock device 24 (see the description of the second embodiment above), and the canopy 22 is easily separated from the housing body 100 at either the front or rear. In this embodiment, since the front or rear of the canopy 22 is connected to the matching connecting member 2335 by the connecting strap 236, the matching connecting member 235 is rotatable in the N1 or N2 direction relative to the fifth connecting member 114 (the connecting strap 236 may limit the rotation angle of the matching connecting member 235 in the N1 or N2 direction to less than 90 degrees). This relative rotation disperses the instantaneous force direction, preventing the matching connecting member 2335 and the fifth connecting member 114 from easily separating, thus avoiding the front or rear of the canopy 22 separating from the housing body 100.

[0101] Eleventh embodiment of the first aspect: Figure 41 shows a partial cross-sectional view of a carrier 1000 provided according to an eleventh embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure. Unless otherwise inconsistent, the structure of the carrier 1000 shown in this embodiment can be described by referring to the above description of the carrier 1000 shown in Figure 34. The structure of the carrier 1000 shown in Figure 34 is generally used for small to medium-sized carriers. In the case of small to medium-sized carriers, the housing body 100, canopy assembly 200, and protective cover 300 are all small in size and light in weight, so a handle 23 can be provided on the canopy 22, and the user can lift the carrier 1000 using the handle 23. The structure of the carrier 1000 shown in Figure 41 is generally used for large to medium-sized carriers 1000. In the case of large to medium-sized carriers, the housing body 100, canopy assembly 200, and protective cover 300 are all large in size and heavy in weight, so a handle 29 can be attached to the housing body 100, and the user can lift the carrier 1000 using the handle 29.

[0102] Referring to Figure 41, a side impact protection block 5 can be provided on the outer side 112a of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and an embodiment of the side impact protection block 5 can be found in the description relating to the side impact protection block 5 in the eighth embodiment of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the position of the side impact protection block 5 corresponds to the position of the fifth connecting member 114 and the protective piece 1181, the side impact protection block 5 may be formed of energy-absorbing foam, and is positioned below the first bracket 121, and the side impact protection block 5 can further improve the side impact protection performance of the housing body 100.

[0103] Referring to Figures 41 and 44, in some medium- and large-sized carriers 1000, a slot-type structure 1112 can be provided on the inside 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110 of the housing body 100, and a buffer block 55 can be attached to the slot-type structure 1112, with the buffer block 55 protruding from the inside 112b. The buffer block 55 is used to buffer lateral collisions between the pet in the housing space 113 and the box body 110. In some embodiments, a rigid sheet material 56 can be installed on the inside 55b of the buffer block 55 away from the peripheral wall 112, and the rigid sheet material 56 may be a plastic sheet made from materials such as PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), or PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). In some embodiments, both the buffer block 55 and the rigid sheet material 56 can be T-shaped. Furthermore, for the medium- and large-sized carrier 1000, instead of providing a handle on the canopy 22, a rigid handle 29 can be attached to the bracket device 120, and the housing body 100 can be easily moved using the rigid handle 29.

[0104] It should be noted that when the canopy 22 is not connected to the housing body 100, the fifth connecting member 114 and its protrusion 1142 can also function as a side impact protection block. When the fifth connecting member 114 is subjected to a side impact, the protrusion 1142 can transmit the impact force toward the protective piece 1181, the side impact protection block 5, and the box body 110. The protective piece 1181 can quickly disperse the impact force, the side impact protection block 5 can buffer the impact force and absorb energy, and the foam box body 110 itself can also absorb the impact force. When the canopy 22 is connected to the housing body 100, the matching connecting member 2335 is connected to the fifth connecting member 114, and the interlocking action of the recess 23352 of the matching connecting member 2335 and the protrusion 1142 of the fifth connecting member 114 increases the surface area for transmitting the impact force (in the case of an integrally molded side impact protection block, there is no such transmission transfer area). This improves the transmission and dispersion effect of the impact force. Furthermore, a metal structure can be provided inside the protrusion 1142, thereby stabilizing the structure of the protrusion 1142 and enabling better transmission of impact force.

[0105] Furthermore, the bracket device 120 of the housing body 100 can also provide a side impact protection function. For example, if the housing body 100 is subjected to a large side impact that deforms the box body 110, the deformed box body 110 can transmit the impact force to the bracket device 120, and the impact force can be transmitted to the snap-in sheet via the third bracket 123 of the bracket device 120.

[0106] A twelfth embodiment of the first aspect: Figures 45 to 47 show perspective views of a protective cover 300 provided according to a twelfth embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure. Figure 48 shows the internal structure of the cover body 31 of the protective cover 300. Figures 49 and 50 show perspective views of two collision prevention bodies 311. The function of the protective cover 300 provided in this embodiment is similar to that of the protective cover 300 in the first embodiment. The protective cover 300 is used to cover at least a portion of the area of ​​the canopy assembly 200 of the carrier 1000, improving the impact resistance of the shielded area of ​​the canopy assembly 200. Furthermore, similar to the first embodiment, the “protective cover” of this embodiment can also be an example or part of a “protective device”.

[0107] Referring to Figures 45 to 47, the protective cover 300 may include a cover body 31 and at least one second connecting member 32. The cover body 31 extends laterally (i.e., left-right direction of the housing body 100) and can laterally cover the front or rear of the canopy assembly 200. The cover body 31 in this embodiment has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, and two hook clasps are provided at both ends of the cover body 31, and these two hook clasps function as two second connecting members 32. The two second connecting members 32 are used to detachably connect to two first connecting members 41 on the housing body 100 or the canopy assembly 200. As can be seen by referring to the description of the first embodiment above, embodiments of the second connecting member 32 are not limited to hook clasps.

[0108] Referring to Figures 45 and 47, the cover body 31 includes an outer woven fabric layer 301 and an inner woven fabric layer 302. When the protective cover 300 is in use, the cover body 31 is arched, with the outer woven fabric layer 301 facing away from the canopy assembly 200 and the inner woven fabric layer 302 facing the canopy assembly 200. Both the outer woven fabric layer 301 and the inner woven fabric layer 302 may be formed from woven fabric. In some embodiments, both the outer woven fabric layer 301 and the inner woven fabric layer 302 may be formed by joining a plurality of fabric pieces. In this embodiment, the outer woven fabric layer 301 may be formed by joining fabric pieces 3a, 3b, and 3c. For example, fabric piece 3c corresponds to the skirt portion 35 of the cover body 31, and the second connecting member 32 is connected to, for example, fabric piece 3c. Both ends of fabric piece 3a are connected to both ends of fabric piece 3c, and fabric piece 3b is connected between fabric piece 3a and fabric piece 3c. The inner woven layer 302 may be formed by joining fabric piece 3d and fabric piece 3e. In some embodiments, fabric piece 3d corresponds to, for example, fabric piece 3a, and fabric piece 3e corresponds to, for example, fabric pieces 3b and 3c. Of course, in other embodiments, the embodiments of the outer woven layer 301 and the inner woven layer 302 are not limited to those described above.

[0109] Referring to Figure 48, the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 define one or more accommodating spaces 313 to which one or more anti-collision bodies 311 are attached (the outlines of each anti-collision body 311 are shown by dashed lines in Figure 48). The size of the outer outline of each anti-collision body 311 corresponds, for example, to the size of the corresponding accommodating space 313. When the protective cover 300 is in use, each anti-collision body 311 of the protective cover 300 can provide a better anti-collision protection effect to the canopy assembly 200.

[0110] Referring to Figure 48 and continuing the explanation in conjunction with Figure 34, in some embodiments, when the protective cover 300 is matched with a small to medium-sized carrier 1000, the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 define, for example, two storage spaces 313. The two storage spaces 313 are a first storage space 3131 and a second storage space 3132, respectively, both of which extend substantially laterally and are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction. The first storage space 3131 corresponds to an area covered by, for example, a piece of fabric 3d, and the second storage space 3132 corresponds to an area covered by, for example, a piece of fabric 3e. Two collision prevention bodies 311 are installed within the two containment spaces 313, which are the first collision prevention body 3111 and the second collision prevention body 3112, respectively. The first collision prevention body 3111 is located in the first containment space 3131, and the second collision prevention body 3112 is located in the second containment space 3132. The two containment spaces 313 are separated by a structure such as a sewing line 317 or adhesive line connecting the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. This ensures that each collision prevention body 311 is located within its corresponding containment space 313 and does not easily move to the other containment space 313. In some embodiments, the sewing line 317 extends along, for example, the connection point between fabric piece 3d and fabric piece 3e.

[0111] Referring to Figures 48 and 49, in some embodiments, the first collision prevention body 3111 may employ a single-layer structure, for example, consisting of a single-layer sheet material. The first collision prevention body 3111 extends laterally to provide collision prevention protection while also providing support for the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. The single-layer sheet material may be a flexible sheet material, for example, a cushioning material. In some embodiments, the flexible sheet material may be formed from, for example, a foamed material, which may be, for example, EPP, EPS, EPO (expanded polystyrene polyethylene mixture), EPE material, etc. In some embodiments, the flexible sheet material may consist of foamed cotton (e.g., inert memory foam). Of course, in other embodiments, the entire first collision prevention body 3111 may have a multilayer structure, or the lateral intermediate region of the first collision prevention body 3111 (corresponding to the lateral intermediate region of the cover body 31) may have a multilayer structure. The multilayer structure may be formed by laminating multiple layers of sheet material, and the multiple layers of sheet material may include at least one flexible sheet material and at least one rigid sheet material, or all of the multiple layers of sheet material may be either flexible or rigid. Adjacent sheet materials may be fixed together with adhesive, or the multiple layers of sheet material may be bundled together with straps. Of course, in some embodiments, the first collision prevention body 3111 may be made of a single layer of rigid sheet material, and the rigid sheet material may be, for example, a plastic sheet.

[0112] Referring to Figures 48 and 50, at least a portion of the second collision prevention body 3112 may have a multilayer structure to at least partially enhance the collision prevention protective effect of the second collision prevention body 3112. Of course, in some embodiments, the second collision prevention body 3112 may also be composed of a single layer of soft sheet material or a single layer of hard sheet material. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the entire second collision prevention body 3112 may have a multilayer structure. For specific embodiments of the multilayer structure, please refer to the above description of the multilayer structure of the first collision prevention body 3111.

[0113] In this embodiment, when the pet's head is located below the protective cover 300, the lateral intermediate region of the second collision prevention body 3112 is close to the pet's head and is considered to be susceptible to impact. For this reason, an intermediate collision prevention section 3110 is provided in the lateral intermediate region of the second collision prevention body 3112. The intermediate collision prevention section 3110 has a multilayer structure, thereby partially enhancing the collision prevention protection effect of the lateral intermediate region of the second collision prevention body 3112 while effectively reducing costs.

[0114] Figure 50 shows an exemplary embodiment of the second collision prevention body 3112. The second collision prevention body 3112 includes a sheet material 31121 extending laterally, a sheet material 31122 installed in the laterally intermediate region of sheet material 31121, and a sheet material 31123 installed on sheet material 31122. Both sheet materials 31121 and 31122 may be soft sheet materials, and sheet material 31123 may be a hard sheet material. The multilayer structure of the intermediate collision prevention section 3110 includes laminated sheet materials 31121, 31122, and 31123, with adjacent sheet materials fixed together, for example, by adhesive. Sheet material 31121 is close to the outer woven fabric layer 301, and sheet material 31123 is close to the inner woven fabric layer 302. The size of the outer contour of the sheet material 31121 corresponds to the size of the second containment space 3132, and the laterally extending sheet material 31121 supports the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302, while ensuring that the outer fabric layer 301 has a relatively flat appearance. The periphery of the sheet material 31122 does not protrude, for example, relative to the sheet material 31121. The periphery of the sheet material 31123 does not protrude, for example, relative to the sheet material 31122, thereby preventing the edges of the rigid sheet material 31123 from abrading and penetrating the inner fabric layer 302 when pressed. Of course, in some embodiments, the periphery of the sheet material 31123 may protrude from the sheet material 31122, i.e., the size of the sheet material 31123 may be larger than the size of the sheet material 31122. In some embodiments, the corners of the sheet material 31123 are arc-shaped. In some embodiments, the intermediate collision prevention section 3110 has a portion that extends to the skirt 35, and this portion may provide a side collision prevention protection function.

[0115] In some embodiments, the sheet material 31121 may be made from, for example, a foamed material, which may be, for example, EPP, EPS, EPO (expanded polystyrene polyethylene mixture), EPE, etc. The sheet material 31122 may be made from foamed cotton (e.g., inert memory foam). The sheet material 31123 is, for example, a plastic sheet. In some embodiments, the rigid plastic sheet may be made from materials such as PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), etc. If the sheet material 31123 is a rigid sheet material, when a pet collides with the sheet material 31123, the sheet material 31123 can disperse the impact force, preventing excessive concentration of the impact force.

[0116] Figures 51 and 52 show a modified embodiment of the second collision prevention body 3112 shown in Figure 50, and Figure 53 shows a partial cross-sectional view of the carrier 1000 with a protective cover 300 including the second collision prevention body 3112. Referring to Figures 51 and 52, in the modified embodiment of the second collision prevention body 31122, sheet material 31122 is installed in the lateral intermediate region of sheet material 31121, sheet material 31123 is installed on sheet material 31122, sheet material 31124 is installed on sheet material 31123, and sheet material 31125 is installed on sheet material 31124.

[0117] In some embodiments, the sheet materials of adjacent second collision prevention bodies 3112 are fixed together, for example, by an adhesive. Sheet material 31121 is, for example, a flexible sheet material (including, but not limited to, an EPP sheet). The lateral size of sheet material 31122 is smaller than the lateral size of sheet material 31121, and the longitudinal size of sheet material 31122 is not larger than the longitudinal size of sheet material 31121. The material of sheet material 31122 is, for example, the same as the material of sheet material 31124, and both sheet material 31122 and sheet material 31124 are soft sheet materials (including, but not limited to, foam boards) with a thick thickness. The material of sheet material 31123 is, for example, the same as the material of sheet material 31125, and both sheet material 31123 and sheet material 31125 are hard sheet materials (including, but not limited to, PE boards) with a thin thickness. The size of sheet material 31123 may be smaller than the size of sheet material 31122. The lateral size of sheet material 31124 may be larger than the lateral size of sheet material 31123, but not larger than the lateral size of sheet material 31122. The size of sheet material 31125 may be smaller than the size of sheet material 31124. Referring to Figures 51 to 53, the second collision prevention body 3112 is, for example, stepped, and sheet material 31124 is positioned in the longitudinal direction, corresponding to an upward offset position of sheet material 31121, and substantially above the box body 110.

[0118] Embodiments of the second collision prevention body 3112 are not limited to the examples described above. Referring to Figures 54 and 55, in some alternative embodiments, at least one end of the upper and lower ends of each sheet material of the second collision prevention body 3112 may have a matching shape. In Figure 54, the upper ends of each sheet material of the second collision prevention body 3112 are matching. In Figure 55, both the upper and lower ends of each sheet of the second collision prevention body 3112 are matching.

[0119] In some embodiments, sheet material 31123 and sheet material 31125 are all designed with rounded corners, thereby preventing the edges of the rigid sheet material 31123 from abrading and penetrating the inner woven fabric layer 302 when pressed. The periphery of sheet material 31123 does not extend beyond the periphery of sheet material 31122, for example, and the periphery of sheet material 31125 does not extend beyond the periphery of sheet material 31124, for example. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, at least a portion of the periphery of sheet material 31123 may extend beyond the periphery of sheet material 31122, and at least a portion of the periphery of sheet material 31125 may extend beyond the periphery of sheet material 31124.

[0120] Thirteenth embodiment of the first aspect: Figures 56 to 58 show perspective views of a protective cover provided according to a thirteenth embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure. Figure 59 schematically shows the internal structure of the protective cover shown in Figure 58. Figures 60 to 62 show perspective views of three collision prevention bodies 311. The protective cover 300 provided in this embodiment is a variation of the protective cover 300 provided in the twelfth embodiment, and the differences between the protective cover 300 of this embodiment and the protective cover 300 of the twelfth embodiment will be described below. Note that the "protective cover" of this embodiment may also function as an example or part of a "protective device".

[0121] Referring to Figures 56 to 58, the cover body 31 of the protective cover 300 includes an outer woven fabric layer 301 and an inner woven fabric layer 302. The outer woven fabric layer can be formed by joining together fabric pieces 3f, 3g, 3h, and 3i. Fabric piece 3i corresponds to, for example, the skirt 35 of the cover body 31, and the second connecting member 32 is connected to, for example, fabric piece 3i. Both ends of fabric piece 3f are connected to both ends of fabric piece 3i. Fabric pieces 3g and 3h are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction and connected between fabric pieces 3f and 3i. The inner woven fabric layer 302 may be formed by joining together fabric pieces 3j, 3k, and 3m. Both ends of fabric piece 3j are connected to both ends of fabric piece 3m, and fabric piece 3k is connected between fabric piece 3j and fabric piece 3m. In some embodiments, fabric piece 3j corresponds to, for example, fabric piece 3f, fabric piece 3k corresponds to, for example, fabric pieces 3g and 3h, and fabric piece 3m corresponds to, for example, fabric piece 3i. Of course, in other embodiments, the embodiments of the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 are not limited to those described above.

[0122] Referring to Figures 59 and 41 to 43, in some embodiments, when the protective cover 300 is matched to a large-to-medium sized carrier 100, the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 define, for example, three storage spaces 313. The three storage spaces 313 are the third storage space 3133, the fourth storage space 3134, and the fifth storage space 3135, respectively. All three storage spaces 313 extend laterally, and the three storage spaces 313 are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction. The third storage space 3133 corresponds to the area covered by, for example, a piece of fabric 3j, the fourth storage space 3134 corresponds to the area covered by, for example, a piece of fabric 3k, and the fifth storage space 3135 corresponds to the area covered by, for example, a piece of fabric 3m.

[0123] Three collision prevention bodies 311 (the outlines of each collision prevention body 311 are shown by dashed lines in Figure 59) are installed within the three containment spaces 313, and the three collision prevention bodies 311 are the third collision prevention body 3113, the fourth collision prevention body 3114, and the fifth collision prevention body 3115, respectively. The third collision prevention body 3113 is located in the third containment space 3133, the fourth collision prevention body 3114 is located in the fourth containment space 3134, and the fifth collision prevention body 3115 is located in the fifth containment space 3135. The size of the outer outline of each collision prevention body 311 corresponds, for example, to the size of the corresponding containment space 313. Adjacent containment spaces 313 are spaced apart by structures such as sewing lines 318, sewing lines 319, or adhesive lines that connect the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. In some embodiments, the sewing line 318 extends along the connection point between fabric piece 3j and fabric piece 3k, and the sewing line 319 extends along the connection point between fabric piece 3m and fabric pieces 3j and 3k.

[0124] Referring to Figures 59 and 60, and also to Figure 41, the third collision prevention body 3113 can have a single-layer structure, that is, a better collision prevention protection effect can be achieved. The single-layer third collision prevention body 3113 may be a single-layer soft sheet material or a single-layer hard sheet material, and for specific embodiments of the single-layer soft sheet material or single-layer hard sheet material, refer to the above description of the first collision prevention body 3111 in the 12th embodiment. In this embodiment, the third collision prevention body 3113 employs, for example, a single-layer soft sheet material extending laterally. Of course, in some embodiments, the lateral intermediate region of the third collision prevention body 3113 may have a multilayer structure to partially enhance the impact resistance of the lateral intermediate portion of the third collision prevention body 3113. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the third collision prevention body 3113 may have a multilayer structure overall. For specific embodiments of the multilayer structure, refer to the description of the multilayer structure in the 12th embodiment.

[0125] Referring to Figures 59 and 61, and in conjunction with Figures 41 and 42, in some embodiments, the entire fourth collision prevention body 3114 or the lateral intermediate region of the fourth collision prevention body 3114 has a multilayer structure, thereby improving the impact resistance performance of the fourth collision prevention body 3114 at least partially. For specific embodiments of the multilayer structure, refer to the description of the multilayer structure in the twelfth embodiment.

[0126] In this embodiment, the fourth collision prevention body 3114 may include sheet material 31141, sheet material 31142, and sheet material 31143. Sheet material 31141 is adjacent to the outer woven layer 301, and sheet material 31143 is adjacent to the inner woven layer 302. Sheet material 31141 may be a flexible sheet material, and its material may, but is not limited to, EPP. Sheet material 31141 extends laterally within the fourth containment space 3134, and the outer contour size of sheet material 31141 corresponds, for example, to the size of the corresponding fourth containment space 3134, and serves to support the outer woven layer 301 and the inner woven layer 302, while also having a flat appearance relative to the outer woven layer 301. Sheet material 31142 may also be a flexible sheet material, and its material may, but is not limited to, inert memory foam. The area of ​​sheet material 31142 may be smaller than that of sheet material 31141, and it may be fixed to the sheet material 31141 at an intermediate position in the lateral direction by adhesive, for example. Sheet material 31143 may be a rigid sheet material, and if a pet collides with sheet material 31143, the rigid sheet material 31143 will disperse the impact force and prevent excessive concentration of the impact force.

[0127] In some embodiments, the size of the outer contour of the sheet material 31143 corresponds, for example, to the size of the fourth housing space 3134, and the sheet material 31143 has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. If necessary, the multiple sheet materials of the fourth collision prevention body 3114 may be laminated without being fixed to each other by, for example, an adhesive. Alternatively, at least some of the adjacent sheet materials of the fourth collision prevention body 3114 may be fixed to each other by an adhesive. For example, in some embodiments, when the protective cover 300 is matched to a smaller housing body 100 and canopy assembly 200, the size of the protective cover 300 is also small, and all or at least some of the adjacent sheets of the fourth collision prevention body 3114 may be fixed to each other by an adhesive. The multiple sheet materials of the fourth collision prevention body 3114 fixed by adhesive are less likely to peel off even when the smaller protective cover 300 is pressed or bent. When the protective cover 300 is matched to a larger housing body 100 and canopy assembly 200, the protective cover 300 is also larger in size, and a portion of the sheet of the fourth collision prevention body 3114 (not limited to rigid sheet material, for example) and at least one adjacent sheet material may be laminated together without being fixed to each other by adhesive or the like, thereby preventing the rigid sheet material from deforming and curling up and peeling away from the adjacent sheet material when the protective cover 300 is pressed or bent. The fourth collision prevention body 3114 may be provided with multiple sheet material connection configurations as needed, so that the fourth collision prevention body 3114 can better adhere to and support the outer and inner woven layers of the protective cover 300 and avoid wrinkles.

[0128] In some embodiments, notches 31140 are provided at both ends of the sheet material 31143, each extending toward the middle of the sheet material 31143. These notches 31140 provide deformation margin for the sheet material 31143, avoiding wrinkles that would cause the protective cover 300 to become uneven. In some embodiments, the corners of the sheet material 31143 are formed in an arc shape to avoid puncturing the inner woven fabric layer 302. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the periphery of the sheet material 31143 does not protrude, for example, relative to the sheet material 31141, thereby preventing the edges of the rigid sheet material 31143 from abrading and penetrating the inner woven fabric layer 302 when pressed.

[0129] Referring to Figures 61 and 63, in some embodiments, a laterally extending slit 311420 can be provided in the middle of the sheet material 31142, and the slit 311420 can be deformed in accordance with the change in shape of the sheet material 31143, which is advantageous for better adhesion between the soft sheet material 31142 and the hard sheet material 31143, and the better adhesion between the sheet material 31142 and the sheet material 31141 allows the fourth collision prevention body 3114 to adhere better to the arch shape of the protective cover 300 and the canopy 22.

[0130] Referring to Figures 59, 61, and 63, in some embodiments, if the same collision prevention body 311 includes multiple sheet materials and some of the multiple sheet materials are not fixed to each other, at least one spacer layer 315 may be installed in the housing space 313 that houses the multiple sheet materials, and this spacer layer 315 is an intermediate fabric layer placed between the inner fabric layer 302 and the outer fabric layer 301, and may be an inner fabric. The spacer layer 315 can divide the housing space 313 into at least two layered spaces, and the sheet materials that are not fixed to each other are attached to the corresponding layered spaces. Each spacer layer 315 assists in positioning the sheets that are not fixed to each other. Specifically, in this embodiment, one spacer layer 315 may be provided in the fourth housing space 3114, and the spacer layer 315 divides the fourth housing space 3134 into layered space 31341 and layered space 31342. The stacked space 31341 houses sheet materials 31141 and 31142 fixed to each other, and the layered space 31342 houses sheet material 31143. Of course, in some embodiments, the spacer layer 315 does not need to be installed in the housing space 313, and the collision prevention body 311 corresponding to the housing space 313 without the spacer layer 315 may include multiple sheet materials, which may not be bonded to each other, or may be bonded sequentially, or may be partially bonded and partially not bonded, and the collision prevention body 311 may be directly housed in the housing space 313 without the spacer layer 315.

[0131] Referring to Figures 59 and 62, and in conjunction with Figures 41 and 43, when the protective cover 300 is in use, the skirt 35 is wrapped around the outside of the top opening 10 of the housing body 100. The fifth collision prevention body 3115 corresponds to the skirt 35. In some embodiments, the fifth collision prevention body 3115 may employ a single-layer structure, such as a single-layer soft sheet material or a single-layer hard sheet material. For specific embodiments of the single-layer soft sheet material or single-layer hard sheet material, refer to the above description of the first collision prevention body 3111 in the twelfth embodiment. In some embodiments, the fifth collision prevention body 3115 may have a multilayer structure overall, or a multilayer structure in the lateral intermediate region. For specific embodiments of the multilayer structure, refer to the description of the multilayer structure in the twelfth embodiment of this embodiment. By making the lateral intermediate region of the fifth collision prevention body 3115 a multilayer structure, the fifth collision prevention body 3115 may also provide a side collision protection function.

[0132] Referring to Figure 62, specifically in this embodiment, the fifth collision prevention body 3115 may include a sheet material 31151 extending laterally, a sheet material 31152 laminated in the laterally intermediate region of the sheet material 31151, and a sheet material 31153 laminated on the sheet material 31152. The sheet material 31151 is, for example, adjacent to the outer woven fabric layer 301, and the size of the outer contour of the sheet material 31151 corresponds to the size of the fifth containment space 3135, and serves to support the outer woven fabric layer 301 and the inner woven fabric layer 302. The sheet material 31153 is, for example, adjacent to the inner woven fabric layer 302.

[0133] Each sheet material (sheet material 31151, sheet material 31152, and sheet material 31153) of the fifth collision prevention body 3115 may be fixed to each other by adhesive, or each sheet material may be bound to each other by strip 31154. Sheet materials 31151 and 31153 may be soft sheet materials of the same material, which may be, for example, EPP, but is not limited thereto. Sheet material 31152 may also be a soft sheet material, and the material of sheet material 31152 may be, for example, inert memory foam, but is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the materials of sheet material 31151, sheet material 31152, and sheet material 31153 may be the same or completely different.

[0134] Figures 64 and 65 show a modified embodiment of the fourth collision prevention body 3114 shown in Figure 61. Referring to Figures 64 and 65, a rigid sheet material 31143 may have additional sheet materials 31145 and 31146 installed on it, both of which are, for example, flexible sheet materials. Sheet material 31145 is fixed to sheet material 31143 by, for example, an adhesive, and sheet material 31146 is fixed to sheet material 31145 by, for example, an adhesive. The material of sheet material 31145 is, for example, the same as the material of sheet material 31142 (including, but not limited to, foam), and the material of sheet material 31146 is, for example, the same as the material of sheet material 31141 (including, but not limited to, EPP board). The notch 31140 divides the sheet material 31143 into two upper and lower parts, the upper part 311431 and the lower part 311432, with the upper part 311431 and the lower part 311432 connected at their lateral intermediate positions, and the lower part 311432 being closer to the skirt 35 than the upper part 311431. Referring to Figures 64 to 66, the sheet materials 31145 and 31146 may have an intermediate protrusion 31147 located, for example, at the lateral intermediate position of the lower part 311432 and extending toward the upper part 311431. The intermediate protrusion 31147 does not obstruct the notch 31140 so as not to prevent the sheet material 31143 from deforming to conform to the shape of the protective cover.

[0135] Figures 66 and 67 show a modified embodiment of the fourth collision prevention body 3114 shown in Figure 64. As can be seen from Figures 66 and 67, in addition to the sheet materials 31145 and 31146 installed on the lower part 311432, sheet materials 31148 and 31149 are installed at the lateral intermediate position of the upper part 311431, and sheet materials 31148 and 31149 are both, for example, soft sheet materials. Sheet material 31148 is fixed to the upper part 311431 by, for example, adhesive, and sheet material 31149 is fixed to sheet material 31148 by, for example, adhesive. The material of sheet material 31148 is, for example, the same as the material of sheet material 31145. The material of sheet material 31149 is, for example, the same as the material of sheet material 31146.

[0136] Fourteenth embodiment of the first aspect: Figure 68 shows a partial cross-sectional view of a carrier 1000 installed according to a 14th embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure. The carrier 1000 is fitted with a protective cover 300, which includes a third collision prevention body 3113 shown in Figure 60, a fourth collision prevention body 3114 shown in Figure 64, and a fifth collision prevention body 3115 shown in Figure 62. To the extent that it does not contradict the above description of the carrier 1000 provided in this embodiment, refer to the above description of the carrier 1000 shown in Figure 41, which will not be repeated herein.

[0137] Note that any carrier 1000 provided in any embodiment of the present disclosure (including, but not limited to, the fifth to tenth embodiments) may be fitted with a protective cover 300 provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the structure of the protective cover 300 and its cooperation with the housing body 100 and canopy assembly 200 can be found in the above description and will not be repeated herein. Note that the protective cover 300 only needs to be connectable to the housing body 100 and / or canopy assembly to cover at least a portion of the canopy assembly (preferably the front and / or rear of the canopy assembly) when the canopy assembly is deployed, and the protective cover 300 is not limited to the specific embodiments illustrated above.

[0138] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a mobile device, a carrier, and a protective device, the specific embodiments thereof, which are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0139] First, in a second aspect of this disclosure, the mobile device includes a carrier and a protective device, the carrier being used to confine and carry an animal, such as a pet, inside. Viewed from above, the carrier is substantially rectangular and has a longitudinal axis / direction (indicated by arrow A in the figure) and a transverse axis / direction (indicated by arrow B in the figure). In this disclosure, the carrier can be positioned and mounted, exemplary, in the rear seat of a vehicle such that the longitudinal axis of the carrier is parallel to the vehicle seat, i.e., the transverse axis of the carrier is parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle (direction B6). The protective device provides the mobile device with improved impact resistance to prevent the animal confined inside from suffering impact and injury from a side collision, such a side collision may be caused by a collision with an external object in an accident or by a sudden change in the vehicle's speed or direction while traveling. The “side collision protection block” and / or “cushion block” and / or “collision prevention body” and / or “protective cover” in each embodiment of the first aspect can also be considered examples of protective devices.

[0140] First embodiment of the second aspect: Referring to Figure 69, which is a schematic perspective view of a mobile device 61 according to a first embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure. The mobile device 61 includes a carrier 6100 and a protective device 6101, the carrier 6100 being used to house an animal, and the protective device 6101 being attached to the carrier 6100 on its side. According to the present disclosure, the carrier 6100 can be mounted on a base (not shown) installed on a vehicle. According to the present disclosure, the protective device 6101 may be configured as a buffer structure capable of absorbing energy or impact resulting from a side collision or a sudden change in the direction or speed of the vehicle. This ensures that the animal is stably supported within the carrier 6100 so as not to rock or move within the carrier 6100, and the carrier 6100 may have improved impact resistance to protect the animal from injury.

[0141] As described above, in this disclosure, the carrier 6100 can be mounted on a base (not shown) installed on a vehicle. To avoid obscuring this disclosure, how the carrier is mounted on the base is not specifically shown.

[0142] In this embodiment, the carrier 6100 includes a box section 6102 (also called the “box body” and optionally including a “seat cloth” that covers the outside of the box body), a canopy section 6104 (for example, functioning as, or including, the “canopy assembly” described in the first embodiment above, i.e., including a “canopy frame” and a “canopy”), and a carrying handle 6106. The box section limits the accommodation space for an animal. The canopy section 6104 is detachably attached to the box section 6102 of the carrier 6100. Both ends of the carrying handle 6106 are pivotably and detachably attached to the opposing sides of the box section 6102. The carrier 6100 further includes a bracket assembly 6108 (also called the “bracket device”) connected to the outer bottom surface of the box section 6102, and the carrier 6100 is detachably attached by the bracket assembly to a base (not shown) installed on a vehicle. Furthermore, similar to the first embodiment, the "box portion" and "bracket assembly" in the embodiment of the second embodiment can also be considered as components of the "storage body," meaning that the storage body may include the box portion and the bracket assembly, which will not be discussed further.

[0143] The box portion 6102 can have a rectangular shape when viewed from above, defined by a pair of opposing long sides extending in the vertical direction A6 and a pair of opposing short sides extending in the horizontal direction B6. In this embodiment, the protective device 6101 can be attached to the carrier 6100 on a side corresponding to one of the short sides of the carrier 6100. In alternative embodiments, the protective device 6101 may be attached to the carrier 6100 alternatively or additionally on a side corresponding to one of the long sides, which will be further described with reference to the embodiments shown in Figures 85A to 85C and 86A to 86C.

[0144] In this embodiment, the canopy portion 6104 is dome-shaped. The canopy portion 6104 has a lower edge 6104A (which may be configured as a "canopy frame" or a "canopy frame" may be installed, see, for example, the corresponding portion in the first embodiment), and the lower edge 6104A corresponds to the upper edge 6102A of the box portion 6102. The canopy portion 6104 can be detachably attached to the upper edge 6102A of the box portion 6102 at its lower edge 6104A. In this embodiment, the canopy portion 6104 may be attached to the box portion 6102 by, for example, a buckle assembly 6110 (which may also be considered an example of a "canopy lock portion"). As shown in the figures, the canopy section 6104 is foldable, folding from its opposing short sides towards the center (or from the center towards the opposing short sides). In the folded state, the box section 6102 is not covered by the canopy section 6104, or in the unfolded state, the box section 6102 is closed by the canopy section 6104. When the canopy section 6104 is in the folded state, the inside of the box section 6102 is open, allowing animals to enter and exit. The structure of the carrier canopy according to this disclosure will be further described with reference to Figures 87 to 93.

[0145] In this embodiment, the protective device 6101 is formed as a plate-shaped member. As described above, the protective device 6101 is attached to the carrier 6100 on a side corresponding to one of the short sides of the carrier 6100. Preferably, the protective device 6101 is attached to the carrier 6100 such that the protective device 6101 can be positioned between the carrier 6100 and the rear door (not shown) of the vehicle. This prevents the carrier 6100 from colliding with the rear door, or prevents animals confined inside the carrier 6100 from being struck or injured by a side collision or a sudden change in the speed or direction of the vehicle while it is in motion.

[0146] A second embodiment of the second aspect: Referring to Figure 70, which schematically shows a side view of a mobile device 62 according to a second embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure. The mobile device 62 includes a carrier 6200 and a protective device 6201 attached to the carrier 6200 on its side. The configuration and structure of the carrier 6200 are similar to those of the carrier 6100 shown in Figure 69, and include a box section 6202, a canopy section 6204 detachably attached to the box section 6202 by a buckle assembly 6210, a carrying handle 6206 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 6202, and a bracket assembly 6208 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 6202. In this embodiment, the carrier 6200 is provided with a first mounting section 6212 on one outer surface of the box section 6202. The protective device 6201 consists of a plate-shaped body 6203 (which may also be called the "protective body") made mainly from an energy-absorbing material or a shock-absorbing material. The protective device 6201 is provided with a second mounting portion 6205 on the plate-shaped body 6203 that corresponds to a first mounting portion 6212 of the carrier 6200. In this embodiment, the protective device 6201 is attached to the carrier 6200 by the cooperation of the first mounting portion 6212 and the second mounting portion 6205. In this embodiment, the protective device 6201 can be attached to the carrier 6200 by being pushed along the longitudinal direction A6. In the second aspect of this disclosure, the "first mounting portion" and the "second mounting portion" may be referred to as a "coupling device" or may be used as an example or part of a "coupling device". In this aspect, the "plate-shaped body" refers to a body having a certain thickness, but is not limited to a "plate" shape; for example, it may have a spherical shape or an uneven shape with varying thicknesses.

[0147] Referring to Figures 70A and 70B, Figures 70A and 70B are schematic perspective views showing the respective mounting portions of the protective device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0148] As shown in Figure 70A, the second mounting portion configured on the plate-shaped body 6203A may be a hook and loop tape, a so-called hook and loop fastening member, a so-called touch fastening member, or a so-called Velcro®. More specifically, the second mounting portion may be the hook surface portion 6205A of the hook and loop tape, and the first mounting portion of the carrier (not shown) may correspondingly be the loop surface portion (and vice versa). In this way, the protective device 6201A can be attached to the carrier by the loop surface portion (first mounting portion) and the hook surface portion 6205A (second mounting portion).

[0149] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 70B, the second mounting portion configured on the plate-shaped body 6203B may be a magnetic member 6205B (i.e., a first magnetic member), and the first mounting portion of the carrier (not shown) may be a corresponding magnetic member (i.e., a second magnetic member), thereby the protective device 6201B is attached to the carrier by the magnetic attraction force between the first and second magnetic members. In the embodiment of Figure 70B, the protective device 6201B is shown to include two magnetic members 6205B as second mounting portions, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In alternative embodiments, the number of second mounting portions of the protective device can be varied, and the number of first mounting portions of the carrier can be varied accordingly. Furthermore, the number of first mounting parts may differ from the number of second mounting parts. For example, one first mounting part may be installed in correspondence with two or more second mounting parts, or two or more mounting parts may be installed in correspondence with one second mounting part. In other words, the first and second mounting parts should be able to cooperate with each other so that the protective device 6201B can be attached to the carrier.

[0150] Third embodiment of the second aspect: Referring to Figure 71, which schematically shows a side view of a mobile device 63 according to a third embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure. The mobile device 63 includes a carrier 6300 and a protective device 6301 mounted on the carrier 6300 and providing improved impact resistance for the carrier 6300. The configuration and structure of the carrier 6300 are similar to those of the carrier 6100 shown in Figure 69 and the carrier 6200 shown in Figure 70, and include a box section 6302 with a buckle assembly 6310, a canopy section 6304 detachably attached to the box section 6302, a carrying handle 6306 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 6302, and a bracket assembly 6308 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 6302.

[0151] The carrier 6300 differs from the carrier 6200 in this embodiment in that the first mounting portion of the carrier 6300 is formed as a recess 6312. Correspondingly, the second mounting portion of the protective device 6301 is formed as a bump or block 6305 that matches the recess 6312 of the carrier 6300. In this embodiment, the protective device 6301 is attached to the carrier 6300 by interference fit of the bump or block 6305 into the recess 6312. In this embodiment, the protective device 6301 can be attached to the carrier 6300 by being pressed along the longitudinal direction A6.

[0152] A fourth embodiment of the second aspect: Referring to Figure 72, which schematically shows a side view of a mobile device 64 according to a fourth embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure. The mobile device 64 includes a carrier 6400 and a protective device 6401 attached to the carrier 6400 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 6400. The configuration and structure of the carrier 6400 are similar to those of the carrier 6300 shown in Figure 71, and include a box section 6402 with a buckle assembly 6410, a canopy section 6404 detachably attached to the box section 6402, a carrying handle 6406 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 6402, and a bracket assembly 6408 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 6402.

[0153] The carrier 6400 differs from the carrier 6300 in this embodiment from the carrier 6300 in that the carrier 6400 has a first mounting portion that has a specific shape or contour different from the first mounting portion of the carrier 6300. This corresponds to a specific contour of the second mounting portion of the protective device 6401. Specifically, the second mounting portion 6405 formed on the plate-shaped body 6403 of the protective device 6401 is formed to have a rolled-up end. The first mounting portion 6412 of the carrier 6400 is formed as a recess having a contour corresponding to the rolled-up end of the second mounting portion 6405. In this embodiment, the protective device 6401 can be attached to the carrier in the lateral direction of the carrier, i.e., in a direction parallel to the direction from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The second mounting portion 6405 can be joined relatively firmly to the first mounting portion 6412 of the carrier 6400 by its rolled-up end, thereby further securing the attachment of the protective device 6401 to the carrier 6400. In this embodiment, the protective device 6401 is attached to the carrier 6400 by being pushed along the lateral direction B6 in the direction from the front seat to the rear seat of the vehicle.

[0154] Fifth embodiment of the second aspect: Referring to Figures 73A to 73C, Figures 73A to 73C are schematic side views showing a mobile device 65 according to a fifth embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure. The mobile device 65 includes a carrier 6500 and a protective device 6501 attached to the carrier 6500 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 6500. The carrier 6500 has a structure and configuration similar to the carriers 6100, 6200, 6300, and 6400 described above and includes a box section 6502 with a buckle assembly 6510, a canopy section 6504 detachably attached to the box section 6502, a carrying handle 6506 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 6502, and a bracket assembly 6508 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 6502.

[0155] Referring to Figure 73A, the protective device 6501 of the moving device 65 comprises a plate-shaped body 6503 made of an energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing material. The plate-shaped body 6503 is connected to a guide member 6507 via a pivot shaft 6505 on its underside, thereby allowing the plate-shaped body 6503 to pivot relative to the guide member 6507. One end of the guide member 6507 is connected to the plate-shaped body 6503 by the pivot shaft 6505, and the distal end (i.e., the other end) of the guide member 6507 is fixed to the outer bottom of the box portion 6502 of the carrier 6500 by a connecting portion 6509. In this embodiment, the guide member 6507 is positioned in a limited space between the outer bottom of the box portion 6502 and the bracket assembly 6508. Note that the "guide member 6507" and "pivot shaft 6505" in this embodiment may be used as an example or part of a "coupling device".

[0156] As shown in Figure 73A, when the protective device 6501 is attached to the carrier 6500 to provide impact resistance, the plate-shaped body 6503 and the protective device 6501 are pivoted until upright and pushed along the longitudinal direction A6 to be attached to the carrier 6500. The attached protective device 6501 is positioned between the carrier 6500 and the rear door of the vehicle and prevents the carrier 6500 from unexpectedly colliding with the rear door (not shown) of the vehicle due to a side collision or a sudden change in the vehicle's speed or direction while driving. When the protective device 6501 is removed from the carrier 6500 (i.e., separated), the plate-shaped body 6503 is first pivoted to a horizontal position by the pivot axis 6505. That is, as shown in Figure 73B, the plate-shaped body 6503 becomes parallel to the outer bottom surface of the carrier 6500. Subsequently, the plate-shaped body 6503 is pushed and guided toward the carrier 6500 along the guide member 6507 until it is fully positioned below the bottom of the carrier 6500. In this way, as shown in Figure 73C, the plate-shaped body 6503 is housed and contained in the space between the outer bottom of the box portion 6502 and the bracket assembly 6508.

[0157] A sixth embodiment of the second aspect: Figures 74A and 74B are schematic side views illustrating a mobile device 66 including a carrier 6600 and a protective device 6601 according to a sixth embodiment in a second aspect of the present disclosure. Specifically, Figure 74A shows the protective device 6601 attached to the carrier 6600 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 6600, and Figure 74B shows the protective device 6601 separated from the carrier 6600. The carrier 6600 has a structure and configuration similar to the carriers 6100, 6200, 6300, 6400 and 6500 described above, and includes a box section 6602 with a buckle assembly 6610, a canopy section 6604 detachably attached to the box section 6602, a carrying handle 6606 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 6602, and a bracket assembly 6608 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 6602.

[0158] In this embodiment, the protective device 6601 attached to the carrier 6600 includes a plate-shaped body 6603 and a coupling member 6605 positioned at the bottom of the plate-shaped body 6603. The coupling member 6605 has one end connected to the bottom of the plate-shaped body 6603, and a coupling portion 6607, such as a clamp structure, is installed at the far end (i.e., the other end). The coupling portion 6607 has a contour corresponding to the rod structure of the bracket assembly 6608, and the protective device 6601 can be attached to the carrier 6600 by coupling or clamping the coupling portion 6607 to the bracket assembly 6608. Preferably, the length La of the coupling member 6605 is set so that when the protective device 6601 is attached to the carrier 6600, the plate-shaped body 6603 abuts against the side surface of the carrier 6600, thereby enabling relatively safe and stable support and protection of animals inside the carrier 6600. In this embodiment, the protective device 6601 is pushed along the longitudinal direction A6 and attached to the carrier 6600. In this embodiment, the "coupling member 6605" and / or "coupling portion 6607" may be used as an example or part of a "coupling device".

[0159] Seventh embodiment in the second aspect: Referring to Figure 75, which is a schematic side view of a mobile device 67 according to a seventh embodiment in a second aspect of the present disclosure. The mobile device 67 includes a carrier 6700 and a protective device 6701 mounted on the carrier 6700 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 6700. The carrier 6700 has a structure and configuration similar to the carrier described above and includes a box section 6702 with a buckle assembly 6710, a canopy section 6704 detachably attached to the box section 6702, a carrying handle 6706 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 6702, and a bracket assembly 6708 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 6702. In the illustrated embodiment, the carrier 6700 is mounted on a base 6750 installed in a vehicle (not shown). The structure and configuration of base 6750, and the details of carrier 6700 attached to base 6750, are not the subject of this disclosure and are therefore omitted here to avoid obscuring this disclosure.

[0160] In this embodiment, the protective device 6701 is mounted on the base 6750 rather than the carrier 6700. The protective device 6701 includes a plate-shaped body 6703 made of an energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing material, and a connecting rod 6705 (an example of a "coupling device") connected to the bottom of the plate-shaped body 6703. The far end of the connecting rod 6705 is connected to the base 6750. The length Lb of the connecting rod 6705 is set such that when the protective device 6701 is mounted on the base 6750, the plate-shaped body 6701 abuts against the side of the carrier 6700, thereby enabling the support and protection of animals inside the carrier 6700 in a relatively safe and stable manner.

[0161] Eighth embodiment in the second aspect: Referring to Figure 76, which schematically shows a side view of a mobile device 68 according to an eighth embodiment in a second aspect of the present disclosure. The mobile device 68 includes a carrier 6800 and a protective device 6801 mounted on the carrier 6800 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 6800. The carrier 6800 has a structure and configuration similar to the carrier described above and includes a box section 6802 with a buckle assembly 6810, a canopy section 6804 detachably attached to the box section 6802, a carrying handle 6806 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 6802, and a bracket assembly 6808 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 6802.

[0162] The carrier 6800 differs from the carrier described above in this embodiment in that the carrier 6800 includes a connector 6820, which is located on opposite sides of the upper periphery 6802A of the box section 6802, particularly on the opposite short side. This allows the deployed canopy section 6804 to be connected to the box section 6802 by the connector 6820 of the carrier 6800. More specifically, the connector 6820 is located on the housing body and / or the canopy assembly and may be a magnetic connector (an example of a "canopy locking device") including a pair of magnets that can attract each other, one of which is located on the short side of the upper periphery 6802A of the box section 6802, and the other magnet is located on the short side of the lower periphery 6804A of the canopy section 6804. In this way, the canopy section 6804 can be attached to the box section 6802 by such magnetic attraction. To prevent the protective device 6801 from interfering with or obstructing the connection between the canopy section 6804 and the box section 6802, the plate-shaped body 6803 can have an opening or recess (or groove) corresponding to the connector 6820.

[0163] Referring to Figures 76A to 76C, various designs of the plate-shaped body of the protective device are shown. As shown in Figure 76A, the plate-shaped body 6803A of the moving device 68A is formed to have a vertical through opening or vertical recess (e.g., a slide groove or notch) 68031, thereby mounting the plate-shaped body 6803A to the carrier 6800A in a top-to-bottom direction, thereby mounting the protective device including the plate-shaped body 6803A to the carrier 6800A. When the protective device including the plate-shaped body 6803A is mounted to the carrier 6800A, the connector 6820A may be located within the top of the vertical recess 68031, or at the end of the vertical recess 68031 closer to the center of the protective device. A magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68031A corresponding to the magnetic connector 6820A of the carrier 6800A can be placed on the periphery of the top of the vertical recess 68031. In this way, the protective device can be attached to the carrier 6800A by the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68031A of the plate-shaped body 6803A and the magnetic connector 6820A of the carrier 6800A. In this embodiment, the "connector 6820" and the "vertical recess 68031" can be used as an example or part of a "coupling device," and the "magnetic connector 6820A" and the "magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68031A" can also be used as an example or part of a "coupling device."

[0164] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 76B, the plate-shaped body 6803B of the moving device 68B is formed to have a horizontal through opening or a horizontal recess (e.g., a slide groove or notch) 68033, thereby mounting the plate-shaped body 6803B to the carrier 6800B from right to left, thereby attaching the protective device including the plate-shaped body 6803B to the carrier 6800B. Once the protective device including the plate-shaped body 6803B is attached to the carrier 6800B, the connector 6820B may be located within the right end of the horizontal recess 68033. A magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68033A corresponding to the magnetic connector 6820B of the carrier 6800B can be positioned around the periphery of the right end of the horizontal recess 68033. In this way, the protective device can be attached to the carrier 6800B by the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68033A of the plate-shaped body 6803B and the magnetic connector 6820B of the carrier 6800B.

[0165] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 76C, the plate-shaped body 6803C of the moving device 68C has a central through-hole 68035 with a closed periphery, and the magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68035A is positioned around the periphery of the opening 68035. When the protective device, including the plate-shaped body 6803C, is mounted on the carrier 6800C, the connector 6820C may be positioned within the central through-hole 68035. In this way, the plate-shaped body 6803C may be mounted inside the vehicle from the vehicle door in the longitudinal direction A6, and the protective device may be mounted on the carrier 6800C by magnetic attraction between the magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68035A of the plate-shaped body 6803C and the magnetic connector 6820C of the carrier 6800C.

[0166] A ninth embodiment of the second aspect: Refer to Figures 77A and 77B. Figure 77A schematically shows a mobile device 69 according to a ninth embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure, and Figure 77B is a schematic side view showing a protective device attached to the carrier of the mobile device of Figure 77A. The mobile device 69 includes a carrier 6900 and a protective device 6901 attached to the carrier 6900 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 6900. The carrier 6900 has a structure and configuration similar to the carrier described above and includes a box section 6902 with a buckle assembly 6910, a canopy section 6904 detachably attached to the box section 6902 with the buckle assembly 6910, a carrying handle 6906 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 6902, and a bracket assembly 6908 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 6902. The canopy section 6904 may be attached to the box section 6902 by the magnetic attraction of the connector 6920 located on the short side of the box section 6902 when deployed. In addition, to prevent the protective device 6901 from interfering with or obstructing the connection between the canopy section 6904 and the box section 6902, the plate-shaped body 6903 may have an opening or recess corresponding to the connector 6920.

[0167] In this embodiment, the flat body 6903 has a recess 69031 corresponding to the connector 6920 instead of the aforementioned through holes 68031, 68033, and 68035. The depth d of the recess 69031 is set so that the connector 6920 is positioned within it without obstruction when the protective device 6901 is attached to the carrier 6900. A magnetic connector 69031A corresponding to the magnetic connector 6920 of the carrier 6900 can be placed at the top of the recess 69031. In this way, the protective device 6901 can be attached to the carrier 6900 by the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic connector 69031A of the flat body 6903 and the magnetic connector 6920 of the carrier 6900. Note that the "connector 6920" and "opening or recess" in this embodiment may be used as an example or part of a "coupling device", and the "magnetic connector 6920" and "magnetic connector 69031A" may also be used as an example or part of a "coupling device".

[0168] A tenth embodiment of the second aspect: Referring to Figures 78A and 78B, a mobile device 610 according to a tenth embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown, where Figure 78A is a perspective view of the mobile device 610 and Figure 78B is a side view of the mobile device 610. The mobile device 610 includes a carrier 61000 and a protective device 61001 attached to the carrier 61000 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 61000. The carrier 61000 has a structure and configuration similar to the carrier described above and includes a box section 61002 with a buckle assembly 61010, a canopy section 61004 detachably attached to the box section 61002, a carrying handle 61006 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 61002, and a bracket assembly 61008 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 61002.

[0169] Alternatively or additionally, in this embodiment, the protective device 61001 can be attached to the carrier 61000 by a fixing strap 61009, which is connected to the top of the plate-shaped body 61003 and extends outward from there. Optionally, the plate-shaped body 61003 may be covered with cloth to facilitate connection with the fixing strap 61009. More specifically, as shown in Figure 78B, one end of the fixing strap 61009 is connected to the top of the plate-shaped body 61003 of the protective device 61001, and the fixing strap 61009 extends along the longitudinal direction A6 of the carrier 61000 and connects to the carrying handle 61006. Specifically, the carrying handle 61006 is provided with a connecting portion 61006A, which is, for example, a ring and is located in the middle of the carrying handle 61006. The fixing strap 61009 has a connecting member 61011 (e.g., a hook) at its far end, and is connected to the connecting portion 61006A of the carrying handle 61006 by the connecting member 61011. Optionally, the fixing strap 61009 may be fitted with a secure member 61013, such as an adjustment buckle or ladder lock, to fix the length of the fixing strap 61009 after adjustment. As an example, the secure member 61013 may include, or be configured as, a length adjuster for adjusting the length of the fixing strap 61009.

[0170] In this embodiment, the carrier 61000 can be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner by the connection between the plate-shaped body 61003 and the carrying handle 61006, in addition to the coupling member 61005 being selectively connected to the bracket assembly 61008 via the coupling portion 61007. Furthermore, it should be noted that the “fixing strap 61009,” “connecting portion 61006A,” and / or “connecting member 61011” in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a “coupling device.”

[0171] Eleventh embodiment of the second aspect: Figures 79A and 79B schematically show a mobile device 611 according to an eleventh embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure, where Figure 79A is a perspective view of the mobile device 611 and Figure 79B is a side view of the mobile device 611. The mobile device 611 includes a carrier 61100 and a protective device 61101 attached to the carrier 61100 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 61100. The carrier 61100 has a structure and configuration similar to the carrier described above and includes a box section 61102 with a buckle assembly 61110, a canopy section 61104 detachably attached to the box section 61102, a carrying handle 61106 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 61102, and a bracket assembly 61108 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 61102.

[0172] Alternatively or additionally, in this embodiment, the protective device 61101 may be attached to the carrier 61100 by a fixing strap 61109, which is connected to the top of the plate-shaped body 61103 and extends outward from there. More specifically, as shown in Figure 79B, one end of the fixing strap 61109 is connected to the top of the plate-shaped body 61103 of the protective device 61101, and the fixing strap extends toward and beyond the carrying handle 61106 in the longitudinal direction A6 of the carrier 61100. Specifically, the carrying handle 61106 has a recess 61106A formed in its middle portion to accommodate and hold the fixing strap 61109 passing over it. The fixing strap 61109 has a connecting member 61111 (e.g., a hook) at its far end that passes over the carrying handle 61106, and this connecting member 61111 connects to the bracket assembly 61108 on the outer bottom surface of the carrier 61102. Specifically, the protective device 61101 is installed on one side of the carrier 61100 in the longitudinal direction A6, and the connecting member 61111 is connected to the other side of the carrier 61100 in the longitudinal direction, for example, to the outer bottom surface on that other side of the carrier 61100, and for example to connect to the bracket assembly 61108. Optionally, the fixing strap 61109 is fitted with a fixing member 61113, which fixes the length of the fixing strap 61109 after adjustment. For example, the fixing member 61113 may include a length adjuster or be configured as a length adjuster such as an adjustment buckle, and is used to adjust the length of the fixing strap 61109.

[0173] In this embodiment, the carrier 61100 can be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner by the fixing strap 61109, in addition to the selective connection between the first mounting portion 61112 and the second mounting portion 61105. The connection structures such as the "fixing strap 61109," "connecting member 61111," and / or "recess 61106A" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a "coupling device."

[0174] Twelfth embodiment of the second aspect: Referring to Figures 80A to 80C, a mobile device 612 according to a twelfth embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 80A is a perspective view of the mobile device 612, Figure 80B is a side view of the mobile device 612, and Figure 80C is a perspective view showing details of the fixing straps of the mobile device 612.

[0175] The mobile device 612 includes a carrier 61200 and a protective device 61201 that is attached to the carrier 61200 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 61200. The carrier 61200 has a structure and configuration similar to the carrier described above and comprises a box section 61202 with a buckle assembly 61210, a canopy section 61204 detachably attached to the box section 61202, a carrying handle 61206 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 61202, and a bracket assembly 61208 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 61202. Similar to the mobile devices 610 and 611, in this embodiment the protective device 61201 may be attached to the carrier 61200 by a fixing strap 61209 extending outward from the top of a plate-shaped body 61203, either as an alternative or additional attachment. The difference in this embodiment is that the fixing strap 61209 extends along the longitudinal direction A6 of the carrier 61200 toward the carrying handle 61206, and after passing the carrying handle 61206, reverses toward the plate-shaped body 61203. The fixing strap 61209 forms a loop 61215 by the attachment portion 61217, and forms a loop on the carrying handle 61206 for connection. In this embodiment, the attachment portion 61217 may be installed by a hook-loop tape (so-called hook-loop fastening member, so-called touch fastening member, so-called Velcro®) including a hook surface portion 61217A and a loop surface portion 61217B (or vice versa), as shown in Figure 80C.

[0176] In this embodiment, the carrier 61200 can be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner by a connection between the plate-shaped body 61203 and the carrying handle 61206, in addition to the selective connection between the first mounting portion 61212 and the second mounting portion 61205. It should be noted that the connection structures such as the "fixing strap 61209" and / or "mounting portion 61217" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a "coupling device".

[0177] A thirteenth embodiment of the second aspect: Referring to Figures 81A and 81B, a mobile device 613 according to a thirteenth embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 81A is a perspective view of the mobile device 613, and Figure 81B is a side view of the mobile device 613. The mobile device 613 includes a carrier 61300 and a protective device 61301 attached to the carrier 61300 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 61300. The carrier 61300 has a structure and configuration similar to the carrier described above and comprises a box section 61302 with a buckle assembly 61310, a canopy section 61304 detachably attached to the box section 61302, a carrying handle detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 61302, and a bracket assembly 61308 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 61302. For clarity, the carrying handle of the carrier is omitted in Figures 81A and 81B.

[0178] Similar to the mobile device 610, in this embodiment the protective device 61301 is attached to the carrier 61300 by a fixing strap 61309 extending outward from the top of the protective device 61301, either as an alternative or additional attachment. As shown in Figure 81B, the carrier 61300 includes an additional handle 61314 attached to the top of the canopy section 61304, with one end of the fixing strap 61309 fixed to the top of the protective device 61301 and the other end extending toward the handle 61314, connected to the handle 61314 via a connecting member 61311 (e.g., a hook), and not connected to a carrying handle attached to the opposite side of the box section 61302. Furthermore, a fixing member 61313 is optionally installed on the strap 61309 to fix the fixing strap 61309 after adjusting its length. For example, the fixing member 61313 may include a length adjustment device or be configured as a length adjustment device such as an adjustment buckle, and is used to adjust the length of the fixing strap 61309.

[0179] Alternatively or additionally, the body 61303 of the protective device 61301 is inverted L-shaped. That is, the body 61303, made from an energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing material, consists of a first part 61303A and a second part 61303B that are integrally molded at a right angle to each other. As shown in Figure 81B, the second part 61303B of the body 61303 extends from the top of the first part 61303A in the longitudinal A6 and / or horizontal direction (i.e., along the short side of the carrier 61300) of the carrier 61300, and its height is slightly higher than the top of the canopy part 61304, with one end of the fixing strap 61309 attached to the end face of the second part 61303B of the body 61303. Specifically, the first portion 61303A extends in the height direction of the carrier 61300 and is installed on the side of the carrier 61300, and the second portion 61303B extends longitudinally A6 from the first portion 61303A at the top of the carrier 61300. In this way, the other end of the fixing strap 61309 attached to the handle 61304 can provide relatively sufficient and stable support to the carrier 61300.

[0180] In this embodiment, the carrier 61300 can be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner by a connection between the main body 61303 of the protective device 61301 and the handle 61314 at the top of the canopy portion 61304, in addition to the selective connection between the first mounting portion 61312 and the second mounting portion 61305. It should be noted that the connection structures such as the "fixing strap 61309," "connecting member 61311," and / or "fixing member 61313" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a "coupling device."

[0181] Fourteenth embodiment of the second aspect: Figures 82A and 82B schematically show a mobile device 614 according to a fourteenth embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure, where Figure 82A is a perspective view of the mobile device 614 and Figure 82B is a side view of the mobile device 614.

[0182] The mobile device 614 includes a carrier 61400 and a protective device 61401 attached to the carrier 61400 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 61400. The carrier 61400 has a structure and configuration similar to the carrier described above and includes a box section 61402 with a buckle assembly 61410, a canopy section 61404 detachably attached to the box section 61402, a carrying handle detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 61402, and a bracket assembly 61408 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 61402. In Figures 82A and 82B, the carrying handle of the carrier is omitted for clarity.

[0183] Similar to the mobile device 613, in this embodiment the protective device 61401 is optionally or additionally attached to the carrier 61400 by a fixing strap 61409 extending outward from the top of the protective device 61401. The difference in this embodiment is that the connection between the first portion 61403A and the second portion 61403B is chamfered rather than at a right angle. Also, one end of the fixing strap 61409 is attached to the top of the protective device 61401, and its far end (other end) is connected to the connection portion 61414A (directly installed on the canopy portion 61404) via a mounting member 61411, rather than to a carrying handle attached to the opposite side of the box portion 61402. Additionally, a fixing member 61413 is optionally installed on the strap 61409, thereby fixing the length of the fixing strap 61409 after adjustment.

[0184] In this embodiment, the carrier 61400 can be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner by a connection between the main body 61403 of the protective device 61401 and the connecting portion 61414A located on the upper part of the canopy portion 61404, in addition to the selective connection between the first mounting portion 61412 and the second mounting portion 61405. The connection structures such as the "fixing strap 61409", "connecting member 61411", and / or "fixing member 61413", and / or "first mounting portion 61412", and / or "second mounting portion 61405" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a "coupling device".

[0185] According to this disclosure, the illustrated fastening straps may be elastic or inelastic. It should be noted that elastic straps help absorb impacts from side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction while driving, while inelastic straps help disperse impacts and enhance safety strength.

[0186] According to this disclosure, the body of the protective device is composed of an energy-absorbing material or an impact-absorbing material. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, memory foam materials such as expanded polyethylene (EPE), expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyolefin (EPO), and polyurethane (PU) foam, as well as silicone and latex. The body of the protective device may be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The body of the protective device can be formed into various shapes in cross-section.

[0187] Referring to Figures 83A to 83G, various designs of the plate-like bodies according to this disclosure are shown. The plate-like bodies 615A to 615E each have a cross-sectional shape. Here, "cross-section" refers to the cross-section of the plate-like body as viewed from the front of the carrier. For example, as shown in Figure 83A, the cross-section of the plate-like body 615A can be rectangular. As another example, as shown in Figures 83B and 83C, the plate-like bodies 615B and / or 615C may consist of two parts having different thicknesses (i.e., corresponding to the width of the cross-section). The first part has a constant thickness, and the second part extends from one end (e.g., the top end) of the first part and has a thickness that gradually increases or decreases from the first part. Selectively, the second part having a gradually changing thickness may be configured such that one surface is flush with the surface of the first part and the other surface is at an angle to the other surface of the first part (see Figure 83B). Alternatively, the second portion may be configured such that two surfaces are angled to two surfaces of the first portion (see Figure 83C). In another example, the first and / or second portions may have a shape with a thickness other than gradually changing thickness that is variable. In yet another example, as shown in Figure 83D, the plate-like body 615D has a first portion and a second portion that are perpendicular or angled to each other. Selectively, the first and second portions may each have a constant thickness, and the thickness of the first portion may be equal to, but not limited to, the thickness of the first portion, which may be less than or greater than the thickness of the second portion. The first and / or second portions may also have a shape with a variable thickness. For example, as shown in Figure 83E, at least a portion of the cross-section of the plate-like body 615E may have a curved shape, such as having an arc-shaped corner. It should be understood that, as long as there is no structural inconsistency, the shapes of the plate-like bodies in embodiments of the second aspect of this application may be combined with or interchangeable with each other.

[0188] The plate-shaped body 615F is shown to have a two-layer structure, and the plate-shaped body 615G is shown to have a three-layer structure. In these embodiments, the plate-shaped bodies 615F and 615G are manufactured by laminating more than one layer, and therefore possess composite flexibility, absorbing and mitigating collisions or impacts caused by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction. That is, relatively flexible materials can help absorb collisions or impacts caused by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction, while relatively rigid materials can help disperse impacts and enhance safety strength. In view of this, relatively rigid materials may be arranged as outer layers of a multilayer plate-shaped body, and relatively flexible materials may be sandwiched between or as inner layers. Taking the plate-shaped body 615F shown in Figure 83F as an example, layer 6151F may be made of a relatively rigid material and function as an outer layer located on the side approaching the rear door of the vehicle, and layer 6152F may be made of a relatively flexible material and function as an inner layer located on the side approaching the carrier. Taking the plate-shaped body 615G as an example, layer 6152G, made from a relatively flexible material, is sandwiched between layers 6151G and 6153G. Such a three-layer structure provides the plate-shaped body with improved strength and impact resistance, and therefore the protective device with improved strength and impact resistance.

[0189] Referring to Figures 84A and 84B, different sized plate-like bodies 61603A and 61603B according to this disclosure are shown. As shown, carriers 61600A and 61600B have a defined width L61 limited by the box portion in the lateral direction B6. In the embodiment of Figure 84A, the width L62 of plate-like body 61603A is greater than the width L61 of carrier 61600A, and in the embodiment of Figure 84B, the width L63 of plate-like body 61603B is smaller than the width L61 of carrier 61600B. It should be noted that in both cases, the central axes of the corresponding plate-like bodies 61603A and 61603B (i.e., axes perpendicularly passing through the corresponding midpoints of widths L62 and L63) and the central axes of carriers 61600A and 61600B (i.e., axes perpendicularly passing through the midpoint of width L61) coincide.

[0190] Fifteenth embodiment of the second aspect: Referring to Figures 85A to 85C, a mobile device 624 according to a fifteenth embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown, with Figure 85A being a perspective view of the mobile device 624 and Figure 85B being a side view of the mobile device 624. The mobile device 624 includes a carrier 62400 and a protective device 62401 attached to the side of the carrier 62400. The carrier 62400 has a similar structure and configuration to the carrier 6100 shown in Figure 69 and includes a box section 62402, a canopy section 62404 detachably attached to the box section 62402 by a buckle assembly 62410, a carrying handle 62406 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 62402, and a bracket assembly 62408 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 62402. Similarly, the box portion 62402 may be rectangular when viewed from the top of the box portion 62402, and is defined by a pair of opposing long sides extending in the vertical direction A6 and a pair of opposing short sides extending in the horizontal direction B6. The protective device 62401 consists of a plate-shaped body 62403 made mainly of an energy-absorbing material or a shock-absorbing material.

[0191] Alternatively or additionally, in this embodiment, the protective device 62401 may be attached to the carrier 62400 on a side corresponding to either of the long sides. More specifically, when the mobile device 624 is positioned in the vehicle, the protective device 62401 may be attached to the carrier 62400 and simultaneously sandwiched between the long side of the carrier 62400 and the seat back 630. In this embodiment, the protective device 62401 is connected to and attached to the carrier 62400 by a fixing strap 62409 that extends from the protective device 62401 and has a connecting member 62411, for example, a hook, at its far end. Similarly, the plate-shaped body 62403 of the protective device 62401 (see Figure 85C) may be selectively covered with cloth to facilitate connection with the fixing strap 62409. The fixing strap 62409 may be connected at its far end by a connecting member 62411 to a connection portion 62414A of the carrier 62400. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 62414A corresponds to the positions of the fixing strap 62409 and the connecting member 62411 of the protective device 62401, and is installed on the outside of the side wall of the box portion 62402. As shown in Figure 85A, the connecting portion 62414A may be directly positioned on the outside of the side wall of the box portion 2402, or it may be connected to the side wall of the box portion 2402 via the connecting strap 62414B, which is connected to and extends from the side wall of the box portion 2402. Note that the connecting structures such as the "fixing strap 62409", "connecting member 62411" and / or the connecting portion 62414A and / or "connecting strap 62414B" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a "coupling device".

[0192] Sixteenth embodiment in the second aspect: Referring to Figures 86A to 86C, a mobile device 625 according to a sixteenth embodiment in a second aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 86A is a perspective view of the mobile device 625, and Figure 86B is a side view of the mobile device 625. The mobile device 625 includes a carrier 62500 and a protective device 62501 attached to the side of the carrier 62500. The carrier 62500 has a structure and configuration similar to the carrier 6100 shown in Figure 69, and comprises a box section 62502, a canopy section 62504 detachably attached to the box section 62502 by a buckle assembly 62510, a carrying handle 62506 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 62502, and a bracket assembly 62508 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 62502. Similarly, the box portion 62502 may be rectangular when viewed from the top of the box portion 62502, and is defined by a pair of opposing long sides extending in the vertical direction A6 and a pair of opposing short sides extending in the horizontal direction B6. The protective device 62501 consists of a plate-shaped body 62503 made mainly of an energy-absorbing material or an impact-absorbing material.

[0193] Similar to the embodiments shown in Figures 85A to 85C, in this embodiment as well, the protective device 62501 can be attached to the carrier 62500 on a side corresponding to one of the long sides of the carrier 62500. More specifically, when the mobile device 625 is installed in the vehicle, the protective device 62501 may be attached to the carrier 62500 and sandwiched between the long side of the carrier 62500 and the seat backrest 630. As shown in Figure 86C, the body 62503 of the protective device 62501 is inverted L-shaped. That is, the body 62503, made from an energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing material, is composed of a first part 62503A and a second part 62503B that are integrally molded at a right angle to each other. As shown in Figures 86A and 86B, the second portion 62503B of the main body 62503 extends horizontally and laterally B6 of the carrier 62500 from the top of the first portion 62503A, and is slightly higher than the top of the upright carrying handle 62506 or the canopy portion 62504 (when the carrying handle 62505 is removed or pivoted to a horizontal position), and covers at least a portion of the top of the carrier 62500.

[0194] Additionally or alternatively, as in this embodiment, with reference to Figures 86A to 86C, the protective device 62501 is positioned in the vehicle by a securing strap 62509 surrounding the vehicle's headrest 630A. More specifically, the securing strap 62509 may be connected at one end 62509A to the top of the protective device 62501 and extending outward from there. The securing strap 62509 extends, for example, from the front of the seat 630 (i.e., where the protective device 62501 is installed), from one side of the protective device 62501 (specifically, the main body 62503) (i.e., the side to which the end 62509A is connected) to the rear of the seat 630, from the rear of the seat 630 surrounding the headrest 630A (for example, surrounding the position where the headrest 630A and the seat 630 are connected), then extends to the front of the seat 630 (i.e., from the other side of the headrest 630A to the front of the seat 630), and is connected by the other end of the securing strap 62509 (i.e., the end away from the end 62509A) to the other side (not shown) of the main body 62503 of the protective device 62501. In this way, the protective device 62501 can be securely fixed to the seat 630 in addition to being attached to the carrier 62500. Selectively, a fixing member (not shown) can be provided on the strap 62509, thereby fixing the length of the fixing strap 62509 after adjustment. Note that a connection structure such as the "fixing strap 62509" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a "coupling device".

[0195] Additionally or alternatively, in this embodiment, the inner contour of the protective device 62501 may correspond to the contour of the carrier 62500. More specifically, the portion of the protective device 62501 where the first portion 62503A connects to the second portion 62503B has a dome-shaped inner surface (the surface facing the carrier 62500 when positioned on the vehicle), thereby the inner contour of the protective device 62501 matches the contour of the canopy portion 62504 of the carrier 62500. This configuration allows the protective device 62501 to improve its ability to prevent pet injury in the event of an accident or side collision. In this embodiment, the protective device 62501 is shown having a dome-shaped inner surface, but it should be noted that the inner contour of the protective device 62501 is not limited to this.

[0196] The protective devices 62401 and 62501 are constructed in the same manner as those shown in Figures 83A to 83G. More specifically, the bodies 62403 and 62503 of the protective devices 62401 and 62501 can be made of energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing materials. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, memory foam materials such as expanded polyethylene (EPE), expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyolefin (EPO), and polyurethane (PU) foam, as well as silicone and latex. They can be in single-layer or multi-layer structures, and their cross-sectional shapes can be formed into various shapes. For example, the bodies 62403 and 62503 of the protective devices 62401 and 62501 may be made of energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing material (such as EPP or EPS), and this material may be sandwiched between two plates made of polyethylene (PE) each having a thickness of 61 mm. Additionally or alternatively, the bodies 62403 and 62503 of the protective devices 62401 and 62501 may be selectively covered with cloth to facilitate connection with the fixing straps 62409 and 62509. According to this embodiment, by attaching the protective device to the carrier at a position between the carrier and the vehicle seat, it is possible to protect the head of a pet stored in the carrier from injury in the event of an accident or side collision. This improves the safety of pets carried in a vehicle.

[0197] Still, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 85A to 85C and FIGS. 86A to 86C, the protection devices 62401, 62501 are attached to carriers 62400, 62500 arranged on a vehicle by fixing straps 62409, 62509. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. According to the present invention, the protection device can be attached to the carrier on the side surface corresponding to any of the long sides in a similar manner to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 69 to 82A and 82B, and the carrier includes coupling devices of various configurations such as the attachment portion and / or attachment member as described above.

[0198] According to the present disclosure, by changing the structure of the canopy portion of the carrier, it is possible to further improve the impact resistance performance of the carrier. Details are described in various embodiments of the third aspect of the present disclosure. As long as there is no structural contradiction, embodiments of this aspect can also include any structure or a combination of multiple structures of the embodiments of the first aspect and / or the second aspect.

[0199] First embodiment of the third aspect: Referring to FIG. 87, a side view of a carrier 61700 of a mobile device according to the first embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. The carrier 61700 has the same structure and configuration as the carrier in any of the embodiments of the second aspect described above, and includes a box portion 61702 provided with a buckle assembly 61710, a canopy portion 6174 detachably attached to the box portion 61702, a carrying handle 61706 detachably and pivotably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 61702 via a pivot shaft 61762, and a bracket assembly 61708 connected to the outer bottom portion of the box portion 61702.

[0200] In this embodiment, the canopy portion 61704 is mainly constituted by a pair of U-shaped frames 61742 and a plurality of U-shaped support rods 61746 spaced apart from each other (also referred to as "U-shaped brackets"). A cover 61744 is connected to these frames 61742 and support rods 61746, for example, by binding or adhesion, and the canopy portion 6174 provides a shielding effect for animals inside the box portion 61702 in the deployed state. The U-shaped frames 61742 are connected to the cover 61744 (also referred to as "canopy") at the lower peripheral edge of the canopy portion 6174, and are pivotably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 61702 via corresponding pivot shafts 61748, thereby enabling the canopy portion 6174 to be folded or deployed. When the canopy portion 6174 covers the box portion 61702 in the deployed state, it can be fixed to the opposite short sides of the box portion 61702 by a magnetic connector 61720.

[0201] In this embodiment, the canopy portion 6174 is divided into two half portions, each half portion including two support rods 61746. The cover 61744 is divided into corresponding five regions 61744A to 61744E (i.e., 61744A, 61744B, 61744C, 61744D, 61744E). By increasing the number of support rods 61746, support rods for improving impact resistance can be provided on the canopy portion 6174. Alternatively, each half portion of the canopy portion 6174 may include at least two support rods, including but not limited to, for example, three, four, or five support rods. The cover having these regions can be formed by joining "sheets" or "sheet-like members" that form individual regions to each other, or may be an integrally molded structure in which each region forms a part of the cover.

[0202] Second embodiment of the third aspect: Referring to Figure 88, a schematic side view of a carrier 61800 of a mobile device according to a second embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure is shown. The carrier 61800 has a similar structure and configuration to the carrier 61700 shown in Figure 87 and includes a box section 61802 with a buckle assembly 61810, a canopy section 6184 detachably attached to the box section 61802, a carrying handle 61806 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 61802 by a pivot shaft 61862, and a bracket assembly 61808 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 61802. The canopy section 6184 has a similar structure and shape to the canopy section 6174, except for the number of support rods 61846, namely a U-shaped frame 61842 connected to the box section 61802 by a corresponding pivot shaft 61848, and support rods 61846 for supporting the cover 61844. In this embodiment, each half of the canopy section 6184 includes five support rods 61846. That is, the canopy section 6184 is equipped with a total of 10 support rods 61846, thereby dividing the cover 61844 into 11 regions 61844A to 61844K (i.e., 61844A, 61844B, 61844C, 61844D, 61844E, 61844F, 61844G, 61844H, 61844I, 61844J, 61844K). By increasing the number of support rods, the canopy section 6184 and carrier 61800 can provide support with improved impact resistance compared to carrier 61700.

[0203] The support rods may be selected as strip-shaped flexible members made of plastic or a rigid material (such as metal), but are not limited thereto. Preferably, part or all of the support rods 61746, 61846 may be made of the aforementioned energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing material, thereby providing the carrier with improved shock resistance and preventing animals from being struck or injured by side collisions or sudden changes in the vehicle's speed or direction.

[0204] Third embodiment of the third aspect: Referring to Figure 89, a carrier 61900 according to a third embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. The carrier 61900 has a similar structure and configuration to the carrier 61700 shown in Figure 87 and comprises a box section 61902 with a buckle assembly 61910, a canopy section 6194 detachably attached to the box section 61902, a carrying handle 61906 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 61902 by a pivot shaft 61962, and a bracket assembly 61908 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 61902. The canopy section 6194 also has a similar structure and configuration to the canopy section 6174 and includes a U-shaped frame 61942 connected by a pivot shaft 61948 corresponding to the box section 61902, and four support rods 61946 supporting the cover 61944. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 61944 of the canopy section 6194 is divided into five regions 61944A to 61944E (i.e., 61944A, 61944B, 61944C, 61944D, and 61944E).

[0205] The difference between carrier 61900 and carrier 61700 is that, in this embodiment, a protective device 61901 is fitted into the central region 61944C of cover 61944. The protective device 61901 is formed as a plate or sheet made from the aforementioned energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing material, thereby providing the carrier with improved shock resistance and preventing animals carried inside from being struck or damaged by side collisions or sudden changes in the speed or direction of the vehicle.

[0206] A fourth embodiment of the third aspect: Referring to Figures 90A and 90B, Figure 90A schematically shows a carrier 62000 according to a fourth embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure, and Figure 90B schematically shows the arrangement of the protective device in this embodiment.

[0207] The carrier 62000 has a similar structure and configuration to the carrier 61700 shown in Figure 87, and includes a box section 62002 with a buckle assembly 62010, a canopy section 62040 detachably attached to the box section 62002, a carrying handle 62006 detachably and pivotably connected to the opposite side of the box section 62002 by a pivot shaft 62062, and a bracket assembly 62008 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 62002. The canopy section 62040 also has a similar structure and configuration to the canopy section 6174, and includes a U-shaped frame 62042 connected by a pivot shaft 62048 corresponding to the box section 62002, and four support rods 62046 supporting the cover 62044. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 62044 of the canopy section 62040 is divided into five regions 62044A to 62044E (i.e., 62044A, 62044B, 62044C, 62044D, and 62044E).

[0208] In this embodiment, carrier 62000 differs from carrier 61700 in that the canopy portion 62040 includes a plurality of protective devices 62001 attached to the outer and / or inner surfaces of regions 62044A to 62044E. The protective devices 62001 may be formed as plates or sheets made from the aforementioned energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing materials, thereby providing the carrier with improved shock resistance to prevent animals carried inside from suffering impacts or injuries due to side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed. As shown in Figure 90B, the protective devices 62001 are attached to the inner surface of cover 62044 by fastening or adhesive. However, in regions 62044A to 62044E, these protective devices 62001 could also be attached to the outer surface of cover 62044 or fitted into cover 62044.

[0209] Furthermore, the protective device 62001 shown in Figure 90B is configured as a two-layer structure including a first layer 62001A and a second layer 62001B. The protective device 62001 is made from a selected combination of the aforementioned energy-absorbing or shock-absorbing materials, and the second layer 62001B (i.e., facing or approaching the containment space), which faces and approaches the animal inside the box (not shown), is relatively softer than the first layer 62001A and is used to provide a comfortable experience for the animal.

[0210] Alternatively, the protective device may be formed in a shape or structure corresponding to the cover 62044 of the canopy portion 62040. For example, the protective device may have a one-piece structure that perfectly conforms to the contour of the canopy portion 62040, and the protective device may be fully attached to the inner and / or outer surfaces of the cover 62044, or fitted into the cover 62044, for example, by fastening or adhesive. Preferably, the protective device is formed in a two-piece structure, with each part corresponding to half of the canopy portion 62040, thereby allowing the protective device to fold along with the folding of the canopy portion.

[0211] Fifth embodiment in the third aspect: Referring to Figures 91 to 93, Figures 91 to 93 are side views of carriers according to a fifth embodiment of a third aspect of the present disclosure, respectively, illustrating various designs of the carrier canopy. Carriers 62100, 62200, and 62300 have the same structure and configuration as carrier 61700 shown in Figure 87, except for design and modifications relating to the corresponding cover of the canopy section.

[0212] As shown in Figure 91, the carrier 62100 comprises a box section 62102 with a buckle assembly 62110, a canopy section 62140 detachably attached to the box section 62102, a carrying handle 62106 pivotably and detachably connected to the opposite side of the box section 62102 by a pivot shaft 62162, and a bracket assembly 62108 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 62102. These are similar to those parts of the carrier described above. The canopy section 62140 also has a similar structure and configuration to the canopy section described above, and includes a U-shaped frame 62142 connected to the box section 62102 by a pivot shaft 62148, and four support rods 62146 supporting a cover 62144. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 62144 of the canopy section 62140 is divided into five regions 62144A to 62144E (i.e., 62144A, 62144B, 62144C, 62144D, and 62144E).

[0213] In this embodiment, portions of areas 62144A to 62144E of the cover 62144 are made of a grid fabric (i.e., a "mesh fabric") to enhance air circulation inside and outside the carrier 62100. The grid fabric allows the user (e.g., the animal owner) to observe the animal, i.e., to form an "observation area" where the animal or the condition inside the carrier can be checked. In other embodiments, these areas may be made of a transparent material (e.g., a plastic film) and a ventilation structure may be selectively installed. It should be noted that fabrics with relatively small grid sizes can always provide relatively high strength compared to fabrics with relatively large grid sizes. In view of this, it is possible to select the grid size of the fabric according to the actual application, and selectively, different areas of the cover 62144 may be made of grid fabrics with different grid sizes.

[0214] From experience, during a collision or impact from an external object or vehicle, animals in a carrier move in a specific direction due to inertia and collide. Therefore, in this disclosure, it is preferable to place a fabric with a relatively small grid size and thus relatively high strength in the area of ​​the cover facing that direction in order to better protect the animal when the animal flies (moves / collides) towards the fabric during a collision or impact. In the embodiment shown in Figure 91, the left half of the cover 62144 is made of grid fabric, and the second area above the U-shaped frame 62142, namely area 62144D between area 62144E and area 62144C, is made of a fabric with a relatively small grid size to support the animal carried in the carrier with relatively high strength and protect the animal in a relatively safe manner. From experience, in the embodiment shown in Figure 91, an external impact or side collision brings an impact force to the carrier, causing the animal carried in the carrier to move in the direction of area 62144D. Therefore, by arranging fabrics with relatively small grid sizes, it becomes possible to protect animals within the carrier from injury when they "fly" (move / collide) towards this area.

[0215] As shown in Figure 92, the carrier 62200 comprises a box section 62202 with a buckle assembly 62210, a canopy section 62240 detachably attached to the box section 62202, a carrying handle 62206 pivotably and detachably connected to an opposing surface of the box section 62202 by a pivot shaft 62262, and a bracket assembly 62208 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 62202. These are the same as those of the carrier described above. The canopy section 62240 also has the same structure and configuration as the canopy section described above, and includes a U-shaped frame 62242 connected to the box section 62202 by a pivot shaft 62248, and four support rods 62246 supporting a cover 62244. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 62244 of the canopy section 62240 is divided into five regions 62244A to 62244E (i.e., 62244A, 62244B, 62244C, 62244D, and 62244E).

[0216] Similarly, portions of areas 62244A through 62244E of the cover 62244 are made of grid fabric to enhance air circulation inside and outside the carrier 62200, and different areas of the cover 62244 may be made of grid fabric with different grid sizes. As shown in Figure 92, at least areas 62244B through 62244E are made of grid fabric. Area 62244D between areas 62244E and 62244C is made of fabric with a relatively small grid size. Empirically, in the embodiment shown in Figure 92, an external impact or side collision would impose an impact force on the carrier, moving the animal carried by the carrier toward area 62244D. Therefore, as the animal "flies" (moves / collides) toward this area, the presence of fabric with a relatively small grid size in such an area can protect the animal in the carrier from injury. Furthermore, area 62244B can be covered with cloth 62244' (which may be an example of a "protective cover"), and when this cloth is removed, the inside of the box 62202 is exposed so that the user or the animal's owner can check the condition of the animal inside.

[0217] As shown in Figure 93, the carrier 62300 comprises a box section 62302 with a buckle assembly 62310, a canopy section 62340 detachably attached to the box section 62302, a carrying handle 62306 pivotably and detachably connected to the opposite side of the box section 62302 by a pivot shaft 62362, and a bracket assembly 62308 connected to the outer bottom of the box section 62302, which are similar to those parts of the carrier described above. The canopy section 62340 also has a similar structure and configuration to the canopy section described above, and includes a U-shaped frame 62342 connected to the box section 62302 by a pivot shaft 62348, and four support rods 62346 supporting a cover 62344. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 62344 of the canopy section 62340 is divided into five regions 62344A to 62344E (i.e., 62344A, 62344B, 62344C, 62344D, and 62344E).

[0218] Similarly, a part of regions 62344A to 62344E of the cover 62344 is made of grid fabric to enhance air circulation inside and outside the carrier 62300, and different regions of the cover 62344 may be made of grid fabric with different grid sizes. As shown in Fig. 93, at least regions 62344B to 62344E are made of grid fabric. In this embodiment, the region 62344D sandwiched between regions 62344E and 62344C, and the region 62344B sandwiched between regions 62344A and 62344C are made of the same fabric with a relatively small grid size. In this way, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 93, even when an animal "flies (moves / collides)" toward the two regions 62344B and 62344D, it is possible to protect the animal inside the carrier. Furthermore, the region 62344B can be covered with a cloth 62344', and removing the cloth 62344' exposes the interior of the box portion 62302, allowing a user or the animal's owner to check the condition of the animal inside.

[0219] In addition to being attached to the carrier on the side corresponding to either of the short sides of the carrier, the protection device can also be attached to the carrier on the side corresponding to either of the long sides of the carrier, as in the embodiments respectively shown in Figs. 85A to 85C and Figs. 86A to 86C.

[0220] The fourth aspect of the present disclosure provides a carrier and an anti-collision material arranged on the carrier, the specific structure of which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The "anti-collision material" in this aspect is also called "anti-collision body (part)" or "protection block (structure)", and can be regarded as an example of a "protection device".

[0221] Referring to Fig. 94, Fig. 94 schematically shows a box body 7110 according to the first embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present disclosure.

[0222] As shown in Figure 94, the carrier of the first embodiment of this aspect includes a box body 7110, which includes a main body 7111 and a bottom support member 7112, where the main body 7111 forms the four sides and top surface of the box body 7110, and the bottom support member 7112 forms the bottom of the box body 7110. In one embodiment, the main body 7111 is detachably connected to the bottom support member 7112, more specifically positioned above the bottom support member 7112, and together with the bottom support member 7112 forms a dwelling space for placing a pet.

[0223] The main body 7111 may include a first support member and a second support member. In this embodiment, the first support member may be a side support member 71111, and the second support member may be an upper support member 71112, and the side support member 71111 and the upper support member 71112 may be connected to each other at least partially by at least one connecting assembly. The connecting assembly may include matching structures disposed on the side support member 71111 and the upper support member 71112, respectively. For example, the matching structures may be mutually matching zipper structures, engagement structures, slide buckle structures, Velcro®, hook-and-loop structures, etc., and optionally, flexible connecting structures may be used.

[0224] For example, the side support member 71111 may include a first sub-support member 71111a and a second sub-support member 71111b, each positioned on either side of the upper support member 71112 (for example, symmetrically positioned with respect to the upper support member 71112), and at least a portion of the first sub-support member 71111a and at least a portion of the second sub-support member 71111b may be detachably connected to the upper support member 711112 by a connecting assembly. The first sub-support member 71111a and the second sub-support member 71111b of the side support member 71111 form two sides of the main body 7111, and the upper support member 71112 forms the top surface and at least a portion of the other two sides of the main body 7111. Selectively, the first sub-support member 71111a and the second sub-support member 71111b are integrally connected by a connecting sheet 71111c. For example, the first sub-support member 71111a and the second sub-support member 71111b are integrally molded with the connecting sheet 71111c.

[0225] The upper support member 71112 includes three sheet-like members connected to each other, forming an arch shape when connected to the side support members 71111. Specifically, the upper support member 71112 may include a first sheet-like member 71112a, a second sheet-like member 71112b, and a third sheet-like member 71112c, where the first sheet-like member 71112a and the third sheet-like member 71112c each form part of the other two sides of the main body 7111, and the second sheet-like member 71112b forms the top surface of the main body 7111. Selectively, the first sheet-like member 71112a and the third sheet-like member 71112c have a flexible structure (i.e., bendable). As a specific example, the upper support member 71112 may have an integral structure, that is, the three sheet-like members 71112a, 71112b, and 71112c may be formed as a single body by connecting means such as sewing. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the three sheet-like members may be detachably connected to each other by a flexible connecting structure or the like.

[0226] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 94, a carrying handle 7115 for lifting the pet carrier can be provided on the top side of the upper support member 71112 (i.e., the second sheet-like member 71112b), for example, at an intermediate position on the top side. As an example, the carrying handle 7115 can be made of flexible webbing. Selectively or alternatively, the carrying handle 7115 may be made of rigid plastic.

[0227] Referring to Figures 95 and 96, Figures 95 and 96 schematically show another perspective view of the box body 7110 shown in Figure 1, in which at least a portion of the second window cover 7117a is separated from the main body 7111.

[0228] As shown in Figure 95, windows such as a first window 7116 and a second window 7117 can be provided on one or more sides of the main body 7111, providing an opening for observing the pet inside the box 7110 and / or for the pet to enter and exit the box. The first window 7116 and the second window 7117 can be closed and / or shielded by providing a first sealing member and a second sealing member, respectively. For example, the first sealing member may be a first window cover 7116a that covers the first window 7116, and the second sealing member may be a second window cover 7117a that covers the second window 7117.

[0229] Specifically, in one example, the first window 7116 is provided with a first window cover 7116a, which is positioned on a first sub-support member 71111a and / or a second sub-support member 71111b of the side support member 71111 of the main body 7111 and used to cover and shield the first window 7116. Optionally, the first window cover 7116a may be fixedly connected to the first window 7116 (e.g., its window frame), i.e., the first window 7116 cannot be opened, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the first window cover 7116a may be detachably connected to the first window 7116. For example, the first window cover 7116a may have a transparent material and / or a breathable material, or specifically, the first window cover 7116a may have a mesh structure.

[0230] Furthermore, the second window 7117 may be located on the upper support member 71112 of the main body 7111, for example, the upper support member 71112 is located on the side of the box body 7110 and is fitted with a second window cover 7117a used to cover and shield the second window 7117. Optionally, as shown in Figure 95, the second window 7117 may extend downward from the upper support member 71112 (for example, the third sheet-like member 1112c) to the connecting sheet 71111c, and furthermore, a portion of the second window 7117 may be located on the connecting sheet 71111c of the side support member 71111. The lower edge of the second window 7117 is spaced a certain distance from the bottom edge of the main body 7111, i.e., at least a portion of the connecting sheet 71111c is held, thereby maintaining the connection between the bottom edges of both the first sub-support member 71111a and the second sub-support member 71111b of the side support member 71111, facilitating the folding and unfolding of the main body 7111, and connecting and separating the main body 7111 from the bottom support member 7112. Although not shown, it should be understood that the second window 7117 may be entirely located on the upper support member 71112, for example, on the third sheet-like member 71112c of the support member 71112 (but not extending to the connecting sheet 71111c).

[0231] As an example, as shown in Figure 95, the second window cover 7117a is connected to and covers the second window 7117 (for example, connected to a window frame), and at least a portion of the second window cover 7117a is openable to the second window 7117. In a preferred embodiment, a portion of the second window cover 7117a is detachably connected to the second window 7117, and the other portion is non-detachably connected to the second window 7117. For example, the upper part of the second window cover 7117a may be fixedly connected to the second window 7117, and the other portion may be detachably connected to the second window 7117, thereby allowing the second window 7117 to be opened by flipping the second window cover 7117a upward.

[0232] As an example, the second window cover 7117a may have a transparent material or a mesh structure. Selectively or alternatively, the second window cover 7117a may have different materials or thicknesses, for example, a portion of it may be made of a transparent material and / or a breathable material (specifically, a mesh structure may be employed), and the remaining portion may be made of other materials, for example, the same material as the other parts of the main body 7111. Furthermore, different parts of the second window cover 7117a having different materials and / or thicknesses may be connected to the main body 7111 in different ways, for example, a portion may be detachably connected to the main body 7111, and the other portion may be non-detachably connected to the main body 7111. Selectively, the different materials of the second window cover 7117a may be integrated as a single unit, i.e., the second window cover 7117a may be a single part.

[0233] For example, as shown in Figures 95 and 96, the second window cover 7117a has a first portion 71171a and a second portion 71172a connected to each other. The first portion 71171a has a transparent and / or breathable material (e.g., a mesh structure) and can cover a portion of the second window 7117. At least a portion of the first portion 71171a may be fixedly (e.g., non-removably) connected to the body 7111. Specifically, the first portion 71171a is located above the second window 7117 near the top surface of the body 7111, and its upper end may be fixedly connected to the upper edge of the second window 7117. The second portion 71172a may be made of a different material and / or thickness than the first portion 71171a, for example, an opaque material and / or a thickness greater than that of the first portion 71171a, and may be detachably connected to the body 7111 by a flexible connecting structure, specifically connected to the underside of the first portion 71171a and covering the other portion of the second window 7117.

[0234] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 95, the first window cover 7116a and / or the second window cover 7117a may be made of a flexible fabric such as mesh cloth or sponge cloth. It should be understood that the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the first window cover 7116a and / or the second window cover 7117a may be made of other forms of fabric or flexible material, i.e., a bendable or foldable material. For example, the first window cover 7116a and / or the second window cover 7117a may be closed and at least partially opened by a zipper structure (or other flexible detachable connecting structure), the zipper structure may be made of one zipper or two zippers pulled in opposite directions as shown in Figure 4.

[0235] It should be noted that the windows and / or sealing members of this disclosure are not limited to the embodiments described above, and the first window 7116 and the second window 7117 are identical or interchangeable in function and open and closed modes, and the first window cover 7116a and the second window cover 7117a are also identical or interchangeable in function, material and connection to the corresponding window.

[0236] Furthermore, collision prevention material may be installed on the box 7110, for example, on any side of the main body 7111 of the box 7110, and is not limited to each side of the main body, but may also include the top and / or bottom. When the box 7110 is installed in a vehicle seat, the collision prevention material may be placed at least on one side of the main body 7111 closer to the vehicle door to further enhance the safety of the pet inside the box 7110. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the collision prevention material may be placed on each side of the main body 7111, or on one side of the main body 7111 closer to the vehicle door and the opposite side, and may have a certain thickness. Specifically, the collision prevention material may be a buffer. The cushioning body may be configured as a separate component, for example, a separately formed cushioning block, which can be wrapped in a seat bag and sewn inside the seat bag, and then fixed to the seat fabric (i.e., the seat fabric covering the main body 7111, not shown) on any side of the box body 7110 (e.g., the side near the vehicle door and optionally the opposite side) by sewing (fixed connection) or by adhesive buttons or concealed buttons (removable connection). For example, corresponding adhesive buttons or concealed buttons can be placed on the seat bag covering the cushioning block and on any side of the main body 7110 (specifically, the seat fabric covering the main body 7110), allowing the cushioning body to be placed as needed, which helps to manage the carrier's costs and simplifies cleaning and maintenance. That is, for example, it is possible to provide only one cushioning body on one side of the box body 7110 near the vehicle door, or, for example, multiple cushioning bodies can be provided on one side of the box body 7110 near the vehicle door and the opposite side, or on each side of the box body 7110. Specifically, the buffer is made of a flexible material, such as foam, plastic, or elastic material. Here, the foam may be inert memory foam, EPP, EPS, EPE, or a combination thereof, or a foam material combined with a PE plate, and its thickness may be between 720 mm and 760 mm, preferably 740 mm, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The plastic material may be a PC / PP / ABS plastic block, etc. The elastic material may be silicone, a spring, an elastic sheet, etc., but this disclosure is not limited thereto.This cushioning material not only provides excellent cushioning, but also facilitates processing, molding, and subsequent production assembly, thereby reducing production costs. Selectively or alternatively, the collision prevention material may be configured as a filler material that is packed into the seat fabric.

[0237] As an example, at least a portion of the collision prevention material is detachably connected to the box body 7110. In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 96, the collision prevention material may be located on the second window cover 7117a (for example, its second portion 71172a), that is, it may be at least partially detachably connected to the box body 7110 together with the second window cover 7117a. Optionally or alternatively, the collision prevention material may be configured as a filler material that fills the second portion 71172a of the second window cover 7117a, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the two may be separate structures joined to each other.

[0238] Referring to Figure 97, which shows a schematic perspective view of a carrier mounted on a vehicle seat according to an embodiment of the fourth aspect of this disclosure. For ease of explanation, the process of mounting the carrier to the vehicle seat will be described below using the box 7110 as an example. However, it is clear that this process is also applicable to the carriers of each embodiment of the first to third aspects described above, provided there are no structural inconsistencies.

[0239] As shown in Figure 97, the fixing strap assembly 7300 can also be used to fix the box 7110 to the vehicle. When fixing the carrier to the vehicle seat, as shown in the assembly diagram in Figure 15, after the carrier box 7110 is placed on the vehicle seat, one end of the fixing strap assembly 7300 is connected to the corresponding interface of the vehicle seat (e.g., Top Tether interface) via a connector, and the other end of the fixing strap assembly 7300 is connected to another corresponding interface of the vehicle seat (e.g., ISOFIX interface) by passing through the handle 7115 located on the top side of the box 7110, around the front side of the box 7110, and through the bottom of the box 7110, thereby further restricting lateral sliding, tilting, etc. of the carrier box 7110 and fixing the carrier more stably. The fixing strap assembly 7300 does not necessarily have to pass through the handle, or if there is no handle, other devices (e.g., a strap guide mechanism) may be installed on the carrier to restrict the lateral movement of the fixing strap assembly, but this is not repeated in this specification.

[0240] A second embodiment of the fourth aspect further provides a carrier.

[0241] Referring to Figures 98 and 99, Figure 98 shows a carrier casing 7210 according to a second embodiment of a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, and Figure 99 is another perspective view of the casing 7210 shown in Figure 98, with a window 7217 on one side of the casing 7210 in the open position.

[0242] As shown in Figure 98, similar to the box body 7110 in the previously described embodiment, the box body 7210 of the carrier in this embodiment includes a main body 7211 and a bottom support member 7212. The main body 7211 forms the four sides and top surface of the box body 7210, and the bottom support member 7212 forms the bottom of the box body 7210. The main body 7211 is detachably connected to and installed on the bottom support member 7212, and together with the bottom support member 7212, it forms a storage space for accommodating a pet. Specifically, as shown in Figure 98, the main body 7211 includes first and second support members, such as a side support member 72111 and an upper support member 72112, and the side support member 72111 includes a first sub-support member 72111a and a second sub-support member 72111b, each forming two opposing sides of the main body 7211. The upper support member 72112 includes a first sheet-like member 72112a, a second sheet-like member 72112b, and a third sheet-like member 72112c, which are connected to each other, the second sheet-like member 72112b forming the top surface of the main body 7211, and the first sheet-like member 72112a and the third sheet-like member 72112c each forming at least a portion of two other opposing sides.

[0243] For example, the side support member 72111 and the upper support member 72112 may be connected to each other at least partially by at least one connecting assembly. For instance, a portion of the first sub-support member 72111a and a portion of the second sub-support member 72111b of the side support member 72111 may be fixedly (e.g., non-removably) connected to both sides of the upper support member 72112, while the other portions of each may be detachably connected to the upper support member 72112 by a second connecting assembly. Specifically, each second connecting assembly may include a third connecting member 72118 and a fourth connecting member 72119 that are detachably connected to each other, the third connecting member 72118 being positioned on the side of the upper support member 72112 and extending along a portion of the side, and the fourth connecting member 72119 being positioned at a corresponding location on the top edge of the side support member 72111 (i.e., the first sub-support member 72111a or the second sub-support member 72111b). Selectively, the third connecting members 72118 positioned on two sides of the upper support member 72112 are arranged symmetrically, i.e., the two second connecting assemblies are installed symmetrically with respect to the box body 7210. In other examples, though not shown, the side support member 72111 and the upper support member 72112 may be completely separated from each other by the connecting assembly, which is not specifically described herein.

[0244] Furthermore, one or more sides of the main body 7211 may be fitted with windows to allow observation of the pet inside the box 7210 and / or to provide an opening for the pet to enter and exit the box.

[0245] As an example, as shown in Figure 98, a first window 7216 can be provided in the side support member 72111 of the main body 7211. For example, the first window 7216 may be located on the first sub-support member 72111a and / or the second sub-support member 72111b of the side support member 72111, that is, corresponding to the front and / or rear sides of the box body 7210 installed inside the vehicle, and configured to be covered by a first sealing member (e.g., a first window cover 7216a). Optionally, the first window cover 7216a may be fixedly connected to the first window 7216 or detachably connected to the first window 7216. The first window cover 7216a may have a transparent material and / or a breathable material, such as a breathable mesh cloth, so that air can circulate inside and outside the box body 7210 and the user can observe the conditions inside the box body 7210.

[0246] In an optional or alternative example, as shown in Figure 98, a second window 7217 may be provided at the location of the upper support member 72112 on the side of the box body 7210, and the second window 7217 may be configured to be covered by a second sealing member. For example, the second sealing member may include a second window cover 3217a and / or a side door 7217b. At least a portion of the second sealing member is detachably connected to the body 7211. For example, a portion of the second sealing member may be fixedly connected to the body 7211, for example, to at least a portion of the side edge of the window frame of the second window 7217, and the other portion may be detachably connected to the second window 7217 by a flexible detachable connection structure (e.g., a zipper structure), allowing the second sealing member to open laterally relative to the second window 7217 (see Figure 99). The second sealing member has a transparent material and / or a breathable material, a light-shielding material, or the same material as the other parts of the main body 7211 (e.g., seat cloth), and the second sealing member may have a flexible material or a rigid material. In this embodiment, the flexible detachable connection structure may be a zipper structure. Specifically, as shown in Figure 98, for example, the zipper structure may be formed by a single zipper extending along a portion of the outer periphery of the window 7217 (i.e., the zipper structure has a single zipper head), but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the zipper structure may be formed by two zippers pulled in opposite directions, if necessary (i.e., the zipper structure has two zipper heads).

[0247] Specifically, there may be only one second window 7217, for example, located on one side of the main body 7211 (such as the left or right side), and a second sealing member may be provided to shield or close the second window 7217. The second sealing member may be a second window cover (such as one having a breathable material or mesh material) or a side door. Selectively or alternatively, two second windows 7217 may be provided on opposing sides of the main body 7211 (i.e., the left and right sides). Correspondingly, each of the two second windows 7217 may be provided with a corresponding second sealing member, and the two second sealing members may be made of the same or different materials. For example, one second sealing member may be a second window cover such as a breathable mesh cloth, and the other sealing member may be a side door 7217b that can be used for the pet to enter and exit the box. The side door 7217b may be positioned on the side closer to the vehicle door when the box body 7210 is installed in a vehicle seat. The side door 7217b may be covered with the same material as the seat fabric of the main body 7211. This disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment, and the positions of the second sealing members on both sides of the main body 7211 are interchangeable and may be made of the same material.

[0248] Furthermore, collision prevention material can be installed inside the box 7210. The collision prevention material may have a certain thickness and can be placed on any side of the main body 7211 of the box 7210 to enhance the safety of pets inside the box 7210. As a specific example, as shown in Figures 98 and 99, the collision prevention material can be installed on the side door 7217b, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the collision prevention material can be placed on each side of the box 7211, or on two opposing sides of the box 7211 (for example, the side closer to the vehicle door and the side opposite it). Specifically, the collision prevention material may be a buffer, and the buffer may be made of foam and / or plastic and / or elastic material, and the specific material is the same as in the embodiments described above and therefore not repeated. Furthermore, the buffer may be configured as a separately formed buffer block, which can be wrapped around and fixed (e.g., sewn) to the seat fabric of the side door 7217b, or sewn to the seat bag and detachably fixed to the side door 7217b with adhesive buttons or hidden buttons, etc. By providing such collision prevention materials, when a vehicle is involved in a collision, especially a side impact, it can provide a better cushioning effect to the pet inside the enclosure, thus better protecting the pet.

[0249] In the embodiments described above, "front," "rear," "left," and "right" refer to the orientation of the box bodies 7110 and 7210 when they are positioned on a vehicle seat or other mobile device. For example, "front" indicates the direction of travel of the vehicle or mobile device, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0250] Furthermore, it should be noted that the various embodiments of each of the above aspects of this disclosure may be used in any combination or intersection, provided that there is no structural inconsistency.

[0251] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a carrier comprising a housing body, a canopy assembly, and a protective cover, wherein the housing body has a top opening, the canopy assembly is attached to the housing body and has an extended state that closes the top opening, and the protective cover is connected to at least one of the housing body and the canopy assembly, and the protective cover is used to cover at least a portion of the canopy assembly when the canopy assembly is in the extended state.
