Description

An improved foldable pet bag Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pet utensils, and more particularly to an improved foldable pet bag. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate the storage and carrying of pet bags, many foldable pet bags are now available on the market, such as a foldable pet bag disclosed in the authorization publication number CN 201938177U. Existing foldable pet bags usually include a bag body, which is a rectangular or approximately rectangular body consisting of a bag body and two side panels connected to both sides of the bag body. The two side panels are respectively connected to the two sides of the bag body through a first zipper; the side panels are also provided with pet entry and exit doors, which are connected to the side panels through a second zipper. In order to make the bag body foldable and stowable, the bag body is usually made of flexible fabric; and to ensure that the pet bag remains stable after assembly and does not collapse, the two side panels are sewn together by a hard ∩-shaped steel ring and a cloth covering the steel ring.

[0003] To facilitate folding of the side panels and to accommodate pet owners' usage habits, the bottom of the side panels are typically fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the bottom of the bag body. The first zipper on the side panel extends from the bottom of one side panel along the outside of the steel ring to the bottom of the other side. The second zipper on the pet access door is located on the inside of the steel ring, similar to the first zipper.

[0004] However, when taking a pet out of a pet bag, because the first zipper is larger than the second zipper and the bottom of the pet bag is usually placed on the ground, users often open the first zipper, causing the side panels to flip downward, separating the steel rings on the side panels from the bag body. Without the support provided by the steel rings, the top and sides of the bag body can easily collapse, causing pets to be startled or injured. This has become a major complaint among many pet owners about these foldable pet bags. Therefore, how to reduce the risk of pets being startled or injured by users accidentally opening the first zipper is an urgent issue. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides an improved foldable pet bag, which reduces the probability of users opening the first zipper by mistake by preventing the first zipper from opening along the path from one side of a side panel to the other side of the bag body.

[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An improved foldable pet bag comprises a bag body, wherein the bag body comprises a bag body and at least one side panel, at least one of the side panels being connected to the bag body via a first zipper, and a pet entry and exit door being provided on the side panel, wherein the pet entry and exit door is connected to the side panel via a second zipper, and a blocking portion is provided between the top surface of the bag body and the side panel to prevent the first zipper from opening along a path from one side surface of the side panel to the other side surface of the bag body.

[0008] Preferably, the side panels are formed by sewing a hard support bone and a cloth covering the hard support bone, or by using an integrally formed hard plate covered with a layer of cloth.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the barrier portion is a connecting tape connecting the top edge of the bag body with the top edge of the side panel.

[0010] Furthermore, the length of the connecting tape is 1 / 2 to 1 times the length of the top edge of the side panel.

[0011] Furthermore, the first zipper is arranged in a manner of opening or closing along one side edge of the side panel, the bottom edge of the side panel, and the other side edge of the side panel.

[0012] In another preferred embodiment, the bottom edge of the side panel is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the bag body by fabric, and the first zipper is arranged in a manner of opening or closing along one side edge of the side panel, the top edge of the side panel and the other side edge of the side; the blocking portion is a piece of fabric provided next to the first zipper, one end of the piece of fabric is fixed to the bag body or the side panel, the piece of fabric covers the first zipper on the top surface, and the other end is detachably connected to the side panel or the bag body.

[0013] Preferably, the pet door is connected to the side panel in a rotating manner with the bottom as the axis, and the second zipper is arranged to open or close along the side of the pet door, the top surface of the pet door, or the other side of the pet door.

[0014] Furthermore, one of the side panels is provided on each of the symmetrical sides of the bag body, and one or both of the side panels are provided with the pet entry and exit door.

[0015] From the above description of the structure of the utility model, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. The present invention provides a blocking portion between the top surface of the bag body and the side panels to prevent the user from opening the first zipper from one side of the side panel along the top surface of the bag body to the other side. When a pet needs to enter or exit the pet bag, if the user mistakenly moves the first zipper from the side of the side panel along the top surface of the bag body, it will be blocked by the blocking portion and unable to move further. Therefore, the present invention prevents the user from directly opening the first zipper from one side of the side panel along the top surface of the bag body to the other side, reducing the chance of users accidentally opening the first zipper and reducing the risk of the pet being startled or injured due to the collapse of the top of the bag body.

[0017] 2. The barrier portion of this utility model can be a fabric piece covering the zipper at the top of the side panel. One end of the fabric piece is connected to the side panel / body, and the other end is detachably connected to the body / side panel. This fabric piece and the bottom fabric block the user from opening the first zipper. When folding, the detachable end of the fabric piece is opened, and the first zipper can be smoothly opened. This barrier portion can be directly sewn onto the existing foldable pet bag by sewing the fabric piece and connecting components, making it a simple and cost-effective improvement.

[0026] The following describes specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Numerous details are provided below to provide a comprehensive understanding of the present invention, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented without these details. Well-known components, methods, and processes will not be described in detail below.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Referring to Figure 1 , an improved foldable pet bag comprises a bag body, which includes a bag body 10 and at least one side panel 20. In this embodiment, two side panels 20 are preferably provided, symmetrically connected to the bag body 10. Each side panel 20 is connected to the bag body 10 via a first zipper 21. One or both side panels 20 are provided with a pet access door 22, which is connected to the side panel 20 via a second zipper 23.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 , the bag body 10 is made of flexible fabric for easy folding. The side panels 20 are sewn together from a rigid support rib 201 and a fabric 202 that encases the rigid support rib. The rigid support rib 201 is preferably ∩-shaped. In this embodiment, the top edge of the side panel 20 is connected to the top edge of the bag body 10 via a connecting tape 11. The length of the connecting tape 11 is between 1 / 2 and 1 times the length of the top edge of the side panel.

[0030] 1 , one of the chain straps of the first zipper 21 is arranged along one side edge of the side panel 20 , the bottom edge of the side panel 20 , and the other side edge of the side panel 20 in sequence by one end of the connecting cloth tape 11 , and the other chain strap is arranged correspondingly at the side edge of the bag body 10 .

[0031] The connecting tape 11 forms a blocking portion that prevents the first zipper 21 from opening along a path from one side of the side panel 20 to the top surface of the bag body 10 toward the other side of the side panel. In other words, any movement of the first zipper 21 from the side of the side panel 20 along the top surface of the bag body 10 will be blocked by the blocking portion and prevented from further movement. As shown in FIG2 , even if the first zipper 21 on the side is mistakenly opened along a path from one side of the side panel 20 to the bottom surface of the bag body 10 toward the other side of the side panel, the top surface of the bag body will remain connected to the top surface of the side panel and will not collapse.

[0032] Referring to Figure 3 , the pet door 22 is connected to the side panel 20 by rotating with its bottom as the axis. Specifically, the bottom of the pet door 22 can be directly sewn to the fabric on the outer surface of the rigid support frame of the side panel 20. A second zipper 23 is arranged to open and close along the side, top, and other sides of the pet door 22. Specifically, one zipper strap of the second zipper 23 extends from the bottom of the side of the pet door 22, along the top of the pet door 22, to the bottom of the other side of the pet door, while the other zipper strap is arranged on the side panel 20. When the second zipper 23 is opened, the pet door 22 is flipped about its bottom axis and rests on the ground, allowing pets to enter and exit through the door opening formed in the side panel 20.

[0033] 4 , when the bag body needs to be folded, the first zipper 21 is zipped from one side of the side panel 20 along the bottom of the side panel and the other side of the side panel 20 to the end of the connecting tape 11. At this time, the entire side panel 20 can be rotated around the connecting tape 11 to be folded onto the bag body 10.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] 5 , the foldable pet bag of this embodiment also includes a bag body, which is composed of a bag body 10 and two side panels 20. The side panels 20 are connected to the bag body 10 via a first zipper 21. One or both side panels 20 are provided with a pet access door 22, which is connected to the side panels 20 via a second zipper 23. The main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the bottom edges of the side panels 20 are connected to the bottom edges of the bag body 10 via a connecting tape 11, allowing the side panels 20 to rotate about the connecting tape 11.

[0036] 5 , one of the chain straps of the first zipper 21 is arranged along one side edge of the side panel 20 , the top edge of the side panel 20 , and the other side edge of the side panel 20 in sequence by one end of the connecting cloth tape 11 , and the other chain strap is arranged correspondingly at the side edge of the bag body 10 .

[0037] Referring to Figures 5 and 6 , this embodiment shows a fabric piece 12 positioned adjacent to the first zipper 21 at the top of the side panel 20. One end of the fabric piece 20 is secured to the bag body 10 / side panel 20, covering the top first zipper 21. The other end of the fabric piece 12 is detachably attached to the side panel 20 / body 10. In this embodiment, the fabric piece 12 is attached to the bag body 10 or side panel 20 via Velcro 13. Of course, the detachable attachment method of the present invention is not limited to Velcro; buttons, magnets, and other attachment methods may also be used.

[0038] 7 , the pet door 22 is connected to the side panel 20 in a rotational manner with the bottom as the axis. The second zipper 23 is arranged to open or close along the side of the pet door 22, the top surface of the pet door 22, and the other side of the pet door.

[0039] 8 , when folding is required, the detachable connection end of the fabric panel 12 is first opened, and the first zipper 21 can be smoothly opened from one side of the side panel 20 along the top surface of the bag body 10 to the other side of the side panel. The entire side panel 20 can then be rotated around the fabric panel as an axis to be folded onto the bag body 10.

[0040] In addition, the side panels 20 are not limited to being formed by sewing the above-mentioned hard support bones and cloth, but can also be an integrally formed hard plate covered with a layer of cloth.

[0041] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited to this. Any non-substantial changes to the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
