[0068] Additionally, the intermediate area provided between one side and the other side of the extension cover (330) can be supported by the aforementioned first frame (310) and second frame (320).

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the expansion cover (330) may be provided as a mesh type so that the interior of the receiving space (300A) is visible from the outside. The mesh type may refer to a material made by weaving a fabric material into a net shape, and the mesh type has excellent breathability and transparency.

[0070] As the expansion cover (330) is provided in a mesh type, the condition of the pet can be easily checked, and air circulation within the internal space (100A) of the pet bag (10) can be facilitated, thereby providing a comfortable environment for the pet. In addition, the mesh type expansion cover (330) is lightweight and flexible, which can improve the portability and user convenience of the pet bag (10).

[0071] A cover (350) is provided on the upper part of the main body (100) to cover the internal space (100A). In an exemplary embodiment, the cover (350) may be attached to or detached from the main body (100) by a zipper. That is, the cover (350) can close or open the internal space (100A) according to the user's convenience.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, the zippers for opening and closing the cover (350) may be provided as two. Specifically, the zippers for opening and closing the cover (350) may include a front zipper that separates or connects a portion of the cover (350) from the front of the main body, and a rear zipper that separates or connects a portion of the cover (350) from the rear of the main body. Depending on the situation, the user may selectively open or close only a specific portion of the cover (350) using the zippers. Through this design, the pet bag (10) of the present disclosure can facilitate the entry and exit of the pet and provide a comfortable environment by controlling the ventilation of the internal space (100A).

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the cover (350) may be provided in a mesh type so that the interior of the receiving space (300A) is visible from the outside. As the cover (350) is provided in a mesh type, the condition of the pet can be easily checked, and air circulation within the interior space (100A) of the pet bag (10) can be facilitated, thereby providing a comfortable environment for the pet.

[0074] The outer storage portion (410) can be provided on the outer side of the main body (100) to provide storage space. For example, the outer storage portion (410) can be provided in two places on the outer side of the pet bag (10).

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, an elastic string (420) is provided on the outside of the pet bag (10) and may be configured to open or close the storage space of the outer storage portion (410) by tightening or stretching due to elasticity. This structure enhances user convenience and can help efficiently store various items needed when going out with a pet.

[0076] The first fastening cover (520) may be a cover that covers at least a portion of the cover (350). In an exemplary embodiment, one side of the first fastening cover (520) may be coupled to the back panel (150). Additionally, a protruding coupling member (not shown) may be provided on the inner surface of the first fastening cover (520) and coupled with an insertion coupling member (533) to be described later.

[0077] A second fastening cover (530) may be provided on the upper part of the first front door (210) and coupled with the first fastening cover (520).

That is, the first fastening cover (520) and the second fastening cover (530) may be coupled or separated based on the coupling and release of the protruding coupling member and the insertion coupling member (533).

[0078] When the first fastening cover (520) and the second fastening cover (530) are combined, the structural reliability of the bag (10) can be improved during movement. Additionally, a comfortable environment can be provided to a pet resting in the interior space (100A) of the pet bag (10) by blocking sunlight through the first fastening cover (520).

[0079] Additionally, a protruding coupling member is provided on the inner side of the first fastening cover (520), and an insertion coupling member (533) is provided on the inner side of the second fastening cover (530), so that when the first fastening cover (520) and the second fastening cover (530) are combined, the protruding coupling member and the insertion coupling member (533) may not be visible from the outside. Accordingly, the appearance of the pet bag (10) can be maintained in a neat and sophisticated manner.

[0080] The back panel (150) is a panel including a cushion provided at the rear of the pet bag (10) and may be a part that comes into direct contact with the user's back. Since the back panel (150) may be composed of a cushion including high-density foam padding, the back panel (150) can effectively distribute the weight of the pet bag (10). In addition, the exterior of the back panel (150) is finished with a highly breathable mesh material to promote air circulation and provide comfort even when worn by the user for a long time.

[0081] A mounting plate (155) is located on the rear of the main body (100) and may provide a fixing hole through which a fixing strap (e.g., a vehicle seat belt) for securing the pet bag (10) can pass. In an exemplary embodiment, the mounting plate (155) may be attached to a back panel (150) to form a vertical fixing hole.

[0082] For example, when using the pet bag (10) inside a vehicle, the vehicle's seat belt can be secured by passing it through the fixing hole of the mounting plate (155), so that the pet bag (10) can be securely fixed to the vehicle.

[0083] The bag strap (610) may be a strap designed to be attached to the back of the pet bag (10) so that the user can carry it on their shoulder. The bag strap (610) may be provided in a structure in which multiple straps are connected by buckles. Additionally, two bag straps (610) may be interconnected through a bag strap connecting member (613). This connecting structure can evenly distribute the weight of the bag, thereby reducing the burden placed on the user's shoulder.

[0084] Additionally, the waist strap (620) may be a strap attached to the back of the pet bag (10) to wrap around the user's waist and secure the pet bag (10). The waist strap (620) may have a structure in which multiple straps are connected by a buckle, and the length of the strap can be freely adjusted through the buckle.

[0085] Through this, the weight of the pet bag (10) is distributed to the user's waist, thereby reducing the burden on the user's shoulders. Additionally, the waist strap (620) minimizes the shaking of the pet bag, providing a stable fit and comfort even when worn for a long time.

[0086] The support member (710) is attached to the lower part of the main body (100) so that the pet bag (10) can be stably fixed to the floor through friction. In an exemplary embodiment, the support member (710) includes two rubber materials to prevent the pet bag (10) from slipping. The rubber material of the support member (710) can be safely seated on surfaces that are prone to damage, such as sofas or car seats, to prevent scratches or damage.

[0087] Additionally, the pet bag (10) of the present disclosure may further include a lower protective plate (800) that is placed in the internal space (100A) of the main body (100) and is provided in a 'C' shape rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, covering the bottom surface and the inner surface in the internal space (100A) of the main body (100).

[0088] In an exemplary embodiment, the lower protection plate (800) can be joined to the inner surface of the main body (100) via a Velcro connection. This allows the lower protection plate (800) to be easily installed or removed from the internal space (100A) of the main body (100), and cleaning or replacement can be easily performed as needed.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment, a lower protective plate (800) may be provided in the internal space (100A) of the pet bag (10) so as to effectively absorb impacts occurring on the sides and bottom of the pet bag (10), thereby improving the safety of the pet housed in the internal space (100A).

[0090] In an exemplary embodiment, the height of the uppermost part of the lower protection plate (800) may be substantially the same as the height of the side of the main body (100) to which the side of the cover (350) is attached. Accordingly, when the cover (350) of the pet bag (10) is detached, all inner sides of the inner space (100A) in which the pet is contained can be completely covered by the lower protection plate (800), thereby further increasing the safety and comfort of the pet.

[0091] The technical concept of the lower protective plate (800) of the present disclosure is explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 7 and FIGS. 8.

[0092] The pet bag (10) of the present disclosure may include a front protection plate (250) and a lower protection plate (800), configured to protect sensitive areas such as the patella of the pet, so that injuries that may occur while the pet is moving can be prevented.

[0093] In addition, the pet bag (10) of the present disclosure may include a mesh-type ventilation structure and a cover (350) that is detachable from the main body (100), so that air circulation inside the pet bag (10) can be smooth and a comfortable environment that minimizes stress on the pet can be provided.

[0094] In addition, the pet bag (10) of the present disclosure may include a space-expanding member that expands the internal space (100A), thereby increasing the space utilization of the pet bag, providing coziness to the pet, and ensuring user convenience.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, when the pet bag (10) is in an expanded state (i.e., the second front door (220) is open) and the front protection plate (250) is attached to the inner surface of the first front door (210), the internal space (100A) may be divided into two spaces by the front protection plate (250). One space may be a space provided by the main body (100), and the other space may be a space provided by the space expansion member (300). This structure provides an independent space for each animal when the pet bag (10) accommodates two pets simultaneously, thereby minimizing interference between them and enhancing comfort.

[0102] FIG. 7 is a drawing showing a pet bag (10) including a lower protective plate (800) according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 8 is a drawing showing a combined structure of the lower protective plate (800) according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0103] The lower protection plate (800) is placed in the internal space (100A) of the main body (100) and may be provided in a 'U' shape rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Additionally, the lower protection plate (800) may cover the bottom and inner surface of the main body (100) and may be coupled to the inner surface of the main body (100) through Velcro fastening.

[0104] The lower protection plate (800) may include a base protection portion (810) covering the bottom surface of the main body (100), and a side protection portion (830) that is bent from the base protection portion (810) and covers the inner surface of the main body (100).

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the side protection portion (830) may include an upper side Velcro (831) and a lower side Velcro (832) for connection with the inner surface of the main body (100). Additionally, the main body (100) may include an upper main body inner Velcro (833) provided on the inner surface and connected to the upper side Velcro (831), and a lower main body inner Velcro (835) connected to the lower side Velcro (832).

[0106] The lower protection plate (800) and the main body (100) of the present disclosure may adopt the aforementioned Velcro connection structure, thereby providing a robust connection between the lower protection plate (800) and the main body (100), and ensuring the stability and ease of use of the pet bag (10).

[0107] In an exemplary embodiment, the height of the uppermost part of the lower protection plate (800) may be substantially the same as the height of the side of the main body (100) to which the side of the cover (350) is attached. Accordingly, when the cover (350) of the pet bag (10) is detached, all inner sides of the inner space (100A) in which the pet is contained can be completely covered by the lower protection plate (800), thereby further increasing the safety and comfort of the pet.

[0108] FIG. 9 is a drawing showing the structure of a protective plate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0109] Referring to FIG. 9, the protective plate (840) of the present disclosure may be a plate comprising the aforementioned front protective plate (250) and lower protective plate (800). That is, the structure of the front protective plate (250) and lower protective plate (800) may adopt the structure of the protective plate (840) described with reference to FIG. 9.

[0110] The protective plate (840) of the present disclosure may include an upper layer (841) composed of memory foam comprising diatomaceous earth and polyurethane, and a lower layer (843) comprising polycarbonate. Additionally, the upper layer (841) and the lower layer (843) of the protective plate (840) may be compressed so that the protective plate (840) is provided as a multilayer compressed structure.

[0111] As the upper layer (841) is composed of memory foam including diatomaceous earth and polyurethane, the protective plate (840) may have the characteristic of slowly restoring to its original shape after compression. Additionally, due to its porous structure, diatomaceous earth can have a significant effect on moisture absorption and release, and the combination of the diatomaceous earth and the polyurethane provides a comfortable cushioning sensation to pets and contributes to internal humidity control, thereby maintaining a pleasant environment.

[0112] The lower layer (843) may include polycarbonate with excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, and weather resistance, thereby increasing the structural stability of the pet bag (10) and safely protecting the pet from external impacts.

[0113] FIG. 10 is a drawing showing a pet bag (10) including a side protection plate (910) according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0114] Referring to FIG. 10, the inner part of the main body (100) of the pet bag (10) may include an inner storage section (180) configured to open and close the inner storage space (100S) through Velcro connection. The inner storage section may be a space provided between a first side provided on the side of the main body (100) and a second side provided on the outside of the first side.

[0115] Additionally, a first side Velcro (183) may be provided on the first side, and a second side Velcro (193) that is coupled with the first side Velcro (183) may be provided on the second side. That is, the inner storage space (100S) of the inner storage portion may be opened and closed based on the Velcro coupling of the first side Velcro (183) and the second side Velcro (193).

[0116] Additionally, the side protection plate (910) may be a plate configured to protect a pet by being placed in the inner storage space (100S) of the inner storage section (180). The side protection plate (910) may be a plate provided on the outer side of the side protection portion (830) of the lower protection plate (800) to additionally protect the pet.

[0117] Generally, when a pet is placed in a pet carrier (10), the pet's head is often positioned toward the side of the pet carrier (10). In this situation, it is important to mitigate the impact occurring on the side of the pet carrier (10).

[0118] The pet bag (10) of the present disclosure may further include a side protection plate (910) housed in an inner storage space (100S) positioned outside the side protection portion (830), in addition to the side protection portion (830) of the lower protection plate (800), so that the pet bag (10) of the present disclosure can effectively absorb impacts occurring from the side and further enhance the safety of the pet.

[0119] The technical concept for the side protection plate (910) may overlap with the technical concept of the protection plate (840) with reference to FIG. 9, so details are omitted.

[0120] FIG. 11 is a drawing showing a pet bag (10) in use according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0121] Referring to FIG. 11, the space expansion member (300) may be configured to form a receiving space (300A) connected to an internal space (100A) through a receiving hole of the first front door (210) based on the opening of the second front door (220).

[0122] A pet bag (10) may include a space-expanding member (300) that expands the internal space (100A), so that the pet bag (10) of the present disclosure can provide a wider internal space for the pet. The structure enhances the comfort of the pet and provides flexibility for the user to adjust the size of the bag according to the situation.

[0123] Additionally, in the moving state of the pet bag (10), the aforementioned front protection plate (250) may be attached to the inner surface of the first front door (210) to block the receiving hole of the front protection plate (250). Additionally, in the expanded state of the pet bag (10), the front protection plate (250) may pass through the receiving hole of the first front door (210) and be placed on the second front door (220).

[0124] Two zippers for opening and closing the cover (350) may be provided. Specifically, the zippers for opening and closing the cover (350) may include a front zipper that separates or connects a part of the cover (350) from the front of the main body, and a rear zipper that separates or connects a part of the cover (350) from the rear of the main body. Depending on the situation, the user may selectively open or close only a specific part of the cover (350) using the zippers. Through this design, the pet bag (10) of the present disclosure can facilitate the entry and exit of the pet and provide a comfortable environment by controlling the ventilation of the internal space (100A).

[0125] In an exemplary embodiment, the cover (350) may be provided in a mesh type so that the interior of the receiving space (300A) is visible from the outside. As the cover (350) is provided in a mesh type, the condition of the pet can be easily checked, and air circulation within the interior space (100A) of the pet bag (10) can be facilitated, thereby providing a comfortable environment for the pet.

[0126] Additionally, a lower protective plate (800) can be provided in the internal space (100A) of the pet bag (10) to effectively absorb shocks occurring on the sides and bottom of the pet bag (10), thereby improving the safety of the pet housed in the internal space (100A).

[0127] In an exemplary embodiment, the height of the uppermost part of the lower protection plate (800) may be substantially the same as the height of the side of the main body (100) to which the side of the cover (350) is attached. Accordingly, when the cover (350) of the pet bag (10) is detached, all inner sides of the inner space (100A) in which the pet is contained can be completely covered by the lower protection plate (800), thereby further increasing the safety and comfort of the pet.

[0128] With the cover (350) of the pet bag (10) detached, all inner sides of the inner space (100A) in which the pet is accommodated can be completely covered by the lower protection plate (800), thereby further increasing the safety and comfort of the pet.

[0129] Additionally, the height of the uppermost part of the lower protection plate (800) may be substantially the same as the height of the side of the main body (100) to which the side of the cover (350) is joined, so that when a pet leans its head against the side of the main body (100), the height of the lower protection plate (800), the cover (350), and the side of the main body (100) are the same, thereby minimizing discomfort.

[0130] As described above, exemplary embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and specification. Although specific terms have been used to describe the embodiments in this specification, they are used only for the purpose of explaining the technical concept of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the meaning or the scope of this disclosure as defined in the claims.
