{An Removable multipurpose case for exclusive use of pet}

The present invention relates to a multipurpose pet box used by users who raise pets, and more specifically, to a detachable multipurpose pet box which can be detached/combined and used in a detachable form so that it can be combined with a pet stroller and used while being detached and used as a separate pet carrier or bag, and also can be used as a pet car seat when installed in a car by being connected to a seat belt. In particular, when combined with a pet stroller and used, the multipurpose box is structured so that the multipurpose box can be folded simultaneously with the stroller during the folding process, thereby maximizing the convenience of use, and also enabling the upper cover part of the multipurpose box to be detachably replaced and changed from the main body to be used, so that the upper cover part can be replaced and used according to various purposes, such as when used with a pet stroller or as a pet carrier.

Recently, due to the increase in single-person households and the aging population, the number of households with pets such as dogs or cats is increasing in order to obtain emotional comfort through communication with companion animals.

Accordingly, the frequency of using carriers to transport pets when traveling or moving with pets raised at home is increasing, and the frequency of using boxes to safely position pets and attach seat belts when putting them in a vehicle is also increasing, and the frequency of using pet strollers when walking injured or elderly pets is also increasing.

However, if you have to purchase each and every pet carrier or vehicle box separately, not only will there be the financial burden of purchasing the equipment, but there will also be various inconveniences in storing and using the equipment since separate equipment must be used for each case, which will result in you not using the equipment anymore, which will reduce the time you can spend with your pet, and it will also have a negative impact on your pet's safety.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a detachable pet-only multipurpose box according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. It should be noted that the same components are represented by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings as much as possible. Unless otherwise defined, all terms in this specification have the same general meaning as those terms understood by a person skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and if there is a conflict with the meaning of a term used in this specification, the definitions used in this specification shall apply. Throughout the specification, when a part is said to "include" a certain component, this does not mean that other components are excluded, but rather that other components can be further included, unless otherwise specifically stated.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, a detachable pet-only multipurpose box according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main body (10) that forms a space capable of accommodating a pet inside; and a cover part (30) that is detachably connected to the main body (10) and can be replaced and used according to the intended purpose; and the main body (10) includes an upper frame (110) that forms an upper skeleton of the main body (10), a lower frame (120) that forms a lower skeleton of the main body (10), and a side frame (130) that has a structure that is variably folded while connecting the upper frame (110) and the lower frame (120), so that the pet-only multipurpose box can be variably unfolded or folded according to the usage environment.

As mentioned above as a problem, the frequency of using carriers to transport pets when traveling or moving with pets raised at home is increasing, and the frequency of using boxes (pet-specific car seats, etc.) that can safely position pets and attach seat belts when putting them in a vehicle is also increasing, and the frequency of using pet strollers, etc. that are used when walking injured or elderly pets is also increasing. On the other hand, if pet carriers, car boxes for pets, and pet strollers, etc. must be individually purchased, there is not only the cost burden of purchasing the equipment, but also various inconveniences in storing and using the equipment due to the need to use separate equipment for each case, and as a result, the equipment is not used even more, which reduces the time spent with the pet, and also has a negative impact on the safety of the pet, and a vicious cycle is repeated. Therefore, in the present invention, a single multipurpose box can be used in a detachable/combined form, so that it can be used by combining it with a pet-specific stroller. However, by providing a detachable pet-only multipurpose box that can be used as a separate pet-only carrier or bag when separated, and can also be used as a pet-only car seat when installed in a car by connecting to a seat belt, it is possible to separate/combine and detachably use a single multipurpose box for various customized purposes.

To this end, the detachable pet-only multipurpose box according to the present invention, with reference to FIG. 1 and the like, comprises a main body (10) forming a space capable of accommodating a pet inside its basic structure; and a cover (30) detachably connected to the main body (10) and interchangeably used according to the intended purpose; configured in a separate form so that the main body (10) and the cover (30) can be combined and separated for use as needed, and the cover (30) can be changed into various cover parts depending on the intended use (i.e., when used as a stroller, the cover can be changed to a cover for blocking sunlight, and when used as a carrier, the cover can be changed to a cover for closing the top, etc.).

First, the main body (10) is a basic configuration of the multipurpose device of the present invention, and is a configuration that forms a space in which a companion animal can be accommodated inside. In particular, the present invention is characterized in that the main body (10) is formed to have a simple yet sturdy structure in the form of a frame, while allowing the main body (10) to be variably unfolded or folded as needed. To this end, the main body (10) may be formed to include a structure that includes an upper frame (110) that forms the upper skeleton of the main body, a lower frame (120) that forms the lower skeleton of the main body, and a side frame (130) that connects the upper frame (110) and the lower frame (120) and has a structure that variably folds.

The upper frame (110) above is a frame skeleton structure that forms the upper skeleton of the main body, and can be formed as a lightweight frame structure, and can be formed in various shapes (circular, square, etc.) depending on the shape of the multipurpose main body.

The lower frame (120) above is a frame skeleton structure that forms the lower skeleton of the main body. Normally, the upper frame (110) and the lower frame (120) are formed in a symmetrical shape, so the shape of the lower frame (120) can be formed in various shapes (circle, square, etc.) following the shape of the upper frame (110). The skeleton of the main body (10) is formed through a combination of the upper frame (110), the lower frame (120), and the side frame (130) described later. If the skeleton of the main body (10) is wrapped with a material such as a synthetic resin material based on the skeleton formed in this way, a main body (10) that forms a space that can accommodate a companion animal inside can be formed.

The side frame (130) has a frame skeleton configuration that has a structure that can be variably folded while connecting the upper frame (110) and the lower frame (120), that is, the side frame (130) has a structure that can be fixed or variably folded as needed while connecting the upper frame (110) and the lower frame (120), so that when (the main body (10)) is not in use, the side frame (130) can be folded to the extent that the upper frame (110) and the lower frame (120) come into contact, so that the main body (10) can be folded and stored easily, and conversely, when (the main body (10)) is in use, the side frame (130) can be unfolded so that the upper frame (110) and the lower frame (120) are as far apart as possible, so that the main body (10) can be unfolded and used so that it can secure the maximum space inside. In particular, in this structure, it is important to have a structure in which the side frame (130) does not cross or invade the internal space of the main body (10). That is, in the case where the side frame in the shape of the letter 'ㄷ' crosses the internal space of the main body (10) and separates the upper frame and the lower frame, or the main body is folded to the extent that the upper frame and the lower frame touch, not only may the activities of a companion dog, etc. in the internal space be restricted due to the side frame crossing or encroaching the internal space of the main body, but also the functionality of reinforcing (reinforcing) the side portion of the main body (10) itself may be weakened. Therefore, in order to have a structure in which the side frame (130) of the present invention does not cross or invade the internal space of the main body (10), the side frame (130) has a structure that is folded only at the side of the main body (10). As an example for this, the side frames (130) are formed as a pair facing each other at both sides of the main body (10) to perform the function of reinforcing both sides of the main body (10). The first frame (131) and the second frame (132), which are connected to the upper frame (110) at one side and the lower frame (120) at the other side, intersect in an 'X' shape, and the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134), which are connected to the first frame (131) and the second frame (132), are connected at the point where the first frame (131) and the second frame (132) intersect in an 'X' shape, respectively. During the process in which the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) rotate, one side of the first frame (131) and/or the other side of the second frame (132) can be variably folded while sliding along the upper frame (110) and/or the lower frame (120), respectively. In this structure, the side frame (130) can reinforce and strengthen only both sides of the main body (10) without invading the internal space of the main body (10), thereby performing the function of more safely protecting companion dogs, etc., inside the main body (10) when used as a pet stroller or automobile car seat.

The above first frame (131) is configured to form the main skeleton of the side frame (130) that intersects in an 'X' shape, with one side joined to the upper frame (110) and the other side joined to the lower frame (120), and intersects with the second frame (132) described below in an 'X' shape to form the side frame (130).

The second frame (132) above is also configured to form the main skeleton of the side frames (130) that intersect in an 'X' shape, with one side joined to the upper frame (110) and the other side joined to the lower frame (120), while intersecting with the first frame (131) in an 'X' shape to form the side frame (130). That is, when the first frame (131) and the second frame (132) intersect in an 'X' shape and almost touch each other, the upper frame (110) and the lower frame (120) touch each other to that extent, so that the main body (10) can be folded and used. Conversely, when the first frame (131) and the second frame (132) intersect in an 'X' shape and are separated from each other as much as possible, the upper frame (110) and the lower frame (120) can be separated as much as possible, so that the main body (10) can be used by unfolding it.

The first rotation frame (133) is configured to be connected to the first frame (131) at the point where the first frame (131) and the second frame (132) intersect in an 'X' shape together with the second rotation frame (134) to be described later, thereby allowing the first frame (131) to rotate, and the second rotation frame (134) is also configured to be connected to the second frame (132) at the point where the first frame (131) and the second frame (132) intersect in an 'X' shape together with the first rotation frame (133), thereby allowing the second frame (132) to rotate. When the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) are mutually coupled at the point where the first frame (131) and the second frame (132) intersect in an 'X' shape, the rotation or fixation between the first frame (131) and the second frame (132) is controlled. That is, the rotation or fixation between the first frame (131) and the second frame (132) is controlled by the activation or deactivation control of the joint portion between the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134). To this end, the operation of the side frame (130), more specifically, the operation of the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134), can be conveniently controlled by the user in a one-touch manner. As an example for this, a button control unit (135) controlled in a one-touch manner by the user is included on one side of the joint portion where the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) are joined, and a separate rotation control unit (not shown) is activated on the surface where the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) are engaged by the operation of the button control unit (135), thereby causing the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) to be conveniently controlled in a one-touch manner. The rotation of the second rotation frame (134) may be restricted or the rotation control unit (not shown) may be deactivated to allow the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) to rotate.

The above button control unit (135) is configured to enable control of the operation (or function) between the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) to be performed in a one-touch manner. As described later, by the operation of the button control unit (135), a rotation control unit (not shown) separately formed on the surface where the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) are engaged can be activated or deactivated.

The above rotation control unit (not shown) is configured to control whether the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) are activated (active or inactive) by being separately formed on the surface where the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) are engaged. For example, if the rotation control unit (not shown) protrudes on the surface where the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) are engaged, the two are fixed around the interlocking surface and do not rotate (i.e., the rotation control unit (not shown) is activated and the rotation of the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) is restricted), or conversely, if the rotation control unit (not shown) does not protrude on the surface where the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) are engaged, the two rotate smoothly around the interlocking surface (i.e., the rotation control unit (not shown) When deactivated, the first rotation frame (133) and the second rotation frame (134) can rotate with each other.

Meanwhile, the operation of the side frame (130) (or control over the operation) can be formed so that the operation process can be performed in a one-touch form. In particular, when combined with a pet stroller and used, the structure can be applied so that the multipurpose box can be folded simultaneously during the folding process of the stroller, thereby maximizing the convenience of use. That is, when combining a multipurpose box with a pet stroller and using it, if the user touches the button control unit (135) to operate the button control unit (135) and deactivates the rotation control unit (not shown) while executing the folding process of the pet stroller, the multipurpose box main body (10) also folds in conjunction during the folding process of the pet stroller, thereby maximizing the convenience of use.

Meanwhile, the main body of the detachable pet-only multipurpose box according to the present invention additionally includes a connecting portion (136) capable of connecting a shoulder strap centered on the side of the main body (10) or a connecting portion (136) capable of connecting a vehicle seat belt, so that when the shoulder strap is connected to the multipurpose box of the present invention, it can be used as a bag that can be carried on the shoulder after containing the pet inside, or in the case where the pet needs to be carried in a car, it can be used in various ways as a pet-only car seat by placing the multipurpose box on the seat and connecting it with the seat belt.

That is, the configuration of the connecting portion (136) separately formed on the side of the main body (10) of the multipurpose device of the present invention is configured to allow the user to attach a separate shoulder strap or to attach a seat belt when using the device as a car seat in a vehicle, thereby enabling the multipurpose device of the present invention to be used conveniently and safely when used as a pet bag or a pet car seat.

Meanwhile, the cover part (30) is configured to be detachably connected to the main body part (10) and can be replaced and used according to the intended purpose. For example, when the multipurpose box of the present invention is used in combination with a pet stroller, the cover part (30) may be a cover part (30) in the form of a sunshade for blocking sunlight, or when the multipurpose box of the present invention is used as a pet car seat, the cover part (30) may be a cover part (30) in the form of a blocking screen for preventing a companion dog or the like contained within the main body part (10) from easily coming out of the multipurpose box.

To this end, in order to detach/attach between the main body (10) and the cover (30), a structure is applied that allows the frame of the main body (10) and the frame of the cover (30) to be detached in a one-touch manner, so that various types of cover (30) can be easily and conveniently replaced and used as needed.

Meanwhile, a structure for attaching and detaching a separate reinforcing frame (140) in a one-touch manner is additionally applied to the lower part of the main body (10), thereby providing a multipurpose pet box that adopts a lightweight yet durable structure through the application of a structure that allows a separate reinforcing frame (140) to be detachably attached as needed to the bottom of the multipurpose box along with the application of a simple yet sturdy frame structure of the main body (10), thereby ensuring sufficient durability suitable for the purpose even when used for various purposes.

In the above, the applicant has described various embodiments of the present invention, but such embodiments are only examples for implementing the technical idea of the present invention, and any change or modification examples that implement the technical idea of the present invention should be interpreted as falling within the scope of the present invention.
