专利摘要:
Various embodiments o f the invention provide a collapsible dog basket which solves the abovementioned problems. In one aspect, this is achieved by a collapsible dog basket comprising hottom and side walls made o f plastic, wherein the dog basket comprises at least one flexible bendable joint around which flexiblebendable joint at leastapart o f said hottom andfor side walls are folded such that said dog basket has a collapsed position wherein at least a part of said bendable joint is made o f a flexible plastic materlal being more flexible than the remairung part o f said dog basket and wherein the sidewalis o f said dog basket are directly connected and when collapsing said dog basket, said hottom is pressed upwards between said side walls. The bendable joint is constructed of a more tlexible plastic materlal than the remaining part ofthe dog basket, thus improving the stability of the dogs basket' s side walls and bottom, and the bendable joint can therefore be designed to have the same dimensions as the remaining part of basket and thus be more resistant to ·vvear. The aesthetic look o f the dog basket is al so improved as the dog basket looks like a regular dog basket. The dog basket is curved on one-hand side. This will allow a easier entrance for the dog. The hottom is also made with thin (5mm) air-circulation-holes. This preventing the heat from the dogs body to harm the floor-surface/carpet. The holes also gives the dog a air-circulation inside the basket while resting. It is further achieved that the volume ancl/or surface area ofthe collapsible dog basket is reduced when having a collapsed position and the coHapsible dog basket may be collapsed and unfolded many times without tearing. This entails that the dog basket takes up less space and thus is easier to store and transport.

Collapsible dogs basket BACKGROUND 0001 A dogs basket typically takes up a lot of space in the house/apartment, guesthouse and summerhouse. And Especially when traveling. Either the basket is made of wood or plastic or like a big pillow, all takes up much space because it can not be folded and stowed away. 0002 All pet dogs have their own sleeping area in peoples houses/apartments. This basket is the dogs domain and the dog need this area during the day and nighttime. The basket will deliver the necessary feeling of safety for the dog. A dog bed comprising a first resting place for a dog which resting place is arranged in a housing comprising a bottom plate and having walls and being closed on all sides with the exception of a section comprising an entrance for the dog. 0003 This dogs basket is made of plastic and it is fordable. This gives the family the opportunity to easily bring the dogs bed, when you are moving around in the house or are traveling, visiting. Now you can bring it's own sleeping domain no matter where you go. 0004 Tliis basket is very easy to clean all made of plastic and can go strait into the shower for a wash. The basket folds down and the mattress is fordable too. The two component plastic mold makes it very easy to fold down. The folding lines is made of a soft plastic material, this material gives the basket a nonslip function when it is in use. The basket have a bottom place witch will fold up inside the sides, this bottom place will have some holes to secure some air circulation into the basket, when the dog is sleeping. The mattress is also made in air circulated material. This dogs basket is a basket that will give the dog all the normal comfort, but the possibility- to fold the basket and bring it with you this easy way......is new. A fold-up plastic dogs basket for big dogs is normally made of linen or metal, here we do it easily in 2 component plastic, this is light, easy to clean and good for recycling. Good for small and bigger dogs. The basket have air-circulations-holes in the bottom of the bottom-plate. This allows the body-heat from the dog to get out from the basket and this without damaging the carpet/surface. The air-circulations holes also bring the temperature inside the basket to a more constant level. The basket fits easy into a car or on the bike if you are traveling. The basket comes with a small bag to fold it into. DETAILED DESCRIPTION 0006 FIG. 1 shows a collapsible dog basket (101) according to one embodiment of the invention in an unfolded position. The dog basket comprises a bottom (102) and four side walls (103a, 103d, 103c, 103d). The dog basket further comprises flexible bottom bendable joints (104) around which a part of the bottom is folded and flexible side bendable joints (105) around which some of the side wails are folded, and in addition the edges of the dog basket are constructed as flexible edge bendable joints (106) around which two different side walls may be folded. FIG. 2 shows the collapsible dog basket in a semi-collapsed position and illustrates that the bottom (102) is folded around the flexible bottom bendable joints ¢104) such that a part of the bottom is lifted between the side walls (103a and 103e) simultaneously with the side walls (1036) and (103c ) being folded around the flexible side wall bendable joints (105), and simultaneously with the flexible edge bendable joints being folded (106) such that the side walls (1036) and (103^0 are folded in between the side walls (103a) and (103c). FIG. 3 shows the dog basket in a collapsed position and illustrates how the side walls (103a) and (103c) and the bottom (102) are positioned in between the side walls (1036) and (103c ) when the basket is in a collapsed position. The position of the bottom between the side walls (103a) and (103c) are illustrated by way of dotted lines (301). The result is that the dog basket takes up a lot less space when being collapsed than when being unfolded. FIG. 4 illustrates the dog basket in an unfolded position and seen from above. The position of the flexible bottom bendable joints (104) is shown such that bottom bendable joints adapted for bending the bottom parts upwards (out of the page) are illustrated by dotted lines (104a), and bottom bendable joints adapted for bending the bottom parts downwards (into the page) are illustrated by dashed lines (1046). This position of the bottom bendable joints results in the fact that the triangles ABC and EGH may be folded up around bottom bendable joint BD and HF, respectively, when the bottom bendable joints AB, BC, BH, HE and HG are folded up. The result is that the bottom parts may be lifted to upright position such that trapezes ABHE and CBHG are positioned substantially parallel relative to one another in an upright position, while die triangles ABC and EGH are folded up and in between the outer part of the two trapezes. The length of the bottom bendable joints DB and HF is in this embodiment adapted to equal half die width of the dog basket as this makes the side walls (1036), (103c ) and the bottom fordable in between the side wails (103a) and (103c). If the length of the bendable joints DB and HF is longer than half the width of the basket, a part of the bottom will project from die side walls (103a) and (103c), while a part of the side walls (1036) and (103c/) will project from the sides (103a) and (103c) if the bendable joints DB and HF are shorter than half the width of the basket. FIG. 5 shows the basket in a collapsed position and seen from the side. The inner structures of the bottom are illustrated by way of dotted lines. The dotted lines illustrate that the side walls (103c) and (1036) are folded in between the two trapezes. FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of a bendable joint and shows a cross-sectional view of the bendable joint in an unfolded (FIG. 6a) and bended position (FIG. 66). The dog basket is this embodiment molded in plastic, and the bendable joint is constructed by molding it in flexible plastic (601) which makes it possible to fold up the surrounding side walls (602) as shown in FIG. 66. This is for instance achieved by adding softeners to the part of the plastic which is used to mold the bendable joints or by using more flexible plastic material for the flexible joints than for the remaining part of the flexible basket. In another embodiment the basket is molded in polystyrene, and the bendable joints are constructed by foaming the plastic, which constitutes the bendable joints, to a greater extent than the plastic in the remaining part of the basket. It is hereby achieved that the plastic, which constitutes the bendable joints, is more flexible than the rest of the basket. The bendable part could for instance be constructed by plastic materials such as Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) which is a family of polymers that can be repeatedly stretched without permanently deforming the shape of the part. Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) may be processed by conventional thermoplastic techniques such as injection molding, extrusion and blow molding. The TPEs could for instance be chosen from the following groups: styrenic block co-polymers, polyolefin blends (TPOs), elastomeric alloys, thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs), thermoplastic copolyesters and thermoplastic polyamides. The remaining part of the basket could for instance be made of a plastic material such as polypropylene co polymers (PP-CO). i.e. a type of polypropylene in which the basic structure of the polymer chain has been modified by the incorporation of a different monomer molecule. FIG 7a+b The dog basket is this embodiment molded in plastic, and the bendable joint is constructed by molding it in flexible plastic (601) which makes it possible to fold up the surrounding side walls (602) as shown in FIG. 6b. FIG. 8 illustrates;The air-circulations-holes at the bottom of the basket (120) are making sure that the temperature inside the basket stays right. The holes are 5 mm big and they prevent the dogs body-heat to influence on the floor surface. FIG, 8A Illustrates the flexi basket seen from the end side.(1502b+1501a+1501d) shows the folding lines (TPE or other soft plastic material) FIG. 9 illustrates another embodiment of a bendable joint and shows a cross-sectional view of the bendable joint in an unfolded position (FIG. 9a) and in a bended position (FIG. 9b). The bendable joint (901) is in this embodiment constructed by an oblong flexible material such as for instance silicone, rubber, flexible plastic or the like which is attached between two side walls (902). The oblong flexible material is bendable and the side walls are thus folded up as shown in FIG. 9b. This type of bendable joints may for instance be constructed by gluing the two side walls together by flexible silicone or rubber.
