Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a body-worn structure, and more particularly to a structure that uses a support enclosure or a jacket body with combined multiple functions to facilitate the user in meeting the various different needs for outdoor activities.


(b) Description of the Prior Art

In reference to Taiwan Patent Application No. 101118884 (Certification No. 1577309), that applies embodiments of a flexible enclosure 3 for pets, wherein its primary concept is similar to that of the embodiments of the present invention applied to pets, both applying a body-worn structure for pets, see FIGS. 1 to 4, wherein the flexible enclosure 3 is applied for use as a covering on a pet, hence, during the rainy season or unsettled weather when it unexpectedly rains, the flexible enclosure 3 can be conveniently used to protect the pet against rain whenever necessary, thus preventing the pet from catching a cold due to getting soaked by the rain.


The primary structure uses a male snap 161 and a female snap 162 to respectively join to the left and right sides of a front cover sheet 1. When in use, the male snap 161 and the female snap 162 are used to mutually secure fixing of the front cover sheet 1 and a rear cover sheet 2, thereby securely fixing the clothing onto the pet's body. The upper portion of the rear cover sheet 2 is provided with a holding portion 4, which facilitates the user to use to place pet paraphernalia therein, such as: plastic bags and related supplies for cleaning up pet droppings. The flexible enclosure 3 (covering) is joined between the front cover sheet 1 and the rear cover sheet 2, thus, when its raining, the user can use the flexible enclosure 3 (covering) to cover the pet's body (see FIG. 3). Furthermore, the front portions of the front cover sheet 1 and the rear cover sheet 2 are provided with an annular belt 165, an adjustment piece 166, and a pair of male/female buckles 167 (168). The adjustment piece 166 is used to adjust the length of the annular belt 165, accordingly, facilitating slipping the annular belt 165 onto a pet. The pair of male/female buckles 167 (168) are also used to securely fix the annular belt 165. The joining area where the upper portion of the annular belt 165 is joined to the edges of the front and rear cover sheets 1 (2) is provided with a fixing ring 169, which is used to enable the user to hook and fasten a pull rope 171 provided with a hook ring 170 thereto, with the pull rope 171 being used to control the pet when walking.


The primary shortcomings of the flexible enclosure 3 as described above applied for use as a covering structure on the pet are as follows:



custom character1custom character. The annular belt 165 does not disclose the component force structure related to dispersing the pulling force of the pull rope 171. When the pet suddenly dashes forward forcing the user to pull on the pull rope 171 to oppose and stop such action, if there is only the simple structure comprising the annular belt 165 slipped around the pet, when the hook ring 170 is hooked and fastened to the fixing ring 169, and the pulling force of the pull rope 171 is directly applied to the annular belt 165, then it easily results in uncomfortable constriction of the pet's neck, and could even cause injury to the pet.



custom character2custom character. When the user covers the flexible enclosure 3 (covering) onto the pet's body as protection against wind and rain, the flexible enclosure 3 (covering) does not disclose a design related to rainproofing a though hole, which would facilitate the fixing ring 169 to pass therethrough to enable the hook ring 170 of the pull rope 171 to hook and fasten thereto.



custom character3custom character. When the user covers the flexible enclosure 3 (covering) onto the pet's body as protection against wind and rain, the flexible enclosure 3 (covering) does not disclose a design related to a fixing device that would facilitate securely fixing the unfolded flexible enclosure 3 (covering) onto the pet's body, accordingly, preventing the flexible enclosure 3 (covering) from being blown open during strong winds and heavy rain.



custom character4custom character. Because a containing port 301 is confined to a position on the underside of the pet's body (as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 1), hence, when the user opens the rear cover sheet 2 to use the flexible enclosure 3 (covering) and covers the pet's body therewith, because the rear cover sheet 2 is positioned on a lower portion of the flexible enclosure 3 (covering), a cover assembly 21 and a cover piece 11 cannot be used to close up the rear cover sheet 2 and the front cover sheet 1. Accordingly, the user must dispose the opened rear cover sheet 2 together with the holding portion 4 provided on the upper portion thereof through the containing port 301, causing the rear cover sheet 2 to be retained in a containing space 30 between the front cover sheet 1 and the flexible enclosure 3 (covering) (as shown in FIG. 2). When many articles are placed within the holding portion 4, disposing articles through the containing port 301 becomes difficult; moreover, the handling procedure is somewhat complex, and is not essential. However, contents of the prior art do not disclose how to prevent this complicated handling procedure in actual use.


In addition, in reference to a sixth embodiment of the prior art, wherein the containing structure for the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag) is applied to pets, as depicted in FIGS. 4 to 6, whereby the sixth embodiment primarily comprises the front cover sheet 1, the rear cover sheet 2, the cover piece 11 provided on the peripheral edge of the front cover sheet 1, the cover assembly 21 provided on the peripheral edge of the rear cover sheet 2, and the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag). The open/close direction of the cover piece 11 and the cover assembly 21 is positioned corresponding to the pet's head. An extension portion 132 is used to retain the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag) after folding between the front cover sheet 1 and the rear cover sheet 2, wherein the left and right sides of the front cover sheet 1 are respectively joined to the male snap 161 and the female snap 162. When a pet is wearing the clothing, the rear cover sheet 2 is below and the front cover sheet 1 is on top so as to be positionally aligned relative to the pet's body. Mutual connection between the male snap 161 and the female snap 162 is used to dress and securely fix the front and rear cover sheets 1(2) onto the pet's body; moreover, the upper portion of the front cover sheet 1 is provided with the holding portion 4, which facilitates the user to use the holding portion 4 to place pet paraphernalia therein, such as: plastic bags and related supplies related for cleaning up pet droppings. When in use, the cover piece 11 and the cover assembly 21 are used to open up the rear cover sheet 2, and after opening up the rear cover sheet 2 and unfolding the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag), the user can choose to use the cover assembly 21 and the cover piece 11 to partially close the rear cover sheet 2 and the front cover sheet 1 or fit the opened rear cover sheet 2 into the containing space 30 provided by the front cover sheet 1 through the containing port 301 (as shown in FIG. 5). After unfolding the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag), an opening 40 is correspondingly positioned at the pet's lower portion, and a pet can be upwardly fitted into the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag) through the opening 40, then a carrying handle 31 can be used to hand carry the pet or carry the pet on the shoulder by means of the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag).


The primary shortcomings of the flexible enclosure 3 as described above applied for use as a pet carrier bag structure are as follows:



custom character1custom character. Because the open/close direction of the cover piece 11 and the cover assembly 21 is positioned corresponding to the pet's head, hence, when the user opens up the rear cover sheet 2 to use the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag), the user must use the extension portion 132 to take out the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag). The extension portion 132 is a long fabric strip shape joined between the rear cover sheet 2 and the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag), and the fabric strip of the extension portion 132 must be of a predetermined length in order to facilitate the user to manipulate taking out the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag) and fit a pet inside the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag), or, after no longer needing to use the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag), folding up the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag) and returning it to a retaining space 20 between the front cover sheet 1 and the rear cover sheet 2. Accordingly, during the process of taking out and putting back, phenomena resulting in the fabric strip of predetermined length of the extension portion 132 curling up or turning inside out easily occur that hindrance manipulation thereof. However, contents of the prior art do not disclose a structure that prevents the aforementioned phenomena in actual use.



custom character2custom character. Because the open/close direction of the cover piece 11 and the cover assembly 21 is positioned corresponding to the pet's head, after opening up the front cover sheet 1 and unfolding the flexible enclosure 3 (pet carrier bag), slight awkwardness is apparent in the front cover sheet 1 because it is necessary to choose to use the cover piece 11 and the cover assembly 21 to partially close up the front cover sheet 1 and the rear cover sheet 2, or dispose the opened up front cover sheet 1 within the retaining space 20 provided by the rear cover sheet 2 through the containing port 301. However, contents of the prior art do not disclose a structure that prevents the aforementioned phenomenon in actual use.



custom character3custom character. When the user wishes to concurrently retain the functions of a flexible enclosure applied as a covering that protects the pet against wind and rain and apply the flexible enclosure as a pet carrier bag or as a function for hand carrying the pet, contents of the prior art do not disclose a structure that preserves the aforementioned phenomena in actual use.


Apart from the shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art related to the flexible enclosures applied in a covering and a pet carrier bag, a conventional droppings collector for pet use is also available in the market, which primarily comprises a holding device that is clipped onto a dog's tail, and a paper bag or a plastic bag is concurrently securely fixed to the holding device corresponding to the position of the dog's anus to receive droppings, whereby, when the dog is defecating and discharging the droppings onto the floor, the droppings collector can prevent not only impacting environmental sanitation but also troubling the pet owner to clean up the excrement. Because the aforementioned conventional holding device needs to be firmly clipped onto the dog's tail, apart from causing discomfort to the dog, when the dog is wagging its tail, the paper bag or a plastic bag used to receive the dog droppings will at the same time swing along with the wagging tail, thus affecting use effectiveness and degree of difficulty in use. Furthermore, the structure of the holding device can only be applied to long tailed dogs, meaning the holding device cannot be used on other short-tailed or tailless dogs, and is thus extremely unideal.


Apart from applying embodiments of the flexible enclosure for pets, the present invention can also apply a structure using the same principle for the flexible enclosure to cover a variety of target subjects, including people and other animals. Moreover, apart from the above-described covering body and pet carrier bag having waterproof and windproof functions, the application range of the flexible enclosure further includes application in body protective devices for either protective clothing, hollow sphere, hollow airbag, or airbag clothing.


In view of the above shortcomings, the applicant, having accumulated many years of experience in related arts, and following continuous research and experimentation, finally succeeded in producing a new and improved containing structure able to achieve the objective of combining multiple functions, which can also further variably apply the flexible enclosure structure in products such as a pet covering and a pet carrier bag.

Based on the aforementioned characteristics of the primary structure, apart from the aforementioned covering entirely covering the aligned front cover sheet and the rear cover sheet as well as the upper portion of the small carrier bag formed by the holding portion, during use, the user can choose to dispose the rear cover sheet and the small carrier bag formed by the holding portion into a containing space formed between the front cover sheet and the covering because the third joining edge and the first joining edge adopt a partial joiningway, and the unconnected area forms a containing port. When the flexible enclosure is in an unfolded state, the containing port is used to dispose the rear cover sheet within the containing space between the front cover sheet and the flexible enclosure. On the other hand, when it is desired to contain the folded flexible enclosure inside the containing space, the user can take out the rear cover sheet from the containing space through the containing port, and close up the rear cover sheet and the front cover sheet using the cover piece and the cover assembly.


Based on the aforementioned characteristics of the primary structure, the front cover sheet is further provided with a side surround, and the side surround uses a fourth joining edge and a fifth joining edge to respectively join to the third joining edge of the flexible enclosure and the first joining edge of the front cover sheet, thereby enlarging the capacity within the containing space, accordingly, achieving the effectiveness of easily containing the rear cover sheet and the small carrier bag.


Based on the aforementioned characteristics of the primary structure, the covering comprises a forepart, one side of which is provided with a second fastening portion, and another side is provided with a second fastening assembly portion corresponding to the second fastening portion. The second fastening portion and the second fastening assembly portion are mutually joined to enable covering and securely fixing the covering to the chest position of a pet.
