DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Refer to FIG. 1-4, a pet carrier stroller according to the present invention mainly includes a seat cushion 1, a pet carrier bag 2, and a stroller 3.
As shown in FIG. 1, the seat cushion 1 consists of a pad body 11, two support rods 12 projecting from one side of the pad body 11, and a seat cushion cover 13. The support rod 12 is composed of an assembly portion 121 disposed on the pad body 11, a working rod 122 having one end pivotally connected to the assembly portion 121, an anchor member 123 arranged at the other end of the working rod 122, and an operating member 124 mounted to a lateral surface of the working rod 122 for control of on/off of the anchor member 123 and by which the anchor member 123 is linked and actuated. The pad body 11 is enclosed in the seat cushion cover 13 which includes two through holes 131 on one side thereof and at least one first connecting member 132 disposed around an upper end thereof. The two support rods 12 are protruding from the two through holes 131 of the seat cushion cover 13 correspondingly.
Refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the pet carrier bag 2 is mounted on the seat cushion cover 13 of the seat cushion 1 and provided with at least one second connecting member 21 which is arranged at a periphery of a bottom end of the pet carrier bag 2 and connected with the first connecting member 132 on the upper end of the seat cushion cover 13. The first connecting member 132 and the second connecting member 21 can be zippers, hook-and-loop fasteners, or male and female interlocking elements (a snap fastener).
Refer to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, the stroller 3 is composed of a front-wheel support 31, a rear-wheel support 32, at least one wheel 33 arranged at both left and right sides of a bottom end of the front-wheel support 31 and the rear-wheel support 32, at least one object receiving portion 34 arranged adjacent to and above both the bottom end of the front-wheel support 31 and the bottom end of the rear-wheel support 32, a handle support 35 disposed between the front-wheel support 31 and the rear-wheel support 32, and a mounting frame 38 arranged over the front-wheel support 31 and the rear-wheel support 32. The front-wheel support 31 and the rear-wheel support 32 are disposed obliquely and opposite to each other. A first pivot 361 is mounted to a bottom end of both left and right sides of the handle support 35 while a second pivot 362 is arranged at left and right sides of a top end of the front-wheel support 31. The two first pivots 361 are pivotally connected with the two second pivots 362 correspondingly. A left side and a right side of a top end of the rear-wheel support 32 and the left side and the right side of the handle support 35 are connected by two first connection parts 371 correspondingly. The mounting frame 38 consists of two frames 381 arranged at a front side and a rear side of the pet carrier stroller correspondingly and opposite to each other, and two fastening portions 382 disposed on a rear side of the rear-side frame 381. An intersection of rear ends of left and right sides of the two frames 381 is pivotally connected with the respective second pivots 362 arranged at the top end of the front-wheel support 31 correspondingly. A second connection part 372 is pivotally connected with the left side of the front-wheel support 31 and left right side of the rear-wheel support 32 as well as the right side of the front-wheel support 31 and the right side of the rear-wheel support 32 and located under the handle support 35. The left and right sides of the front-side frame 381 and the two second connection parts 372 are pivotally connected with two third connection parts 373 correspondingly.
While in use, the pet carrier bag 2 is disposed on the seat cushion cover 13 of the seat cushion 1 and the second connecting member 21 on the periphery of the bottom end of the pet carrier bag 2 is connected with the first connecting member 132 on the upper end of the seat cushion cover 13. Then at least one pet such as a cat or a dog is placed into the pet carrier bag 2.
Refer to FIG. 6, when users intend to carry their pets with them for a walk or shopping by the stroller 3, the seat cushion 1 together with the pet carrier bag 2 having the pet therein is disposed on the mounting frame 38 of the stroller 3. Then the anchor members 123 of the two support rods 12 of the seat cushion 1 are connected and fastened with the two fastening portions 382 on the rear-side frame 381 of the mounting frame 38 correspondingly to connect the seat cushion 1 with the mounting frame 38 of the stroller 3 firmly. Moreover, a bag 4 for mounting pet supplies is arranged at the object receiving portions 34 adjacent to the bottom ends of the front-wheel support 31 and the rear-wheel support 32. Thereby the user can hold the handle support 35 of the stroller 3 by his/her hands for pushing the stroller 3 to move. Since the seat cushion 1 and the stroller 3 are connected firmly, the pet carrier bag 2 connected with the seat cushion 1 is also arranged at the stroller 3 stably, without shaking, sliding on the stroller 3, or even falling down from the stroller 3. Therefore, the safety of pets sitting in the stroller 3 is improved.
The user can also carry the seat cushion 1 together with the pet carrier bag 2 having the pet therein by their hands without using the stroller 3. Refer to FIG. 7, the working rods 122 of the two support rods 12 of the seat cushion 1 are folded inward to be against one side of the seat cushion 1 for reducing space occupied by the seat cushion 1. Thereby the user can carry the seat cushion 1 together with the pet carrier bag 2 more conveniently. As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, when the stroller 3 is not in use, the handle support 35 of the stroller 3 is folded back down and the rear-wheel support 32 pivotally connected with the handle support 35 is also driven to move forward. Thus the front-wheel support 31, the rear-wheel support 32, and the handle support 35 are pulled together toward each other for storage. Moreover, the front-side and rear-side frames 381 of the mounting frame 38 are moved down toward each other. Therefore, the space occupied by the stroller 3 is significantly reduced so that the stroller 3 is more convenient to store in a car trunk or indoor corners.
In summary, the present invention has the following advantages:
- 1. In the present pet carrier stroller, the seat cushion is fastened with the stroller firmly so that the pet in the pet carrier bag connected with the seat cushion can sit in the stroller stably and the safety of the pet transported in the stroller is improved.
- 2. The two support rods of the seat cushion can be folded inward to reduce space occupied by the seat cushion. Thereby users can carry the seat cushion together with the pet carrier bag having the pet therein by their hands more conveniently.
- 3. While the stroller is not in use, the handle support is folded back down and then the front-wheel support, the rear-wheel support, and the handle support are pulled together toward each other for storage. Thereby the space occupied by the stroller is minimized and the stroller is more convenient to store.
Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, and representative devices shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalent.
