Presented is a pet carrier for retaining small pets. The pet carrier essentially includes a carrier body and a carrier support arrangement for mounting the carrier body on the bicycle's handlebars or the car's seat. The carrier body includes a front door section, a head section, and a base section. The carrier body also includes a built-in handle at the head section enabling a user to carry the pet carrier from one location to another. The front door section is selectively openable and includes a self-locking latch mechanism that self-locks, when a user places the pet inside the pet carrier and closes the front door section. Further, the base section of the pet carrier includes a mounting/dismounting mechanism that allows the carrier body to click or attach onto the carrier support arrangement designed to removably mount the carrier body on to a bicycle's handlebar or a car's seat.

A cat carrier includes a tray, and an enclosure formed of: a lower housing portion with an upper mating flange, and an upper housing portion with a lower mating flange. Protrusions on one mating flange slidably engage openings formed with respect to the other mating flange, to releasably couple the housings together without tools. Holes in each of the mating flanges align, when the housing portions are mated, and each aligned pair of holes receives a fastener to releasably secure the housing portions together. The holes on one flange transition into a keyed opening (e.g. a hexagonal-shaped opening) that receives a hex head of a bolt, to prevent rotation of the bolt when a wing nut is tightened onto the fastener, permitting final assembly without the use of tools. The protrusions create a gap between the flanges, forming a track, which receives/guides a flange of the base.

A locking apparatus for a pet cage is disclosed. The locking apparatus comprises a turntable rotatable about a central axis of rotation; at least one elongate metal lock bar, where elongate metal lock bar is configured to extend along a radial line originating from the axis of rotation of the turntable and a connecting member for operably connecting the elongate metal lock bar and the turntable. The connecting member comprises a forwardly extending portion for receiving a front section of the elongate metal lock bar and fixing a retained end of the elongate metal lock bar to the connecting member and a rearward extending portion which extends parallel with and is outwardly offset from the forwardly extending portion. The connecting member also includes a linear conversion mechanism arranged between the turntable and the rearward extending portion of the connecting member; the linear conversion mechanism configured to convert rotation of the turntable about the axis of rotation to linear movement of the connecting member in the same direction as a longitudinal direction of the elongate metal lock bar.

An animal enclosure includes a kennel body including a rotational molded wall formed from a plastic material. The kennel body defines an interior space shaped to accommodate one or more animals, and defines a door opening shaped to allow the animal to enter and exit the kennel body. A hoop-shaped door frame is disposed on the kennel body proximate the door opening. A door is disposed on the door frame, and the door is pivotally moveable relative to the door frame between an open position and a closed position. A latch is disposed on the door. A drain recess is defined in the rear wall of the kennel body, and a removable drain plug may be positioned in the drain recess. A moat is defined in the kennel body floor to collect water off the floor of the kennel body.

A climate controlled display cabinet includes a frame. A stationary shelf is coupled to the frame. A plurality of operable shelves is coupled to at least one of the frame and the stationary shelf. The operable shelves are moveable between open and closed positions. A heat source is in thermal communication with the stationary shelf and the plurality of operable shelves. At least one temperature sensor monitors a temperature of an area proximate the stationary shelf and the plurality of operable shelves.

A collapsible pet crate that is easy to operate, aesthetically pleasing, quiet, light, durable, easy to clean, and safe and comfortable for the animal. Also disclosed herein are methods of operating a collapsible pet crate. The collapsible pet crate disclosed herein can further include one-step operation, environmentally safe and pet-friendly materials, and method to include various pet-friendly accessories.

A first implementation provides a clamp (10; 110; 210; 310) for connecting a plurality of wire mesh panels together, the clamp comprising a base (14; 114; 214; 314), a cap (12; 112; 212; 312) releasably attachable to the base, and a plurality of arms (18, 118, 218, 318) provided between the base and the cap to define a plurality of channels (500) within the clamp; wherein each said channel is configured to accommodate a portion of a loop of a respective one of said plurality of panels to connect the panels together. Another implementation provides a clamp (511a, 511b) for connecting a plurality of wire mesh panels together, the clamp comprising first and second elongate panels (515, 517) that are releasably coupled to another by a fixing (519), the elongate panels cooperating to provide a first channel (537) into which a portion of a first wire mesh panel can be push-fitted and a second channel (539) into which a portion of a second wire mesh panel can be push-fitted, the clamp further comprising a first retainer (514a) operable to retain said portion of said first wire mesh panel in said first channel (537). and a second retainer (541c) operable to retain said portion of said second wire mesh panel in said second channel (539).

A door assembly for an animal enclosure includes a door frame and a door each having a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires. The door frame defines an opening for an animal to pass therethrough, and the door is slidably coupled to the door frame such that it moves between an open position and a closed position relative to the door frame to allow egress and ingress through the opening. A catch member is coupled to the door frame. A latch includes a base member, a bolt, and a lever portion. A first vertical wire and a second vertical wire of the door are spaced from one another such that the first vertical wire is at a first end of the door and the second vertical wire is at a second end of the door. In the closed position, the bolt is coupled to the first vertical wire.

A hamster house, which relates to the technical field of breeding devices, comprises: a box body and a movable door. An active cavity is provided inside the box body, an opening communicating with the active cavity is provided on the box body, and the box body is detachably assembled by several flat plates. The movable door is hinged and used to cover the opening. The box body includes: a bottom plate, side plates, a first panel and a second panel. Two side plates are provided and riveted on two ends of the bottom plate, and the two side plates are oriented to the same direction. The first panel is arranged between the two side plates, and the first panel is oriented to the same direction as the side plates.

The present disclosure relates to a transport cage for animals, comprising an upper part and lower part which are manufactured from plastic, wherein the lower part comprises a bottom part which is delimited by a peripheral wall, and wherein the upper part and lower part are fastened to one another and form a closed space for accommodating an animal, wherein the bottom part comprises at least one zone having a wall thickness that is at least 1.4 times thicker than the wall thickness of the peripheral wall.
