FOLDING CAGE
A folding cage that includes a base member, an upper member and a plurality of columns. The plurality of columns each extend between the base member and the upper member connecting the base member to the upper member. At least one of the plurality of columns is attached to the base member for pivotal movement with respect thereto and at least one of the plurality of columns is attached to the upper member for pivotal movement with respect thereto.
Animal enclosure with dual door assembly
An animal enclosure including a plurality of members defining an interior of the enclosure. One of the plurality of members includes a first member having a frame structure and door assembly formed by a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires. At least two of the horizontal wires of the frame structure form a hook positioned inside the defined opening. The door assembly is coupled to the frame and moves between an open and close positions. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door removably coupled to one another. The enclosure also includes a latch assembly for releasing the door assembly from the frame structure. In the close position, at least one horizontal wire of the first door and at least one horizontal wire of the second door are coupled to the hooks formed by the at least two horizontal wires of the frame structure.

Clamp
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).

ANIMAL ENCLOSURE
The present disclosure provides a door frame assembly that includes a frame that defines an opening therein for allowing access therethrough. The door frame also includes a door pivotally coupled to a first vertical wire of the of the frame for pivoting the door between an open position and a closed position. The door frame further includes a first coupling mechanism and a second coupling mechanism. The first coupling mechanism releasably couples the door to the frame and is formed by a first horizontal wire. The first horizontal wire forms a hooked end protruding outward toward the door and spaced inwardly of the frame to intersect with the opening. The second coupling mechanism releasably couples the door to the frame. The second coupling mechanism includes a portion configured to limit movement of the door relative to the frame until the second portion is pivoted in a direction toward the door.

Modular cage for pets, in particular rabbits
A cage (10) for rabbits or similar pets comprising a grill element (11) generally having a rectangular shape and which can be curved or shaped at the top as required, and where the grill element is applied to the top edge of a basin-shaped tray with modular walls and where this base comprises a bottom surface (13) and side walls (14, 15) which respectively form the long sides and the short sides of the tray, where the cage can be joined to at least one further cage alongside, where the cages are joined by removing from each of the cages their respective vertical wall (15) on the joining side, preferably the short side but also the long side, and where the two trays are held together by a specially shaped horizontal profile (18) with an up-turned U shape comprising the two vertical sides (19) which overlap on the joined edges of the tray bottoms positioned side by side.

Animal crate
The present disclosure provides a door assembly for an animal enclosure. The assembly includes a door frame having a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires that define an opening for an animal to pass therethrough. The assembly also includes a door configured to move between an open position and a close position relative to the door frame. A latch is pivotably coupled to the door and includes a mechanism that is removably coupled to the door frame. The assembly further includes a first vertical wire and a second vertical wire of the door. A first guide wire and a second guide wire are coupled to the door frame. The first vertical wire is coupled to and moves along the first guide wire between the open and close positions, and the second vertical wire is coupled to and moves along the second guide wire between the open and close positions.
