Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003530862
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A plurality of panels preferably made from a heat insulating material define an enclosure for a pet shelter. One of the panels has an opening for the pet to enter or exit the enclosure. The panels are disposed on a base member. Detents (e.g. hooks) on the panels are removably disposed in detents (e.g. openings) in the base member to position the panels in a particular relationship on the base member. The panels may be integral with one another or may be separate. When separate, the panels may be tilted inwardly to dispose the ends of adjacent pairs of the panels in a contiguous relationship. After being tilted, the panels are joined by locking rails, each engaging the contiguous ends of a different pair of adjacent panels and each removable to disengage the panels. A top cap on the panels defines a roof for the enclosure. When the panels are integral with each other, the top cap may be integral with the panels. When the panels are separate, detents on the top cap are removably coupled to detents on the panels, with the panels tilted, to position the top cap on the panels, thereby providing for easy assembly on, or disassembly from, the panels. The top cap has an opening to receive a vent cap. Whether the flaps are integral or separate, the vent cap is slidable in the opening in the top cap to adjust the size of a passage through which air circulates into and out of the enclosure.
