  • Patent number: 5277148
    Abstract: An enclosure for small animals which is wearable on the front or back of an animate bearer. Straps are attached to a solid base upon which a complete enclosure is fastened. The straps allow the pet enclosure to be suspended from the shoulders and waist of a bearer, fully freeing the arms and hands. The enclosure is substantially transparent and completely air-permeable, allowing the pet to view outside events and to experience the textures of the outdoors in safety and comfort. A solid base forms the floor of the enclosure allowing the pet to have firm footing, as well as room to sit, stretch, or lie down. The base is of a recessed configuration, contoured to the body of the bearer to provide distribution of the animal's weight close to the bearer and centered for balance, as well as to provide a means for containing pet waste where it can be easily cleaned. Ample access to the enclosure is provided by fasteners in both the front and rear of the enclosure, from both the left and the right sides.
