BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

In the prior art, a cage assembly made of multiple pieces are often used to provide housing for a pet. The pet cage assembly is made of multiple pieces of uniform rectangular metal fence panels. The uniform rectangular metal fence panels are connected to form an enclosure. The number of uniform rectangular metal fence panels used to form the enclosure can be increased or decreased according to the area need to be provided for the pet. The individual rectangular metal fence panel can be easily taken apart and moved away. Any rectangular metal fence panel can be connected to another neighboring rectangular metal fence panel through a hinge structure or a latch structure on the sides. Any rectangular metal fence panel is connected to the supporting beam on the top, which extends toward the center of the pet cage. A tarpaulin is placed over all the supporting beams to form a cover of the pet cage. At least one of the rectangular metal fence panel has a feeding opening. The feeding opening has a opening and close door panel. The feeding opening is positioned on the top half of the rectangular metal fence panel, so that the pet inside the cage will not escape at the feeding through the feeding opening.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

The objective of the present invention is to provide an animal or pet cage. The pet cage intends to solve the technical problem that a pet can escape at the time of feeding because the feeding opening is positioned too low at the pet cage.

The pet cage, disclosed in the present invention, comprises three or more rectangular metal fence panels. The rectangular metal fence panels are configured to be connected to each other on either side to form an enclosed area. Wherein each rectangular metal fence panel can be connected to a neighboring rectangular metal fence panel on both sides through a hinge structure or a latch structure. A supporting beam is provided for each rectangular metal fence panel and extends horizontally from a top of the rectangular metal fence panel to above the center of the pet cage. One end of all the supporting beams meet above the center of the pet cage. A tarpaulin is placed over all the supporting beams to form a cover of the pet cage. At least one of the rectangular metal fence panels has a feeding opening, and the feeding opening has a door panel, characterized in that the feed opening is positioned on a top half of the rectangular metal fence panel.

Further, all the supporting beams are connected to a same connecting member above the center of the pet cage pet.

Further, one side of the door panel is connected to a rectangular metal fence panel through a hinge structure, and the other side of the door panel has a latch, an adjacent rectangular metal fence panel is provided with a latch base, and the latch base is configured to receive the latch.

Further, the latch is inserted to the latch base from a position under the latch base and moves upwardly, and a reset spring is disposed between the latch and door panel, configured to move the latch upwardly.

Further, a bottom end of each supporting beam is hingely attached to the top of a corresponding rectangular metal fence panel. One end of the all the supporting beams all meet above the center of the pet cage and are connected together by a plastic member to form a joint connection. The joint connection structure not only provides fixture for the top portion of the pet cage and also serves as supporting structure for the tarpaulin cover.

Further, the bottom corners of any two adjacent rectangular metal fence panels are fixedly connected through a plastic member, in order to stabilize the entire cage structure.

The pet cage disclosed herein has advantage over the prior arts. In the present invention, the feeding opening is placed on the top half of the rectangular metal fence panel, to avoid the pet inside the cage to escape during the feeding. The latch is inserted to the latch base from a position under the latch base. A reset spring is used secure the latch upwardly to prevent the door panel to be opened by the pet inside the cage.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is an illustration of the pet cage in accordance with the present invention.

FIG. 2 is an illustration of the feeding opening of the pet cage in accordance with the present invention.

FIG. 3 is an illustration of the feeding opening of the pet cage, when the feeding door is open, in accordance with the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS Implementation Embodiment 1

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the pet cage disclosed in the present invention, have three or more rectangular metal fence panels 1. The rectangular metal fence panels 1 are connected to each other on the sides to form an enclosed area. Any of the rectangular metal fence panels 1 can be connected to another neighboring rectangular metal fence panel on both sides through a hinge structure or a latch structure. Any rectangular metal fence panel 1 is provided with a supporting beam 2 on the top. The supporting beam 2 extends from the top of the rectangular metal fence panel 1 to above the center of the animal cage. One ends of all the supporting beams are gathered to above the center of the animal cage. All the supporting beam 2 are covered by a piece of a tarpaulin (not shown) to form a cover of the pet cage. At least one of the rectangular metal fence panel 1 has a feeding opening 3. The feeding opening has a door panel 5, Wherein, the feed opening 3 is positioned on a top half of the rectangular metal fence panel 1.

Further, one ends of all the supporting beams 2 are connected to a same connecting member 4, above the center of the pet cage pet.

Further, one side of the door panel 5 is connected to a rectangular metal fence panel 1 through a hinge structure, and the other side of the door panel 5 has a latch, an adjacent rectangular metal fence panel is provided with a latch base, and the latch base is configured to receive the latch.

Further, the latch is inserted to the latch base from a position under the latch base and moves upwardly, and a reset spring is disposed between the latch and door panel 5, configured to move and secure the latch upwardly.

Further, a bottom end of each supporting beam 2 is hingely attached to the top of a corresponding rectangular metal fence panel 1. One end of the all the supporting beams all meet above the center of the pet cage and are connected together by a plastic member 4 to form a joint connection. The joint connection structure not only provides a fixture for the top portion of the pet cage and also serves as a supporting structure for the tarpaulin cover.

Further, the two bottom corners of any two adjacent rectangular metal fence panels are fixedly connected through a plastic member 6, in order to stabilize the entire cage structure.

In the present invention, the feeding opening 3 is placed on the top half of the rectangular metal fence panel 1, to avoid the pet inside the cage to escape from the feeding opening 3 during the feeding. The latch is inserted to the latch base from a position under the latch base. A reset spring is used secure the latch upwardly to prevent the door panel 5 to be opened by the pet inside the cage.
