ABSTRACT:
A collapsible carrying container for animals includes top, bottom and opposed side walls which are in hinged assembly by means of four elongate hinges that extend substantially the entire length of the container. The top, bottom and side walls are capable of forming a rectangular animal enclosure and are enabled by the hinges to collapse in the manner of a parallelogram to a substantially flat condition. Opposed end walls are hingedly connected to the bottom wall and include out-turned structural flanges on the top, bottom and sides thereof for enhancement of the structural integrity of the end portions of the animal carrier unit. The hinges are connected to the outer edges of the lower out-turned structural flanges, thus permitting the end walls to be positioned within the rectangular enclosure. Locks are provided at the end portions of the top wall and include hooks that engage about the superposed ends of the top wall and out-turned structural flanges to thereby lock the end walls in place. An internal structural member is secured to the inner surface of the top wall to provide enhanced structural integrity thereof and to define stops at each end thereof which position the end walls. A carrying handle assembly is also secured to the top wall to permit manual support of the unit.
