DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a wire basket bird cage, which the user puts together himself after receiving the individual parts together with the tray, which forms the lower part of the cage, in a shallow cardboard box.
Various embodiments of this type of wire bird cage are known from the prior art listed herebelow; however, none of these known embodiments was able to gain a foothold on the market. The reason for this lies in the fact that with the known embodiments the connecting elements for the wire grating are so complicated that a non-expert cannot be expected to manipulate them, or that the stability of the assembled wire basket leaves something to be desired. The following state of the art has been cited:


______________________________________ German OS 26 50 901 U.S. Pat. No. 32 23 274 U.S. Pat. No. 33 52 287 U.S. Pat. No. 37 42 909 French patent application 76 09 421 (publication No. 23 45 074) ______________________________________
The object of the invention is to develop a wire basket bird cage of the above kind in line with market trends.
The solution is given by the features of the patent claims.
The space of the plastic tray is for the most part sufficient for accomodating the individual parts of such a wire basket. Basically, the package needs to be measured only for the size of the tray. When the user has received the individual parts of the wire basket, he joins the grating parts of the walls to the vertical joints with the aid of individual connecting parts made of plastic simply by pressing the wire at the edge of the respective grating part into the groove (slot) provided on the connecting part. The cage can be delivered with the two shoulder parts already connected to the grating part for the roof. The user then only needs to connect the shoulder parts to the curved or bent side parts, again by pressing the wire at the edge into the moulded connecting elements.
This results in a stable body since the moulded or individual connecting parts made of plastic hold the wires firmly in a snug manner. The shoulder parts made of solid plastic contribute substantially to the stability, particularly, since they are curved concavely, i.e. are reinforced in three dimensions.
The wire grating parts can be manufactured economically from rectangular or square wiremesh mats. Special designs are not necessary. The following preferred embodiments of the invention are provided. The connecting between the shoulder parts and the roof can also occur via formed, attachable connecting parts. If the respective groove openings of the formed connecting parts are directed downwardly, then the connection can be carried out by pressing the shoulder part onto the vertically disposed grating part. Stability can be increased by means of further formed elements. The grating parts connected to the shoulder parts can be curved or bent. They can also be of several pieces, whereby the connection in each case is established by individual connecting parts according to the invention. According to the invention, any cage layout can be constructed. The formed connecting parts are preferably designed in such a way that the connection can be easily established by pressing in the wire, whereas pulling out the wire is made more difficult.
The exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in greater detail herebelow with reference to the drawings wherein
