A method of opening a door of a pet enclosure includes pushing a tab of a latch toward an interior of the pet enclosure with a first hand so that the door of the pet enclosure is vertically displaceable. The method further includes vertically lifting the door with a second hand so that a horizontal wire rod of the door is traversed in front of the tab. The method further includes rotating the door from a closed position to an opened position.

Method of operating a latching mechanism for pet enclosure

A latching mechanism having a camming surface to engage the latching mechanism without human intervention when a door is traversed from an opened position to a closed position is disclosed. Other latching mechanisms are also disclosed. The latching mechanism may also be rotatable to engage the latching mechanism and prevent opening of the door from the closed position.

Latching mechanism for pet enclosure

A partition for an animal includes a wire panel having an edge rod, a dual axes swivel connector and a wire member is disclosed. The dual axes swivel connector is pivotally connected to the edge rod of the wire panel. The wire member is mountable to a first structure. The second groove of the dual axes swivel connected is receive the wire member for forming a hinge so that the wire panel may partition a first area from a second area.

Pet enclosure with dual axes swivel connector

A pet cage door system including a door frame multiple insertion buckles protruding toward a side of door frame. The door frame has a door that rotates relative to the door frame, and the door has a door bolt that transversely slides relative to the door. A first end of the door bolt is inserted into one of the insertion buckles, and a second end of the door bolt is connected to a vertical bar that transversely moves relative to the door. An end portion of the vertical bar has a transverse bar. The transverse bar has a turning-back bar that extends from an end of the transverse bar that and curves to form a semi-circular portion. The turning-back bar then extends parallel to the transverse bar, is spaced from the transverse bar, and is adapted to engage a second one of the insertion buckles.

Door of pet cage

A pet cage, including: a first lateral part, a second lateral part including a horizontal rod, and a connecting structure. The connecting structure includes a plurality of vertical rods. Each vertical rod includes an end including a swivel hook. The swivel hook includes: a front section, a middle section, and a rear section. The first lateral part and the second lateral part are adjacent to each other, and the connecting structure is disposed therebetween to connect the first lateral part and the second lateral part. The plurality of vertical rods is disposed on the first lateral part. The swivel hook is disposed at the end of each vertical rod and adapted to encircle the horizontal rod of the second lateral part. The angle between the rear section and the vertical rod of the first lateral part is between 80&#xb0; and 100&#xb0;.

Pet cage and device and method for manufacturing the same

The present invention discloses a novel pet cage door, including a door frame and a switch door capable of rotating relative to the door frame so as to be opened and closed. A locking apparatus is disposed between the switch door and the door frame, and the locking apparatus includes a housing disposed on the switch door. The present invention has a simple structure and requires low costs.

Pet cage door

A door for a pet enclosure is disclosed herein. The door is vertically and rotatably traversable with dual axes connectors. The door may be vertically traversed to unlatch hooks and wire rods from each other so that the door may thereafter be rotatably traversed to the opened position where the door is disposed on top of the top panel.

Door for a pet enclosure

A camming member for a door may have a camming surface which lifts the door as the door is traversed from an opened position to a closed position. The lifting movement of the door caused by the camming member facilitates one or more latches used to reinforce a periphery of the door to be engaged without further user intervention.

Door closing mechanism

A dual axes swivel connector for connecting various panels to assemble a pet enclosure is disclosed. The dual axes swivel connector allows panels of the enclosure to be reliably pivoted with respect to each other. The dual axes swivel connector may comprise first and second parts. The first part may be fabricated from a flexible material compared to the second part, whereas the second part may be fabricated from a more rigid material compared to the first part. The flexibility of the first part allows the first part to have a tighter fit with the wire rods. The second part has a looser fit with the wire rods but the rigidity of the second part compensates for the looser fit. When the first and second parts are interlocked, they create a tight fit which can reliably provide a hinge between the panels.

A fastener system for use to assemble a pet barrier. The fastener system includes a body and a mountable member that is configured to attach two adjacent overlapping wire panels together to erect a pet barrier. Vertical grooves and horizontal grooves are disposed along the periphery of the interior surface of the body. The detents formed within the vertical grooves assist in retaining the vertical wire rods of the distal wire panel so that the body can hang onto the back side of the distal wire panel without the user having to hold it in place which facilitates the assembly of the pet barrier with only a single user. Thus, the fastener system allows a single user to assemble the pet barrier without the assistance of another person.

Pet barrier fastener

A tray lock mechanism for a pet enclosure is disclosed. The tray lock mechanism includes a sliding component that has a camming surface that interacts with a leading-edge of the tray to generate an upward force to move the sliding component out of the way so that the tray can be inserted into an opening and into the pet enclosure. Additionally, in a further embodiment, the tray lock mechanism contemplates a door extension that extends downward and blocks the opening when the door is in the closed position and unblocks the opening, when the door is in an opened position.

Animal enclosure tray lock

A connector for use with an animal barrier. The connector includes a locking member configured to lock corresponding horizontal and vertical members when the locking member is in the locked position, and release the corresponding horizontal and vertical members to allow for length adjustment of both the horizontal and vertical members when the s is in the release position.

Connector for an animal fence

A tray lock mechanism for a pet enclosure is disclosed. The tray lock mechanism includes a sliding component that has a camming surface that interacts with a leading-edge of the tray to generate an upward force to move the sliding component out of the way so that the tray can be inserted into an opening and into the pet enclosure. Additionally, in a further embodiment, the tray lock mechanism contemplates a door extension that extends downward and blocks the opening when the door is in the closed position and unblocks the opening when the door is in an opened position.
