Abstract
A collapsible pet carrier () includes a base () with a shiftable frame () movable between a collapsed position and an extended use position; the carrier also has a flexible cover () which, with the base, forms a pet enclosure. The cover () has an animal doorway () as well as optional see-through windows (). The frame () is preferably formed of flexible and resilient shape memory material allowing the frame to self-erect when unrestrained, without any manual manipulation or other intervention. Also, the carrier () preferably includes a top () which mates with the base to form a carrier housing, which restrains the popup frame () to retain it within the carrier housing. The top () may also be inverted and secured to the base () during use.
