Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a pet fence located between
the driver seat an the front passenger seat, and includes a ceiling
member to secure the fence.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A conventional pet fence used between the driver seat 52 and
the front passenger seat 53 of a vehicle 50 is shown in FIGS. 1 and
2 and generally includes two first bars 60 and each of which has an
open top and a leg portion 600 located opposite to the open top and
extending outward. A second bar 70 is located between the two first
bars 60 and two transverse bar 80 are used to connect the first
bars 60 and the second bar 70 together. The second bar 70 includes
an open top. An E-shaped top portion 90 includes three extensions
which are respectively inserted in the three open tops of the first
bars 60 and the second bar 70. The top portion 90 can be extended
upward to close the opening between the two seats 52, 53 and the
ceiling 51 of the vehicle 50. The two leg portions 600 stand on the
floor of the vehicle 50. Two ropes 601 tie the two first bars 60
and the head-rest support rods 521, 531 extending from the two
seats 52, 53. The conventional pet fence cannot be positioned
securely and often falls and shakes by impact from the pets on the
back-seat area.
[0003] The present invention intends to provide a pet fence that
includes a ceiling member which is retractably connected to the
second bar and the ceiling member includes a large-area disk to
contact against the ceiling so as to provide the pet fence a better
positioning feature.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The present invention relates to a pet fence which comprises
two first bars, a second bar located between the first bars and a
top portion connected on the two first bars and the second bar.
Each first bar has an open top and a leg portion which is located
opposite to the open top and extends outward. A first fastening
member is rotatably mounted to the open top of each of the first
bar. Two transverse bars connect the first bars and the second bar
together. A second fastening member is rotatably mounted to the
open top of the second bar. The top portion has three extensions
which are retractably inserted in the open tops of the two first
bars and the open top of the second bar. The first fastening
members and the second fastening member respectively secure the
three extensions relative to the first bars and the second bar. An
a djusting r od is movably s ecured i n one o f the t hree e
xtensions and a disk is connected to a distal end of the adjusting
rod.
[0005] The p resent invention w ill become more o bvious from t he
following description when taken in connection with the
accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration
only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present
invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0013] Referring t o FIGS. 3, 4 and 7, the pet fence o f the
present invention comprises two first bars 10 and each first bar 10
has an open top and a leg portion which is located opposite to the
open top and extends outward so that the leg portions stand on the
floor in a vehicle 50 as shown in FIG. 7. A first fastening member
11 is rotatably mounted to the open top of each of the first bar
10.
[0014] A second bar 20 is located between the two first bars 60 and
two transverse bars 30 connect the first bars 10 and the second bar
20 together to obtain a main fence. A second fastening member 21 is
rotatably mounted to the open top of the second bar 20 and includes
a locking bolt extending radially through the second fastening
member 21.
[0015] A top portion has three extensions 40 which are retractably
inserted in the open tops of the two first bars 10 and the open top
of the second bar 20 respectively. The first fastening members 11
and the second fastening member 21 then respectively secure the
three extensions relative to the first bars 10 and the second bar
20. In other words, the top portion can be positioned higher as
shown in FIG. 5 by operation of the first fastening members 11 and
the second fastening member 21.
[0016] A tube 4 01 is integrally connected to a middle one o f the
three extensions 40 and a third fastening member 41 is rotatably
mounted to the tube 401. An adjusting rod 400 is threadedly
connected to the tube 401 and can be positioned by the third
fastening member 41. A disk 42 is connected to a distal end of the
adjusting rod 400 so as to contact against the ceiling 51 of the
vehicle 50 as shown in FIG. 7 It is noted that the user may adjust
the adjusting rod 400 individually as shown in FIG. 6 such that the
user still have a larger space between the ceiling 51 and the top
portion.
[0017] The adjusting rod 400 is adjusted such that the disk 42
contacts against the ceiling 51 so hard and the reaction force push
the leg portions to firmly stand on the floor. By this way, the pet
fence is well positioned and no ropes needed.
[0018] While we have shown and described the embodiment in
accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those
skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without
departing from the scope of the present invention.
