Description

Prefabricated doghouse

Object of the invention The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a prefabricated doghouse, which has been conceived in order to obtain certain advantages over others existing for similar purposes. The booth has been
Especially designed for outdoor use, as shelter for animals against the weather, cold and humidity.

Background of the invention This invention has its application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of prefabricated houses.

The applicant is aware of the current existence of a large number of prefabricated doghouses. However, the applicant is not aware of the existence at present of an invention that is endowed with the ideal characteristics similar to those set forth herein.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION More specifically, the prefabricated house that is recommended is structured based on a body covered and opened by one of its sides, rectangular and volumetric in accordance with the needs that the animal needs in terms of space, and configured so that the cover is constituted as an independent element, easily practicable without the need of any type of joint or hinge, and that allows access to the interior of it with comfort to proceed to its cleaning.

The house is made from rigid rectangular panels of small thickness (preferably plywood board), constituting the panels themselves by walls, floor or ceiling of the house, assembling each other by means of screws, and being prepared for a simple assembly that can be done, with minimal means, by the end user of it.

The materials used and the geometric layout of the design make this body consistent, lightweight, easily manageable, waterproof, and offer optimal thermal insulation, ventilation and interior hygiene characteristics.

Brief description of the drawings To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part thereof, as an integral part thereof. For illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the front part of the house, made in accordance with the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the back of the house.

Figure 3.- Shows the fit of the main parts of which the house is composed: base (1), visor (2), sleepers (3), and cover (4). The constituent parts of the base are also numbered: floor (5), side walls (6), front wall (7), rear wall (8). Finally, the supplementary waterproof parts (9) that would be screwed to the sleepers at the bottom are indicated.

Figure 4.- Shows a perspective view of the opening mode of the cover (4), pivoting on the visor (2) and how it is supported and stable in a vertical position on the base (1) to proceed with cleaning from inside the cabin.

Figure 5.- Shows a sectional detail of the opening mode of the cover (4), pivoting on the visor (2), around the flange (10) that the visor leaves when protruding above the side walls (6) ). Said tab (10) holds the cover (4) when the house is closed, said cover being inclined in rest position.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures it can be seen how the prefabricated dog house that is recommended is structured from four main parts that we will call base (1), visor (2), sleepers (3), and cover (4), which in together they form a cabin of adequate dimensions for the shelter of the animal. The visor (2) and the two sleepers (3) are screwed to the base

(1) forming a solidarity body. The cover piece (4) simply rests on the walls of the Base part (1), pivoting around the flange (10) that forms the visor (2) with said walls, and finally sits by gravity in an inclined position which favors the evacuation of rainwater.

The base (1) consists of six rectangular boards that make up the four walls and the floor (5) of the cabin. The two pieces that make up the side walls (6) are taller than the rest, and slightly protrude from the underside of the board that forms the floor (5) to facilitate the lateral fixation of the sleepers (3). The front wall (7) is formed by two bolted boards forming an "L" that does not completely close the cabin by this face, because through it the animal enters the interior cabin. Finally, the rear wall (8) has a lower height than all the previous ones to facilitate access to the cabin during cleaning, when the cover (4) is open. The floor (5) is formed by a horizontal panel that rises above ground level by means of the two sleepers (3).

The visor (2) is composed of two rectangular boards screwed into an "L", and is located in the upper front part of the base piece (1), screwed to the side walls (6) of the latter. In its placement, it is arranged at an angled angle to the horizontal to facilitate the evacuation of rainwater. The visor protrudes slightly over the side walls of the base (1) leaving an upper flange (10) that prevents sliding of the cover piece (4) and also produces an inclination of the latter with respect to the base (1) that prevents water accumulation on the house.

The cover (4) is in the shape of a parallelepiped open on its lower face and is formed by five rectangular boards that make up four side walls, the front one of less height than the other three, and an upper cover. The cover piece can be lifted to allow easy access to the interior of the cabin for cleaning as shown in Figure 4.

the durability of the legs could be increased by means of the provision of additional pieces of waterproof material screwed in its lower part (9).

Advantages of the invention in relation to the prior art:

The geometric configuration of the model at the same time resolves the structural rigidity of the assembly and the rapid evacuation of rainwater. The design of the house also allows easy access to the interior cabin for cleaning without having to perform any partial disassembly operation.

The seat of the cover piece in an inclined position on the base is produced by the effect of its own weight, the opening of the cover is produced by the rotation of the cover on the tab that leaves the visor in the form of "l" above of the side walls, and this cover, when the passenger compartment is open, is kept in a vertical position supported on the side walls of the base, all without the need of any type of joint or hinge between both pieces, with the consequent lowering of the solution.

The arrangement of the floor of the house, raised on the ground by means of the sleepers, makes the animal's interior resting plane protected from possible transmission of cold and moisture from the ground.

The design of the house allows to create a cross ventilation to eliminate excessive humidity or to favor the cooling of the house in times of heat.

The fact that all the panels that make up the house are rectangular in shape and therefore, all the cuts of the boards are straight is an advantage for their cutting and for the manufacturing process.

The simplicity of the design allows its resolution with a single material and with a minimum transformation of the same, which will result in a minimum unit cost, with the consequent economic advantage.

It is not considered necessary to make this description more extensive so that any person skilled in the art understands the scope of the invention and the advantages derived therefrom.

The materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements will be subject to variation as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essentiality of the invention.

the terms in which this report has been written must always be taken in a broad and non-limiting sense.
