摘要： A collapsible animal container 10 having a lightweight construction is disclosed. The animal container 10 is constructed of a flexible housing 12 suspended by rigid panels 14 separated by struts 16. The housing 12 includes a top wall, bottom wall, a pair of end walls and a pair of side walls. One or more struts 16 are provided and are biased between the rigid panels 14 to maintain the animal container 10 in an open and usable configuration. When removed, the struts 16 may be stored in pockets 20 formed in the side walls to simplify transport. A strap 36 and/or leash may also be provided to bundle the rigid panels 14 together when not in use or for transport. A handle 18 may also be incorporated into the animal container 10 or strap 36, particularly, to further simplify transport.
