Patent ID: 7628120

Claim:
A protective animal carrier adopted for use in transporting a confined animal with a motorcycle, said carrier consisting essential of: A. a motorcycle luggage carrier bottom section of a motorcycle luggage carrier equipped with a contoured brim and a hinging member fitted with removable hinging pins and including a mount for mounting the bottom section above a rear wheel of the motorcycle; and B. an attachable and detachable animal carrier top section having an interfacing rim sized and configured to matingly interface and mount onto said contoured brim, ventilating sidewalls vertically extending upwardly from said rim and an enclosing roof so as to provide in combination with said bottom section a confining chamber for protectively housing the animal therewithin, while still permitting an aerodynamic ventilation throughout said chamber when said top section is operationally mounted onto said bottom section and used to transport the animal therewithin, with said ventilating sidewalls of said top section being ventilated by ventilating ports positioned within said sidewalls including a rear ventilating port of a larger ventilating size so as to allow for effective admission of fresh air currents and an aerodynamic discharge of ventilating currents from said confining chamber and a detachable mating hinging member which correspondingly mates onto the hinging member of the luggage bottom section for hinging the top section onto the bottom section with said hinging pins and thereby permit access to the confining chamber and a placement of the animal therewithin when the top section is hinged to an open position and providing the confining chamber when said top section is hinged to the closed position.
