## Abstract

An animal capturing net having a simple mechanism is provided to capture cats or dogs safely and easily. The animal capturing net comprises a net having an upper opening portion, a lower bottom portion, and a prescribed depth D that separates the opening portion and the bottom portion, and a frame that is coupled with the net along an opening edge portion of the net. The frame is constituted to comprise a set of two operating frames facing each other so that they can be operated independently.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An animal capturing net comprising:
a net having an upper opening portion, a left side-surface, a right side-surface, a front-side side-surface, a near-side side-surface, a lower bottom portion, and a depth that separates the upper opening portion and the lower bottom portion; and
a frame that is coupled with the net along an opening edge portion at the upper opening portion of the net, the frame including a set of two operating frames, each operating frame of the set of two operating frames having a gripping portion and a coupling portion that extends from the gripping portion and couples with the opening edge portion, wherein
the front-side side-surface is disposed between the left side-surface and the right side-surface, the front-side side-surface having a trapezoidal shape in which a lower side of the front-side side-surface is shorter than an upper side of the front-side side-surface,
the near-side side-surface is disposed between the left side-surface and the right side-surface, the near-side side-surface having an isosceles triangle shape with an apex at which two equal sides of the isosceles triangle shape meet, the apex being at a bottom of the near-side side-surface, the near-side side-surface being located closer to the gripping portion of each operating frame of the set of two operating frames than the front-side side-surface,
the lower bottom portion having another isosceles triangle shape with another apex at which two equal sides of the another isosceles triangle shape meet, the another apex being located closest to the gripping portion of each operating frame of the set of two operating frames than a remainder of the lower bottom portion, and
the apex of the near-side side-surface contacting the another apex of the lower bottom portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The animal capturing net according to claim 1, wherein each coupling portion of the set of two operating frames respectively has a tip formed in the shape of hooks.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The animal capturing net according to claim 1, wherein tips of the set of two operating frames are coupled to each other by a string body.
