Abstract
A collapsible pet housing structure that includes a floor panel having a pair of parallel sides and a pair of ends extending between the sides. A pair of generally opposing walls are hingedly attached to the parallel sides of the floor panel, each wall including at least two generally planar wall panels hingedly connected to one another, each of the wall panels having an external surface and an internal surface, the internal surface of the wall panels of one wall facing the internal surface of the wall panels of the opposing wall, the hinged connection allowing movement of the wall panels from a first position where the external surfaces of the wall panels are at an acute angle relative to one another to a second position where the external surfaces of the wall panels are retained at an angle greater than 180 degrees relative to one another. The walls will preferably include supports for retaining the external surfaces of the wall panels at the second position relative to one another. The structure will also include a roof panel that extends between the walls and which is hingedly connected to the walls; and a pair of endwalls, each endwall being hingedly attached to the floor panel at opposing ends of the floor panel, the endwalls being adapted for supporting the wall panels in the second position, so that the roof panel is supported by the walls when the wall panels are at the second position.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
