Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet body for pets that absorbs urine excreted from pets using live grass and odors emitted from urine, and a manufacturing method and a providing method thereof.

  The present invention relates generally to pet excrement containers. Specifically, the present invention comprises a portable and fully disposable container that is watertight and equipped with live grass.

  Portable and disposable live grass pet toilets solve one of the most troublesome problems for pet owners of handling their excrement. Owners who cannot take care of dogs kept at home for a long time have limited ways to deal with dog excretion. Also, walking dogs in the rain or at night is a situation that most pet owners want to avoid as much as possible from the viewpoint of comfort and personal safety. For older owners and older or injured dogs, the inconvenience of their movements also makes it difficult to cope with pet excrement. Individuals who live in apartment buildings and other apartments often find it inconvenient to go out for walks with their dogs.

In order to cope with these problems, a device has been proposed by others that allows a dog to perform excretion indoors without being taken for a walk outdoors by the owner as necessary (for example, Patent Document 1). reference).
Hereinafter, conventional XX will be described.

  Brazzell in U.S. Patent Application No. 3,752,121 discloses an animal toilet using artificial grass and a disposable absorbent pad for absorbing excreta. Absorbent pads must be replaced by hand, and artificial grass must be cleaned and disinfected to prevent bacterial accumulation over time.

  Hillman U.S. Patent Application No. 10,880,285 discloses a mesh screen placed over a urine collection chamber. The urine is collected at the base of the tray portion and is discarded by the owner by hand as needed.

  MacLine US Patent Application No. 6,079,363 discloses a living grass mat supported by a permanent container of stored water. Live grass will be killed by the dog's urine over time, and the grass must be removed and replaced.

  Although the above and similar devices have been provided as a method for collecting indoor pet waste, they have several inconveniences. If a permanent reusable container contains non-perishable material (artificial grass, screens, etc.), pet owners can use the entire container, the base of the container, or permanent to prevent malodor and bacteria accumulation. Some parts must be periodically cleaned and disinfected. On the other hand, if a permanent reusable container contains live grass, it must be removed and replaced. This way of handling live grass can be inconvenient, dirty and tedious.

How to solve the problem

  The present invention is a unit constituted by the following two main parts. (1) Completely disposable mold unit with watertightness. (2) Live grass, live lawn (including lawn that has been washed or soil removed), or intermediate material that contains grass fruit and germinates.

  The grass is installed in the hollow part of the unit. The incorporation of these components forms a unit that allows the present invention to be fully disposable and easily transported.

  The portable and fully disposable indoor pet toilet provided provides multiple functions in a single unit. This includes containers made of or coated with watertight materials.

  A plurality of side walls extend from the base of the container, and these connect to form an internal cavity for providing live grass for collecting pet excreta.

  A removable or folded lid that contributes to the portability and easy disposal of the unit itself is provided.

  The unit can be installed on parallel surfaces (floor, etc.) that are easily accessible to pets, such as at home, eaves, and balconies.

  Designed to deliver new units regularly to customers at specified intervals, this portable, fully disposable unit is an artificial component that empties the stacking tray. There is no need for operations such as cleaning or disinfecting or replacing all components. The unit is designed to be transported and discarded as a set upon delivery of a new unit.

Effect of the invention

  The present invention is formed of a fully disposable unit including a watertight disposable container equipped with live grass, which means less maintenance work and increased convenience. It can provide great benefits. In this respect, the present invention is clearly different from other pet toilets.

  This unit is not equipped with a permanent base that needs to be cleaned or disinfected, and non-perishable parts such as artificial grass or grate, and this unit must be removed and replaced from a permanent container. There are no parts that contain.

  The units described above can be conveniently carried as a set and discarded.

The features and advantages of the present invention can be better understood with reference to the following drawings.
The drawings are as follows.

It is the three-dimensional side view which looked at the toilet for pets and a removable part from the diagonal viewpoint. It is the three-dimensional side view seen from the diagonal viewpoint which showed that two bases can be united by removing a perforation part arbitrarily and arranging it in the form where two bases of two different units face each other.

Detailed Description of the Invention

  As shown in FIG. 1, live grass (12) is mounted on the unit base (10) and further has a removable lid (13). The unit base (10) may be provided with one or more perforations, so that part of the material may be manually broken from the side of the base (10) by hand (11) or optionally folded ( 11) It can be done. Arbitrary breaks or folds are to allow puppies and relatively small dogs to easily access the grass.

  As shown in FIG. 2, these breakable locations can be used to connect (10) the bases of two or more units to ensure a larger area for large dogs. For this purpose, a clip or other device for securing two or more units may be included.

  In FIG. 1, the unit base (10) or the lid (13) is made of or coated with a material that is watertight to liquids. Corrugated cardboard coated with wax can be used for this particular purpose. On the surface of the unit base (10), a coating or sealant composed of vitamins or other nutrients or substances for extending the life of live grass may be added.

  In FIG. 1, the recommended shape of the unit base (10) and lid (13) is shown as a rectangle, but other shapes are possible. The removable lid (13) and part of the base (10) may be provided with holes or perforations for promoting air circulation during transportation. When the unit is transported to the pet position, the lid (13) is removed or folded, allowing the pet to enter and exit the unit. When the unit is to be discarded, the lid (13) is again placed on the unit base (10) to prevent dirt and unpleasant situations due to individual handling of the unit at the disposal stage. The entire unit (10, 12, 13) is discarded as a set.

  A deodorizing material or a liquid absorbing material may be used between the unit base (10) and the live grass (12). The live grass (12) may be processed with an insect repellent or a deodorant. Moreover, the process with the substance which decomposes manure may be given.

  Fixing material may be used under the live grass (12) so that the live grass (12) does not come off the unit base (10) during transport.

  There are multiple ways to increase the amount of live grass (12) to be installed in a pet toilet machine. Live grass (12) can be secured both inside the unit base (10) and inside the lid (13), thereby creating two separate toilets that can be combined to create a larger area . Different size containers may also be used. One example is a suitcase box that can be folded or rolled to carry grass during transportation. In this design, the lid unfolds and forms part of the base that includes grass.
