Abstract
" This tool is used for the cleaning of clumping type cat litter also the transportation of small pets.
It consist of three interacting structures. A barrel type structure which rolls counterclock wise when clean-ing the litter and also converts to a carry type housing when transporting small pets. Clean litter is also stored in this barrel type structure. A rolling type structure used to hold the barrel type structure in place when being used by the cat and assist in helping to roll the barrel type structure when cleaning. A three leveled screening tray used to collect all the waste particles during the cleaning process.
The barrel type structure is placed on the rolling device, the lower section of the barrel type structure is then filled with two inches of clumping type cat litter. When it comes time for cleaning , the screening tray is inserted through a opening in the barrel type structure and the barrel type structure is rotated counterclock wise. As the barrel structure is being rotated clean litter passes through the three level screening tray. When the barrel type structure is completly inverted only waste is traped in the screening tray , which is then removed and the waste discarded. The barrel type structure is then returned to its orginal position. Clean litter falls back down into the bottom portion of the barrel type structure and is now ready for use by the cat.
When transporting of a pet arises the upper portion of the barrel type structure is removed from the lower portion which stores the cat litter . The screening type tray is in-serted back into the barrel type structure which now becomes the floor of the barrel type structure and can be used to trans-port a small pet.

-Il Thi~ invention relate~ to a manually operated tool used to ~eparate waste product from clean cat litter and converts into a housing u~ed to tra~sport ~mall pet6."
" It is common i~ device6 for cleaning wa6te product from clean clumping type litter to be~d down for long period of time ~hifting through the litter with ~ome ki~d of ha~d held tool to remo~e the clumps of wa~te. Thi~ procedure is very time con~uming and a great deal of care must be take~
to en6ure proper cleani~g. Cleani~g devices of thifi natur~
~re very mes~y and the litter box i5 never properly clea~ed.
Searchin~ ~or wa~te by thi6 method cause6 the clumpfi of wa~te to crumble a~d ~et mixed back into the clea~ litter.
Small particles of wa6te product are over looked a~d the litter bo~ i6 left with poorly cleaned litter, which add6 to unwanted odor~ and germs which compou~d. Device~ o~ thi6 ki~d are u ually square in ~hape and require heavy lifti~g to remove the cat litter 60 the box it~elf can be clea~ed of uri~e 6tai~s a~d 6tool wa~t~,whic~ 6tick to thd bottom of the boY. A~ a result of p~orly Reparated wa~te from the clean cat litter many time~ clea~ litter get~ di6carded with the wa~te. Because,thi6 type of clea~ing i6 ~0 involY~ a~
adult must take on the respon~ibilty Qf the pet ow~er which is usually a child. People with back problems fi~d it very ~training to bend over for long period~ of time a~d ~eldom are able to pour out the litter from the ~oY to give it a proper clea~i~g.A separate housing i~ uQually u~ed whe~
tra~sporti~--the pet. This adds to the over all c06t i~volved wit~ ow~i~g a ~mall pet.~ ~
-"I have found that these disadvantage~ may be overcome by making a litter bo~ that i6 barrel shaped and when rotated counterclock wise allows the cat litter to pass through a tray which has three floors of perferated holes going from larger to 6maller ones. As the barrel is rotated o~ its roll-ing device the litter falls freely onto the screened tray allowing only the clean litter to pass through it6 hole~.
The barrel type litter container i6 easily rotated by a young child or adult. When the barrel 6haped litter bo~ is completly inverted the bottom can be easily cleaned. After the tray is removed and the waste discarded the barrel type structure is returned to its orginal position. This method of separating waste from the clean litter is quick and the litter is thoroughly cleaned of any waste. Because of the easy removeal of the bottom portion of the barrel shaped container all stain6 re~ini ng can be washed away making for a cleaner, odorless, germ reduced enviroment. "
