Abstract

The litter material is of shredded waste-paper formed into granules, with a bonding agent. The latter is of one or more plastics and/or natural products, e.g. PVC, PVP, cornflour or gum arabic. It can also contain an odour-absorbent and/or a dung-degrading enzyme released by the moisture. ADVANTAGE - Low cost, and easy incineration or composting.

Description

       

  
 



   BESCHREIBUNG



   Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Streumittel für Katzentoiletten.



   Es ist bekannt, Sägemehl zur Aufnahme des Katzenkotes zu verwenden.



   In neuerer Zeit ist es auch bekannt geworden, granulierte Mineralstoffe zur Aufnahme von Katzenkot einzusetzen.



  Diese Streumittel können zudem mit Geruchsbindern angereichert sein und damit sowohl die Feuchtigkeit als auch den Geruch absorbieren.



   Zur Herstellung dieser bekannten Streumittel werden reine, verhältnismässig teure Grundstoffe verwendet, deren Verwendung für einen sinnvolleren Zweck dadurch entzogen wird. Des weiteren ist die Vernichtung der auf mineralischen Grundstoffen aufgebauten Mittel nicht vollständig möglich.



   Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun darin, ein Streumittel für Katzentoiletten zu schaffen, das die Nachteile der bekannten meidet.



   Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Streumittel für Katzentoiletten gemäss den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.



   Die Verwendung von Altpapier zur Herstellung von Streumittel für Katzentoiletten erweist sich in vielfacher Hinsicht als sehr vorteilhaft, da Altpapier in unbeschränkter Menge und kostengünstig erhältlich ist und dessen Verarbeitung zum Streumittel für Katzentoiletten mit geringem Aufwand an Energie möglich ist. Das verunreinigte Streumittel für Katzentoiletten kann umweltfreundlich kompostiert oder verbrannt werden; es entstehen keine schädlichen Rückstände.



   Anhand eines Beispieles wird die Erfindung näher erläutert.



   Zur Herstellung des Streumittels für Katzentoiletten wird Altpapier aus Zeitungen, Zeitschriften, Pappe etc. in geeigneter Art zerkleinert und zu einem Granulat klötzchenförmig oder in beliebiger, dreidimensionaler Gestalt aufbereitet.



  Das Granulat bzw. die Klötzchen o. ä. können lose gepresst oder durch ein Bindemittel verfestigt sein, wobei dem Bindemittel zusätzlich ein Geruchsabsorber beigegeben sein kann.



   Als Bindemittel können Kunststoffe oder natürliche Produkte verwendet werden. Es eignen sich beispielsweise Toxtrin (Maisstärke), Gummi arabicum oder PVC- bzw. PVP Produkte.



   Als Geruchsabsorber können Parfums, Duftstoffe und auch Enzyme verwendet werden.



   Werden Enzyme oder Enzymgemische verwendet, so können diese sowohl die geruchsbildenden Substanzen und den Kot biologisch abbauen und in eine geruchlose Substanz umwandeln.



   Es ist auch denkbar, ein Bindemittel zu verwenden, das durch die mit dem Kot eingebrachte Feuchtigkeit erneut erweicht und nach dem Eintrocknen den Kot zusammen mit dem Papier örtlich verfestigt und so den  verbrauchten  Teil des Streus zusammenhält. Auf diese Weise lässt sich eine Durchmischung mit dem noch sauberen Anteil verzögern.



   Dem Altpapier können zudem natürliche Faserstoffe aus Textil-Abfallprodukten beigegeben werden. 



  
 



   DESCRIPTION



   The present invention relates to a litter for cat litter boxes.



   It is known to use sawdust to absorb cat feces.



   In recent times, it has also become known to use granulated minerals to absorb cat feces.



  These spreading agents can also be enriched with odor binders and thus absorb both moisture and odor.



   Pure, relatively expensive raw materials are used to produce these known scattering agents, the use of which is thus withdrawn for a more useful purpose. Furthermore, the destruction of the agents based on mineral raw materials is not completely possible.



   The object of the present invention is to provide a litter for cat litter boxes that avoids the disadvantages of the known ones.



   This object is achieved by a spreading agent for cat litter boxes according to the characterizing features of patent claim 1.



   The use of waste paper for the production of litter for cat litter boxes proves to be very advantageous in many respects, since wastepaper is available in unlimited quantities and inexpensively and its processing into litter for cat litter boxes is possible with little expenditure of energy. The contaminated litter for cat litter boxes can be composted or burned in an environmentally friendly way; there are no harmful residues.



   The invention is explained in more detail using an example.



   To produce the litter for cat litter boxes, waste paper from newspapers, magazines, cardboard etc. is crushed in a suitable manner and processed into granules in block form or in any three-dimensional shape.



  The granules or the blocks or the like can be loosely pressed or solidified by a binder, and an odor absorber can also be added to the binder.



   Plastics or natural products can be used as binders. For example, Toxtrin (corn starch), gum arabic or PVC or PVP products are suitable.



   Perfumes, fragrances and also enzymes can be used as odor absorbers.



   If enzymes or enzyme mixtures are used, they can biodegrade both the odor-forming substances and the faeces and convert them into an odorless substance.



   It is also conceivable to use a binder which softens again due to the moisture introduced with the droppings and, after drying, locally solidifies the droppings together with the paper and thus holds the used part of the litter together. In this way, mixing with the still clean portion can be delayed.



   Natural fiber from textile waste products can also be added to the waste paper.
