BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION One embodiment of the present invention (claim 2,
4 and 6) will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
The cat's nail sharpener A has a nail polisher main body 3 made by fixing a recycled paper recycled material 1 to a cardboard 2 in a cosmetic case 4.

The used paper recycled material 1 is a flat plate prepared by adding the component 11 and the antibacterial agent 12 to the slurry generated during the used paper recycling process and pressing a press body (not shown) having a rough press surface against the flat plate. It is manufactured by press molding into a shape. This used paper recycled material 1 is fixed to a flat cardboard 2 with an adhesive (not shown). In the present embodiment, the raw material of the used paper recycled material 1 is waste office paper (such as used high-quality paper and PPC paper) discharged from the office.

In the present embodiment, again as the component 11,
I use the chips made in Japan again. The antibacterial agent 12 is a grain extract (soybean
Liquid S1 (trade name) containing rice and wheat) and a surfactant is used.

It should be noted that the content of the component 11 is 0.1% by weight.
The preferred range of addition ratio is 5% by weight, 0.01% by weight to 1% by weight of the antibacterial agent 12, and the balance being recycled material. If the amount of component 11 is less than 0.1% by weight, it is difficult to attract the attention of cats, and if the amount of component 11 exceeds 5% by weight, nails are no longer sharpened and do not sharpen nails. If the amount of the antibacterial agent 12 is less than 0.01% by weight, the antibacterial action is weak, and if it exceeds 1% by weight, the odor releasing property of the components is deteriorated.

In the makeup box 4 (cardboard), a product name 42 and an illustration 43 are color-printed on a foldable half-lid 41, and instructions for use are printed on the back surface of the box. The half lid 4
1 is bent and pierced with a pin or the like to be attached to a wall, a pillar, or the like, or the half lid 41 is cut off, and the box upper surface is cut out in a substantially frame shape and placed on a tatami mat for use.

The cat nail sharpener A of this embodiment has the following advantages. [A] Recycled recycled paper 1 again with component 11 and antibacterial agent 12
Since the and are carried, the cat's attention can be strongly attracted, and various bacteria are sterilized, which is hygienic.
Since the component 11 and the antibacterial agent 12 are again added to the slurry during the used paper recycling process, the component 11 and the antibacterial agent 12 can be supported in the used paper recycled material 1 almost uniformly. As a result, even if the used paper recycled material 1 is reduced by the sharpening of the nails, it is possible to keep the effect and antibacterial effect almost constant.

[A] A pressed body having a rough pressed surface is pressed against the slurry used in the used paper recycling process and press-formed into a flat plate to form a rough surface. This allows
The surface can be roughened and a cat can polish the nails by setting the nails on the surface of the waste paper recycled material 1, and it is possible to prevent nail sharpening on furniture or the like. Further, since the surface of the recycled paper recycled material 1 becomes hard by press molding, it lasts a long time. Even if the portion of the used paper recycled material 1 is reduced by the sharpening of the nails, the used paper recycled material 1 is not separated because it is fixed to the cardboard 2 with an adhesive.

[C] Since the used paper recycled material 1 and the corrugated cardboard 2 are flat and contained in the cosmetic case 4, it is easy to install the cat's nail sharpener A in a room with a cat and does not take up much space. .

[D] The cat's nail sharpener A is a nail sharpener body 3
Since it is stored in the makeup box 4, it looks good and does not damage the atmosphere of the room. In addition, shavings generated by sharpening a cat's nails are accumulated in the dressing box 4, and thus are unlikely to scatter.

[E] The cosmetic case 4 is a foldable half lid 4
Has 1. Therefore, the half lid 41 is bent and pierced with a pin or the like to be attached to a wall or a pillar, or the half lid 41 is cut off.
It can be used by placing it on a tatami mat with the top of the box cut out into a frame shape.

The present invention includes the following embodiments in addition to the above embodiments. a. The regenerated material may be three-dimensionally press-molded into the outer shape of a small animal such as a mouse or a fly that the cat is interested in. In this case, it is further effective to color the regenerated material so as to resemble a real small animal (corresponding to claims 1, 3, 4, and 5).

B. On the upper surface of the used paper recycled material 1 of the cat's nail sharpener A, a picture of a small animal such as a mouse or a flying squirrel that the cat is interested in may be color printed (corresponding to claims 2 to 6).

C. Further, the component 11 and the antibacterial agent 12 may be applied or sprayed onto the used paper recycled material 1 afterwards to be carried (corresponding to claims 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6). In addition, in order to recover or enhance the ability, the component 11 or the antibacterial agent 12 may be applied or sprayed on the recycled material 1 of recycled paper once again (corresponding to claims 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6). ).

D. The used paper recycled material 1 and the corrugated board 2 may be square, circle, ellipse, triangle, trapezoid, rhombus, etc. (corresponding to claims 1 to 6).
