Description

  The present invention relates to a tool for collecting feces and urine from a cat toilet.

  Usually, sand or gravel-like solidifying agent that solidifies excreta is used in the cat litter box. When scooping up the solidified waste with a scoop, the scooped portion of the scoop is generally in the form of a sand hole so that the surplus sand that can be reused without being solidified is passed through a sieve and passed through the toilet.

(I) When feces of cats are soft and difficult to solidify, or when solidification is not progressing like urine shortly after urination, excrement to be scooped up collapses and leaks from the sand hole of the scoop There are many.
(B) Small-sized excrement, such as feces fragments, which may be caught between the toes of the cat's limbs and taken out of the toilet, will fall out of the gaps in the sand hole even if they are scooped. There are many.
(C) When collecting excrement scooped with a scoop into a discharge plastic bag, etc., excrement that has not been solidified or sand that could not be removed with a sieve leaks from the sand hole and spills out of the toilet There are many cases.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.

A saucer is provided under the scoop of the sand hole scoop. Extend the end of the saucer to the bottom of the scoop handle, provide a saucer bearing, and provide a nail at the tip. A lever is provided on the lower side of the scoop handle, and a lever claw is provided at the base of the lever so as to cover the tray bearing claw.
A scoop for a cat toilet having the above-described configuration.

(A) Feces that are soft and insufficiently solidified, and urine that has not solidified soon after urination can be scooped without leaking from the sand hole of the scoop.
(B) Even when trying to scoop, even a small piece of feces that leaks out of the sand hole can be scooped up reliably. As a result, the cat can be prevented from being taken out of the toilet by pinching them inside the toilet.
(C) When collecting excrement scooped with a scoop into a plastic bag for discharge from a toilet container, excrement that is not sufficiently solidified, small stool fragments, and sand that could not be removed with a sieve leak from the sand hole. Can prevent spilling out of the toilet.

Perspective view of the present invention Perspective view showing the open / close state of the tray

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(A) A saucer (3) is provided below the sand hole scoop scoop part (1).
(B) Extend the end of the tray (3) to the bottom of the scoop handle (2) and provide the tray bearing (4).
(C) A saucer bearing claw (5) is provided along the scoop handle (2) from the saucer bearing (4).
(D) A small hole penetrating the saucer bearing (4) is opened and a saucer shaft (6) is provided.
(E) A lever (7) is provided on the lower side of the scoop handle (2).
(F) A lever claw (8) is provided at the base of the lever (7) so as to cover the tray bearing claw (5).
(G) The lever shaft (9) is formed by drilling a small hole that penetrates the lever (7).
When actually using this,
When scooping the excrement: Pull the lever (7) with your index finger (or the middle finger) and the lever claw (8) will push down the saucer bearing claw (5). It will be in the state which covers a hole scoop scoop part (1) from the bottom.
By scooping excreta in this state, feces that are soft and insufficiently solidified or urine that has not solidified soon after urination can be scooped without leaking from the sand hole of the scoop. Moreover, even if it is trying to scoop, even a small dung piece that leaks from the sand hole can be surely scooped up.
When sorting out waste and surplus sand: Release the lever (7) to release the lever claw (8), and the tray (3) will open automatically under its own weight. In this state, if the sieve is passed through the sand hole of the scoop, the solidified waste remains on the scoop, and the excess sand is screened off in the toilet.
When transferring the excrement from the toilet container to a plastic bag, etc .: Pull the lever (7) and transfer the excrement to the scoop with the pan (3) covering the sand hole scoop scoop part (1). As a result, it is possible to prevent excrement that is not sufficiently solidified, small stool pieces, and excess sand that cannot be removed with a sieve from leaking from the sand hole and spilling out of the toilet.
