Description

  The present invention relates to a pet toilet used for the treatment of excretory fluid from pets (small animals) such as cats and dogs.

  2. Description of the Related Art As a pet toilet for processing the excretory fluid (urine and the like) of pets such as cats and dogs, there is known one in which a liquid absorbing material such as sand is spread on the bottom of a tray-like container. For example, when a cat is raised using such a toilet, the cat has a habit of applying sand to the excretion site after excretion, and therefore it is necessary to prevent the sand from scattering. For this purpose, it is necessary to raise the side wall of the tray for storing sand in the pet toilet. For example, Patent Document 1 describes an animal toilet in which side walls are provided on three surfaces of a rectangular granular material container in plan view, and the remaining surface is lowered to provide an entrance. In this toilet, since it is not possible to prevent sand scattering from the doorway, in this document, another member is arranged at the doorway to prevent sand scattering. However, in the toilet described in the same document, since the position of the doorway is high, when raising a small small animal, the doorway becomes higher than the line of sight, and the animal cannot recognize that there is an doorway there. Even if it can be recognized, the doorway is too high to enter the toilet. The same applies to animals whose physical ability has been reduced due to aging or disease.

  A toilet described in Patent Document 2 is known as a toilet that can be used for a cat that cannot overcome a high side wall, such as a cat with reduced physical ability. In this toilet, instead of forming the entrance with a slope at a low level, the slope is provided with an opening through which sand can fall downward. However, this slope is necessary only when raising a kitten or a cat with reduced physical ability, and is not necessary when raising a healthy healthy cat. Therefore, when raising a healthy healthy cat, the size of the toilet is increased by the amount of the slope.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing still another embodiment of the pet toilet according to the present invention.

  The present invention will be described below based on preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. The pet toilet of the present invention is used for breeding small mammals such as cats and dogs. The pet toilet according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes two members, an outer container 10 and an inner container 20. As shown in the figure, the inner container 20 is arranged in a nested manner inside the outer container 10. Both the outer container 10 and the inner container 20 can be manufactured, for example, by injection molding of synthetic resin.

  The outer container 10 has a substantially rectangular bottom 11 in plan view. A wall 12 is erected on the periphery of the bottom 11. The wall portion 12 is erected over the entire periphery of the bottom portion 11. The wall portion 12 is slightly inclined toward the outside of the outer container 10. The upper end 14 of the wall portion 12 has a shape that warps toward the outside of the outer container 10. The wall part 12 has the planar 1st wall part 12a and 2nd wall part 12b which are opposite. Furthermore, the wall part 12 has the planar 3rd wall part 12c and the 4th wall part 12d which oppose.

  The inner container 20 has a substantially rectangular bottom 21 in plan view. The bottom portion 21 is substantially similar to the bottom portion 11 of the outer container 10 and is smaller than the bottom portion 11. The bottom portion 21 has a spider structure that allows permeation of pet excretory fluid. This hook structure is composed of a grid-like crosspiece 23a and a through hole 23b defined by the crosspiece 23a. A wall portion 22 is erected on the periphery of the bottom portion 21. The wall portion 22 is erected over the entire periphery of the bottom portion 21. The wall portion 22 is slightly inclined toward the outside of the inner container 20. The upper end 24 of the wall portion 22 is shaped to warp toward the outside of the inner container 20. The wall part 22 has the planar 1st wall part 22a and 2nd wall part 22b which oppose. Furthermore, the wall part 22 has the planar 3rd wall part 22c and 4th wall part 22d which oppose.

  In the state in which the inner container 20 is disposed inside the outer container 10, the upper end 24 of the wall portion 22 of the inner container 20 abuts on the upper end 14 of the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10, whereby the inner container 20 is held in the outer container 10 in a nested state. In this state, the bottom portion 21 of the hook structure of the inner container 20 is spaced upward from the bottom portion 11 of the outer container 10. Therefore, a space is formed between the bottom 21 of the inner container 20 and the bottom 11 of the outer container 10. In this space, for example, a mat-like liquid-absorbing material (not shown) can be disposed. The lower surface of the mat-like liquid absorbing material comes into contact with the upper surface of the bottom 11 of the outer container 10. On the bottom 21 of the inner container 20, a granular material (not shown) having a size that does not pass through the opening 23 b of the lion structure provided on the bottom 21 according to the behavior of the target animal is arranged. Can do.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the outer container 10 has a part of the wall portion 12, specifically, a substantially central region in the width direction of the first wall portion 12 a facing downward from the upper end 14 of the first wall portion 12 a. It is cut out in a generally inverted trapezoidal shape. As a result, the first wall portion 12a is provided with an outer low wall forming portion 15 that is a portion having a lower height than other portions of the wall portion 12. The outer low wall forming portion 15 has an upper end 15 a substantially parallel to the upper end 14 of another portion of the wall portion 12. The width of the upper end 15a is 20 to 80% of the width of the first wall portion 12a.

  Similar to the outer container 10, the wall portion 22 of the inner container 20 is also cut away. Specifically, the inner container 20 has a part of the wall portion 22, specifically, a substantially central region in the width direction of the first wall portion 22 a that is substantially downward from the upper end 24 of the first wall portion 22 a. It is cut out in an inverted trapezoidal shape. As a result, the first wall portion 22a is provided with an inner low wall forming portion 25 that is a portion of the wall portion 22 that is lower in height than other portions. The inner low wall forming portion 25 has an upper end 25 a substantially parallel to the upper end 24 of the other part of the wall portion 22. The width of the upper end 25a is 20 to 80% of the width of the first wall portion 22a.

  In order to form a pet toilet using the outer container 10 and the inner container 20 having the above-described configuration, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 3 (a), the outer low wall forming portion 15 and the inner low wall The inner container 20 is arranged inside the outer container 10 so that the position with the forming part 25 is matched. That is, in a state where the inner container 20 is disposed inside the outer container 10, the first wall portion 12 a of the outer container 10 and the first wall portion 22 a of the inner container 20 are opposed to each other. By arranging in this way, as shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 3A, the positions of the outer low wall forming portion 15 and the inner low wall forming portion 25 coincide with each other in the pet toilet 1. A pet entry portion 2 through which a pet can enter the toilet 1 is formed. Since the pet entry part 2 is lower than the wall part 3 in the toilet 1, for example, when raising a small pet, the pet can visually recognize the inside of the toilet 1 through the pet entry part 2. it can. A young pet can enter the toilet 1 through the pet entry part 2. Even in the case of a pet whose physical ability has deteriorated, the pet can enter the toilet 1 through the pet entry portion 2.

  In the toilet 1 in the state shown in FIGS. 2A and 3A, the upper end 15a of the outer low wall forming portion 15 of the outer container 10 and the upper end 25a of the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20 are , At approximately the same position, and more specifically at the same height. However, instead of this, the position of the upper end 25 a of the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20 may be made higher than the position of the upper end 15 a of the outer low wall forming portion 15 of the outer container 10.

  In the toilet 1 in the state shown in FIG. 2A, the width of the outer low side wall portion 15 and the width of the inner low side wall portion 25 are substantially the same. However, instead of this, the width of the outer low wall forming portion 15 may be made wider than the width of the inner low wall forming portion 25, or vice versa. You may make it wider than the width | variety of the wall formation part 15. FIG. The width of the pet entry part 2 in the toilet 1 is determined by the narrower one of the widths of the outer low wall forming part 15 and the inner low wall forming part 25. The ultimate state in which the width of the outer low wall forming portion 15 described above is wider than the width of the inner low wall forming portion 25 is that the height of all the side wall portions of the outer container 10 is set to the inner low wall of the inner container. It is the form made into the same as the height of the formation part 15, or lower than it.

  The toilet 1 in which the pet entry part 2 shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 3 (a) is formed is useful when the pet being raised is young or when the physical ability is reduced. When a healthy pet that has grown using a pet is bred, there is a risk that particulates or the like (not shown) arranged on the bottom 21 of the inner container 20 will be scattered outside through the pet entry portion 2. Therefore, the toilet 1 is provided with wall height adjustment means in which the wall portion 22 of the inner container 20 or the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10 can adjust the height of a part thereof, and breeds healthy healthy pets. When doing so, as shown in FIG.2 (b) and FIG.3 (b), the pet entrance part 2 is obstruct | occluded using a wall height adjustment means. In other words, after the pet grows up, when the physical ability is reduced due to age, the wall portion 22 of the inner container 20 or the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10 may A pet's entrance that forms a low side wall portion whose height is lower than other portions of the wall portion, thereby making it easier for the pet to enter the toilet as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 3 (a). Part 2 is formed.

  Here, any wall height adjustment means may be used as long as the pet entry portion 2 can be formed or closed as necessary. For example, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, a plate-like closing member 30 that is a separate member from the outer container 10 and the inner container 20 is used as the wall height adjustment means. The closing member 30 is detachable from the outer container 10 or the inner container 20. Then, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 3B, the closing member 30 is attached to the outer low wall forming portion 15 of the outer container 10 or the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20, thereby allowing the pet to enter. Block part 2 completely. Therefore, in the toilet 1 of the form shown in FIG.2 (b) and FIG.3 (b), the high wall part 3 will be in the state formed continuously over the perimeter. As a result, even if a grown healthy pet excretes in the toilet 1 and then applies particulate matter to the excreted portion, it is effective that the particulate matter scatters outside the toilet over the wall 3 Is prevented. Conversely, when the pet entry portion 2 shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 3 (a) is formed in the toilet 1 in the state of FIGS. 2 (b) and 3 (b), the closing member 30 is It is removed from the wall of the attached outer container 10 or inner container 20.

  According to the pet toilet 1 of the present embodiment, it can be used from when the pet is young, and the effect of preventing the liquid-absorbing material from scattering can be maintained even after growth. Therefore, the pet toilet 1 according to this embodiment has an advantage that it is not necessary to replace the toilet with the growth of the pet and can be used even when the physical ability is lowered.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the closing member 30 is attached to the inner container 20. That is, the inner container 20 is provided with wall height adjustment means, and the outer container 10 is not provided with wall height adjustment means. In this case, the low side wall portion formed by the wall height adjusting means is the inner low wall forming portion 25. On the contrary, when the inner container 20 does not include the wall height adjusting means and the outer container 10 includes the wall height adjusting means, the low side wall portion formed by the wall height adjusting means. Is the outer low wall forming portion 15.

  In the toilet 1 of the above embodiment, it is preferable to use the thing shown in FIG. The inner container 20 shown in the figure is provided with a rib 26 on the outer surface of a second wall portion 22b that is a wall portion facing the inner low side wall portion 25. A pair of ribs 26 are provided so as to be separated from each other so as to extend in the height direction of the wall portion 22. Each rib 26 is provided so as to be positioned outward in the width direction of the outer low side wall portion 15 provided in the outer container 10 when the inner container 20 is disposed inside the outer container 10. The advantage of providing such a rib 26 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, in the state where the inner container 20 is disposed inside the outer container 10 and the pet entry portion 2 is formed, the ribs 26 provided on the inner container 20 are connected to the side walls of the outer container 20. When the inner container 20 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the second wall portion 12b as a part, the inner container 20 is pushed out to the side opposite to the side wall (second wall portion 22b) provided with the ribs 26. As a result, the upper end 25a of the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20 is close to the outer low wall forming portion 15 of the outer container 10 and between the inner low wall forming portion 25 and the outer low wall forming portion 15. The resulting gap is reduced. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the pet toilet 2 is formed by the closing member 30, it is effective that the particulate matter or the like or the excretory fluid flows down between the two. Is prevented.

  As described above, by providing the rib 26 on the outer surface of the side wall of the inner container 20, the toilet 1 can reduce the gap generated between the outer container 10 and the inner container 20, and this gap is caused. Inconvenience can be eliminated.

  Instead of providing the ribs 26 on the outer surface of the side wall of the inner container 20, the gap generated between the outer container 10 and the inner container 20 can be reduced by adopting the inner container 20 having the form shown in FIG. 5. Inconvenience caused by the occurrence of the gap can be eliminated. In the inner container 20 shown in the figure, a hook 27 is provided on the upper end 24 of the first wall portion 22 a adjacent to the inner low wall forming portion 25. The latch hook 27 is provided integrally with the inner container 20 through a hinge mechanism. The latch hooks 27 are provided at the left and right positions adjacent to the inner low wall forming portion 25. When the latching hook 27 is latched on the upper end 14 of the first wall portion 12a of the outer container 10 in a state where the inner container 20 is disposed inside the outer container 10 as in the embodiment shown in FIG. The upper end 25 a of the forming part 25 is close to the outer low wall forming part 15. Thereby, the gap generated between the upper end 25a of the inner low wall forming portion 25 and the outer low wall forming portion 15 can be reduced.

  FIGS. 6A to 6C show a pet toilet 1 according to another embodiment different from the embodiments described so far. In the toilet 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6A, the inner container 20 has a low wall forming portion 25, which is the same as that of the previous embodiments. On the other hand, the outer container 10 does not have a low wall forming part. Instead, in a state where the inner container 20 is disposed inside the outer container 10, the upper end 24 of the wall portion 22 of the inner container 20 is positioned above the upper end 14 of the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10. It is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, in the state where the inner container 20 is disposed inside the outer container 10, the position of the upper end 14 of the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10 is set to the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20. The pet entry part 2 through which the pet can enter the toilet is formed by making the position substantially the same as or lower than the position of the upper end 25a of the toilet. The toilet 1 in this form is advantageous when raising young pets.

  On the other hand, when raising a grown healthy pet, as shown in FIG. 6C, a closing member 30 that is a separate member from the outer container 10 and the inner container 20 is prepared separately, The pet entry portion 2 is closed by attaching the closing member 30 to the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20. As the closing member 30, the thing similar to the thing of embodiment shown in FIG. 2 mentioned above can be used. Thus, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the wall height adjustment means is provided in the inner container, and is not provided in the outer container, and the low side wall portion formed by the wall height adjustment means. Is the inner low wall forming portion 25.

  As the wall height adjustment means, a closing means 130 as shown in FIG. 7 may be used instead of using the closing member 30 which is a separate member from the outer container 10 and the inner container 20. The closing means 130 shown in FIG. 7 has a connecting portion connected to the wall portion 22 of the inner container 20 and a non-connecting portion that is not connected to the wall portion 22 and can be separated from the wall portion 22. doing.

  Hereinafter, the closing means 130 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the closing means 130 is provided in the inner container as in the embodiment shown in FIG. However, as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, when the height of the wall portion of the outer container and the inner container is formed to the same level, the notch is cut in the same manner as shown in FIGS. The outer container may be provided with a closing means 130 formed by the portion. This also applies to an embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, two pieces that extend downward from the upper end to a part of the wall portion 22 of the inner container 20, specifically, to the central region in the width direction of the first wall portion 22 a. Incisions 28 are provided. Further, a thin linear portion 29 that is substantially parallel to the upper end 24 of the wall portion 22 is formed between the lower end portions of the two cut portions 28, 28. The portion 31 sandwiched between the two cut portions 28 and 28 is rotatable with the thin portion 29 as a hinge. As a result, the closing means 130 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 includes the portion 31 as a non-connection portion and the thin portion 29 as a connection portion.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 8 (a), when the toilet 1 is used for breeding a healthy animal that has grown, a portion 31 (not connected) sandwiched between two cut portions 28, 28 is used. Part) is brought close to the wall part 22, and the closing means 130 is configured as a part of the wall part 22. When used for breeding young animals, the connection between the wall portion 22 and the closing means 130 is maintained by the thin portion 29 (connection portion) as shown in FIGS. 7B and 8B. However, the pet entry portion 2 is formed by separating the non-connection portion from the wall portion 22. In this case, the low side wall portion is formed by the portion 31 sandwiched between the two cut portions 28, 28 being not formed as a part of the wall portion 22 by its rotation. It is the inner low wall formation part 25 which is a site | part whose height is lower than another site | part. In addition, when a connection part is made into a hinge structure like this embodiment, the hinge of a fitting structure can also be employ | adopted instead of a thin part.

  As shown in FIGS. 7B and 8A, when the closing means 130 is connected to the lower part of the wall, the closing means 130 is tilted toward the outside of the container. Specifically, the portion 31 sandwiched between the two cut portions 28 and 28 is rotated toward the outside of the container using the thin portion 29 as a hinge. If it does in this way, since the obstruction | occlusion means 130 can be used as a slope for guiding an animal toward the pet approach part 2, it is suitable with respect to the animal with weak physical ability. In particular, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the two cuts 28, 28 extend so as to approach each other as they go downward, whereby a portion 31 sandwiched between the cuts 28, 28 is It is formed in a downward trapezoidal shape. By adopting such a shape, the slope for guiding pets can be easily stabilized, and the pet can easily enter the toilet through the slope.

  Further, the connecting means between the closing means 130 and the container may be a sliding means or an upward flipping means (so-called gull wing type) instead of the hinge structure provided in the lower part of the wall.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the toilet 1 of the form shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, ribs similar to those shown in FIG. 4 are provided on the outer surface of the wall portion 22 b facing the inner low wall forming portion 25 in the inner container 20. It may be done. However, the rib 26 shown in FIG. 9 is provided in the lower part of the wall part 22b of the inner container 20 corresponding to the height of the wall part 12 of the outer container 10. As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the rib 26 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10 so that the upper end 25a of the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20 becomes the outer container. 10, the gap formed between the upper end 25 a of the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20 and the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10 is reduced. Thereby, the stability of the slope formed by rotating the closing means 130 is improved, and the slope is less likely to wobble when the pet walks.

  7 and 8, the height of the upper end 14 of the wall 12 of the outer container 10 is equal to or lower than the height of the upper end 25a of the low side wall formed in the inner container. Even in this case, as shown in FIG. 10, the gap generated between the upper end of the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20 and the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10 can be reduced by using the retaining hook 27. Is possible. The latching hook 27 shown in FIG. 10 is formed in a relatively long shape reflecting the difference in height between the wall portion 22 of the inner container 20 and the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10. The latch hook 27 shown in FIG. By reducing the gap between the upper end of the inner low wall forming portion 25 of the inner container 20 and the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10 by reducing the hook 27 on the upper end 14 of the wall portion 12 of the outer container 10. Can achieve the same effect as described above.
