Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a toilet for pets, and more particularly to a toilet for pets to which sheets can be removably attached.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, breeding dogs and cats indoors has become widespread. As described above, when breeding pet animals indoors, disposal of excrement becomes a problem. Therefore, the applicant of the present invention has devised various toilets for pet animals that can easily treat excrement with sheets.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-29019 discloses, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, “for a dog that is composed of a toilet floor 102 on which sheets 104 are laid and used, and a peripheral wall 103 surrounding the sheets. In the toilet 101, a sliding body 110 that is slidable in the vertical direction of the peripheral wall 103 is formed on two opposite peripheral edges inside the peripheral wall 103, and the lower end edge of the sliding body 110 is laid on the toilet floor. A dog toilet in which a sheet pressing portion 117 for pressing the sheet is formed, and fixing means for fixing the position of the sliding body is formed on the peripheral edge of the sliding body while the sheet pressing portion 117 presses the sheet. Is disclosed.

The dog toilet constructed as described above uses the fixing means that pushes down the sliding body 110 and forms the sliding body 110 on the periphery of the sliding body 110 at the position where the sheets pressing portion 117 presses the sheets on the toilet floor. And fix it. When the sheets are replaced, the fixing means is released and the sliding body 110 is slid upward, so that the sheets pressing portion 117 is separated from the sheets and the sheets are opened.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Considering the case where dog urine adheres to the peripheral wall 103, the urine flows downward along the peripheral wall 103. In the above-mentioned conventional dog toilet 101, since the toilet floor 102 and the peripheral wall are integrally formed, the urine flowing along the peripheral wall 103 does not flow onto the sheet 104, but the lower side of the sheet 104. Wrap around. Although sheets which have been widely marketed in recent years have a water-absorptive sheet on the upper part of the sheet and a waterproof sheet on the lower part thereof, although not shown, when the sheet is adopted in the dog toilet 101, The urine that wraps around the underside of the sheets will settle in the toilet floor 102 without being supplied with water. In addition, the urine that has traveled along the peripheral wall with which the sheet pressing portion is in contact will enter between the sheet pressing portion and the peripheral wall. That is, the urine remains attached on the contact surface between the sheet pressing portion and the peripheral wall. The above is not so pleasing in terms of hygiene, and since all of the toilet floor 102, the side wall 103, and the sliding body 110 have to be wiped when cleaning, the work is required. It tended to be complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary toilet for pets, in which the sheets can be easily replaced.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, a pet animal toilet according to the first aspect of the present invention is a plastic plate-shaped tray and a frame shape that is detachably attached to the upper part of the tray and adapted to the periphery of the tray. And a plastic upper frame having a peripheral wall, and the entire circumference of the sheet laid on the upper part of the tray is sandwiched and fixed by the upper peripheral edge of the tray and the lower peripheral edge of the upper frame.

In the pet animal toilet according to the second invention, the inner wall surface of the peripheral wall of the upper frame is directly raised from the sheet surface.

In the pet animal toilet according to the third aspect, the tray and the upper frame are connected by a buckle.

[0010]

In the first invention, the periphery of the sheet laid on the upper surface of the tray is held by the tray upper surface peripheral edge and the upper frame lower peripheral edge. Therefore, since the periphery of the sheets is fixed, the sheets do not shift or come off. And when replacing the sheets, it is only necessary to remove the upper frame from the tray and then remove the sheets. At this time, since the sheets were laid on the upper surface of the tray, only the upper frame had to be cleaned. Since the upper frame is made of plastic, it is lightweight and does not interfere with carrying.

In the second invention, the dirt attached to the peripheral wall can flow down the wall directly onto the sheet.

According to the third invention, the tray and the upper frame can be firmly fixed, and furthermore, the mounting / removing work is easy.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a toilet for pets according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a pet animal toilet 1 of this embodiment, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof, and FIG. 3 to FIG. Is. The pet animal toilet 1 has a tray 2 made of a plastic rectangular plate, and is detachably attached to the upper portion of the tray 2, which is also made of a plastic upper frame 3, a tray 2 and an upper frame 3. Is roughly composed of two buckles 4 that firmly bond the two to each other in the longitudinal direction and a water-absorbent sheet 5 laid on the upper surface of the tray 2.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the tray 2 has a mounting surface 11 on which the sheets 5 are mounted on the top. Around the mounting surface 11, a total of twelve projections 12 projecting upward from the mounting surface 11 and having sharp tips are formed.

In addition, a ridge 13 that is bulged upward is formed on the peripheral edge of the tray 2, and a peripheral flange 14 that extends downward from the outside of the ridge 13 in a hakama shape is formed. The peripheral edge flange 14 is formed with a stepped portion 14a which is bent outward in the horizontal direction so that an outer peripheral edge flange of an upper frame, which will be described later, abuts. Further, at the center of both ends of the peripheral flange 14 in the lengthwise direction, a grip portion 15 is formed in a notched state over a predetermined length. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower end 15a of the handle portion 15 is engaged with the engagement piece 4a of the buckle 4.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the upper frame 3 has a frame shape having an opening 21 in the center that fits the peripheral edge of the tray 2. A peripheral wall 22 extending upward is formed on the upper frame 3. The peripheral wall 22 has a cross-sectional shape that is bent into a steep mountain shape, has an opening on the front side shown in FIG. 1, and the peripheral wall 22 continuously extends to both ends of the opening. The peripheral wall 22 is integrally formed below the opening through the frame plate portion 23a, and the opening serves as an entrance / exit 23 for the pet animal to enter and exit.

The outer lower edge of the upper frame 3 is formed with an outer peripheral flange 24 that abuts against the stepped portion 14 a of the peripheral flange 14 of the tray 2 from above. Buckle receiving portions 25 having a pair of pivot holes 25a for pivotally supporting a pivot shaft (not shown) of the buckle 4 are formed at both ends of the upper frame 3 in the longitudinal direction.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, a substantially vertical inner peripheral edge flange 26 that abuts the surface of the sheet 5 is formed at the inner lower end of the upper frame 3 over the entire circumference of the opening. Then, an inclined surface 27 that continuously extends from the inner peripheral flange 26 and that slopes in the expansion direction is formed on the upper portion of the inner peripheral flange 26 of the peripheral wall 22. 28 is formed. That is, the inner wall surface 22 a of the peripheral wall 22 is composed of the inner peripheral flange 26, the inclined surface 27, and the inclined surface 28.

Then, on the back side of the inner peripheral flange 26 and the inclined surface 27, as shown in FIG. 12, there are provided projection receiving portions 29 for receiving the projections 12 from above in a total position corresponding to the projections 12. It is formed at 12 places.

The usage procedure of the pet animal toilet 1 configured as described above will be described below. When using the pet animal toilet 1, first, the sheets 5 are attached to the pet animal toilet 1. The procedure is to rotate the two buckles 5 upward and lift the upper frame 3 as it is. The upper frame 3 is once placed on the side, and the sheet 5 is placed on the placing surface 11 of the tray 2. Next, the upper frame 3 is placed from above the tray 2. Then, the two buckles 4 are rotated downward to firmly connect the tray 2 and the upper frame 3 to each other. At this time, the peripheral edge of the sheet 5 is sandwiched and fixed by the mounting surface 11 and the inner peripheral flange. Further, since the projection receiving portion 29 formed on the upper frame 3 receives the projection 12 of the tray 2 from above, the sheet 5 is firmly fixed at this portion as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. The Rukoto.

Next, the procedure for replacing the set sheet 5 is the same as the case where the sheet 5 is set, but detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the exchange of the sheets 5 is very easy because it is only a work of attaching / removing the upper frame 3 to / from the tray 2, and moreover, the entire circumference of the attached sheets 5 can be placed on the sheet. Since the surface 11 and the inner peripheral flange 26 sandwich and fix the surface 11, they are not displaced or come off.

Further, when a pet animal (not shown) wears what is called, filth (mainly urine) may adhere to the inner wall surface 22a of the peripheral wall 22. In this case, in the present invention, since the inner wall surface 22a abuts on the sheet 5 and the wall surface is steep, the attached dirt can flow down on the sheet 5. This means that a slight amount of dirt is attached only to the upper frame 3. Therefore, when cleaning the toilet 1, it is possible to maintain the cleanliness by cleaning only the upper frame 3 instead of cleaning the whole.

Further, since the tray 2 and the upper frame 3 are firmly fixed by the buckle 4, even if a pet animal (not shown) unexpectedly collides with the peripheral wall 22, the upper frame 3 can be removed from the tray 2. There is no. Also, the work of attaching / removing the upper frame 3 can be easily performed.

[0026]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the companion animal toilet of the first invention, the exchange of the sheets is very easy because the work of attaching and detaching the upper frame to and from the tray is very easy. The entire circumference is pinched and fixed by the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the tray and the peripheral edge of the upper frame, so that it does not slip or come off. Therefore, it can be used safely.

According to the toilet for pet animals of the second invention, since the inner wall surface of the peripheral wall is in contact with the sheets, the attached dirt can flow down onto the sheets. When cleaning this toilet, it is possible to maintain the cleanliness by cleaning only the upper frame, not the whole. Therefore, the cleaning work can be done easily and it is hygienic.

According to the companion animal toilet of the third invention, since the tray and the upper frame are firmly fixed by the buckle, even if a companion animal (not shown) suddenly collides with the peripheral wall, The top frame does not come off the tray. Also, the work of attaching and removing the upper frame can be easily performed. This is very beneficial to the user.
