[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cat litter member, a cat litter box using the cat litter member, and a cat litter member storage box, and more particularly to a cat litter member that is clean and easy to handle, and a cat litter and cat litter member container box using the cat litter member.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the fecal urine treatment of cats kept at home, normally, the fecal urine that has been used up is sequentially discarded in a simple type toilet container installed for cats. In such a cat litter, conventionally, in consideration of cleanliness, a member such as a "cat sand" for absorbing excrement of urine, an anti-scattering material, and a deodorant material is laid in a toilet container made of plastic or the like. . Zeolite (ore), coke, coffee grounds, paper, and processed wood products are used as this cat sand. Zeolites and cokes are the most popular materials, but since they are ores, there is a problem in disposal after use. In other words, these ore materials cannot be discarded as trash, and it is troublesome to bury them in the soil, which poses a problem in terms of ring preservation. Coffee grounds, paper materials, and processed wood products are materials made by dissolving and processing coffee grounds, paper materials, and wood, and compressing them to make them water-absorbent granules, which can be incinerated after use.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in the conventional cat litter, a relatively hard granular material made of various materials is used as the cat sand material, but it has some practical problems.

That is, a cat has a habit of stroking the ground with its feet after adding a cat, and since the cat sand material as described above is a relatively hard and small grain, these small cat sand materials are the meat of the cat's paw. If the cat gets between the balls and leaves the cat litter container as it is, the cat sand that gets between the meat balls scatters and scatters on the floor, thus soiling the floor.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to prevent cat feet from entering the paws, to keep the cat sand member clean, easy to dispose of, and easy to handle, and a cat litter and cat sand member using the same. To provide a storage box.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the cat litter member according to the present invention comprises a strip-shaped paper member and a member obtained by mixing curled or noodle-shaped wood members at a predetermined ratio. The cat litter can be laid on the basic cat sand placed at the bottom of the container to form a cat litter box. In addition, the cat sand member storage box according to the present invention stores the cat sand member, or stores a plurality of lumps as a lump of a predetermined amount in the box, and the lumps are respectively lumped through the openings provided at the top of the box. The cat sand member can be taken out.

Here, the ratio of the paper member may be 60 to 70% of the whole, and the ratio of the wooden member may be 40 to 30% of the whole.

[0008]

[Embodiment of device]

 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention lays the same cat sand as the basic cat sand 2 on the bottom of the toilet container 1 of the conventional cat litter, and cuts it into strips of paper and wood. The mixing member 3 is placed. Recycled paper such as waste paper is used as the paper material to cut resources into strips with a width of 1.0 to 1.5 cm and a length of 30 to 40 cm in order to save resources and reduce costs. The strip-shaped paper material is preferably curled, and can be easily curled by, for example, rapidly punching it in the length direction by hand. In addition, for example, cypress is used as wood, and the remaining wood part (usually the peripheral edge) that is cut out from one cypress as a building member is finely cut into curls or noodles. You can

Such a paper member and a wooden member are mixed at an appropriate ratio and placed on the basic cat sand. The ratio of the paper member and the wood member to the whole can be 60 to 70% for the paper member and 30 to 40% for the wood member.

Auxiliary cat sand as a mixture of paper members and wood members as described above absorbs human excrement due to the water absorbency and hygroscopicity of both members, and phytoncide components are radiated from wood members such as cypress and the like. It also promotes a relaxing effect and antibacterial effect, and also has a deodorizing effect and an effect of keeping fleas and mites away. Therefore, the smell of the feces and urine of a cat, which is particularly strong, is suppressed by the aromatic property of the cypress, and antibacterial properties are also obtained.

The paper member and the wood member as the above-mentioned auxiliary cat sand are strip-shaped, curled or noodle-shaped, and since they are in a mixed state, they do not enter between the paws of the cat's paw. , Even if the cat swallows it after adding it, the auxiliary cat sand placed underneath (of course, the basic cat sand) does not scatter out of the toilet container, so there is no concern about soiling the floor. Absent.

In the present embodiment, since the surface of the basic cat sand 2 is covered almost entirely by the auxiliary cat sand 3 having a relatively thick layer, the basic cat sand 2 is less likely to be soiled with feces and urine. Since it is only necessary to replace the dirty auxiliary cat sand, it is extremely easy to handle. Since the supplementary cat sand component is paper or wood, it is extremely easy to incinerate it, and even if an ore such as zeolite or coke is used as the basic cat sand component, the recovery of the waste is much greater than before. Since the number is extremely small, the complexity of handling is remarkably eliminated.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the paper member and the wood member of the present invention are used as auxiliary cat litter laid on top of basic cat litter such as zeolite, cokes, coffee grounds, etc. will be described. However, by using these as the basic cat sand, environmental problems and handling problems are eliminated.

As described above, the cat litter member according to the present invention is a mixture of strip-shaped paper members and curled or noodle-shaped wooden members, and is laid in a cat litter container. An embodiment that facilitates replacement of a dirty cat litter member is shown in FIG.

In FIG. 2, the amount of the cat litter member 20 in which the paper member and the wood member according to the present invention are mixed in a box 10 such as a tissue paper box is required to be placed once in the toilet container. Only by pre-separating and storing multiple lumps as a lump, and taking out this lump by hand from the opening hole provided in the upper center of the box 10, a new cat sand member can be taken out very easily, It can be replaced with a dirty cat litter. In addition, if the above-mentioned lumps are stacked, compressed, taken out, and then loosened by hand, it is possible to more efficiently store the cat litter member in the box. By storing the cat sand member in such a box and making it easy to take out a fixed amount, it becomes easy to display the item in the store and to arrange it easily.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the auxiliary cat sand of the present invention does not enter between the paws of the cat's paws, and even if the cat swirls with its feet after putting it on, the auxiliary cat sand placed below it. Will not scatter out of the toilet container and the floor will be clean. In addition, the cat sand storage box of the present invention allows the necessary amount to be easily taken out by hand from the opening hole, which makes replacement work with a dirty cat sand member extremely easy.
