[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field of invention]

 The present invention is a storage container for a pet deodorant, specifically, a pet deodorant, a fragrance, a deodorant, etc. used for a pet toilet for small animals that can be kept in a house, such as a dog or a cat. For containers.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When small animals such as dogs and cats are kept in the house, the biggest problems are the treatment and smell of the excrement of pets, and pet toilets that can be used indoors have been provided.

[0003] Some pets can inform their owners of defecation, but they must be disciplined firmly. Considering the cost and time, the defecation of pets is never completed. Not easy. We hear that some pets have received rigorous training and have completed their pursuits in the same flush toilets as humans, and then can operate the flush toilet lever to stop defecation by themselves. Pets are extremely rare, and many pets do not usually inform their owners of bowel movements.

Accordingly, a pet toilet disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-47351 has appeared. According to the pet toilet described in this publication, a handle is attached to the ceiling of the toilet so that it can be carried. In the vicinity of the handle, a deodorant storage chamber having an opening / closing lid and an appropriate transparent space such as a slit or a small hole is provided on the outer surface of the ceiling so as to allow air to flow through the toilet. By opening and closing the opening and closing cover of the deodorant storage room, the deodorant can be stored in the deodorant storage room, and the deodorant whose deodorizing effect has been reduced can be replaced with a new one. The deodorant storage room was installed on the ceiling of the toilet because the odor rises.

[0005]

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the pet toilet described in this publication, a deodorant storage room is provided near the handle provided on the ceiling of the pet toilet, so that the handle absorbs the deodorant. Some people are worried that the smell that was being transferred may shift. Also, recent pet toilets are very fashionable, and at first glance many are not very pet toilets. For this reason, some people use pet restrooms as baskets for moving pets. However, in this case, since the deodorant is installed at the ceiling of the pet toilet, the deodorant absorbs urine generated by the pet during the movement, and the smell is leaking even if it does not actually leak They may be worried that this may be the case, and may have a feeling of resistance to a pet toilet with such a structure.

[0006] Also, pet toilets are usually made of synthetic resin such as plastic, and a mold is used for manufacturing the toilet. However, if a deodorant storage room is provided on the ceiling of the toilet, the mold is only that much. It gets complicated. If the mold becomes complicated, the cost will increase accordingly.

The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and a problem to be solved is to devise a storage container for a pet deodorant used for a pet toilet, thereby improving the pet deodorant. A technical issue is to provide a sufficient deodorizing effect without installing a deodorant storage room on the toilet ceiling, and to simplify the mold structure used in the manufacture of pet toilets.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings based on the illustrated embodiments.

Basic Structure of Pet Deodorant Storage Container (See FIGS. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8) The pet deodorant storage container 1 is made of synthetic resin, A storage box 3 for storing the odorant 2 and having an opening only at one end on the upper side, and a closing lid 7 for closing the opening 5 of the storage box 3 but ensuring the communication with the outside air in the storage box 3; A locking member 10 is provided for engaging the pet toilet 8 so that these members 3 and 7 can be arranged inside the pet toilet 8.

The storage box 3 containing the pet deodorant 2 is covered with the closing lid 7, which is referred to as a pet deodorant storage device 12. Therefore, it can be said that the pet deodorant storage device 12 can be disposed inside the pet toilet 8 via the locking body 10.

Storage Box 3 (FIGS. 1, 2, 5 to 14) The storage box 3 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. As described above, the storage box 3 is open at the top and has a rectangular opening 5, so that the entire shape is open at one end. It can be said that the other end is closed. The storage box 3 is made of a synthetic resin or a transparent plastic so that the pet deodorant 2 to be put in the storage box 3 can be seen from the outside. The rectangular opening 5 of the storage box 3 has a base wall portion 16 having an L-shaped cross section in a circle around the peripheral wall at a position slightly lower from the opening end 14 thereof.

The base wall portion 16 has a central portion of the pair of fore-edge edges 18, 18 which protrudes in a rectangular shape to form protrusions 20, 20, and a pair of longitudinal edges 22, 22 of the base wall portion 16. On one side, a slit 24 is formed at the center in the longitudinal direction.

The protruding portions 20, 20 and the slit 24 are for assembling the closing lid 7 and the locking body 10 to the storage box 3, respectively.

Closure lid 7 (FIGS. 1, 2, 5, to 8, 15 to 20) The closure lid 7 also has a rectangular dome shape because it closes the rectangular opening 5 of the storage box 3. The rectangular opening 25 is slightly larger than the rectangular opening 5 of the storage box 3, and has a shape as if a rounded corner is provided with a radius. The closing lid 7 is also made of synthetic resin or opaque plastic, and its pair of fore-edge edges 26, 26 is engaged with the protrusions 20, 20 provided on the fore-edge edges 18, 18 of the storage box 3. It has engaging members 28 and 28 in a mating relationship. Further, a plurality of ribs 30, 30,... Extending vertically in the inner peripheral surface 7c and arranged at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction are provided inside the closing lid 7. The ribs 30a, 30a among the plurality of ribs 30, 30,... Come into contact with the base wall portion 16 of the storage box 3, and thereby the rectangular opening 5 and the closing lid 7 of the storage box 3 are formed. A certain space S1 can be secured between the peripheral surface 7c and the peripheral surface 7c.

As described above, the rectangular opening 25 of the closing lid 7 is slightly larger than the rectangular opening 5 of the storage box 3, and the ribs 30 a and 30 a of the rib 30 of the closing lid 7 are When the storage box 3 is closed by the closing lid 7, the lower edge 7 a of the closing lid 7 spreads below the rectangular opening 5 of the storage box 3 so as to form an eave shape of the house. become. Also, the rectangular opening 5 of the storage box 3 and the rectangular opening 25 of the closing lid 7 are separated. Since the plurality of ribs 30 are spaced apart from each other at an appropriate interval, the space between the rectangular opening 5 of the storage box 3 and the rectangular opening 25 of the closing lid 7 is defined by the rib 30 for air circulation. A plurality of transparent spaces 34 can be formed. Air flows between the inside of the storage box 3 and the space of the pet toilet 8 via the plurality of air circulation gaps 34, 34,....

At first glance, the locking body 10 is substantially S-shaped at first glance. More specifically, it comprises one smaller bent portion 36 and the other larger bent portion 38. Both of the bent portions 36 and 38 function as engagement portions for engaging the pet deodorant container 12 containing the pet deodorant 2 with the edge 8a of the pet toilet 8. For this purpose, the locking body 10 needs to be integrated with the pet deodorant storage device 12, and the slit 2 of the storage box 3, which is a component of the pet deodorant storage device 12, is therefore required. 4 are formed on both the bent portion 36 and the bent portion 38. The fitting section 40 has a key-shaped cross section and penetrates the slit 24. Therefore, the slit 24 can be referred to as a locking through hole. The fitting portion 40 fitted to the slit 24 is prevented from coming off unless an external force is actively applied thereto. The one bent portion 36 and the other bent portion 38 of the locking body 10 are open to the end.

Note that an inner lid 43 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 6 may be provided between the storage box 3 and the closing lid 7.

[0033] Even if the pet deodorant 2 is put through the rectangular opening 5 of the storage box 3 and is closed with the closing lid 7, the closing lid 7 ensures that circulation with the outside air is ensured. It does not hinder the deodorizing function of the pet deodorant 2.

Further, since the pet deodorant storage device 12 including the pet deodorant 2 can be disposed inside the pet toilet 8 by the locking member 10, the outer surface of the pet toilet 8 can be placed on the outer surface of the conventional pet toilet 8. There is no need to provide a deodorant storage room. Therefore, when the pet toilet 8 is molded with synthetic resin, the mold structure can be simplified. Therefore, the cost of the mold can be significantly reduced, and the price of the pet toilet 8 can be reduced.

In the locking body 10, the fitting portions 40 of the bent portions 36 and 38, which are the ends on either side, are also locked in the slit 24 of the storage box 3. Therefore, although there is only one locking body, it is the same as having two types of locking bodies depending on the difference in the form in which it is attached to the pet deodorant storage device 12. Therefore, when the edge of the pet toilet is thick, it is sufficient to lock the locking body 10 to the pet deodorant storage device 12 so that the side of the large bent portion 38 functions as an engaging portion. The case where the smaller bent portion 36 functions as the engaging portion is the case where the edge 8a of the pet toilet 8 is thin.

Furthermore, since the small bent portion 36 and the large bent portion 38 of the locking body 10 are opened wide, the catch on the edge 8 a of the pet toilet 8 can be easily performed.

Then, even if pet's small water or stool comes down from above in the storage container 1 of the pet deodorant 2, the lower part of the closing lid 7 below the opening 5 of the storage box 3 is located. Since the edge 7a prevents the waste from entering the storage box 3, the deodorant 2 contained in the storage box 3 can be prevented from being stained. Further, since a gap 34 for air circulation is formed between the lower edge 7a of the closing lid 7 and the opening 5 of the storage box 3, the deodorant 2 contained in the storage box 3 is made of fragrance. At this time, the fragrance of the fragrance 2 fills the pet toilet 8 through the gaps 34, 34. When the deodorant 2 is a deodorant, stool and air containing urine and other odors that fill the pet toilet 8 are guided through the gaps 34, 34, and enter the storage box 3. The malodor is deodorized by the deodorant contained therein.

A plurality of ribs 30 extending vertically in the inner peripheral surface 7 c of the closing lid 7 and arranged at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction are provided inside the closing lid 7. Are provided so as to correspond to the plurality of ribs 30, 30. When the ribs 30, 30... Function as partitions in the closing lid 7, if the deodorant 2 is a fragrance, the Since a good fragrance of the medicine can be emitted from the periphery of the storage container 1, the fragrance can be uniformly distributed in the pet toilet 8. For this reason, the deodorizing effect can be enhanced. Further, when the deodorant 2 is a deodorant, the odor in the pet toilet 8 is absorbed from around the storage container 1, so that the odor in the pet toilet 8 can be uniformly deodorized. For this reason, the deodorizing effect can be enhanced.

[0039]
