Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an insole sheet for a pet toilet that is used to treat the excrement of pets kept indoors. More particularly, the present invention relates to an insole sheet for a pet toilet that prevents the pet toilet container from becoming dirty and is easy to use.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Pet toilets are used to handle the excrement of pets such as cats kept in the home. For example, as a pet toilet, a small box-shaped container is used in which grain-shaped so-called cat sand or newspaper is shredded. When the pet excretes in the container, the excrement is absorbed or dammed up by what is spread in the container. There are a variety of things that can be spread in containers depending on the difference in absorbency and the presence or absence of the property of solidifying into dumplings. In addition, when used in a toilet such as a cat, the cat sand has a role of satisfying the physiological desire of so-called “sanding”. Cats have a habit of excreting and then filling their excrement with sand. This is "sanding".
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when using cat sand or the like, it takes time and effort to dispose of dirty items after pets excrete. Moreover, when excrement is not completely absorbed or clogged with cat sand etc., a container may become dirty with excrement. Furthermore, when cat sand is used, the container and its surroundings may become dirty with the sand.
[0004]
The objective of this invention is providing the insole sheet | seat for pet toilets which can be used and discarded easily and can prevent the container for pet toilets from becoming dirty.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an insole sheet for a pet toilet that can satisfy the physiological desire to be performed after excretion such as “sanding” by a cat or the like.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The conventional problems and purposes described above consist of a laminated sheet in which a nonwoven fabric layer and a liquid-impervious sheet layer are stacked,
The nonwoven fabric layer can be transformed from a planar shape folded inward to a three-dimensional shape,
In the three-dimensional shape, the bottom surface of the quadrilateral, and four sides surrounding the four sides, and an opening, a box body in which the non-woven fabric layer is directed to the inner surface is formed,
The inner surface of the box body, the absorbent material is achieved by the pet insole sheet toilet characterized that you have joined.
[0006]
The pet toilet insole sheet of the present invention is used by being laid inside a pet toilet container. Inside the insole sheet, absorbent small pieces such as cat sand and newspaper can be used. When pets excrete, even if these absorbent pieces do not absorb the excrement, the outside of the insole sheet is a liquid-impervious sheet layer and therefore leaks to the outside of the insole sheet. There is nothing. Moreover, since the insole sheet is a box when it becomes a three-dimensional shape, excrement scattered on the side surface of the toilet container is not leaked to the outside. Therefore, the toilet container is not soiled. Further, when the insole sheet is discarded at the time of cleaning, the absorbent pieces placed inside the insole sheet can be discarded together, so that the toilet can be easily cleaned. In addition, you may use cat sand, such as bentonite, in this box. Moreover, it is flat at the time of sale or in storage, and can be folded. Therefore, it can be handled compactly.
[0007]
The laminated sheet forming the insole sheet for a pet toilet according to the present invention is square, and in the planar shape, both side portions of the laminated sheet are bent toward the center line of the sheet, and the sheet It is a planar shape where inner surfaces are joined together, and the both side portions and the joined both end portions form the four side surfaces to form a box by spreading the both side portions outward from the center line. It is preferable. When the insole sheet is formed in this manner, the box can be formed by a simple operation of spreading both side portions outward with respect to the center line. Therefore, anyone can easily lay on the toilet container. Moreover, since it can fold along a crease | fold when discarding, it can be discarded simply and as a small garbage.
[0008]
This onset Ming pet insole sheet in a toilet advance absorbent material on the inside of the box when the planar shape is bonded. Therefore, if the insole sheet is spread at the time of use without newly putting a small piece of the absorber inside the insole sheet, it can be used immediately. In addition, it can satisfy the physiological desire of so-called “sanding” performed by cats after excretion.

It is a perspective view which shows a state. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the pet insole sheet of the present invention is a box.
[0010]
An example of a method for forming the insole sheet for a pet toilet according to the present invention will be described below. The laminated sheet 10 forming the pet toilet insole sheet of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is formed in a rectangular or square shape by laminating a nonwoven fabric layer 1 on a liquid-impermeable sheet layer 2. A line crossing substantially the center of the laminated sheet 10 is defined as a center line 3.
Both side portions 4a and 4b of the laminated sheet 10 are bent toward the center line 3 by bending lines 5a and 5b. At this time, the nonwoven fabric layer 1 is bent so as to face inward. The planar laminated sheet 10 thus obtained is shown in FIG.
[0011]
The planar laminated sheet 10 shown in FIG. 2 (A) is joined by joining the inner surfaces of the laminated sheet 10 that overlap at both ends 6a, 6a, 6b, 6b of the folded side parts 4a, 4b. , 7c, 7d are formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, joint lines 8a, 8b, 8c, and 8d extending obliquely from the folding lines 5a and 5b toward the end portions 3a and 3b of the center line 3 are formed.
In addition, at both end portions 6a, 6a, 6b, 6b of both side portions 4a, 4b, bending lines 5a, 5b, joint portions 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, and joint lines 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d extending obliquely, The inner surfaces of the laminated sheet 10 may be joined to each other on the entire inner surface of the triangular region surrounded by.
[0012]
At the time of sale or storage, the planar shape shown in FIG. 2 (A) is further folded along folding lines 9a and 9b to form a substantially square shape shown in FIG. 2 (B).
At the time of use, the state of FIG. 2 (A) is expanded to the state of FIG. 2 (B), and both sides 4a and 4b are expanded in the direction of arrow (i), that is, both sides 4a and 4b are center lines. A three-dimensional box as shown in FIG. 3 is formed by spreading from 3 toward the outside.
At this time, if diagonal joint lines 8a, 8b, 8c, and 8d are formed at both ends 6a and 6b of the bent portion, a box body is likely to be formed when expanded in the direction of arrow (i). . That is, when the both side portions 4a and 4b are spread in the direction of the arrow (i), the spread is stopped by the oblique joining lines 8a, 8b, 8c and 8d, and the both side portions 4a and 4b and the joined both end portions 6a, The four side surfaces of the box are formed by 6b. Therefore, a well-shaped box is easily formed.
The pet toilet insole sheet 20 having a three-dimensional shape is a box having a bottom surface 12 and side surfaces 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d surrounding the four sides as shown in FIG. is there. The insole sheet 20 has the nonwoven fabric layer 1 on the inner side 13 and the liquid-impermeable sheet layer 2 on the outer side 14. Moreover, many nonwoven fabric layers may be overlaid only on the bottom surface 12 of the insole sheet 20.
[0013]
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a usage pattern of the insole sheet for a pet toilet according to the present invention.
The pet toilet insole sheet 20 of the present invention is used, for example, by being laid inside a box-like toilet container 30 as shown in FIG. Moreover, it is preferable to use it in the state in which the several absorbent small piece 31 was put in the insole sheet | seat 20 in order to absorb excrement. This also plays a role in satisfying the physiological desire of cats to “sand”.
In addition, the pet toilet insole sheet 20 of the present invention has a cross section taken along line BB in FIG. 5A in a state in which a plurality of pieces 31 are stored in advance as an absorbent material inside the insole sheet 20. It is preferable to be folded and sold as shown in FIG. If the small pieces 31 are stored in advance, even if the small pieces of the absorbent body are not newly put inside the insole sheet 20, they can be used immediately if the insole sheet is spread at the time of use. Even in such a form, the size is compact and convenient to carry.
[0014]
When the pet excretes on the insole sheet 20, it is absorbed by the small pieces 31 of the plurality of absorbent bodies on the inner side 13. And even if there is excrement that could not be absorbed or excrement that splattered sideways, the insole sheet 20 of the present invention does not leak into the toilet container 30. Therefore, the toilet container 30 is not soiled. Further, when the toilet is cleaned, a plurality of absorbent bodies on the inner side 13 can be discarded together.
[0015]
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable that the joining means 32 which joins the insole sheet | seat 20 to the toilet container 30 is provided in the opening part side of the side surface of the insole sheet | seat 20 of this invention. By providing the joining means 32, the insole sheet 20 can be reliably held in the toilet container 30. This joining means 32 is preferably provided on the side surfaces 11b and 11d of the insole sheet shown in FIG. Moreover, you may provide in all the side surfaces 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d. The joining means 13 is, for example, an adhesive tape. The size of one joining means varies depending on the joining force (adhesive force), but it is sufficient if it is about 2 cm × 2 cm.
[0016]
As the nonwoven fabric layer 1, any of wet nonwoven fabric, dry nonwoven fabric, spunlace, spunbond, melt blown, needle punch, and the like can be used. Among these, spunlace nonwoven fabric is preferable because of its strength. The spunlace nonwoven fabric is formed from water-absorbing rayon or the like. Alternatively, it is formed from a water-absorbing fiber such as rayon fiber and the synthetic fiber. If a non-woven fabric made of water-absorbing fibers is used, it can be absorbed by the non-woven fabric as long as the excrement is scattered. Moreover, in order to give a hygienic impression to a person, the nonwoven fabric colored in blue etc. can be used.
[0017]
The liquid-impervious sheet layer 2 may be anything as long as it does not allow liquid to permeate, and is, for example, a polyethylene (PE) film or a vinyl sheet.
[0018]
The nonwoven fabric layer 1 and the liquid-impermeable sheet layer 2 are laminated one by one or a large number to form a laminated sheet 10. The absorbent material laid in the insole sheet in which the layers constituting the laminated sheet 10 are bonded together entirely or partially with an adhesive or the like is generally assumed to have water absorption, for example, polyacrylic acid , Polyvinyl alcohol, maleic anhydride and other addition polymers, polyethers, polymers represented by condensation systems, starch-based, cellulose-based and other polysaccharides, collagen and other superabsorbent resins, pulp, Nonwoven fabrics containing absorbent fibers can be used.
[0019]
These absorptive materials are preferably lightly joined to the bottom surface 12 of the insole sheet 20 so that the cat is satisfied when the cat “sands”. For example, when the absorbent material is made of pulp, tissue, olefinic fiber, hydrophilic treated fiber, rayon, etc., these materials are sprayed with water and then pressed into an insole sheet. Can be joined lightly. However, it is preferable to join them to such an extent that they can be loosened when they are scratched by a cat or the like when "sanded".
[0020]
Moreover, when an absorptive material consists of several absorptive small pieces 31, it is preferable that this small piece 31 is formed with the nonwoven fabric. It is light and absorbable. When the absorbent small piece 31 is formed of a non-woven fabric, for example, the size of the small piece is a square having a side of 1 to 2 cm. Moreover, although the number stored in one insole sheet | seat 20 is based on the kind and thickness of a nonwoven fabric, it is preferable that about 100 pieces are accommodated.
[0021]
In addition, bentonite used for cat sand or the like may be preliminarily spread and hardened on the entire surface of the bottom surface 12 of the insole sheet 20. The degree of hardening is preferably such that a cat or the like can be easily loosened when “sanding” is performed.
[0022]
The pet insole sheet 20 of the present invention, in which the small pieces 31 which are absorbent materials in advance are stored, is spread for use in a toilet container and used as it is for pets. It can fulfill its function as a toilet.
[0023]
The method of forming the pet insole sheet 20 of the present invention is not limited to the method described above. The laminated sheet may be folded at several places so that the insole sheet forms a box, and the box may be formed. In addition, for example, a cut may be made in a laminated sheet, and the box may be formed by joining the cut portions. Further, the laminated sheet forming the insole sheet is not limited to a square or a rectangle, and a box may be formed using a circular, rhombus, or other shape. However, if the method described in detail above is used, the manufacturing is simple and the cost is low.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
The insole sheet for pet toilets of the present invention used on the inner side of the toilet container described in detail above may cause the excrement to leak out and soil the toilet container when the pet excretes. Absent. Moreover, since this insole sheet | seat has a side surface, even when excrement is scattered, a container is not soiled.
Furthermore, when cleaning the toilet, when the insole sheet is discarded, a plurality of small pieces of the absorbent placed inside the insole sheet can be discarded together, so that cleaning is easy.
Moreover, since the insole sheet | seat for toilets of this invention is formed from a lamination sheet, when it folds, it will become thin and compact. Therefore, it is convenient for carrying around without taking up space for storage.
[0025]
Others, because the pet bedding sheet in the toilet of the present invention are housed are joined pre-absorbent material, ready-to-use spread to the toilet for the container in use, becomes simple and convenient. Also it is possible to further satisfy the physiological needs of the "sand over" such as lightly bonded have Runode, cats insole sheet The absorbent material.
