Description

  The present invention relates to a tray for pet toilet seats, and more specifically to a pet toilet tray suitable for attachment to a cage.

  With regard to male pet toilets, various vertical toilets have been devised to prevent urination from splashing. For example, Patent Document 1 below includes a toilet body having a plate-like base portion and a wall portion standing from the back end of the base portion, and a water absorbent sheet having an absorbent body attached to the toilet body. A toilet for pets, wherein the toilet body includes an upper projecting portion projecting forward from a free end portion opposite to the base portion side of the wall portion, and a portion closer to the base portion of the wall portion. A lower projecting portion projecting from the lower projecting portion, the upper projecting portion projecting toward the front side of the lower projecting portion, and the absorbent sheet includes the upper projecting portion and the lower projecting portion. A pet toilet is disclosed in which the water absorbent sheet attached to the toilet body through an overhanging portion and attached to the wall portion of the toilet body has an upper end projecting forward and inclined. .

  Patent Document 2 below discloses a pet toilet having two vertical portions. The pet toilet according to the related art is a pet toilet having a habit of defecation and urination at a corner portion in an enclosure where a pet is released, and having a defecation / urination behavior in the corner portion of the enclosure. A saucer having a corner portion having a substantially along shape, and placed on the top surface of the saucer so as to cover the top surface of the saucer, and in the placed state, a portion near the corner portion adjacent to the corner portion of the enclosure of the saucer is It is composed of a cover member that is exposed and has a large number of through holes penetrating in the front and back direction, and a thin plate material, and is disposed on the saucer and exposed to the outside near the corner portion of the saucer. An exchange sheet having a toilet receiving portion covered by the lid member at a portion spaced from the corner portion, and a partition portion standing upward on the toilet receiving portion base side It is disclosed that there.

  Further, Patent Document 3 below discloses a pet manure guard with three vertical portions. According to the technique, it is disclosed that a plate-like member can be freely connected and detached by providing a cut or cut, a connecting member, and the like.

  However, when such a restroom is installed in a cage, when a stranger arrives, the dog may be blown in the cage, or when the family comes home, the joyfulness of the dog will flick around the cage. As a result, the standing toilet may fall down or the installation position of the toilet may change.

  In order to fix the position of the toilet, for example, attachment to a cage with a hook is conceivable. Patent Document 4 below discloses that a cat step having a locking hook that can be locked to a horizontal wire of a cage panel of a cat cage is attached to the cage panel using the locking hook.

  However, for example, as in Patent Document 4, a hook that is completely fixed to an attachment (cat platform) hooks the hook on the horizontal wire of the lattice, so that the mounting location is limited. For example, although the said patent document 4 is related with the cage for cats, even if this fixing by a hook is applied to fixing of a toilet in a dog cage, the above-mentioned problem is not solved. Generally speaking, there are various types of pet cages. For example, the thicknesses and intervals of wire rods (vertical wire rods / horizontal wire rods) constituting the lattice of the cage are various. In such a case, a problem arises in relation to the size of the toilet tray main body and the height of the horizontal wires of the lattice.

  This will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 shows a pet cage 100 and a pet toilet tray 500 (hereinafter “tray”) mounted on the lattice.

The tray 500 has fixed hooks 506A to 506D at the four corners of the back surface 504 of the tray main body 502. In the structure using such a fixed hook, as shown in FIG. 7A, if the horizontal wire 120A of the portion to be attached is too high with respect to the tray main body 502, the mounting position of the tray main body is also reduced. The gap 510 is formed between the bottom surface 102 and the bottom of the tray. On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the position of the horizontal wire 120B to be attached is low, the hooks 506B and 506D provided on the back surface 504 are not caught by the horizontal wire 120B, and the tray 500 is latticed. There arises a problem that it cannot be fixed to. Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, depending on the interval between the vertical lattices 130, it becomes an obstacle to hook the hooks 506A and 506C onto the horizontal wire 120A.

  This invention pays attention to the above points, and provides a pet toilet tray that can be fixed to the wire rods of the lattice regardless of the thickness or interval of the wire rods constituting the lattice of the pet cage. That is the purpose.
