Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Application of the Invention) The present invention relates to a mat for reliably absorbing the urine of pet animals, particularly male dogs.

(Prior art and its problems) With today's pet boom, a large number of people keep pet dogs indoors, and disposal of excrement becomes a related problem.

Currently, in many households where pet dogs are kept, the problem of defecation is generally solved by taking the dog outside in the morning or evening, but since urination is quite frequent, There are many cases where dog toilets and mats are placed in the shelter. And in the case of female dogs, this method can be used. However, male dogs instinctively have the habit of raising their hind legs and urinating sideways, so even placing a pine or toilet bowl will not prevent urine from scattering.

(Purpose of the invention) The object of the invention is to provide a disposable mat that can completely absorb male dog urine with simple steps.

(Means for achieving the purpose) In order to achieve the above purpose, the male dog urinating mat according to the present invention has a water-absorbent mat having a crease line along the short side at approximately the center of the long side. , characterized in that an adhesive tape is attached along the long side direction of the mat.

The upper water-absorbing mat has a flexible bag-like exterior body made of a water-permeable material such as non-woven fabric and a water-impermeable backing material such as polypropylene film.
For example, a thin water-absorbing material such as water-absorbing paper or, preferably, a particulate swellable absorbent material made of a hydrophilic polymer known under a trade name such as "Sumikagel" is coated thereon, or the water-absorbing material is formed into a sandwich shape. It is constructed by lining the interior with a water-absorbing material consisting of wrapped water-absorbing paper and a superimposed material. Note that the backing material desirably wraps around the peripheral edge of the absorbent material in order to prevent moisture from seeping out from the absorbent material.

One of the characteristic features of the mat according to the present invention is that it has one refraction crease line approximately in the center thereof. This crease line is made along the transverse direction at approximately the center in the longitudinal direction of the mat. It is formed by enclosing each half of the absorbent material in an exterior material whose front and back sides are welded along the same direction.

The mat of the present invention may contain a urinary inducer if desired. If the mat is impregnated with a urination inducer, it is easy for the dog to get used to urinating correctly into the mat even when the mat is used for the first time.

Another feature of the present mat is that it is provided with an adhesive tape along the longitudinal direction on the back surface thereof. The tape is preferably integrally provided on the left and right sides and serves to secure one half of the mat to the wall and the other half to the floor.
If necessary, it is also easy to install multiple mats in parallel using this tape.

(Function) Since the mat of the present invention is equipped with a fold line and an adhesive tape, it is easy to bend it into an L shape as shown in FIG. 4 and fix it to a wall surface of a bathroom or the like and a floor surface in contact therewith. Since the walls are also covered with pine, there is no risk of staining the walls even if a male dog raises his hind legs to urinate.

Note that if the water absorbing material is colored with a moisture discoloring substance such as cobalt chloride, it is possible to roughly tell when it is time to replace it by the degree of discoloration.

(Examples) Hereinafter, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples, but the examples are of course for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the idea of the invention.

Example 1 Figure 1 is a plan view of a male dog urinating mat according to an embodiment of the invention, Figure 2 is a back view thereof, and Figure 3 is a
FIG. 4 is a schematic enlarged sectional view taken along line X--X, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the state in which it is used.

As is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, the urination mat 1 of this example has a rectangular planar shape, and is provided with a fold line 7 that bisects the entire body in its width direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, inside a polypropylene film backing material 5 bent into a double-hook shape, several sheets of water-absorbing paper 4, 4... and a hydrophilic polymer-filled paper 3 layered on top of the paper are placed inside. Water absorbing material 2 consisting of
A pair of double-sided adhesive tapes 8, 8 are attached along the longitudinal direction to the back side of the main body, which is constructed by stacking the non-woven fabric facing material 6 on the top surface and thermally welding the peripheral edges 10. There is.

The above mat is obtained by peeling off the release paper 9 covering the surface of the adhesive tape 8 (see Figure 2), bending it into an L shape, and pasting and fixing it to the floor F and wall W as shown in Figure 4. Use with. At this time, since the mat has a crease line 7, it can be accurately fixed to the wall surface, and since it is fixed with adhesive tape 8, there is no fear that the dog will touch it or act violently. Therefore, the male dog's urine can be collected accurately.

Embodiment 2 FIG. 5 is a schematic cutaway sectional view along the longitudinal direction of a mat showing another example of the invention.

In the mat 1 of this example, the fold line 7 is formed by directly heat-welding the polypropylene film backing material 5 and the non-woven fabric surface material 6, and therefore the absorbent material 2 is formed in each of the left and right halves _2A. , 2 _B. Therefore, the pine of this example bends more accurately and completely than the previous pine.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, the present invention can bring good news to dog lovers around the world by providing a disposable mat that can completely absorb male dog urine with simple steps.
