Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a vent toilet, and more particularly to a pet toilet that can be easily and robustly attached to either a Western-style or Japanese-style toilet bowl.

(Prior Art) In households that own pets, countermeasures against pet waste have become a problem, and various pet toilets have been proposed for this purpose.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing one conventional example of such a pet toilet. In the figure, 1 is a cover, 1-1 is a pocket provided on the cover in which an air freshener is set, 2 is an inner tray, and 3 is an outer tray.

A net is set in the inner tray 2 so that pet waste can be dropped there. Then, the lower part of the inner tray 2 is received by an outer tray 3, and the urine is received on the outer tray 3 as it is, or on a sheet of newspaper or the like. This type of pet toilet is currently available on the market exclusively for pets, and is installed indoors.

Furthermore, FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams illustrating examples of conventional pet toilets used in combination with toilet bowls used by people. In Figure 6 (a) and (b), 4 is a Japanese-style toilet, 5
is a sectioned frame, 6 is a step stool, and 7 is a thin plate.Here, separate sectioned frames 5 are provided on both sides of the Japanese-style toilet bowl, and a slightly lower step stool 6 is provided on this sectioned frame 5. It is configured to mount a removable thin plate 7 thereon (e.g.
(Refer to Utility Model Application Publication No. 167671/1983).

The one in FIG. 7 is a Western-style toilet bowl 8 that can be used as a pet toilet. The toilet bowl 8 is constructed so that it can be attached to a Western-style toilet bowl 8. The frame-shaped main body 9 is provided with a vent opening and a ladder 12 for easy entry and exit of the vent (see, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 15177/1983).

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, since it is a pet toy that is not used in a toilet bowl used by people, it is placed in the room.
When there are people in the room, it becomes difficult for pets to relieve themselves, and people also have a negative image of pets. In addition, it is sometimes necessary to replace the newspapers and sand in the inner tray 2, to dump urine, etc. accumulated in the outer tray 3 several times a day, and to wash it several times a day. In particular, if this work is not done frequently, the room will smell like pet waste, making people uncomfortable. Urine is simply collected in the outer tray 3, and a foul odor wafts around, causing discomfort to people around.In the case of feces, it is difficult to dispose of it.

A pocket l-1 is provided on the cover 1 to eliminate odors.
Efforts have been made to set fragrances inside, but this alone is not enough and is also economically expensive.

In addition, in a pet toilet set in the Japanese-style toilet bowl 4, attaching the step stool 6 and the thin plate 7 is troublesome and unstable, and the pet cannot relieve himself or herself with peace of mind.
In the end, the outside of the toilet becomes dirty, and as a result, the problem of spreading filth to other rooms also arises.

Furthermore, vent toilets set in Western-style toilet bowls also have problems such as the space of the toilet itself being narrow and the attachment of the frame 9 lacking stability. especially,
The cat moves around a lot, covering himself with sand after relieving himself.
Pet toilets that are attached may topple over.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a pet toilet that can be attached to either Japanese or Western style toilet bowls used by people, and that can be attached reliably. be.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The pet toilet of the present invention is a pet toilet used in combination with a toilet bowl, and includes a sink portion having a gently sloped surface toward the inside, and a sink portion connected to the sink portion. The toilet bowl is characterized by comprising a cover having a drop portion that is locked on the inside of the toilet bowl, and an inner tray that is fitted inside the cover and has a net stretched over the inside.

(Function) In the above-described pet toilet of the present invention, a cup containing an inner tray is attached to a toilet used by a person, and the pet toilet is used as a pet toilet. The cover has a sink portion having a gentle slope toward the inside,
A drop portion is formed to be connected to the tray and fit inside the toilet bowl, and a net-like body is stretched on the inside of the inner tray and is installed in the cover.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the pet toilet according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the peripheral edge of the cover, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the pet toilet shown in FIG. 1.

In Fig. 1, 20 is an inner tray, 30 is a cover,
40 is a saucer, and 50 is a lid. The inner tray 20 is
It has a frame board 21, and this frame board 2J is provided with a pet entrance 22, a step stool 23, and a peripheral edge part 24, and a rope-like body 25 is stretched on the bottom part. If the vent is a cat, sand 26 and, if necessary, paper (for example, newspaper) are spread on the mesh. That is, when using ordinary sand, paper is laid on the bottom to prevent the sand from leaking from the net 25, but when using commercially available pet sand that is the size of a rice grain or a wheat grain. Since sand does not leak from the rope body 25, there is no need for paper to be laid on the bottom. In addition, the peripheral portion 24 is provided with a curved portion that is bent inside the inner tray 20 as shown in FIG. It can prevent sand from scattering. However, if this curved part is formed over the entire circumference, it becomes difficult to discharge sand from the inner tray 20, so as shown in FIG. 24-1 is preferably provided. On the other hand, if the vent is a dog, sand is not required, so the mesh is larger and there is no need to add curved parts to prevent sand from scattering.

The cover 30 is provided with a sink part 31 that slopes gently toward the inside, and a drop part 32 that is connected to the sink part 31 and is fitted inside the toilet bowl.

In particular, the drop portion 32 has a protrusion 35 as shown in FIG.
Alternatively, by providing something like a flap, it is possible to securely fit the toilet bowl. Further, by providing a notch 34 in the case portion 33, the entrance/exit 22 is prevented from being blocked when the inner tray 20 is built in, and a lower edge portion 36 is provided to prevent the receiving tray 4 from being blocked.
Make it match 0.

The saucer 40 is formed with a step 43 that fits into the lower edge 36 of the cover 30, and the cover 3 with the inner tray 20 attached thereto.
When 0 is not set in the toilet bowl, it is placed on this tray 40. Moreover, when the cover 30 with the inner tray 20 attached is set in the toilet bowl, by covering the saucer 40 with M2O,
The vent may be used as a stepping stone to ascend to the inner tray 20. In addition, 41 is a side plate, and this side plate 41
A notch 42 is provided in the cover 30 so that the cover 30 can be easily removed.

Next, the installation status of each of the above components will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG.
position and push it into the Western-style toilet bowl 60 from above. Then, the protrusion 35 provided on the drop part 32 will be inserted into the Western-style toilet bowl 60.
It is fitted on the inner side. That is, since the cover 30 is usually made of resin, the drop portion 32 has elasticity, and when it is press-fitted from the top, it bends slightly inward, allowing the cover 30 to be reliably attached to the Western-style toilet bowl 6o.

Then, the inner tray 20 is installed inside the attached cover 30. That is, the inner tray 20 is inserted into the cover 30 from above, and the bottom of the inner tray 20 is placed on top of the sink portion 31 of the cover 30.

In this set state, the pet relieves itself inside the inner tray 20.

When urinating, it flows naturally through the sink section 31, through the drop section 32, and into the toilet bowl, but when defecating, place the inner tray 20 upside down and urinate into the toilet bowl by laying down sand or paper. If the toilet is covered with sand or paper, use a shovel to remove the excess feces and throw it into the toilet bowl.

In the case of a particularly small pet, the saucer 4o can be used as a stepping stone by covering it with M2O and placing it next to the toilet bowl.

Further, when the cover 30 containing the inner tray 20 is not set on the toilet because the toilet is used regularly or by a person, the cover 30 may be fitted onto the tray 40. By doing this, even if the vent is used, the receiving tray 40 can receive the waste. When this bed toilet is not used, it is sufficient to cover it with the lid 50.

Note that the case portion 33 of the cover 30 is provided with a hook portion 37 and a projection portion 35 so that the cover 30 can be easily removed from the Western-style toilet bowl 60 or the saucer 40 to which the cover 30 is attached.

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a pet toilet showing another embodiment. In this embodiment, an opening/closing part 25-1 is provided in a part of the net-like body 25, so that a part of the rope-like body 25 can be opened and closed. With this configuration, for example, the part 25-1 of the mesh body 25-1 may be left open and treated with toilet paper, or the inner tray 20 may be tilted and vibrated to roll the feces to open and close the opening/closing part. 25-1 and drop it into the toilet bowl, or use a hose to flush the water,
The feces can be washed away from the opening/closing part 25-1, making it easier to dispose of the feces. Note that in order to open and close a part of the net-like body, only that part may be removed, or it may be made so that it can be folded.

The pet toilet described above can also be set, for example, in a Japanese-style toilet bowl 70, as shown in FIG. 4, and can be installed securely. If the toilet bowls are different in size, it is only necessary to change the size and shape of the drop portion of the cover that is fitted inside the toilet bowl. In addition, especially in the case of dogs, since they are larger than cats and not as nimble as cats, it is also necessary to keep the entrance of the bed wide.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, in a pet toilet that can be combined with a toilet bowl used by humans, the toilet bowl includes a sink portion having a gently sloped surface, a sink portion connected to the sink portion, and an inner side of the toilet bowl. Since it is equipped with a cover having a drop portion that is fitted into the toilet bowl, and an inner tray that is covered with a mesh on the inside and is attached to the cover, it can be combined with both Japanese and Western style toilet bowls. Moreover, the same shape can be used for Japanese-style and Western-style toilets by simply changing the dimensions of the drop part.■It is extremely easy to install and remove with one-touch operation. In other words, all you have to do is press the cover into the toilet bowl, and if you want to remove it, just put your hand on the hook and pull it up. Furthermore, the installation is reliable and robust, and the bed remains stable even when the bed is used or moved around a little. Furthermore, it can be washed with water, is easy to handle, and there is no discomfort caused by the smell of filth in the vent or the appearance of disgrace when the bed is emptying itself, so you can live a comfortable life with the vent. can.

As described above, the present invention has various effects.
