Abstract

The present invention is related to the production industry of compounds and products intended to collect and retain organic wastes such as feces and urine generated by pets or laboratory animals, said product frequently being known as pet beds. The aforementioned compositions have the advantage of a better absorption, a higher elimination of malodours and the formation of better clumps upon being brought into contact with water or an aqueous product, besides being a biodegradable compound, the clumps formed in the collector are disposable. The composition includes a combination of three elements: a support vehicle, a binder, and a binding and dispersing agent of said binder. Said composition is characterized in that the support vehicle is formed by fractions of a threshed corn cob, the binder is formed by a mixture of a vegetable gum and bentonite, and the binding agent by a mineral oil.

Description

COMPOSITION OF BED FOR DEPOSITION OF FECTS AND RIMS OF PETS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is related to the industry of the production of those compounds and products intended for the collection, retention and deposition of organic waste, faeces and urine, generated by domestic animals, laboratory animals and pets, products commonly known as bedding for animals. Particularly refers to animal beds composed of organic ingredients and that clump together or form a "lump" on contact with waste liquids.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The use of different materials to achieve the objective of collecting and retaining, for later deposition, the organic waste of animals, goes back to the maintenance of animals in captivity, as in the case of birds or rabbits, as well as mammals for laboratory and of pets in general, where the main objective is to provide the animal with a base or bed that absorbs the urine and keeps its extremities dry, thus avoiding contamination, odors and proliferation of pathogens; facilitating the cleaning of breeding and captivity receptacles.
Small domestic animals, for example cats, are commonly trained to deposit their waste in containers called cat bed boxes. Untrained and confined animals, such as guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, whose dogs, birds, apes and others lay waste on the floor of their cages. In all cases, both pet owners and laboratory managers provide the cages and receptacles with some material or compound that allows the proper removal of the waste.
The use of beds as a support for feces and urine, for domestic, laboratory and pet antimalarials has spread significantly worldwide. This is due both to the proliferation of pets in homes, cohabiting with humans in closed spaces in urban areas, and the increasingly common use of mammals and other species in laboratories and bioterios. The beds of animals have allowed, according to the advance of the state of the art, a greater ascepcia in the handling of waste, practicality and convenience in the coexistence of human beings with other species. It is an article of daily use in many homes and very useful for institutions that require keeping animals for various purposes.
The state of the art, in the particular case of cat beds, has evolved in the last 45 years in 4 generations of products, namely: First generation: known as sands for cat litters, characterized by being calcareous gravels, large size between 5000 and 3900 microns, whose main function is to appeal to the animal's instinct to deposit its waste in a fixed place. With a very low absorption of liquids and almost no elimination of bad odors, little useful life, since the bed saturates quickly and requires to change it completely frequently. Also these gravels contain many powders or fines that are harmful to the respiratory tract of pets and humans, by causing silicosis. Currently, only this type of product is used in developing countries. The cat bed made its appearance around 1947 in the United States of America.
Second generation: sands for cat litter, characterized by being calcareous minerals of more uniform granulometry, typically between 2500 and 500 microns. Characterized by having a better absorption of liquids than those of first generation and a relative higher yield, since by the size of the particle it is possible to "stir" the bed and disperse the granules of the product wetted with the dry ones, thus increasing the useful life of the product. product. It is also necessary to completely change the product every time the bed is saturated, like the first generation, these materials usually contain dust or fines harmful to the respiratory tract of pets and humans. In developed countries, 2nd generation arenas are marketed as the most economical product in the category. It is worth mentioning that some of these arenas are mixed with fragrances, to help mask odors or with aseptic agents, such as borax, to reduce the activity of pathogenic germs.
Third generation: granules of clays or other limestone minerals, characterized by, in addition to being of controlled granulometry - typically between 2000 and 500 microns -, agglutinate or form clods on contact with the liquid of animal waste. This type of product appears in the market from 1989 and the most important patents that refer to this type of products are: US 4 * 685,420, US 4,883,021 and US 5 094,189. Its capacity to absorb liquids is greater than those of 2nd generation and its performance also, since its agglutination quality allows the user to only discard the material that formed a lump without changing the entire bed, due to its characteristics Physical These materials also contain dust or fines harmful to the respiratory tract of pets. There are also modalities in these 3rd generation beds, where aseptic agents and fragrances have been integrated to mask odors, since the materials that compose them have a very small capacity to absorb odors or to react with substances. what causes them The 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation cat beds are composed essentially of different calcareous minerals that, due to their specific weight and physical characteristics, require that the product - already impregnated with faeces and urine - be discarded as a solid in the garbage, since they can not be deposited in the drainage, by its expansion in contact with liquids and precipitate in the water, thus covering the drain pipe.
Fourth generation: granules or pellets of various organic products such as recycled paper, cereals, bagasse, wood shavings and other cellulosics, characterized as well as being controlled granule-metrics - typically between 2300 and 850 microns - are biodegradable products, so that some can be disposed of in domestic drainage, float in water, are lighter and easier to handle than mineral sands, usually absorb a volume of liquids, on a weight basis, greater than mineral sands; they are mostly agglutinable (they form clods) and apparently are better accepted by pets, possibly because of their appearance and "natural" feel to the animals. Also, depending on the type of product used to formulate these beds, they absorb more than the odors odors caused by the waste. This type of organic beds for animals was introduced to the state of the art towards the beginning of the 90s, notably there are patents US 5'526,770 and US 5 * 901,661, related to compositions of this type.
Some pets get to ingest the compound that forms the bed. In the case of beds of mineral sands, particularly the agglutinables, they can clog the intestine of the animal, causing it even death. On the contrary, in beds of organic origin, especially the composition described below, the "lump" dissolves in contact with gastric liquids and the support -vegetal and cellulose- is inert and non-toxic.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that the beds for animals, in addition to their contribution to a better quality of life, given their contribution to hygiene and comfort in waste management, are the ideal vehicle to induce or modify habits and behaviors of pets, such as It happened with cats naturally, since they allow the use of active agents, particularly attractants of certain animal species. In this way and, as discussed below, it is possible to extend its use to other small species, such as dogs, particularly those that live in apartments or town houses.
There are also products for cat litter in the market, which carry a small amount of fragrance to flavor the bed and mask bad odors, however in the particular case of mineral sand beds the fragrance is sequestered and not released to the environment ambient, being that it is only perceptible in a very tenuous way when the bed comes into contact with the urine liquids and the fragrance of the support is displaced when displaced from the molecular cavities by the entry of liquid. Additionally, some manufacturers of cat litter incorporate chemical agents such as orthophosphoric acid, characterized by reacting chemically with ammonia, present in cat urine, and thus achieve -reacting or reducing- a decrease in bad odors.
OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION, An objective of the present invention is to make possible a pet bed that meets a shape with a large capacity of absorption of liquids, at least 1 to 1 on the basis of weight, having the great capacity of absorption of bad odors generated by animal waste.
Other objectives of the present invention are: to create a bed whose support is organic, biodegradable and non-toxic; innocuous for disposal in drains and domestic pipes; not palatal, so g that the pet does not want to ingest it; that the support has a size and granulometry suitable for its handling and functionality; that does not enter the hooves of the animal and it carries it outside the bed container.
Still another objective is to make possible a bed composition for pets, suitable as vehicle or carrier of active agents, such as fragrances, attractants of different animal species and / or bactericides, as well as releasing these in the immediate environment in a gradual manner. , that is economical, easily obtainable and that its collection does not cause environmental impact.
Still another objective is to obtain a composition that can, in addition to absorb and retain liquids, form lumps, sufficiently rigid and stable so that in a minimum period of one minute, from its contact with liquids, can be removed with the hand, without separating or breaking under its own weight and the movement of removal, with agglomerating agents that are not toxic.
Another objective is to make possible a pet bed composition that is disposable in the drainage, once the "lump" is formed thanks to the fact that it is a base or support that floats in the water and, that the gums or binders that form The "lump" is released on contact with water.
Another objective is to achieve a bed that absorbs the unpleasant odors of animal waste or the decomposition thereof, being at the same time vehicle of active substances, such as fragrances, attractants, repellents or bactericides and gradually release them into the environment, taking as example of this substance the NEPACTALACTONA (acetate of iso-amiloj, known for its quality to attract felines, so that in this way the acceptance of the new product for bed by the pet is ensured.
In addition, the composition of the present invention allows the incorporation of active agents in a more functional and effective way than the products known in the state of the art, since it releases gradually and effectively, without the need to moisten.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The body of the product object of the present invention is constituted by four basic elements. First, a vehicle or carrier characterized by its great ability to absorb liquids and odors, in addition to gradually releasing flavors or other active substances into the air or surrounding environment. Second, two or more binding substances of organic and mineral type, that adhered to the vehicle or carrier, when in contact with the faeces and urine liquids of the pet, manage to agglomerate the support or vehicle and form lumps sufficiently consistent for its Complete removal and in one piece. Third, a high viscosity oily liquid used to impregnate the vehicle or support, to ensure the adsorption of the binding agents to the surface of the support, prevent them from separating and prevent dust or fine particles from being released into the air when the product is handled. . Fourth: the addition of fragrances and other active agents, whether in solid or liquid form, concentrated in a small proportion of the vehicle or support, are integrated into the composition, to fulfill functions of attractant, flavoring or bactericide.
The support or vehicle that forms part of the composition object of the present invention, is a material extracted from the husked corn cob (Zea corn), whose physical and chemical sui generis qualities allow the above-described functions of absorption of liquids and odors and, simultaneously, the release of active substances and agents. Obtaining the different components that make up the corn husk is the result of a manufacturing process, known in the state of the art, whereby each of the components that make up the corn husk is separated, classified and dimensioned.
The ear, once shelled, is constituted, seen in cross section, by three concentric rings denominated in Spanish, from the inside to the outside: marrow, wooden ring and brush. The support of the present invention comprises both the intermediate ring - wooden ring - and the outer - brush -. The main differences between these two products or fractions of the cob, lie in their absorption capacity, in their hardness and granulometry.
The preferred characteristics of the product coming from the wooden ring are: not having more than 1% of powders or fines, having been subjected to a heat treatment that guarantees the ascepcia of the product and a humidity or water content of less than 10%. The wooden ring is also characterized by: a hardness of 4.5 on the Mohs scale, an absorbency in light oil (for example soybean oil) of 1 to 1 on the basis of weight and a molecular structure, which seen under the electron microscope , resembles that of a marine sponge, that is, with large empty spaces and of different dimensions. It is inferred that it has the capacity to admit and retain large molecular liquids while admitting other substances of smaller size and gradually releasing them.
For its correct functionality, the particle size or granulometry must be stable and its size must be between 3,360 microns and 841 microns. The main difference between the particle sizes, is the contact surface that each represents, for example the particles between 1410 microns and 841 microns have an average contact surface of 5.88 m2 per gram, the particles between 841 and 420 microns have a average contact surface of 7.20 m2 per gram. This characteristic is determinant in the liquid absorption qualities by the support or vehicle that integrates the composition object of the present invention. The material that forms the wooden ring must be free of dust or fines (particles of less than 420 microns), so as not to damage the respiratory system of pets and to avoid discomfort (breathing dust) to the owner or the animal's keeper.
As regards the other corn husked product, this is the chaff, its quality as a carrier of active substances is similar to the product of the wooden ring; Its absorption capacity is greater: between 1.5 and 3 times its weight in light oil; its granulometry is between 841 and 73 microns; less fluidity, since its appearance is that of a flour, against the granular of the wooden ring.
Both, the wood ring and the brush, are characterized by having an almost neutral pH, of the order of 6; they do not react when mixed with active agents, unlike other supports or vehicles that want to deactivate or neutralize them previously. They are subjected to a heat treatment, which guarantees their ascepsia. These products are not a breeding ground for microorganisms, as it is known in the state of the art that the corn husked corn, even when left outdoors for periods of up to a year, the corn does not decompose, as the microorganisms who achieve this effect do not thrive in the body of it. This is a very important quality for the operation of the new composition, such as bed of animals and pets The combination of the product of the wood ring with the one of the brush, renders ideal physical qualities for the functions of this new composition, since on the one hand the light product of the brush allows to fill the spaces between particles that have the granules of the ring of wood, facilitating and making more efficient the agglutination of the composition, as well as a greater capacity of absorption of liquids from feces and urine of pets.
In addition to the characteristics of biodegradable, highly absorbent of liquids, releasing active substances to the environment and agglutinable, the most important quality of the husked corn husk support or vehicle, for the purposes of the new composition, is its absorption capacity. or kidnapping of bad smells. This property is markedly superior to that of any other product, mineral or organic, which is currently used as a vehicle or support for animal bed compositions.
The second element that forms the new composition is 2 or more binders or binders always formed by at least one polymer of vegetable origin and another of mineral origin, this combination allows to obtain 2 very desirable characteristics, the first one being the rapid drying - granted by the saccharides or vegetable gums - and the other the degree of hardness and resistance coming from the mineral type binders. The polymers of plant origin are especially those polysaccharides such as guar, xanthan, pregelatinized starches and polymeric organic agents similar to those mentioned. The binding agent of mineral origin is specifically the bentonite, the sodium type, whose physical qualities of little increase in volume on contact with water, good foundation and dissolve on contact with it, allow you to work synergistically with vegetable gum and obtain an ideal result in the formation, durability and dissolve the lump on contact with the water in the toilet.
In the state of the art different compounds are used, minerals as organic, to achieve the agglomeration or formation of lumps of the vehicle or support that forms the main part of the cat's bed. However, there are very few cases where a polymer-type binder, saccharide, is combined with a mineral, specifically bentonite, for the purpose of agglomeration in contact with the urine of the cat and re-dissolving on contact with the toilet water. another waste septic system, so as not to obstruct or damage it. For example, the U.S. 5? 52,250 mentions a cat bed product whose main support is an organic waste material, where the binding agent is exclusively gums or saccharide polymers of vegetable origin, in order to achieve the same effect that the clod dissolves at the same time. toilet water contact. However, this product covered in the aforementioned patent lacks the consistency and hardness that requires the clod to work functionally, since the guar or its like, by themselves, do allow agglomerate or lump, but this tends to get rid of being manipulated .
This quality of the resistance and hardness in the formation of terro-nes is fundamental for the correct functionality of the product. It must be hard enough to be able to be lifted with the hand - between the index finger and the thumb - without breaking or breaking the clod when it is manipulated. It must be resistant, in such a way that once the te-rrĂ³n is formed, the pet can later return to bed to fulfill its needs and when walking on lumps already formed - that has not previously removed his master - do not break or fracture. This quality is more important where more than one pet or cat that uses the same bed lives.
The criterion to follow in order to test in a controlled way these qualities of hardness and resistance consists of forming clods, using either common drinking water or cat urine, in an amount of 5 cc, poured on the bed material of cat that is agglutinated, from a height of between 15 and 20 centimeters, waiting 60 seconds before taking the clod in your hand - between the index finger and thumb - occupying in it less than half the surface of the clod and shaking it gently in the air about 30 times. The clod must not fracture or detach itself to be considered as acceptable in its qualities of hardness and resistance.
The binding agents, ie the vegetable gum and the sodium bentonite, must represent, on the basis of weight in relation to the cellulose support that forms the composition, an amount not less than 1% and not greater than 25% in order to obtain the results desired. Likewise, the proportion between vegetable gums, such as guar, xa n tan or, arabic or pregelatinized starches and the mineral binder, should preferably be in equal parts, however this proportion can be up to 2 to 1 of bentonite or vegetable gums. up to 2 to 1 of bentonite to vegetable gums. The foregoing both for the effect of the product's functionality in its strength and hardness, as well as for the property of dissolving adequately in contact with water, as well as for the cost of manufacturing, so that the composition, in addition to all its functional virtues , corresponds in its costs to the market values of similar products.
The third element that forms the new composition is a dispersing agent, which object is to ensure that the particles forming the binding agent adhere to the vehicle or cellulosic support, which forms the main body of the composition. Since the size and specific gravity of the particles of the support and of the binding agent are different, in the absence of an adherent agent the binders are separated from the corncob support. In addition to achieving the adherence of the gums, the dispersant ensures, as its name indicates, a more uniform and regular dispersion of the vegetable and mineral gums on the surface of the support, thus also obtaining a better agglutination or formation of the lump when the composition receives liquids from animal waste.
The preferred dispersant for effect of this composition is mineral oil, characterized by having a viscosity of between 45 and 110 degrees SUS / 210F on the Saybold scale, it must be odorless, preferably colorless and non-toxic for humans and animals. The amount of oil to be used based on the weight of the support or vehicle is between 1 and 20%. The cellulose support or vehicle is impregnated with this oil, prior to mixing with the gums, which do not agglutinate or polymerize on contact with it.
As a whole, the support or main vehicle, the vegetable and mineral gums and the oil or dispersant, have a functional synergy that is particularly important for the formation of the ideal clod for pet litter. Both the granulometries and different cuts or parts of the corncob vehicle, such as the mineral oil and the gums used in the present invention, achieve that the liquids of the pet waste, when falling on the bed, "float" for about seconds before being absorbed by the support vehicle. This results in the lump that is achieved is extended, where the ratio of depth to extension is between 1 to 5 and 1 to 10.
This quality of making extended and shallow clods, is fundamental for an adequate functionality and manipulation of the clods at the time of being removed from the bed, since this removal is carried out with a palette or spatula with which the lump, leaving behind, in the bed container, the non-agglutinated product. In this way there is no waste and the yield of the product is optimal when only the one that absorbed liquids and other wastes is discarded.
If, on the other hand, the lump that is achieved does not have this extended shape, like a small medallion, and it will be formed more like an ovoid or circumference, the spatula or palette tends to impact and break the lump, with which functionality is lost, product is wasted and the product already contaminated with the rest that forms the bed begins to stir. The way to qualify and quantify the correct formation of the lump, in addition to the proportions of depth to extension described above, is the time of flotation of the liquid before being completely absorbed by the composition. This time, using an amount of 5 cc of water or cat urine, poured from a height of between 15 and 20 centimeters, should be between 5 and 12 seconds.
Several patents on the subject use as a dispersing agent and at the same time as a way to control the powders or fines present in cat litters, especially those formulated from clays and other limestone minerals, surfactants or surfactants. This type of substances, in addition to making the mixing or dispersing process more difficult, since they must be applied in the form of a micro-porous foam, has the characteristic of breaking the surface tension of the water, therefore the feces and urine liquids they are absorbed immediately, thus inducing the lump to be spherical or ovoid in shape. Example of this is the American patent 5 '526, 770 (Kibke). Which, independently of the vehicle or main support, - in this case a cereal with calcareous minerals - as well as the gums or binding agents that use - semolina -, when using a surfactant as adherent and dust suppressor do not have a lump whose form is functional to be removed with spatula or paddle without being fractured by it, since being a "ball" the spatula can not remove it in a motion.
The fourth element that forms this new composition is the addition of one or several active agents that act as either fragrances or flavorings and as attractants for the animal species to which the waste bed is destined. Although the qualities of the cellulosic support or vehicle as an odor absorber does not make it necessary to use fragrances or active agents to mask bad odors, such as orthophosphoric acid, to react with urine, it is desirable in some cases that the product release some type of fragrance that serves to flavor the environment where the bed of pet waste is. Given the surprising qualities of the vehicle or carrier as an odor absorber, the addition of fragrances is an optional feature of the new composition and it can be functional with or without active agents.
In the case of fragrances or substances attractive to animal species, these can be added to the composition, diluting the fragrance or the active salt, which usually come in an oil-based base or vehicle, directly in the dispersant, which is also an oily substance. It is also very suitable to the characteristics of the cellulose support, adding the fragrance or the active agent directly to the support or cellulose vehicle.
Although the amount of fragrance or active agent to be added can be very variable, since for example in fragrances the objective sought in a degree of odorization - determined by the organoleptic intensity of an olfactory note - and this varies by type and original formulation of the fragrance. On the other hand, active agents such as attractants of animal species, often not perceptible to human smell, are added on the basis of experience in direct tests with animals. However, the preferred concentrations for adding fragrances, based on the weight of the support or cellulosic vehicle, is between 001 and 2.% fragrance to vehicle or support.
For active agents, such as Nepectalactone (iso-amyl acetate) - to attract cats - or the Beta lonone (substance already disclosed in US Patent 5,287, 826), the A 11 and I Phenyl Acetate and the Ro-sin Oil, to attract dogs, the amounts to be added, based on the weight of the support or cellulosic vehicle, are between 0.0005% and 0.1% in general, but in particular, the beta ionone is added in a proportion of 0.05 to 0.5% on the basis of the weight of the support, in the case of allyl phenyl acetate, it is added in a proportion of 0.05 to 1.0% on the basis of weight of the support and finally, the Rosin Oil (which contains adiabatic acid Decarbonoxylated with the organic compound of the oil is added) is added in a proportion of 0.05 to 1.25% base weight / weight with respect to the support.
In the case of fragrances, the object is to use the ab-sorbent qualities of bad odors of the vehicle or main support, which releases the fragrance simultaneously and gradually to the surrounding environment, thereby, without necessarily masking the bad odors, conditions and aromatizes the air. This quality is aimed at pet owners who wish to aromatize the home's environment. Also many consumers do not want perfumes or aromas, either because they are allergic, or they can be their pets, they simply want the product to be natural and have no added aromas, so the addition of fragrances is optional.
In the case of attractants for animals, the object is also to use the absorption and gradual release qualities of the support or main vehicle, adding a substance that allows to induce or modify certain behaviors of the animal. For example, in the case of Nepectalactone (iso-amyl acetate), being a feline attractant, it is sought that the cat more easily adopt the use of the composition as a bed for their waste. In tests carried out with different types of cat beds, the rate of acceptance by domestic cats accustomed to using bed de-sechos, when changing type or brand of sand, only 70% adopted the new bed, while Using the new composition that included Nepectalactone, the acceptance rate in the first three days was 93%.
Also in the case of the Beta-lonone, Allyl Phenyl Acetate, Rosin Oil, added to the new composition, it was achieved that in dogs of small size, these would also be induced to perform their needs in the receptacle containing the composition. Although it was not possible to perform a statistical study to measure the degree of induction of the active agent and the composition in the behavior of the animal, the tests carried out were sufficient to demonstrate the usefulness and feasibility of this component to extend pet bed applications, organic, agglutinable and disposable in the toilet for species such as dogs.
EXAMPLES Example 1 Airtight glass bells were used, 6 samples were established, two with the support of corn cob, two with cat bed of conventional clays trademark "Jonny Cat" and two of control without bed or support; in containers of 400 ml capacity each. A container of sand and another of corn product were respectively sprayed with 10 cc of cat urine at room temperature; also a container of sand and another one of product of ear were deposited feces of cat in an approximate amount of 20grs. The 6 bells were closed and inspected by a professional perfumer every 4 hours for a period of 72 hours. The result was from the first olfactory test, both for faeces and urine, the corncob support completely absorbed the bad odors characteristic of these wastes; while the smells in the clays of "Jonny Cat" were reduced a bit in relation to the witness bell but were noticeable until the end of the 72 hours.
Example 2 The support described in example one, with respect to the husked corn cob particles, was mixed with a mixture of 2 bentonite with one of guar, in an amount of 2% by weight of the mixture with respect to to the weight of the husked corn husks. When water was added, lumps of good consistency were formed and extended.
Example 3 The support described in example one, with respect to the husked corn cob particles, was mixed with a mixture of 2 sorts of guar with one of bentonite, in an amount of 2% by weight of the mixture with respect to to the weight of the husked corn husks. By adding water, lumps of good consistency and spread were formed.
EXAMPLE 4 The support described in example one, with respect to the husked corn cob particles, was mixed with a mixture of 2 sorts of bentonite with one of guar, in an amount of 20% by weight of the mixture with respect to to the weight of the husked corn husks. When water was added, extended clods of good consistency were formed.
EXAMPLE 4 The support described in example one, with respect to the husked corn cob particles, was mixed with a mixture of 2 sorts of guar with one of bentonite, in an amount of 20% by weight of the mixture. with respect to the weight of the particles of husked corn. When water was added, extended clods of good consistency were formed.
