The cat scratching post contains a block for sharpening claws, made in the form of a honeycomb paper filler 1 or in other terminology of honeycomb cardboard in a compressed state, the paper sheets of which have the same shape, bounded by a closed line consisting of the first segment 2, the end point 3 of the first segment 2 is connected with a second segment 4 located perpendicular to the first segment 2, the end point 5 of which is connected to the third segment 6 located parallel to the first segment 2, the end point 7 of which is connected to the fourth segment 8 located perpendicular to the third segment 6, the end point 9 of which is connected to the one located in the continuation a straight line coinciding with the first segment 2 of the fifth segment 10, the end point 11 of which is connected to the sixth segment 12 located parallel to the fourth segment 8, the end point 13 of which is connected to the seventh segment 14 located perpendicular to the sixth segment 12, the end point 15 of which is connected line 16 with the starting point 17 of the first segment 2, forming the upper cutout 24.

The cell size of the honeycomb core is 4 - 40 mm in the stretched state.

Honeycomb paper filler is fastened on opposite sides with plates 18, for example, from hardboard or plastic. Block for sharpening claws, made in the form of honeycomb paper filler 1 in a compressed state (Figure 1) has the ability, after stretching the honeycomb paper filler 1 in the direction from one plate 18 to another plate 18, to take the form of a round cylinder with an upper recess 25 in the middle with the formation of a through a central cylindrical channel 19 with a cylindrical groove 20 and with the possibility of fixing the plates 18 to each other (Figure 2). Fastening can be carried out, for example, using two slots 21 on the plates 18 with a rubber ring put on in the slot 21 on both plates 18 or by winding a string or using two magnets (not shown in the drawings). It is possible to fix the plates 18 to each other with glue. It is also possible to install a fixing plate 22 into the cylindrical groove 20.

The thickness of the fixing plate 22 may be different, for example 3 to 5 mm. The depth of the cylindrical groove 20 can be 20-30 mm, and the fixing plate 22 fits almost the entire depth of the cylindrical groove 20, providing rigidity for the cat scratching post.

A through hole 23 can be made in the fixing plate 22.

The fixing plate 22 can be made in the form of a straight parallelepiped (Fig. 6).

The fixing plate 22 may be cylindrical (FIG. 7).

Honeycomb paper filler has a different structure - on the cross section, its cells are hexagon-shaped and therefore it looks like a honeycomb. The geometric characteristic of the paper honeycomb core with a hexagonal cell is the cell size (b) of the paper honeycomb core, the diameter of the circle inscribed in the hexagon (Fig. 5).

Paper honeycomb core is made of cardboard, such as kraft cardboard (cellulose) or honeycomb cardboard (special) with a cardboard weight of 140 g / m² or 175 g / m² with a compressive strength of 5.0 kgf / cm² and 4.0 kgf / cm². Honeycomb paper filler is made from strips of cardboard glued together in a certain width of adhesive strips and with a certain distance between adjacent adhesive strips in such a way that when stretched they transform into a sheet material with a honeycomb structure, which has high elastic and strength properties at a very low weight . The thickness of the paper honeycomb nail sharpener can be 20 mm or more. The consumption of glue for gluing a certain width of adhesive strips is not large compared to continuous gluing. Honeycomb paper filler is made in the same way as described in GOST 23233-78 PAPER HONEYCOMB FILLER. Specifications.

The paper honeycomb is stretched from a compressed state to an expanded state.

The thickness of honeycomb strips can be 0.2-1 mm. The length of the sharpening block is determined from the size of the cat and is usually selected from the range R=26-30 cm, that is, the diameter of the stretched sharpening block is 52-60 cm. The width H of the compressed sharpening block is calculated from the possibility of creating the outer circumference of the block for sharpening claws at a given length of the compressed block for sharpening claws and the size of the cells of the honeycomb paper filler. So, with the length of the compressed block for sharpening claws R=26 cm, the circumference of the block for sharpening claws is equal to C=2πR= 2π×26=163.2 cm block is 6.12 cm.

Thus, the width of the sharpening block is determined for each selected size of the length of the sharpening block, the size of the cells of the honeycomb core and the thickness of the strips of cardboard according to the above method.

The height L of the block for sharpening claws is selected mainly from the condition of strength of 20 mm or more.

The cat scratching post works as follows.

From the cat scratching post folded into a compressed state, in the case of making cells of a honeycomb filler with a size of 7 mm or 4 mm or 40 mm from a given range of 4 - 40 mm, the honeycomb paper filler is stretched to the sides in the direction from one plate 18 to another plate 18 and takes the form of a round cylinder with an upper notch 25 in the middle. After that, both plates 18 are fastened to each other, for example by the slots 21 using a rubber ring. After that, through the through central cylindrical channel 19, a fixing plate 22 is inserted into the cylindrical groove 20, both in the form of a straight parallelepiped and a cylindrical fixing plate, pushing the cylindrical channel 19 apart due to the elasticity of the honeycomb paper filler 1, ensuring the rigidity of the scratching post for cats, which maintains stability in the unfolded state in the form of a round cylinder, preventing it from folding into a tube. The fixing plate 22, when inserted into the cat scratching post, is taken with the fingers as the fixing plate 22 itself if it is made without a through hole, or taken by the through hole 23 in the case of a through hole 23, which is more convenient.

The cat sits on the cat scratching post and can lie on it and scratch the nail sharpening block while maintaining stability from the cat scratching post being rolled up into a tube.

If necessary, the cat scratching post is disassembled by removing the rubber ring from the slots 21 of the plates 18 and removing the fixing plate 22 from the cylindrical groove 20, and the honeycomb paper filler 1 is compressed by the plates 18 into a compressed state convenient for storage and transportation.

When folded, the cat scratching post takes up little space and, in case of termination of the need for it, it is easy and convenient to fold.
