Definitions
- the invention relates to improving and enhancing the devices and practices that are presently generally carried out in disposing of wastes, both solid and liquid, that are deposited by felines in the natural state of their living. These deposits are gene/ally made in devices from make-shift boxes to generally sophisticated but very impractical kitty litter boxes.
- the invention relates to novel and improved waste elimination devices and systems for pet animals no mattfif whether they are felines or other pets such as small dogs or pet skunks, etc.
- felines felines or other pets
- the invention specification is described solely with respect to felines, but should not be interpreted as limited thereto.
- the aim of this invention is to provide a complete and absolute dissipation of the urine through aeration by the method of employing a solid, suspended tablet or liner which is designed to collect the urine, which tablet also contains a chemical to instantly or quickly absorb and/or neutralize the urine through a chemical reaction so that no ammonia will appear or be generated or long linger; and in which said method the liner will serve to facilitate the dissipation and evaporation of the urine prior to the liner's next usage.
- the liner can be used for one cat for one week or longer period and then is totally disposable, as it is biodegradable.
- the litter box design involves two main compartments and a tray that suspends the liner and is removable.
- the system can be used without kitty litter such as with light sand of appropriate particle size mesh or gravel; and, due to lack of bacteria pick ⁇ up, the sand or gravel needs to be replaced only about one/fifth or one/seventh as often as is generally practiced with kitty litter in most other systems or boxes.
- the upper compartment tray is basically hollow, being only restrained or separated from the lower tray assembly by a pervious bottom of special design (preferred) or by a screen mesh, (preferably made of plastic), there is no build-up of urine impacted kitty litter as in other systems as the urine goes directly through the pervious bottom of the upper tray or through the screen and the particulate material on the pervious bottom or on the screen to the liner or tablet suspended in the lower tray assembly where it quickly or instantly is absorbed by or reacts with the chemical (s) in the liner, or tablet.
- the non-absorbent particulate material (preferably not cat litter) which is all that is needed for stool.
- the stool may be removed as infrequently as once a week or longer because there is little or no odor involved with dry stool, and the stool is dry because it does not sit in urine soaked litter.
- the urine goes through to the chemically treated, absorbent tablet or liner. This is contrary to the wet, smelly and mushy stools presently to be found in kitty litter boxes.
- this invention is designed for the containment of urine and wastes of the feline animal, in an odor free environment, that at the same time provides maximum sanitation and the containment of both urine and stool.
- This system provides a total of several elements and features that combine to provide a simple method and apparatus of animal waste control along with a reduction of costs while at the same time reducing the necessary maintenance, and also while providing a unique and advanced sanitary cat waste elimination system.

- the entire preferred assembly (rectangular in shape preferred) is designated by the numeral 1 (by the numeral 1' in the less preferred embodiment of Fig. 4 et al ) .
- the entire assembly includes an upper or top tray compartment 2 and a bottom or lower tray assembly compartment 3.
- the upper tray compartment possesses a circumferential lip 4 all around its perimeter and a rim or legs 6 which separates the upper tray compartment 2 from the lower tray assembly 3.
- the upper tray possesses sides 5 around same which sides are almost but riot quite vertical.
- the upper tray or box will typically have dimensions of 14" x 20"-22" x 5 1/2", and has several unique features: a pervious bottom to allow direct filtration of the cat's urine; a retardent spill ring on the inside to keep the sand or gravel or granular material inside the box; and litter indicato rings or depth markers 17 for the correct balance of particulate material to be put in the box. It preferably also possesses several points of connection on the box for additional accessories.
- the lower assembly compartment 3 is a holder of the tray 13 that holds the liner pad or tablet 12. This lower assembly compartment 3 has approximately 64 aeration holes or openings 11 in the sides and ends which match up in upper and lower sections of the bottom compartment.
- This bottom tray assemby compartment is preferably plastic pressure clip fastened to the upper " low-through" main tray but may be connected to same in any suitable manner.
- Figure 1 illustrates an embodiment where at the end shown only the lower section 9 of the bottom compartment contains aeration holes 11; whereas at the side shown, both the upper (8) and lower sections (9) of the bottom compartment contain aeration openings which match up vertically.
- Figure 1 illustrates 32 such aeration holes, 24 in the side shown and 8 at the end shown, thus indicating that the opposite side and end also possess 32 aeration holes so as to account for the total of 64 aeration openings referred to above.
- Al hough aeration openings on each of the sides and each of the ends are preferred for maximum aeration and drying effects, it is also obvious that the invention can be carried out with less preferred results where only one end of the bottom tray assembly possesses such aeration openings .
- the lower assembly compartment 3 is preferably of only one-piece construction but comprises an upper section 7, a middle section 8 and a bottom section 9, the holes 11 in sections 8 and 9 being in vertical alignment preferably all around the perimeter of the assembly and/or at two sides and one end thereof .
- top compartment 2 the bottom compartment 3 and the drawer tray 13 make up the main pet waste elimination system construction of this invention, all of which are typically made of rigid plastic.
- the drawer 13 is designed with a lip around the inside to sustain the support of the urine tablet liner 12.
- the drawer tray also has six small pillars 22 which line up with "buttons" 25 of the liner and which further support the liner .12 so as to allow for a paatern of equal squares on the tablet or liner for support.
- the upper section of lower compartment 3 is designated by the numeral 7, the center section by 8 and the bottom section by 9, said lower tray assembly 3 also possessing or being equipped with "elevation" legs or pads 10 on its bottom surface as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
- the sections 8 and 9, and the drawer tray 13 which is slidably contained within center section 8, are structurally coordinated and designed so that the vertically aligned holes 11 provide ample aeration both to the top and bottom of the liner pad; which holes (for ease of manufacturing purposes using commercial plastic forming techniques and procedures which are the most competitive economically,) are typically semi-circular in shape as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3.
- the special pad or tablet 12 employed in the assembly besides being held within drawer tray 13, is situated horizontally parallel between the aeration holes 11 above the pad in the center section 8 of the bottom tray assembly 3 and the aeration holes 11 below the pad in the bottom section 9 of the lower compartment 3.
- the pad 12 is shown in more detail in Figure 7 and Figure 9 and the drawer tray 13 that supports the pad is shown in detail in Figure 10.
- the sides of upper section 7 of lower compartment 3 possess slots 14 to facilitate entry of locking tabs 27 into same.
- Locking tabs 27 and 28 are located in the sides of legs 6 of upper tray 2. (See Figure 8.)
- the tabs 28 (or 27) may be provided with unlocking levers 29 to facilitate easy disassembly of the trays.
- Such levers may also be provided with stiffening webs 30 for structural strength and product lengevity.
- top compartment 2 may be reinforced with support straps 15 (Figure 7) which run longitudinally and transversely, similar to the tray grid 21 illustrated in Figure 10.
- Screen 18 and screen frame 19 ( Figures 7 and 10) span across most of the interior bottom of top compartment 2 except at the slanting drip edge portions 20 around the perimeter of same.
- Sand and.or gravel and/or kitty litter material 16 is supported by the screen and the amount of same used and/or desired for use is as ⁇ ertainable by depth marker lines 17 in the interior sides of upper compartment 2.
- Drawer tray 13 for the absorbent liner or pad or tablet 12 is of intersecting grid design 21 with tray posts 22 and tray stop 23.
- Pad 12 possesses a pad lip 24 around its perimeter for support on the perimeter of tray 13; and also pad “buttons” 25 for support on tray posts 22.
- Drawer tray 13 also preferably possesses a handle end 26a with “finger” slots 26 ( Figure 10a) for gripping the tray for periodic removal as desired.
- Figures 8 and 8a illustrate slots 14 and locking tabs 27 and locking tabs 28 and other locking members such as may be employed in connection with any of the various tray members to enable or facilitate their easy assemblage and/or disassembly, but should not be construed as limiting as to means which may be employed for such functions.
- Figure 9 illustrates the absorbent pad or tablet 12 in the waste elimination system of the present invention.
- Sides 24 and “buttons” 25 provide for the desired mechanical support of the pad upon tray 13 with its grid design 21 and its posts 22.
- Tablet 12 is preferably multi-layered and will also preferably have a stiffness of construction so as to substantially support itself on tray 13 along and across its entire area (typically about twenty inches long and fourteen inches across or wide) for impregnation and receiving of the cat's urine and the tablet's subsequent aeration.
- the pad's construction preferably involves five separate layers; a bottom and a top layer, which are holding layers, with three additional layers in between, two being wood pulp for absorption, and the third middle layer containing a chemical retardent to neutralize smell and ammonia. These chemicals are of sufficient quantity to allow for several wettings before they are depleted.
- the construction of this liner typically involves the high pressure pressing of the outer edge for approximately 3/8" to cover the circumference of the entire liner.
- the thickness involves a high concentration of wood pulp along with a chemical for absorbing and reducing smell and increasing absorption.
- the preferred construction involves an upper and a lower layer of retentive non-woven material .
- Some other featured aspects of the liner is its simplicity of use in the drawer tray i3 and its easy removal and replacement (e.g. a five second operation,); its ease of handling and disposal, its complete biodegradeable feature so as to not damage the environment; its ability to function as an absorbent and holding mechanism for the urine; and also, through the aeration process of the invention, its ability to dry between usages and subsequently to be re-useable several times before its disposal.
- Upper compartment 2 also preferably possesses user friendly "finger pads" 31 located near the unlocking levers 29 and the stiffening webs 30 to facilitate ease of assembly and disassembly of the compartments 2 and 3 with or from each other.
- the entire assembly 1 or 1', in further preferred combination embodiments thereof, also preferably possesses a "Po ⁇
- the "Po-Pot” preferably possesses two chambers 32 and 33, covered by a single lid (not shown) over both chambers, or by two lids 32a and 33a; and preferably also is located within the entire assembly as shown in Figures 1 and 4 and Figure 12; but may also be located on the outside wall of the assembly as illustrated in Figure 12a.
- connections of the Po-Pot to the main assembly or upper tray compartment 2 may be accomplished by means of slots 35 and tabs 36, as illustrated in Figures 11, 12 and 12a.
- the entire assembly preferred embodiment also includes for fecal, removal a special scoop 37 (Figure 13) removably affixed to the outer wall of top tray 2 of the assembly.
- the outer wall possesses molded hooks or pins 41 for correspondingly fitted and sized holes 40 in the scoop.
- the bottom of scoops 37 possesses slot like openings 42 separated by longitudinal framing bars 38 and transverse framing bars 38a and teeth 39 as illustrated in detail in Figure 13, which design permits easy and efficient separation and removal of the fecal material from the granular material 16 contained in the upper compartment 2.
- Teeth 39 are optional and/or may be located elsewhere on the scoop, such as at its tip.
- the aeration of the entire bottom of the feline waste container of the present invention is designed for the express purpose of not only eliminating odor but to dry the urine and in so doing to provide a higher degree of sanitation than any other similar system.
- the aeration even dries the bottom of the top compartment tray which contains the particulate material that the feline frequently scratches for burial of the fecal waste, thus allowing air to rise through the sand or other granular material contained therein.
- the system thus allows both top and bottom air movement to be absorbed on the floor of any home by simple drafts of heating, air conditioning or body movement.
- Figure 1 is a preferred embodiment over that of Figure 4, although both designs are operative and novel with the present invention.
- the bottom of the upper tray compartment of Figure 1 and Figure 14 is designed so as to keep a layer of granules covering the escape urine longitudinal slot holes 44 in the valleys of the tray compartment-
- the bottom of the tray consists of a number of longitudinal V-shaped valleys and inverted V-shaped bars joined by bar separators 43.
- the number of these longitudinal V-shaped valleys and inverted V-shaped bars is variable but typically may be a total of about fourteen of each for a waste assembly system having the dimensions previously referred to.
- This preferred structure keeps the felines from reaching the bottom of the upper tray compartment through the granules and minimizes the catching of their claws on or in the slot holes 44.
- V con iguration allows for the granular material to protect the holes from being blocked on the urine's route to the tablet in the lower tray assembly.
- Figure 14 illustrates about seven to nine longitudinal slot holes 44 in each of the V-shaped valleys shown in the bottom of the tray.
- any such top tray compartment of a waste elimination system having a top tray compartment design of this invention as illustrated in Figures 1 and 14 will have at least a set of sixty or more such elongated holes in the bottom thereof.
- a second feature of the scooper/scraper is the scraper aspect which involves turning the scooper over from its original application of fecal removal to use an outer edge of the scoop with teeth 39 as a scraper so as to allow the scraper to remove any dry material that may have adhered to the side or bottom of the upper tray compartment.
- the Po-Pot is designed to sit in the end 2 1/2" of the top tray, or on the outside of the tray to give more room for large cats.' The size of it is 3 1/2" in width, 11 1/4" in length, and 3 1/2" in depth.
- This container is designed as part of the sanitary package so as to allow the instant and easy removal at least once a week--but if desired--less frequently or more f equently.
- the Po-Pot preferably has a second compartment 33 in same, smaller in size than compartment 32.
- Compartment 33 is for on-site storage of charcoal or baking soda to be used in the fecal storage area 32 to remove and absorb any odor.
- a key feature is the total air seal between the lid or lids 32a and 33a and the main storage box. This combination makes

Abstract
Système complet permettant d'enlever, de stocker et d'évacuer les matières fécales et les urines de félins (ou d'autres animaux) par l'application et l'utilisation optimale de nombreux éléments et sous-systèmes, ce qui permet d'appliquer et de gérer un procédé d'évacuation entièrement hygiénique de matières fécales et d'urines humides et sèches de félins. Le système comprend une 'purification unique de l'urine par exposition à un traitement par air', consistant à utiliser l'aération. Le système comprend l'utilisation d'un procédé d'aération consistant à faire passer l'urine à travers du sable ou tout autre matériau poreux dans un bac supérieur, puis à travers la base perméable de ce bac, après quoi elle tombe sur une plaque ou un coussinet d'aération poreux suspendu. Ceci produit une urine aérée. Le procédé est de préférence renforcé par des produits chimiques spéciaux implantés dans la plaque d'aération, qui comporte plusieurs couches. L'urine est ainsi séchée sans produire d'odeur, de sorte que l'on obtienne un système complet, jetable, hygiénique et sans odeur d'évacuation de l'urine. Les matières fécales se logent dans le matériau poreux sec où elles sont enterrées par le chat et/ou évacuées par le propriétaire du chat, ce qui réduit sensiblement leur odeur, puisqu'il n'y a pas d'élément maintenant l'humidité de ces matières fécales, le sable ou tout autre matériau poreux étant sec.
