Abstract

The invention relates to a device functioning as a disposable sealed cat litter box. The inventive device is embodied in the form of a sealed box which contains litter in the folded state thereof, is used as a cat litter box in the unfolded state thereof and serves as a disposable sealed packaging when it is filled after being used. Said device is embodied in the form of a single piece and consists of a sealed hollow base whose four flaps are expandable in such a way that the entire device is transformed into a box provided with high walls. Said walls are connected to each other by the front and rear flap joggles which interlock with the lateral flaps. An opening is embodied in the front flap for enabling a cat to access inside the box. After the use, the flaps are folded into an initial position for discarding the assembly. The inventive device is particularly used for facilitating the change of a cat litter.

Description

Disposable cat litter box

The present invention relates to an "all-in-one" device fulfilling the functions of:

- Packing for cat litter,

- Litter box for cat,

- Disposable container for used litter.

The use of a traditional cat litter box breaks down into several compelling stages:

- Buy the litter on the one hand,

- Buy a ferry on the other hand,

- Fill the tray with litter,

- extract used litter,

- throw the litter in a garbage bag on the one hand,

- Clean the tray on the other hand.

The invention makes it possible to eliminate the majority of the above-mentioned operations.

The device already containing the litter just has to be unfolded before use and folded after use and finally be directly disposed in the state with the litter used.

USE :

1) Before use, the device is folded and is in the form of a closed rectangular box of very low height.

2) For use, simply unfold it and place it in the place provided by the user. Large flaps then forming an airtight container with its own litter already in place. A door cut in the front flap allows the cat to have easy access.

3) After use, simply fold the flaps to close the device and thus return to its original state (before use). It then forms a directly disposable box containing used litter.
