Abstract

L'invention concerne des toilettes pour animaux (1) comprenant un récipient supérieur (10), un plateau (30), un récipient de support (40), une partie de corps principal (20) et un corps principal de sortie (60). Le récipient de support (40) peut être inséré et retiré dans la direction avant-arrière. Lorsque la surface inférieure du plateau (30) est en contact avec une partie de contact de toilettes (61), la gravité du plateau (30) agit sur la partie de contact de toilettes (61) et la gravité du récipient supérieur (10) et de la partie de corps principal (20) n'agit pas sur celle-ci. La partie de corps principal de sortie a une partie de sortie pour délivrer un signal qui varie en fonction de la charge appliquée sur la partie de contact de plateau (61a). Une partie inférieure de récipient supérieur (11) fait saillie d'une distance prédéterminée vers le bas à partir de l'extrémité inférieure d'une partie de paroi de récipient supérieur (12). Une partie de paroi côté arrière (42d) comporte : des premières parties de paroi (42 df) disposées sur les deux côtés externes d'une partie chevauchant la partie inférieure de récipient supérieur (11) dans la direction gauche-droite ; et une seconde partie de paroi (42ds) disposée entre les premières parties de paroi (42df). La distance des extrémités supérieures des premières parties de paroi (42df) à l'extrémité supérieure de la seconde partie de paroi (42ds) dans la direction verticale est plus longue qu'une distance prédéterminée.
