BANDEJA HIGIÉNICA PARA MASCOTAS LITTLE TRAY FOR PETS
MEMORIA DESCRIPTIVA DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una bandeja higiénica para mascotas que aporta, a la función a que se destina, ventajas y características, que se describen en detalle más adelante y que suponen una mejora del estado actual de la técnica. The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present descriptive memory, refers to a hygienic tray for pets that provides, to the function for which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail later and which imply an improvement of the current state of the art.
El objeto de la presente invención recae en una bandeja higiénica para mascotas que se distingue, principalmente, por presentar una configuración estructural con paredes altas y una rejilla que cubre el fondo de la misma evitando la utilización de sustrato en forma de arena o similar, lo cual conlleva, ventajosamente, la eliminación de problemas derivados del uso de dichos sustratos como pueden ser, además del gasto económico, olores, suciedad fuera de la bandeja o contagios, presentando además una forma plantar de configuración variable que, opcionalmente, se ajusta a rincones como esquinas o huecos para ocupar un mínimo espacio en la cocina, galería o espacio en que se coloca. The object of the present invention falls on a hygienic tray for pets that is distinguished, mainly, by presenting a structural configuration with high walls and a grid that covers the bottom of the same, avoiding the use of a substrate in the form of sand or similar, which which advantageously entails the elimination of problems derived from the use of said substrates such as, in addition to economic expense, odors, dirt outside the tray or contagion, also presenting a variable configuration plant shape that, optionally, adjusts to corners as corners or holes to occupy a minimum space in the kitchen, gallery or space in which it is placed.
CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de accesorios para mascotas, abarcando concretamente las bandejas higiénicas para gatos. The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of accessories for pets, specifically covering hygienic trays for cats.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Hasta el día de hoy, todas las alternativas que se ofrecen en el mercado con las bandejas higiénicas están enfocadas a la utilización de arena como medio principal para que las mascotas, principalmente gatos, realicen sus deposiciones. Until today, all the alternatives offered on the market with hygienic trays are focused on the use of sand as the main medium. for pets, mainly cats, to make their bowel movements.
Unas vienen siendo simples cajas de plástico para contener dicho producto, otras se han ¡do perfeccionando, haciéndose giratorias para facilitar la retirada de los residuos, o la posibilidad de integrarlas en el mobiliario de las casas, para esconder dichos areneros, pero siempre con la única función de ser contenedor de arena. Some have been simple plastic boxes to contain said product, others have been perfected, becoming revolving to facilitate the removal of waste, or the possibility of integrating them into the furniture of the houses, to hide said sandboxes, but always with the sole function of being a sand container.
Con el paso de los años, observamos que siempre, da igual el contenedor que se escoja, existen los mismos inconvenientes: los gatos, cuando salen, esparcen la arena por los alrededores, sus patitas se manchan de orines o de heces, ya sean suyas o de algún otro felino con el que convivan. Over the years, we have observed that the same drawbacks always exist, no matter which container is chosen: cats, when they go out, spread the sand around, their paws are stained with urine or feces, whether they are their own. or some other feline with whom they live.
La solución del arenero, hasta hoy, era la única existente, pero además de la suciedad que conlleva y el trastorno a la hora de eliminar dicha arena cada cierto número de días existe un problema aún mayor que ya afecta directamente a la salud de los gatos. The litter box solution, until today, was the only one in existence, but in addition to the dirt that it entails and the inconvenience when removing said litter every certain number of days, there is an even bigger problem that directly affects the health of cats. .
Cuando conviven juntos dos o más felinos, es imposible que, aunque dispongamos de numerosas bandejas “higiénicas” para sus deposiciones (se recomienda disponer el mismo número de bandejas +1 que de gatos), no entren en contacto con los excrementos de unos y de otros y por ello se produzca el contagio de determinadas enfermedades muy contagiosas y mortales como: inmunodeficiencia felina, leucemia felina (se trata de un tipo de cáncer que se transmite por contacto de los fluidos corporales, ya sea saliva, sangre u orina), peritonitis infecciosa felina (provocada por un virus de la familia de los coronavirus, que llega a sobrevivir 7 semanas en un entorno seco y que afecta más a los gatos que portan el virus de la leucemia felina). When two or more cats live together, it is impossible that, even though we have numerous "hygienic" trays for their droppings (it is recommended to have the same number of trays +1 as for cats), they do not come into contact with the excrement of one or the other. others and therefore the contagion of certain highly contagious and deadly diseases occurs such as: feline immunodeficiency, feline leukemia (it is a type of cancer that is transmitted by contact with body fluids, be it saliva, blood or urine), peritonitis feline infection (caused by a virus from the coronavirus family, which can survive for 7 weeks in a dry environment and affects cats that carry the feline leukemia virus more).
A día de hoy, la única solución frente al contagio de estas enfermedades, cuando se tiene más de un gato, es el aislamiento del animal, sin tener en cuenta el sufrimiento y el daño psicológico que se produce cuando debe vivir aislado de los otros miembros de su familia. To this day, the only solution against contagion of these diseases, when you have more than one cat, is the isolation of the animal, without taking into account the suffering and psychological damage that occurs when it must live isolated from the other members of his family.
Otro de los inconvenientes del uso de la arena, ya sea del tipo sepiolita, aglomerante a base de bentonita, granos de sílice o compactados de cartón, madera u otras fibras vegetales, llamadas biodegradables y ecológicas, es que, por mucho empeño que se ponga, habrá un olor bastante desagradable en los hogares, ya que la orina de gato posee un olor muy fuerte y característico que las arenas retienen a modo de ambientador: el olor no lo elimina ninguna arena. La única manera eficaz es eliminar dicha arena en cuanto ha sido usada por los gatos, y muy poca gente hace eso ya que, lo que se pretende es que cada envase de arena dure el mayor número de días posible, puesto que es un gasto añadido. Another of the drawbacks of using sand, whether it is of the sepiolite type, binder based on bentonite, silica grains or compacted cardboard, wood or other vegetable fibers, called biodegradable and ecological, is that, no matter how hard you try, there will be a rather unpleasant smell in homes, since cat urine has a very strong and characteristic smell that the sand retains as an air freshener: the smell is not eliminated by any sand. The only effective way is to dispose of said litter as soon as it has been used by the cats, and very few people do that since what is intended is that each container of litter lasts as many days as possible, since it is an added expense. .
Existe otro problema con las bandejas existentes en el mercado y es que algunos gatos, cuando miccionan, lo hacen en alto y la orina termina fuera de la bandeja, mojando paredes y suelo. There is another problem with existing trays on the market and that is that some cats, when they urinate, do so loudly and the urine ends up outside the tray, wetting walls and floors.
El objetivo de la presente invención es, pues, proporcionar al mercado un mejorado tipo de bandeja higiénica para mascotas, ya sean gatos o perros de razas pequeñas, que son las que suelen utilizar este tipo de accesorio, que permita solventar todos los inconvenientes y problemática descrita de manera práctica y simple. The objective of the present invention is, therefore, to provide the market with an improved type of litter tray for pets, whether they are cats or small breed dogs, which are the ones that usually use this type of accessory, which allows all the inconveniences and problems to be solved. described in a practical and simple way.
Por otra parte, y como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, cabe señalar que, si bien se conocen en el mercado diferentes tipos y modelos de recipientes aplicables para el mismo fin, al menos por parte de la solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ninguna que presente unas características técnicas y estructurales ¡guales o semejantes a las que presenta la que aquí se reivindica. On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although different types and models of containers applicable for the same purpose are known on the market, at least by the applicant, the existence of none that presents technical and structural characteristics equal or similar to those presented by the one claimed here.
EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
La bandeja higiénica para mascotas que la invención propone se configura como la solución idónea al objetivo anteriormente señalado, estando los detalles caracterizadores que lo hacen posible y que la distinguen convenientemente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente descripción. The hygienic tray for pets that the invention proposes is configured as the ideal solution to the aforementioned objective, the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.
Concretamente, lo que la invención propone, como se ha apuntado anteriormente, es una bandeja higiénica para mascotas, concretamente una bandeja para pequeñas mascotas como gatos o perros de razas pequeñas, destinada a permitir que efectúen sus deposiciones, tanto de orina como de heces en ella, que se distingue, principalmente, por el hecho de presentar una configuración estructural con paredes altas y una rejilla especial que cubre el fondo de la misma, evitando la utilización de ningún sustrato en forma de arena o similar, lo cual, a su vez, conlleva ventajosamente la eliminación de los problemas derivados del uso de dichos sustratos, como se ha expuesto en el apartado anterior y que principalmente son: Specifically, what the invention proposes, as previously noted, is a hygienic tray for pets, specifically a tray for small pets such as cats or small-breed dogs, designed to allow them to make their depositions, both urine and feces, which is distinguished mainly by the fact that it presents a structural configuration with high walls and a special grid that covers the bottom of the same, avoiding the use of any substrate in the form of sand or the like, which, in turn, advantageously entails the elimination of the problems derived from the use of said substrates, as has been exposed in the previous section and that mainly are:
- Eliminación de retención de olores por los sustratos utilizados. - Elimination of odor retention by the substrates used.
- Eliminación de esparcimiento del sustrato cuando el gato o mascota sale del arenero.- Elimination of spreading of the substrate when the cat or pet leaves the sandbox.
- Ahorro económico sustancial, por eliminar el uso de cualquier tipo de arena/sustrato.- Substantial economic savings, by eliminating the use of any type of sand/substrate.
- Eliminación de la necesidad de cambios engorrosos del sustrato cada cierto número de días, ni de la eliminación de dicho material, puesto que ya no existe. - Elimination of the need for cumbersome changes of the substrate every certain number of days, nor of the elimination of said material, since it no longer exists.
- Eliminación de la posibilidad de que la orina caiga fuera. - Elimination of the possibility of urine falling out.
- Eliminación total de contagios de enfermedades felinas letales, al no existir posibilidad de contacto con los excrementos de otros gatos ni con la orina. - Total elimination of contagion of lethal feline diseases, as there is no possibility of contact with other cats' droppings or urine.
- Posibilidad de recuperación mucho más rápida y efectiva de los felinos cuando estén enfermos o convalecientes, ya que ellos no lamerán sus patitas con restos de polvo, sílice o cualquier otro material, ni posibles restos de suciedad que haya dentro de cualquier sustrato que se haya utilizado. - Possibility of much faster and more effective recovery of cats when they are sick or convalescent, since they will not lick their paws with traces of dust, silica or any other material, or possible remains of dirt that may be inside any substrate that has been used.
Para todo ello, y más específicamente, la bandeja higiénica objeto de la invención, estando conformada de manera conocida a partir de un recipiente con un fondo plano rodeado de paredes perimetrales, se distingue, esencialmente, porque sobre el fondo incorpora una rejilla que abarca la totalidad de su superficie y queda elevada por encima de dicho fondo, de manera que permite que el animal camine por encima de la rejilla y permite que la orina cae a través de la misma hacia el fondo. Esta característica evita el uso de sustratos y, consigue que la mascota mantenga siempre sus patitas secas y limpias de polvo o arena y no manche el suelo al salir. For all this, and more specifically, the sanitary tray object of the invention, being formed in a known manner from a container with a flat bottom surrounded by perimeter walls, is distinguished, essentially, because on the bottom it incorporates a grid that covers the its entire surface and is raised above said bottom, so that it allows the animal to walk on top of the grid and allows the urine to fall through it towards the bottom. This feature avoids the use of substrates and ensures that the pet always keeps its paws dry and free of dust or sand and does not stain the floor when leaving.
En una realización preferente, las paredes perimetrales son de una altura considerable, es decir, de entre 20 a 25 cm para evitar que la orina de la mascota salga fuera de la bandeja, pudiendo ser algo más baja en algún punto para facilitar la entrada del animal a su interior, en todo caso no menor a unos 12 cm. Las paredes altas proporcionan una bandeja higiénica realmente efectiva, ya que no se puede saber con antelación las costumbres posturales que tendrán los felinos y, con ellas, evitaremos que puedan hacerlo fuera de la bandeja. In a preferred embodiment, the perimeter walls are of a considerable height, that is, between 20 and 25 cm to prevent the pet's urine from come out of the tray, and may be somewhat lower at some point to facilitate the entry of the animal inside, in any case not less than about 12 cm. The high walls provide a really effective litter tray, since it is not possible to know in advance the postural habits that the cats will have and, with them, we will prevent them from doing it outside the tray.
Además, de preferencia, la descrita rejilla que cubre el fondo de la bandeja es de superficie inclinada, de manera que, caigan por gravedad hacia un extremo de la misma, de manera que el animal no las pueda pisar involuntariamente cuando vuelve a usar la bandeja si aún no se han retirado. In addition, preferably, the described grid that covers the bottom of the tray has an inclined surface, so that it falls by gravity towards one end of it, so that the animal cannot inadvertently step on it when it uses the tray again. if they haven't retired yet.
Por otra parte, la forma plantar de la bandeja podrá tener diferentes formatos, pudiendo opcionalmente consistir en formas especiales aptas para ajustarse a ciertos rincones como pueden ser esquinas o huecos detrás de una puerta, permitiendo así un aprovechamiento optimo del espacio en la estancia en que se instala la bandeja. On the other hand, the plant shape of the tray may have different formats, and may optionally consist of special shapes suitable for adjusting to certain corners such as corners or holes behind a door, thus allowing optimal use of space in the room in which tray is installed.
Así, si bien la bandeja puede ser de forma plantar rectangular, como suele ser lo convencional, mientras que en una opción de realización la bandeja presenta una forma plantar aproximadamente triangular o de esquina, para poder adaptarse ajustada en una esquina entre dos paredes adyacentes en ángulo recto, y, en otra opción de realización la bandeja presenta una forma plantar poligonal que define un extremo en cuña, permitiendo su adaptación a un hueco o rincón detrás de una puerta. Thus, although the tray can have a rectangular plantar shape, as is usually the case, while in one embodiment option the tray has an approximately triangular or corner plantar shape, to be able to fit tightly in a corner between two adjacent walls in right angle, and, in another embodiment option, the tray has a polygonal shape that defines a wedge end, allowing it to be adapted to a hole or corner behind a door.
Finalmente cabe destacar que, en cualquier caso, tanto la bandeja como la rejilla que incorpora sobre el fondo de la misma, estarán fabricadas en material plástico rígido y resistente, para soportar el peso de la mascota y permitir la limpieza e higienización de la misma. Finally, it should be noted that, in any case, both the tray and the grid that it incorporates on the bottom of it, will be made of rigid and resistant plastic material, to support the weight of the pet and allow it to be cleaned and sanitized.
