Animal toilet

Provided is a package body packaging an animal litter box with a large opening in an upper part so as to be visually recognizable from the outside, which can secure strength required for distribution. An animal litter box package body includes an animal litter box with an open upper part that can store animal excrement, an accessory, and a case packaging the animal litter box and the accessory. The case includes a top face portion that covers at least the opening, a case bottom face portion that is in contact with a bottom face portion, and a pair of side face portions facing one another; at least the top face portion is configured of a transparent sheet-like member; and the package body further includes an accessory storage container that stores the accessory and has a height from a top face of the bottom face portion to the top face portion.

Animal litter box package body

Pet toilet

An animal toilet has a lengthwise direction, a horizontal direction and an up-down direction that are orthogonal to each other. The animal toilet is provided with an upper container that is provided with a plurality of holes through which urine passes below, a lower container that is positioned below the upper container and has formed an insert hole on a front face along the lengthwise direction, a tray that is housed from the insert hole into the lower container in a manner being allowed to be pulled out forward, and an absorbent sheet that is placed on a bottom face of the tray and receives and absorbs the urine that falls through the holes of the upper container. The tray includes a pair of horizontal walls being provided along the horizontal direction and standing upward from the bottom face at both lengthwise ends, and a pair of lengthwise walls being provided along the lengthwise direction and standing upward from the bottom face at both horizontal ends, in order to section a placing area of the absorbent sheet. A horizontal wall displaced part, having the horizontal wall displaced outward along the lengthwise direction, is formed at a horizontal end part of the horizontal wall and a lengthwise wall displaced part, having the lengthwise wall displaced outward along the horizontal direction, is formed at a lengthwise end part of the lengthwise wall, in a manner corresponding to at least one corner part of four corner parts of the placing area.

A production method for animal excretion treatment material and a production device therefor, having a step in which a raw material is pulverized and a pulverized material is obtained and a step in which the pulverized material is granulized. In the step in which the pulverized material is obtained, the raw material is pulverized by a pulverizer and the pulverized material is obtained. The pulverizer has: an insertion port for the raw material; a pulverization chamber for the raw material; a pulverization mechanism provided inside the pulverization chamber; a mesh screen through which passes the raw material pulverized by the pulverization mechanism and having a plurality of openings; and a discharge port connected to the openings in the mesh screen.

Production method for animal excrement treatment material and production device therefor

Provided is a litter box for animals in which a suitable amount of excretion treating agent can be determined visually. A litter box for animals is provided with a granule accommodating container that accommodates a plurality of granules. The granule accommodating container is provided with: a container main body, which has a lower surface part and a side wall part standing up from the peripheral edge of the lower surface part; and a protruding part, which has a protruding part lower surface, which sticks out toward the outside from the side wall part on the container main body and is curved at a prescribed angle with respect to the side wall part, and a protruding part side wall. The lower end part of the protruding part lower surface is positioned above the upper end part of the lower surface part.

Animal litter box

An excreta treatment material in which the effect of chemicals including a perfume can be efficiently and sufficiently exhibited. This excreta treatment material is configured from a plurality of particulate substances, wherein the plurality of particulate substances comprises a mixture of base granules composed of aggregates of a water-absorbing particulate substance and chemical granules composed of aggregates of a chemical-containing particulate substance, the chemical granules moving upward upon application of vibration to the mixture.

Excreta treatment material
