(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, in the toilet bowl for pets, the toilet floor is formed in a constant shape such as a thin box shape having a substantially square shape, and the toilet floor is fixedly formed to have an area in which the intended pet can be comfortably accommodated. It was

(C) Problems to be solved by the invention However, as described above, a pet toilet with an area large enough for a pet to enter can occupy an area large enough to be held by both hands. It is sometimes bulky and extremely inconvenient to handle.

For example, when packaging a toilet bowl as a single product, a lot of service materials such as boxes and wrapping paper are required, and when it is transported, the volume of the product is bulky and the number of loaded items is small, so efficient transportation cannot be performed. This causes not only an increase in cost but also a decrease in work efficiency.

In consideration of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a pet toilet bowl which has a smaller occupied area and is advantageous in terms of cost and work efficiency.

(D) Means for Solving Problems This invention is for pets in which the toilet floor of a pet toilet is formed of a plurality of fan-shaped fan blades and is concatenably formed between both side walls on both sides of the toilet floor. It is a toilet bowl.

(E) Action When the pet toilet of the present invention is not used or is transported, a plurality of fan pieces are folded between the side walls to reduce the lateral area of the toilet.

When using a toilet bowl for pets, the fan piece is spread to form a toilet floor, and floor material such as sheets is placed on the toilet floor.

(F) Effects of the Invention As described above, according to this invention, the occupying area of the toilet floor can be reduced, so that the shape can be made more compact, and when packaging the toilet bowl as a product, a smaller box can be used. With a small area of wrapping paper, the amount of service material required can be reduced.

In addition, since the area and volume are very small when folded, a large number of products can be transported at one time during transportation, workability is improved, and transportation cost can be reduced. Moreover, since it can be folded into a substantially columnar shape by sandwiching a toilet bowl that is wide in the lateral direction, it is much easier for consumers to carry than a toilet bowl with a width that is conventionally large enough to be held with both hands.

Furthermore, since the toilet bowl is formed into a substantially fan shape, it has an effect that the work of compacting the both side walls can be performed very easily.

It is composed of 5, 6, 7, and 8 and is sequentially arranged between the side wall 3 and the storage wall 4, respectively.

The first agitating piece 5 on the side wall 3 side is integrally formed with the above-described side wall on one side, and has a fan-shaped base portion with a rotation hole 5a as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in FIG.
It is formed in a letter shape, and a locking projection 5b is provided on the other side of the front surface.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the second agitating piece 6 arranged on the upper surface of the first agitating piece 5 with a slight width is also arranged.
Similar to the first agitating piece 5, a pivot hole 6a is formed in the base portion, and the front portion is formed in an inverted U shape. Lower end 6b formed in inverted U shape
Has the same height as the lower end 5c of the first agitating piece 5. Further, when the second fan piece 6 is opened by forming the lock hole 6c at a position corresponding to the lock projection 5b on the front surface of the first fan piece 5, the lock projection 5b of the first fan piece 5 is opened. The material elasticity of the part is used for locking.

On the other hand, on the other side of the locking hole 6c, a locking protrusion 6d similar to the locking protrusion 5b formed on the first fan piece 5 is formed.

Similarly to the second agitating piece 6, the third agitating piece 7 and the fourth agitating piece 8 also have turning holes 7a, 8a, locking projections 7b and locking holes 7c, 8b, respectively, and lower ends 7d, 8c. They are formed so that they have the same height, and are sequentially arranged.

It should be noted that instead of the locking projections, the fourth fan piece 8 has a storage wall 4 instead.
A locking strip 8d is formed along one side.

As shown in FIG. 2, the side wall 3 is formed with a predetermined width of a pivotal mounting hole 3a smaller than the rotating hole 5a at an intermediate position above the rotating hole 5a of the first fan piece 5. is doing.

The above-mentioned storage wall 4 facing this also has pivot holes 4a, 4a similar to those of the side wall 3 at the base thereof at positions sandwiching the pivot hole 3a of the side wall 3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, each agitating piece 5-8 is provided on the front part.
The storage groove 4b is formed when the container is folded, the lower end 4c of the front part is formed at the same height as the lower ends of the fan pieces 5 to 8 described above, and the expanded toilet floor 2 is provided at the rear part of the storage groove 4b. An accommodating portion 4d for accommodating the sheets 9 and the like to be laid is formed.

Further, the above-mentioned locking strip that overlaps with the fourth agitating piece 8 to some extent.
A stopper 4e is formed along the length direction at a position corresponding to 8d to prevent the spread beyond a certain level.

As shown in FIG. 2, each of these members includes a first agitating piece 5
The pivot holes 5a of the second fan piece 6, the third fan piece 7 and the fourth fan piece 8 are overlapped with the pivot holes 6a, 7a, 8a, and the pivot hole 4a of the storage wall 4 is formed.
Are arranged above and below the pivot hole 3a of the side wall 3, and the pivot shaft is attached from above.
10 is inserted, and each fan piece 5 is attached to the lower end of the inserted pivot shaft 10.
A cap 11 having a size corresponding to the turning holes 5a, 6a, 7a, 8a formed in 8 is fitted to form the pet toilet 1. The height of the lower surface of the cap 11 is determined by the lower ends 5c, 6b, 7d, 8c of the first to fourth fan pieces 5, 6, 7, 8 and the lower end of the storage wall 4.
It is the same as the height of 4c.

The pet toilet 1 configured as described above is provided with the respective locking protrusions 5b, 6d, 7b that project from the front of the toilet when not in use or during transportation.
