Description

{Toilet seat for cat}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a toilet seat for cats, and more particularly, to a toilet seat using sanitary napkins which is mounted on a toilet bowl used by a person,

As the number of cats grows, a variety of products have been released along with various studies in cats related to cats, sanitation, feces disposal, and cosmetics.

Here, in relation to the cat litter in the field of cat litter, the cat is a wet bar that excretes in the sand and covers the excrement with sand, and as the cat litter sheet, sand or pellets (hereinafter abbreviated as sand) It was a common practice to use it. However, in such a case, various sanitary problems such as smell from cat litter and breeding of germs are caused, and sand is periodically changed, so there is a problem that maintenance cost is high.

In order to solve such a problem, a cat toilet (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1125972) has been proposed which is installed in a toilet so that the cat's toilet can be directly introduced into the toilet. When such a toilet seat for cats is used, it is very hygienic because the cat's toilet is treated only by pressing the water lowering lever of the toilet, and there is no need to purchase the sand, and the maintenance cost is remarkably reduced.

Meanwhile, it takes a long time to train the cat until the cat gets used to the toilet through toilet training. If the toilet seat is not easy to remove, it is inconvenient for people and cat to use the toilet. There are disadvantages. In addition, when a sensitive animal cat climbs up on a toilet seat and tries to see the claws, it is necessary to firmly fix the claws so that they can stand up even if the user treads on the edge of the claws. Is installed so as to cover the middle part of the toilet seat for a person, so that it can be easily shaken up when the cat is lifted. In addition, if a sand barrel is placed under a toilet seat, it is difficult to secure a sand barrel of a size suitable for a toilet and it is difficult to firmly fix the barrel, and it is difficult for a person to remove a cat litter sheet to use a toilet seat There are disadvantages. Accordingly, in a home having two or more toilets, there is a case in which a cat is used for a single toilet during a training period. When the cat is urged to perform a cat training so as to quickly complete the training due to such inconvenience There is a problem that cats fail to adapt and fail.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a toilet seat according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a toilet seat according to the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are a perspective view and a bottom perspective view of a toilet seat according to the present invention.

The toilet seat according to the present invention is provided on a toilet seat of a toilet bowl used by a person so that a cat can see a toilet in a toilet. The toilet seat can easily perform a toilet training without a great stress So that it is constituted.

That is, the toilet seat according to the present invention includes a foot panel 100 formed in a horizontal plate shape having a size that can be mounted on a toilet seat 10 for a human being and having a panel opening 110 formed at a center thereof, A fastening part 200 for rotatably connecting the footrest panel 100 to a seat shaft 24 to which a seat hinge 12 of a toilet seat 10 for a human being is coupled, And a sand storage bucket 400 coupled to the bottom of the sand storage plate 300 so as to be detachable from the bottom of the foot storage panel 300, . In this embodiment, only the structure in which the sand storage plate 300 is coupled to the foot plate 100 by the fastening screw 302 is shown, but the sand storage plate 300 may have any structure, May be coupled to the foot panel 100.

A through hole 310 is formed in the center of the sand storage plate 300 and a blocking plate 320 is installed to cover the through hole 310. The blocking plate 320 is installed A certain amount of sand can be accumulated on the sand storage plate 300. When a cat is trained to see a toilet in the toilet from the beginning, the cat feels a sense of rejection due to stress. However, as mentioned above, a certain amount of sand is stacked on the sand storage plate 300, It can be used as a cat toilet (a box-shaped toilet containing sand), so that it is advantageous that a cats who first touches the toilet seat according to the present invention can perform a training without having a sense of resistance.

In order to allow a certain amount of sand to be stored in the footing panel 100, the footing panel 100 must be recessed. When the upper surface of the footing panel 100 is formed to be inclined as a whole, There is a disadvantage in that it can not be stably sitting on the floor. On the contrary, if the entire upper surface of the foot panel 100 is made flat so that the cat can be stably positioned, there is a problem that a large amount of sand can not be stacked on the foot panel 100. Therefore, the footing panel 100 according to the present invention is configured such that the upper surface of the footing panel 100 is formed in a generally planar shape so that a large amount of sand can be accumulated in the center portion of the footing panel 100, The inclined surface 120 is inclined obliquely in a direction of lowering toward the panel opening 110 at a portion corresponding to the edge.

If only the portion where the panel opening 110 is formed is concave downward, a large amount of sand can be stacked on the sand storage plate 300 installed so as to close the panel opening 110, It is possible to stably sit on the portable terminal 100. At this time, the inclination angle and the size of the inclined surface 120 can be variously changed according to various conditions such as the size of the foot panel 100, the body structure of the cat, the amount of sand to be piled up, It is omitted.

Meanwhile, if the blocking plate 320 that is seated to cover the through hole 310 of the sand storage plate 300 is formed in a plate shape having no penetrating holes, the urine of the cat can not be discharged below the sand storage plate 300 As the sand on the sand storage plate 300 is maintained in a moisture-permeable state, problems such as malodor and pathogenic bacteria are generated. Accordingly, the blocking plate 320 included in the present invention can prevent the sand deposited on the upper side from being transmitted downwardly, while allowing the urine of the cat to pass downward, It is preferable that a hole having a size allowing urine to pass therethrough is formed.

Reference numeral 130 in the drawings denotes an anti-shock sponge.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a structure in which a toilet seat according to the present invention is coupled to a toilet seat, and FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view showing a shape in which a toilet seat according to the present invention is removed from a toilet seat.

The toilet seat according to the present invention is configured to be easily detached from the toilet when the user intends to use the toilet bowl during the training period in which the sand is to be stored or when the toilet seat for cleaning and sanitizing the toilet seat is to be cleaned and disinfected . That is, the fastening part 200 has an insertion slit 212 (not shown) in which one side is coupled to the footing panel 100 and the other side is downwardly extended toward the seat shaft 24, The hinge shaft 222 is connected to the connection bracket 210 at a position above the insertion slit 212 so as to be rotatable about the hinge shaft 222 and is rotated in one direction A rotation hook 220 which is engaged with the lower end of the rotation shaft 22 so as to surround the lower surface of the seat shaft 24 inserted into the insertion slit 212, And a restoring spring 240 for applying an elastic force to the spring 220. The toilet seat 20 for connecting the toilet seat 10 to the toilet seat has a protruding portion 22 protruding upward from the upper surface and the seat shaft 24 is horizontally And the coupling part 200 functions to connect the foot plate 100 to the toilet.

Since the insertion slit 212 of the connection bracket 210 is opened and the left and right sides are closed, when the seat shaft 24 is inserted into the insertion slit 212, the connection bracket 210 moves left and right And the rotation hook 220 is opened in the lateral direction (left direction in this embodiment) and the upper and lower portions are closed. Therefore, when the seat shaft 24 is caught by the rotation hook 220, And is fixed so as not to move in the vertical direction. That is, if the connecting bracket 210 is configured to be able to rotate about the seat shaft 24 while keeping the fixed state without moving vertically and horizontally, The user can use the toilet seat 10 for human use after rotating the toilet seat in the upward direction so as to lift it upward, which is advantageous in that it is very convenient to use.

At this time, the connection brackets 210 are provided at the left and right ends of one of the one foot panel 100 so that the foot panel 100 can be pivoted without being shifted left or right, It is preferable that they are connected to the respective connection brackets 210 one by one. It is also preferable that a connecting bar 230 connecting the upper portion of the pair of pivoting hooks 220 is further provided so that the two pivoting hooks 220 can be rotated integrally.

Since the rotation hook 220 is rotated in the direction to be fastened to the seat shaft 24 by the elastic force of the restoration spring 240, the rotation hook 220 is caught by the seat shaft 24 State. At this time, if the restoring spring 240 can apply an elastic force to the pivoting hook 220, the restoring spring 240 may have various structures other than the structure shown in this embodiment.

When the toilet seat according to the present invention is to be detached from the toilet seat, the user rotates the connecting bar 230 in a direction in which the rotating hook 220 is detached from the seat shaft 24 (counterclockwise in FIG. 5) . 5, since the seat shaft 24 is inserted only in the insertion slit 212 which is open at the lower side when the rotation of the rotation shaft 220 of the rotation hook 220 is released, The toilet seat can be lifted up and removed from the toilet seat.

When the rotating hook 220 is excessively pressed against the seat shaft 24 by the elastic force of the restoring spring 240, the rotating hook 220 and the seat shaft 24 are rotated when the toilet seat according to the present invention is rotated. A large frictional force may be generated between the rotating hook 220 and the seat shaft 24, resulting in a large noise, and wear of the rotating hook 220 and the seat shaft 24 may occur. Therefore, it is preferable that a stopper 214 is provided on the lower side of the connection bracket 210 to limit the rotation range of the rotation hook 220 by the elastic force of the restoration spring 240. The stopper 214 is provided at a position where the stopper 214 contacts the end of the rotation hook 220 when the rotation hook 220 is rotated so that the seat shaft 24 is engaged. The shape of the hook 220, and the like.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a combined structure of the sand storage plate 300 and the sand storage bucket 400, and FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing a structure in which a plurality of disks are mounted on the storage body 430.

When the cats first use the crotch toilet seat according to the present invention, the blocking plate 320 is placed on the sand storage plate 300 so as to have a feeling similar to that of using the cat litter filled with sand, A certain amount of sand is stacked on the plate 320. After the cat is applied to some extent, the blocking plate 320 is removed to deposit sand on the sand storage plate 300.

In this case, if the water in the toilet can be directly seen through the through hole 310 of the sand storage plate 300, the cat may have a sense of refusal, so that the sand storage bucket 400 is mounted on the lower side of the sand storage plate 300, A certain amount of sand is accumulated in the storage bucket (400). In order to allow the sand storage bucket 400 to be detachably coupled to the sand storage plate 300, three or more fastening hooks 330 (not shown) arranged to surround the through holes 310 are formed on the bottom surface of the sand storage plate 300, Wherein the sand storage bucket 400 comprises a mounting ring 410 mounted to the three or more locking hooks 330 and at least three vertical bars 420 extending downward from the mounting ring 410, And a storage body 430 formed in a downwardly concave container shape and coupled to the lower side of the three or more vertical bars 420.

It is preferable to gradually increase the amount of sand to be loaded on the sand storage bucket 400 while gradually increasing the holes formed in the bottom plate of the sand storage bucket 400. [

7, the storage body 430 is formed in the shape of a concave container having a bottom hole 432 formed at the center thereof, and the bottom plate 432 of the storage body 430 is formed to cover the bottom hole 432, A second original plate 444 that is seated on the upper surface of the first original plate 442 so as to cover a first center hole 443 formed in the center of the first original plate 442, A third original plate 446 seated on the upper surface of the second original plate 444 so as to cover a second center hole 445 formed in the center of the second original plate 444, And a fourth circular plate 448 which is seated on the upper surface of the third circular plate 446 so as to cover the third center hole 447 formed therein. In the present embodiment, only the structure in which the multi-stage shielding unit 440 for covering the bottom hole 432 of the storage body 430 is composed of four discs is shown, but the number of the original plates may be variously changed .

At this time, the first center hole 443 is smaller in diameter than the bottom hole 432, the second center hole 445 is smaller in diameter than the first center hole 443, The plurality of discs 447 are formed to have a smaller diameter than the second center hole 445. The function of the plurality of discs to be stacked in this manner will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

8 and 9 are vertical cross-sectional views showing an example of using a toilet seat according to the present invention.

8, when the toilet seat 320 according to the present invention is used for the first time, a shield plate 320 is attached to the sand storage plate 300 and then a large amount of sand 1 is attached to the sand storage plate 300 By stacking, we create a common sand toilet environment. 8, the blocking plate 320 is removed to open the through-hole 310 of the sand storage plate 300 and to the storage body 430 of the sand storage bucket 400 By loading the sand (1), the cat adapts to the step of free falling of its own toilet.

At this time, when the toilet seat according to the present invention is detached from the toilet bowl and placed on the floor of the toilet, when the storage body 430 directly contacts the floor of the toilet, water accumulated on the toilet floor permeates into the storage body 430 And a support leg 421 protruding further downward than the bottom surface of the storage body 430 may be provided at the lower end of the vertical bar 420. The number, shape, length, etc. of the support legs 421 can be variously changed as long as the storage body 430 can be spaced upward from the toilet floor.

When the defecation training in the above-mentioned step is adapted, the fourth disk 448 located at the uppermost one of the plurality of disks stacked on the storage body 430 is removed, 310 and the storage body 430 to allow the cat to see the water in the toilet. At this time, if the bottom hole 432 of the storage body 430 is exposed all at once, the cat may be frightened and feel a sense of resistance, so that the discs located on the uppermost one of the plurality of discs are step- desirable. 9, sand 1 may be stacked on the edge of the bottom surface of the storage body 430, thereby providing a psychological stability to the cat Thus, there is an advantage that the training can be performed more successfully.

9, when all of the disks stacked on the storage body 430 are removed to expose the bottom hole 432 as a whole, the user can sit on the foot panel 100 So that the cat's toilet can be inserted directly into the toilet through the through-hole 310 and the bottom hole 432. When the cat's toilet is put into the toilet immediately, the cat's toilet can be treated only by pressing the lever of the toilet, which is advantageous in that it is very easy to handle the cat. In addition, since there is no need to periodically replace sand for cat litter, maintenance costs are significantly reduced.

In the meantime, when the final training is completed, the sand storage bucket 400 may be removed from the fastening hook 330. Even when the sand storage bucket 400 needs to be retaken, Can be attached.

When the cat's bowel movement is progressed to some extent, the sand storage plate 300 is removed from the footing panel 100 to open the entire panel opening 110. When the entire panel opening 110 is opened from the beginning, it is possible to perform an operation that interferes with the training of the toilet, such as drinking the toilet bowl by inserting the head into the panel opening 110. As a result, It is preferable to gradually perform the defecation training step by step by step.

Of course, even after opening the entire panel opening 110 after the completion of the bowel movement training, the user is not curious about the water in the toilet. Therefore, it is preferable to open the entire panel opening 110 in order to prevent the catheter from accidentally touching the toilet seat while the cat is being used.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It will also be appreciated that many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
