Liquid-absorbing sheet for animal litter box

Abstract

An animal litter box system that can be used for a long time about 3 to 10 days and can prevent the occurrence of undesirable odors is to be provided, particularly to provide a liquid-absorbing sheet used for the animal litter box system. A liquid-absorbing sheet used for an animal litter box is characterized by comprising an antimicrobial and bacteriostatic part having both an antimicrobial property and a bacteriostatic property; or both of an antimicrobial part having an antimicrobial property and a bacteriostatic part having a bacteriostatic property.

1 . An animal litter box comprising: 
 a granular material container having an opening for an animal going in and out, and a liquid passing bottom part on which granular materials are dispersed; and a liquid-absorbing sheet holder placed under the bottom part of the granular material container on which a liquid-absorbing sheet is placed,    wherein the bottom part of the granular material container has a liquid leading part formed by connected arches on a side facing the liquid-absorbing sheet.    
     
     
         2 . The animal litter box according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom part is grid ironed having a plurality of opening parts, and the opening part has dimensions smaller than those of the granular material.  
     
     
         3 . The animal litter box according to  claim 2 , wherein an open area ratio of the opening of the bottom part occupied by the opening parts is 25 to 50% of an area of the bottom part.  
     
     
         4 . The animal litter box according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom part is detachable from the granular material container.  
     
     
         5 . The animal litter box according to  claim 1 , wherein the liquid-absorbing sheet has an area greater than that of the bottom part of the granular material container.  
     
     
         6 . The animal litter box according to  claim 1 , wherein the liquid-absorbing sheet holder is loadably incorporated under the bottom part of the granular material container.  
     
     
         7 . The animal litter box according to  claim 1 , wherein the animal litter box has a drawer structure that can house a drawer body, and the liquid-absorbing sheet holder is the drawer body.  
     
     
         8 . The animal litter box according to  claim 7 , wherein the animal litter box has a drawer structure that can house a drawer body, and the liquid-absorbing sheet holder is the drawer body.  
     
     
         9 . The animal litter box according to  claim 1 , wherein the animal litter box has a cover for controlling a direction of an animal going in and out mounted detachably.  
     
     
         10 . The animal litter box according to  claim 9 , wherein a granular material dropper is detachably disposed at a position facing an opening of the cover in the animal litter box.  
     
     
         11 . The animal litter box according to  claim 10 , wherein the granular material dropper includes a granular material removing member having a mesh top plate, and a granular material recovery container disposed under the granular material removing member.  
     
     
         12 . The animal litter box according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein the granular materials has a liquid absorptive capacity wherein a maximum absorbable amount of liquid absorbed by each of the granular materials is 0.3 to 4.0 times as much as its own weight and an amount of liquid absorbed by each of the granular materials per three second is 20 to 70% of the maximum absorbable amount of liquid absorbed by each of the granular materials and has a liquid passing ratio of a mass of the granular materials is 70% or more.    
     
     
         13 . The animal litter box according to  claim 1 , wherein the liquid-absorbing sheet has an antimicrobial and bacteriostatic part having both an antimicrobial property and a bacteriostatic property, or both of an antimicrobial part having an antimicrobial property and a bacteriostatic part having a bacteriostatic property.
