Combination cat scratching board

Abstract

This invention relates to a modular cat scratching board, comprising a plurality of scratching plates and a plurality of assembly components. Each assembly component is positioned between two adjacent scratching plates and includes two engaging members and a connecting member. The two engaging members are respectively fixed to two scratching plates, and each engaging member forms an engaging groove. The width of the engaging groove gradually increases with distance from the other engaging member. The connecting member is detachably fitted into the engaging groove of the two engaging members and has two fitting portions corresponding to the two engaging members, each fitting portion being fitted into the engaging groove of the engaging member. The thickness of each fitting portion gradually increases with the depth of the groove closest to the bottom of the engaging groove, thus securing it within the corresponding engaging member. By having the fitting portion of the connecting member fitted into the engaging member and unable to move along the mating surface perpendicular to the scratching plates, the stability between the scratching plates is improved.

Claims

1. A modular cat scratching board, comprising: a plurality of scratching plate bodies; a plurality of modular components, each modular component being disposed between two adjacent scratching plate bodies, and each modular component having: two connecting members, respectively fixed to the two scratching plate bodies, and each connecting member forming: a connecting groove recessed in the side of the connecting member facing the other connecting member, and the width of the connecting groove gradually increasing with distance from the corresponding other connecting member; a connecting member detachably embedded in the connecting groove of the two connecting members, and having: two fitting portions corresponding to the two connecting members, and each fitting portion being fitted into the connecting groove of the corresponding connecting member, the thickness of each fitting portion gradually increasing with proximity to the bottom of the connecting groove of the corresponding connecting member, so as to be fixed in the corresponding connecting member.

2. The combined cat scratching post as described in claim 1, wherein, Each of the joints has at least one positioning groove recessed into one of the groove walls of the joint; each of the fitting portions has at least one positioning portion protruding from one side of the fitting portion and detachably inserted into the at least one positioning groove of the corresponding joint to restrict the movement of the connector relative to the two joints.

3. The combined cat scratching post as described in claim 2, wherein, The at least one positioning groove of each of the coupling members and the at least one positioning portion of each of the fitting portions are located at one end of the corresponding assembly.

4. The combined cat scratching post as described in claim 2 or 3, wherein, Each of the connectors has at least one guide groove formed in the engagement groove. The at least one guide groove is elongated and has an open end and a connecting end. The open end forms an opening on one end face of the connector. The connecting end extends toward and connects to the at least one positioning groove. The groove depth of the at least one guide groove gradually decreases from the open end toward the connecting end.

5. The combined cat scratching post as described in claim 2 or 3, wherein, The at least one positioning groove has two positioning grooves, and the two positioning grooves are respectively located on opposite two groove walls of the mating groove; the at least one positioning part has two positioning parts, and the two positioning parts are respectively located on opposite sides of the fitting part.

6. The combined cat scratching board as described in claim 2 or 3, wherein the connector and the two joints of each of the combined components are elongated; the combined cat scratching board has two shielding members, each shielding member being disposed at one end of the connector and shielding one end face of the corresponding connector and one end face of the corresponding joint.

7. The combined cat scratching board as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the scratching board body comprises two arc-shaped scratching board bodies and a rectangular scratching board body, the two arc-shaped scratching board bodies being disposed on opposite sides of the rectangular scratching board body by means of two of the combined components.

8. A combination cat scratching board as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the material of the scratching board body comprises corrugated cardboard.

9. The combined cat scratching board as described in claim 2 or 3, wherein the connector of each of the combined components has an installation indicator formed on one end face of the connector.

10. A modular cat scratching board, comprising: a plurality of scratching plates, each scratching plate having: a groove recessed in the side of the scratching plate facing another scratching plate, the width of the groove gradually increasing with distance from the corresponding other scratching plate; a plurality of assembly components, each assembly component disposed between two adjacent scratching plates, each assembly component having: a connector detachably embedded in the groove of the two adjacent scratching plates, and having: two fitting portions corresponding to the grooves of the two scratching plates respectively, each fitting portion being fitted into the groove of the corresponding scratching plate, the thickness of each fitting portion gradually increasing with distance from the bottom of the groove of the corresponding scratching plate, so as to be fixed in the corresponding scratching plate.
