Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pet equipment, and more specifically, to a claw cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Devices for cleaning animal claws have been disclosed in prior art patent documents.

[0003] For example, US6851391 discloses a device for cleaning animal claws, which generally includes an elongated rigid cylindrical sidewall having end walls and an opening edge that substantially seals to the animal claw when the claw is withdrawn from the device. The edge preferably has slots such that the claw is guided into the device without being hooked or caught. A cleaning element may be provided within the device to assist in cleaning the claw. The cleaning element may be a sponge, a brush, multiple protrusions, or other related objects. In use, the device is partially filled with liquid, and the claw is inserted through the edge and into the device. Then, the user agitates the claw within the device such that the claw is cleaned by contacting the cleaning element. Then, the user withdraws the claw from the device, creating a suction effect that draws additional dirt and debris away from the claw.

[0004] US11503804 discloses an automatic animal claw washer, including a container having a flexible lid and an opening at its open end, and multiple brushes fixed therein. The brushes are in mechanical communication with a mechanism that can be actuated by a switch. The multiple brushes move in a rotational manner when actuated. The flexible lid can be removed from the washer.

[0005] However, claw cleaners typically require adding liquid soap to water to enhance the cleaning process, which is both inconvenient and messy. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] Therefore, the utility model provides a device that allows the use of solid form soap or other similar cleaning compounds in a claw cleaner.

[0007] Water can be added to the device of the embodiment of the utility model to dissolve a portion of the solid soap or other cleaning compound to form a solution, and then the solution can be used to clean the animal's claws.

[0008] According to one aspect of the utility model disclosed herein, there is provided an animal claw cleaning device, comprising: an inner shell configured to hold water when water is added to the animal claw cleaning device; a cleaning composition provided in solid form; a tray disposed at the bottom of the inner shell for supporting the cleaning composition provided in solid form, wherein when water is added, a portion of the cleaning composition provided in solid form is soluble to form a solution within the inner shell.

[0009] Preferably, the animal paw cleaning device further includes a housing, and the housing provides an outer cover for the inner housing.

[0010] Preferably, the animal paw cleaning device further includes a lid assembled on the top of the housing.

[0011] Preferably, the animal paw cleaning device further includes a filter for collecting debris.

[0012] Preferably, the filter is located above the cleaning composition.

[0013] Preferably, the inner housing is cylindrical.

[0014] Preferably, the tray is circular.

[0015] Preferably, the animal paw cleaning device further includes a plurality of bristles.

[0016] Preferably, the plurality of bristles extend inward from the wall of the inner housing.

[0017] Preferably, the lid has an opening configured to allow the paw of an animal to enter.

[0018] Preferably, the housing is cylindrical. Description of the Drawings

[0019] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the disassembled manner of the device.

[0021] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the device. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0022] An animal paw cleaning device generally consists of a container for holding water, and usually includes a brush in one form or another inside this container. Users of dog paw cleaning devices sometimes add liquid soap to the water to enhance the cleaning process.

[0023] The disadvantage of using liquid soap is that it requires another container for the soap, and the soap must be added to the water every time the water in the paw cleaning device is emptied and refilled. Another disadvantage of liquid soap is that it can cause mess.

[0024] The object of the present invention is to place or integrate a container or bracket into the paw cleaning device during manufacturing. This container is used to hold a dissolvable amount of soap or other useful chemicals in solid form.

[0025] Figure 1It is a schematic diagram of a device according to an embodiment of the present invention, namely, the claw cleaning device 10.

[0026] When water is put into the claw cleaning device, a certain percentage of the solid dissolves, thus putting the soap into the water to form a solution. After use, the water is discarded, but the remaining solid soap remains in the container.

[0027] Next time when using, the user only needs to add water again. As the solid soap dissolves, the soap will automatically disperse into the water. When the soap is completely dissolved, a new soap bar can be placed on the tray of the container.

[0028] The soluble solid may also contain other beneficial components besides soap, such as anti-allergens, or substances that combine and help remove potential irritants, such as road salt used in winter.
