Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet product design and manufacturing technology, and in particular to a double-sided cat scratching board. Background Technology

[0002] Scratching posts are an indispensable part of a cat's daily life, primarily used to satisfy their natural scratching behavior. This not only helps them sharpen their claws and stretch their bodies but also reduces the risk of damage to home furniture. However, traditional scratching posts are often designed with a single material, such as sisal or corrugated cardboard. While this single design can meet a cat's scratching needs to some extent, it fails to fully consider the individual differences between cats and their varying preferences for scratching materials.

[0003] Some cats may prefer hard, scratch-resistant surfaces, such as sisal, as these materials can withstand their vigorous scratching without easily breaking. Others may prefer softer, more easily penetrated materials, such as corrugated cardboard, which provides a more relaxed scratching experience and a faster sense of accomplishment. Furthermore, prolonged use of the same scratching post material may cause cats to lose interest and turn to other unsuitable objects for scratching, which can be challenging for pet owners.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model designs a double-sided cat scratching board. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a double-sided cat scratching post, aiming to solve the problem that existing cat scratching posts cannot meet the different preferences of different cats. The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] A double-sided cat scratching board, comprising a first scratching board made of sisal material on one side and a second scratching board made of corrugated paper material on the other side; the first and second scratching boards are detachably connected, and side layers are provided on the sides of the first and second scratching boards; the first scratching board includes a sisal layer, a first scratch-resistant layer, and a first support layer arranged in sequence, and the second scratching board includes a corrugated paper layer, a second scratch-resistant layer, and a second support layer arranged in sequence.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, both the first and second gripping plates are formed by composite pressing or bonding.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the first support layer of the first gripping plate is attached with a hook surface, and the second support layer of the second gripping plate is attached with a rough surface. The two layers can be quickly connected and separated by pressing them together.

[0009] Furthermore, the side layer is cardboard.

[0010] Preferably, the first scratch-resistant layer and the second scratch-resistant layer are selected from one or more combinations of nylon and polyester fibers.

[0011] Preferably, the first support layer and the second support layer are provided with a reinforcing structure, which is a metal wire mesh or a glass fiber reinforced plastic mesh.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are: Meeting the needs of different cats: By using sisal material on one side and corrugated cardboard on the other, it can simultaneously satisfy the different preferences of different cats for the hardness and texture of the scratching surface. This not only improves the product's applicability but also increases the cat's interest in using the scratching board. Easy cleaning and maintenance: Since the first and second scratching boards are detachably connected, cleaning or replacing a panel becomes simple and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a double-sided cat scratching board has a first scratching board 1 made of sisal material on one side and a second scratching board 2 made of corrugated paper material on the other side. The first scratching board 1 and the second scratching board 2 are detachably connected. Side layers 3 are provided on the sides of the first scratching board 1 and the second scratching board 2. The first scratching board 1 includes a sisal layer 11, a first scratch-resistant layer 12, and a first support layer 13 arranged in sequence. The second scratching board 2 includes a corrugated paper layer 21, a second scratch-resistant layer 22, and a second support layer 23 arranged in sequence.

[0026] Different cats may have different preferences for scratching materials. Sisal is generally more durable and can withstand prolonged scratching without easily breaking, making it suitable for cats that like to scratch vigorously; while corrugated cardboard is relatively soft, and its surface texture provides a good grip for the cat's paws, suitable for cats that prefer a more relaxed scratching experience. Because the double-sided design allows users to flip it over, the other side can be used when one side wears out, effectively extending the overall lifespan of the scratching post and providing pet owners with a more economical option. Sisal, as a natural fiber, has good renewability and biodegradability, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Corrugated cardboard is also easy to recycle. The combination of the two takes into account both the product's practicality and reflects the concept of environmental protection.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first scratch plate 1 is designed to include a sisal layer 11, a first scratch-resistant layer 12, and a first support layer 13 arranged in sequence, and the second scratch plate 2 is designed to include a corrugated paper layer 21, a second scratch-resistant layer 22, and a second support layer 23 arranged in sequence. At the same time, the first support layer 13 and the second support layer 23 are connected together to ensure that the sisal layer 11 and the corrugated paper layer 21 are designed to face outwards.

[0028] By setting scratch-resistant layers and support layers behind the sisal layer 11 and the corrugated paper layer 21 respectively, the overall strength and durability of the cat scratching board can be greatly improved. The first scratch-resistant layer 12 and the second scratch-resistant layer 22 can effectively resist the wear and tear on the surface material caused by the cat's scratching, extending its service life; while the first support layer 13 and the second support layer 23 provide the necessary structural support to prevent the cat scratching board from deforming or being damaged.

[0029] The first scratch-resistant layer 12 and the second scratch-resistant layer 22 are selected from one or more combinations of nylon and polyester fibers. Both nylon and polyester fibers are synthetic materials with high abrasion resistance. Using these materials as scratch-resistant layers effectively resists wear and tear caused by frequent scratching by cats, extending the lifespan of the scratching post. Compared to traditional single-material surfaces, this design better maintains the integrity and functionality of the scratching post. Both materials have a certain degree of softness and elasticity, providing a comfortable scratching experience for cats while ensuring durability. Their texture helps to mimic the feel of tree bark in natural environments, satisfying cats' natural scratching desires without harming their claws.

[0030] The first support layer 13 and the second support layer 23 are internally provided with reinforcing structures, which are metal wire mesh or glass fiber reinforced plastic mesh. Both metal wire mesh and glass fiber reinforced plastic mesh have high strength and rigidity. Embedding them into the support layers can effectively improve the overall structural strength of the cat scratching board and prevent deformation, cracking or other forms of damage caused by the cat's strong scratching.

[0031] The sisal layer 11 and the corrugated paper layer 21 have several protrusions or grooves on their surfaces. The design of these protrusions or grooves significantly increases the friction between the cat's paws and the scratching surface. This helps the cat scratch more effectively, making it easier for them to sharpen their claws and providing better feedback during the scratching process.

[0032] The first gripper plate 1 and the second gripper plate 2 are composite pressed or bonded together. Composite pressing is a process that uses high pressure to tightly bond different material layers together. This method ensures a very strong bond between the layers of the first gripper plate 1 or the layers of the second gripper plate 2, forming a robust whole and effectively preventing delamination or peeling. Bonding is a method of fixing the layers together using specific adhesives or other bonding agents. Compared to composite pressing, this method offers greater flexibility, allowing for the selection of different adhesives to suit specific working environments or material properties.

[0033] The first scratching board 1 has a hook-like surface on its first support layer 13, and the second scratching board 2 has a textured surface on its second support layer 23. The two layers can be quickly connected and separated by pressing them together. Using the hook and textured surfaces, commonly known as Velcro, the two scratching boards can be easily assembled or separated. This is especially useful for households that need to regularly replace or clean their scratching boards, greatly simplifying the maintenance process. If one side is severely worn or if a different scratching experience is desired for the cat, the user can easily replace that side individually. This flexibility not only extends the product's lifespan but also allows for adjustments based on the cat's preferences. Because it is easy to disassemble and reassemble, users only need to replace the damaged parts instead of the entire product, which helps reduce waste and promotes efficient resource utilization, aligning with modern society's pursuit of sustainable development. In the long run, this design can reduce costs for pet owners. Since it eliminates the need to buy a brand new scratching board, only the worn parts need to be replaced, saving money and reducing unnecessary expenses.

[0034] The side layer 3 is made of cardboard. This side layer provides additional lateral support to the entire scratching board, helping to maintain the relative positional relationship between the first scratching plate 1 and the second scratching plate 2, ensuring a more stable connection. This is crucial for maintaining the overall structural stability and integrity of the scratching board. The side layer also protects the internal layers from external environmental factors such as moisture and dust, extending the lifespan of the scratching board. Furthermore, it reduces direct impact to the external edges during handling or use, lowering the risk of damage.

[0035] A series of small slots or latches are designed along the edges of the first gripping plate 1 and the second gripping plate 2, while the side layer 3 is correspondingly designed with matching small protrusions or latches. Thus, during assembly, the first gripping plate 1 and the second gripping plate 2 can be quickly and securely connected by inserting these protrusions into the corresponding slots or latches. When disassembly is required, they can be easily separated by gently pulling them out.

[0036] Alternatively, small magnets can be embedded inside the side layer 3, while metal sheets or other magnetic materials are placed at corresponding positions on the first gripping plate 1 and the second gripping plate 2. This approach ensures sufficient attraction to maintain structural stability while allowing the user to easily remove the side layer without tools.

[0037] The height of the side layer 3 is consistent with the superposition height of the first scratch plate 1 and the second scratch plate 2.

[0038] Preferably, the first scratching plate 1 and the second scratching plate 2 are designed with a certain curvature to allow the cat to lie down and rest. Despite the added curvature, the design ensures that this change does not affect the connection between the first scratching plate 1 and the second scratching plate 2. For example, the curved design can be adapted by optimizing the position, size, or shape of the hook and fur surfaces, ensuring that the two scratching plates remain firmly bonded. Furthermore, composite pressing or bonding techniques can be adjusted as needed to maintain the stability and integrity of the structure.

[0039] Cat scratching boards can be designed in round, oval, and various other shapes.

[0040] The cat scratching board also includes support corners 4, each comprising a short side 41 and a long side 42. A mounting groove 43 is provided between the short side 41 and the long side 42, the width of which is the same as the width of the cat scratching board. There are three support corners 4, and each support corner 4 is made of plastic.

[0041] When the cat scratching post needs to be used upright and against a wall, support corners 4 can be used. Select a certain number of support corners 4 according to the shape and size of the cat scratching post. Attach strong adhesive, 3M adhesive, or double-sided adhesive to the back of the long side 42. Then install the cat scratching post in the mounting groove 43 and attach the support corners 4 to the wall.

[0042] The system features three support angles 4, which can be positioned on the left, right, and bottom sides of the scratching post. The top opening allows for easy removal and replacement of the scratching post. On one hand, the support angles 4 provide vertical fixation for the scratching post; on the other hand, they offer some protection.

[0043] It should be noted that the hook and loop fasteners, the connection between the gripper and the side layer 3, the composite pressing, and the bonding process in this embodiment are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The present invention has been described above by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications or variations made based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
