[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3A multi-purpose stool includes an upwardly inclined stool body 1, a downwardly inclined stool body 2, and stool legs 3. The upwardly inclined stool body 1 and the downwardly inclined stool body 2 have essentially the same shape, with the upper end face of the upwardly inclined stool body 1 being an upwardly inclined surface 11, and the lower end face of the downwardly inclined stool body 2 being a downwardly inclined surface 21; therefore, the shapes of the upwardly inclined stool body 1 and the downwardly inclined stool body 2 are similar to triangular prisms with right-angled triangles on their sides. Stool legs 3 are installed on the lower end face of the downwardly inclined stool body 2, specifically four stool legs 3. The stool legs 3 are cuboid or cylindrical in shape, and are located at the four corners near the lower end face of the downwardly inclined stool body 2. The four stool legs 3 are of the same length and shape. Of course, in other embodiments, the stool legs 3 can be three, five, or other numbers that can keep the stool stable on the ground; or the stool legs 3 can adopt other shapes, such as a star shape or an X shape. One end of the upper inclined stool 1 is hinged to one end of the lower inclined stool 2. This hinge connection can be achieved using hinges, pivots, or other similar structures. The upper inclined stool 1 can rotate upwards or downwards relative to the hinged end of the upper inclined stool 1 and the lower inclined stool 2. Figure 1 When the upper inclined stool 1 rotates upward, it stacks on top of the lower inclined stool 2, with the upper inclined surface 11 tightly against the lower inclined surface 21. The upper inclined stool 1 and the lower inclined stool 2 form an approximately cubic stool, thus creating a stool shape. In this shape, the multi-purpose stool can be used as a stool, footstool, side table, etc. Figure 2 When the upper inclined stool 1 rotates downward, it is equivalent to the upper inclined stool 1 being flipped over. At this time, the upper inclined surface 11 faces upward, and the upper inclined surface 11 and the lower inclined surface 21 are spliced ​​together to form a slope. At this time, the upper inclined stool 1 and the lower inclined stool 2 are in an unfolded state and form a climbing shape. In this form, the multi-purpose stool can be used as a climbing ladder for pets such as cats and dogs.

[0027] By designing the main body of the stool as consisting of an upwardly tilting stool body 1 and a downwardly tilting stool body 2, which are hinged together, the stool can serve at least two purposes: a stool and a climbing ladder for pets. This multi-purpose stool has a simple structure, making it ideal for pet owners. Users don't need to purchase a separate climbing ladder for their pets, saving costs. Switching between different uses is also convenient and easy. When used as a climbing ladder for pets, the multi-purpose stool provides a play area, especially suitable for breeds with shorter legs like Poodles and Corgis, as well as older dogs. Compared to dogs jumping on regular stools or sofas, the climbing ladder design of this multi-purpose stool protects the dog's joints and provides greater security.

[0028] In some embodiments, both the upper inclined surface 11 and the lower inclined surface 21 are provided with climbing fabric 4, which is mainly used to facilitate pets to climb on the slope. Specifically, the climbing fabric 4 can be made of polyester fiber or sisal padding to provide cushioning and anti-slip properties, effectively protecting the pet's leg joints. Velcro is provided on the bottom surface of the climbing fabric 4, allowing it to be directly attached to the upper inclined surface 11 and the lower inclined surface 21, which is convenient, quick, and easy to remove and replace. In other embodiments, the climbing fabric 4 can also be fixed to the upper inclined surface 11 and the lower inclined surface 21 by adhesive backing or sewing.

[0029] In some embodiments, when the upper inclined stool 1 is rotated downwards so that the upper inclined surface 11 faces upwards and forms a slope with the lower inclined surface 21, the inclination angle of the slope (the inclination angle relative to the ground) is ∠A (not shown in the figure), 20°≤∠A≤40°. Within the range of 20° to 40°, climbing stairs is more friendly to Corgis, Teddy dogs, and senior dogs, reducing the impact on their knees and spine; specifically, according to veterinary recommendations, setting the inclination angle at 23° is more scientifically sound.

[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The upper surface of the inclined stool 1 is provided with an anti-slip cushioning layer 5. The upper surface of the inclined stool 1 refers to the upward-facing end surface in the stool form, and this upper surface is opposite to the inclined surface 11. The anti-slip cushioning layer 5 can be formed by filling the fabric with sponge or cotton. By setting the anti-slip cushioning layer 5, the comfort of people sitting on the stool is improved, and it also provides softer support for pets when climbing.

[0031] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A handle 6 is provided at the end of the upper inclined stool 1 away from its hinge point with the lower inclined stool 2. The handle 6 can be a strip of cloth sewn onto the upper inclined stool 1 or a strip of cloth wrapped into a loop. By providing the handle 6, it is convenient for people to rotate the upper inclined stool 1 upward to fold it or rotate it downward to unfold it.

[0032] In some embodiments, the upper inclined stool 1 is fitted with a removable seat cover (not shown in the figure). The seat cover is fitted over the upper inclined stool 1 from top to bottom, but the upper inclined surface 11 is not covered. Specifically, the seat cover can be a cloth cover with an elastic cord around the opening, so that after being fitted over the upper inclined stool 1, the elastic cord at the opening is tightly secured to the upper inclined stool 1. Of course, the seat cover can also be fastened with Velcro. By providing a removable seat cover, the upper inclined stool 1 can be protected, and if it gets dirty, only the seat cover needs to be removed for cleaning, which is simple and convenient. The lower inclined stool 2 can also be fitted with a removable seat cover to protect the lower inclined stool 2.

[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4The inclined stool 2 has an inwardly recessed storage cavity 7 on its side. This storage cavity 7 increases storage capacity, making it convenient to store items such as pet balls and plush toys. Pets can also retrieve toys from the storage cavity 7, increasing playability. With the storage cavity 7 provided, the inclined stool 2 does not require a seat cover.

[0034] In some embodiments, a door (not shown in the figure) covers the opening of the storage cavity 7. The door can be installed at the opening of the storage cavity 7 of the inclined stool 2 via a hinged structure such as a hinge, and a door handle (not shown in the figure) is provided on the door for easy opening and closing. By providing a door, the sealing of the storage cavity 7 can be improved, and items inside the storage cavity 7 are less likely to fall out; when it is necessary to take out an object from the storage cavity 7, the door can be opened, which is convenient and quick.

[0035] Please see Figure 5 The upper end of the stool leg 3 is provided with an upwardly protruding screw 8, and the lower end face of the inclined stool body 2 is provided with an upwardly extending threaded hole 22. The screw 8 is screwed into the threaded hole 22 to make the screw 8 threadedly connected to the threaded hole 22, thereby installing the stool leg 3 on the inclined stool body 2. The screw 8 and the threaded hole 22 make the installation of the stool leg 3 easier; and the stool leg 3 is detachable from the inclined stool body 2. When packaging and transporting, the stool leg 2 can be removed, which can greatly reduce the packaging volume, reduce transportation costs, and prevent damage during transportation.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
