Description

Eco-friendly pee pads for pets

[0001] The present invention relates to an eco-friendly pee pad for pets, and more particularly, to an eco-friendly pee pad for pets, a portion of which is replaceable.

[0002] Originally, pee pads were made of absorbent materials like cardboard, toilet paper, and newspaper to handle the waste of pets like dogs and cats. However, recently, pet-specific pee pads have been used for waste disposal. These passive pee pads absorb and retain moisture in pet waste, preventing it from contaminating the surrounding environment. Compared to materials like newspaper, they also block odors caused by excrement.

[0003] However, when replacing pee pads, the owner must separately dispose of any large, solid waste. If the owner is not careful, the pee pad usage limit may be exceeded, resulting in soiling the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the owner's need to replace the pee pads every time can be physically demanding.

[0004] In addition, there has been a problem that the entire pad must be replaced regardless of the amount of feces the pet excretes relative to the area of ​​the pad.

[0005] Recently, efforts to achieve carbon neutrality have been made worldwide, and the problems associated with plastic use have been highlighted. Pet peeve pads are also being pointed out as potentially environmentally problematic due to their microplastic content.

[0006] However, in order for the pet to recognize the location of the pee pad and defecate, the size must be approximately 60 cm X 80 cm, like a conventional pee pad.

[0007] Therefore, a diaper pad that maintains the original size but is only partially replaceable should be provided.

[0008] The technical problem that the present invention aims to achieve is to provide an eco-friendly pee pad for pets in which only a portion of the pee pad can be replaced.

[0009] The eco-friendly pee pad for a pet according to the present invention is a pee pad that absorbs moisture from the urine or feces of a pet and provides a replaceable portion of the absorbed portion, and includes a base portion that is placed on the floor and at least two or more laminated portions that are laminated on an upper surface of the base portion and can create a pee area where the urine or feces of the pet are located, and at least one of the pee areas created can be replaced, and the laminated portion can completely cover the upper surface of the base portion.

[0010] In addition, the laminated portion may further include an absorbent member formed at the center of the laminated portion in contact with the base portion and made of a material that absorbs moisture, and a waterproof rib member that is joined adjacent to the absorbent member and prevents urine from leaking downward through the defecation area.

[0011] In addition, the rib member may be formed of a material that generates friction with the upper surface of the base portion.

[0012] In addition, the rib member is formed to have a relatively larger area than the absorbent member, and one side thereof can be formed as an adhesive region having adhesive strength.

[0013] In addition, the rib member can be bonded to another adjacent rib member to expand the defecation area to the base.

[0014] The present invention can be used together with conventional diaper pads, and has the effect of being environmentally friendly because only a portion can be replaced.

[0015] In addition, the present invention has the effect of allowing multiple laminated parts to be laminated according to the user's preference, thereby controlling the replacement cycle.

[0026] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0027] The advantages and features of the present invention and the method for achieving them will become clear with reference to the embodiments described in detail below together with the attached drawings.

[0028] However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be implemented in various different forms, and these embodiments are provided only to make the disclosure of the present invention complete and to fully inform a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains of the scope of the invention, and the present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims.

[0029] In addition, when describing the present invention, if it is determined that related known technologies, etc. may obscure the gist of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0030] Figure 1 is a drawing for explaining how the laminated portion (200) is replaced in an eco-friendly pet pee pad according to the present invention.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 1, the eco-friendly pet peeve pad according to the present invention may largely include a base portion (100) and a laminate portion (200).

[0032] The present invention is a pee pad that absorbs moisture from a pet's urine or feces and has a portion of the absorbed material that can be replaced, and the base (100) can be placed on the floor.

[0033] Here, the base (100) may be the same as a conventionally used diaper pad.

[0034] And, at least two or more laminated parts (200) are provided and laminated on the upper surface of the base part (100) to form a defecation area (50) where urine or feces are located, and at least one of the laminated parts (200) where the defecation area (50) is created can be replaced.

[0035] As shown, it can be confirmed that nine laminated parts (200) are spread out on the base part (100). In addition, a defecation area (50) is created in one of these, which can be removed from the base part (100) and replaced with a new laminated part (200).

[0036] In the present invention, the base (100) may include a first member (120) on which the laminated member (200) is mounted, and a second member (140) that is formed to surround the lower portion of the first member (120) or the first member (120).

[0037] Here, the first member (120) may be a material capable of absorbing moisture, and the second member (140) may be a material capable of being waterproof.

[0038] And, the laminated portion (200) is positioned on top of the base portion (100), and the laminated portion (200) may be positioned in a number of adjacent and uniform manners on the base portion (100) corresponding to the size of the base portion (100).

[0039] The laminated portion (200) may include an absorbent member (220) and a waterproof rib member (240).

[0040] The absorbent member (220) is formed at the center of the laminated member (200) that is in contact with the base member (100) and may be formed of a material that absorbs moisture.

[0041] And the waterproof rib member (240) is connected adjacent to the absorbent member (220) and can prevent water from leaking downward through the excrement area (50).

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an eco-friendly pet peeve pad may be formed such that the size of the waterproof rib member (240) is relatively large, centered around the absorbent member (220). In addition, the absorbent member (220) may be formed to surround the waterproof rib member (240) or may be formed on the lower surface of the absorbent member (220).

[0043] Through this, moisture absorbed in the excrement area (50) by the absorbent member (220) can be prevented from leaking to the floor.

[0044] Meanwhile, the laminated portion (200) can be provided in various sizes and shapes corresponding to the area of ​​the base portion (100). This will be explained with reference to Fig. 2.

[0045] FIG. 2 is a drawing for explaining that the laminated portion (200) in the eco-friendly excrement pad for pets according to the present invention can be provided in various sizes and shapes, and FIG. 3 is a drawing for explaining that the laminated portion (200) in the eco-friendly excrement pad for pets according to the present invention can be laminated in multiple pieces.

[0046] As illustrated, the laminated portion (200) may include a first laminated portion (200) formed to be relatively large in size, a second laminated portion (200) formed to be long in the left and right directions along the direction shown in the drawing, and a third laminated portion (200) formed to be long in the front-back direction, with nine laminated portions (200) arranged in FIG. 1.

[0047] This is because the shape of the base (100) is formed as a rectangular parallelepiped, so that there is no gap at the edge of the base (100), and the laminated part (200) is also formed as a rectangular parallelepiped, and by placing them on the base (100) with different sizes as shown in FIG. 2, the user can place one of the first laminated part (200), the second laminated part (200), and the third laminated part (200), which are examples of the sizes of the laminated part (200), on the base (100) by considering the location where the pet defecates and the shape of the defecation.

[0048] Additionally, the laminated portion (200) may have a form in which at least two or more are laminated along the height direction.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 3, the laminated portion (200) is shown in a form in which the laminated portion (200) including the absorbent member (220) and the waterproof rib member (240) is laminated on the base portion (100).

[0050] As shown, three laminated parts (200) are laminated on the upper surface of the base part (100), but the number of laminated parts (200) is not limited depending on the user's choice.

[0051] Meanwhile, in the present invention, the rib member may have an adhesive region (245) formed so as to have adhesive force.

[0052] An explanation of this will be provided with reference to Fig. 4.

[0053] Figure 4 is a drawing for explaining a waterproof rib member (240) in an eco-friendly pet pee pad according to the present invention.

[0054] The waterproof rib member (240) may have an adhesive area (245) formed on the upper or lower surface.

[0055] Here, the adhesive strength of the adhesive area (245) is different from the adhesive strength. When using the Korean dictionary as a standard, there is not much difference between the words adhesive and adhesion, which mean 'sticking together with stickiness', but adhesion means 'the property of forming a bonding strength immediately when in contact under low pressure conditions', and adhesion means 'the property of joining two solid surfaces with a third material that serves as an adhesive between them', and in the present invention, the adhesive area (245) of the waterproof rib member (240) may be in a form in which an adhesive is applied so that it can be easily attached and detached.

[0056] As shown, two laminated portions (200) are shown, and the first laminated portion (200) can be on the left side of the drawing and the second laminated portion (200) can be on the right side.

[0057] The first laminated portion (200) and the second laminated portion (200) may be arranged adjacent to each other on the base portion (100), and through this, the waterproof rib members (240) may overlap each other, with one being on top and the other being on the bottom.

[0058] At this time, the moisture flowing in from the absorbent member (220) through the two waterproof rib members (240) that are adhered can be prevented from flowing into the base (100).

[0059] When the laminated portion (200) in which the defecation area (50) is created due to the adhesive area (245) of the waterproof rib member (240) is removed from the base portion (100), it becomes easy to handle defecation.

[0060] This will be explained through the following drawings 5 ​​to 8.

[0061] FIG. 5 is a drawing for explaining how a waterproof rib member (240) is adhered to an eco-friendly pet excrement pad according to the present invention, and FIGS. 6 to 8 are drawings for explaining how an eco-friendly pet excrement pad according to the present invention overlaps and wraps around an excrement area (50).

[0062] As shown, when a defecation area (50) is created within the laminated portion (200), the laminated portion (200) can be wrapped around the defecation area (50).

[0063] The shape of the laminated portion (200) can be fixed by a waterproof rib member (240) so that the laminated portion (200) can be fixed in shape while being wrapped.

[0064] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a laminated portion (200) folded in half. The laminated portion (200) is folded in half with the defecation area (50) as the center, and the waterproof rib members (240) at the edges face each other, thereby enabling adhesion to the facing waterproof rib members (240).

[0065] The adhesive strength of the waterproof rib member (240) can be released by the user using a certain amount of force.

[0066] Or, if the defecation area (50) is created across two laminated parts (200), there is no problem in overlapping the two.

[0067] Since a waterproof rib member (240) is formed for each laminated portion (200), adhesion between the adhesive areas (245) of the waterproof rib members (240) of different laminated portions (200) can be possible.

[0068] Or, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, even when the laminated portion (200) is folded into a dumpling shape, the waterproof rib member (240) can be adhered to the gathered portion to prevent the laminated portion (200) from unfolding.

[0069] Meanwhile, the absorbent member (220) of the laminated portion (200) according to the present invention may be formed with an overflow prevention protrusion (222).

[0070] Fig. 9 is a drawing for explaining an overflow prevention protrusion (222) in an eco-friendly pet peeve pad according to the present invention.

[0071] As shown, the overflow prevention protrusion (222) is formed to protrude upwardly from the edge of the absorbent member (220), thereby preventing the excrement area (50) of the absorbent member (220) from expanding and preventing excrement moisture from overflowing beyond the absorbent member (220).

[0072] For this purpose, it is preferable that the overflow prevention protrusion (222) be formed to protrude upward from the upper surface of the end adjacent to the waterproof rib member (240), or it may be formed to have a shape in which the slope gradually increases from the center of the absorbent member (220) toward the edge.

[0073] Meanwhile, a non-slip pad (227) (NON-SLIP PAD) may be mounted on the lower surface of the laminated portion (200).

[0074] Figure 10 is a drawing for explaining a non-slip pad (227) formed on the lower surface of a laminated portion (200) in an eco-friendly pet excrement pad according to the present invention.

[0075] At least one non-slip pad (227) is formed on the lower part and can be formed of a material having frictional force.

[0076] Through this, the non-slip pad (227) comes into contact with the first member (120) of the base (100) and can prevent the laminated member (200) secured to the first member (120) from moving.

[0077] When a pet goes up to the upper part of the stacking part (200) to defecate on the pee pad of the present invention, the position of the stacking part (200) may move as the pet moves, and thus a situation may occur where the pet defecates on the base part (100).

[0078] To prevent this, a non-slip pad (227) may be formed at the bottom of the laminate (200).

[0079] Alternatively, according to a modified embodiment, the non-slip pad (227) may be formed on the waterproof rib member (240).

[0080] Meanwhile, a part of the waterproof rib member (240) may be provided to be torn.

[0081] As a part of the waterproof rib member (240) falls off, the fallen off part is formed long along the length direction, and the rolled absorbent member (220) can be rolled and fixed with the defecation area (50) in between.

[0082] Fig. 11 is a drawing for explaining a cut groove (247) formed in a rib member in an eco-friendly pet excrement pad according to the present invention.

[0083] As shown, it can be confirmed that a cut groove (247) is formed in a part of the waterproof rib member (240).

[0084] The cut groove (247) is cut from the outside to the inside of the waterproof rib member (240), and the user can cut the waterproof rib member (240) through it. At this time, the waterproof rib member (240) is cut adjacent to the absorbent member (220), and can be cut long depending on the length of the waterproof rib member (240).

[0085] The size and location of the cut can be changed by the user controlling the force, and at least one cut groove (247) according to the present invention can be formed in the waterproof rib member (240) formed at the edge centered on the absorbent member (220).

[0086] Meanwhile, the eco-friendly pet excrement pad according to the present invention may have a form in which a modified waterproof rib member (240) is combined around an absorbent member (220).

[0087] FIG. 12 is a drawing for explaining a modified embodiment of a waterproof rib member (240) in an eco-friendly pet peeve pad according to the present invention.

[0088] As shown, the waterproof rib member (240) may include a rib cover (242), a rib hole (243), and a lower body (244).

[0089] First, the rib cover (242) corresponds to the shape and size of the laminated portion (200) described above, and an absorbent member (220) can be installed on the upper portion.

[0090] And the rib cover (242) may be in a form that is adhered to the lower body (244) in a form that wraps around a part of the absorbent member (220).

[0091] Here, a rib hole (243) may be formed in the center of the rib cover (242) so that a portion of the absorbent member (220) can be exposed.

[0092] And the rib cover (242) is formed to be a certain size smaller than the lower body (244) so ​​that the rib cover (242) can be easily removed from the lower body (244).

[0093] The reason for this is that when a defecation area (50) is formed in the absorbent member (220), the rib cover (242) is removed from the lower body (244) to replace the absorbent member (220).

[0094] The present invention has been described in detail above, and additionally, the first member (120) may be provided with a mark to guide the position where the laminated portion (200) is to be installed.

[0095] Here, the above indication may be in the form of a border drawn in a different color from the surroundings, or may be in the form of stitching.

[0096] Although specific embodiments of the eco-friendly pee pad for pets according to the present invention have been described so far, it is obvious that various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.

[0097] Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the claims described below but also by equivalents of the claims.

[0098] That is, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims to be described later rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modified forms derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalent concepts should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
