Elle diffère de la demande de brevet française
FR 2.565.777 et du fascicule de brevet CH 668.529.A5.It differs from the French patent application
FR 2,565,777 and patent specification CH 668.529.A5.

Une poignée 7 extractable (figure 1) est fixée sur un des côtés de la boîte 1 fermée, elle permet le transport à la verticale de la boîte 1 conditionnée. En effet, par ce moyen, il est plus pratique de transporter ladite boîte, étant donné ses dimensions respectables. A removable handle 7 (Figure 1) is attached to one side of the closed box 1, it allows vertical transport of the box 1 conditioned. Indeed, by this means, it is more practical to transport said box, given its respectable dimensions.

Une fenêtre 5 en matière plastique transparente fixée sur le flanc couvercle 2a-2b-2c laisse à l'acquéreur la possibilité de voir la litière 8 conditionnée. A window 5 in transparent plastic material fixed on the cover side 2a-2b-2c leaves the purchaser with the possibility of seeing the litter 8 packaged.

La boîte 1 est conçue avec un carton Microcannelure du type Fluting, glacé à l'extérieur, imperméabilisé à l'intérieur, fermé par collage. Box 1 is designed with a Fluting type micro-cardboard, glazed on the outside, waterproofed on the inside, closed by gluing.

Le couvercle 2a se détache sur trois côtés en tirant sur deux languettes renforcées 3a & 3b, une sur la gauche 3a (figure 1) et l'autre sur la droite 3b (figure 1). The cover 2a is detached on three sides by pulling on two reinforced tabs 3a & 3b, one on the left 3a (figure 1) and the other on the right 3b (figure 1).

L'extrémité avant du couvercle 2a, c'est-à-dire le troisième côté se détache aisément grâce à une prédécoupe 4 existante.The front end of the cover 2a, that is to say the third side is easily detached thanks to an existing pre-cut 4.

Une fois ces opérations effectuées, on peut rabattre le couvercle 2b & 2c sous la boîte 1 (figures 2 & 3), cette opération étant facilitée par trois amorces de pliage 6 (figure 1).Once these operations have been carried out, the cover 2b & 2c can be folded down under the box 1 (FIGS. 2 & 3), this operation being facilitated by three folding primers 6 (FIG. 1).

Une fois le couvercle 2a-2b-2c détaché et rabattu, la boîte 1 garde sur son ouverture un rebord 9 sur tout son pourtour (figure 3), suffisamment large pour empêcher la litière 8 conditionnée (figure 3) de s'extraire lorsque l'animal gratte à l'intérieur de ladite boîte 1. Once the cover 2a-2b-2c detached and folded down, the box 1 keeps on its opening a rim 9 around its entire periphery (FIG. 3), wide enough to prevent the conditioned litter 8 (FIG. 3) from being extracted when the animal scratches inside said box 1.

La boîte 1 est réalisée en un carton jetable et biodégradable et la litière est végétale et biodégradable. Box 1 is made of disposable and biodegradable cardboard and the litter is vegetable and biodegradable.
