[Embodiment 1]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the dog toilet urine assisting tool 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is housed in a tubular case body 3 having a plurality of openings 11 and inside the case body 3. A fixing means for detachably fixing the sheet material 5 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) as a water-absorbing material that absorbs urine and the case body 3 to the toilet floor of the dog toilet 7 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). It has 9 and.
Hereinafter, each component will be described in detail.

<Case body>
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the case body 3 has a tubular shape having a plurality of openings 11 set to a size that does not allow the dog's paws to be inserted. The shape and arrangement of the openings 11 are not limited, but for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the elongated openings 11 extending in the oblique direction may be arranged in the vertical direction. The opening 11 may have a size that does not allow the dog's paws to enter. For example, the narrower of the horizontal or vertical opening widths may be 15 mm or less.

Further, it is preferable that the upper and lower peripheral edges of the opening 11 are inclined (see FIG. 1). When the peripheral edge is inclined, urine flows without accumulating on the peripheral edge and is easily absorbed by the sheet material 5.

It is preferable that a wall portion 13 having no opening 11 is provided on the upper peripheral surface and the upper end surface of the case body 3. By providing wall portions 13 on the upper peripheral surface and the upper end surface of the case body 3 so that the upper end portion of the sheet material 5 housed inside is arranged at the position of the wall portion 13, the upper end portion of the sheet material 5 can be formed. Does not get dirty with urine. Therefore, when the sheet material 5 is replaced, it can be replaced by holding a clean portion, and it is possible to prevent the hands from getting dirty.

The case body 3 may be tubular in the used state, and the case body 3 of the present embodiment is divided into a bottom member 15 and a bottom member 15 in the axial direction at the lower end as shown in FIG. It is composed of a half-split member 17 rotatably attached to the. At the upper end of each half member 17, a locking portion 19 for engaging and disengaging with the other party and an operating portion 20 for performing the engaging and disengaging operation are provided.
By closing the half-split member 17 and locking the locking portion 19 to the upper end surface of the other party, the tubular case body 3 is formed. When the locking portion 19 is removed by twisting the operating portion 20, the half-split member 17 as shown in FIG. 2 is opened by rotating due to its own weight.

<Sheet material>
The sheet material 5 as a water-absorbing material is not particularly limited as long as it can absorb urine, but a sheet material having water absorption and odor absorption like a pet sheet used for a pet toilet is preferable.
As shown in FIG. 4, the sheet material 5 is stored in the case body 3 in a tubular shape in the used state. Then, as described above, it is preferable that the size is set so that the upper end portion thereof is arranged on the upper wall portion 13 of the case body 3 in the stored state.
In the used state, the sheet material 5 is housed in a state of being visible from the outside through the opening 11 as shown in FIG.

<Fixing means>
The fixing means 9 is provided at the lower part of the case main body 3 and is for fixing the case main body 3 to the floor of the dog toilet 7 so as to be detachable.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is composed of a circular plate-shaped body 23 in which a rod-shaped body 21 is erected in the center, and a bottom member 15 of the case body 3. A male screw portion is formed on the rod-shaped body 21, and a female screw portion is formed on the bottom member 15.

When fixing the case body 3 to the toilet floor, as shown in FIG. 3, a plate-shaped body 23 is arranged under the mesh-shaped cover 25 and the rod-shaped body 21 is inserted through the mesh opening. To. The case body 3 is placed upright on the upper surface of the cover 25, and the male screw of the rod-shaped body 21 is screwed into the female screw of the bottom member 15, so that the cover 25 is sandwiched between the plate-shaped body 23 and the bottom member 15. As a result, the case body 3 is erected as shown in FIG.

According to the dog toilet urine assisting tool 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, it is attached to the dog toilet floor, and as shown in FIG. 4, the case body 3 is opened and formed into a tubular shape. The rolled sheet material 5 is placed on the sheet material 5. In this state, the case body 3 is closed, stopped by the locking portion 19, and used in the state shown in FIG. In the used state, as shown in FIG. 3, the sheet material 5 inside can be seen from the opening 11, but since the opening 11 is set to a size that does not allow the dog's paws to enter, Even if the dog tries to mischief, the sheet material 5 will not be damaged.

When a male dog pisses toward the dog toilet urine aid 1, the urine enters the case body 3 through the opening 11 and is absorbed by the sheet material 5. Since the peripheral edge of the opening 11 is slanted, urine does not collect at the peripheral edge. Further, since the wall portion 13 is formed at the upper end portion of the case body 3, the upper end portion of the sheet material 5 housed inside is not contaminated with urine.

When replacing the sheet material 5 after use, when the locking portion 19 of the case body 3 is removed, the case body 3 is opened as shown in FIG. Then, the clean upper end of the sheet material 5 is taken out by picking it, and a new one is accommodated. After that, the state shown in FIG. 3 may be obtained in the same manner as described above.

As described above, according to the dog toilet urine assisting tool 1 of the present embodiment, the effect that the sheet material 5 is not damaged by the mischief of the dog and the sheet material 5 can be easily replaced is obtained. ..

In the above description, both of the half-split members 17 rotate to open both of them as shown in FIG. 4, but for example, only one of the half-split members 17 rotates to open. It may be something like that.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a holding member 27 formed in a bifurcated plate shape and for holding the sheet material 5 may be erected inside the case body 3. By providing the holding member 27, the tubular sheet material 5 can be attached by inserting it, and the sheet material 5 can be easily attached and the shape of the tubular sheet material 5 can be maintained.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, by rotatably attaching the half-split member 17 to the lower portion of the holding member 27, the stability is higher than that in the case where the half-split member 17 is attached to the bottom plate portion as shown in FIG. Is improved.

The case body 3 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a square cylindrical body as shown in FIG. 7, for example. Further, the shape of the holding member 27 standing inside the case body 3 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 6, and as shown in FIG. 8, the axially orthogonal cross section may be H-shaped.
