Abstract
A pet waste management system provides a hygienic and convenient solution for pet owners. The pet waste management system includes a main housing portion and a non-porous pad having a surface for directly receiving pet excrement including feces and urine. The system includes a sweeper including a scraping surface and a movable sweeper arm. The movable sweeper arm is configured to move the sweeper across the surface of the non-porous pad such that the scraping surface directly pushes both feces and urine off of the non-porous pad and into a litter box portion.
Claims20
A pet waste management system comprising:
- a main housing portion;
- a non-porous pad arranged on the main housing portion and including a surface for directly receiving pet excrement including feces and urine;
- a sweeper including a scraping surface;
- and
- a movable sweeper arm configured to move the scraping surface of the sweeper across the surface of the non-porous pad such that the scraping surface is capable of directly pushing both feces and urine off of the non-porous pad.
A pet waste management system comprising:
- a main housing portion including a proximal end and a distal end;
- a non-porous pad arranged on the main housing portion, the non-porous pad including a series of upstanding ridges each separated by a gap, the ridges extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the main housing portion;
- a sweeper defining a plurality of combed teeth, the combed teeth defining a complimentary contour with respect to the series of upstanding ridges and gaps formed in the non-porous pad;
- and
- a movable sweeper arm configured to move the sweeper across the non-porous pad such that the series of combed teeth are capable of sweeping between the ridges of the non-porous pad thereby directly pushing both feces and urine off of the non-porous pad.
A pet waste management system comprising:
- a main housing portion;
- a non-porous pad arranged on the main housing portion and including a surface for directly receiving pet excrement including feces and urine;
- and
- a sweeper including a scraping surface;
- wherein the scraping surface of the sweeper defines a first contour and the surface of the non-porous pad defines a second contour whereby the first contour and the second contour are shaped in a substantially complimentary manner such that the scraping surface of the sweeper is capable of directly pushing both feces and urine off of the non-porous pad.
