Litter saver device

For the collection and disposal of animal waste material, a litter saver device adapted for removable placement in a litter box and having a litter floor and an upper rim, comprising:

• a generally box-like insert for placement within the litter box, the box-like insert having an open top and a peripheral bottom edge formed by a plurality of angled walls;
• a plurality of laterally-extending, corner support tabs with each tab attached to the box-like insert adjacent the open top for resting upon the upper rim of the litter box and supporting the box-like insert disposed therein;
• means for holding granular material within the box-like insert and upon which waste material is deposited;
• the holding means including a diamond-shaped upper screen integrally attached to the box-like insert adjacent the bottom edge, the upper screen for receiving granular material spread thereupon so that deposited waste material can be collected by the granular material;
• a pair of spaced-apart longitudinal grooves with each groove located adjacent and below one of the plurality of angled walls;
• and
• a lower mesh screen adapted for removable insertion into the longitudinal grooves so that the lower mesh screen when disposed in its operative position is subjacent and in alignment with the upper screen.

For the collection and disposal of animal waste material, a litter saver device adapted for removable placement in a litter box having a litter floor and an upper rim, the litter saver device comprising:

• a generally box-like insert adapted for removable placement within the litter box, the box-like insert including four slightly angled walls, a peripheral bottom edge, an open top, and an open bottom;
• means for holding granular material within the box-like insert and upon which waste material is deposited;
• the holding means being adapted for removable placement within the box-like insert so that waste material can be collected and disposed therefrom and granular material can be replaced thereon;
• at least two pairs of inwardly-extending bottom support tabs, with one pair of support tabs attached to the bottom peripheral edge of the oppositely-disposed angled wall for supporting the holding means;
• the angled walls further defining a continuous upper edge which is adjacent and flush with the upper rim of the litter box when the box-like insert is placed within the litter box;
• at least one pair of oppositely-disposed angled walls, each having at least one pair of spaced-apart through-holes adjacent the upper edge of each respective wall, the pair of through-holes of one angled wall aligned with the pair of through-holes on the oppositely-disposed angled wall;
• and
• at least one pair of support bars with each support bar adapted for removable insertion into one hole on one angled wall and through the respectively aligned through-hole of the oppositely-disposed wall so that the ends of each support bar rest on the upper rim of the litter box for providing clearance between the angled walls and the litter box.
