Pet litter box

A litter container comprising:

• a base;
• container walls hingedly coupled to the base to form a container having an opening to an inner cavity of the container;
• a cover hingedly coupled to a container wall and movable to a folded position generally parallel to the base to close the opening to the inner cavity of the container;
• tab members having generally perpendicularly-arranged sides formed integrally with and foldably coupled to sides of adjacent container walls, said tab members including a central hinge to form opposed tab portions, the tab members being folded along the central hinge to secure adjacent container walls in the upright position to form a continuous structure between adjacent side walls.

A unitary sheet adapted for constructing a litter container comprising:

• a base portion having a plurality of sides;
• a plurality of first wall portions foldably coupled to and extending from the sides of the base portion along foldable extents, the wall portions being foldable along foldable extents for moving the first wall portions to an upright position relative to the base portion for assembly;
• a plurality of second wall portions foldably coupled to and extending from extended sides of the first wall portions along foldable extents;
• a cover hingedly coupled to and extending from an extended side of one of said first wall portions along a foldable extent between the first wall portion and cover for foldably connecting the cover and the first wall portion;
• connection members coupled to adjacent first wall portions for detachably connecting adjacent first wall portions in the upright assembled position and a collapsed position;
• and
• connection members coupled to adjacent second wall portions for detachably connecting adjacent second wall portions in an upright position and a folded closed position.

A method for assembly of a litter container comprising the steps of:

• providing a litter container having container walls selectively foldable between a collapsed position where the container walls are generally parallel to a base of the litter container and an upright position for defining an inner cavity of the container;
• raising the container walls to the upright position generally perpendicular to the base to assemble the litter container for use;
• providing barriers extending from and hingedly coupled to adjacent container walls having detachable connection members for detachably connecting barriers between an upright position and a folded position;
• and
• detachably connecting the barriers in the upright position.
