Device for detecting, containing, and indicating the presence of fluidic animal waste product at a defined location

An animal waste product notification device for detecting the occurrence of an animal excreting fluidic waste product at a defined location, for containing the fluidic waste product, and for notifying a user of said animal waste product notification device of the occurrence, said animal waste product notification device comprising:

• a grate providing a platform for the animal when excreting the fluidic waste product, said grate defining at least one aperture, whereby the fluidic waste product passes through the at least one aperture defined by said grate, said grate detects the fluidic waste product passing through the at least one aperture defined by said grate;
• a bin disposed relative to said grate such that the fluidic waste product that passes through the at least one aperture defined by said grate is received and retained by said bin;
• and
• a notification device in communication with said grate, said notification device delivers a notification to the user when said grate detects the fluidic waste product pass through the at least one aperture defined by said grate.

An animal waste product notification device for detecting the occurrence of an animal excreting fluidic waste product at a defined location, for containing the fluidic waste product, and for notifying a user of said animal waste product notification device of the occurrence, said animal waste product notification device comprising:

• a grate defining a surface, the surface defining a platform that structurally supports the animal, the fluidic waste product excreted at said grate passes through the surface defined by said grate;
• a detector disposed proximate to said grate, said detector detects the fluidic waste product passing through the surface defined by said grate, said detector generates a detection signal when said detector detects the fluidic waste product passing through the surface defined by said grate;
• a bin including a receptacle that retains the fluidic waste product, said bin disposed relative to said grate such that the receptacle of said bin receives and retains the fluidic waste product that passes through the surface defined by said grate;
• a transmitter in electrical communication with said detector, said transmitter generating a notification signal when said detector generates the detection signal;
• and
• a receiver in wireless communication with said transmitter, said receiver delivers a notification to the user when said transmitter generates the notification signal.
