| 20150059653 | Apparatus and Method for Pet Waste Containment and Disposal - Herein described is a portable sanitation apparatus for pet waste disposal and method for using the same comprising a micro-composite structure and a means for securing micro-composite structures together to form a macro-composite structure in variable geometric Configurations and sizes for greater area coverage. | 03-05-2015 |
| 20150136034 | Reusable Protective Outer Sleeve for Fully Disposable Pet Toilet Units Incorporating Living Grass - The present invention relates to a reusable outer sleeve that is made of durable material for the purpose of protecting the sidewalls and corners of a fully-disposable pet toilet unit that incorporates living grass as an absorbent material for the bodily waste of pets. The sleeve eliminates or minimizes damage that can be caused by pets who engage in biting, chewing, gnawing, clawing, pecking, ripping and/or tearing of the apparatus. When the cover of a disposable pet toilet unit is removed by the user following the unit's delivery, the bottom of said unit is placed within the sleeve before the pet uses the toilet for the first time. The bottom of the unit is removed from the sleeve when it is time to discard the disposable pet toilet. The sleeve is retained for future use with other disposable pet toilet units that fit within the sleeve. | 05-21-2015 |
| 20150136035 | FOLDED ANIMAL EXCRETION DISPOSAL SHEET - A folded animal excretion disposal sheet formed by folding an animal excretion disposal sheet having a rectangular shape with a first pair of lateral edges and a second pair of lateral edges, the animal excretion disposal sheet includes an outer peripheral joining portion in which a top sheet and back sheet are joined, and a central absorbent body portion in which an absorbent body is disposed between the top and back sheet; a fragrance ingredient is applied to the top sheet and/or absorbent body; the folded animal excretion disposal sheet is folded along a folding line parallel to the first pair of lateral edges, such that the top sheet is not exposed to an outer surface; and a plurality of the outer peripheral joining portions, composing the second pair of lateral edges after folding, are temporarily joined to each other to thereby form a pair of temporary joining portions. | 05-21-2015 |
| 20150296741 | PET URINE COLLECTION DEVICE - A pet urine collection device, configured so that, when a dog discharges urine against a wall surface, a first panel laid on a floor surface is not soiled with urine over a wide range in a front-back direction. The pet urine collection device includes a first panel adapted to be laid on a floor surface and a flexible second panel joined with the first panel along a join line and adapted to be attached to a wall surface. The second panel has a high stiffness region extending in parallel to the join line and having a proximal edge and a low stiffness region extending in parallel to the high stiffness region and having a distal edge. | 10-22-2015 |
| 20150320009 | ABSORBENT SHEET FOR PETS - An absorbent sheet for pets that is highly effective in concealing pet excrement. The absorbent sheet includes: a liquid-permeable front-surface sheet; a liquid-impermeable back-surface sheet; an absorbent body that is provided between the front-surface sheet and the back-surface sheet, and that absorbs liquid that has permeated through the front-surface sheet; an intermediate sheet that is arranged between the front-surface sheet and the absorbent body; and a color arrangement region that forms a color arrangement pattern together with at least one of the front-surface sheet, the back-surface sheet, and the absorbent body. The front-surface sheet is formed so as to have a lower total light transmittance than the intermediate sheet. | 11-12-2015 |
| 20160374307 | AGRICULTURAL MAT AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to an interlocking slat cover system.
