  • Patent number: 5785000
    Abstract: A kitty litter assembly incorporating a waste disposal arrangement to facilitate the removal of the solid waste matter so as to permit the reuse of the litter. The assembly includes a stand on which a litter container is hingedly connected, and which container has an opening in one end thereof and an associated closure. A screen drawer is slidably mounted on the stand immediately below the litter container and above a collector which is stowed within the stand. Cleaning of the litter is effected simply by pulling out the screen drawer and tilting the litter container so that upon the opening of the associated closure, the litter, including the solid waste, are emptied onto the screen drawer whereby the waste is screened from the litter which passes through the screen and is received in the collector. The litter, free of the solid waste in the collector, is then returned to the litter container for reuse; and the waste collected by the screen drawer disposed of.
