  • Patent number: 5890452
    Abstract: A flexible, reusable quick sifter for use with a litter box which employs litter of the clumping type. The sifter has an expandable or stretchable netting secured to a hydrophobic surface across an opening such as a slit in a central area of the box. On lifting, clumping litter disposed in the central area spreads the netting and the slit open to allow unclumped litter to sift through the netting. The clumped litter is retained in the quick sifter and netting material for convenient disposal. The quick sifter is made from a rubberized fabric for reusability.

  • Patent number: 5752466
    Abstract: A liner-sieve system for use with a litter box which employs litter of the clumping type. The system includes a cassette having a plurality of flexible liner sheets stacked over the litter box with an expandable or stretchable netting secured to a surface of each liner sheet disposed in a central area of the box. A releasable flap in the form of a slit is formed in each liner sheet beneath the netting. The liner sheets are fused together at peripheral edges which can be draped over the wall of the litter box, and the liner sheets are perforated adjacent the peripheral edges for separation of an uppermost liner sheet from the next lower liner sheet. Clumping litter disposed in the central area opens the flap to allow the unclumped litter to sift through the netting onto the next lower liner sheet. The clumped litter and feces is retained in the liner and netting material for convenient disposal.

The system includes a cassette having a plurality of flexible liner sheets stacked over the litter box with a netting secured to an upper surface of each liner sheet disposed in a central area of the box. A releasable flap is formed in each liner sheet beneath the netting.

Clumping litter disposed in the central area opens the flap to allow the unclumped litter to sift through the netting onto the next lower liner sheet. The clumped litter and feces is retained in the liner and netting material for convenient disposal. The flap generally inhibits litter from passing through the netting until the uppermost liner sheet is lifted from the next lower liner sheet.
