  • Patent number: 7185611
    Abstract: Waste containment systems for animal enclosures or animal support means, such as perches, are disclosed. A moving body of liquid in a tray traps waste and airborne contaminants and a filtration unit filters the waste. The filtered liquid is circulated with a pump. Methods for filtering waste from animal enclosures or animal support means are disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6895899
    Abstract: Filtration systems for animal enclosures such as bird cages are disclosed. A moving body of liquid through a receptacle, traps waste and airborne contaminants from the enclosures, a filtration unit filters the waste, and a pump circulates the liquid. A sterilizing unit may be connected to inhibit microbial growth. An auto shut-off valve may be used to control the pump.

  • Patent number: 6626129
    Abstract: The Aqua Clean BirdCage Companion is a hydraulic waste and airborne contaminant containment system disposed beneath a birdcage, occupying a bird. The birdcage, having a grid floor retains and separates the bird from the system, while allowing the waste and airborne contaminants from the caged bird to gravitate to the system's constant medium being a hydraulic body of water contained in a tray beneath the birdcage. Our constant medium traps, contains and moves waste and airborne contaminants within it's water to a plurality of filters. The waste filled water passes through the filters. The filters remove the waste materials. The now filtered water is returned by electric pump and discharged into the tray's constant medium creating the hydraulic body, which traps and contains new waste for removal. The filters continually renew the water in this closed hydraulic waste and airborne contaminant containment system.
