LITTER BOX ASSEMBLY HAVING A LITTER FRAGMENTATING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A01K23/00 A01K1/01 A01K1/35 

FIELD: pets.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to litter box assemblies useful for managing animal waste. Litter box assembly for animals includes a litter box, a litter fragmentating device attached to box. Litter fragmenting device includes loading tray for feeding assembly into fragmenting device, hopper for assembly storage attached to fragmenting device and fragmented assembly fed to box via fragmentating device. Fragmented filler consists of extruded granules having an outer surface and an inner part which contains extended cellular structure including 10 to 90 % of one or more clays or from 90 to 10 % of one or more starches; film on outer surface portion; and region of fragmented surface which is substantially free of film and discloses an expanded cellular structure. Method for making litter box assembly for animals provides insertion of unfragmented extruded assembly into fragmenting device; its fragmentation and fragmented assembly supply to assembly box via fragmentating device. A method for managing animal waste comprises animal waste contact with fragmented litter box assembly for animals.

EFFECT: litter box assembly with improved absorbent characteristics for animals is provided.
