Waste pad

摘要

A pet waste collection apparatus having a drawstring within an outer peripheral border of the pet waste collection apparatus, the drawstring having a drawstring exit portion exiting the pet waste collection apparatus, the drawstring exit portion of the drawstring releasably fastened to a bottom corner portion of the pet waste collection apparatus, the pet waste collection apparatus adapted to form a shape of a bag when the drawstring exit portion of the drawstring is released from the bottom corner portion of the pet waste collection apparatus and the drawstring is pulled taut, the pet waste collection apparatus substantially enclosing and sealing pet waste within the pet waste collection apparatus when the drawstring is pulled taut. Alternative embodiments include a bifurcated exit sleeve, an alternate exit sleeve, and a tab, each adapted to adhesively and releasably fasten the drawstring exit portion to the bottom corner, and a leak protection barrier.

主权项

1. A pet waste collection apparatus, comprising:
an absorbent pad,
said absorbent pad comprising opposing outermost layers and a plurality of innermost layers of non-woven waste absorbing material sandwiched between said opposing outermost layers,
said non-woven waste absorbing material completely enclosed and completely filling a volume between said opposing outermost layers,said opposing outermost layers comprising a first outermost layer of permeable material and a second outermost layer of substantially leak proof material,said opposing outermost layers bordered by an outer peripheral border,said absorbent pad having a first height and said outer peripheral border having a second height, which is less than said first height of said absorbent pad,said absorbent pad adapted to receive pet waste at said first outermost layer and prevent any said pet waste received at said first outermost layer from leaching through said absorbent pad to said second outermost layer; said pet waste collection apparatus further comprising an interior passageway between said opposing outermost layers within said outer peripheral border; said pet waste collection apparatus having a drawstring exit connected to said interior passageway,
said drawstring exit adjacent said outer peripheral border of said opposing outermost layers; said pet waste collection apparatus further comprising a diagonally folding fold-over tab integrally connected to said first outermost layer adjacent said drawstring exit; said pet waste collection apparatus further comprising a drawstring within said interior passageway,
said drawstring exiting said pet waste collection apparatus through said drawstring exit;said first outermost layer comprising a first outermost layer portion,said second outermost layer comprising a second outermost layer portion;said diagonally folding fold-over tab adhesively and releasably fastened to said second outermost layer portion of said second outermost layer,
said second outermost layer comprising a lower periphery,said diagonally folding fold-over tab releasably and adhesively sandwiching said drawstring exit portion of said drawstring between said diagonally folding fold-over tab and said second outermost layer portion of said second outermost layer at said lower periphery of said second outermost layer;said pet waste collection apparatus adapted to form a shape of a bag when said diagonally folding fold-over tab is released from said second outermost layer and said drawstring is pulled taut,
said pet waste collection apparatus substantially enclosing and substantially sealing said pet waste within said pet waste collection apparatus when said drawstring is pulled taut.
