Disposable kitty litter box

摘要

A kitty litter box is made of cardboard, plastic or other disposable material and can be folded outwardly to an open position for use as a tray to hold kitty litter or other absorbent material for use by cats, and folded inwardly to a closed box after being used and ready for disposal at which time both the box and its contents are discarded. The two opposite side walls of the box each include a diagonal slit at about the midsection of each side wall with a plurality of score lines or fold lines positioned in relation to each diagonal slit which enable a portion of the midsection of each side wall to flex and fold inwardly when the two outer portions are folded along a pair of spaced apart lateral score lines or fold lines in the bottom wall. The two outer portions are folded or pivoted in an arcuate path toward each other whereby one of the outer portions of the box is received within the opposite outer portion. The box is thus folded or pivoted from its open position to a closed position. When in the closed position the end walls of each outer portion are adjacent each other in "one outside of the other" relationship. A handle on the outer portion which is inside can be extended through a slot in the end wall of the portion which is on the outside thereby locking the folded box in the closed position with its contents securely held inside.
