Description:
Napkin for four-legged animals Technica) Field Present technical solution relates to napkins for four-legged animals, by using of which one can prevent environment pollution by anima) excrements so in daily life as at poor state of health, when an anima ! has the runs, as a consequence of which it not always manages to do its needs in rooms or at sites intended for the purpose.

Background Art A) present, there is no wax to prevent four-legged pet animals, especially dogs. from direct environment polluting. Extensive environment pollution occurs especially in large agglomerations with increased concentration of residentia ! houses, because dog keeping has become a fashionable trend. Taking dogs for an airing is performed on grass plots neighbouring with apartment blocks and often with houses like pre-school and school objects, and often at places where children play. In this way a possibility of infection of children directly from the excrements of these animals occurs, as direct contact of children with the excrements cannot be avoided. The additional cleaniß of the places by collecting the solid excrements into paper sachets directly by the keeper of the dog or liquidation of the excrements by vacuum cleaners is not sufficient, and in a case of an animal in bad physical health, when having the runs, it is incfficient.

Moreover, the disciphne of dog ow-ners is at vew low level and so the efficienc of this system of excrements liquidation is minimal.

Description of Technica ! Sotution The above problems are solved by a napkin for four-legged animals according to the present solution, the nature of which consists in that it consists of a shaped part whith a cavity (depression) for collecting the solid component of the excrements, and of straps for tixing it to the animal body.

'the shaped part of the napkin is adapted to the contours of the anima ! body and is made of materials able to absorb the liquid component of the excrements.

Therefore, the, ist of the so ! ution consists in forming a napkin which is shaped for the purpose of collecting the solid parts and absorbing the liquid parts of the excrements. Collecting of solid parts is performed after excreting by cottecting in the formed cavitv (depression) where it then rests. The liquid secretion is absorbed by the cell structure of the napkin construction. After doing the animal needs the napkin is simply taken away and throw'n, together with its content, into waste receptacles. ! n this way aoy pollution and possible contamination of the environment is prevented.

The napkins may be made of various absorbent materials, but in the best case from a material which is recyclable or can be degraded by microorganisms in a short time in the open ais It concerns first of all natural materials as, for example, cellulose, paper absorbent components or similar material.

In the production, various sizes will be used depending on the requirements for use. Colouring is recommended depending on the colour of t, he respective animal, but in the course of time various colourings may be accommodated to fashion trends.

The napkins according to the present solution will be appreciated by the owners of dogs, kept in households, especially in case of buying a puppy which has not yet developed habits when and where to do its needs. In that case the floor covering in (latta is often polluted. By using the napkin pollution of the floor is prevented and the habit develops within a shorter time interval.

In the case of massive use of the napkins during walking the dogs sanitation of the environment occurs in a very short time which will manifest itself to a large extent mainly in agglomerations with a great concentration of residential buildings.

Summary of figures in the drawings Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the napkin in question.

Fig. 2 shows a section view of the napkin.

Examp ! es of embodiments A napkin according to Fig. 1 consists of a part I. shaped so that the animal can do its needs without problems. Part 1 is equipped with cavity (depression) 2 for collecting the solid components of the excrement. The size of cavity 2 is adjusted to the amount of the excreted solid excrement. The profile of cavity 2 is shown in Fig. 2.

The napkin has attached the straps 3 and 4 by which the napkin can be fixed to the four-iegged animal body in such a way that the straps 4 are girt around the belle alla the strap : 3 are attached to them from the rear side after being crossed on the back of tric, After the animal has done its needs the solid component of the excrements is collectecl in cavity 2 where it rests, and the liquid component is absorbed by part).

After complete excretion of solid and liquid excrements the whole napkin including its contents is inserted into a waste receptacle.

Industrial applicability The range of possible utilizing the napkins according to the present so ! ution is wide They are a suitable means for preventing pollution of households. as tell ai public places, by dog and cat excrements, they are a suitable means for preventing pollution of wxhibition halls where dog and cat exhibitions take place. They may be utilized in zoological gardens. at horse carriages and the like.
