ABSTRACT:
An animal litter and storage box device is presented which allows an operator to clean all solid animal waste from litter material with a simple two step motion. The operator has no contact with the animal waste and there are no substantial moving parts or complex motion patterns that are required to operate the device. The device includes a bottom tray, a cover member having a waste chute which fits over the bottom tray, and a slide rail separator contained within the device that is capable of separating animal waste from litter material. The animal waste and litter material mixture is moved through the slide rail separator by lifting one end of the device. The solid animal waste is separated by the slide rail separator and rolls into a waste storage bag attached to the waste chute. The reusable litter which passes through the slide rail separator is contained within the device. The device is lifted again to redistribute the cleaned litter. When the waste storage bag receives solid animal waste, the top of the waste storage bag closes thereby trapping the animal waste, and odors associated with the waste, in the bag.
