Automated, Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box Apparatus

Summary:
A reliable design for an automatic Litter box.

Full Description:
As decribed in Patent: A self-cleaning cat litter box apparatus comprises a litter tray for containing a quantity of cat litter, a waste bin, and a mesh basket sized for having lower regions received into the litter. A supporting frame and the basket form a basket assembly that is hinged relative to the litter tray for pivotal movement between a lowered position in which the lower regions of the basket are immersed in cat litter contained in the litter tray and an upright position in which cat waste-containing clumped litter picked up from the tray by the basket is gravity dumped into the waste bin. A basket motor is connected for causing the pivoting of the basket assembly between the lowered and upright positions and for simultaneously opening and closing a waste bin door. Operation of the basket motor is responsive to a cat entering and subsequently leaving the litter tray. Another motor is connected for oscillating the basket assembly relative to the litter tray when pivoting of the basket assembly from its lowered position is started and again as the basket assembly is pivoting back close to its lowered position to facilitate the lifting of the basket from and immersing the basket into, cat litter in the litter tray.
