Abstract

A shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling hygienic indoor-outdoor slanting pet tree system comprises: adjustable legs, a rotatable pedestal, at least one shape-shifting rotatable log, at least one shape-shifting rotatable step, at least one shape-shifting rotatable branch, at least one shape-shifting rotatable hygienic platform, at least one shape-shifting rotatable condo, at least one shape-shifting rotatable hygienic cap, at least one shape-shifting rotatable connector for rotatably connecting all the components of the pet tree together, multiple rotatable wheels to allow the pet tree to be wheeled anywhere, and at least one removable water-repelling cover to cover the components of the pet tree. All the components of the pet tree can rotate 360 degrees (by water, wind, pet, and human forces applied on the inside and outside of the pet tree) to allow users to customize the tree shapes, have internal doors to allow pets to move around from one component to another inside the tree, are made of water-repelling material, and have water-draining holes to allow the tree to be hosed down and able to be used indoor and outdoor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree, capable of being shifted or rotated by an external force from water, wind, pet, or human being for indoor and outdoor use, comprising:
a pedestal made of water-repelling material, said pedestal having a plurality of corners;
a plurality of brackets made of water-repelling material, each of said brackets having an L shape;
a plurality of wheels made of water-repelling material, each of said wheels rotatably attached to one of said brackets for allowing said shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree to be wheeled indoor or outdoor;
a plurality of screws made of water-repelling material, said screws screwing said brackets on said pedestal at said corners respectively;
a plurality of condos made of water-repelling material,
said shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree having a shape,
each of said condos having at least one accessing opening
for allowing access inside said condos to shift or rotate said condos to shift said shape of said shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree and
for allowing said pet to access into and out of said condos to shift or rotate said condos to shift said shape of said pet tree and to access from one of said condos to another one of said condos to shift or rotate said condos to shift said shape of said shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree,
each of said condos having at least one draining opening
for draining said water to shift or rotate said condos to shift said shape of said shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree,
each of said condos having at least one surface
for allowing said water, said wind, said pet, and said human to push thereon to shift or rotate said condos to shift said shape of said shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree; and

a plurality of connecting nuts and connecting screws made of water-repelling material,
said connecting nuts molded to said pedestal,
said connecting screws molded to said condos respectively,
said connecting screws screwed into said connecting nuts respectively
for rotatably connecting said pedestal and said condos together such that said condos are capable of being shifted or rotated by said external force.

2. The shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree of claim 1 , wherein said water comprises rain water, said rain water has a kinetic force or a gravitational force, said external force from said water comprises said kinetic force or said gravitational force from said rain water.

3. The shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree of claim 1 , wherein said water has a kinetic force or a gravitational force, wherein said external force from said water comprises said kinetic force or said gravitational force from said water.

4. The shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree of claim 1 , wherein said wind has a kinetic force or a gravitational force, wherein said external force from said wind comprises said kinetic force or said gravitational force from said wind.

5. The shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree of claim 1 , wherein said pet has a kinetic force or a gravitational force, wherein said external force from said pet comprises said kinetic force or said gravitational force from said pet.

6. The shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree of claim 1 , wherein said human being has a hand, said hand has a kinetic force or a gravitational force, said external force from said human being comprises said kinetic force or said gravitational force from said hand.

7. The shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree of claim 1 , further comprising at least one removable cover made of plastic, metallic, wooden, composite, waterproof, or water-repelling material for covering at least one element selected from the group consisting of: said pedestal, said condos, said connecting nuts, and said connecting screws.

8. The shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree of claim 1 , further comprising a tree nut, a tree screw, a screw plate, and a ceiling screw, said tree nut for being molded to one of said condos of said pet tree, said tree screw for being screwed into said tree nut and for being welded to said screw plate, said ceiling screw for attaching said screw plate to a ceiling.

9. The shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree of claim 1 , further comprising a cap for capping said pet tree.

10. The shape-shifting self-draining water-repelling pet tree of claim 1 , further comprising at least one element capable of being shifted or rotated by said external force from said water, said wind, said pet, or said human being, said at least one element selected from the group consisting of:
at least one log with holes for draining said water, a log nut, and a log screw,
said log nut molded to one of said condos,
said log screw molded to said at least one log and screwed into said log nut to attach said at least one log to said pet tree
for said pet to climb on said at least one log,

at least one branch with holes for draining said water, a branch nut, and a branch screw,
said branch nut molded to one of said condos,
said branch screw molded to said at least one branch and screwed into said branch nut to attach said at least one branch to said pet tree
for said pet to climb on said at least one branch,

at least one step with holes for draining said water, a step nut, and a step screw,
said step nut molded to one of said condos,
said step screw molded to said at least one step and screwed into said step nut to attach said at least one step to said pet tree
for said pet to climb on said at least one step,

at least one platform with holes for draining said water, a platform nut, and a platform screw,
