Abstract

An excrement treatment material includes a plurality of granules, and a packaging bag. The granules are granules for treating excrement. The plurality of granules are accommodated in the packaging bag. A partition member is provided in the packaging bag. The partition member partitions the interior of the packaging bag into a first space and a second space, and has a hole that does not allow the granules to pass through. The plurality of granules are accommodated, among the first space and the second space, only in the first space.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An excrement treatment material, comprising:
a plurality of granules for treating excrement; and
a packaging bag where the plurality of granules are accommodated,
wherein the packaging bag comprises a partition member that
partitions an interior of the packaging bag into a first space and a second space, and
has a hole that does not allow the granules to pass through,

the plurality of granules are accommodated, among the first space and the second space, only in the first space,
the first space is surrounded by a first part of the packaging bag and the partition member, the first part being above the partition member,
the second space is surrounded by a second part of the packaging bag and the partition member, the second part being below the partition member,
an upper end of the partition member is spaced apart from an upper end of the packaging bag,
the partition member comprises a body portion constituting a boundary between the first space and the second space, and a fixed portion that is for fixing the partition member to an inner face of the packaging bag,
the body portion has a bag-like shape comprising a bottom face and a side face, the bottom face being farther from the upper end of the packaging bag than the side face in a vertical direction of the packaging bag, and the side face not being adhered to the inner face of the packaging bag,
the partition member comprises a plurality of the holes, and
the plurality of the holes are in the bottom face but not the side face.

2. The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 ,
wherein a volume of the second space is smaller than a volume of the first space.

3. The excrement treatment material according to claim 2 ,
wherein the volume of the second space is 20% or less of the volume of the first space.

4. The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the packaging bag comprises an opening mouth for opening the packaging bag,
the packaging bag is configured such that by opening the packaging bag from the opening mouth, among the first space and the second space, only the first space is opened, and
the upper end of the partition member is located farther from the upper end of the packaging bag than the opening mouth regarding the vertical direction of the packaging bag.

5. The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 ,
wherein a diameter of the body portion decreases monotonously from a mouth of the body portion toward the bottom face.

6. The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 ,
wherein a mouth of the body portion extends in a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction of the packaging bag.

7. The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fixed portion is standing perpendicularly from a periphery of the body portion, and is adhered to the inner face of the packaging bag.

8. The excrement treatment material according to claim 7 ,
wherein an entirety of the fixed portion is adhered to the inner face of the packaging bag.

9. The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the packaging bag has a first sheet constituting a front face of the packaging bag, a second sheet constituting a back face of the packaging bag, and a third sheet constituting the partition member.

10. The excrement treatment material according to claim 1 ,
wherein the granules each have a granular core portion, and a coating portion that covers the core portion.

11. The excrement treatment material according to claim 10 ,
wherein the core portion and the coating portion both have an organic substance as a main material.
