A pet privy which separates coagulated granular absorbent litter material and feces from uncoagulated granular absorbent litter material, composed generally of a litter box component pivotally connected with respect to a support frame. The litter box component, in turn, is composed generally of a tray for holding granular absorbent litter material, a hood member connected with the tray having a pet access port at a frontwall thereof and a discharge chute at a rearwall thereof, a retention chamber adjacent the rearwall of the hood member, a filter grid overlying the retention chamber, a discharge funnel overlying the retention chamber and adjacent the filter grid, and a disposal bag removably connected with the discharge chute. In operation, when the granular absorbent litter material requires servicing, the user simply pivots the litter box component on the support frame, thereby causing the granular absorbent litter material to slide toward the rearwall. Only uncoagulated granular absorbent litter material passes through the filter grid into retention chamber, while coagulated granular absorbent litter material and feces slide along elongate members of the filter grid into the discharge funnel, out the discharge chute and finally into the disposal bag. Reversal of the pivot movement just described causes the uncoagulated granular absorbent litter material within the retention chamber to pass again through the filter grid and into the tray, whereupon the pet litter facility is again ready for service as a pet privy.

A pet privy utilizing a granular absorbent litter material for accepting pet excrement, the granular absorbent litter material being uncoagulated when dry, the coagulated granular absorbent litter material coagulating when wet, the coagulated granular absorbent material and pet feces of the pet excrement constituting waste, said pet privy comprising: a support frame; and a litter box component pivotally connected with said support frame component, said litter box component being pivotable from an operational orientation which provides for usage thereof by one or more pets to a disposal orientation which provides for removing the waste therefrom, said litter box component comprising: a hood having a rearwall, said hood being pivotally connected at said rearwall to said support frame, said hood comprising at least a rearwall component located at said rear wall, said rearwall component comprising said rearwall and a plurality of sidwalls; a tray connected with said hood, said tray being structured for retaining a quantity of the granular absorbent litter material, said tray having a rear end and a front end; filter grid means connected with said rear end of said tray for filtering the granular absorbent litter material when said litter box component is pivoted from said operational orientation to said disposal orientation such that the uncoagulated granular absorbent litter material is passable therethrough but the waste is not passable therethrough; a discharge chute connected with and extending through said rearwall of said hood, said discharge chute having a discharge port; a disposal bag releasably connected with said discharge port of said discharge chute; and funnel means connected with said hood adjacent said filter grid means and connected with said discharge chute for directing the coagulated granular absorbent material and feces into said discharge chute so as to be finally deposited as waste into said disposal bag; wherein, pivoting of said litter box component from said operational orientation to said disposal orientation results in the granular absorbent litter material sliding toward said rear end of said tray, the uncoagulated granular absorbent litter material passing through said filter grid means and accumulating in a retention chamber defined generally by said rearwall and said plurality of sidewalls of said hood, said funnel means, said filter grid means and said rear end of said tray, the waste sliding over said filter grid means, sliding along said funnel means into said discharge chute, exiting said discharge port and depositing into said disposal bag; wherein further pivoting of said litter box component from said disposal orientation back to said operational orientation results in the uncoagulated granular absorbent litter material exiting said retention chamber by passing back through said filter grid means into said tray.
