Abstract
The Compact Expandable Countertop Pet Grooming and Washing Station (the Station) is a combination grooming platform and washing platform that is contained within a folding box and designed to be used on a typical household bathroom countertop, on top of a bathroom wash-basin, or any other flat surface near a water source and drain. The Station is contained within a rectangular box whose sides, from the closed position, open in a sequence to expose a surface for a pet to stand upon to be groomed, and further opened, creating splash panels while exposing a porous platform. The porous washing platform sits atop a sloped-floor surface that funnels water to a water spout/outlet at the back of the station. A removable drawer serves as hair capture compartment for use with the grooming platform, and as a storage compartment for the Station accessories.
