WO2007010077B1 - Device for collecting animal excrement and waste - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for collecting animal excrement and waste. The invention comprises a metal rod or pole (1) which can be used as a device for collecting excrement deposited by a domestic animal on any surface, which prevents the waste from having to be handled directly and which can be used to remove said waste quickly, conveniently and neatly. The inventive device is actuated using a control means or button (7) at the upper end of the rod, which deploys a plastic receptacle or bag through a metal triangular element (3) which is positioned between the animal and the ground such as to prevent the excrement and waste from coming into contact with the surface. In addition, the receptacle or bag is closed such that the waste can be deposited in approved public areas or containers and eliminated from the environment. The bag can also be easily replaced.

Claims

MODIFIED CLAIMS received by the International Office on 3 January 2007 (03.01.07) 1. Device for the collection of excrement and animal waste characterized by a main tube or metal rod that contains in its interior in turn another guide tube of smaller size and diameter so that the guide tube when being moved towards the The exterior of the main tube shows two metal rods that have a plastic bag attached at their ends, which is easily located between the animal and the ground and prevents the contact of the excrement and residues with the surface or without the need of making great efforts. ground to be inside the bag. 0 2. Device for the collection of excrement and animal waste according to claim 1, which is characterized by housing inside two metal rods attached to the guide tube by a spring or spring that allows its automatic opening forming an angle of 50 degrees that causes likewise the opening of the disposable plastic bag that joins it. 5 3. Device for the collection of excreta and animal waste according to claim 1, which is characterized by housing inside a main tube and attached to metal rods a bag of excrement of plastic and folded material that, once used , it is separated from the rods, the tube and the device by the displacement of an inner tube by means of a button towards the upper part of the device. 0 4. Device for the collection of excrement and animal waste according to claim 1, characterized by allowing through a slot or incision in a main tube the displacement of a guide tube housed therein of smaller size and diameter with the pressure and displacement of a button attached to this guide tube not protruding from the main tube by serving the own slot or stop incision. 5. Device for the collection of excreta and animal waste according to claim 1, characterized by allowing the automatic closing of the rods attached to a guide tube when it is moved by means of a button towards the top closing, by extension, the collecting bag and causing it to slide to the ends of the rod and therefore causing the bag to fall by the weight of its content. Device for the collection of excrement and animal waste according to claim 1, characterized by maintaining with its mere use and automatically a slope between the main cane and the collection bag so that it maintains a 7 slight inclination with respect to the ground while the cane or main tube maintains a diagonal position of about 45 degrees with respect to the ground plane thanks to the spring or spring to which the rods are attached. DECLARATION ACCORDING TO ART. 19ÍD In accordance with art. 19 of the Patent Cooperation Treaty the applicant Daniela PUCCI CEJAS has modified the claims initially filed with the application PCT / ES2006 / 070105 highlighting with this modification the novelty and inventiveness especially by the fact that the device is presented as a single tubular structure (claims 1 and 4) although inside contain a tube of smaller size and diameter, its operation is produced from a single command (claim 4) by which it unfolds and automatically folds the receiving bag that is contained in its interior (claims 2 and 5) detaching by the simple return of the device to its initial situation (claim 3). It also affects the inclined position of the rods with respect to the main tube (claim 6) once they have been deployed and come out of it and in the automatic opening of the bag due to the spring or spring that includes the rods themselves. To this end, the text of the two original claims 1 and 2 has been modified and four new claims have been added, which are the result of the division of the original claims 1 and 2. The modifications affect the description and the drawings in the sense that any reference to the so-called triangles (No. 3 of Fig. 1) should be understood as being made to the name of rods of the modified claims since the rods do present This triangular shape is not strictly a triangle. The uve and not closed form of the rods presents in this sense undoubted advantages assuming a novelty insofar as they allow to be closed automatically by effect of the spring or spring and allow the sliding and detachment of the collection bag at a distance and without the need of handle neither the collecting bag nor the rods themselves. Likewise, the modifications affect the appearance of the cane (Figure 2), which does not show the bag that houses its posterior or the guide tube of smaller size and diameter that transmits the movement, which is totally new and unknown in the state of the art.
