DE102004041005A1 - Excrement collecting device for animals is fixed to the tail of the animal and is made from one part so that it can be fixed behind or below the anus - Google Patents

Abstract

Excrement collecting device is fixed to the tail of the animal. Preferred Features: The device is rigid and made from one part so that it can be fixed behind or below the anus. The device is fixed to the tail using a plastic band (P). A plastic bag can be securely fixed and an additional element is fixed to the lower side of the excrement collecting device.

Description

The Pollution of public and private places through dog excrement poses a big one Problem.

It Various devices are known with which the once sold Faeces can be removed. This succeeds differently depending on the situation good, e.g. it is difficult to completely remove dog excrement from a meadow, knowing that the transmission of abortionists became known by dog excrement on cows.

Therefore would it be ideally not to let the dog droppings arrive on the ground.

For this purpose, a device V was developed, which by means of eg a Velcro K or other bands or by brackets K (possibly padded) around the rod 8th or sticking, etc., on the tail, staples are attached to the hair, and the droppings collected through a fold-out Kotauffangbeutel AK. 1 ,

The retrofit device with attachment to the rod consists of a preferably cylindrical body, which consists of a solid material, such as metal, plastic, wood, glass fiber products, etc. It is eg by means of a rough non-slipping Velcro tape which is passed through the slots S1 and S2, attached to the rod. Very good would also be exact and convenient tail clamps K, 8th , eg with strong upholstery but rel. strong pressure, adapted to the respective diameter.

The retrofit device with attachment to the rod consists at its front part of a sensor S, which receives the command to unfold the Kotauffangbeutels and forwards. 2 + 3 The sensor is optionally powered by a battery B. In the rear part of the Kotauffangvorrichtung with attachment to the rod is a cavity H, which is opened by means of two upwardly hinged wings F in this cavity is then attached to two rods St foldable Kotauffangbehälter AK.

The two rods are pressed together in an articulated connection G, 2 so that when they are triggered, they move downwards and spread at the same time, so the Ak covers the area under the anus. 1

The rod can made of any solid material, e.g. Wood, plastic, metal etc.

The Movements of the rods can through a small drive (e.g., hydraulic) or e.g. by means of springs, Clamps, spring tensioners, etc. accomplished become.

There a dog at the feces paragraph squats slightly and the tail after At the moment, it is simply the bag of dung in this moment correct position.

you can then install the following. The heaviness of the feces would make the two chopsticks e.g. a catch pulled out of her normal fixation. By this undressing in the next Latching would the fixation mechanism of the rods then changed to that after quitting the fecal paragraph, when the dog returns the tail moved down, the AK dissolves from its fixation and falls to the ground.

After that The cavity may collapse by folding the two wings together again shut down.

Of the Owner can the fallen down AK by touching the free ends of the rods comfortable touch, and possibly the Ak-opening roll. The owner can now by plugging a new Ak, preferably the same with new chopsticks equipped with the Kotauffangvorrichtung with attachment to the Reload the rod again, and then the two wings by squeezing again shut down.

By What measures should now Kotauffangvorrichtung with attachment be activated on the rod.

Possible would be a radio contact, namely then, if the owner watches his dog and he uses a transmitter the whole thing triggers.

Often But an observation or fast trading is not possible. It would be possible too a mechanical release, by e.g. at the location of the sensor S a telescopic antenna in and out always according to the position of the rod. Will the tail down held, so is the telescope in the Kotauffangvorrichtung with attachment retracted on the rod. If the tail goes up, it will kick from the retrieval device with attachment to the rod, in extreme cases, e.g. When the feces paragraph is completely extended and her front end is just in front of the anus outlet, kick now a lateral pressure on the telescope, e.g. by escaping Kot, it comes to the trigger.

The Tip of the "telescope" would then after every operation for the purpose of hygiene again and again plugged.

Basically, to say that the mechanisms are usually chosen so that the sensor only then activated when the tail is held up.

Also possible would be a kind of distance measurement between 2 points to the right and left of the anus. These would have to be attached by means of, for example, sticking to the skin or hair, clamping on the skin or hair, implantation under the skin, etc., or by braiding it into the hair or through suction cups. At the moment of the feces paragraph, this distance would increase. This would be measurable, for example, by a stretched between two points thread, or by other methods of measurement methods that would be measured by a suitable sensor in. (optical, magnetic, etc.) Other options:
Heat measurement at the anus outlet, a sudden increase in temperature would trigger the mechanism.

Or a measurement e.g. by infrared light by means of a light barrier. If faeces come between the area to be measured, it is triggered (passage detector)

Z. B. meter is on Tail attached, measuring point adhered below the anus, stapled or otherwise attached, e.g. woven into the hair.

It could all sensors known in the industry are used. Additional: Or the food of the animal is permanently a harmless substance added as fiber, whose leakage from the sensor immediately registered becomes.

For example, Magnet, induction, smell, color, radiation, reflecting on light, only active when in contact with oxygen.

Fewer practical but also the completeness half would be conceivable the introduction a suppository in the anus, whose exit is then registered. The mudbox with attachment to the rod should be as small as possible and so ensure largely normal movement of the tail. The goal is yes ultimately, that the droppings do not fall to the ground.

Conceivable would be e.g. also that when triggered not a bag folds down, but only catered for That will be straight on the ground under the rear of the dog in time spreads a small foil.

These Foil or other masses could become in strong compressed Condition are in the cavity H and then falling down spread quickly and so catch the droppings. After that, the whole thing becomes taken and disposed of by the owner.

The box for ejecting the foil or other masses could also be moored to the leg of the dog F 4 , eg over the ankle joint and eject the foil from a slit S This would have to be transmitted by a radio contact from the sensor on the rod approach.

Or the manure catcher with attachment to the rod consists of a solid box (cardboard, plastic, which is always by folding before or under the anus.) This arrangement is particularly suitable for short-term applications., Or it is a plastic bag whose open edge by a reinforced fixed ring, worked in front of or under the anus. 5

The Box or solid ring is e.g. fixed at the fixed point A. and at the fixed point B there is a repelling device AB with a spring Fürung or tensioning devices (e.g., spring as in mousetrap) or a Drive (such as hydraulic drive), the box always with moderate force pushes to the back. Naturally it is also possible that not only a fixed box is permanently pushed to the back, but also all other constructions that are suitable To absorb feces, e.g. stretched plastic or paper bags or other bags, e.g. made of natural fibers etc.

So would it be also possible, that one does not need fixed point A and B, but only one rel. small tail clamp is attached, at the lower end of the catcher with moderate pressure telescoped into position.

Or another Varriante of a device to be attached to the rod would be that a fixed box is attached just before the anticipated Kotabsatz equal to the rod that behind (opening to the anus) or under the anus (opening up) in Position is brought, and that the rod is pressed immediately when mounting in the upper Kotabsatzpostion. 6 , So a pivoting the Kotauffnahmegefäßes would not be necessary.

These Rod keeping is already the case with some breeds.

Or it is held after attachment to the tail, for example, a very thin light plastic bag or foil like an upside down parachute before the anus, which falls down with the first droppings and so at least a slight picking up the feces guaranteed from the ground. This turned parachute UF would be with eg Schnürren Schnü, brackets, etc. simply attached to the tail approach. 7 ,

One of the strings SpS could serve as a tension cord, which transmits the signal to open the bag. For example, if the inverted parachute had a rod St it would have mutated into a quasi inverted umbrella UR and could be stretched like an umbrella. 7 ,

These Clamping devices can are varied, it is important that the otherwise perpendicular sleep down hanging e.g. Bag by unfolding in particular also forward unfolds and so the area vertically under the anus at the moment the feces paragraph covers well. The filled with faeces bag works after the Lowering the rod together again, may remain on the animal, or he slips over the lowered tail again. Likewise, it would be possible for a collapsed one Box of any shape is unfolded by a tension cord.

The Attachment to the base of the tail basically has the advantage that it is easy to put on, because the dog usually does not work for longer landing operations holds still.
