Abstract

With the present invention, a packaging box (1) for receiving animal excrement is presented, which is produced by means of a single folding sheet (7). The pre-punched folded sheet (7) is first glued after a predetermined folding rule and then folded, whereby a mechanical stress between the individual partial surfaces (2, 3, 14) is generated, which has a restoring force (K) at the folded edges (15, 15 ', 15 '') and thus exerts on the individual surfaces, so that the packaging box (1) with a slight finger pressure on the opposite edges (6, 6 ') is erected ready for use.

Description

The The present invention is concerned with a packaging box for receiving animal excreta, in particular with a packaging box, which is formed from a one-piece folding arch.

Such packaging boxes are known in the art from the DE 20 2005 013 623 U1 as well as from the DE 28 30 983 known. The publication DE 20 2005 013 623 U1 discloses a stamped blank sheet with diagonally spaced punching lines and at least three glue flaps and a bottom having an opening. Before the intended use of the punching sheet is folded according to a specific folding rule, creating a pyramid-shaped container is placed over the male dog feces and optionally with a second folded sheet, which is also folded into a pyramidal container and optionally glued or held together with a hook and loop fastener , The two containers are then connected to each other by means of a hook-and-loop fastener, so that the male dog waste is contained therein and can be transported away. This container is too complicated in its practical application and too complicated to handle. In addition, the touch of the feces with the hands, even with plastic gloves is perceived as unaesthetic and unpleasant. Another disadvantage is that the intended use of the receptacle in slippery ground, such. B. wet leaves or soft feces, is not guaranteed safe. Further, it is considered disadvantageous that the punching cut sheet is too large in geometric dimensions to be easily carried in the handbag because the folded sheet is too bulky. The other device of the prior art ( DE 28 30 983 ) for picking up, enclosing and transporting waste, in particular dog waste, is essentially a box whose bottom is opened and closed by means of a slide. The opening is placed over the dog pile and enclosed. Then the slider is closed, so that the male dog waste is included in the box. Also this device ( DE 28 30 983 ) is formed from a folded sheet, which is folded together before the intended use and must be glued to various adhesive surfaces before use in order to be ready for use. Known in the prior art receptacles for lying on the street dog excrement are both too complicated to handle as well as too bulky in transport and construction that they can be easily carried in the purse and also require a certain skill, in particular the elderly is not reasonable. Another disadvantage is seen in the known containers in that it is not readily absorbable on slippery surfaces, such as wet leaves, the feces.
