Definitions
- Styers (U.S. Patent No. 2,900,156) and Potdevin, et al., (U.S. Patent No. 2,216,133), illustrate the use of metal tie strips for securing closed paper bags.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view with portions broken away of a disposable container open and ready to receive solid animal waste being scooped by a spatula.
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of a disposable container containing solid animal waste and a spatula, with portions shown in phantom.
- the container 100 is shown in a generally collapsed configuration.
- the bag mouth 116 is completely closed, and the disposable container 100 lies flat for easy storage and transport.
- -Further size reduction - to a pocket-sized product, (not shown) is possible by placing the spatula 127 at the bottom of the bag and folding the container 100 about this bottom or base area.
- the phantom lines in Figure 2 illustrate the bag mouth 116 when the disposable container 100 is in the fully open configuration. In this configuration, the gusseted sidewalls 145 are extended, straightening the creases.
- the disposable container 100 may be tipped up on a bag base 160. Once the disposable container 100 holds the solid animal waste product 101, the dirtied spatula 127 may be deposited therein. At this point, as is illustrated in Figure 5, the disposable container 100 is gripped between a first and second hand 164, 168 of a user and the mouth opening 116 is stretched further apart. This separation action disengages the locking support structure 114, i.e., the support arms 153a, 153b and the center stay 137, permitting the support arms 153a, 153b to fold upwardly about the pair of hinges 148.
- the locking support structure 114 i.e., the support arms 153a, 153b and the center stay 137
- the disposable container 100 is then permitted to adopt its collapsed configuration, (shown generally in Fig. 2) .
- the disposable container 100 is sealed to secure the contents and to contain the odors within the bag, by rolling over the bag mouth 116 twice, or so, and then bending the ends of the closure strip 121 around the rolled bag mouth 116 in a conventional manner.
- the flexible bag 102 may be provided with a pleated or pre-folded area adjacent the bag mouth 116 (not shown) , and the width of the closure strip 121 is of a suitable dimension such that the significantly more rigid locking support structure 114 will not interfere with the folding process.
- the locking support structure 114 can be recessed approximately 1 inch from the bag mouth 116 and the closure strip 121 of width 1/4 inch.

Abstract
Un conteneur jetable (100) de déchets animaux solides comprend un sac flexible (102) imperméable à l'eau, une structure (114) de support de blocage, une bande de fermeture (121) et une spatule détachable (127). La structure de support comprend un mécanisme de blocage formé d'un étai central (137) opposé à une paire de supports articulés (153a, 153b) qui maintiennent ouverte la bouche du sac lorsque celui-ci est utilisé. La structure de support de blocage assure un placement précis des déchets animaux solides dans le sac pendant son utilisation, et son affaissement approprié après son utilisation. Le conteneur jetable est économique à produire, jetable, portatif, sanitaire, repliable et fermable. Le conteneur jetable peut également être ouvert plusieurs fois consécutives sans détruire l'intégrité de la structure de support de blocage.A disposable solid animal waste container (100) includes a flexible waterproof bag (102), a blocking support structure (114), a closure strip (121) and a detachable spatula (127). The support structure comprises a blocking mechanism formed by a central stay (137) opposite a pair of articulated supports (153a, 153b) which keep the mouth of the bag open when it is used. The blocking support structure ensures precise placement of solid animal waste in the bag during use, and its proper collapse after use. The disposable container is economical to produce, disposable, portable, sanitary, foldable and closable. The disposable container can also be opened several consecutive times without destroying the integrity of the blocking support structure.
