Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a disposable container for picking up domestic animals droppings, in particular, but not exclusively, of dogs.
  • the invention relates also to a development of a container in cardboard and similar material to make such a container.
  • Plastic bags are known, for example, comprising pliers integral to the bag.
  • the pliers are used for picking up the droppings that are then wrapped up in the bag.
  • the drawbacks of this device are above all the cost and the low biodegradability of plastics.
  • the picking up effectiveness is not the same according to the consistency of the droppings.
  • a box and a shovel or dustpan or the like are used.
  • the box is usually made of cardboard but the shovel is made of plastics, causing again environmental problems for the disposal of the waste produced.
  • such collecting system consists of two elements that can create space problems when carrying them and convenience problems because their use requires both hands.
  • the container made of corrugated cardboard or similar material, that comprises a substantially stiff flat bottom from which at least a wall foldably extends to which a plurality of wings are in turn foldably connected suitable for closing in a snap fit engagement onto the flat bottom defining along with said wall a closed space.
  • One of these wings acts as lid of the container eventually closing in a snap fit engagement on the other wings and besides is capable of pushing the droppings being picked up onto the base of the container before closing it definitively.
  • the container can have substantially prismatic shape with triangular cross section
  • the flat bottom can be for example rectangular and from it a wall that is arranged obliquely can foldable extend; from said wall the foldable lid extends at the side opposite to that of the flat bottom, and the other two triangular shaped wings are foldably connected to the other two sides of said wall.
  • the triangular wings can have projections suitable for snap fitting with notches made on the flat bottom, and the lid when closing can, in turn, snap fit with notches made, one for each, on the triangular wings themselves by means of projections provided for on the lid itself.
  • every triangular wing has a notch at the side that contacts the lid of the container and, at the side that engages with the flat bottom, has a saw toothed projection that snap fit with a corresponding notch thereof.
  • the flat bottom can have two notches parallel to two of its opposite sides suitable for holding in a snap fit engagement the projections provided for on the triangular wings.
  • the lid has two projections, one for every side that fits together with the triangular wings, each of which snap fits in a notch present in these triangular wings.
  • the container has the wall substantially at a 45° angle with respect to the flat bottom, whereas the triangular wings and the foldable lid are placed orthogonally to one another and to the flat bottom itself.
  • All the elements can be printed with coloured patterns.
  • a container in corrugated cardboard for making a disposable container of substantially prismatic shape with triangular cross section for removing domestic animals droppings comprises a square wall to whose sides two by two opposite two triangular wings comprising each a notch and a projection, a flat bottom with two notches and a lid with two projections are respectively foldably connected.
  • Such projections made on the triangular wings are suitable for snap fitting the notches of the flat bottom, and the projections made on the lid can snap fit the notches made on the triangular wings.
  • a development of a container made of corrugated cardboard 1 comprises a square wall 2 to whose sides two by two opposite two triangular wings 3 comprising each a notch 4 and a elongated projection 5, a flat bottom 6 with two elongated notches 7 and a lid 8 with two projections 9 are respectively foldably connected.
  • the elongated projections 5 made on the triangular wings 3 have saw toothed ends and can snap fit in the elongated notches 7 of the flat bottom 6, whereas the projections 9 made on the lid 8 can snap fit the notches 4 of the triangular wings 3.
  • the development 1 has just been open, breaking the glue drop 10 of figure 2, and keeping the projections 5 and 9 still disconnected from the corresponding notches 7 and 4.
  • the development 1 is arranged in the position shown with the triangular wings 3 slightly folded towards the inside.
  • Development 1 can be at first closed partially forming the container 20, by engaging in a snap fit projections 5 with notches 7.
  • container 20 has been assembled and is ready for the use.
  • the prismatic shape as well as the presence of lid 8 that acts as shovel before closing container 20 are to be noted.
  • container 20 is shown during the use for removing and containing the droppings 11, indicated diagrammatically with a cylinder.
  • Container 20 is moved according to direction 13 towards the ground, then is pushed towards the droppings in direction 14 and then the droppings are pushed by lid 8, trough the movement 15, into the container itself.
  • the container can be gripped even with only one hand 16 bracing the two wings 3 among the thumb 17 and the remainder of the hand, and then pushing and rotating lid 8 with the forefinger 18 and possibly also with the middle finger 19 after that base 6 has been caused to scrap the ground for partially picking up droppings 11.
  • container 20 has been closed with snap fit engagement of projections 9, extending from the lid 8, into notches 4 made each on one of the two triangular wings 3.
  • container 20 The complete closure of container 20 is possible owing to flexible projections 9, which, after bending, snap fit notches 4.
  • Container 20 can be then carried closed and disposed after being used. It has the following advantages:
