Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of using a device for collecting organic waste from ground.
  • a further disadvantage of prior organic waste collecting devices is that they can hardly be properly sealed upon use, since, for hygienic reasons, the collected organic waste must not directly contact conventional urban waste collecting vessels.
  • prior organic waste collecting devices have a comparatively large size and cannot be arranged in a pocket which represents a negative aspect for the user who cannot conceal the device in a pocket.
  • a waste collecting device including a waste collecting bag having two collecting legs defining two parts of the collecting bag, i.e. a first part of the collecting bag 88, of substantially a rectangular configuration, arranged between the bottom 78 of the bag and the gripping edge 84 and a second portion 90 of the bag, also of rectangular configuration, arranged between the gripping edge 84 and the opening 72.
  • the two gripping elements 86 and the two collecting leg 82 For gripping and collecting the organic waste material, it is necessary to grip the two gripping elements 86 and the two collecting leg 82, so as to slightly displace from one another the two collecting legs 82. Then the user must overturn the first portion 88 of the bag within the second portion 90 of the bag, as shown in figure 6b. Then, a collecting leg 82 is pressed along its gripping edge 84 to a flat inclined position on the bottom, whereas the other collecting leg 82 must be handled to perform rotary motions to introduce the waste material inside the first part 88 of the bag.
  • the collecting leg 82 directly contact the waste organic material and also directly contact the hand of the user; thus, during this movement, the hand of the user can accidentally contact the waste organic material or, at minimum, the ground.
  • the second portion 90 of the bag must be overturned above the first portion 88 of the bag, and above the two legs 82, thereby the side, previously on the outside, of the wall of the second portion of the bag forms the inner side whilst the inner side of the wall of the second portion 88 of the bag forms the outer side. Then, finally, the bag 70 can be disposed of.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks of prior organic waste collecting devices.
  • the above aim is achieved by using a device for collecting organic waste from ground, which device has a very reduced size and can be made at a very low cost.
  • a device for collecting organic waste from ground comprising containment flexible means which are operatively coupled to collecting means, said flexible means, being made of an impermeable material, being adapted to be wound on said collecting means to provide an impermeable space for engaging therein said collecting means, as well as a further impermeable space for holding therein said organic waste.
  • the device for collecting organic waste from ground is characterized by the features of the characterizing portion of claim 1.
  • the subject organic waste collecting device provides the following advantages.
  • the cost of said device is much smaller than that of a comparable prior organic waste collecting device, and this both due to a novel construction of the device and due to the different materials used for making it.
  • the subject device can be used in a very safe manner, owing to its small size and use facility and simplicity.
  • the use of the subject device provides with very good hygienic properties, since it allows to collect said organic waste in a very safe manner, from a personal hygiene standpoint, while preventing a user hands from contacting the ground. Moreover, the collected organic waste can be easily and quickly sealed in said collecting device, thereby preventing any pollution to the environment.
  • the device 1 for collecting organic waste from ground comprises a containment or holding bag 2, made of a plastic material, preferably a polyethylene material, and being advantageously provided with a pair of handles 3.
  • Said bag 2 is provided, along the front walls 8 thereof, with a pair of fins 5, made of a paper material of any other easily biodegradable material, which are coupled, by adhesive means, seaming or sealing means to said walls 8.
  • the fins or legs 5 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of said bag 2 and have their connection arranged along an edge 6 near the middle point of said longitudinal axis.
  • bag 2 is further provided with a pair of longitudinal folds 7, allowing the two side walls 4 to be displaced or recovered ot a half of the width of the front walls 8.
  • said device 1 At the end of the making and packaging operations, said device 1 will occupy a very reduced space, as it is clearly shown in Figure 1.
  • the subject device can be easily carried, even in small size pockets.
  • said holding bag 2 must have a length sufficient to provide the mentioned winding, while providing a collecting region for the organic waste and allowing said region to be easily wound in order to reclose it.
  • the subject device can be disposed of by putting it in a perfectly sealed condition in conventional urban waste collecting vessels.
