  • the device according to the invention therefore allows hygienic and easy use during collection of excrement.
  • the device of the invention allows the user to keep the bag in the closed position on the frame until it is close to a trash can.
  • the frame consists of two parts each having substantially the shape of a U-shaped part having a core carrying a lower wing and an upper wing, said parts being pivotally connected together so as to be able to pivot around a pivot axis between an open position in which the webs of the U-shaped pieces are separated from one another so as to define an opening between the webs and the wings of the pieces, and a closed position in which the webs, the lower wings and the upper wings are respectively adjacent to each other.
  • the lower cores of the parts are connected together by a first pivot and the upper cores of the parts are connected together by a second pivot having a pivot axis coaxial with the pivot axis of the first pivot.
  • the bag advantageously covers all the edges of the frame, so that the frame is protected from any risk of soiling when picking up a dejection.
  • the U-shaped parts forming the frame are adapted so that in the closed position, a U-shaped part is in the space defined between the wings of the other U-shaped part. This allows closing correct bag mounted on the frame between two successive uses and therefore helps prevent accidentally putting your hand in the bag or losing part of the droppings when the bag is overturned or when the device with the bag.

  • the means for fixing the bag carried by the core of the second part consist of less in two longitudinal fixing profiles which are mutually parallel and perpendicular to the pivot axis of the pieces together, while the means for fixing the bag carried by the core of the first part consist of at least two buttons or profiles turned and located relative to said core in the pivoting direction of the second part to bring the frame in open position.
  • the profiles are advantageously perpendicular to the axis of pivoting of the parts between them.
  • the use of profiles, in particular perpendicular to the pivot axis ensures traction of the bag on its part extending between the profiles covering the pivots, the part of the bag covering the part of the core carrying the profiles not being substantially subjected to traction.
  • the traction is also better distributed, so that the risks of tearing during the opening and closing operations of the framework are more limited.
  • buttons or profiles facing the rear of the frame allows also to hold a part of the bag backwards and thus ensure the covering of the frame by the bag.
  • the pallet is provided means for placing a protective film over at least part from the palette.
  • the pallet includes a means for carrying a reel of film intended to cover at least part of the pallet, said means advantageously comprising a blocking or brake mechanism.
