Description

« Dispositif de ramassage de déjections animales, adaptable ou intégré à une laisse à enrouleur » "Device for collecting animal droppings, adaptable or integrated into a retractable leash"
L'invention concerne un dispositif de ramassage des déjections animales, adaptable ou intégré à une laisse à enrouleur.The invention relates to a device for collecting animal excrement, adaptable or integrated into a retractable leash.
La pollution des voies publiques par les déjections animales est un problème connu de tous les citadins, et depuis des décennies les municipalités et les particuliers, propriétaires de chiens ou non, s'emploient à trouver des solutions à cet inconvénient qui va croissant avec le nombre d'animaux domestiques.Pollution of public roads by animal excrement is a problem known to all city dwellers, and for decades municipalities and individuals, owners of dogs or not, have been working to find solutions to this disadvantage which increases with the number of domestic animals.
Pour tenter de réduire les pollutions canines, certaines municipalités ont légiféré pour l'obligation de tenue en laisse et la propreté des chiens, d'autres envisagent de délivrer des amendes en cas de non nettoyage de la voie publique souillée par des animaux. D'autres municipalités tentent des actions préventives avec l'installation de "canipoches" sur le coté des poubelles, mais force est de constater que ces dispositifs pourtant efficaces se trouvent en nombre insuffisant et souvent éloignés du lieu ou le chien choisit de faire ses besoins. Même dans ces lieux équipés ? la solution proposée n'est pas bien adaptée.In an attempt to reduce canine pollution, some municipalities have legislated for the obligation of keeping a leash and the cleanliness of dogs, others plan to issue fines in the event of non-cleaning of the public road contaminated by animals. Other municipalities are trying preventive actions with the installation of "canipoches" on the side of the garbage cans, but it is clear that these effective devices are in short supply and often far from the place where the dog chooses to do its business . Even in these equipped places? the proposed solution is not well suited.
De toute évidence, un dispositif de ramassage individualisé facilement transportable par les propriétaires de chiens semble plus adapté.Obviously, an individualized collection device easily transportable by dog owners seems more suitable.
ART ANTERIEUR Différents systèmes ont été proposés dans le but de ramasser lesdites déjections sans se salir les mains, notamment les documents FR 2 649 143 et US 5 438 708 présentent des gants utilisables comme sacs. Toutefois, ces dispositifs n'ont pas connu un développement important en raison de la répulsion naturelle à se saisir des excréments de cette manière, même à travers un gant. D'autres dispositifs qui utilisent généralement des cartons plies ont été proposés avec plus de succès, notamment tels que ceux décrits dans les documents FR 2 652 101 , FR 2 686 634, FR 2 741 642, FR 2 747 135, US 4 148 510 ou US 5 797 636. Tous ces dispositifs sont assez simples, peu coûteux et généralement peu encombrants. Ils présentent toutefois un inconvénient majeur, le propriétaire du chien doit penser à les emporter, ce qui est rarement le cas. D'autres systèmes plus ou moins sophistiqués ont été décrits • tels que par exemple une canne-sac dans US 4 236 741, divers dispositifs installés sur des tiges, par exemple tels que décrits dans US 4 951 987, US 5 702 138, US 5 868 447 ou WO 9839517. II a aussi été proposé des dispositifs en deux éléments de type sac et poussoir qui sont des variantes du système pelle et balayette, et un exemple est donné par US 5 226 182.PRIOR ART Different systems have been proposed for the purpose of collecting said excrement without getting your hands dirty, in particular documents FR 2 649 143 and US 5 438 708 present gloves that can be used as bags. However, these devices have not undergone significant development due to the natural repulsion to handle excrement in this way, even through a glove. Other devices which generally use folded cartons have been proposed with more success, in particular such as those described in the documents FR 2 652 101, FR 2 686 634, FR 2 741 642, FR 2 747 135, US 4 148 510 or US 5,797,636. All of these devices are fairly simple, inexpensive and generally compact. However, they have a major drawback, the owner of the dog must remember to take them, which is rarely the case. Other more or less sophisticated systems have been described • such as for example a cane-bag in US 4,236,741, various devices installed on rods, for example as described in US 4,951,987, US 5,702,138, US 5,868,447 or WO 9839517. There have also been proposed two-part devices of the bag and pusher type which are variants of the shovel and brush system, and an example is given by US 5,226,182.
Tous ces dispositifs plus ou moins compliqués de ramassage "à distance" présentent plusieurs inconvénients majeurs, ils sont coûteux et transforment la sortie de l'animal en expédition tant les ustensiles sont encombrants et mal adaptés aux sorties en urgence. Comme pour les appareils simplifiés ? l'outil de ramassage peut être fréquemment oublié.All these more or less complicated "remote" collection devices have several major drawbacks, they are expensive and transform the output of the animal into a shipment as the utensils are bulky and ill-suited to emergency exits. As for simplified devices? the collection tool can be frequently forgotten.
Une meilleure approche du problème a été tentée dans GB 2 361 615. Ce document décrit l'association d'une laisse et d'un container pour transporter des boites de ramassage. Bien que ce dispositif présente des améliorations vis à vis de la technique antérieure, le ramassage des déjections n'est pas aisé et les emballages utilisés sont volumineux, entraînant par là un ensemble encombrant.A better approach to the problem has been attempted in GB 2 361 615. This document describes the association of a leash and a container for transporting collection boxes. Although this device presents improvements with respect to the prior art, the collection of excrement is not easy and the packaging used is bulky, thereby causing a bulky assembly.
L'invention a donc pour objectif de résoudre ces principales difficultés en proposant un dispositif qui ne peut pas être oublié par le propriétaire du chien, facile d'emploi et qui rend le ramassage moins désagréable. La présente invention concerne un dispositif de ramassage des déjections animales, caractérisé en ce qu'il est pourvu de fixations pour se placer sur un enrouleur de laisse ou bien est intégré avec celui-ci en un seul appareil monobloc, et est constitué de deux bras articulés pour la collecte des déjections. Lesdits bras articulés supportent un emballage jetable utilisé pour la collecte des déjections. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention se dégageront de la description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés qui ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemples non limitatifs.The invention therefore aims to solve these main difficulties by providing a device which cannot be forgotten by the owner of the dog, easy to use and which makes the collection less unpleasant. The present invention relates to a device for collecting animal excrement, characterized in that it is provided with fixings for positioning on a leash reel or else is integrated with the latter in a single monobloc device, and consists of two arms articulated for the collection of droppings. Said articulated arms support a disposable packaging used for collecting droppings. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended drawings which are given only by way of nonlimiting examples.
DESCRIPTION DES DESSINS :DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
Les figures 1 à 4 présentent un exemple particulier de réalisation selon l'invention, dans lequel la laisse et son enrouleur sont intégrés dans un ensemble monobloc. La figure 1 est une vue en perspective par en-dessous du dispositif de ramassage , des déjections animales en position d'ouverture La figure 2 est une vue de dessous du dispositif en position de fermeture. La figure 3 illustre le mécanisme d'ouverture et de fermeture en vue de côté et en coupe, le dispositif étant en position d'ouverture. La figure 4 est une vue de côté en coupe qui montre le dispositif de ramassage en position de fermeture. Comme le montre la figure 1, le dispositif de ramassage des déjections animales est présenté en vue de dessous en perspective, dans une configuration d'ouverture, c'est à dire les bras articulés 3, 4, servant au ramassage plies contre l'appareil. Le dispositif de ramassage selon l'invention est constitué des éléments essentiels suivants : une armature 1 servant de support aux différents éléments constitutifs, une laisse 2 présentée sur la figure 1 avec son crochet pour l'accrochage sur le collier de l'animal. Le dispositif à enrouleur intégré dans l'armature 1 n'est pas représenté sur les figures, deux bras articulés 3, 4, permettant le ramassage des déjections animales, un mécanisme 5 pour l'ouverture et la fermeture du dispositif avec un bouton poussoir 6 pour son actionnement, - une poignée 7 permettant le maintien ferme de l'ensemble dans la main de l'utilisateur.Figures 1 to 4 show a particular embodiment of the invention, in which the leash and its reel are integrated in a one-piece assembly. Figure 1 is a perspective view from below of the collection device, animal excrement in the open position Figure 2 is a bottom view of the device in the closed position. Figure 3 illustrates the opening and closing mechanism in side view and in section, the device being in the open position. Figure 4 is a side sectional view showing the pickup device in the closed position. As shown in FIG. 1, the device for collecting animal excrement is presented in perspective view from below, in an open configuration, that is to say the articulated arms 3, 4, used for the collection folded against the apparatus. . The collection device according to the invention consists of the following essential elements: a frame 1 serving as a support for the various constituent elements, a leash 2 presented in FIG. 1 with its hook for hanging on the animal's collar. The roller device integrated in the frame 1 is not shown in the figures, two articulated arms 3, 4, allowing the collection of animal excrement, a mechanism 5 for opening and closing the device with a push button 6 for its actuation, - a handle 7 allowing the assembly to be held firmly in the hand of the user.
Plus précisément, et tel que cela est illustré sur la figure 2, le dispositif de ramassage en position de fermeture se présente avec les deux bras articulés 3, 4, déployés, avec les extrémités 8, 9, desdits bras au contact l'une de l'autre. Lesquels bras articulés sont en forme de U et sont fixés solidairement sur les axes 10 et 11 , de telle manière que lorsque ces axes pivotent, les bras se déplacent simultanément. Dans cet exemple de représentation, le bras 3 se déplace à l'intérieur du bras 4.More specifically, and as illustrated in FIG. 2, the pickup device in the closed position is presented with the two articulated arms 3, 4, deployed, with the ends 8, 9, of said arms in contact with one of the other. Which articulated arms are U-shaped and are fixed integrally on the axes 10 and 11, so that when these axes rotate, the arms move simultaneously. In this exemplary representation, the arm 3 moves inside the arm 4.
L'espace à l'intérieur des bras articulés 3, 4, est le volume utile de ramassage. En effet, selon l'invention, un sac jetable est fixé sur les extrémités 8, 9 des bras articulés, ou bien est positionné dans ledit espace délimité par le mouvement des bras, de manière à collecter les déjections animales.The space inside the articulated arms 3, 4 is the useful collection volume. In fact, according to the invention, a disposable bag is fixed on the ends 8, 9 of the articulated arms, or else is positioned in said space delimited by the movement of the arms, so as to collect animal excrement.
Le sac jetable peut être réalisé avec différents matériaux tels que papier, plastique, matériaux non tissés, complexes, etc .. et posséder différentes formes. Toutefois, et de préférence, le sac est choisi parmi les sacs standards de petite contenance utilisables pour des applications variées telles que les emballages et le transport, de manière à être aisément disponible pour un coût très bas.The disposable bag can be made with different materials such as paper, plastic, non-woven, complex materials, etc. and have different shapes. However, and preferably, the bag is chosen from standard small capacity bags which can be used for various applications such as packaging and transport, so as to be readily available at a very low cost.
Sur les différentes figures 1 à 4, le dispositif d'enroulement de la laisse 2 n'est pas détaillé, ce dispositif est tout à fait classique et peut se présenter de différentes manières, la principale étant un enroulement de la laisse sur un anneau central avec un ressort permettant le rappel de la laisse. De tels mécanismes sont classiques et s'intègrent dans le dispositif de ramassage sous différentes formes.In the different figures 1 to 4, the device for winding the leash 2 is not detailed, this device is entirely classic fact and can be presented in different ways, the main one being a winding of the leash on a central ring with a spring allowing the return of the leash. Such mechanisms are conventional and are integrated into the collection device in different forms.
Selon l'invention, le mécanisme à enrouleur pour la laisse peut soit être intégré à l'intérieur de l'armature 1 pour réaliser un ensemble monobloc, soit être fixé à l'extérieur du dispositif de ramassage, sur la face opposée de celle des bras articulés. Cette fixation peut être définitive si des moyens adhésifs permanents de type colle, adhésifs double face, etc.. sont utilisés, soit temporaire si des sangles, des liaisons avec "Velcro" ou d'autres liens sont employés. Lesdits moyens de fixations peuvent être réglables et éventuellement élastiques.According to the invention, the retractable mechanism for the leash can either be integrated inside the frame 1 to make a one-piece assembly, or be fixed outside the pick-up device, on the opposite side to that of the articulated arms. This fixing can be final if permanent adhesive means of glue type, double-sided adhesives, etc. are used, or temporary if straps, connections with "Velcro" or other links are used. Said fixing means can be adjustable and possibly elastic.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif à enrouleur ou le système de fixation de la laisse se situe toujours dans la partie supérieure du dispositif de ramassage, à l'opposé des bras articulés.According to the invention, the reel device or the leash attachment system is always located in the upper part of the pickup device, opposite the articulated arms.
Le mécanisme de fonctionnement du dispositif de ramassage des déjections animales illustré sur les différentes figures est constitué, outre les deux bras articulés 3, 4 solidairement fixés sur les axes 10, 11, d'une tige à crémaillère 12 actionnée au moyen du bouton poussoir 6. Ladite tige à crémaillère est crantée sur deux parties de sa longueur et sur ses deux faces, tel que cela est illustré sur les figures 3 et 4.The operating mechanism of the device for collecting animal excrement illustrated in the different figures consists, in addition to the two articulated arms 3, 4 fixedly attached to the axes 10, 11, of a rack rod 12 actuated by means of the push button 6 Said rack rod is notched over two parts of its length and on its two faces, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
Les crans 18, 19, portés par la tige à crémaillère 12 ,interagissent avec les crans portés par des roues dentées 13, 14, solidairement fixées sur les axes 10, 11.The notches 18, 19, carried by the rack rod 12, interact with the notches carried by toothed wheels 13, 14, fixedly attached to the axes 10, 11.
Un ressort de rappel 17, dont l'extrémité est reliée à l'armature 1, est fixé solidairement sur l'axe 10, ce ressort permet la fermeture du dispositif de ramassage lorsque le bouton poussoir est actionné. Un cliquet 16 permet le verrouillage du dispositif de ramassage en position ouverte, ce cliquet opère en relation avec l'encoche 20 portée par la tige à crémaillère 12. De manière à ce que la tige à crémaillère 12 coulisse aisément dans son axe de déplacement et actionne les bras articulés, un guide 15 est placé à proximité de son extrémité.A return spring 17, the end of which is connected to the frame 1, is fixedly attached to the axis 10, this spring enables the pick-up device to be closed when the push button is actuated. A pawl 16 allows the pick-up device to be locked in the open position, this pawl operates in relation to the notch 20 carried by the rack rod 12. In such a way that the rack rod 12 slides easily in its axis of movement and actuates the articulated arms, a guide 15 is placed near its end.
L'appareil de ramassage est avantageusement pourvu d'une butée 21 limitant la rotation du bras articulé 4 dans son déplacement.The pick-up device is advantageously provided with a stop 21 limiting the rotation of the articulated arm 4 in its movement.
Des éléments souples 22 et 23, représentés uniquement sur la figure 3, sont reliés d'une part aux axes 10 et 11 et d'autre part aux extrémités 8 et 9 des bras articulés. L'élément souple 22 relie l'axe 10 et l'extrémité 9 alors que l'élément souple 23 relie l'axe 11 et l'extrémité 8. Lesdits éléments souples 22, 23, peuvent être en plastique ou en tissu, par exemple, la fonction de ces éléments est d'aider à la contention des déjections lorsque celles ci ont été récupérées dans l'emballage jetable fixé dans l'espace intérieur du dispositif de ramassage.Flexible elements 22 and 23, shown only in FIG. 3, are connected on the one hand to the axes 10 and 11 and on the other hand to the ends 8 and 9 of the articulated arms. The flexible element 22 connects the axis 10 and the end 9 while the flexible element 23 connects the axis 11 and the end 8. Said flexible elements 22, 23 can be made of plastic or fabric, for example , the function of these elements is to help contain the droppings when they have been collected in the disposable packaging fixed in the interior space of the collection device.
Selon l'invention et en référence aux figures 3 et 4, le mécanisme de fonctionnement du dispositif de ramassage des déjections animales est le suivant :According to the invention and with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the operating mechanism of the device for collecting animal excrement is as follows:
L'appareil en position d'ouverture, illustré sur la figure 3, est verrouillé au moyen du cliquet 16 introduit dans l'encoche 20 de la tige à crémaillère 12. Dans cette position d'ouverture le ressort 17 est sous tension. Un sac en plastique est disposé dans l'espace intérieur délimité par les bras 3 et 4, ledit sac étant fixé sur les extrémités 8 et 9 des bras. L'appareil est positionné sur les déjections, le sac plastique les englobant. Le bouton poussoir 6 est actionné, ce qui a pour effet de libérer la contrainte sur le ressort 17 et de déplacer la tige à crémaillère 12 vers l'arrière. En conséquence, les bras articulés pivotent dans le sens indiqué sur la figure 3, les extrémités 8 et 9 desdits bras se rapprochent l'une de l'autre pour refermer les déjections dans l'emballage jetable. - L'éjection du sac dans une poubelle se fait par une nouvelle action sur le bouton poussoir qui a pour effet d'ouvrir les bras articulés.The device in the open position, illustrated in FIG. 3, is locked by means of the pawl 16 introduced into the notch 20 of the rack rod 12. In this open position the spring 17 is under tension. A plastic bag is placed in the interior space delimited by the arms 3 and 4, said bag being fixed on the ends 8 and 9 of the arms. The device is positioned on the droppings, the plastic bag encompassing them. The push button 6 is actuated, which has the effect of releasing the stress on the spring 17 and displacing the rack rod 12 backwards. Consequently, the articulated arms pivot in the direction indicated in FIG. 3, the ends 8 and 9 of said arms approach each other to close the droppings in the disposable packaging. - The ejection of the bag in a trash can is done by a new action on the push button which has the effect of opening the articulated arms.
Dans la configuration représentée par la figure 4, les éléments souples 22 et 23 sont tendus dans les plans des bras 3 et 4.In the configuration shown in FIG. 4, the flexible elements 22 and 23 are stretched in the planes of the arms 3 and 4.
Les avantages de l'invention par rapport à l'art antérieur sont multiples :The advantages of the invention compared to the prior art are manifold:
- le dispositif est peu coûteux, l'appareil fonctionne de façon automatisée pour le ramassage et l'éviction des déjections, le dispositif se fixe sur différents modèles de laisses à enrouleur et peut aussi être intégré avec l'enrouleur de laisse en un système monobloc, l'appareil est peu volumineux et aisément transportable pour toutes les sorties avec l'animal, les consommables constitués par les sacs en plastique ou en papier sont standards et de faible coût comparativement à des cartons spécialement découpés pour constituer un ensemble jetable, le dispositif de ramassage est manipulable avec une seule main.- the device is inexpensive, the device works in an automated way for the collection and the eviction of excrements, the device is fixed on different models of retractable leashes and can also be integrated with the retractable leash in a monobloc system , the device is not bulky and easily transportable for all outings with the animal, the consumables made up of plastic or paper bags are standard and low cost compared to cartons specially cut to constitute a disposable assembly, the device can be handled with one hand.
Tel que cela est représenté sur les différentes figures, la poignée 7 a été agencée pour l'utilisation aisée du dispositif par un droitier, le bouton poussoir actionnant le mécanisme d'ouverture et de fermeture étant situé pour être actionné avec le pouce lorsque l'utilisateur a la poignée en main. Une variante pour gaucher ou un autre positionnement du bouton poussoir est tout à fait réalisable sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Plusieurs variantes du dispositif de ramassage des déjections sont possibles sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, la principale concerne les différentes configurations possibles de laisses, avec ou sans enrouleur, dans l'appareil. Il peut en effet être aisément imaginé de placer un lien avec un dispositif de rappel, dont il existe de nombreuses variantes.As shown in the various figures, the handle 7 has been arranged for easy use of the device by a right-hander, the push button actuating the opening and closing mechanism being situated to be actuated with the thumb when the user has the handle in hand. A variant for left-handed or another positioning of the push button is entirely achievable without departing from the scope of the invention. Several variants of the manure collection device are possible without departing from the scope of the invention, the main one concerns the different possible configurations of leashes, with or without reel, in the device. It can indeed be easily imagined to place a link with a reminder device, of which there are many variants.
Le dispositif de ramassage combiné avec la laisse peut présenter plusieurs variantes quant à l'agencement des bras articulés, à leur positionnement relatif, à leurs dimensions, aux dispositifs pour la fermeture ou l'ouverture desdits bras, avec ou sans ressort, avec des moyens variés de libération des bras, lesdits moyens pouvant être motorisés et fonctionner, par exemple, avec des piles, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The collection device combined with the leash may have several variants as to the arrangement of the articulated arms, their relative positioning, their dimensions, the devices for closing or opening said arms, with or without spring, with means various arms release, said means can be motorized and operate, for example, with batteries, without departing from the scope of the invention.
Bien évidemment, les types de matériaux utilisés pour réaliser le dispositif de ramassage peuvent être très divers. Pour des raisons économiques il peut être envisagé par exemple un appareil principalement en plastique moulé, ou plus robuste en aluminium, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Obviously, the types of materials used to make the collection device can be very diverse. For economic reasons it can be envisaged, for example, a device mainly made of molded plastic, or more robust of aluminum, without departing from the scope of the invention.
Une variante intéressante de l'invention concerne la possibilité d'adapter sur l'armature du dispositif de ramassage un système permettant l'accrochage des sacs jetables en recharges. Il peut en effet être envisagé de placer un anneau en forme de dérouleur sur l'armature 1, et relié aux deux côtés de l'appareil, de manière à placer un rouleau de sacs en plastique sur celui-ci. On peut même imaginer un système de boite avec des recharges placé à l'intérieur de l'armature, entre le dispositif de déroulage de la laisse et les bras articulés, de façon à extraire les sacs jetables de la réserve par l'espace intérieur libre de l'appareil de la même manière que les lingettes et les mouchoirs jetables sont actuellement extraits de leur contenant. Les sacs sont alors repliés sur eux-mêmes et extractibles soit par une fente, soit par un orifice en étoile.An interesting variant of the invention relates to the possibility of adapting to the frame of the collection device a system allowing the attachment of disposable bags in refills. It can in fact be envisaged to place a ring in the form of a dispenser on the frame 1, and connected to the two sides of the device, so as to place a roll of plastic bags on it. We can even imagine a box system with refills placed inside the frame, between the leash unwinding device and the articulated arms, so as to extract the disposable bags from the reserve through the free interior space from the device in the same way as disposable wipes and handkerchiefs are currently removed from their container. The bags are then folded back on themselves and extractable either by a slit or by a star orifice.
Un dispositif tel que décrit ci-dessus est représenté à la figure 5. Il comporte un boîtier A pourvu d'un orifice central longitudinal pour l'extraction des sacs. Ce boîtier est normalement laissé ouvert mais il peut être refermé par un dispositif d'obturation. Il contient une multitude de sacs disposés repliés. Ceux-ci peuvent être extraits un à un par la fente longitudinale à la manière des mouchoirs jetables. Ce boîtier est assujetti à la poignée de l'enrouleur de laisse par tout mode de solidarisation notamment à l'aide de vis ou par clipsage. Ainsi qu'il est représenté à la figure 5, ce boîtage est disposé dans un évidement de l'enrouleur de laisse. Ce boîtage est assujetti à cet évidement par l'intermédiaire d'un cadre sur lequel est fixé également un dispositif de fermeture qui vient basculer sur l'orifice central. Le dispositif de fermeture peut être à bords lisses ou crantés pour découper plus facilement le sac à extraire.A device as described above is shown in Figure 5. It comprises a housing A provided with a central orifice longitudinal for bag extraction. This case is normally left open but it can be closed by a closure device. It contains a multitude of bags arranged folded. These can be extracted one by one through the longitudinal slot in the manner of disposable tissues. This box is attached to the handle of the leash retractor by any method of attachment, in particular using screws or by clipping. As shown in Figure 5, this housing is disposed in a recess of the leash reel. This casing is subject to this recess by means of a frame on which is also fixed a closure device which comes to tilt on the central orifice. The closing device can be with smooth or notched edges to more easily cut the bag to be extracted.
Un dispositif de ce genre est figuré à la figure 6. Il montre le boîtier pour sacs disposé dans un évidement de la poignée. La boîte de sacs comporte une fente longitudinale 30 permettant l'extraction d'une série de sacs. Ce boîtier est encastré dans la partie plane 24 de la poignée de la laisse. Une variante de ce dispositif, non figurée, consiste à utiliser un boîtage à couvercle dans lequel on enroule les sacs. Une extrémité du premier sac est introduite dans l'orifice d'extraction. Le premier sac peut ainsi être extrait et être déchiré sur le rebord du dispositif d'extraction.One such device is shown in Figure 6. It shows the bag case disposed in a recess in the handle. The bag box has a longitudinal slot 30 allowing the extraction of a series of bags. This box is embedded in the flat part 24 of the handle of the leash. A variant of this device, not shown, consists in using a box with a cover in which the bags are wound. One end of the first bag is introduced into the extraction opening. The first bag can thus be extracted and torn on the edge of the extraction device.
La figure 7 montre la disposition des sacs dans le boîtage. Elle comporte un boîtage 28, de préférence en carton, contenant les sacs en rechange (non figurés), ne fente 26 permettant la sortie des sacs un à un, en 30 la fente de sortie des sacs et en 27, 27' des boutons pour assurer le blocage des recharges de sacs. En 26, on a figuré les pattes de fixation.Figure 7 shows the arrangement of the bags in the case. It includes a casing 28, preferably made of cardboard, containing the spare bags (not shown), no slot 26 allowing the bags to exit one by one, at 30 the bags exit slot and at 27, 27 'buttons for block bag refills. In 26, the fixing lugs have been shown.
La figure 8 montre une partie du distributeur de sacs disposés dans la poignée de la laisse. La figure laisse apparaître les deux bras articulés 3 et 4 permettant le ramassage des déjections. D'autres variantes de l'invention concernent la possibilité d'addition d'un dispositif de verrouillage pour la laisse et pouvant être fixé sur celle ci, sur le dispositif de ramassage, ou au moyen d'un crochet au passant de la ceinture du propriétaire de l'anumal, par exemple. Un tel dispositif, très simple, améliore avantageusement l'invention. Lors du ramassage il est fréquent que le chien tire sur la laisse, ce qui rend périlleux le ramassage ou l'élimination du sac avec les déjections. Il est donc souhaitable de fixer la partie de laisse reliée au chien sur un point fixe, de préférence relié au propriétaire du chien, de manière à libérer le dispositif de ramassage des tractions intempestives. Un dispositif de fixation approprié peut être par exemple une attache rapide, une pince ou tout autre moyen d'assujettissement s'adaptant de façon ferme sur la laisse et disposant d'un élément supplémentaire de liaison de type crochet, mousqueton, fermeture à picots, etc.... destiné à être positionné sur un passant de ceinture, sur une ceinture ou tout autre point qui permet au propriétaire du chien d'être relié à son animal sans avoir à tenir la laisse. Bien évidemment de nombreuses variantes existent pour cette amélioration au fonctionnement du dispositif de ramassage, de telles possibilités font partie de l'invention. Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et elle est représentée à titre d'exemple. Elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons. Figure 8 shows a part of the bag dispenser arranged in the handle of the leash. The figure shows the two articulated arms 3 and 4 allowing the collection of excrement. Other variants of the invention relate to the possibility of adding a locking device for the leash and which can be fixed thereto, on the pick-up device, or to the using a hook on the belt loop of the owner of the anumal, for example. Such a very simple device advantageously improves the invention. When picking up it is common for the dog to pull on the leash, which makes it dangerous to pick up or dispose of the bag with the droppings. It is therefore desirable to fix the part of the leash connected to the dog on a fixed point, preferably connected to the owner of the dog, so as to release the device for picking up unwanted pulls. A suitable fastening device can be, for example, a quick coupler, a clamp or any other securing means that adapts firmly to the leash and has an additional connecting element of the hook, carabiner, stud closure, etc .... intended to be positioned on a belt loop, on a belt or any other point which allows the owner of the dog to be connected to his animal without having to hold the leash. Obviously many variants exist for this improvement in the operation of the collection device, such possibilities are part of the invention. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and it is shown by way of example. It also includes all technical equivalents and their combinations.
