Definitions

  • the present invention deals with a portable tool which allows owners of domestic dogs to remove from the ground the animal excrement comfortably, by operating in an erect position, and hygienically, avoiding the risk of contact with these wastes.
  • These tools are normally composed of a rod, which is fixed or able to be elongated, which has a handle at an end and various mechanisms at the opposite end (jaws, spoons, etc.) adapted to collect and moved by manually-actuated levers or push-buttons.
  • Suction-type tools - US-A-4478448 , FR-A3-2554841 , DE-A1-4138568 , DE-C1-19616727 , US-A-5661873 , GB-A-2331006 , US-A1-2004194248 , DE-U1-202005009487 , US-A1-2007024070 , FR-A1-2893640 , US-A1-2008030032 , CA-A1-2745363 , WO-A2-2011124969 .
  • These tools which are motored or not, operate according to the principle of common vacuum cleaners. In addition to their portability limits given by their weight, they however require cleaning and disinfecting after their use, since the excrement material comes in contact with the external or internal parts of the tool.
  • the invention proposes a tool, which has features such as comfort and user friendliness (motorization), easy portability (structure adapted to be shortened) and maximum hygiene during use (disposable bags shaped in order to avoid contacts of tools or hands with wastes to be removed).
  • the inventive tool has a series of features and advantages which will result from the following description, given as a non-limiting example, with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which:
  • 1 designates the members of the central structure, which supports on one side the handle 2 and on another side the support 8, which in turn bears the motor 15 with related train of reduction gears, in addition to the cylinders 9, which rotate for a certain predetermined number of degrees with respect to the mechanical interference with the base 19, meshing on the gears 16 moved by the motor 15.
  • the members of the central structure are shown as telescopic tubes, but other arrangements are also possible (for example, connected segments which can be bent), possibly with a different number of members.
  • Such structure contains the metallic springs 7 which allow its extension, in addition to operate as electric poles for supplying the motor 15, and the motor protecting chassis which also supports the contacts of the electric circuit 5.
  • the cylinders 9 are equipped with a pin, which supports the tines 10, which rotate around said pin through the action of torsion springs 17 when they are not kept by the stops 18, in turn hinged onto the cylinders 9 and kept in position by elastic members.
  • Said tines 10 support the bag 11, which is disposable and replaceable and made of plastic or paper, equipped with semi-rigid wings 12 made of cardboard or plastic, and with a closed edge within which a perimeter band 13 slides, which has an external end 14 ( Figure 7 ).
  • Such wings 12 are shaped so that, once having inserted the bag 11 onto the tines 10 in a closed position, the internal wing edge is coincident, while their external edge is integral with the tines themselves, following their movement.
  • the bag 20 without the above wings, equipped with lower edged 21 bent in such a way as to form a pocket, which allows inserting the tines 10 ( Figure 8 ), which are then integral with the bag itself ( Figure 9 ). Also in this configuration, the bag is equipped with a perimeter band 13, which allows its closure and its detachment through a traction of its end 14.
  • the handle 2 contains the supply battery 3, the polarity-reversal switch 4 plus neutral position, the electric circuit 5 equipped with fuse for a compatibility with the current Machine Directive in force for EC homologation, and the locking push-button 6, which keeps the members 1 retracted when the tool is not used.
  • the tines 10 and the wings 12 have, with respect to the front plane, a suitable slanting for generating, together with the internal edge, a ground scrapping effect.
  • the same result is obtained, in case of a bag 20, by scraping the ground with the tines 10 inserted in the side pockets 21 of the bag itself.
  • the tines 10 are shaped so that, in a closed position, the respective internal edges are coincident.
  • the operator can then retract the tool and, by pulling the perimeter band 13 at its ends 14, at the same time makes the bag close, without risks of contact with the waste, and its detachment from the tines 10.
  • the bag configuration is such that the internal side of the edge always covers the lower side of the tines, avoiding the risk of contaminating these latter ones.
  • the operation is then completed with the suitable disposal of the used bag and with its replacement with a new one.
  • Figure 6 shows the members 1 in a retracted position and the tines 10 being bent: with such configuration, the user can easily bring the tool with himself as necessary.
