Pet waste collection device

The invention relates to a pet waste collection device with which waste can be collected and transported from places where it must not be left.

The waste collection device comprises a bag part made of paper or similar compostable material, as well as plate-like dustpan part made of cardboard or similar rigid compostable material and a scraper part for collecting and transferring waste to the bag.

Traditionally, the waste 10 of pets, such as dogs, cats or the like, has been collected from places where it is not allowed to be left, by hand or with various tools, and the collected waste has been transported away among other rubbish to a landfill. For the collection of waste, there are also protective gloves that allow the waste to be collected in a bag for transport. A solution is also known in which a plastic bag is turned upside down to protect the hand and a piece of cardboard or the like inside the bag is removed from the ground and the bag is turned on top of the piece for transport. However, such a plastic bag is not compostable, and for aesthetic reasons, not all people can handle waste with this method. In addition, there are known methods, such as U.S. Patents 3,978,540 and 3,739,418, as well as 20 Danish patents 143091, which should collect the waste upwards in the bag, but the collection of loose and very loose waste is very difficult and even impossible with these methods, and these methods cannot operate in a horizontal, parallel position as the hand comes under and in contact with the dump site and the dumps.

The pet waste collection device according to the invention aims at an ecological, compostable and hygienic solution for the user. The waste can be collected by hand with the collection device according to the invention without touching the waste and the waste can be easily transported when placed in a bag.

Thanks to the flat finger structure of the large edge of the scraper section, even very loose debris can be collected from a smooth surface. Thanks to the same finger structure, waste can also be collected accurately from the grass. The waste collection device according to the invention aims at an ecological, compostable 5 and hygienic solution for the user. Loose and loose waste can be collected by hand with a collection device according to the invention without touching the waste and the waste can be placed in a bag and easily transported to a composting or collection point. The collection device according to the invention is small, thin and foldable to a size suitable for a pocket or bag and, when used, is suitable for both left- and right-handed people. It is clear to a person skilled in the art that within the scope of the inventive idea, the shape and size of the collecting device can be varied, and the mouth of the bag part can be shaped so that the scraper and dustpan parts fold inside the bag part as well as possible. Of course, the thickness and stiffness of the materials used can also vary depending on the size of the bag and the intended use.

The invention is described in more detail below with the aid of the accompanying drawings:

The collecting device according to the invention comprises a bag part 4 and a plate-like dustbin part 2 and a scraper part 3 for transferring the waste to be collected into the bag. The dustpan part 2 and the scraper part 3 are attached from their central part 8 to the mouth 9 of the bag 4 on opposite sides by gluing or the like.

The large edge 11 of the dustpan part 2 is straight and the side handle 10 has a shaped edge or finger perforation 14 for easy gripping. The scraper part 3 is narrower than the dustpan part 2 and has V-shaped notches in its large edge 12. The bag part 4 has a special side fold 13.

When the pet caregiver walks the dog, cat or similar animal 10, the waste collection device can be carried in a pocket or bag folded (Figure 2). When the debris reaches the place where it has to be removed, take the unused collection device and straighten it (Fig. 1) and place it next to the debris 1 below the dustpan part 2 and pull upwards from the scraper part 3, opening the mouth of the bag 4 and scraping the waste part 1 to part 2 and over to bag 4. If the waste is in several places, the collection device can be moved to the next waste location and hands are not stained when collecting new waste, and only when the entire collection is completed turn the collection device to the vertical position (Fig. 5) and dustpan 2 and scraper part 3 pulled 20 in opposite directions (Figure 6). In this case, the side parts 5 of the mouth circuit of the bag 4 are folded in the middle. When the bag is closed, the dustpan part 2 and the scraper part 3 are turned inside the bag 4 (Fig. 7) and at the same time the stained edges 11 and 12 of the dustpan part 2 and the scraper part 3 press the folded side parts 5 inside the bag, forming a partial odor trap and get inside the bag for protection for transport. The dustpan part 2 and the scraper part 3 are pressed together (Fig. 8) and the locking flap 6 in the carrier opening of the dustpan part is turned and pressed into the shaped carrier opening 7 of the scraper part, the mouth of the bag is locked and the collection device is ready to be moved

The collecting device according to the invention is used in a position parallel to the base, whereby it is possible to scrape loose and very loose debris into and over the bag 4 and since the handle 10 of the debris part 2 is on the side, the debris 1 never passes over the hand and the hand does not come into contact with the landfill.

The materials used in the manufacture of the collection device may be secondary raw materials and are suitable for composting, including glue.
