Description

 Hygiene article, in particular Urban Cleaning.

 The invention relates to a device allowing the evacuation of all kinds of pollution, of i-purity more particularly, but not exclusively, dog excrement, public roads in the drainage networks reserved for the evacuation of waste. various.

 Currently, there are no suitable techniques for this kind of waste, given the abundance of products used daily by everyone, the amount of waste and various excrement on the sidewalks is constantly increasing. If the problem of roadways has been practically solved by the appearance of sophisticated tachines, it is the same, at present, sidewalks. The task of municipal employees and road workers, in fact, is becoming increasingly difficult by the traditional means at their disposal and which are becoming more and more derisory. This is why it seems necessary that everyone take responsibility for the living environment and therefore does not feel involved in public hygiene In this sense it would be desirable to provide them with a simple, practical, aesthetic, space-saving tool that they could use daily. It is this product that we present.

 Attempts have been made in this area but have found no particular response. Too often, psychological disension was left aside, an essential aspect when it comes to touching the general public 2 reversible plastic bags, brush with shovel and any other object where the shaving off of pollution was planned and not its rapid evacuation.

 The industrial production of these objects was therefore compromised for some and limited for others.

 The invention therefore has two aims t - that of giving people the possibility of quickly evacuating animal excrement (among other things) which are on the sidewalks and then abandoning them in the gutter. This tends, moreover, to empower people with respect to public health.

- in addition to its primary vocation of hygiene, the article also constitutes a material support for conditioning the dog to cleanliness. In fact, by evacuating canine dejection in the gutter, the master can show his dog the precise place (in the gutter) where he had to do his needs. This will be more co-comprehensible and much more effective for the animal than reprimanding it by designating an empty place for it. Because of this, the dog's learning & cleanliness will be faster.

 The article of hygiene, in particular of urban cleaning is presented in two parts t a fixed part (1) and a mobile part (2).

 - the first pgrtiesfise, consists of a main body in which an iechanisie (4) persets the ejection of the second part which is mobile. This body can be produced in several ways t simple time zone, retractable time zones etc ...

 - The second part, mobile, is made up of a biodegradable plate intended to push the waste, in particular dog excrement, in the appropriate place for their evacuation. It is in this nth place that the plate will be left, not reusable.

The shape and design of the article, in particular the process of ejecting the wafer, offers the very important advantage of not being kissed. This therefore allows a gesture as natural as discreet
Add to this the fact that the article may, among other things, designed with a telescopic spindle, which will accentuate the discretion of the object which can then go completely unnoticed.

 As for the removable plate, it offers the psychological advantage of holding a clean object in the hand during the entire operation.

 Other characteristics of the invention will be made more evident during the description which follows, with reference to the appended drawings, which description and drawings are, of course, given mainly by way of indication.

 The article of hygiene, in particular of urban cleaning is presented in two parts i a fixed part (l) and a mobile part (2).

 The first part, fixed, consists of a main body (3) preferably made under the strong of a hollow spindle in which is inserted. a mechanism (4) allowing the ejection of the second part which is mobile.

 This main body (3) is provided in its upper part with a handle (5) to ensure a good grip and easy handling.

It is terminated in its lower part by a flat part (6) which, associated with an articulated part (7) on an axis (8) constitutes a clamp whose vocation is to maintain the mobile part (2).

 This axis (8) consists of a sone of concave shaped thickness on the articulated part (7) and a groove on the flat part (6).

 The articulated part (7) is secured to the flat part (6) by a preformed metallic element (9) which tends to press this articulated part onto the flat part.

 The rotation of this articulated part (7) about the axis (8) is controlled, according to a preferred embodiment, by a cable (10) fixed on the end of the articulated part.

 This cable (10) is then engaged in the hollow part of the main body (3) by means of a small orifice (11) drilled therein in order to conceal it. It is tensioned and directly connected to the internal mechanism (4) to the main body (3) so that it allows the opening and closing of the clamp.

 This uechanisxe (4) as for it is according to an iodine of preferential embodiment constituted by two small pulleys (13), each bridged on an axis, and over which the target (10) passes.

 The target (10) ends its course on a small lever (14) and is fixed there by the same iodine of attachment as for its other end on the noble piece (7) of the clamp.

 This lever (14) is also bridged on a small axis passing right through the main body (3). It is extended outside this main body (3) by a small pull tab (15) which freely loosens in a small slot cut out in the main body (3).

 A simple and weak pull on this pull tab (15) has the effect of moving the cable (10), made easier by the two small pulleys (13), and consequently the opening of the clamp.

 The clamp closes automatically by releasing the pull tab (15) thanks to the preformed metallic element (9) whose pressure force on the two parts (6) and (7) is greater than all the friction resistances of the various members.

 The second part, mobile, consists of a biodegradable plate (2) intended to push the waste, in particular dog excrement, to the appropriate place for their evacuation. It is in this same place that the plate, not reusable, will be left.

Claims (3)

 i) Hygiene article 1 notassent of urban cleaning, in particular dog excrement, characterized in that it is in the general form of a cane (1) consisting of at least two elements, a hollow cane body comprising at one end a grip handle (5) and at the other end a clamp (7) for a disposable plate (2) acting as a rod or pusher, said clamp being open or closed to grasp or release a plate by the intermediary therefore controls remotely, the principle of ease of use of which is carried out nanually by a zipper or a push button (15) disposed in the immediate vicinity of the grip.  2) Article according to claim 1 characterized in that the mechanism for controlling the clamp is partially housed in the hollow rod body.  3) Article according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the disposable plate (2) is made of biodegradable material.
