[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pet dung catcher.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In many local governments, despite many calls, pet owners do not process pet dung during walking, so dung pollution is still a problem.

Therefore, in recent years, various pet dung catchers have been put on the market in order to reduce the pollution of dung, but their spread has been delayed due to the troublesome handling.

The pet feces catcher commercially available in the past is composed of, for example, a handle and a frame-like body provided at the tip of the handle, and a vinyl bag is attached to the frame-like body. There is a pet feces collector used (hereinafter referred to as a conventional example).

Specifically, in this conventional example, a vinyl bag is inserted into the frame-like body, the opening peripheral edge of the vinyl bag is folded outward, and a rubber band or the like is wound around the folded portion. , Put a plastic bag on the frame,
When using it, for example, when the dog swaddles it, the frame can be directly applied to the pet's butt to drop the feces into the plastic bag and receive it. Remove the plastic bag containing the feces from the frame. By disposing as it is, the owner can process the feces of the pet without soiling the hands.

However, in practice, in this conventional example, the attachment and detachment of the vinyl bag to the frame-like body, specifically the attachment of the rubber band, is troublesome and the handling thereof is very troublesome.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides an epoch-making pet feces catcher capable of easily and favorably treating pet feces.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the feces catcher main body A of the present embodiment is integrally formed of an appropriate synthetic resin member, and has a rod-like grip 1 having a predetermined length, and It is composed of a mounting body 3 which is continuously provided at the tip of the handle 1.

The mounting body 3 is a frame body in which a band-shaped plate having a predetermined width is annularly formed, and the inner hole 2 is formed inside the frame body.

A flange portion 3a is provided on the upper peripheral edge of the mounting body 3 so as to project therefrom.

The collar portion 3a is formed like a scooping portion of a scoop with a predetermined length upwardly curved and inclined from the upper peripheral edge of the mounting body 3, and serves as a bag body 4 disposed in the inner hole 2. The plastic bag is configured such that the peripheral edge of the opening of the plastic bag can be folded back and fitted.

Further, the collar portion 3a is constructed so that the inclination angles of the left and right portions are larger than the inclination angles of the front and rear portions.

A locking portion 3b is provided on the rear portion of the collar portion 3a (on the side where the handle 1 is attached).

As shown in FIG. 1, the locking portion 3b is formed by forming notches (slits) at two positions spaced by a predetermined distance, and the locking portion 3b is folded back to the collar portion 3a. By sandwiching and locking the fitted vinyl bag 4, the vinyl bag 4 can be locked to the mounting body 3.

In this embodiment, the locking portions 3b are provided at two locations on the flange 3a, but they may be provided at two or more locations, or at one location. If the vinyl bag 4 is provided at two places with a predetermined space as in the present embodiment, the vinyl bag 4 can be securely locked at two places with a predetermined space.

Further, the notch serving as the locking portion 3b is
In order to easily sandwich the bag body 4, the width is narrower toward the inner side from the outer peripheral edge of the collar portion 3a toward the inner hole 2 side of the mounting body 3. Although the notch as the locking portion 3b in the present embodiment is configured such that the width becomes narrower toward the inner hole 2 side from the outer peripheral edge of the collar portion 3a, the bag body 4 is satisfactorily sandwiched and engaged. If it can be stopped, it can be appropriately adopted,
For example, a notch having the same width may be formed from the outer peripheral edge of the collar portion 3a to the inner hole 2 side.

In this embodiment, the notch serving as the engaging portion 3b is provided in the rear portion of the collar portion 3a (on the side where the handle 1 is provided), but it may be provided in the front portion instead of the rear portion. It is good, or it may be provided on the left and right parts. Incidentally, as in this embodiment,
When the locking portion 3b is provided in the rear portion, when the grip handle 1 is gripped and the feces 6 are picked up by the collar portion 3a, the collar portion 3a is used.
Scooping at the rear of the pet is extremely rare (generally, the left and right sides of the collar 3a are used), and when using the feces catcher body A directly on the pet's butt, use a handle Since the hand side where 1 is connected is clearly visible, the peripheral edge portion 4a of the vinyl bag 4 fitted on the rear portion of the collar portion 3b is extremely unlikely to be soiled,
Therefore, since the bag body 4 can be removed by grasping this portion that is not easily soiled, it is convenient.

The peripheral edge portion 4a of the vinyl bag 4 (bag body 4) in this embodiment is an opening peripheral edge portion.

Next, a method of attaching the vinyl bag 4 to the pet dung catcher of this embodiment will be described.

The vinyl bag 4 is inserted from the bottom into the inner hole 2 formed in the mounting body 3, and the peripheral edge portion 4a of the vinyl bag 4 is folded outward with respect to the mounting body 3 and the collar portion 3 is formed.
a, and then a part of this vinyl bag 4, that is,
In this embodiment, a part of the vinyl bag 4 located on the base end side of the mounting body 3 is sandwiched by the locking portion 3b and locked, whereby the vinyl bag 4 is mounted on the mounting body 3.

After use, the peripheral edge of the opening of the vinyl bag 4 sandwiched between the locking portions 3b is pulled upward to pull the locking portions 3b.
The vinyl bag 4 is removed from the mounting body 3 by removing it from b.

In this embodiment, one plastic bag 4 as the bag body 4 is fitted and locked to the collar portion 3a, but the invention is not limited to this, and two or more vinyl bags are used. They may be overlapped and fitted onto the mounting body 3. That is, the first vinyl bag 4 is fitted on the collar portion 3a and is sandwiched and locked by the locking portion 3b, and the second vinyl sheet is inserted into the sandwiched and locked first vinyl bag 4. The bag is the locking portion 3b
It is folded back to the collar part 3a without being locked to the back and is fitted. After use, only the vinyl bag placed inside is removed from the mounting body 3 and discarded, and when it is used again, the first vinyl bag is used. You may make it arrange | position another vinyl bag again in 4. In this case, the vinyl bag 4 (outer vinyl bag) is firmly locked by being sandwiched between the locking portions 3b.
Since another vinyl bag is disposed inside, the inner vinyl bag is received by the outer vinyl bag 4, so that the inner vinyl bag does not have to be locked by being sandwiched by the locking portion 3b. Workability is improved. The second plastic bag (inside the plastic bag) may also be configured such that a part of the plastic bag 4 is locked by the locking portion 3b, like the first plastic bag 4.

Since this embodiment is constructed as described above, the troublesome work of attaching / detaching the vinyl bag 4 is eliminated.
This is an epoch-making pet feces catcher in which the vinyl bag 4 can be attached and detached very easily.

That is, the number of components can be reduced as compared with the conventional structure in which a rubber band or the like is separately provided for the mounting body 3, that is, the vinyl bag 4 fitted on the collar portion 3a is Two locking portions 3b provided at the base end of the collar portion 3a
The vinyl bag 4 can be locked to the mounting body 3 by being sandwiched and locked to the mounting body 3, and thus the vinyl bag 4 can be locked to the mounting body 3 extremely easily and at low cost.

Further, since the upper surface of the collar portion 3a is set to a slanting edge which is slanted upward toward the outer peripheral edge, if the pet feces 6 are not directly received in the bag body 4 and fall onto the ground. Even if it happens, the collar portion 3a, which is an inclined edge that inclines upward toward the outer peripheral edge, can be tilted slightly by operating the handle 1 to make the inclined edge parallel to the ground, and along the ground as it is. The pet feces 6 can be easily collected in the vinyl bag 4 simply by scooping and scooping. That is, as described above, since the collar portion 3a is formed in the scoop shape, the feces 6 on the ground can be easily scooped and collected like scooping the soil with the scoop.

In particular, scooping can be carried out more easily at the left and right base end sides of the mounting body 3 in which the width of the collar portion 3a is set large.

Further, when the feces collector body A is directly applied to the pet's buttocks, the upwardly curved and slanted collar portion 3a fits well to the pet's buttocks, and the feces 6 are more surely dropped into the vinyl bag 4. In addition to allowing it to be inserted, it can be used favorably without giving a feeling of strangeness to pets.

Further, in the case of the conventional feces collector, when feces enter the vinyl bag 4 which is attached by winding a rubber band or the like and the weight increases, the winding locking force of the rubber band or the like is exerted on the vinyl bag 4. There was a concern that the vinyl bag 4 would not be able to bear the weight and fall, whereas the feces catcher main body A of the present embodiment is made of synthetic resin and thus becomes the locking portion 3b. When a part of the vinyl bag 4 is inserted into the notch, the elastic action of the synthetic resin ensures that the vinyl bag 4 is firmly sandwiched in the notch and firmly locked, and that the feces 6 are contained in the vinyl bag 4. When it falls and enters, the weight of the plastic bag 4 pulls it downward, and the plastic bag 4 is pulled further downward to cut into the cut portion, so that the plastic bag 4 is more firmly fixed from the mounting body 3. Locked in Less likely to take Te.

Further, when using the pet dung catcher of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, since the dung 6 is put on the pet's butt so that it directly enters the vinyl bag 4, it can be used day or night. It can be used, and the feces 6 can be reliably collected even in a dark night. Moreover, since the mounting body 3 is used by directly applying it to the pet's butt, it can be used favorably without being affected by the weather.

Thus, the feces 6 of the pet can be collected before they fall to the ground, so that the feces 6 of the pet can be collected well and easily without having to grip the hand or take a walk with a scoop and a plastic bag in both hands. be able to.

After use, the feces 6 collected by simply pulling up the peripheral edge of the opening of the vinyl bag 4 sandwiched between the locking portions 3b and removing the vinyl bag 4 from the locking portions 3b can collect the feces 6 in the vinyl bag 4. Can be disposed of.

That is, according to the pet dung catcher of this embodiment, the pet can use the pet dung 6 with a clean feeling, without choosing the place and time for dropping the dung 6 and keeping the hands clean.

Further, in this embodiment, as the bag body 4 for collecting the feces 6 of the pet, a plastic bag 4 such as a shopping bag which is put out at home.
Since this is adopted, the pet dung catcher of this embodiment can be used at low cost.

Further, FIG. 3 shows the feces collector body A of this embodiment.
It shows the situation where is used for male dogs,
In the case of female dogs, compared to male dogs, there is a habit of dropping feces with the hips lowered further, and depending on the dog, some female dogs have their hips lowered to the ground-sliding position to poop. In such a situation, since the feces catcher main body A of the present embodiment has a small thickness, the feces catcher main body A can be properly picked up when placed on the ground. At this time, even if the feces catcher main body A of the present embodiment is placed on the ground and used, the mounting body 3 having the lower edge peripheral portion grounded is formed in a frame shape having a predetermined height. A space of a predetermined size is secured in the attachment body 3, and thus feces can be favorably placed in the vinyl bag 4 arranged in this space.

Further, in the case of a female dog, the posture when pooping is similar to the posture when excreting urine, but there is a slight difference in the postures when pooping and urinating. On the other hand, the owner can immediately discriminate whether to urinate or urinate, and when the feces are swept, the feces catcher A can be quickly applied to the buttocks to properly put the feces in the plastic bag.
