Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a practicable implement capable of easily and hygienically retrieving and disposing of dog dung during its walking or the like, with toilet paper as the sole expendable so as to be economically usable including running cost. <P>SOLUTION: The implement has such a structure as to use a link mechanism so as to be simple to set toilet paper and enable the toilet paper to be used quickly as necessary and intended for hygienic operation so as not to effect possible contact of dung except the toilet paper. In this implement, the function of the link mechanism is to move to a proper position a mobile part that holds the tip of the toilet paper and moves to the opening/closing operation of its openable surface, wherein the mobile part is provided with the function of pressing the toilet paper so as to be readily cut. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to a device for easily collecting feces of pets such as dogs using toilet paper.

When pet dogs have to collect their dog excrement outdoors, such as on walks, they can receive it directly before it falls to the ground, using paper, bags, special equipment, etc. It collects fallen dung and collects it.

In order to easily collect feces, devices that are easy and economical if toilet paper is used have already been proposed, but devices that use toilet paper functionally are available on the market. I can't find it.

Dogs left in public places such as roads and parks are unsanitary and unpleasant to people. There are many local governments calling for this. For this reason, many pet dogs are collected using paper, bags, and special equipment, but it seems that many dog dogs feel annoyed. In addition, since it seems to be the same for the cleaning after the collection, there is the actual situation that the dung is left as it is regardless of the appeal of the local government.

An object of the present invention is to provide a practical fecal collection device in order to solve the troublesome series of operations for collecting feces and the actual situation in which feces are left unattended due to the troublesomeness.

The equipment to solve the problem is essential as a condition that it is easy, hygienic, and hygienically easy to carry out a series of operations from collection of feces to disposal. is there.

This device is easy and easy to work with, so it is easy to put on toilet paper, it can be used quickly when needed, and it is hygienic to avoid contact with feces other than toilet paper. A structure using a link mechanism is provided to enable work.
In addition, it is easy to dispose of feces, and by adopting a mechanism that makes it easy to cut toilet paper, it solves a series of annoyances that deal with feces.

Furthermore, it has a simple structure, does not require power, and is consumable because it is economical because only consumables are commercially available toilet paper.

If you use commercially available toilet paper to collect and dispose of feces, it is more convenient than using paper similar to tissue paper that is difficult to dissolve in water, as it can be flushed into a flush toilet. However, since no specific method has been found for how to use toilet paper and how to use it functionally, there is no device on the market that can collect feces using toilet paper. It seems to be. The present invention has an advantageous effect in the context of the background art that a mechanism that can functionally use toilet paper is provided.

When it is desired to use it, a structure using a link mechanism is used in order to immediately receive feces with toilet paper.

A structure that allows sanitary work without touching feces as much as possible to anything other than toilet paper.

The collected feces can be easily disposed of after collection, and the toilet paper has a structure that can easily cut off the used portion that is to be discarded.

An embodiment will be described based on a prototyped device, and this device looks like a plastic rectangular parallelepiped as shown in FIG. It is composed of an instrument main body (1) and its upper lid (2), and the dimensions are such that the toilet paper (3) can be accommodated. The surface opposite to the handle (4) of the main body has a structure having an opening / closing surface (5) that can be opened about 90 degrees outward with the bottom surface of the main body as an axis as shown in FIG.

The upper lid can be removed from the main body, but the opening / closing surface can be opened and closed even when the upper lid is still covered by lifting the portion hooked on the opening / closing surface by operating the lever (6).
An arm (7) for passing toilet paper is attached near the end of the opening / closing surface.

Toilet paper is set on the main body using the winding core (8) so that it is normally used in the toilet. On the contrary, it is set in the direction of unwinding from the lower side in the direction of the opening and closing surface. A movable part link mechanism (9) is provided between the opening / closing surface and the main body, and the movable part (10) moving downward / upward as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with the opening / closing of the opening / closing surface. Make up. As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, the movable part uses a holding iron plate (11) and a plate (13) with a rubber magnet (12) attached thereto, and toilet paper is placed between them. Provide a function that the tip (14) can hold. In addition, the rubber magnet is affixed to the opposite surface of the plate to which the rubber magnet is affixed in order to cut the toilet paper.

Normally, as shown in FIG. 3, the arm is passed through the tip of the toilet paper and then held on the movable part, and is covered with an upper lid. When using, by opening the opening / closing surface and lowering the movable part, toilet paper is drawn out and spreads in a tray shape on the opening / closing surface as shown in FIG. 5, so that feces are directly received there. After receiving, when the open / close surface is closed, the movable part returns to the original position, but since the drawn toilet paper is not rewound, there is a margin in the length as shown in FIG. The feces are collected in the form of being wrapped in toilet paper.

When disposing of the collected feces, open the open / close surface again, lower the movable part down, and discard it in a flush toilet. When the opening / closing surface is opened, a paper cutting iron plate (15) also rises on the bottom surface of the main body at the same time. When disposing of the part of the used toilet paper that you want to throw away, open the movable part as shown in Fig. 8, and pull the toilet paper that has been pulled out with the opposite side magnet and the iron plate for cutting paper. Because it can be pressed, cut it out and throw it away.

The embodiment has been described based on the actually prototyped device. For this reason, only the basic structure is described in the range where the trial production was possible, but in principle it is possible to add an arm link mechanism (16) for the arm and move the arm. If it does so, the arm part which lets paper pass like FIG. 10 can be arrange | positioned under a movable part, and it becomes easy to hold | maintain the front-end | tip of toilet paper initially. When the opening / closing surface is further opened, as shown in FIG. 12, the arm projects forward from the front end of the opening / closing surface, and a larger area for receiving feces can be secured. Also, rubber magnets were used for the holding part to hold the iron holding plate and paper cutting board. However, if you use a snap action instead of a magnet, the entire plastic can be used without using any iron material. It is also possible to manufacture with a single material.

Claims (2)

When the opening / closing surface is opened, the movable part that holds the tip of the toilet paper pulls out the toilet paper through the arm and moves to a position where it spreads like a saucer. The basic structure of a portable dog dung collection device that has a link mechanism that can be collected by closing the open / close surface and that can be easily disposed of. The basic structure of the movable part that has two functions: the function of holding the tip of the toilet paper and moving, and the function of holding the drawn toilet paper and making it easier to cut.
