Description

  This device relates to the excrement of feces excreted by pets such as dogs, cats, etc. Especially, feces excreted by pets on the road surface during walks are reliably taken in without sacrificing hands and collected hygienically, The present invention relates to a disposable pet feces capturing device that can be easily disposed of with feces.

  In order to collect feces excreted by the pet on the road surface, etc., it is necessary to take measures with unpleasantness and filthiness that come into direct contact with feces, such as picking with scissors, scooping with a scoop, etc. However, in view of these points, various instruments have been proposed.

  For example, in the animal faecal container described in Japanese Patent No. 2963099, at least one side of a flexible and somewhat hard resin bag can be opened and closed with a fastener, and a belt-like resin sheet with strong elastic restoring force is pasted on the other side. The opening is opened by hand, and feces are put with a spatula or the like, and then automatically closed by the restoring force of the resin sheet.

  Further, in Japanese Patent No. 3343717, the upper lid is pivotably attached to the rear end of the feces container with the upper end as an opening, and the upper end of the handle with the lower end pivotally attached to the fecal container so that the angle can be freely changed is used as a gripping portion. An operation lever that can be moved relative to the gripping part is attached to the handle, and the dog feces remover that operates the means for tilting the handle backward and the means for opening the upper lid in conjunction with the movement of the operation lever. At the moment when the dog enters the system to excrete feces, the handle is tilted to open the upper lid, and the feces can be accommodated by inserting a fecal container between the rear legs of the dog from the back of the dog I am doing so.

Furthermore, the portable feces remover described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-52265 has an upper and lower pinch piece opened by connecting the ends of the upper and lower pinch pieces with an elastic body so that the pinch piece side is normally open. Put the bottom of the plastic bag inside, keep the edge part folded back and put it in the plastic bag, and then close the upper and lower pinching pieces firmly, and discard the feces alone or with the plastic bag. To do.
Japanese Patent No. 2963099 Japanese Patent No. 3343717 JP 2003-52265 A

  The feces collector of the above-mentioned Japanese Patent No. 2963099 is simple in construction and operation and can be manufactured at low cost, but it cannot be said that it is cheap enough to be disposable, and it is a hard resin, which causes environmental problems. In order to use it repeatedly, the zipper must be opened and the inside and outside of the bag must be cleaned, and pet owners will come in contact with feces during both the intake and disposal of feces. Feces collectors are unsuitable.

  The feces collector of Japanese Patent No. 3343717 is somewhat large and complicated and expensive, but has the advantage that it can be placed at a position where the dog is taken in at the moment of entering the excretion posture. However, when it is necessary to take in the feces excreted on the ground at this moment, the owner is not only required to contact the feces directly, but it is expensive and cannot be disposable. Therefore, the problem remains in that cleaning is indispensable.

  In the feces remover disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-52265, the pinching of feces requires a force for strongly grasping the upper and lower pinching pieces in the normally open state, and the upper and lower pinching pieces are kept closed after the feces are stored. Means must be provided. In addition, since the feces are stored by a pinching operation, the feces are only suitable for use when the feces are in a hard state so that the feces can be pinched securely. However, disposal of plastic bags involves environmental problems even if the body is difficult to get dirty.

  This device was made to solve these problems, and its purpose is to minimize the discomfort of touching pet feces and to ensure that feces are taken into the container and to look directly at the feces. It is an object to provide a feces ingestion device for pets that can be disposed of without being required, can be produced without pollution, can be manufactured at low cost, and is suitable for disposable use.

  In order to solve these problems, a feces ingestion device for pets according to the present invention is a feces having one or more flaps inclined inward or outward from one surface of a box made of a pollution-free flammable material. One end edge of the flap that is provided with an opening for taking in and is spaced inward or outward from the opening surface in an inclined state is between a position that is spaced from the opening surface and a position that substantially coincides with the opening surface And a free end that can open and close the opening, and the edge of the opening facing the free end of the inwardly inclined flap, or one of the edge and the other edge of the flap located on the opening surface, or The free end of the flap which inclines both sides or outwards is used as a leading edge for taking in feces.

  The pet feces ingesting device according to this device is provided with an opening for fecal ingestion from the approximate center of the rectangular box surface to near one side of the box, and the edge on the center side of the main surface is taken in. The other end edge located on the opening surface is integrated with the box main surface near the one side of the box, and the flap is inwardly spaced from the tip edge for fecal uptake at the center side. One edge that is the free end and both side edges from both ends to the other end of the other edge are cut out from the main surface of the box and pushed into the box, and this single flap is cut out. And an opening is formed by pushing.

  The pet feces capturing device according to the present invention has an opening for fecal uptake provided in a rectangular shape on almost the entire surface of the substantially rectangular box main body, and the flaps are parallel to the short side edge of the opening, It consists of a plurality of sheets extending in the opening at approximately equal intervals, and both the short side edge of the opening facing the free end of the flap and the other edge of each flap positioned substantially on the opening surface It is a tip edge for insertion.

  In the pet feces capturing device according to this device, the feces uptake opening is provided from approximately the center of the rectangular box main surface to near one side of the box, and the flap is located on the other side of the opening. The edge is integrated with the main surface of the box at almost the center of the box, and one edge that becomes a free end away from the opening surface near the box and the other of the center from both ends. The two side edges up to both ends of the edge are cut out from the main surface of the box and are inclined to the outside of the box, and an opening is formed by cutting out this flap and outwardly inclined, In the position, the free end of the flap is the leading edge for droppings.

  The pet feces capturing device according to the present invention is provided as a plurality of rectangular windows extending in parallel to each other on the main surface of the box, and the flap has the other edge located on the opening surface of each of the windows as the longitudinal direction of one of the windows. The box main surface is integrated with the box main surface at the direction side edge, and one end edge which is a free end spaced outward from the opening surface and both side edges from both ends to the other end of the other edge. It is provided as a plurality of sheets that are cut out from the box and inclined outward from the box, and the free end of each flap that is inclined outward from the box is a tip edge for taking in feces.

  According to this device, the feces ingestion device for pets is a box shape that can be folded and assembled with a non-pollutable combustible material such as paper, and a box that is created to have a size that can be gripped with one hand, on its main surface, It has an extremely simple and inexpensive configuration in which an opening for taking in feces that can be opened and closed by one or a plurality of flaps that can be inclined inward or outward with one end as a free end. In use, when the box is assembled in a box shape, the flap is tilted to open the opening, the box is covered so that feces excreted on the ground can enter the opening, and the flap is tilted inward One or both of the edge of the opening facing the free end or this edge and the other edge of the flap located on the opening surface, or when the flap is tilted outward, the free end of the flap is for feces uptake As the leading edge of the stool, it can be inserted between the ground and feces and slid along the ground to ensure that the feces are separated from the ground and taken into the box, and then the flap is flattened and the opening closed. Since it is closed by the weight of the feces, the user can collect the feces with a minimum of filth and discomfort without feeling the direct contact with the feces.

  Several embodiments of the pet feces capturing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pet feces capturing device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG.

  In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a pet feces ingestion tool comprising a box 10 having a certain level of toughness such as cardboard and made in a rectangular box shape by a non-pollutable combustible material is The box shape is maintained by inserting the bent tips of the lid portions 11 and 12 at both ends of the lid into the box body. However, if the lid portions 11 and 12 are extended by pulling out the tip ends, both side portions will collapse, It can be folded flat. Therefore, the pet feces capturing device of the present invention is configured such that a large number of folded boxes 10 are stacked as one unit when stored or sold, and one box 10 is taken out and used for the side portion when used. Then, the tips of the lids 11 and 12 are inserted into the box and assembled into a box shape.

  The main surface 13 of the box 10 is provided with an opening 14 for taking in feces on almost the entire surface. Preferably, the main surface 13 continues to one side in the longitudinal direction of the box, on the side of the lid 11 in the figure. A part is left as the closed portion 13a, and the space inside thereof is made to be a housing portion for droppings taken from the opening 14.

  The opening 14 is provided with a plurality of flaps 15 extending along the opening surface at approximately equal intervals in parallel with the short side edges 14a and 14b. These flaps 15 are slanted inwardly of the box 10 with one end edge 15b on the side facing the one end edge 14a of the opening serving as the edge of the closed portion 13a of the main surface 13 being freed. When taking in the box 10, the opening 14 is opened. After taking in, the feces in the box 10 pushes the free end from the inside to close the opening 14, and the feces can swing so as to be held in the box. Provided. The other edge 15a of each of the flaps 15 on the side opposite to the edge 14a of the opening 14 has a side portion 13b along the longitudinal side of the main surface 13 at both longitudinal ends 14c, 14d of the opening 14. It is made integrally with 13c. That is, each of the flaps 15 becomes a free end with the other portions of both ends in the longitudinal direction, leaving short coupling portions 15c and 15d adjacent to both ends of the other end edge 15a located in the plane of the opening 14. It is formed by cutting out one edge 15b along a cut line in the main surface 13 and inclining the one edge 15b side toward the box. At the same time, the opening 14 is opened.

  In order to incline the flap 15 in this way, the flap may be bent in advance to have an inclined ridge, or the user may push the free end side with the fingertip during use. For this reason, in the example shown in the drawing, along the connecting line between the elongated flat portion along the edge 15a and the inclined portion on the free end edge 15b side between the coupling portions 15c and 15d at both longitudinal ends of each flap. For example, a perforation is placed so that the inclined portion can be easily inclined. Alternatively, although not shown, in order not to generate a flat portion along the edge 15a, for example, the other end is determined from the respective end points on the inclined portions of the coupling portions 15c and 15d and the corners on both ends of the free end edge 15b. On the edge 15a, a bend line such as a perforation obliquely intersecting the end edge 15a may be inserted up to a point slightly apart from the other end point of the coupling portion.

  As another means of forming a large number of inclined flaps so that a flat portion along the edge 15a does not occur, as shown in the partial sectional view of FIG. Provided with a length longer than the dimension, and provided with leg portions 15e attached to the inner surfaces of the main surface side portions 13b and 13c of the box 10 on the other end edge 15a side of the long ends, and bent the base of the leg portions 15e Then, the free end edge 15b side is inclined toward the inside of the box, and the respective flaps 15 are successively attached to the inner surface of the main surface side portion at the leg portion 15e. At this time, if the tip of the leg portion 15e touches the inclined surface of the adjacent flap, when the box 10 is assembled from the folded state, each flap 15 naturally rises to the inclined state. In experiments with this configuration of flaps, when the distance between the other edges 15a of adjacent flaps, that is, the width of each opening is about 9 millimeters and the width of each flap 15 is about 10 millimeters, a suitable feces collection Effect was obtained.

  In addition, although the example which sticks the leg part 15e of the flap 15 to the inner surface of the main surface side parts 13b and 13c was shown in FIG. 3, a flap is made into the same dimension as the short side dimension of an opening, and a leg part is the other dimension. If it is provided so as to protrude in the longitudinal direction of the flap from both end portions of the edge 15a, the legs can be attached to the surfaces of the main surface side portions 13b and 13c, and the edge 15a is more easily removed from the main surface 13. It can be protruded by the thickness.

  In order to take in the feces, as described above, the free end edge 15b side of each flap 15 is inclined inward of the box so that the opening 14 is opened, and the opening side is down, that is, the opening is on the ground. Hold the box toward the stool, press the box onto the stool until the edge 15a located on the opening surface of the flap 15 reaches the ground, and then each flap in the longitudinal direction of the box 10 The box 10 is moved in a direction in which the 15 end edges 15a and the opening end edge 14a serving as the edge of the closing portion 13a become the tip. The flap edge 15a and the opening edge 14a present on the opening surface as the leading edge during this movement slide along the ground, and act to separate feces from the ground and take them into the box. It is convenient if this moving direction is indicated by an arrow on the surface of the box 10 opposite to the opening 14.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a pet feces capturing device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The box 20 is formed so that it can be folded and assembled in the same manner as in the first embodiment, but the opening 24 for taking in feces extends from a substantially central portion of the main surface 23 of the box 20 to the side near one end side. The flap 25 is continuous from the free end edge 25b facing the center side edge 24a of the opening 24 to the end edge 25a integrally joined to the main surface 23 near the one short side of the box. It is provided as one piece. Accordingly, the single flap 25 is cut out along the central edge 24a and the longitudinal edges 24c and 24d of the opening, and the free edge 25b is pushed inward so as to be separated from the opening edge 24a. Let Providing a finger hook hole or slit 26 in the center of the flap 25, for example, is convenient when the flap 25 is lifted and the opening 24 is closed after the feces are taken up.

  At the time of taking in feces, cover the box 20 so as to put feces into the opening 24 in the open state, and slide and insert between the ground and feces with the central side edge 24a of the opening as the leading edge, Feces are taken into the main surface closing portion 23a, and the opening 24 is closed by pulling up the flap 25 to accommodate the feces in the box.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a pet feces ingestion device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In the figure, the box 30 is provided so that it can be folded and assembled as in Embodiment 1, but a single flap 35 is provided. Contrary to the second embodiment, one end edge 35b is integrally coupled to the central side edge 34a of the opening 34, and the other end edge 35a near one side of the box on the short side is cut out as a free end. Then, pull the free end side outward from the box and tilt it.

  Therefore, when the feces are taken in, the free end edge 35a is first inserted between the ground and the feces with the free edge 35a as the leading edge, and then the box 30 is moved by sliding the leading edge along the ground, After taking feces into the box, the flap 35 is closed.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a pet feces capturing device according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. The box 40 in this case is provided with a plurality of flaps 45 which are cut out from the main surface 43 and are inclined outwardly as in the case of the flaps 35 of the third embodiment. Therefore, a plurality of combinations of the flaps 45 and the openings 44 that are longer than the flaps 35 and the openings 34 of the third embodiment are continuously provided in parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the box 40 and are separated outward from the opening surfaces.
