Description

  The present invention relates to a small animal excrement disposal device, and more specifically, a pet dog owner collects solid excrement such as dogs, cats or rabbits and paper scraps falling on roads and parks around houses. The present invention relates to a treatment tool for excrement of small animals to be disposed of.

In recent years, the pet boom in Japan has become a prominent social phenomenon. According to the announcement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the number of dogs and cats raised in 2009 was 22.34 million, greatly exceeding the number of children (under 15 years), 17.14 million. One of the factors behind this pet boom is that humans feel safe and have a healing effect when pets are nearby.

Many pet dogs have the habit of defecation during outdoor walks in the morning and evening. Owners collect dog excrement (hereinafter referred to as solid excrement), take it home, and dispose of it. It is desired as a manner of owner. The vast majority of owners bring their favorite excrement disposal equipment and accompany them for a walk. As a conventional excrement disposal tool, owners have possessed plastic bags, scoops, tissue paper, etc., but these tend to be shunned for reasons such as poor usability and poor appearance. Many alternative excrement disposal devices have been developed, proposed, and marketed.

Many of the excrement disposal devices are portable, and their structures can be roughly divided into two types. The (1) is a receiving type in which the excrement of the domestic dog is taken directly into the processing instrument before it falls to the ground surface. For example, as shown in Patent Document 1 (see page 2, FIG. 2), when a dog taking a walk takes a defecation posture, the receiving part (container) is slid under the dog's buttocks to catch excrement. It is. Further, in Patent Document 2 (see page 1 and FIG. 1), the excrement is received by applying a cylinder with a lid provided at the tip of a connecting tube extending from the handle to the bottom of the dog in the defecation posture. An instrument is disclosed. The (2) is a collection type in which the excrement of a domestic dog or other dog that has fallen on the ground surface is collected in a container. For example, Patent Document 3 (see page 1, FIG. 2) operates an open / close handle, a support handle, and the like to grab excrement on the ground surface and collect it in a vinyl or paper bag. Patent Document 4 (see page 1 and FIG. 1) is centered on a bottomed container-like storage container body having an opening that is inclined obliquely downward at the front, and the upper edge portion of the opening of the storage container body. And a lid that can open and close the opening, a handle that is pivotally attached to the left and right side surfaces of the storage container by a support shaft, and a connecting body that connects the handle and the lid Operate the handle and connecting body to open the storage container body, and put the excrement into the storage container body with shoes etc. (see page 6) It is something to take.

  However, according to the above-mentioned prior art acceptance type patent document 1, when the excrement is taken in, the owner bends to near the ground, carries the container to the bottom of the dog, and waits for the defecation to end in the same posture. It is not suitable for elderly people to use. Patent Document 2 is excellent in usability because the owner does not need to bend to the ground when taking in excrement, but the open / close structure of the cylinder and the lid attached to the tip of the connecting pipe is complicated, and it is broken due to the complexity. It is easy to do and lacks economic efficiency. In addition, the connecting pipe is long, and the design composed of the cylindrical body at the tip of the connecting pipe looks very bad in appearance, and the owner is hesitant to carry and use it every day. The entire apparatus in the collection-type Patent Document 3 has a relatively simple design and good appearance, but is unnatural in appearance because a bag is attached to the grab bucket. In addition, the number of component parts is large, and the open / close structure is complex as in Patent Document 2, and there is a disadvantage that failure is likely due to the complexity. Patent Document 4 has a small number of parts and a simple structure, and the operability of the lid is good. However, since the excrement is taken into the storage container body with shoes or the like (see page 6, see page 6). ), A big hygiene problem.
