Description

  The present invention relates to a device for collecting and processing filth, and more particularly to a device for collecting feces excreted on the road by a dog when walking.

  Various devices have already been proposed for collecting dog excrement generated during a walk. In these instruments, how to avoid the dirt that adheres during the collection operation is also an important issue. However, in many of the conventional projects, as a means for solving this problem, the entire apparatus is covered with a plastic bag or the like in advance (Patent Document 1), or in addition to this, a clip is provided as a means for holding the plastic bag (Patent Document) Only 2) was taken.

JP 2003-38058 A JP 2001-352854 A

  However, in a device having a configuration in which the tip is opened and closed as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, excrement becomes very difficult to capture and the workability is greatly reduced if the opening and closing part is covered with a single plastic bag. Also, in order to use a bag with a size larger than the equipment in many cases, the excess part of the bag hangs down during work and comes into contact with excrement, and when you try to remove the bag There was a risk of touching the area accidentally and soiling the hands.

  The present invention has been made to solve the problems of such a conventional filth collection tool, and its purpose is to provide a filth collection tool that can be quickly and easily operated without soiling the tools and hands. There is.

In the waste collection tool having a biasing means for urgingly opening and closing the pair of arms in the opening direction while connecting the base ends of the pair of arms having a working portion at the distal end thereof in an openable and closable manner, each of the pair of arms, A sachet body that is detachably attached to the working unit, provided with a holding means for holding the state where the sachet body is attached to the working unit, and attached to the pusher member so as to be slidable along the longitudinal direction of the arm; A major feature is that when the push-out member swings to the tip side, the pouch attached to the working part is pushed out and removed.

  That is, the waste collection tool of the present invention performs a waste collection operation by attaching a small bag body to each of the working parts provided at the ends of a pair of openable and closable arms, and swings the pushing member forward after the work. The pouch body that has been attached is pushed out and removed. During the collection operation, the tip working part of the arm is firmly protected by the small bag body, and even if the excrement is grasped or scooped up, it will not become dirty.

  Preferably, a storage space along the longitudinal direction is provided inside the arm, and the pushing member is stored in the arm so as to be freely slidable.

  By doing so, the support member for supporting the extrusion member can be omitted, and the structure becomes simple and the bulk is eliminated, so that there is an advantage that it is easy to carry and store.

  For the sake of convenience, here, the side having the working portion of the arm will be described as the front end or front, and the other end side will be described as the base end side or the rear portion. In addition, the working part is defined here as a part that actually performs the work of grabbing or scavenging excrement.

  According to the present invention, since the working portions of the pair of arms that are opened and closed are individually covered with the sachets, it is easy to pinch the filth, and the collecting operation can be performed quickly and easily. Moreover, since the dirty sachet is pushed out by the pushing member, the instrument and the hand are not soiled.

It is a perspective view which shows the state which the waste collection tool concerning 3rd Example of this invention opened. It is a principal part enlarged plan view of the filth collection tool concerning the 3rd example of the present invention. It is the BB sectional view taken on the line of FIG.

  Hereinafter, although the Example of the filth collection tool concerning this invention is described based on figures, it is not limited to this.

  FIG. 3 which is not FIG. 1 shows Embodiment 1 of the waste collection tool according to the present invention. In the figure, the filth collecting tool is composed of a pair of arms 1 and 1, a shaft 2, a leaf spring 3, push-out members 4 and 4, sliders 5 and 5, and small bag bodies 6 and 6.

  Of these, the arm 1 is made of a thin metal plate such as aluminum or iron, and a central body portion of the back plate 11 is gently curved inward along the longitudinal direction, and both end edges of the back plate 11 face inward. Each of the side plates 12 and 12 stands upright and the abdominal plates 13 and 13 that extend from the end edges of the side plates 12 and 12 toward each other and come into contact with each other. A storage space is formed. The abutting edge is cut open at the rear part of the abdominal plates 13 and 13 to form a peristaltic groove 14, and two stopper convex ridges 11 a and 11 a extending in the width direction are formed behind the rear surface of the back plate 11. .

  Next, at the rear part of the arm 1, the side plates 12 and 12 are extended as they are to form support plates 15 and 15. Shaft holes 15a and 15a are formed in substantially the center portions of the support plates 15 and 15, respectively. . Here, the support plates 15 and 15 on the other arm 1 side facing each other are overlapped, and are supported by a shaft 2 that is inserted through both shaft holes 15a and 15a so as to be openable and closable. The U-shaped plate spring 3 is always urged in the opening direction.

  Further, a working portion 1a composed only of the back plate 11 is formed at the tip of the arm 1, and a part of the center of the tip 1a is cut and raised and bent forward into a substantially L-shape to form a small bag body. A clip 81 serving as a holding means 8 for holding 6 in a mounted state is formed. The clip 81 is for holding the pouch body 6 so as not to come off by holding the pouch body 6 by an elastic restoring force. Here, the holding force is obtained by the elastic restoring force. However, for example, a spring member may be separately attached.

  The extruding member 4 is made of a synthetic resin material, and the body portion 41 is formed in a long thick plate shape having an appropriate thickness and width that can be swung back and forth in the storage space of the arm 1 without rattling. The insertion part 42 at the front end inserted into 6 is formed in a thin strip shape so as to be easily inserted and removed. Further, on the inner surface of the rear portion of the pushing member 4, a protrusion 4 a that can be slidably fitted into a peristaltic groove 14 formed in the abdominal plate 13 or 13 of the arm 1 is provided.

  The slider 5 is for guiding the pushing member 4 forward to push out the sachet body 6 and has a substantially rectangular tube shape in sectional view made of a synthetic resin material. Fits freely. A fitting hole 5a is provided on the inner surface, and the protrusion 4a on the pushing member 4 side is fitted into the fitting hole 5a so that both can move together.

  The pouch body 6 is for preventing dirt from adhering during excrement collection work by being attached to the working part 1a of the arm 1, and has a rectangular bag shape with an opening 69 on one side. . This may be made of a thin film synthetic resin material such as vinyl or polyethylene, but it is preferably made of water-resistant paper in consideration of environmental sanitation such as incineration. It is more desirable if the material is recycled paper. Keep the paper quality slightly thick and firm, and widen the marginal margin area to collect excrement using the margin area and wipe off the dirt on the road for easy cleaning. You can also Further, the opening edge does not need to be at the same position on the front and back, and for example, the opening edge of the working portion 1a may be easily inserted depending on whether the height is shifted or the angle is changed.

  Next, the usage method will be described.

  This filth collecting tool is carried to pinch and collect the excrement generated when taking a walk with a dog, and it is carried in a small bag in advance in each of the working parts 1a and 1a of the arms 1 and 1 as preparation before going out. The body 6 or 6 is attached and put into a bag or the like in a state where it is prevented from being removed by the clip 81. What is accompanied is a large storage bag that can store the collected excreta, such as a shopping bag or a paper bag. Furthermore, another set of sachets 6 and 6 may be prepared as a spare.

  When the dog defecates during a walk, the filth collecting tool and the storage bag are taken out of the bag, and are first placed close together with the opening of the storage bag open. Next, the waste collection tool is used to quickly pinch the excrement left on the road while opening and closing the arms 1 and 1 and put it in the accommodation bag. At this time, since the working parts 1a and 1a of the arms 1 and 1 are individually covered by the small bag bodies 6 and 6, opening and closing operations are easier than when the entire apparatus is covered with a single plastic bag. Also, pinching can be ensured. Moreover, since it is not necessary to care about excrement adhering, it can work efficiently.

  When the collection operation is finished, the slider 5 is operated above the opening of the containing bag to push out the sachet 6 contaminated with feces and drop it into the containing bag. At this time, if the arms 1 and 1 are closed or in a parallel state, both the sliders 5 and 5 can be grasped and slid at a time, which is efficient. When the sliders 5 and 5 are pushed back, they come into contact with stopper ridges 11a and 11a formed on the back plate 11 of the arm 1 to stop at predetermined positions.

  After the work is finished, close the opening of the storage bag or twist it to block the odor before putting it in the bag and continuing the walk. Dispose of the waste bag containing the waste in a trash container at home.

  By the way, when selling this filth collection tool as a product, the first sales form is a combination of the collection tool body and tens of sachets, and separately tens of sachets set products It is desirable and reasonable to sell continuously as a supplement.

  4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In addition, in order to avoid complexity, the parts common to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

  In this example, the body of arms 1 and 1 of the waste collecting tool has a narrow and thick rectangular bar shape, and only the working portion 1b at the tip is formed in a wide plate shape.

  The sliders 51b and 52b that are slidably fitted to the arms 1 and 1 are cut out in the longitudinal direction at the center of the lower surface, and the projections 4b that protrude from the pushing member 4 are fitted to both ends of the sliders 51b and 52b. Notches 5b and 5b are provided, and the rear end extends to serve as a grip.

  Further, the sliders 51b and 52b have a pair of engaging walls 92 and 92 each having an engaging hole 91 on the 51b side as a locking means 9 for keeping the arms 1 and 1 closed and for easy storage. There are provided engaging claws 93 and 93 and release buttons 94 and 94 projecting outward from the arm portions of the engaging claws 93 and 93 at positions corresponding to this on the 52b side.

  When the arms 1 and 1 are in the closed state, the engagement holes 91 and the engagement claws 93 are located slightly apart as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. (When it is in the state of being left) In order to engage and lock it, it is only necessary to press both sliders 51b and 52b in the approaching state in the closed position. As a result, the engaging claw 93 and the engaging wall 92 are initially brought into contact with each other, and further pressed down to elastically deform both of them, so that the engaging claw 93 gets over the engaging wall 92 and engages with the engaging hole 91, and locks. It becomes a state.

  When the filth collecting tool is locked by the above operation, it is easy to handle without being bulky even when stored in a bag or the like.

  In addition, the sliders 51b and 52b can be pushed out in the locked state, and in this case, only one of the sliders needs to be operated.

  To release the locked state, it is only necessary to push in the release buttons 94 and 94 provided on the slider 52b side inward. As a result, the arm portions of the engaging claws 93 and 93 are also pushed inward, and the arm portions are elastically deformed so that the engaging claws 93 are disengaged from the engaging holes 91 and the arms 1 and 1 bent inward are restored. Returning to the state, the sliders 51b and 52b are separated, and the locked state is released.

  In addition, although the combination of the engaging claw and the engaging hole is used here as the lock unit 9, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, a combination of the engaging claws may be used.

  6 to 8 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In the filth collection tool shown in Examples 1 and 2, the opposing work surfaces are formed in parallel, and the purpose is mainly to pinch excrement, whereas the filth collection tool of this example scoops up the excrement. It is intended to be processed. Hereinafter, although it demonstrates based on a figure, the code | symbol makes the common part the same thing like Example 2. FIG.

  As shown in the end view of FIG. 8, the working parts 1c and 1c of the arms 1 and 1 are formed in an inverted C shape in which the waste collection tool of the present embodiment expands upward in a front view. Furthermore, it is formed in the reverse hemispherical shape where the outside bends upward from the center in the width direction along the longitudinal direction.

  This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. A slit 12c is provided along the linear direction in the bending line at the center in the width direction of the working part 1c, and the tip of the working part 1c is divided to form an insertion part The bottom wall 13c and the inclined wall 14c are formed. Further, locking protrusions 82c and 82c are provided on both side edges of the slit 12c as a holding means 8 so as to be opposed to a plurality of positions.

  The small bag body 6c is a bag body having an opening 69 on the upper side by folding a horizontally long rectangle at the center to form a side edge, and pasting the opposite side edge and bottom edge that are overlapped, Further, two sub-accommodating portions that divide the accommodating portion of the small bag body 6c by affixing an inner partition 61c corresponding to the length of the slit 12c from the substantially center of the bottom edge toward the opening 69 inside thereof. 62c and 63c are formed.

  In order to attach this small bag body 6c to the working part 1c, first, the corresponding arm 1 side insertion part, here, the bottom wall 13c is inserted into one of the sub-accommodating parts, for example, 61c. The side wall 14c is inserted into the other side, that is, 63c after being bent at a portion. Since the portion of the inner partition 61c is adhered, the small bag body 6c is mounted in close contact with the working portion 1c that bends in a reverse shape without forming a gap even if it is folded at the center of the bag. Protect.

  The locking projections 82c and 82c that are provided on both side edges of the slit 12c have a role of holding the inner partition 61c from both sides so that it does not come off when the small bag body 6c is attached.

  The tip edges of the bottom wall 13c and the side wall 14c of the working part 1c do not have to be flush with each other, and if the insertion start position is shifted by changing the protruding length of one of the working parts 1c, the insertion into the pouch 6c is easier. Become. On the other hand, when the position of the opening edge on the side of the small bag body 6c is shifted by the sub-accommodating portions 62c and 63c, the insertion operation is similarly simplified.

  Here, the holding means for holding the pouch body is sandwiched between the protrusions provided on the working part side, but the invention is not limited to this, and the holding means may be provided on the pouch body side. For example, an elastic restoring force in a closing direction is given to the opening edge to form a holding means.

  The filth collection tool of this embodiment is suitable for use not only for solid large excrement, but also for small excrement and soft excrement since it has a form suitable for scooping.
