Abstract

The invention relates to a device for collecting animal excrement, which permits the excrement to be intercepted before it reaches the floor. The device can be rapidly attached to and removed from the animal by a simple fixation to the tail. Once the device is attached, the tail of the animal is pushed into the upper defecation position, which accelerates the latter.

Description

E ^ otsuffsirigvomchturigj for animal © Beschreifeyπg

The presented device represents a Kotauffangvorrichtubg for animals.

It is suitable for all types of animals, especially for dogs.

The pollution of public and private places by dog feces is a problem dar.Es various devices are known with which the deposited feces can be removed. This works differently depending on the situation, e.g. It is difficult to completely remove dog excrement from a meadow, knowing that the transmission of abortive bacteria by

Dog feces on cows has become known. Therefore, it would be ideal to let the dog droppings do not even arrive on the ground.

It is important that at the moment of feces paragraph, the fecal collection device is located in such a position between the anal area of the animal and his tail that the exiting feces is collected.

A preferred variant is a rigid structure SG for Kotauffangen, such as. a box or a rigid bag retaining ring. This rigid structure is based on the one hand in the area of the anus of the animal and on the other hand it presses against the tail of the animal, whereby the rod is pushed upwards, a position which also occupies the rod in feces paragraph. (Support and pressure position) Äfob.1

This Vaπante is particularly suitable for the short-term attachment before the expected fiat paragraph.

Often, however, it is precisely by this position of the rod for quick feces paragraph, which otherwise would otherwise have been sold within an hour.

By pinching the rigid structure between the back of the animal and the rod this holds the desired position with the rod pushed upwards.

Even in the event that the device is temporarily moved away from the anus by extremely high raising of the tail by the animal or lateral shaking, it is ensured that at the latest when the tail is held in the middle again, which is also the case at the moment of feces paragraph, the manure catcher again takes the correct position and the droppings catch.

For the attachment of the rigid structure SG in the position between the anus area of the animal and tail, there are a variety of possibilities.

For example, Cord around the body of the animal or attachment to tail and body or collar H, e.g. with laces S and brackets K Fig. 4

Or rings, braces, cordre, binders, clamps Velcro cuffs,

Clamps around the tail or on the body etc.

Ideal appears the execution in which the entire device is attached only to the rod. This allows a quick attachment and detachment of the device, since the rod is held up with one hand, while the other hand is easy to attach the device.

The attachment to the tail approach basically has the advantage that it is easy to put on, as the dog usually does not hold still during long landing actions. Very well it is a rigid structure Σ.B a solid box or a rigid ring with hinged bag just before the Σu expecting feces paragraph is attached to the rod so that it is behind (opening to the anus) or under the anus ( Opening up) is placed in position, and that the rod is pressed immediately when mounting in the upper Kotabsatzpostion. Äofofo 2.

Thus, pivoting the Kotauffaßgefäßβs would not be necessary.

This rod keeping is already permanently the case with some breeds.

It is important that these fasteners on the rod form a rigid unit with the rest of Kotauffangvorrichtung, which is then supported on the rear side of the animal. Only then does it come to the desired tension, which presses the rod in the upper "Kotabsatzposition" already when creating the device. Fig. S The fasteners on the rod are therefore rigidly connected e.g. with a solid box where the feces are collected, or e.g. from a rigid ring in which a bag can be interchangeable suspended.

When feces paragraph, the animal takes an extremely squatting position. Therefore, it is also possible that the rigid structure SG is not clamped so much between the rear of the animal and the tail at that moment as when the animal is normal, but at least the Kotauffangvorrichtung occupies a position such that the exiting feces fall safely into the Kotauffangvorrichiung , Fig. 5

As fastening elements B on the rod, all known variants are possible, e.g.

Rings, clamps, clips, re-releasable padded cable ties, cord re

Velcro straps, etc.

There are many possibilities for attachment to the stud attachment.

A device which surrounds the rod like a more or less wide ring R at the rod approach appears to be advantageous. Fig. 6

The ring R can be made of very different material (cardboard, plastic,

Leather, rubber, metal, wood, textile etc.). It should be stable enough, e.g. one

But to be soft on the other hand not to disturb the animal or even endanger the blood supply to the rod. Also possible would be a rigid construction e.g. Metal, but still lined with a soft material inside, e.g. Rubber).

It should be an exact fixation of the ring to be possible, but without the rod to squeeze or even squeeze.

Also conceivable are additional splices of the ring, e.g. in form of

Fabric tape.

Or the ring is made of different materials so that e.g. the lateral ones

Areas of rigid half-shells exist, while soft and elastic material is used at the top and bottom, so that in no case the rod is pressed too hard.

The pressure may also be variable by turning the ring e.g. like a hose or

Screwed clamp, or as a hose or pipe clamp, or as an axle locking screw (each with inside soft design). It is also conceivable, e.g. a narrow plastic band, rubber band, or e.g. a Velcro tape, possibly with additional nubs or other roughness, etc. to prevent slipping. Or the ring R consists of e.g. Cardboard and is thus always disposable quickly. The ring can therefore be permanently attached, or will be cheaper

Materials also newly created and then possibly forms a unit with other elements and the collection container. The attachment of the tail may also be a wider ring enclosing the rod (eg in the form of a hair clip). To close the ring are very well conceivable quick release buckles, such as buckles like a ski boot, which allow a quick application with predefined pressure, or other known closures.

It is also possible that the ring R is not a pure annular structure, but e.g. has lateral extension elements VE, which extend to the body at the base of the tail, and thus more restrict lateral movement.

If the ring is wider, or if he still extensions to the tail approach

(Cuff, which also fits tightly when strapping), the rod is secured against twisting, the more secure the collecting container is securely carried in the middle.

Or, for the purpose of stabilization, simply 2 or more rings have to be fastened.

These copies can be particularly advantageous in the variants where the entire device is created only temporarily.

In DE 10 2004 041 005.4 also the variant was addressed, the device can be constructed so that it is pressed into the upper Kotabsatzposition with the attachment to the rod and at the same time the Kotauffangbehältnis is pressed to the anal area, the exiting feces is caught in it.

This requires a strength of the feces containment vessel (e.g., plastic, paperboard, wood, metal, fiberglass, etc.) so that the entire device is properly held in place between the raised rod and vent area. It is due to the permanent pushing up of the rod, as well as the size of the construction also more suitable for the short-term mounting just before the expected fiat paragraph. But it saves the owner the tedious collecting and scraping of the feces from the ground (for example, walking in the city, avoiding the killing of meadows of Nutzviehes, gardens or public facilities).

A simplification of this idea represents the Varriante now to be presented, since it can be made in one piece, is quickly attached by means of a Schellverschlusses on the raised rod, and is hygienic in handling. Fig. 8 The whole device is attached to the body of the animal with the ring R only. This attachment must be absolutely indestructible, but not hurt by appropriate padding the animal.

If the ring is mounted as close as possible to the rod approach, then lateral movements of the rod do not cause strong displacements of the entire device. However, since the ring R is not good at attaching to the base of the tail, it can therefore also have lateral extension elements VE as described above, which alone can prevent a lateral blurring of the whole device by padding so the vertebrae between the ring and the definitive Stabilize the tail lug and place it on the tailbone so as to prevent a strong sideways movement of the tail. Fig. 7 and Fig. 9

The piece of defense VS must also be absolutely rigid and provides the connection to the likewise stable Kotauffangbegrenzung KB. This KotauffangbegrenΣung KB can have all sorts of forms at derrö

The body is preferably straight, so that it fits well to the body.

This achieves good clamping of the entire device.

The lateral blurring of the device can be very well prevented by two lateral body clamps KK, each of which comes to rest outside on the thighs. Äfofo. 8, 9 yncä 10

The combination ring with extension element VE and body clips KK is of course also possible.

Or it leads an element between the hind legs of the animal and thus prevents a lateral displacement. However, this arrangement causes more problems when moving and is realistic, if at all only with neutered males. The same probably applies to e.g. one (or two) string leading forward between the legs, which attachment to the collar or top of the ring R also appears to be too difficult and impractical.

It would also be interesting if the device resp. the body clamps KK to the

Points 1, 2 and 3 Fig. 8 e.g. using hinge joints or other

Pivoted connections and the desired fixation by e.g.

Engraved or accomplished by locking screws.

So could e.g. Also, only the two body clamps KK be foldable inside, while they are laterally stored on the animal (i.e., unfolded) hold their position even without detection.

In this way, the whole device is collapsible and so good to carry when not in use.

At the same time, if desired, this could be done on the

Points 1,2, and 3 and the length of the piece VS vary, as well as the length of the lateral body clamps KK, as well as their distance from one another.

It would just have to be possible to continuously lock along the rails.

Of course, in this case, the whole device would not be in one piece, but would have the advantage of individual adjustment, as well as the lighter

Repair should break a rail once.

The body clamps KK that are suitable for the animal are firmly connected to the kot collection limiter KB. Or they can be quickly infected and removed. As a result, the whole device would not be so bulky during transport. They can be hinged, or insertable, such as e.g. the bracket in a paper punch.

If then the buckle closure as a ski boot also allows an individual adjustment of the Ruten ring diameter, so it can be said that the whole device is individually adjustable for each dog size. Possibly. could also be the connection angle rod ring-Aspirator designed adjustable, and the dimensions of the Kotauffangbegrenzung.

The Kotauffangbegrenzung KB serves the attachment of Kotauffangbehältnissen. The goal is yes that the excrement Kot, the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is not polluted. Therefore, for example, a plastic bag attached there is slipped over the edge and only at the bottom of the Kotauffangbegrenzung eg clamped.

The brackets K must be designed so that the bag as possible with a

Handle can be attached or detached, e.g. by only one

Clamping device KV is plugged. 11

The bags should be adapted to the size of the KotauffangbegrenΣung KB so that they do not obstruct the opening by Verfaltungen; On your open edge could also Schnurre, rubbers, holes or other element for fast

Attach be attached. These could also serve the rapid closing after the feces paragraph.

In general, the bags should be rather long, so that the filled bag is closed by the same odor several times. and then bags or the entire device can be removed at rest.

The bag may also have reinforcement at its closed end, e.g. by

Have cardboard catoon, so that his touch is better designed.

The cardboard can also have protruding knights, so that it can be closed at the end.

It would also be possible, e.g. a cardboard insert PE, exactly to the size of the

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB fits, and then there before the creation of the whole

Device is used. He could be inside with a plastic bag designed, or outside of a plastic bag to be wrapped. Fig. 12

Its ends are to survive, so that a hygienic sealing is possible.

It can also be applied to a precisely on the opening of the cardboard boxes matching lid D then to package the whole hygienic.

A plastic box with folded edge for the lid would also be possible. But since this is to be reused, it would have to be reliable inside with a strong

Plastic bags are lined, which is then reliably closed after feces paragraph.

DE 10 2004 041 005.4 and DE 20 2004 018 948.8 each describe a device which is fastened to the pushed-up rod of the animal and thus clamped on the rear side of the animal, the detached droppings from the animal

Feces collection container of the device is caught.

It is clear that the whole device (Ring R, Verstrebungsstück VS,

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB, body clamps KK) must be relatively rigid to this

To build tension, which pushes the rod upwards, as well as the

Kotabsatz is held. Fig. 13

The actual collection container is hung in this rigid construction, and in the simplest case can only consist of a hinged plastic bag.

The Kotauffangbegrenzung must be rigid.

Here, the aspect should be emphasized that the whole device can be made both reusable, but also as a disposable article, as was generally formulated in DE 10 2004 041 005.4.

Sometimes the disposable variant is preferred by the consumer.

In this case, the entire device, including the ring to be attached to the rod, could simply be made of e.g. Paperboard, or any other material which is relatively strong, and which can be discarded for cost and environmental reasons, e.g. Wood, some plastics, other natural products,

Fiber material, etc., or the materials are mixed, e.g. Plastic film with cardboard struts etc.

The cardboard and other materials can be made collapsible, so they are easy to carry, be unfolded if necessary and on the tail be attached, possibly under additional mounting options as described, for example, splices, chute, etc.

But there would also be the possibility that only parts of the construction consist of reusable material and only the remainder of disposable material.

So could e.g. the ring R as described in metal, rubber insert and

Quick release, and at its lower end a

Festklemmvorrichtung FKV, then at e.g. a cardboard box or a

Cardboard box with body clips PaKK is attached. Äbfo 14

The ring can be permanently on the rod and is always lashed, or he quickly created each time quickly.

Or the ring R and the bushing VS are reusable, and the other elements are disposable elements. The disposable elements will be on

Bracing piece attached, which in this case also a corresponding

Clamping device FKV for e.g. has a cardboard box Pa. Αbb. 15

Or the body clamps KK are reinstalled each time into slots S of the cardboard carton Pa, etc. Fig. 16

The cardboard carton can be covered inside or outside with plastic foil, or is simply completely shipped after acceptance in a Platiktüte.

DE 10 2004 041 005.4, DE 20 2004 018 948.8 and DE 20 2004 019 857.6 each describe a feces containment device for animals, which is fastened to the raised rod of the animal and thus clamped to the rear side of the animal, the feces deposited from the animal Dust collection container of

Device is caught.

It is clear that the whole device (Ring R, Verstrebungsstück VS,

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB, body clamps KK) must be relatively rigid to this

To build tension, which pushes the rod upwards, as well as the

Kotabsatz is held. Fig. 13

A simplification represents the device to be described now, since they are based on the

Verstrebungsstück VS waived, and therefore less material needed and does not protrude so far to the rear. Fig. 17 and Fig. 18

The Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is attached directly to the ring R and leads directly down so that it occupies the position behind the anus. It is also clamped between the tail and rear of the animal.

Fig. 18 and Fig. 19

It is also opposed to lateral displacement by measures such as

DE 20 2004 019 857.6, e.g. through body clips KK.

The variant described here could also be made very well from disposable material by the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB including the attached Kotauffangbehältnisses eg a bag each new used. The ring R could be reusable, but it could also be connected from the beginning with the Kotauffauffangbegrenzung, and would then, for example, from easily disposable plastic rings, cardboard, textile tapes, Pladstikbändern etc. or other easily disposable materials. The Kotauffangbegrenzung KB must of course be rigid, so that it is able to push the rod up. Of course, all rigid materials are already possible as mentioned in the above applications. If the whole thing is to be designed as a disposable item, the material must also be priced and environmentally friendly. For example, one could easily use recyclable plastics or reinforced cardboard or wood, natural fibers, metals, glass fiber etc.

All materials and combinations of materials that meet the necessary stability as well as low price and environmental friendliness are suitable.

The advantage here is that a Kotauffangbegrenzung KB of a certain size is suitable for many breeds of dogs, and thereby the cost can be reduced. So maybe you needed only 2 or 3 different sizes for all

Dog breeds. The shape of Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is arbitrary, advantageous appears a form which forms a square opening. The side edges can also have different shapes, just Äbfo. 18 or e.g. bent. Äbb.20

Of course, if the ring R is reused several times, it must of course be possible to mount the mud box restriction KB to the ring R in the correct position quickly, easily and stably. Also, the connection must ensure that disposal is fast.

Against the side shaking would be very good measures again as in

DE 20 2004 019 857.6 described advantageous.

Very good is e.g. when the body clips KK are individually connected for each dog size to the manure containment boundary KB at the point A, e.g. by

Plugging together. Fig 1? and Fig. 1 p

This would ensure that they are really tight, and so on

Construction is very stable. The body clamps KK may be reusable by being pulled off after the feces paragraph, or they may also be made

Disposable material, e.g. from wooden spatulas etc.

DE 10 2004 041 005.4, DE 20 2004 018 948.8 and DE 20 2004 019 857.6 each describe a manure collecting device for animals, which is attached to the pushed-up rod of the animal and thereby clamped to the rear side of the animal, the settled droppings is caught by the Kot catch container of the device.

A lateral tilting of the device is prevented by measures as described there, e.g. through lateral body clips.

However, it would also be conceivable that a lateral tilting of the device is accepted, e.g. with lowered tail.

Ultimately, it is only important that the device at the moment of fiat paragraph. automatically raises the desired position under or behind the anus when the rod is raised. On the one hand helps gravity, which can sink the device down, which can be reinforced by attaching weights.

But it would also be measures such. a small trough L in the

Mounting ring R conceivable that leaves the device slide away with the rod lowered while it leaves swing back the device in the middle position with raised rod. Fig. 21

Or the Kotauffangbegrenzung is so large especially to the side, that even with slightly shifted from the middle position the droppings safely catch.

In DE 20 2004 018 948.8 measures are described how mud collection containers can be attached to the Kotauffangbegrenzung. A paperboard insert is mentioned, which fits exactly to the size of the Kotauffangbegrenzung, and then used there before the application of the whole device, Exactly, of course, a collection bag with a fixed ring is possible, there from the front is placed exactly on the Kotauffangbegrenzung whose edge hygienically covers, and after the feces paragraph would be disposed of quickly.

DE 102004 041 005.4, DE 202004018 948.8 and DE 20 2004 019 857.6 each describe a feces containment device for animals, which is fastened to the pushed-up rod of the animal and thereby clamped on the rear side of the animal, the settled feces from the feces collecting receptacle of the device is caught.

In 20 2004 020 300.6 it is mentioned that the attached to the rod ring R can also consist of a plastic band. This plastic tape could also look like a cable tie and would be lockable just like this in various positions, so that he holds his position on the rod without squeezing the rod too hard. The width of the plastic band P can of course be arbitrary. It may already be firmly connected to the manure collection limiter KB in terms of manufacturing technology, or it may be connected subsequently, e.g. by threading. Fig. 22 The connection between Ring R and Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is always fixed so that the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is always pressed against the rear of the animal. The shape of the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is arbitrary, it can, for. be bent towards the rump. The Kotaufffangbegrenzung may also be made of softer material, if it still assumes the correct position. This can e.g. be achieved by tensioning rubbers within the structure, or by a string or a rubber that runs between the hind legs forward and then connected to the collar or ultimately with the ring R.

This construction requires minimal material, a plastic bag can already be firmly connected to the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB. This allows the whole thing to be designed as a disposable item.

DE 10 2004 041 005.4, DE 20 2004 018 948.8 and DE 20 2004 019 857.6 each describe a feces containment device for animals, which is fastened to the raised rod of the animal and thus clamped to the rear side of the animal, the feces deposited from the animal Feces collection container of the device is caught.

In 20 2004 020 300.6 it is mentioned that the attached to the rod ring R can also consist of a plastic band. This plastic tape could also look like a detachable cable tie and would be locked in different positions just like this, so that he holds his position on the rod without squeezing the rod too hard. The width of the plastic band P can of course be arbitrary.

The plastic band should have an easily detachable connection, so that it can be quickly removed from the rod after the feces paragraph. It may already be firmly connected to the manure collection limiter KB in terms of manufacturing technology, or it may be connected subsequently, e.g. by threading. Fig. 22 The connection between Ring R and Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is always fixed so that the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is always pressed against the rear of the animal. The shape of the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is arbitrary.

The now to be described new arrangement is designed so that cable ties or other bands that cause a firm grip on the rod R and the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB are used repeatedly and. only the Plastic bag is replaced again and again.

It is advantageous if e.g. the Kotauffangbegrenzung has a rectangular shape.

Fig. 23

Since there are holes L for threading the plastic tape P on all four legs, depending on the size of the dog KotauffangbegrenΣung so with the

Plastic band are connected so that it fits optimally. It can appeal to everyone

Legs in the middle are about 4 holes L, so that can be varied depending on the width of the tail. This then prevents a squeezing of the rod.

On each of the two legs, the holes for passing through the cable ties should be located on an area GiM inclined about 30 degrees to the rest of the leg.

Fig. 24

This has the advantage that it can be varied here as well.

Since each animal raises the rod at an individual angle in the feces paragraph, is guaranteed by the different inclined docking sites that each

Animal the optimal attachment is found to take the right position between the tail and hindquarters of the animal.

At the corners of the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB can e.g. Holes LS are located at those e.g. Countersunk screws can be fixed without disturbing. At the rearwardly projecting tips Sp, e.g. the folded plastic bag

(P) are hung after perforation. Fig. 25

Screws of all kinds have the advantage that they can be exchanged again, should one of them break.

The folded plastic bag ensures that the front edge of the excrement catcher can not be soiled.

DE 10 2004 041 005.4, DE 202004 018 948.8 and DE 20 2004 019 857.6 each describe a feces collecting device for animals, which is attached to the high-pressed rod of the animal and thus clamped on the rear side of the animal, the settled feces from the feces collecting container the device is caught.

In 20 2004 020 300.6 it is mentioned that the attached to the rod ring R can also consist of a plastic band. This plastic tape could also look like a cable tie and would be lockable just like this in various positions, so that he holds his position on the rod without squeezing the rod too hard. The width of the plastic tape P can of course be arbitrary, and there are bands of any material possible.

It may already be firmly connected to the manure collection limiter KB in terms of manufacturing technology, or it may be connected subsequently, e.g. by threading into holes LP. Fig. 22

The connection between ring R and Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is always rigid, so that the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is always pressed against the rear of the animal.

This rigid connection between ring R and Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is achieved by the two parts are already firmly connected to each other from the beginning.

Or in the example with the threaded tape, by lashing it to the rod, the connection between ring and Kotauffangbegrenzung.

For the KotauffangbegrenΣung any kind of solid materials is conceivable, e.g.

Plexiglas, plastic, metal etc.

A bag B to be inserted is simply guided from behind through the opening of the Kotauffangbegrenzung and beaten the free edge FR of the bag B then over the edge of the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB. This will make this happen

Pollution protected. The size of the plastic bag is the size of the

Trimmed Kotauffangbegrenzung, so the bag is already held securely by this simple handling. Fig. 2 <& (PL = plastic tape for

Attach to the rod)

Otherwise, e.g. At the rear of the Kotauffangbegrenzung still a small clip or other construction are, which tensions the bag and then holds.

This construction could also be subsequently fixed to one of the existing holes, e.g. through a screw.

Purely manufacturing technology, this simplified form has the advantage that Kotauffangbegrengungen different sizes can be cut out of plates without much loss of material, with mounting holes for the plastic tape LP, mounting holes for an element for tensioning a folded bag LB or also for attaching body clips against the lateral blur LK. Fig. 27

The corners E of the respective Kotauffangbegrenzungen must be rounded so that they do not tear the pulled over her bag B, they can also be slightly protruding to prevent slipping of the bag. Example in Fig. 27

For the Kotauffangbegrenzung also Marialien would be grateful, which are also suitable for disposal after use, e.g. Reinforced cardboard with already attached pouch or environmentally friendly plastics, natural products etc.

The attachment to the rod are all possible rings, brackets, straps, etc. possible.

These are usually appropriate only for a short time. In case of an accidental prolonged leaving of the device, complete suppression of the blood supply to the tip of the rod is not to be expected since, in addition to a superficial blood supply, even deeper blood vessels take over the supply. A large contact surface of the

Attachment to the rod allows a safe even with light pressure

Mounting.

In addition, there is usually a padding through the hair instead.

Another safety measure could be to take the two lateral ones

Relieve areas of pressure as the superficial supply lanes run there. The pressure would therefore only from below through the contact surface of the

Kotauffangbegrenzung KK and made from above through the upper plate OP on the rod Ru.

The cross-sectional scope of the vertebrae is more quadrangular than circular, so that through this Pressure generation creates enough hold. Fig. 28

The upper plate OP is pushed down along the rails S1 and S2 and then detected.

As already mentioned in DE 202005 001 078.2, the lock can be released by a coupled electric or mechanical timer Z (Küchenwecker) after a certain time.

In order to take pressure from the superficial supply paths V of the rod Ru, the attachment with a ring Ri is possible, but at the crucial points has recesses AS. Abia. 2 $

In DE 20 2005 001 291.2 it is mentioned that the KotauffangbegrenΣung KB, where the collecting container, 2.B. A plastic bag attached will have any shape imaginable.

He can also have a shape that ensures that between

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB and rear body area a close concern is guaranteed, and so the droppings are caught even more secure, as well

Shaking is additionally prevented.

Fig. 30, Fig. 31 Front view Fig. 32 Soap view

The insertion of the plastic bag in this case could e.g. very good by one

KordelΣugbeutel done whose diameter of the open edge after the

Passing and handling (as described in DE 202005 001 814.7) can be adjusted as needed.

DE 10 20 004 005.4, DE 20 2004 018 948.8 and DE 20 2004 019 857.6 each describe a cowling device for animals, which is fastened to the raised rod of the animal and thus clamped on the rear side of the animal, the separated droppings from the animal Feces collection container of the device is caught.

For attachment to the rod all possible rings, brackets, straps, etc. are possible.

In DE 20 2005 001 078.2, e.g. mentioned the attachment with cable ties. These can of course be padded as desired, with over-pushed hoses, or other überverschbaren soft materials.

Any mounts to the rod are usually short term, i. E. A maximum of 10 minutes at the start of the run, if the owner knows from experience that his dog will do his job quickly.

Of course, despite the fact that the device has only been fastened for a short time, the goal must be that the attachment to the rod is just so firm that it does not slip off, but not much more so as not to press the rod unnecessarily.

This can be achieved e.g. by a clamp K, which is pressed by a tension spring SF with the appropriate force. Fig. 33

At the end of the jaw B1 of the clamp K there is an adjusting screw St, one end of which abuts the second jaw B2 of the clamp, and thus limits how far the two jaw ends can come together.

This allows individual adjustment of the pressure on the rod R, depending on

Extent of the same. Selbstveständlich are the jaws of the clip on her tail facing side optimally padded. With a pad P eg made of rubber,

Plastic, foam or other soft materials, but still has a certain grip.

This construction by means of the clip also allows for quick attachment and

Loosen the device to the rod by simply raising the rod and then slipping over the initially opened clip from behind or from the side.

Also possible are fixing devices on the handle H of the bracket K.

For example, by at a guided through two holes rod S in the end

Threads G are located where each screw is turned on, and so on

Limit parenthesis in their possible merging. It can too

Thread in the holes to be screwed. Fig. 34

Or the two handles H are connected by a band, etc., whose adjustable length limits the pressure of the brackets. Fig. 35

Öder there are each latching when the two handles H are moved to each other. Fig. 3 @

Of course, highly complex arrangements would be conceivable where the pressure exerted by the clamp by means of pressure sensors and a mechanism would be electrically controlled.

The actual Kotauffangbegrenzung KB, a flat frame to which then the plastic bag is attached by slipping over, is connected to the connection piece VS, in which the adjusting screw St is integrated. Fig. 33

The Kotauffangbegrenzung KB can in many ways rigid with the

Connecting piece VS to be connected.

So she can e.g. are inserted into the slot S, and is then fixed by means of two or more screws Sb at such an angle that the

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is optimally adjusted for each dog, and a more precise

Seat without excessive tension is guaranteed. Fig. 37 (side view of the

Connector VS)

Or several deep slots TS are prefabricated in the connecting piece VS, and the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is inserted into the appropriate.

Fig. 38 (side view of the connector VS)

Or it is in the connecting piece VS only a deep slot TS, but which is located in a rotatable roller DW, and so can be suitably rotated, and then in this position can be locked, or festschraubbar. Fig. 39

The use of a bracket K for attachment to the rod, there may be the problem that, due to the different diameter of the rod in the individual animals brackets of different sizes are needed. This can be achieved in that the jaw B2 of the clip, has a smaller curvature, and yet due to an extension V contact with the set screw St finds. Fig. 40 Or a wide variety of upholstery P are used in the clamp K, which have the opportunity as inserts to reduce the diameter of the clamp.

The connector VS is attached to the end of one of the jaws.

But it can just as well fixed to the middle section of a jaw B, or be subsequently attached there. In this case, the clip is pushed from the side over the rod and fastened. Fig. 41

Or if the clip is pushed from behind over the raised rod Afofe. 42, are the handles H of the clip under the rod and allow a Befestigungsigtsein the connector to the handles, or at the same level of the spring of the clip. Fig. 43

This has the advantage that the force resulting from the application of the device falls on the middle part of the clamp, and so does not burden them mechanically so much. The connecting piece can also form a unit with the rod S described above on the handles H. Fig. 34

Or it is completely dispensed with a connector V by the

Clamp K is equally designed to fit easily with the frame of the

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is connected, e.g. by having a breakthrough D. Fig. 44

Or the clip has a protruding edge VK, e.g. below, at the

Frame R of the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is attached, e.g. firmly glued with industrial adhesive. Fig. 45

This edge for mooring the frame can of course be articulated with the

Be connected bracket. If it is still lockable in any position, it allows a mooring of the frame in each required

Angulation.

The clip has e.g. additional edges, holes, slots for fixing

Thus, the brackets Lz.B, _oben_n_och 3 have different edges VK, after passing through the opening D screwing V to the frame

R allowed in different angles. Fig 46 (side view)

These edges for attachment can also be on the side of the clip. Fig. 47

Other technical possibilities of connection are possible, also e.g. by means of

Wires, connectors, gluing etc.

Another way to allow attachment to the rod with a predetermined pressure, the attachment with a band or ring Ri, which are closed with a buckle S as usual in ski boots. Depending on the selected locking E or pre-adjustment by means of screws see the currently required voltage is generated. Fig. 48

Or another possibility would be a locking E of the ring Ri when squeezing with one hand. Fig. 49

In 20 2004 020 300.6 it is mentioned that the attached to the rod ring R can also consist of a plastic band. This plastic tape could also look like a reopenable cable tie and would be locked just like this in various positions, so that he holds his position on the rod without squeezing the rod too hard. The width of the plastic tape P can of course be arbitrary, and there are bands of any material possible.

It may already be firmly connected to the manure collection limiter KB in terms of production, or it may be subsequently connected e.g. by threading in

Holes LP. Fig. 22

Incidentally, threading into the holes can be done from both sides, just as it is easiest for the user.

If the closure of the plastic strap P is behind after threading, then The loop formed on the front side is simply pushed over the rod R and the cable tie is pulled closed. Äofofo @@

The rod contacting locations of the cable tie may be e.g. be padded by over-pushed silicone hoses.

Or in the example with the threaded tape, by lashing it to the rod, the connection between ring and

KotauffangbegrenΣung.

For the Kotauffangbegrenzung any kind of solid materials is conceivable, e.g.

Plexiglas, plastic, metal etc.

A bag B to be inserted is simply fed from behind through the opening of the KotauffangbegrenΣung and the free edge of the bag then over the

Edge of Kotauffangbegrenzung beaten. This will make this happen

Pollution protected. The size of the plastic bag is the size of the

Trimmed Kotauffangbegrenzung, so the bag is already held securely by this simple handling. Fig. 26

A lateral blur of the device can be prevented by the

Kotauffangbegrenzung very brejt is chosen so that it always remains behind the animal, even if the rod is moved strongly to the side.

If this is not sufficient for some animals, you can also use the

Kotauffangbegrenzung attached body brackets KK help, since they then run outside on the upper thighs.

The lateral blur of the device can be very well prevented by two lateral body clips KK, each outside the thighs for

Lying come. Fig. 18

If the attachment of the body clips for the stability of the whole device is necessary, it should nevertheless be ensured that a bag to be inserted B can be easily fed from behind through the opening of the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB and then the free edge of the bag over the edge of the

Kotauffangbegrenzung can be beaten and is thus fixed.

To ensure a smooth overturning of the plastic bag, the body clamps KK would have to be approximately at the level of the lower third of the lateral

Leg of the otauffangbegrenzung KB be attached. Fig. 67

Or they would have to be fixed in the middle of the lower leg of the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB, but then on a pedestal So, so that the running to the side

Body braces do not interfere with the turnover of the bag.

Fig. 68 (side view), Fig. 69 (top view)

Or they would just be in the middle of the lower thigh

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB attached, but would have to be bent so that they one

Do not prevent the bag from turning over at the corners of the manure collector.

Fig. 70

The body clips can be used in many different ways with the

Kotauffangbegrenzung be connected by fixed connections eg Screwing, or by connections, which allow a quick attachment and detachment, eg Aufknipsen. The body clips can be folded, or collapsible.

As discussed at the beginning, it is important that at the moment of the feces paragraph the feces collection device is located in such a position between the anal area of the animal and its tail that the exiting feces are caught.

This could be achieved, albeit with more effort, also by structures that are not rigid. This would then but possibly have a special elasticity, so they always snap back into a specific position. For example, Although the Kotauffangbegrenzung KBE is rigidly connected to the ring R, but is itself elastic. Fig. 55

Or they would have to have an additional mechanism that brings the fender at the crucial moment in the desired position. For example, The Kotauffangvorrichtung with attachment to the rod consists of a solid box which is always by folding down before or under the anus. For example, the box is fixed at fixed point A and at fixed point B there is a repelling device AB with a spring with guide which always pushes the box to the rear with moderate force. Fig. 50

Or the manure catcher with attachment to the rod consists of a solid box (cardboard, plastic, which is always by folding before or under the anus.) This arrangement is particularly suitable for short-term applications., Or it is a plastic bag whose open edge by a is strengthened before or under the anus Fig. 50

The box or the fixed ring is fastened fest for example at fixed point A and the fixed point B is a repulsion AB AB with a spring with Lung or tensioning devices (eg spring as in mousetrap) or a drive (eg hydraulic drive), which always with the box moderate force pushes to the rear. Of course, it is also possible that not only a solid box is permanently pushed to the back, but also all other constructions suitable to catch the feces, e.g. stretched plastic or paper bags or other bags, e.g. made of natural fibers etc.

So it would also be possible that you do not need fixed point A and B, but only a rel. small tail clamp is attached, at the lower end of the catcher is pushed with moderate pressure telescopically in position.

It should also be mentioned that even in the case described in DE 10 2004 041 005.4, where a device attached to the rod is e.g. is permanently pressed by feathers towards the anus area, u.U. also purely mechanical, the rod is already partially pushed up.

The lateral displacement of this construction can then be prevented by measures such as lateral body clips or or extension elements of the ring. For the use of recyclable materials and disposable materials applies to all constructions previously executed.

DE 10 2004 041 005.4 also discusses the possibility that the fecal receptacle attached to the ring is permanently pressed against the hindquarters of the animal, e.g. by a repelling mechanism.

It will now be mentioned again that, of course, it is also possible to pull the Kotauffangqefäßes KAG to the rear of the animal, e.g. by an elastic rubber band G or by a spring etc. Afofo. 51

In 102004041005.4 it is described that the droppings container is pressed by springs, etc. against the rear of the animal.

These pressures are permanent.

Another improvement could be the fact that the

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB and the kot catcher attached to it

(e.g., a plastic bag) can only be pressed against the rear when the

Rod of the animal is held up, so is in the Kotabsatzposition.

This can be achieved, e.g. by a weight G that only against the

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB presses when the rod is held up.

Fig. 52 If the tail is hanging it falls back. Äfefo 53

More complicated would be constructions with the help of an inclinometer, etc., which then triggering of the Kotauffangbegrenzung by a small hydraulic system is triggered.

The connection between the attached to the rod ring R and the

Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is movable at point 1.

The connection between Ring R and Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is usually fixed so that the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is always pressed against the rear of the animal. The shape of the Kotauffangbegrenzung KB is arbitrary, it can, for. be bent towards the rump. The Kotaufffangbegrenzung may also be made of softer material, if it still assumes the correct position. This can e.g. be achieved by tensioning rubbers within the structure, or by a string or a rubber that runs between the hind legs forward and then connected to the collar or ultimately with the ring R.

In 102004041005.4 also devices are described, which are attached only to the rod, the attachment to the rod and the Kotauffangbehältnis not rigid, but are movably connected. This has the advantage that the rod can be suspended, without being affected by the device. The whole Kot catch container can also be rather soft.

A very different approach of a construction attached to the rod by means of a fixed ring, clamp tape, etc. would be that the connection to the manure containment boundary KB at point 1 is also rigid, but that the manure containment limit KBE itself is made of an Elasian, bendable, soft material , so that the rod can be lowered without problems. Fig. 54

In this case, the soft Kotauffangbegrenzung would e.g. squeezed, rolled, pushed away, etc. Fig. 55

At the moment of raising the rod, however, due to its elasticity, the excrement restrictor would snap back into the proper droppings position; iWlan could e.g. Use rubber or special plastics, or others

Materials with similar properties.

The ability to reach the original shape, e.g. by specially arranged springs or rubbers etc.

An orderly folding of KotauffangbegrenΣung is possible with lateral or downward movements, by appropriately provided

Kinks, etc., then more rigid materials are conceivable.

These additional elements such as springs, etc. can also reinforce the necessary stability at the moment of Kotabsatzes, and be interchangeable in a material fatigue.

This device would be quite suitable for prolonged wear on the animal.

The fact that the arbitrary bands, etc. can be used for attachment, it would also be possible to use tapes with any additional functions.

Thus, a band could have a predetermined breaking point, so that it breaks after a certain time and pressure, if the animal keeper once forgets to remove the band.

Or it could be a small e.g. integrated mechanical or electrical timer, which dissolves the connection after a certain time.

Or it is equal when creating only possible to create the band with a certain train, while it breaks at a stronger train or the locking mechanism dissolves, etc.

DE 20 2005 007 812.3 describes devices where the device is conveniently attached to the tail by means of a clamp.

Also conceivable are mechanisms that, exceptionally, are not rigid

Represent connection of the connector VS and Kotauffangbegrenzung KB, but where, for example. a spring F a permanent pressure on the in the

Slot S exerts the inserted Kotauffangbegrenzung KB and so always

Towards the back of the animal. Fig. 56

Or that this pressing, e.g. is controlled by means of a small electric hydraulic, and that this pressing with defined pressure takes place only when the rod occupies a certain position (e.g., integrated inclinometer, etc.) or starting droppings are detected (e.g., temperature sensor, etc.).

In DE 102004041005.4 also devices were presented, which are attached only to the rod, and where by means of additional mechanical elements at the moment of Kotabsatzes collecting containers are positioned in such a way that they catch the feces.

For this purpose, a device V has been developed, which is connected by means of e.g. one

Velcro K or other bands or by

Clamps K (possibly upholstered) around the rod Fig 57 or sticking, etc. on the tail lug, clips is attached to the hair, and the droppings collected through a fold-out Kotauffangbeutel AK. Fig. 58

The Kotauffangvorrichtung with attachment to the rod consists of a preferably cylindrical body, which consists of a solid material, eg metal, plastic, wood, glass fiber products etc.

It is e.g. by means of a rough non-slipping Velcro tape which is passed through the slots S1 and S2 attached to the rod.

Very good would also be exact and convenient tail clamps K,

Afbfe 57, e.g. with strong padding but rel. strong pressure., the respective

Diameter adapted.

The Kotauffangvorrichtung with attachment to the rod is at its front

The sensor is optionally powered by a battery B. In the rear

Part of the retrofit device with attachment to the rod is located

Cavity H, which is opened by means of two upwardly hinged wings F in this cavity is then attached to two rods St foldable Kotauffangbehälter AK.

The two sticks stuck together in a hinged

Joint G, Fig. 59, so that they move downward when deployed and spread at the same time, and so the AK covers the area under the anus. Fig. 58

The rods may be made of any solid material, e.g. Wood,

Plastic, metal, etc.

The movements of the chopsticks can be controlled by a small drive

(e.g., hydraulics) or by means of springs, tensioners,

Spring tensioning devices, etc. be accomplished.

Since a dog squats slightly in the feces paragraph and puts the rod up, it is easy that the bag in this moment takes the right position.

You can then install the following. Due to the severity of the feces, the two rods would be e.g. a catch from her normal

Fixation pulled out. By pulling this out into the next click, the fixation mechanism of the rods would then be altered so that after the fecal paragraph has ended, as the dog moves the tail down again, the AK will detach from its fixation and fall to the ground.

Thereafter, the cavity can close again by folding the two wings.

The owner can down the fallen AK by touching the free

Conveniently grasp the ends of the rods, and if necessary, roll the Ak opening.

The owner can now by inserting a new Ak, which is preferably equipped with the same new rods with the Kotauffangvorrichtung

Reload attachment to the rod, and then the two

Close wings by squeezing.

By what measures should now Kotauffangvorrichtung with

Attachment to the rod to be activated.

Possible would be a radio contact, namely, when the owner watches his dog and he triggers the whole thing by means of a transmitter.

Often, however, an observation or quick trading is not possible.

It would also be possible to initiate a mechanical release by e.g. in the place of

Sensors S a telescopic antenna extends and retracts always according to the position of the rod. If the rod is held down, that is

Telescope in the mudguard with attachment to the rod retracted. If the tail goes up, it comes out of the

Kotauffangvorrichtung with attachment to the rod out, in extreme cases, e.g. at the feces paragraph she is completely extended and her front end is just in front of the After exit, now occurs a lateral pressure on the

Telescope on, e.g. by exiting feces, it comes to the trigger.

The tip of the "telescope" would then after each process in order

Hygiene again and again plugged.

Basically, it should be said that the mechanisms are usually chosen so that the sensor is activated only when the rod is held up.

Also possible would be a kind of distance measurement between 2 points to the right and left of the anus. These would have to be done by means of e.g. Sticking to skin or

Hair, clinging to the skin or hair, implantation under the skin, etc., or by braiding in the hair or by suction cups.

At the moment of the feces paragraph, this distance would increase. This would be measurable, e.g. by a stretched between two points

Thread, or by other methods of measurement methods that would be measured by a suitable sensor in (optical, magnetic, etc.)

More options:

Heat measurement at the anus outlet, a sudden increase in temperature would trigger the mechanism.

Or a measurement e.g. by infrared light by means of a light barrier.

If faeces come between the area to be measured, it is triggered

(Pass-through detector) e.g. Meter is attached to the tail,

Glueing point under the anus, stapled or otherwise attached, e.g. woven into the hair.

All sensors known in the industry could be used.

Further: Or the food of the animal is permanet a harmless

Substance is added as fiber, the outlet of which is immediately registered by the sensor.

For example, magnet, induction, smell, color, radiation, reflecting on light, only active when in contact with oxygen.

The Kotauffangvorrichtung with attachment to the rod should be as small as possible and thus ensure a largely normal movement of the rod.

The goal is, after all, that the droppings do not fall to the ground.

It would be conceivable, e.g. Also, that when triggered not a bag works down, but only ensures that the bottom of the

Butt of the dog just in time spreads a small foil.

This film or other masses could be in strong compression

Condition are located in the cavity H. and then quickly spread when falling and so catch the feces. After that, the whole of the

Owner smashed and disposed of.

The box for ejecting the foil or other masses could also be fixed to the leg of the dog F Fig. 61, e.g. over the ankle and from a slit S eject the foil. This would have to be transmitted by a radio contact from the sensor on the rod approach.

In DE 102004 041 005.4 sensors are discussed which are attached to the rod, detect the beginning of Kotabsatzes and initiate appropriate Kotauffangmaßnahmen. For example, the exiting feces have a significantly higher temperature than the environment, this is detected by temperature sensors. Likewise, gas sensors can register the gas evolution that occurs during the fray, and thus, for example, press a collection box to the aft region. If a pressure sensor is to report the exiting feces, this can be done by means of a replaceable sensor which only transmits the pressure pulse back to the pressure sensor.

These sensors would then be e.g. a permanent pressure of the box against the anus region not necessary, since this puts a strong strain on the required springs, and SchwandΣwackeln may damage the Kotauffangbehältnis. This rotation of the Kotauffangbehältnisses with lateral tail movements could also be prevented by a certain lower weight of the Kotauffangbehältnisses, and by the Kotauffangnisnis example. is stored so that it does not participate in lateral movements, by being in its suspension e.g. moved in a rail. Fig B2

DE 10 2004 041 005.4 also describes a telescopic extension of an antenna

(or telescopic rails) with the rod held high from a device V attached to the rod. This "antenna" may also be designed by e.g. consists of two poles, which spread apart during extension and so catch it by means of attached pouches the feces.

If the tail is moved back down, the antenna A is retracted again, if no weighting by Kotabsatz has taken place.

It is also possible that the containment receptacle (e.g., a rigid ring with pouch) is already stretched, thus moving just before the anus. Fig. 83

Retraction of the "antenna" may be by normal gravity, or balanced by additional weights or springs, or it may be initiated by specially built-in lean or tilt sensors (battery, electric).

The "antenna" can also run in a track Seh, and through one on one

Schnurr fixed weight G or by a spring F it is lowering the

Tail pulled back quickly. Fig. 64

Or, after attachment to the tail, only one e.g. a very thin light plastic bag or foil held like an inverted parachute before the anus, which falls down with the first droppings, thus ensuring at least a slight picking up the feces from the ground. This reversed parachute UF would be associated with e.g. Schnürren Schnü, braces, etc. simply attached to the base of the tail. Fig. 65

One of the strings SpS could serve as a tension cord, which transmits the signal to open the bag. For example, could it if the inverted parachute nor a rod St would have mutated to a quasi upside down umbrella UR and could be stretched like an umbrella. Fig. 65 These jigs can be varied as desired, it being important that the otherwise vertically slack hanging down, e.g. In particular, the bag unfolds through the unfolding and also covers the area vertically under the anus at the moment of feces sales. The bag filled with excrement folds back after lowering the rod, can remain on the animal, or it slips over the lowered tail again. In the same way, it would be possible for a folded box of any shape to be unfolded by a tension cord.
