Description

Excrement collecting device

Background of the Invention The present invention relates to a system and its components for collecting feces, in particular dog feces, comprising a collapsible device which in the folded state is in the form of a box having an open front surface, a closure surface for the open front surface of the box and a box or two spacers in the form of a telescopic pole or telescopic rod.

Various devices for collecting dog feces are known in the art. The simple disposal with bags or similar gripping elements, which are then enclosed by bags for odor avoidance (DE202007009029U1), which are used by hand, the animal excrement caught or in which the debris is shoveled and are carried to a disposal point is unhygienic, unaesthetic and by the Stooping attitude of the disposer inconvenient especially for older people, which preferably keep dogs. An alternative is provided by stick-like devices, such as walking sticks, with additional technical devices which grasp the bags with the excreta or to which the bags are fastened and which are then carried to a disposal point (DE8309064U1, DE7903147U1, FR2686106A1). However, these technical ancillary equipment must always be carried along when the animal is being carried out. A further alternative is provided by containers, such as bags, boxes or sacks, to which an eyelet, loop or similar devices for inserting a hook are attached to a stick-type device for transport to a disposal point (DE8309064U1, DE7903147U1). However, the manufacture of special devices on a container is impractical and also tied to particular devices of the stick-like transport device. An alternative to unfoldable containers which are in principle exploded for use (DE202007009029U1, DE7903147U1, FR2686106A1) is the use of solid boxes (WO2008034246A1). However, this alternative is also tied to carrying bulky devices, which is impractical. Other possibilities include the attachment of collection devices such as a sack or a fixed box directly on the floor, in which the debris is transported. All these devices require sticks or rods with special technical devices, which alone makes the transport of these devices uncomfortable and uncomfortable. Even the greatest animal lovers do not want to go with conspicuous devices on sticky objects with their sweetheart gassi. Thus, there is a need for a device for collecting feces, especially of dogs, which As small as possible, comfortably carried and easy to use and can be easily disposed of.

Another disadvantage of the prior art is that the devices often can not be tightly and securely closed. One possibility is the use of boxes to which a tight cover is already attached via an elastic band, which is pulled away for insertion of the excrements into the box and then snaps back again (WO2008034246A1), or is connected to the device from the outset (DE7903147U1). , However, a solid lid is necessarily present, which can not be pressed into the device for firmer closure. In addition, with these devices, the entrainment of more complex devices is necessary.

A further disadvantage of the embodiments of the prior art is that the devices or parts of the devices for transporting the collection devices filled with excrements can easily be contaminated with the excrements (DE202007009029U1, DE8309064U1, FR2686106A1, FR 2 874 944 A1). Thus, the sanitary standard of the prior art is often not perfect.

Thus object of the present invention is to provide a device for collecting and disposing of excrement, which is as small as possible, easily carried and easily operated and also designed so that the components for operating the device are not contaminated by the excrement and thus the device is hygienically applicable. This object is achieved by providing a device according to claim 1 and the system according to claim 13 and the folding pattern according to claims 14-17. Further advantageous embodiments, aspects and details of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the description, the examples and the figures.

Description of the invention

Surprisingly, it has been found that the device according to the invention for collecting excrements solves the stated problem, wherein the device is collapsible and in the folded state forms a box with a back surface and four side surfaces, wherein the front surface is open and a side surface a pierceable area for receiving a Spacer has and the open front surface is closed with a closure surface. This device has the advantage of being able to comfortably collect the faeces of dogs, cats and horses in an upright position and close them tightly in a box, whereby the box containing excrements does not have to be touched directly with the hands and the user therefore has the unpleasant and unaesthetic feeling avoids, even indirectly with the partly muddy and still warm feces in contact. A further advantage is that the box according to the invention are operated only on the spacers for the box and the closure surface (V), the box must not be touched even with the hands in the filled state, and the spacers are protected from contamination with the excrement by hygiene tabs and therefore do not need to be cleaned after use.

An important advantage of the device according to the invention is that it is foldable and thus can be carried in a space-saving manner. The wall thickness of the 5 surfaces of the box is preferably between 1 and 3 mm. In the folded state, the surfaces are one above the other, so that the thickness of the folded device is preferably 5 mm to 25 mm and thus can easily be carried in the folded state in each pocket, trouser pocket or coat pocket. Thus, an essential aspect of the device according to the invention is that it is foldable. On the possible folding patterns according to the invention will be discussed in more detail later.

The device according to the invention may consist of any material, preferably of recycled material and recyclable material such as paper, cardboard, cardboard, wood or plastic, and more preferably of cardboard. The folded device of the invention may be folded slightly, i. assembled and in the folded or assembled state has the form of a box with an open front surface.

By the term "box" as used herein is meant a spatial object having 6 faces, with one face, namely the front face, being open. The box may be in the shape of a cube with an open front surface if all the edge lengths are the same length or the shape of a cube with an open front surface. In a cuboid, the back surface is square and the four side surfaces rectangular and the open front surface accordingly square according to the back surface, or the back surface is rectangular and two side surfaces are square and two other side surfaces are rectangular according to the back surface, the open front surface in the dimensions the back surface corresponds. These simple geometric shapes of a box with an open area are possible but not preferred. Preferred are spatial shapes of a box as a truncated pyramid. As a truncated pyramid as used herein, a body having a square or rectangular back surface (R) is referred to, wherein two opposite side surfaces (L1 = S1 and L2 = S3) or all 4 side surfaces (S1, S2, S3, S4) the shape of a quadrangle with the Edge lengths (a), (b) and (c) are as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shows the truncated pyramid with the back surface (R) which is square when a1 = a2 = a and which is rectangular if a1 is not a2. The side edges b are all the same length. The front surface formed by the edges d and c2 is open.

For a truncated pyramid, c1> a1 and c2> a2. However, truncated pyramids are also possible in which c1 = a1 and c2> a2 or in which c1> a1 and c2 = a2. It is furthermore preferred if c1 is 1% to 10% longer than a1 and / or c2 is 1% to 10% longer than a2. Thus, the open front surface is always always larger than the back surface. The box in the form of a truncated pyramid thus becomes larger towards the open front surface, i. is diverging, which is advantageous for easier filling and sealing (Figure 3).

In the case where a1 = a2 = a and c1 = c2 = c with c> a, there are 4 equally large side surfaces (S) according to FIG. 1, which are designated for differentiation with S1, S2, S3 and S4. As used herein, S1 is also referred to as a lateral surface (L1) and S3 as a lateral surface (L2) and S2 as a top surface (D) and S4 as a bottom surface (B).

The top surface (D) of the device according to the invention is the surface facing upwards in the folded state of the box, the bottom surface (B) the surface on which the device according to the invention lies, the lateral surfaces (L1, L2) the side facing surfaces, the back surface (R) the surface opposite the open surface and the open front surface is the surface through which the excrements are pushed into the device of the invention. Thus, the present invention relates to a device for collecting excrement, which is collapsible and in the folded state, a box with a back surface (R), a top surface (D), a bottom surface (B), two lateral surfaces (L1, L2) and a open front surface (O) forms, wherein the top surface has a pierceable ble and preferably cut or pre-perforated area (P) for piercing a spacer and the open front surface (O) with a closure surface (V) is closed (Figure 3 and Figure 7c) ,

The pierceable area (P) on the top surface (D) or a side surface (S) or the side surface (S2) is an area where a spacer is easier to pierce than in other areas of this area. The pierceable area is therefore a hole, a hole with surrounding cut or perforated area to enlarge the hole when piercing or only a perforated area without a central hole to pierce the tip of a spacer. If a hole already exists, it is advantageous to choose the diameter of the hole smaller than the diameter of the spacer to be durchzustechenden. Particular preference is given to perforations in the form of concentric circles or lines tapering to a center point, which mechanically clamp the punctured tip of the spacer when piercing the puncturable region in order to prevent the device according to the invention from slipping off the spacer.

Thus, the puncturable bare or vorperforierte area (P) in the top surface (D) or a side surface (S) of the device according to the invention for piercing a spacer, with which the device can be worn with the collected excrement to a disposal point. The pre-perforation of the material according to the invention is used for easy insertion at this point and thus for ease of handling and also contributes to a hygienic application, because below the pierceable area preferably a sanitary flap is, in which the tip of the spacer after piercing the pierceable area is introduced. This tab or sanitary flap is preferred and protects the pierced tip of the spacer, which is inside the box, from contact with the excrement. Piercing into the device according to the invention at any point can damage the material, e.g. by tearing, or by too much piercing lead to unwanted contact with the excrement. This is prevented by the pre-perforation and / or perforation according to the invention. Preperforations may e.g. be achieved by punching, grooving, embossing and grooves.

The pierceable area (P) or the pre-perforation for receiving the spacer is located in the center and in the back surface facing area of a side surface, ie. preferably in the back surface facing half of the top surface, and in the center with respect to the lateral edges of the top surface. The puncturable area (P) may thus begin at the edge (a) in the middle of the top surface (D) and is preferably not further than 1 cm to 5 cm from the edge (a) towards the center of the top surface (D) ( FIG. 3).

The perforation or pre-perforation or perforation with pre-perforation may be round, quadrangular, oblong-slit-shaped or oblong-slot-shaped with a round enlargement in the middle part, cross-shaped, X-shaped, T-shaped or the shape of the tip of a spacer to be pierced (FIG. FIGS. 3 and 4). The diameter of the pre-perforation is greater than the diameter of the spacer and the diameter of a hole is smaller than the diameter of durchzustechenden tip of a spacer, wherein preferably the device according to the invention is prevented by a Abrutschhindernis at the punctured end of the distance holder easy slipping, can be separated by pressure from above, however, from the spacer. The Abrutschhindernis can be a roundish thickening, an angular thickening or a wing-like device at the durchzustechenden tip of the spacer. A wing-like thickening or other non-rotationally symmetrical slip-off obstacle at the tip of the spacer to be pierced serves in particular to prevent rotation of the device according to the invention around the tip of the spacer. Thus, it is preferred that the tip of the spacer to be pierced is not circular and preferably has a shape or configuration which prevents rotation about the longitudinal axis of the spacer. Particularly preferred is an elongated slot-shaped or cruciform shape, which is adapted to the shape of the perforation or pre-perforation or perforation with pre-perforation (Figure 4). The fit according to the key-lock principle free movement of the device is limited to the longitudinal axis of the spacer. Since the spacer for piercing the perforation or perforation is not part of the invention and spacers are difficult to obtain commercially available with the tips described, the tip of the spacer can be modified by an essay. The adaptation of the tip of the spacer can thus conveniently be such that a cap is placed on the tip of the spacer, which is adapted in shape of the shape of the perforation or pre-perforation or perforation with pre-perforation. The spacer for piercing in the perforation may further have at the lower end of an essay, which prevents too far puncture of the spacer in the device according to the invention. Such an attachment may be, for example, a crossbar, a symmetrical or asymmetrical plate such as ski poles, a wing-like device or a quadrangular or polygonal device. The attachment for preventing too much piercing into the perforation or perforation may be combined with the attachment form or configuration which prevents rotation of the device about the longitudinal axis of the spacer. For piercing the spacer should have a conical, preferably a pointed end (Figure 4). Thus, an embodiment in which the tip of the spacer is modified by an attachment is preferred.

As a spacer for piercing the pre-perforation and the transport of the device according to the invention with the excrement to a disposal point, for example, a walking stick, a walking stick, a ski pole, a telescopic rod, telescopic walking stick, Nordic walking stick, a telescopic stick or an umbrella. The spacer should be long enough so that a human standing upright in the pre-perforation of the device according to the invention can pierce. A length of the spacer is preferably from 60 cm to 150 cm, preferably from 80 cm to 120 cm.

It is also preferred if there is a tab or hygiene tab for receiving the spacer on the inside of the back surface (R) below the pierceable area. If the tip of a spacer is pierced through the pierceable area, then it is located inside the device according to the invention and could come into contact with the filled excrements. To prevent this, a tab or sanitary flap is provided on the inside of the back surface in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, so that the spacer is inserted through the pierceable area in the space between the back surface (R) and tab and through the tab of the Excrements separated and thereby protected from contamination. Thus, a tab is preferably below the Vorperforierung invention and / or perforation for piercing a spacer on the interior side facing the back surface (R) attached, which serves to avoid contact of the tip of the pierced spacer with the collected material, so the Prevent contamination of the spacer with feces, debris or parasitic material. The flap thus serves the hygiene, in order to avoid further spreading of feces or infectious material. The tab can be made of plastic, cellophane, rubber, cloth, paper or cardboard, but preferably of material that is not easily soaked, so be made of polymeric plastics such as plastic, cellophane or rubber. Furthermore, the tab may preferably consist of the same material as the device. In a preferred embodiment, the tab is fixedly connected to the back surface along the side edges and the bottom edge and has an opening only along the edge facing the top surface (D) which is below the pierceable area and preferably the same size as the puncturable area (FIG. P) possesses. Furthermore, the edge of the flap facing the top surface can reach tightly against the top surface and can also be fixedly connected to the top surface and surround the area around the pierceable region like a bag. In this embodiment, where all edges of the tab are firmly connected to the back surface (R) or the top surface (D), the material of the tab should be flexible or creased so as not to tear when assembling the device according to the invention. In a further preferred embodiment, the tab is attached to the interior of the facing side of the top surface (D). In this embodiment, the tab is preferably fixedly connected to the top surface with all edges to prevent contamination of the spacer with the top surface to avoid collected material. The tab preferably covers the area around the perforation. The tab may also be appropriate so that it covers the entire inside of the top surface to the recess. In this embodiment, the material of the tab should be flexible or creased so as not to break when piercing the perforation in the top surface.

In a further preferred embodiment, the sanitary flap H1 is part of the carton and foldable via the foldable connection (also referred to as folding edge) f9 connected to a side surface, preferably with the side surface in which the pierceable area is located, so the top surface. In the folded state, the sanitary flap is inside the device, so that the pierceable area is covered. Another folding edge in the hygiene flap allows for a more comfortable insertion of the hygiene flap into the molded interior of the box. This further folding edge is advantageous because so the sanitary flap does not have to be bent unnecessarily strong and tensions in the assembled device can be avoided. This further fold edge may be located anywhere in the sanitary flap, but preferably at a distance of preferably 5 to 50% of the edge length of the open front surface of the foldable connection with the top surface, more preferably between 10 and 40%. The dimensions of the tabs are dimensioned so that the pierceable area of the top surface is covered so that the punctured spacer can not be contaminated. The length of the tab can correspond to the edge length of the top surface. Preferably, the length of the tab is between 100 and 160% of the edge length of the top surface, more preferably 140-150%, and the width between 80 and 100% of the edge width of the top surface, the shape of the tab preferably being adapted to the shape of the connected top surface. So a trapezoidal shape, which tapers from the foldable connection.

The top surface (D) of the device according to the invention may preferably have a recess or perforation (A) preferably in the middle of the edge facing the front, the perforation extending from said edge (Figure 3). Thus, therefore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side surface having the pierceable portion has a central edge of the side surface facing the open front surface toward the back surface. Recess or perforation (A), which serves to receive the telescopic spacer with the closure surface (V). That is, through this recess, the telescopic spacer with the closure surface (V) is guided to close the box and pulled out after closing. The recess or perforation preferably runs to the middle of the top surface, more preferably between 10% -40% of the side length (b) of the top surface (D), more preferably between 15% and 35% and most preferably between 20%. and 30% of the side length (b) of the top surface (D) long. The term recess as used herein refers to an incision in the material of the top surface having a defined depth or length as defined in the previous sentences so that the closure surface (V) can be inserted into the box at most to the depth or length of the recess. If a perforation is used instead of the recess, then two perforated or cut lines run in such a way that the previously mentioned recess results when the perforated region is cut out. In another preferred embodiment, a cut or easily separable perforation is used along the recess, leaving the strip of material of the top surface (D) which would be cut out in the manufacture of the recess but cut or severely perforated along the side edges, so that when sealing the box with the closure surface (V) of this material strip can be pressed by means of the telescopic spacer with attached closure surface (V) in the interior of the box. By this embodiment, the recess has no defined depth but the depth at which the closure surface is inserted into the box is variable because the cut or heavily perforated strip of material can be pushed into any position in the box without an opening in the top surface remains when the closure surface (V) is not inserted into the box to the full depth of the recess.

The recess or perforation (A or A1 and A2) is also present in the hygienic flap H 1 foldably connected to the top surface in order to allow insertion of the spacer with the closure surface. Advantageously, the recess or perforation in the hygiene flap (A2) in the dimension of the recess or perforation (A1) in the top surface. In this case, the recess on the side of the cover surface is designated A1 and the recess on the side of the hygiene flap A2. If the top surface and the hygiene flap are folded relative to each other, then the recesses A1 and A2 lie over one another and form the recess A.

The length of the recess depends, inter alia, on what volumes of excrements such as dog feces must be recorded, so it may also depend on the species or the breed. In the case of a larger breed of dog which deposits large quantities of faeces, a device according to the invention with a shorter cutout would therefore be preferred, whereas in the case of a smaller dog breed or in cats a longer cutout would be preferred. The width of the recess is chosen so that the telescopic spacer can be easily inserted into the recess and pulled out. The recess should be wider than the telescopic spacer, but not more than 20% wider than the diameter of the Spacer, and preferably about 10% wider than the diameter of the spacer in this area.

An only cut and / or perforated strip of material can also be combined with a shorter recess, so that the recess reaches to where the closure surface is introduced in any case and the further route is no longer cut but only cut or heavily perforated, so that a further optionally usable depth for the insertion of the closure surface results, which can be used but need not be used and within a variable range of the insertion depth of the closure surface (V) results in a tight closure of the box.

The convenient entrainment of the device according to the invention is made possible by the small dimensions of the device according to the invention. As e.g. different dog breeds sell different sized Kotmengen, different sizes of the box are conceivable. The device preferably has the following dimensions of the edges (a) (with square back surface a1 = a2 = a) the back surface (R) and the side edge (b): 4cm x 4cm x 4cm (dachshund variant); 7.5cm x 7.5cm x 7.5cm (German Shepherd variant); 0cm x 10cm x 10cm (Saint Bernard version). In addition, it is preferred if the open front surface (O) has at least the edge lengths of the back surface (R), thus resulting in a box in the form of a truncated pyramid. For a square front surface (O), it is preferable that c is 2 mm to 10 mm longer than a, more preferably 4 mm to 8 mm longer than a. In the case of a rectangular back surface (R), it is preferred if c1 is 2 mm to 10 mm longer than a1, more preferably 4 mm to 8 mm longer than a1 and / or c2 2 mm to 10 mm longer than a2, more preferably 4 mm to 8 mm is longer than a2.

A 5% to 30%, preferably 10% to 20%, larger front surface (O) with respect to the surface of the back surface (R) is preferred for ease of closure.

According to the invention the front surface (O) should be closable, which is ensured by a closure surface according to the invention closes the device by pinning. In this case, various embodiments of the box are conceivable. In a preferred embodiment, the top, bottom and both lateral surfaces taper from the front surface to the back surface (R) so that the edges adjacent the front surface (O) are all longer than those of the back surface (R). The four side surfaces (S1-S4) may be trapezoidal. In a further preferred embodiment, only the lateral surfaces (L1, L2) are trapezoidal, ie the edges adjacent to the front surface (O) are longer than those adjacent to the back surface (R), the top surface (D) and the bottom surface (B) being are rectangular. In a According to a further preferred embodiment, the top surface (D) and the bottom surface (B) are trapezoidal, ie the edges bordering the front surface (O) are longer than those adjacent to the back surface (R), the lateral surfaces being rectangular. The edge lengths (c) of the front surface (O) are preferably a total of 1-50% longer than the edge lengths (a) of the back surface (R), preferably 4-40%, more preferably 8-30%, and most preferred 10% - 20% longer than the edge lengths (a) of the back surface (R).

The shape of the device according to the invention can be realized by different folding patterns. In the unfolded, ie unfolded state, each face is connected to another face via an edge. Preferably, in the deployed state, the back surface is foldably connected to two opposite edges each with a side surface and one of these two connected to the back surface side surface via two opposite edges each with another side surface foldably connected (Figure 5 a). Here are in a preferred embodiment on the side surface without further side surfaces foldable connected adhesive surfaces whose edge lengths amount to about 10% of the edge lengths of the page. The said adhesive surfaces may be rectangular or trapezoidal, but preferably trapezoidal. The adhesive surface can be produced by double-sided adhesive tape, simple adhesive tape or by an adhesive coating, eg by spray adhesive. It is advantageous if the adhesive surfaces are covered by films that can be removed before folding the device according to the invention. Another possibility of the folding pattern is an embodiment in which the side surfaces are all foldably connected to the back surface (Figure 5b). In this embodiment, however, two opposing sides must have foldably connected adhesive surfaces in order to ensure the cohesion of the device according to the invention in the folded state. Another possibility of the folding pattern is an embodiment in which only one side surface is foldably connected to the back surface, two further side surfaces perpendicular to the back surface are foldably connected to the side surface adjacent to the back surface, and another side surface is connected to one of the side surface perpendicular to the back surface foldable connected (Figure 5c). A further embodiment is that a side surface is foldably connected to the back surface and on one side of this side surface, the further side surfaces are arranged one behind the other, wherein the side surfaces are foldably connected to each other (Figure 5d). In the two last-mentioned embodiments, a lateral adhesive connection is sufficient on one of the lateral surfaces. However, in these embodiments, the side surface of the side surface foldably connected to the back surface is required to have a foldable adhesive bond to it Have back surface to ensure the stability of the folded device according to the invention.

In a further preferred embodiment, the cohesion of the device is realized via at least one plug connection. This is realized by plugging a tab into a slot-shaped recess. The slit-shaped recesses provided for sticking a tab are referred to as AS (for example, as AS1) for discriminating from the recess A (A1 / A2). In a preferred embodiment, two side flaps are guided on the inside of a side surface to each other and then locked by pinning a guided over the side flaps mating surface. The side flaps are preferably located on side surfaces without further side surfaces. The edge lengths of the side flaps are preferably between 50 and 90% of the side surface edge length, more preferably between 65 and 85%, and even more preferably between 70 and 80%. The interconnected side surfaces are preferably the same size, but can also be different sizes. The shape of the side flaps is rectangular or trapezoidal, but preferably trapezoidal. The folding patterns according to FIGS. 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j and 5k are particularly suitable for the cohesion of the folded device according to the invention. In the folding pattern in FIG. 5e, there are two side flaps on opposite edges of the bottom surface B and on the top surface D. For holding the folded device, the side flaps on the foldable connections f5-f8 are likewise folded, guided on the inside of the lateral surfaces and Device by attaching the tabs of the foldable connections with the lateral surfaces of the connected mating surfaces in the slot-shaped recesses in the back surface R joined together. In this case, it is particularly preferred if, as in FIG. 5e, the folding pattern has a hygiene flap H1 foldably connected to the device, which is inserted into the shaped interior of the device after folding.

In folding pattern according to Figure 5f, the cohesion of the device is realized via a single plug connection. In this pattern, there is a respective side flap on the bottom surface B and the top surface D. For holding the folded device, the side flaps are folded at the foldable joints f15 and f16 also merged on the inside of the lateral surface L2 and the device by pinning the Tab F5 of the connected via a foldable connection with the lateral surface L2 plug surface C3 in the slot-shaped recess AS5 in the back surface R joined together. It is particularly preferred if the device as shown in Figure 5g a hygienic flap H1 foldably connected to the device which, after folding, is inserted into the molded interior of the device.

The assembly of the device according to the invention can also be realized via a plug connection on the outside of the device. In Figure 5h, the cohesion of the device is realized via a single plug connection. In this pattern, a side flap K5 with flap foldable with the bottom surface B and a side flap K6 with slot-shaped recess foldable with the top surface D is connected. For holding the folded device, the likewise folded side flaps are assembled on the outside of the lateral side surface L2 by inserting the tab into the one recess. The at least one tab or the at least one recess are preferably located in the middle of the edges of the side flaps opposite the foldable connection. Embodiments in which two, three or four tabs or recesses are present in the side flaps are also preferred. The length of the tab may be between 5 and 60% of the length of the side flaps, but preferably between 10 and 50% and more preferably between 20 and 40%. The shape of the tab is rectangular or trapezoidal, but preferably trapezoidal, as it can be easier to push in this shape in the recess. The position of the recess or the recesses in the side flap for inserting the tab is preferably between 10 and 40% based on the edge length of the side surface, more preferably between 15 and 35% and even more preferably between 20 and 30%. The width of the tabs and the recess are adapted to each other.

In this case, it is particularly preferred if, as in FIG. 5i, the device has a hygiene flap H1 foldably connected to the device, which is inserted into the molded interior of the device after folding.

In the folding pattern in Figure 5j, the assembly of the device according to the invention via two connectors is realized. In this pattern are two side flaps with flaps K5 and K7 on the bottom surface B and two side flaps K6 and K8 with slot-shaped recesses on the top surface D. For the maintenance of the folded device, the side flaps K5 and K6 on the outside of the lateral side surface L2 and the side flaps K7 and K8 brought together on the outside of the back surface R and inserted into each other. In this case, it is particularly preferred if, as in FIG. 5k, the device has a hygiene flap H1 foldably connected to the device, which is inserted into the molded interior of the device after folding.

Alternatively, the cohesion of the device can be realized by a Velcro connection. Particularly preferred are folding patterns, which result in a device according to the invention after folding, which does not require adhesive bonds and obtains stability only by plug connections. In these preferred embodiments, the device according to the invention consists of only one material, preferably cardboard. Also preferred are folding patterns of a piece of material, such as cardboard or cardboard, in which the sanitary flap H1 is included in the folding pattern. Furthermore, folding patterns are preferred which have at least one reinforced side surface S (or L1, L2, D, B). The reinforcement of a surface is achieved by doubling or tripling the material thickness of the surface, which in turn can be achieved by superimposed surface of the folding pattern.
