Operating example 1
When the dog makes a poo, the handler opens the door and clips it into the scraper position. The user reaches inside and grabs the bag, retracts it and rolls it over the scraper. The arrangement is then placed next to the poo and the user presses the retract button while moving the device forward. The poo then retracts in the bag onto the scraper plate and into the bag. The bag then finally finds itself inside the housing where it is torn off the roll.
The arrangement will hook on the perforations of the bag as it is retracted that, which will rear it off from the roll. The bag is sealed with a twist motion inside the arrangement/device.
The door is opened manually or automatically by means of a button in the front of the poo. The door clips into a bottom position to also act as a "scraper" onto which the plastic bag/sheet will lie and in turn act as the conveyer belt. The scraper and/or scraper plate and/or conveyor plate moves in an anti-clockwise motion. There is a recess on top of the "door" where the user can get their fingers into to open and/or unlatch it.
The plastic bag/sheets is grabbed by the user and pulled out and placed over the scraper/door.
The roll of plastic sheets/bags is located directly under the carry handle of the product and the leash come out the front of the carry handle. The roll is mounted onto a motor that retracts the bag with the poo back into the product. As the bag retracts it will cause the perforations in the roll of plastic sheets/bags to tear and separate the sheet/bag from the roll.
When the user gets to a bin they can open the door and drop the bag in the bin. The door may also be closed manually.
The leash goes out the one end and the scraper is opened from the other end. This is to avoid the leash being in the way when picking up poo.
The arrangement include a button on either end of the handle where the user's thumb can access them easily. The arrangement includes a rechargeable magazine for the bags. The rechargeable magazine can hold 5 to 10 bags.
The arrangement includes a mini conveyor belt and/or scraper plate, which operates in an anti-clockwise manner and is adapted to scoop up/collect the excrements.
The covering/door means is adapted to be closed and/or opened automatically. The arrangement includes an electrical loading port to insert a charging device.
Thus the waste disposal arrangement according to the invention provides a method of removing waste which includes the steps
(a) of providing a housing having covering means or a door adapted to enclose a pet's excrement with a bag;
(b) of opening the covering means or door;
(c) of positioning the excrement or poo into the bag by means of the covering means or door;
(d) of closing the covering means or door; and
(e) disposing of the bag with the excrement. Referring to Figures 11 to 19, the waste disposal arrangement 10 according to a second embodiment of the invention includes
(a) a housing 12;
(b) covering means 14 located within the housing and adapted to enclose a pet's excrement with a bag in order to dispose of the excrement;
(c) a handle 16 attached to the housing 12 to enable a user to hold the housing 12; and
(d) attaching means 18 adapted to attach a pet's leash to the housing 12.
The pet generally is a dog. The size of the waste disposal arrangement 10 can be determined by the size of the pet or alternatively by the possible size of the pet's excrement.
The bag with the excrement can disposed of once including the excrement.
The bag can be made of plastics material, may be made of recyclable material, and may be made of disposable material. The bag folds around the bottom outside part of the housing 12.
The attaching means 18 includes a hook.
The covering means 14 includes an operating member 20 to operate the covering means 14.
The arrangement 10 includes bag storing means. The bags are manually or automatically inserted to the covering means 14.
The arrangement 10 includes a semi-automatic mechanism adapted to enable a user to operate the arrangement 10 easily. The semi-automatic mechanism requires that the user loads or draws the arrangement and activates the operating member, but that the remaining steps/procedures/operation are completed automatically.
The covering means 14 include teeth 22 which are closed by means of a spring. The plastic bags are attached on the outside of the "mouth" or "opening" as defined by the teeth 22.
The arrangement 10 can be produced of the following materials: metal, plastic, rubber, biodegradable materials, steel, aluminium and/or carbon fibre. Operating example 2
When the dog makes a poo, you adjust the operating member 20 and the covering means 14 opens up, you place the covering means over the poo and by adjusting the operating member 20 the covering means closes and the poo is inside the housing 12. You can leave the poo in the housing 12 until you get to the next garbage and then you pull at the plastic bag string provided with each bag and the bag will close with the poo inside. You adjust the operating member 20 to open the device to pull out the plastic bag with the poo and simultaneously a new plastic bag will come out and recover the inside of the housing 12. Thereby you never have to get your hands or the waste disposal arrangement 10 dirty. In other words a poo pick up on a leash. Thus the waste disposal arrangement 10 according to the invention provides a method of removing waste which includes the steps
(a) of providing a housing 12 having covering means 14 located within the housing 12 and adapted to enclose a pet's excrement with a bag;
(b) of opening the covering means 14;
(c) of positioning the covering means 14 with the bag over the excrement;
(d) of closing the covering means 14; and
(e) disposing of the bag with the excrement.
