The invention relates to underwear for small animals, with a storage for a disposable excrement collector, consisting of underwear (1) with means that allow it to be placed on the rear of the animal, by means of adjustable straps (2) that extend across the belly, such that the animal wearing the underwear can relieve itself inside a disposable transparent collector (3) attached in a non permanent manner around the edge of the lower opening (4) contiguous to the upper opening (5).

Description

"LARGE ANIMAL CLOTHING FOR SMALL PORTS WAITING FOR DISPOSABLE COLLECTOR"

It addresses the present patent application for a new "CLOTHING! FOR SMALL HANDS WAITING FOR DISPOSABLE CATCH", especially an article of clothing for small animals, preferably dogs and cats, the highlight of which is dressing ! only its intimate area, so that excrement such as faeces and urine is naturally collected in a disposable collection device, fixed non-definitively around the animal's genital area.

In general, the innovation will be applied in the pet shop segment, as already mentioned, in dogs and cats, but not limited to them, but also to all others with a similar anatomy.

Families are increasingly buying pets, but care must be taken to promote harmonious and hygienic coexistence with humans, not only as regards owners, but also with third parties. that share the same space.

Basically, a rule of good living that must be carried out is daily walks that are intended to compel animals to release energy, thereby inducing them to meet their needs. In this situation, it is necessary that the feces are collected immediately from public roads, this action that in most cities is part of the organic law, which considers the owner ^'or animal portadqr responsible for the removal of excreta. The present state of the art includes some patent documents dealing with excrement collectors after being effected by the animal in which direct action by the driver is required, such as PI 0703941-7 comprised of a reservoir, a tilting movable lid, a cable, a handle and a trigger trigger.

The conformation of this type of collector presents some problems, such as the collection of animal feces will occur in the reservoir only if the animal's conductor is aware of the exact moment when the animal makes its physiblogical needs, since the reservoir must necessarily be placed below the anus and as soon as the trigger to open the lid has to be triggered, which is not always practical; it's possible. It is also a negative point that the animal's driver should take the device on his ride with the animal and due to its volume brings a natural discomfort, without guarantee of feces capture. This solution takes the driver's attention to the detriment of the animal.

Still in the same inventive concept the PI 070802-3 deals with a canine stool collector, already comprised of a handle, an inclined rod and a ring with four welded hooks, [where a disposable plastic bag passing through the rim of the even on the hooks that make up the ring, where the animal's feces will be collected before they fall to the ground. If that is the case, the animal handler will bring the plastic bag close to the evacuation channel at the moment the defection process begins. After the collection operation is completed, the plastic bag is removed and discarded in an appropriate place.

The above document in its essence has similar flaws to the first document cited above, in spite of the fact that the feces capture will only occur at a concomitant moment the accomplishment of the physiological needs of the animal, if otherwise the stools may fall to the ground and even stain the edge of the plastic bag causing some inconvenience. The driver is conditioned to closely observe the animal during the ride taking away from him the freedom and pleasure to be with your animal. It is still a setback that the elderly and people with special needs do not have the reflection that is required to use this collector model. The animal at the moment of making its feces has a good chance of being frightened by the driver's attempt to place something just below its evacuation channel to capture its feces, often causing it to retreat, interrupting the process. It can even cause health problems.

In short, known collector models are manual and so-called automatic collectors require manual intervention by the driver to collect animal feces, not even being assured that the feces will not fall to the ground and the driver will not have to. clean the public roads.

The present state of the art also anticipates some patent documents dealing with articles for the collection of excrement such as faeces, urine or estrus derivatives that work like a diaper as illustrated in PI 0305900-6 "Disposable Veterinary Diaper". Consisting of an outer layer of polyethylene, glued with rice-based glue, under a layer of filtering fabric, interleaving the elastics responsible for sealing the diaper on the animal's thigh, and also interleaving an absorbent pad layer with gel flakes. , responsible for the conversion of excreted liquids into gelatin, presenting a hole for the passage of the tail of the animal.

Aware of the state of the art, its shortcomings and limitations, the inventor, concerned with social welfare and the environment, after observations and studies, created the "SMALL CLOTHING FOR ANIMALS WITH WAIT FOR DISPOSABLE LEAF COLLECTOR "in question, fixed directly to the body of the animal and provided with a slot for the passage of its tail, plus a specific wait for the non-definitive attachment of a disposable collector for the natural capture of feces and, in some cases, urine, as such a collector will be strategically trapped in the garment between the tail and anus for stool capture and between the urinary tract for urine capture, enabling automatic and accurate collection without driver intervention , which will not be embarrassed during the tour.

Urine collection will be possible in all females and only small males, due to their anatomical shape, but not desirable in the latter due to their need to mark territory. Urine collection is a plus of the invention, given that in everyday life this physiological need is not a hindrance, but there will be situations / moments that the urine collector applies to, such as laboratory test collection, on rainy days that prevent the departure for the tour, among others. It will also be possible to collect large male urine for laboratory examination.

Because the stool collector is transparent it will make it possible to visualize the stool and urine, as it is extremely important to be following the visual aspect to check, for example, for stool bleeding or urine.

The clothing in question may be made to suit various breeds and sizes of animals, including those with similar anatomical characteristics, such as horses. The material to be used is light, soft, comfortable and animates it; ^* After making your stools, you can continue with underwear normally on the body, as it is decorative and comfortable. In summary, the invention claimed herein has the most predominant advantages, among others:

> There will be no interference from the handler in the process of cleaning or collecting the animal feces, which will only remove the collector and after closing it will dispose of it to a trash. Female urine collection will occur in the same way as feces;

> Public roads will be cleaner for passers-by;

The automatic collection of feces and urine will favor the elderly and people with special needs, especially the blind, since today your guide dog travels in various public places, such as shopping, buses and other places, without any protection for collection. feces and urine. With the day to day the animal will get used to walk with this collector underwear, associating it with something nice, as happens today with the collar.

Great solution for breeding animals in apartment and places with reduced or non-existent outdoor area, where hygiene is guaranteed by underwear so avoiding undesirable excrement odors;

> The collection of feces and urine for laboratory tests is performed in an appropriate and safe manner ensuring an accurate and reliable result, since the material remains free of contaminants;

> On rainy and cold days the driver has the option of not going out with his animal to do the physiological needs, just put the collector on the animal at the usual time of the ride and supervise, because the collector removal must occur soon after;

> The disposable collector in an intimate outfit also allows you to wrap the animal in long trousers, for example, or with other pieces of clothing. PET clothing and even rain gear, ie the animal will be dressed comfortably and protected without interfering with the functionality of the collector;

> The traffic of animals in some places, such as buses, restaurants, subway, among others is generally prohibited, which is not valid for visually impaired people whose guide dogs making use of the feces and urine collector attached to an intimate clothing become walk more protected, avoiding soiling these areas and although the driver does not see the moment of the physiological need, third parties can easily remove and close and discard the collector, as there will be no manual contact;

Drivers will be embarrassed to carry unwanted plastic bags that harm the environment and / or newspapers to remove feces from public roads, showing environmental, social awareness and concern for public health;

> Urban areas will become more pleasant, because today not all drivers, due to embarrassment or lack of awareness, collect the feces of the animal on public roads, and with this collector the rulers will be able to implement a stricter policy of cleaning;

> Public health will benefit from the reduced proliferation of disease vectors from insects and bacteria resulting from faeces on public roads;

> Easy fitting or removal of underwear and collector;

> Possibility of creating various models of underwear;

> The very concept claimed in this underwear can be extended to other types of clothing, such as shorts, swimwear, panties, long pants, shorts, gardener among others; > Elderly and physically handicapped people find it difficult to clean public roads, especially those with visual problems,

Puppies should not leave the environment where they live before the application of some vaccines, the invention will prevent the animal subjected to this environment, in contrast the animal will get used more easily to clothing (because it is a puppy);

In the following, the invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which they are illustrated by way of illustration and not limitation:

The "SMALL UNDERWEAR WITH SMALL WAITING FOR DISPOSABLE COLLECTOR" object of this Patent Application consists of an underwear (1) with features that enable its placement in the posterior region of the animal by means of handles ( 2) adjustable transverse abdomen, so that the animal can wear its physiological needs after wearing it inside a transparent disposable collector (3) fixed non-definitively around the lower tear (4) adjacent to the supefitfr (5).

More particularly, the underwear (1) claimed in a preferred embodiment makes up a perimeter "T" design of which front end (6) derives orthogonal straps (7) which are adjustable thanks to known fasteners such as pushbuttons (8) or velcro, which make it possible to lock it when meeting the rear end (9) when carried to the back of the where there is the same type of fastener, ie pushbutton (8). For this, it is necessary to make two juxtaposed slots, in which both the upper tear (5) and the lower tear (4) have pushbuttons (10 and 11), or other known fastener that work with straps. (12) Also fitted with the same type of fasteners, which together make the non-definitive attachment of the transparent disposable collector (3) which may receive faeces or urine.

For; the placement of the underwear (1) on the animal's body requires first the tail and urinary tract through the upper tear (5) for fecal collection or the lower tear (4) for urine collection, to then attach it in the abdomen. Thus, when it is necessary to capture the feces the fixation of the collector (3) occurs in the push buttons (10) so that the anus is concentric the opening of said collector (3). Already the capture of urine of females and smaller males the fixation of the collector (3) occurs in the push buttons (1 1) so that the anus. In this context, the pushbuttons 10 and 11 allow the driver to adjust the setting according to the physical variations of the animals.
