Description

A HAIR COLLECTOR WITH VACUUM FUNCTION

Technical Field

The invention relates to a hair collector with vacuum function that cleans the hair of furry animals without spreading it into the environment where it is cleaned and without contaminating their owner.

Prior Art

The hair of all animals such as cat, dog, rabbit, etc. that are fed indoors is a common problem of all animal lovers. Anyone who feeds cats, dogs, etc. suffers from hair shed on the environment. In the products in the state of the art, comb, brush, comb and glove equipment with comb are used by combing/rubbing/ collecting the hair to get rid of the hair. However, the hair of the animals combed with these equipment still contaminates the environment and the person combing it. In addition, it is necessary to use these equipment outside, not indoors. Because when animals are combed with the equipment in question, the combed hair is spread around again.

Animal owners are too lazy to go out to comb their animals and even when they comb their animals outside, the hair sticks to their hands, face and clothes.

In the state of the art, the products in the links below are gloves and the animal's hair is collected with gloves. However, although the products in question collect animal hair, since the animal is combed outside, the hair or fur contaminates the environment or the clothes of the person combing. httos ://www.venimiveni.com/urun/evcil-havvan-tuv-toplama-eldiveni https://urun.n11 com/kedi-bakim-ve-saalik/pet-aloves-kedi-kopek-tuv-toplama-eldiveni-saa-ve- sol-el-P273886326

In order to turn these disadvantages into an advantage in the products in the state of the art, there is a need for products that do not contaminate the animal owner while combing the hair of the animals, do not spread it around while combing, and enable to comb the hair without changing the location. Summary of the Invention:

The object of the invention is to produce a hair collector that cleans the hair of animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, etc., without contaminating the clothes of the person combing it and without spreading to the environment where it is cleaned.

The hair collector according to the invention has a vacuum function. In addition, the hair of any animal that is large enough to fit into the volume of the collector is easily cleaned. On the other hand, the hair collector is also produced in different sizes to accommodate animals such as cats and dogs of all sizes.

The hair collector of the invention is a product that does not contaminate the owner of the animal while combing the hair of the animals and does not spread it around while combing, as well as allows the hair to be combed without changing the location.
