Definitions

  • the sector in which the invention falls is that of cleaning streets, parks or gardens, by removing undesirable materials from said surfaces with garbage collection instruments.
  • the present invention relates to an animal excrement collector, preferably and fundamentally for the collection of dog excrement, in order to prevent the droppings of these animals from remaining on public roads, parks or other places, or their owners and caretakers may have to pick them up in a bag by hand.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device that allows the collection of animal excrement quickly, directly, conveniently and hygienically, without the need for the animal caretaker to bend down and without coming into direct contact with the excrement; as well as reduce the bad smell during the collection.
  • Dog droppings are not only a hygiene problem within populations if users do not collect them properly; but also for the owner or caretaker of the animal, who is forced to bend down and pick up stools manually at ground level, even when they have mobility problems or they may cause disgust or repulsion.
  • Document GB2078096 describes a first stick that carries at its end a fixing system of a frame that has fixing means for a bag and a second stick that is provided at the end with a paddle. The user drags until the excrement is introduced into the aforementioned bag, without the need to bend down or have to grab it by hand.
  • Document ES1027252 describes a similar solution, in which both sticks are mounted on a kind of scissors, in which the frame with the bag and the pusher paddle are respectively mounted at both ends.
  • Document EP1035257 describes a device for collecting animal excrement that includes a first element in the form of a frame, which has means for fixing a plastic bag, which has at least one handle with a gripping mechanism for handling.
  • Said frame is made up of two C-shaped pieces facing each other and with the ends of their wings joined by an axis, so that said pieces pivot between them between an open position in which the webs of the C-shaped pieces are aligned, and a position in which the souls gradually close until they are adjacent to each other, so that when they close they trap the deposition of the animal.
  • the two pieces of the frame close when they rotate around a vertical axis, which means that the excrement is crushed between both pieces and, in principle, inside the bag.
  • the excrement is pushed inside the bag or it remains attached as a clamp that is automatically fixed when closed so that the excrement cannot come out once it is on.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a device for collecting animal excrement, having the features of claim 1. More specifically, the main feature of this invention is a device for collecting excrement that allows the bag to be closed, after use, without the risk of staining the frame and/or excrement coming out in the event of incorrect handling. In addition, the collector of the invention allows successive uses of the same bag in the same ride.
  • the device corresponding to the invention therefore presents a hygienic and easy use in the collection of excrement.
  • the bag can be kept closed, thanks to the fact that the device object of the invention is equipped with a locking mechanism in the closed position and thus, once the collection has been carried out, the user can transport the closed bag with the excrement in the bag itself. device until it reaches a wastebasket, also reducing bad odours.
  • the device of the invention can be loaded with several bags, up to 20 in a first prototype experimented by the inventor, which can be removed one by one as different animal depositions are collected. , without the remaining bags, or the device, getting stained when they are picked up or when they are closed. Finally, the device of the invention also allows the collection of pasty or semi-liquid stools, under the same conditions described.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the collector of the present invention in the open position, that is to say before starting the collection of the excrement deposited on the ground.
  • Fig. 2 represents a side view of the collecting device in the open position, that is to say before collecting.
  • Fig. 3 represents a side view, with certain parts sectioned by a vertical plane to better see certain interior components, of said collector in the closed position, after having collected some excrement in a hypothetical bag located in it.

  • This device includes a head (4) on which the aforementioned bag-holding frame (12) and the pusher paddle (10) are mounted.
  • This head (4) is provided with fixing means (21) for a handle or cane (2), or to grasp it with the hand, so that it can be moved by pushing it downwards so that, once positioned on top of the excrement, the paddle (10) sweep the floor and finally push it slightly upwards to end up inserting it into the bag (3). See Fig. 1.
  • the frame (12), in the operative position, is placed vertically or slightly inclined towards the side where the pallet (10) is located.

  • the frame (12) also has a vertical extension (11), which has an open hole at the top in which a spring (18) is housed and at the top it has a lateral joint (22) in which an arm (9) is fixed. which carries the pallet (10) at the opposite end in a position facing said frame (12).

  • a connecting rod (8) articulates which, at its opposite end, articulates at the point (14) of a rod (7) that is telescopically mounted on the extension (11) of the frame (12).
  • the head (4) is pushed downwards and the connecting rod (8) forces the blade (10) to sweep the ground while it approaches the frame (12) and at the end of its travel it drives its lower end up and inside the frame (12) to introduce the excrement deposited on the ground inside the bag (3) mounted on it.
  • the head (4) also includes a stem (7), vertically downwards, which is inserted into the extension (11) of the frame, with the possibility of telescopically moving with respect to it, with the opposition of the spring (18). Laterally, it also incorporates an articulation (14) for a connecting rod (8), which articulates at the opposite end to the arm (9) that incorporates the paddle (10) at the bottom, as explained above.
