Description

Excrement collector.

Object of the invention

The present invention refers to a excrement collector, specifically intended for collection of dog droppings, focusing their characteristics structural and functional in the fact that the collection of droppings are done without bending down and directly during the defecation of the animal itself, thereby avoiding dirt on the floor that could be left when collecting, by any other system, droppings.

Background of the invention

In Utility Model U 200003226 of the same applicant, describes a dog dropper, based on that structurally it is constituted from a mast whose upper end has a handle that facilitates manual operation of the mast or pickup itself, while a ring is articulated at its lower end relates to an internal rod that runs through the mast itself and which is linked to a drive element located at a intermediate height thereof, so that ring can occupy two limit positions, one operational and perpendicular to the mast, in order to allow the coupling of the mouth of a bag that is retained in the ring by arched arms lateral, and another position inoperative or folded on the own mast.

The inconvenience presented by this collector is that the inoperative position of the ring to which the bag is attached collection of excrement, requires means of retention in that inoperative position, which is the vertical arrangement parallel to the own mast, being those means constituted by elements magnetized that retain the ring in such an inoperative position, which on the one hand it requires in the majority of the times to make a manual drive to allow deployment or position Ring operation.

In addition, another drawback is that the element that acts on the folding and unfolding rod of the ring, it is located at an intermediate height of the mast, which is uncomfortable when carrying out operations on the element itself actuator

Description of the invention

The collector of excrement that is recommended, based on the aforementioned, presents as novelty the fact that the ring drive for folding and deployed is done from the handle area, and specifically through a conical trunk element which is sliding, so that in the down position of that conical element the unfolding of the ring occurs and therefore the achievement of its operational position for the coupling of the bag of excrement while in position raised, said trunk-conical element is retained by pressure inside an annular shoulder established in the own mast, with the particularity that such a conical element of drive is related to an internal rod that runs inside the mast and is linked to the corresponding system of hinge or ring joint, so that in the displacement in one direction or another of the conical element and so both of the rod, the folding and unfolding of the ring occurs, that is to say the inoperative and operative positions of the same.

In this case, to maintain the position Inoperative of the ring attached to the mast, a internal spring that is retained between a lower pin established in a rubber stud of the mast itself on the floor and the element that establishes the joint or hinge of the ring itself.

In this way, one more operation is achieved simple, comfortable and effective excrement collector itself, since it is not necessary to bend down to allow the ring from the inoperative position can later occupy the position operational, and in another case because the drive is performed from the area of the handle itself.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of that description, a set of drawings in where illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented the next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation corresponding to a side elevation view of the collector droppings object of the invention, in the inoperative position for the ring on which the collection bag of the faeces.

Figure 2.- Shows an elevation view lateral as in the previous figure, but in this case with the ring in the deployed position, that is to say in an operational situation to Receive the bag of excrement.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the Excrement collector of the invention is constituted from a mast (1) that incorporates a handle at its upper end (2), and in proximity to it an annular shoulder (3) that enters pressure in a movable trunk-conical body (4) up and down through a slot (5) established in the mast itself (1), so that to that body conical trunk or element (4) is linked a rod, cable or similar, that runs through the inside of the mast (1) and is linked to hinged means (6) for a ring (7) provided at the bottom of the mast (1), counting this in its lower end with a rubber block (8) for support on the ground.

The ring (7) has an appropriate diameter to adapt to the mouth of a collection bag dog droppings, this being retained by means of arched arms (9) that can be folded and deployed with respect to the ring (7) to retain the bag once placed on the mouth of the ring (7) or to release or even to allow its assembly on such ring (7).

According to these characteristics, when pulls up the conical trunk element (4), the unfolding of the ring (7) occurs and therefore the possibility of attaching on it a receiver bag of dog droppings, so that in that lifting position of the conical trunk element (4), it is retained when staying inside the annular shoulder (3) established in the upper end of the mast itself (1), since that element (4) pressurizes the annular shoulder (3) when it moves towards above. Now, when you want to move to the inoperative position or folded ring (7), in which case the device will be used like a cane, with its support through the block (8) on the ground, then the element will scroll down conical trunk (4), producing the folding of the ring (7), attached to the mast (1), position in which it remains retained by means of an internal spring established in the part bottom, and whose spring is located between a pin (10) corresponding to the area of the support block (8) and the means of hinge (6) or ring joint (7) with respect to the mast (one).

According to the above, it is Obviously the manipulation is done directly from the part upper mast (1) without bending down, so that to attach the bag to the mouth of the ring (7), you can perform without crouching, since it is enough to lift that end of the ring (7) and attach the bag and then place the mast (1) in the operating position, placing the ring (7) with the bag attached to it on the back of the animal or dog, causing the bowel movements to fall directly on the bag, whose mouth is logically set by the ring (7).

Claims (3)

1. Excrement collector, which being specifically provided to allow the collection of dog excrement directly in their defecations, without such excrement touching the ground, and constituting from a mast with a top end endowed with a handle and a lower end in which it is mounted articulated with the power to fold and unfold a ring to occupy a position attached to the mast or a position perpendicular to it for the coupling of the mouth of a bag receiving the excrement, it is characterized because on the upper section From the mast there is provided a means of actuating the lower coupling ring of the bag of excrement, for the folding and unfolding of said ring, said actuation element being constituted by a trunk-conical body movable upwards and downwards to through a slot, with the power to be retained by an annular shoulder of the upper end of the mast, in the lifting position of said trunk-conical element, corresponding to the deployed position of the lower ring. 2. Excrement collector, according to claim 1, characterized in that the truncated conical drive element for folding and unfolding the coupling ring of the excrement receiving bag is linked to a rod, cable or the like, which runs through the inside the mast and is linked to the hinge or joint means of the ring itself to the mast. 3. Excrement collector, according to previous claims, characterized in that the lower end of the mast has a support block on the ground, allowing its use as a cane in the folded position of the ring, through which block is a transverse pin of retention of an internal spring that at its other end is linked to the hinge or articulation element of the ring itself to keep it in the folded position for it.
