Description

DESCRIPTION

Pet hygiene accessory.

Technical object of the invention

The present invention relates to an accessory, in the form of a water gun, intended for the projection of liquid for sanitation of soils affected by pet urine. The gun includes other functions because, in addition to the main function, it is used for mooring by means of a strap incorporated inside it and a safety ring to engage at will of another belt. It also includes two small dispensing containers; one for reward treats and one for plastic bags used to collect pet feces. The gun has two projection triggers, one for small doses of water and the other, on the handle itself, for more powerful jet emission.

Sector of the technique to which the invention relates

The invention presented affects, on the one hand, the Sector of Current Needs of Life in its section of Personal or Domestic Objects and on the other the Sector of Various Industrial Techniques in its section of Spraying in general; application of liquids or other fluid materials to surfaces in general, of the International Patent Classification (CIP). From the industrial point of view it affects the sector of manufacturers of accessories for pets and tools for their control and cleaning of depositions.

Background of the invention

The reason for developing inventions aimed at cleaning the different emissions of pets on public roads is, in addition to elementary civic and hygienic reasons, compliance with the ordinances that are published by the authorities responsible for Health in Autonomous Communities, municipalities and others Local Entities

Thus, the Department of Urban Ecology of the City of Valencia has announced that the new Cleaning Ordinance, which is being prepared, will incorporate the obligation for dog owners to take charge, as it already happens with excrement, to wash with Water the area where animals urinate.

In Castellón de la Plana, a Municipal Ordinance on the possession of companion animals has been in force since January 2003, which, in Article 22 says, regarding defecations:

"People who drive dogs and other animals should prevent them from depositing their bowel movements on sidewalks, walks, gardens and in general in any place dedicated to the traffic of pedestrians.

... the animal's driver is obliged to collect and remove the excrement even having to clean the part of the public road that would have been affected by releasing the deposits in a hygienically acceptable way by means of waterproof bags and depositing the excrements inside the perfectly closed waterproof bags the paper bin."

And in Chapter 1 of Offenses, Article 60, of minor offenses says:

"The following shall be considered minor infringements in the area of non-potentially dangerous animals:

1.- Do not take appropriate measures to prevent pets from dirtying public roads or spaces. "

In an October 2013 awareness campaign of La Vall d'Uixó (Castellón), an ordinance is announced that, with the motto, on the clean street who dirties, says:

"Owners who do not clean" with urine and vinegar "the dogs' urine will be fined."

It is understood that this has been the origin of many initiatives that have been embodied as inventions in the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office based on others that describe water gun-type solutions or product spraying and spraying devices:

There are many registered inventions among which, by way of example, we cite the following:

- ES-2275202 T3 Device for dispensing a liquid

- ES-1022102 U Ergonomic sprayer with trigger and corresponding manipulator - ES-0263832 Al Compression sprayer

- ES-1155734 U Extensible dog leash with sprayer and bag dispenser

- ES-0330541 Al Compressed air spray gun

- ES-0463270 Al Sprayer with trigger trigger

- ES-2010166 T3 Spray gun

- ES-2593408 T3 Gun and procedure equipment for modular spraying All of them describe various types of spraying for the purpose of spraying water, paint or any other fluid, some with compressed air operation. The one indicated in fourth position ES-1155734 U, describes a solution very close to that presented in this document with a very small capacity water tank and a single trigger.

Many solutions are also known, of the toy type, which are limited to the projection of water in small quantities and little pressure for the entertainment of children.

That is why the inventors, who have conceived the device that is now proposed, consider that it is a novel, very complete tool that will be attractive, effective and comfortable for all pet owners.

Summary Description of the Invention

The present invention, as set forth above, relates to an accessory, in the form of a water gun, intended for the projection of liquid for cleaning and sanitation of the soils affected by pet piss.

The gun has an irregular and rounded prismatic shape that resembles the usual retractable straps with ergonomic handle.

Its main components are as follows:

- Deposit housing

- Filler cap

- Trigger

- Lever

- Group of bowlers

- Projection nozzle

- Retractable strap

- Second strap hitch

- Reward candy dispensers bags for excrement collection - Transparent window

- Others

The tank housing is intended to contain the cleaning liquid, in principle water, although additives that accelerate or favor cleaning can be used. To achieve greater capacity, two lateral protrusions are arranged.

The filling plug, threaded, is at the top.

In an existing internal window in front of the handle there is a trigger for one-finger operation and in the handle itself there is a handle for full-hand operation allowing the projection of liquid with greater energy and flow.

Water projection is achieved by a group of three bowlers. One of them associated with the trigger and the other two associated with the handle.

A reel belt reel, about five meters, is installed inside the housing, with a front exit from the top, leaving a pickup ring.

There is also a safety carabiner hook where the person in charge of the pet can hook a second leash of greater length or different technical resistance properties

On a lower level, on the front part of the accessory, the projection nozzle with adjustable screw cap is mounted.

On one of the sides of the housing in front of the corresponding protuberance, a reward candy dispensing container is installed and on the opposite side, displaced in height, to make them compatible, another plastic bag container destined for the collection of excrement and subsequent transport to bins or dumps.

For the proper control, by the user, of the amount of water available in the accessory of the invention, the housing has a vertical window in transparent material.

Finally, several complementary elements are available in the form of water outlets and air inlets.

The following sections include explanatory figures of the pet hygiene accessory and a description of the preferred embodiment by its inventors.

Detailed explanation of an embodiment of the invention

Pet hygiene accessory (Figs. 1 to 5) that refers to an accessory, in the form of a water gun, intended for the projection of liquid for cleaning and sanitation of the soils affected by the pet urine that it has, in addition to other accessories also related to pets.

It is shown as a prismatic utensil with a reservoir housing (1) for water, with or without additives that facilitate cleaning and side shell protrusions (1.1), to increase the capacity of the device. The liquid is charged by means of a plug (2), threaded. In a central position, close to the part destined to the placement of the hand, there is a recess where the presence of a trigger (3) of which are handled with a finger is observed, usually the index finger and in vertical position there is a handle (4) that moves by applying pressure with the whole hand.

The trigger (3) acts on the trigger cylinder (12) causing the projection of liquid through the nozzle (5), located in the upper front part of the accessory. This nozzle has a threaded capsule that allows total closure or a gradual graduation of the emitted jet. When the user who wears the accessory wants a more powerful emission of liquid, he must act by pressing the handle (4) that simultaneously affects the handle cylinders (13) causing the projection of liquid through the same nozzle (5) although achieving a scope and especially a cleaning effect much greater than that produced by acting on the trigger (3).

For the control of the pet, during periodic walks, the accessory has a strap (14) wound in a retractable mechanism, accessible from the outside by means of the ring (6) that can be replaced by a carabiner or any other similar device.

The belt (14), which is automatically collected by simply pressing the button (7), is approximately 5 meters long. In some cases, that length may be considered insufficient by the user. In anticipation of this circumstance, there is a hitch (8) where you can link the ring of any other belt of greater length for which it is sufficient to press on the spring bar that closes the hitch device (8) functioning as a carabiner

In addition, the accessory of the invention has two dispensing containers; one containing plastic bags (15), located on the left side of the housing (1), whose lid (9), with the capture hole (10), is represented in (Fig. 2) and the other , located on the right side of the housing (1), whose lid (9.1), with the collection door (10.1), is represented in (Fig. 4) schematically showing the plastic bags (15) and the treats (15.1) in (Fig. 3). This same figure also shows schematically the arrangement of the different elements inside the housing (1) with the pipes (16) for the circulation of liquid and air inlet.

It must be taken into account, by the caretaker user of the pet, that during the turns of walks you have to keep the mouthpiece (5) closed to avoid unwanted water or liquid leakage as frequent pet pulls through the leash they can cause involuntary actuation of the lever (4) and associated lever cylinders (13).

The accessory of the invention has a window (11) that allows checking at all times the amount of liquid available.

Finally, in (Fig. 5) another preferred embodiment by its inventors is represented, which, although it contains the same elements of the first embodiment described above, has a more attractive rounded design of the housing (1) with casing protuberances (1.1) of less capacity and consequently lower total capacity.

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description more extensive so that a person skilled in the art can understand the scope and the advantages derived from the invention, thus developing and carrying out the object of the same. However, it should be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, whereby it may be susceptible to modifications without affecting or implying any alteration of the basis of said invention. That is to say, the terms in which this preferred description of the invention has been exposed should always be taken in a broad and non-limiting manner.
