Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel device and method for the retention of bags containing pet waste. The device is suitable for attachment to most types of pet leashes. The device consists of a single piece of material that is retained via friction to the leash, and which features a channel for the easy insertion and retaining of knotted bags of pet waste.
Claims19
A device for retaining bags containing pet waste which comprises:
- a single piece of material, angled along one axis on four points of the material, thus forming five planes;
- the outside planes of the material, planes one and five, of the device, which are in line with one another;
- the center plane of the material, plane three, which is raised above the outside planes but which runs parallel to the outside planes;
- the second and fourth planes of the material, which are angled relative to the other planes, and which raise the center plane to above the outside planes;
- a vacant space is created below the raised center plane;
- channels in the outside planes of the device and wherein a leash is inserted in one of the channels to pass through the vacant space and exit the other channels;
- gaps in the material of the device which join the outside of the planes to the channels through which the leash may be passed;
- and
- a tortuous channel running through the center plane of the material into which the bag being secured within the channel with knotted of the bag resting on a top surface of the center plane.

- a single piece of material, angled along one axis on four points of the material, thus forming five planes;
- outside planes of the material, planes one and five, of the device, which are in line with one another;
- a center plane of the material, plane three, which is raised above the outside planes but which runs parallel to the outside planes;
- second and fourth planes of the material, which are angled relative to the other planes, and which raise the center plane to above the outside planes;
- vacant space created below the center plane, and channels in the outside planes of the device through which a leash may be passed;
- gaps in the material of the device which join the outside of the planes to the channels through which the leash may be passed;
- a tortuous channel comprising a slot having a first portion that extends generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device, a second portion that extends from the first portion and generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device, a third portion extending from the second portion and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device, and at least a fourth portion extending generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device and adapted to retain a knotted bag containing pet waste, the tortuous channel running through the center plane of the material the bag being secured within the channel with knotted of the bag resting on a top surface of the center plane;
- wherein a leash is inserted in one of the channels to pass through the vacant space and exit the other channels to be secured to the device.
