Abstract
A receptacle for receiving containers of feces, for transport therein to a secondary receptacle such as a trash container, is provided. The receptacle includes a spring loaded opening, such that the opening may be held open without intervention of a person, and closed after receipt of a feces container therein. The opening may be opened under the influence of energy stored in the coil spring, such that the container(s) of feces therein may fall therefrom under the influence of gravity into the secondary receptacle. A pouch, formed on the exterior of the receptacle, may be configured to carry one or more containers for retrieval of feces thereinto.
Claims13
A receptacle for the placement of containers containing recovered animal feces for later disposal, comprising:
- a pouch capable of storing one or more containers and having a recloseable opening therein, the recloseable opening actuatable by a user between an open and closed position, wherein stored energy within the opening is capable of opening the recloseable opening upon a user actuation;
- and
- a releasable strap, said strap extending from an end of said pouch opposed to the location on said pouch of said recloseable opening;
- and
- whereby, a user, by grasping said releasable strap, may selectively actuate said recloseable opening and thereby enable said energy stored therein to open said opening, and allow any container received within said pouch to exit therefrom under the influence of gravity.
The receptacle of claim 9, further including a disposal holding member extending from the end of the receptacle distal to said attachment strap, said disposal holding member and said strap configured for releasable attachment to an animal lead.
A method of disposing of animal feces, comprising the steps of:
- securing at least one container, having animal feces therein, through a recloseable opening in a receptacle;
- reclosing the recloseable opening and in the act of reclosing storing energy therein;
- positioning the receptacle adjacent to a secondary receptacle, while positioning the reclosable opening adjacent to the bottom or the receptacle;
- and
- releasing the stored energy to open the recloseable opening an drelease the container into the secondary receptacle under the influence of gravity.
