Abstract
A device for the sanitary removal of the excrement of a dog or other pet from a pavement or similar surface, in the use of which a plastic or similar removal bag is supported upside-down on the device so that the bag opening can be advantageously placed in covering relation over the excrement and said opening is then drawn closed beneath the excrement, thereby transferring the excrement to a position within the bag and thus permitting its sanitary disposal.
Claims10
A device for removing dog excrement or the like from a surface comprising a bag for receiving said excrement preparatory to the removal thereof, a bag-holding member of a selected shape bounding an opening about which said bag is supported in inverted relation with an opening communicating into said bag being formed by said shape, a handle and means for connecting said bag-holding member and inverted bag in depending relation from said handle so as to facilitate the placement of said bag opening in surrounding relation to said excrement, and normally spread apart oppositely disposed double ended encircling closure means on said bag-supporting member mounted for closing movement into said opening of said member, whereby said bag opening is adapted to be closed about said excrement and thereafter inverting said bag provides a disposal enclosure for same.
A device for removing dog excrement or the like from a surface comprising an elongated handle, a member circumscribing an opening connected transversely of the depending end of said handle, an excrement removal bag having an operative open position cuffed in an inverted relation about said member so that the interior of said open bag is in communication with and forms an extension of said opening of said circumscribing member, and wire closure means operatively arranged on said circumscribing member for movement from clearance positions in opposing directions across said opening, whereby said bag opening is effectively closed by said wire closure means following the placement thereof in covering relation over said excrement.
In a device for enabling the separation and removal of excrement and the like from a surface, a member for positioning against the surface in encirclement about the excrement, a pair of oppositely disposed double ended wire-like elements mounted at one of each of their ends to said member and retained by said member in initial encircling relationship about the excrement, a handle connected with said member, and a slide in said handle for movement relative thereto and connected with the other ends of each of said wire-like elements to move said elements relative to each other in scissoring motion and to said member to close their encircling relationship and to move beneath the excrement to separate the same from the surface.
