Collapsible frame for ensnaring animal waste

A device for ensnaring animal waste comprising:

• a collapsible frame comprising a plurality of side members each connected at first and second ends to another one of said plurality of sides, said connection providing the connected side members to align adjacent to one another in a closed position and pivoted apart from one another in an open position, such that a polygon is formed where each of the pairs of sides is pivoted in the open direction and where the plurality of sides forms a stack where each of the pairs of sides is pivoted in the closed position;
• a flexible membrane placed over the collapsible frame and adapted to collect animal waste inside the frame when the frame forms a polygon;
• a slide member adapted to fit over said frame when said frame is in a closed position;
• and,
• a sheath adapted to fit over said frame when said frame is in the closed position.

A collapsible frame for positioning a flexible membrane used to collect animal waste comprising:

• a plurality of sides arranged to form a frame in the shape of a polygon, each two adjoining sides of said frame connected by a hinge permitting the adjoining sides to pivot away from each other in an open position and together in a closed position;
• wherein said frame, when all adjoining sides are in a closed position, align all sides of the frame to be substantially parallel and a length of the frame in the closed position is no longer than a length of the longest side;
• and,
• said frame further comprising a “C” shaped end portion adapted to secure a flexible membrane therein.
