Abstract

The device to which the invention relates makes it possible for material, for example dog excrement, to be picked up repeatedly with one set of gripper tongs, without already picked-up material falling out in the event of a repeated gripping process.

Description

Device for receiving receiving material, in particular dog waste, with a retaining device

description

Discarded dog waste must be removed from the owner.

In order to remove the dog excrement, small lifting devices are often used, the two brackets of which are e.g. be moved by a tension spring F to each other. Fig.1

The dog owner moves the brackets with the gripping Ge by means of the handles G

A put over the bracket bag B takes the droppings and will be disposed of later.

Such dog boobs are e.g. also in the applications DE10210691,

DE9010808, DE29704534 and DE3301761

The disadvantage of all such published or on the market

Constructions is the following. If it is not possible to grasp the whole feces with a gripping action, then the whole faeces disposal action has failed.

Because a renewed follow-up would mean that droppings already in the bag fall down again out of the bag.

Thus, the only option left to the owner, either to use a second bag, or to record the rest of the droppings by hand, but what do not appreciate the use of such bags.

This could not really prevail so far these ironing devices, although they are very good for use during a

Walk are suitable.

The object of this invention, therefore, is to provide a possibility that the owner can access multiple times using the same bag without dropping already collected feces.

It must therefore be created a second chamber K2, in which the collected feces remains safe until more feces is added. Fig. 2 The separation of the chambers K1 and K2 is e.g. accomplished by two overlapping cross struts Q.

To achieve more barrel volume, the shape of the lifter could look like Figure 3, 4, and 5. In Figure 3, the two gripping ends are close together and close that

Lifting device downwards. The two cross struts Q overlap and separate

Chamber K1 of chamber K2.

In Figure 4, by squeezing the handles G on half of the

Stretch, the straps open so far that a detection of feces is possible.

If faeces are detected in chamber 1, the whole lifting device is turned Fig. 6, at the same time the handles G are further compressed to the end position, so that the faeces in chamber 1 falls into the chamber 2. Fig.7

Thereafter, the stirrups are closed again as in Fig.4, so that more feces can be absorbed from the ground without feces escaping from the chamber 2. In the position as shown in Figure 5, the device can be used very well to insert a new empty bag, for the first time to collect faeces with a maximum open bow; and to remove the filled with faeces bag from the Aufhebegerät.

The used bag B Fig. 8 are in shape and texture of the

Adjusted lifting device so that they e.g. As far as possible, line the lifting device in Fig. 5.

The bags also have a lower Umschiand UR, which is beaten on the strap. This Umschandand UR has in turn at its outer edge on an incorporated cord K, so that the bag after the end of

Kotsammeivorganges, by tightening the cord K can be closed well. Fig. 7 and Fig. 8

Thereafter, the Umschiagrand UR is also pushed into the Aufhebegerät.

But it can also be used normal rectangular flat bag, but they must be so stable that they are not injured by the cross struts. The cross struts must be designed by shape, surface and distance to each other so that they do not hurt the bag in the different positions.

Since the lift on all exterior walls has solid walls, so that it is firmly closed on all sides in the position as in Figure 3, this means that there is now a touch-safe, protected, odor-resistant plastic bag with feces in a lift with solid closed walls ,

This design allows the dog friend a comfortable carrying the dog excrement, if a disposal site is not immediately accessible. The unpleasant experience of carrying the collected feces is nevertheless a frequent reason for not collecting the feces dar. the whole device is still placed in a large bag, which is worn by the dog owner by means of shoulder strap, and still contains other items needed for the walk with the dog, e.g. Dog leash, treats etc.

The rigid "anonymizing" lifter may be of any conceivable solid material (e.g., metal, wood, fiberglass, etc.), but preferably of a suitable lightweight but rigid plastic. This also ensures easy cleaning, as well as a variety of ways of carrying (e.g., attached velcro straps, crab hooks, belt attachments, shoulder straps, etc.)

The device is usually, especially when it comes to detecting the feces with one hand to use, which is advantageous because with the other hand often the dog must be kept on a leash.

It is also advantageous if the Aufheberät in the position as in Fig. 5 can be locked, for better insertion and removal of the bag.

There are various possibilities for the design of the transverse struts. It is important that in the semi-open position of the device, where even more feces can be taken with the gripper ends, the feces does not fall from chamber 2 in chamber 1. That means the cross braces have to be in the

Close the moment for sure.

With completely closed gripping arms, the cross struts are then brought together even more densely. At this moment, you must not get caught in each other and on the other hand, the inserted bag should not be damaged.

In addition, the squeezed in this moment bag must later unfold again to accommodate more feces.

The easiest way is when the cross braces when fully closing the

Grasping, overlapping move past each other. Fig. 2

On the other hand, a single transverse strut Q, e.g. By means of a spring Fe vorschiebbaren part V possess, the chambers K1 and K2 even at half open

Position completely separated from each other. Fig. 9

Or the cross strut Q pivots depending on the position of the gripper arms on her

Fixing point B. Fig. 10. For this purpose, the attachment point B, for. mechanically connected to the handles G through a connecting piece V.

However, these methods have the disadvantage that the bag may be more likely to be injured or it may be difficult to empty the filled bag.

Therefore, it would be even better that the cross braces Q not firmly anchored to the

Inside the device are mounted, but that enters a kind of slider S from the outside through a slot Seh in the interior of the Kotaufnehmevorrichtung.

The movement of the slider S is coupled e.g. to the movement of handles G.

Fig. 11,12,13 and 14 (side view)

In the closed form as in Fig. 13, the slider S with his

End piece St push out beyond the handle end, but with e.g. a spring F the

Pressure on the slide maintains, so that feces are no longer from chamber 2 in

Chamber 1 may fall.

The slider S could be moved independently by the user even with the second hand, without having any connection to any other part of the device.

This construction allows easy insertion of the bag B and easy orientation of the filled Kotaufnahmevorrichtung, since there are no more annoying cross struts.

Feces in chamber 1 falls in inverted device easily in chamber 2, since the bags are quickly pressed by the weight of the feces back to the wall, and are not bulged by cross struts.

It is also possible that the construction has on its side a on a fixed cross-brace Q and additionally on its side b a slider S. This would allow a smooth overlap with completely closed device, but on the other hand allow a prolemhless emptying of the device because of the Side b of the device a slight slipping of the bag is possible. Fig. 15,16,17 and 18 Nevertheless, it could be advantageous to easily secure the pouches in place at one or the other point inside the device to ensure a secure fit

Stop, or a deployment of the bag absolutely safe to guarantee.

It would be conceivable sticking, since there are plastic bag with abziehberer adhesive film.

Or the bag is carefully attached to small brackets or protrusions etc in the

Anchored construction.

Thus, when loading the bag B into the device, e.g. an insertion into one

Spalt Sp conceivable, which closes in the usual movements, but opens again when the final opening of the device for emptying. Fig. 19

Generally, the bags will tend to be very large and sturdy to prevent injury and overstretching by cross struts, sliders and gripping ends.

It would also be possible to have a construction as in Fig. 20, where a fixed housing FG e.g. has the shape of a cuboid or cylinder, lined also by an inserted flat bag B.

At the lower opening of the cuboid is a flap K, which is withdrawn by the dog owner and then by means of a built-in spring F, the opening again closes.

J3 cylinder is placed over the droppings with the flap pulled back, and when released, the flap hurls the feces lying on the floor into the interior of the cylinder.

The cross struts can be replaced in this case, by a externally operated by a slot Seh slider S.

After opening the slide S and turning the cylinder, the feces fall into chamber 2, then the slide is closed again by the dog owner, etc.

So that the dog owner does not have to bend much, an operation of the flap K would also be possible by foot contact, the second foot stabilized by placing it on the cylinder the whole device. Or the stabilization is done by pressing with the hand, and the release of the flap by the toe. Or the box is placed on the floor by means of a telescopically extendable rod Sta mounted on the upper end, so that the dog owner does not have to bend down at all. Or the device is lowered to the ground by means of a cord fastened at the top

There are also known Kotaufheber, which consist of two brackets Bü, which bring together by compressing the grip ends Ge, so that the feces passes into the bag pushed over. This construction has the advantage that the user can decide with which force he brings together the grip ends Ge. After releasing, the straps would be pushed apart by a spring F. Fig. 21

If transverse struts Q or slide S are also installed in this construction, the user can decide by hand pressure how far he can open the stirrups so that faeces can also be stored safely in chamber 2. Of course, even with this construction could be dispensed with entirely on the cross member Q, and only one slider be present, which always presses by means of a spring FeS towards the opposite side.

Only when the owner withdraws the slide, the boundary between chamber K1 and chamber K2 is opened.

Of course, some functions such as the gripping, actuation of the slide, etc. electrically operated conceivable.

Another very advantageous version of a Kotaufhebers would look like that the retaining chamber K2 is not located above the chamber K1, but that the retaining chamber K2 is in the filling direction laterally to the chamber K1. Fig. 22 This would mean an even safer and easier retention of the feces. It would also have the advantage that the Kotaufheber with the gripping Ge each time can be opened at most wide, even if filling material is already in chamber K2.

The two chambers are separated by a sliding slide S or by a fixedly anchored cross member Q. The slider S has the advantage over a cross member Q that it can be easily pulled out after filling the bag B, so that the entire bag B slightly out of the Kotaufheber can be evacuated.

Of course, this type of construction would be with two side-by-side chambers, even in other constructions such as e.g. in Fig. 20 and Fig. 21, applicable.

Q1

It is important, of course, that if you use a slide S, this is not over the lower edge of the gripping Ge, so that when you pick up the feces, the device as close to the ground as possible slides over the ground Fig. 23 (the same, of course, for a fixed Cross strut Q) The slider S could be designed so that it locks with its end Se straight plan into the gripping Ge, and then by slight back pressure or twisting when needed can be retrieved (similar to when a smart card is inserted into a camera) ,

A problem of the device could be that it does collapse or

Turning the inside bag B comes.

It would be best if the device were therefore e.g. at the corners E

Clamping devices would have, to which the bags are fixed immediately when inserting. These must be operable from the outside, so that they at the final

Emptying the bag from the device can be easily solved.

It may thus be e.g. to external clasps Kl or others

Clamping devices act, or simply, for example, around holes L, in which the bag is trapped by pushing a tip of the bag by means of a slide Seh. It would also be conceivable, for example, a light liquid film on the outer surface of the bag, which then adhere to the inner wall of the device.

Or on the bag B can be worked on the outside of its bottom strips, which are passed through the holes L and then knotted together outside the device.

G2

It must therefore be created a second chamber K2, in which the collected feces remains safe until more feces is added. The separation of the chambers K1 and K2 is e.g. is accomplished by two overlapping transverse struts Q, as described in DE 102006 036 141.5. Fig 2 The device should be light, e.g. be carried in the coat pocket and therefore not be too big. In order to create enough space for the accumulated Kotmengen, the inner volume is designed so the maximum amount of content can be recorded. Fig. 24 and Fig. 25

A very advantageous version of a Kotaufhebers would look like in

DE 10 2006 036 141.5 described that the retention chamber K2 is not above the

Chamber K1 is located, but that the retention chamber K2 is in the filling direction laterally to the chamber K1. Fig. 26

This would mean a still safe and easier retention of the feces.

It would also have the advantage that the Kotaufheber with the gripping Ge each time can be opened at most wide, even if filling material is already in chamber K2.

The two chambers are separated by a sliding slide S or alternatively by a fixedly anchored cross member Q. The slider S has opposite to a

Cross strut Q the advantage that it can be easily pulled out after filling the bag B, so that the entire bag B slightly out of the

Kotaufheber can be evacuated.

The square shape allows the feces to be easily tilted from chamber K1 into chamber K2.

The whole bag is firmly enclosed, so that the owner does not see the droppings and does not come into contact with the filled bag. This is especially pleasant, especially if the owner has to carry the stuffed loot for some distance. The pouch can not get dirty on its outside, and there is also no danger that the heavy bag filled with faeces will drag over the ground as it is being picked up and thereby be injured.

Since the weight of the feces is on the wall WU, there is no danger that the partially filled bag moves the bag so that no further recording attempt is possible. The wall WU could also be a slide that allows easy opening of the filled bag after opening.

A disadvantage of the integrated chamber K2 could be that the construction becomes relatively wide and, for example, can no longer easily be carried in the jacket pocket. This problem could be avoided, in which the whole construction of 2 parts which the owner only assembles immediately before inserting the bag in the area of the transition from chamber 1 to chamber 2 Fig. 27 After infestation, the closed bag could also be pushed completely into the removed chamber 2, which then has a lid is closed and thus allows easy transport until the next waste basket. Fig. 28

It would also be conceivable that the device has only the opening Ö, through which the

Bag B is led to the outside. Fig.29

One would then have no closed chamber K2, but the first collected

Feces would also be beyond the crossbar Q, so that further detection of feces is possible without already taken feces fall out of the bag again.

This type of construction has some compared to the closed chamber K 2

Disadvantages that comes with a filled with faeces, dangling bag with it.

It is more unpleasant to look at, danger of contact, the outer surface is easily soiled or injured when picking up feces, the bag is slightly displaced by the weight of the feces, so that further work is difficult.

The advantage, however, is the small size of the construction and that the filled bag is easier to extract from the construction.

Some disadvantages of the open design could be prevented by e.g. a hinged plate AP, which can stabilize the dangling bag, or even completely enclose it. Fig. 30

G3

The design that could unite all the above variants would look like this. Fig. 31

The construction consists of 2 parts, which can be joined together if necessary in the area of the transition from chamber 1 to chamber 2 at the opening Ö.

If the construction is used without the chamber 2, so there is a possibility that the user folds the hinged plate AP all the way up and snaps, and thus the device (chamber 1) at the opening Ö completely closes. So the device is like a conventional Kotaufheber to use. That's enough u.U. with small Kotmengen off. Fig. 32

If the hinged plate AP folded down in a horizontal position Fig.6, it is possible to at least stabilize the bag out through the opening Ö out that he does not drag on the ground. So you can grab several times for excrement, without the once collected feces fall out again. On the other hand, one has the advantage that the filled droppings can be quickly dissolved and disposed of.

If you want to protect the bag, z, B. when collecting larger amounts of feces, or if the collected feces must be carried very far to the next trash can, it is recommended to attach the stable chamber 2 at the opening Ö by means of fastening compounds BV Fig. 33 The hinged plate AP would be in this case down worked and fixed there. The mobile chamber 2 can permanently fixed to the opening Ö remain when the

Owner does not want to much on and off, or the transport of the somewhat bulky

Overall construction is not a problem for him, e.g. if anyway a bag or

Backpack is carried.

However, the mobile chamber 2 can also be removed, and can then be well, e.g. be carried in the second jacket pocket, or e.g. be worn on attached eyelets by means of a snap hook on the belt.

This can be done before the feces paragraph, but even after the feces paragraph then the closed bag B can be pushed completely into the chamber 2, which after the

Slimming then closed with a lid. Fig. 34

The chamber 2 can of course remain attached to the chamber 1 until

Reaching the next trash can. It may also be advantageous if the chamber 2 also at its bottom a way to empty the filled

Bag offers, by means of a removable floor EP. Fig. 7

For connecting the chamber 1 to the mobile chamber K2 with fastening connections BV, all the constructions known in the art are conceivable. For example, Snap locks, hooking, flanging on, screwing on, snapping on, snugly inserting, inserting into guide rail, locking, etc. The open end of chamber 2 should also allow attachment of a lid for closing, e.g. by inserting or clicking on, etc. The bottom EB of chamber 2 should also allow easy removal and attachment.

The inserted into the chamber bag B takes with appropriate size and strength and careful insertion of a secure position in the construction, which also by the

Opening and closing the grasping, respectively, by the severity of the collected

Kotes is not changed significantly.

Nevertheless, it could be advantageous on the outside of the chamber 1, but in particular also the chamber 2 or the hinged plate AP small projections or

Einklemmmöglichkeiten attach, in order to fix the protruding from the device open edge OR of the bag B in addition, so that especially when repeated Nachfassen after feces trouble-free work is possible.

The use of bags with an incorporated cord on the open edge also allows such a contraction of the bag that he can not slip.

Of course, it would also be possible to dispense with the hinged plate AP. You could then make the opening Ö so that it can be closed with the same lid or slider as the removable floor EB. This would then allow various manipulations of the construction.

G6

A very advantageous version of a Kotaufhebers would look like described in DE 102006 036 141.5 that the retention chamber K2 is in the filling direction laterally to the chamber K1. Fig. 2

A disadvantage of this integrated chamber K2 could be that the construction is relative becomes wide and so can not be easily carried in the coat pocket, for example. This problem could be avoided by the whole construction consists of 2 parts (gripping pliers GZ with chamber 1 and receptacle AG with chamber 2), which assembled by the. Owner only immediately before the insertion of the bag in the region of the transition from chamber 1 to chamber 2 (VS junction) Fig. 34

Since the gripper tongs in this construction actually only for gripping the feces and tilting the same in the Auffangefäß AG, this has the advantage that your size can be kept very small. Fig. 35

This is especially true for the depth of the tongs TG.

The width of the gripper BG can also be kept smaller than usual, since the

Gripping pliers from the outset not designed to capture the feces with a gripping action. However, a gripping tongs with a narrower side BG has the advantage that it allows a much agile gripping of debris because it does not sit so wide on the ground. The height of the gripping tongs HG needs a certain amount

Mass to reach a slope of the chamber 2.

The stowing of the gripping pliers with their chamber 1 in a coat pocket is thus actually no problem.

More problematic is the size of the collecting vessel AG with its chamber 2.

After the whole feces Ko has been collected and tilted into the chamber 2, the bag B is closed Fig. 36 and with the hand Hd all the way through the opened

Grasping tongs pushed into the collecting vessel. Fig. 37

The drawstring bag has the advantage that it does not yet have to be completely drawn so that air can escape. Otherwise, pushing back in chamber 2 would not be possible.

Then the collecting vessel at the connection point VS is cleared by the tongs. The collecting vessel AG is then closed with a lid D.

Fig. 38, and is ready for a sometimes longer transport to the next trash can. (BE = fastener, Ko = feces)

D. H. the collecting vessel AG with its chamber K2 must have a certain size, in order to enable a safe taking up of the entire faeces even with large dogs.

As a result, it has such a size that easy to carry in one

Coat pocket is no longer possible, and therefore the whole kotheber ultimately not used regularly.

There are now presented two options that will allow a practicable use of the pharmacist.

On the one hand, the collecting vessel AG can be designed so that it can be pushed together, so that it occupies only half the size of the empty transport. Fig. 39

The other possibility would be the following: One simply accepts that the collecting vessel AG must have a certain necessary size. But this allows then in transport without feces the placement of the gripping pliers GZ in the collecting vessel AG. It also leaves room for a few pouches, and this means that the user has all the utensils for his feces management in one item has at hand. This is critical to handling and ease of use, as the dog owner knows he has everything with him in a single grip

Gassigehen needs.

The transport of the whole takes place in a large coat pocket, or in another

Bag, or in the fast clinging to the waistband by means of attached to the outer side of the collecting vessel AG fasteners BE.

Fig. 38

The length of the collecting vessel LA is greater than the height of the gripping tongs HG, so that a pushing in of the gripping tongs in the collecting vessel is possible. Fig. 40

The width of the receptacle BA must be slightly larger than the width of the

Gripper BG. However, this is when joining the two parts (eg

Pushing over a fold) before gripping the faeces is no problem, since the

Receptacle only slightly overhangs, and the inner bag is not disturbed by it.

The depth of the collecting vessel TA is greater than the depth of the narrow gripping tongsTG So there is nothing to prevent the tongs from being pushed into the collecting vessel.

Another possibility is to push in (rotated by 90 degrees) the tongs into the collecting vessel according to. Fig. 41

As a result, the collecting vessel is slightly larger overall. However, the width of the gripping tongs GZ can be greater than the width of the collecting vessel BA, so that a more seamless connection of the two parts at the connection point VS is made possible.

The advantage of this construction of Innninin pushing the two parts of the Kothebers lies in the simple entrainment in an outwardly neutral cuboid vessel, the two parts can be assembled quickly.

By arranging the two chambers K1 and K2 side by side, the user can easily insert a bag B with the inserted hand Hd. Fig.42, and in addition, the bag then also maintains its position well, so that there is no twisting and collapsing.

The collecting vessel AG has after attachment, a slight tilting position, so that on the one hand it does not touch the ground, on the other hand, but also with open grasping forceps GZ is not so high that there is a risk that the feces fall back from K2 to K1. In addition, the collecting vessel may also have a gradation AS or barriers Ba, which form another obstacle against falling out. Fig.43

Commercially available plastic bags can be used for loading into the kotheber. A particularly good copy, however, provides that drawstring bags are used because they allow a particularly comfortable closing of the filled bag. In addition, they have the advantage that by means of the cords a good fastening of the inserted bag to projections V is possible. It is also possible to attach the cords of the bag to the fastening elements BE of the collecting vessel AG. As a result, there is no slippage of the bag when grasping for faeces. Fig. 44

The cords can be tightened exactly so that the bag fits snugly, both with the grasping forceps closed and the grasping forceps open. This is a crucial criterion, since a slipping bag makes it impossible to work with Kotgreifern.

When using ordinary plastic bags without cords, the projections could

V at best be suitable for holding the bag after piercing. Or there may be small clamps, etc. attached to attach the bag.

If the receptacle is filled with feces, the relatively small gripping pliers GZ can be well transported in a garment bag.

The collecting vessel is closed by means of the lid D at the connection point VS, so that the feces can then be transported odor-proof and safe to touch.

Fig. 38

Of course, the goal is to empty the collecting vessel as quickly as possible. Often, however, a way to the next trash can be covered, which then often fails the whole Kotsammelaktion. The filled catcher may e.g. be transported discreetly in carried along bags.

The fasteners BE but also allow easy mooring on

Waistband Fig. 45, so that it can also be removed. It is also possible that the fasteners are suitable for fixing bands Ba, so that even once the dog can take care of the transport itself. Fig. 46

For connecting the chamber 1 to the mobile chamber K2 with fastening connections BV, all the constructions known in the art are conceivable. For example, Snap locks, hooking, flanging on, screwing on, snapping on, inserting accurately, inserting into guide rail, locking, etc.

One type of connection U between gripping pliers GZ and collecting vessel AG could look like shown in Fig. 47.

About a fold Fa, the receptacle is simply pushed onto the tongs.

But this fold then allows the insertion of the lid D on the fold of the collecting vessel.

With appropriate design, the lid D can also be used when necessary for closing the connection point of the gripping pliers GZ.

Likewise, the side of the collecting vessel EA facing away from the gripping tongs may also be lockable by such a cover, so that the filled bag can also be emptied once over this side, e.g. then when the filled bag is to be emptied without the gripping bar and receptacle being separated beforehand.

Likewise, on the side opposite to the collecting vessel AG side of the gripping pliers GZ there is an extra fold FE, which serves only to stow an unnecessary lid D safe. One way to stow an unnecessary lid D can also be created by the arrangement of the fasteners BE on the outside of the collecting vessel.

These fasteners (hooks, tabs, holes, etc.) can take over three functions. Attaching an unused lid, attaching the cord with the bag in place, attaching the collection container for removal. Figs. 48 and 49 As mentioned in DE 10 2006036 141.5, it can also be very advantageous if the dog owner does not have to bend down when picking up the feces or other debris, but can complete the whole while standing.

For this purpose, it has been proposed to lower the device by means of cord or rod (extendable) and, depending on the construction, trigger the gripping action with the foot.

Now, a further advantageous construction is presented, which is intended to ensure that the user can stand several times while standing to feces or other dirt, without having to bend down, and allows the handling of the whole even with one hand.

The gripping of the feces is accomplished with the already presented Varrianten whose handles G (or other flap mechanisms) but via a linkage GG on the handle H are operated so that the user does not have to bend down. Fig. 50

If the owner wants to move the collected feces from chamber 1 to chamber 2, he would have to hold the whole device quite far up. Fig. 51 This is very cumbersome, so it does not seem practical, especially when collecting large amounts of dirt (for example, road or park cleaning).

It is therefore an articulated connection GeV needed (Fig. 52 and 53) controlled by a linkage GS and handle H allows easy pivoting of the actual gripping device.

The pivoting process, like the gripping process, is controlled mechanically via a linkage (swiveling GS and gripping GG).

The whole construction can be designed so that both functions can be performed with one hand. Fig. 52

Before swiveling, the whole structure is simply lifted off the ground slightly, so that the dirt from chamber 1 in chamber 2 can be easily dropped.

Fig. 53

Built-in springs F can also support the mechanics for the swivel range.

Inserting the construction in the jacket pocket could probably no longer be realized in this type of construction of the Schmutzaufhebers, but this arrangement is indeed meant for the "professional recording" of larger amounts of dirt. Thus, the entire construction, in particular the chambers 1 and 2 will be so large that as much as possible can be taken before the full bag B must be emptied. For emptying it may again be advantageous if chamber 2 can be removed from chamber 1

The weight of the entire construction is kept very low by using plastic or other rigid thin materials.

However, when "professionally picking up" large amounts of waste, there is the danger that the open edge of the inserted bag projecting beyond the gripping ends will be damaged by the repeated admission, or at least a rapid one Contraception of the dirt opposes.

It is therefore created the possibility to accommodate the bag B only within the construction, where he then for the purpose of clamping the bag opening inside the

Device is attached to points P.

There may be Einklemmelemente, brackets, etc. Fig.54

Or, in the final analysis, it is completely dispensed with an inserted bag, and then subjected the entire device after completion of the work of a final cleaning. Working without a bag is in principle possible with all presented Varrianten. Despite missing bag B, however, the possibility remains as often as possible to grasp dirt with the device without the receiving material always having to be tilted into a waste bag or bucket immediately after each picking.

Since a violation of the inserted bag thus presents no problem, at least one side of the fender can also have different versions, which are used as required. (e.g., 1 broom, 2 relatively aggressive cutting surfaces, 3 serrated contact surface). Which design is used, man can determine by means of a linkage GD, so that by a rotating device DV always the correct copy is screwed in. Fig. 55

N

It should again be summarized on the preferred embodiment of the invention. Fig. 56

The essence of this is that between the antechamber 4 and the bag receiving chamber 2 is a permanent passage 6, that is, this opening is always permanently open during the entire gripping operations. This ensures that the inserted bag 3 always remains open in its entire length, so that a good transport of the receiving material from the antechamber 4 is ensured to the bag receiving chamber 2.

However, the once taken in the bag receiving chamber 2 receiving material remains there because the bag receiving chamber 2 is inclined downwards, so that the receiving material no longer falls back into the antechamber 4 in further gripping attempts.

The filling direction of the bag receiving chamber 2 extends transversely to the filling direction of the prechamber 4.

If the connection between the bag receiving chamber 2 and the prechamber 4 were repeatedly closed by a slider or a flap in order to prevent a falling back of receiving material from the bag receiving chamber into the prechamber, this would result in the bag being more easily injured deformed so that a further transfer of receiving material from the antechamber 4 in the bag receiving chamber 2 would be impossible. Only through the permanent passage between the prechamber 4 and the bag receiving chamber 2 is it ensured that the bag completely lines both chambers. The prechamber 4 is formed by gripping tongs 11. Releasably attached thereto is the collecting vessel 16, which contains the bag receiving chamber 2.

Preferably, drawstring bags 21 are used, as by means of the cords a good fastening of the bag to outer fixing 2Q is made possible. This is advantageous because otherwise it can easily slip through the repeated opening and closing of the gripping tongs, which would disturb the activity very much. In addition, after the introduction of the receiving material into the bag receiving chamber, the bag can be closed only by closing the cords so far that no receiving material can escape, but on the other hand a dodging of air is enabled when the bag now completely pushed by hand in the Beutelaufnahmejammer becomes. After loosening the receptacle 16 of the gripping pliers 11 of the drawstring bag can then be fully odor-proof by strong tightening and knotting.

But it is also possible to use normal plastic bags, the fixation of fixing 20 but more complex and difficult, when pushing back the bag after the removal of the receiving material in the bag receiving chamber 4, it may not yet be closed, otherwise trapped in the bag air Pushing back is impossible.

As a result, in the empty state, the gripping tongs 11 completely fits into the collecting vessel 16, a practical entrainment of the entire device is possible. On the other hand, the receptacle filled with receiving material can be closed with a lid, so that a longer transport of the receiving material (droppings) to the next trash can is feasible.

In fact, as shown in Figs. 47, 48, and 49, the lid may be secured at four different locations on the device, for example, by insertion into a rail or crease.

Another possibility would be that the lid is pushed into a fold Fa, which is located below the side opening of the gripping tongs. Fig. 47

In this way, a support function of the bag can be achieved when the

Tongs are used once without the receptacle, just like in

Fig. 30 for the hinged flap has already been shown.

This flap as well as the closed bag receiving chamber also satisfies the

Purpose that already collected feces not by his weight the bag to

Slipping brings.

If the grasping forceps are used alone by simply guiding the pouch out of the opening, the pouch will typically require additional fasteners so as not to be pulled out of the device in a half-filled condition.
