  • the instrument is lightweight, durable, removable and inexpensive.
  • the document US 4,360,229 describes a collector of dog excrement, comprising a hollow handle and a sliding rod in the handle.
  • the rod is extended by a rectangular frame having a first wedge to block an edge of a bag
  • the handle is extended by an arm provided with a second wedge to block another edge of the bag.
  • the second wedge can be moved to the first by sliding on the rectangular frame.
  • the bag placed between the two holds may interfere with their movement by being wedged between the second hold and the frame.
  • the HAND (1) hollow, with a diameter of 15mm (possibly smaller if any) of a material (plastic, pvc) light, resistant, rigid and biodegradable, contains a first rod (2) molded in one single piece (A and B). At one end (A), a portion of five centimeters long and 14 mm high serves as a piston actuated by a pull rod (3) screwed into the piston and moving in a slot (5) of the handle (1). At the other end of the first rod (2) two male parts of clip are fixed (4). fig 1 ) which will be connected to the female part of the clip (24, fig 3 ) allowing the second rod (17 fig 3 ) to move on the frame (16 fig 3 ). The slot (5) in the handle (1 fig 1 ) one hundred and fifty millimeters long and five wide ending at both ends by a groove (6) which will block in the open or closed position the second rod (17) fig 3 ).
  • the pull rod (3) screwed into the piston (A) slides along the slot (5) allowing the first rod (2) which is fixed thereto to move the second rod (17).
  • fig 3 The piston of the same material as the assembly is of a diameter that allows it to slide in the handle (1) without friction.
  • the invention also allows to be used with one hand the instrument being secured to the leash by two fasteners.
  • One (8) on the handle (1) four hundred millimeters from the end piston side of the first rod (1). It consists of a Velcro tape of sufficient length to securely surround any commercially available leash pattern.
  • the other attachment (10 fig 2 ), a ring, opening and closing by a simple pressure, will attach to the handle of the leash, which will then be secured to the handle (9 fig 2 ).
  • the elements of the fig 1 (2 and 3) are removable and changeable and the handle (1) to replace a room without having to change the entire instrument.
  • HANDLE (9) of the same material as the handle (1 fig 1 ), is thirteen cm long, 4 cm in diameter. The fingerprint, molded on one side, to ensure a good grip. The ring (10 fig 2 ) will be attached to the opposite side
  • the handle hollow, has a bottom placed 100 millimeters, the remaining 30 mm receiving the female part of the clip (11) which will fit the handle (1 fig 1 ).
  • the hollow part will receive a bag (12) of relief.
  • the handle In its upper part the handle will close by a valve (13) moving on a hinge (14) closing by a clip (15).
  • the handle (9) is also replaceable.
  • the FRAME (16) of the same material as the handle (1) is formed of a single piece (18,19, 20,21) of ten millimeters in diameter, forming a square of one hundred and seventy-ten mm of outer side ending in a bend 30 mm long receiving the female part (25) of the clip connecting it to the handle (1 fig 1 )
  • the space between the two female parts allowing to clip on the handle (1) without effort and without play.
  • the second rod (17) of the same diameter as the frame (16) slides on the branches (18 and 20) by two circles (23) of the same material as the frame (16) and fixed at each end of the second rod (17) by rivets closing a collar integral with the circle.
  • the two circles (23) are each surmounted by one of the four hooks (22).
  • the free space for the bag inside between the second rod (17) and the branch of the frame (19) is 140mm.
  • the one between the two branches of the frame (18 and 20) is 150mm.
  • Four small hooks in the form of "T" with the rounded head (22) screwed vertically, 2 on the ends of the branch (19) and 2 at the ends of the second rod (17) on the two circles (23) allow to fix the bag (26).
  • the two female holes of this clip will be lengthened to allow the rotation of the first rod (2) during the placement of the zipper (3) in the grooves (6).
  • the SAC (26) is made of a waterproof and flexible biodegradable material (plastic). Rectangular bottom (140 x 150mm) it will, hooked to the frame (16) 150mm high, plus 50mm of flap on the edges of (17,18, 19,20) to always keep the instrument out of contact with the street or droppings.
