Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] <Industrial application field> This invention relates to a excrement disposal shovel for domestic dogs.

<Prior art> Recently, when I take my dog out for a walk, I bring a small shovel with me, and when my dog poops, I either put it in a bag with the shovel body and take it home, or I bury it in the ground if it's allowed. At the very least, measures such as covering the area with earth and sand are required. The shovel in this case is a commercially available transplanted shovel or a toy shovel.

<Problem that the invention aims to solve> When disposing of excrement with a conventional shovel, the shovel body gets dirty with filth. The upper surface of the shovel body is concave, making it difficult to remove dirt from it.

If you continue to walk with a dirty shovel in your hand, there is a high risk of staining your clothes. Even if you don't, walking around with a dirty shovel in your hand feels bad.

This idea succeeded in solving the contradictory desire of using a shovel to dispose of excrement but not wanting to soil the shovel body.

<Means for solving the problem> The idea to solve the above-mentioned difficult problem is to avoid direct contact between the waste and the shovel, and to intervene with an intermediary material such as sand or powder. This invented dog excrement disposal shovel that embodies this idea has a hollow part in the handle for storing sprinkled material such as sand or powder, and the hollow part has a
The tip opening on the upper surface of the shovel body forms a dispensing port with a dispensing resistor such as a net, and the rear end forms a supply port for the sprinkling material, and the dispensing port and supply port can be opened and closed using respective lids or opening/closing members. It is characterized by being made possible.

<Function> The shovel of this invention stores a sprinkling material such as sand or powder in the hollow part of the handle, and can sprinkle it on the upper surface of the shovel body and also on the excrement on the ground from the dispensing opening at the tip. can. Therefore, if you roll the excrement through the sprinkle material and completely cover the outer periphery with the sprinkle material, then scoop the excrement into the shovel body or bury it in the ground, there is no risk of dirt getting on the shovel body. .

In particular, if you use diatomaceous earth or other powder as the sprinkling material instead of sand, the upper surface of the shovel body will be well covered with the powder, thereby doubling the dirt prevention effect.

It is also a good idea to add a disinfectant powder or deodorizer to the sprinkling material.

<Example> Figure 1 is a perspective view of an example of this invention, part 1.
is the handle of the shovel, 2 is the dispense port, 3 is the supply port, 2
a and 3a are respective lids, 4 is a swinging resistor,
In this example, the net and 7 are shovel bodies. S indicates shaken out sand or powder.

Each of the lids 2a and 3a is partially cut away to illustrate the openings at both ends of the handle 1. In this embodiment, the entire shovel is made of resin, the lids 2a and 3a are simply fitted, and the swinging resistor 4 is a disk-shaped wire mesh that is fitted into the swinging opening 2 and fixed therein.

When shaking out sand, powder, etc., it is important that the shaking resistor 4 disperses and flows out the lumps of sand and powder, but this may be done not only by a net but also by a hole plate, a crosspiece, a grid, etc. .

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the dispenser opening/closing member 2b is
It rotates around a support shaft 5 provided at the tip of the opening/closing member 2b, and the opening/closing operation is performed by pushing and pulling the finger lever 6 of the opening/closing member 2b with your thumb. A spring may be added to urge the opening/closing member 2b to normally close the dispenser opening 2.

Just as there are various shapes of shovel bodies, the hollow handle of this invention, its dispensing opening, supply opening, lid, opening/closing member, etc. can be changed into various shapes. The handle can be designed in any way you like, such as making it easy to grip rather than just a cylinder, or integrating the handle with a storage area that can store a large amount of sprinkling material.

<Effects of the invention> This invention demonstrated for the first time a simple means of disposing of pet dog feces without soiling the shovel body with filth.

The shovel of this invention stores a sprinkling material such as sand or powder inside its handle, so that the sprinkling material necessary for one or two excrement disposals can be carried at all times. Since the sprinkling material outlet opens on the upper surface of the shovel body, the sprinkling material adheres to both the shovel body and the excrement.
Direct contact between the two prevents dirt from adhering to the shovel body.

Since the sprinkle material inside the handle passes through the shake resistor at the shake out opening, it is literally shaken out and sprinkled in small amounts without falling all together. There is little risk of it adhering to the shovel.

The hygienic effect can be further enhanced by mixing a disinfectant into the sprinkling material.

This invention makes it easier for dog owners to dispose of their own feces, and has a great social effect by making it easier to maintain public morals.
