Monopod mounted solid pet waste collecting and disposing system

摘要

A monopod mounted solid pet waste collecting and disposing system, is a pole device with a mounted scooper box. When not in use, the scooper box is mounted vertically parallel to the walking stick. When required for pet waste collection, it is deployed horizontally parallel to the ground. The Scooper box has a provision to insert a specially designed disposable case inside the box which has lower lips to protect the surface of scooper box coming in contact with pet waste and side lips that allows the case to be opened or closed in sync with the scooper box. The internal section of the stick also has control systems to deploy the scooper box for pet waste pick-up, to open and close the two compartments of the scooper box to collect the pet waste from ground and to eject the disposable case out of scooper box.

主权项

1. A solid pet waste collecting and disposing system comprising:
an elongated stick; a handle carried on the elongated stick at a top of the elongated stick; a pooper scooper box comprising a pivotally-coupled pair of compartments pivotable relative to one another about a first pivot axis between a closed-together state and an opened state; a movable connection between the elongated stick and the pooper scooper box by which the pooper scooper box, in entirety, is pivotally movable relative to the elongated stick about a second pivot axis that has a perpendicular relationship to both the first pivot axis and the elongated stick, the movable connection being connected to the elongated stick proximate a lower end thereof and enabling movement of the pooper scooper box between a parked position extending along the elongated stick at a distance spaced above the lower end thereof and a deployed position in which both compartments extend laterally away from the elongated stick below the lower end thereof; a first control mechanism having a first control input mounted to the elongated stick proximate the top thereof and operably linked to the pooper scooper box to control relative movement of the pivotally-coupled pair of compartments between the closed-together state and the opened state; and a second control mechanism having a second control input mounted to the elongated stick proximate the top thereof and operably linked to the movable connection to control movement of the pooper scooper box between the parked position and the deployed position; wherein the perpendicular relationship between the first and second pivot axes results opening and closing of the pooper scooper box in a lateral direction transverse to the elongated stick.
