Apparatus for hygienic collection and disposal of animal waste

摘要

An elongated wand member is provided including a first handle end and a second end from which an annular frame is supported with its medial plane inclined generally 45 DEG relative to the longitudinal extent of the wand member. The end of the wand member adjacent the frame includes a transverse guide eye and the side of the frame remote from the wand member includes a second guide eye. The longitudinal mid-portion of an elongated, flexible and elastic tension member is received through the second guide eye and extends in opposite directions therefrom about the outer periphery of the frame and thereafter through the first wand member supported guide eye. The free ends of the tension member extend along the wand member toward the handle end thereof and are anchored relative to an anchor slide mounted from the wand member for guided movement therealong and anchorable in selected shifted position on the wand member adjacent the handle end thereof with the tension member in a longitudinally tensioned condition. The open end of a refuse bag extends through the frame and is peripherally notched and reversely bent over the outer periphery of the frame and releasably clamped between the latter and the longitudinally tensioned tension member.
