DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a device for collecting objects on the ground such as wastes or animal dejections.
The increase in the number of domestic animals such as dogs in cities has resulted in an increase in the pollution of our sidewalks.
To fight against this phenomenon, authorities have sometimes had to take corrective measures and make arrangements for cleaning, and thus certain cities are equipped with specialized vehicles.
Other cities provide animal owners with individual collection devices.
Thus, there are known devices existing in the form of a flexible, or at least locally flexible, bag.
When the user collects the waste, the smell is unpleasant, and this acts as a deterrent to the utilization of these devices.
There are known rigid-walled devices comprising: the waste,
Thus, for example, it may be a box with a sliding bottom (FR-A-2647825, FR-A-2652101) which is first manipulated so as to uncover the opening.
The box is then placed over the waste and the bottom is returned to its initial position so as to close the box, which then contains the waste.
When maneuvering the bottom of the box, the operator risks soiling his hands.
Instead of the bottom, it could be a frontal wall (DE-A-3.404.037).
Unfortunately, this box is not collapsible, and is therefore quite bulky.
There is also a known device (WO-A-8905886) comprising two half-boxes articulated to each other, either around a common fold so as to form a sort of grip, or on a slide (U.S. Pat. No. 4,830,419).
With this device, it is difficult to keep the grip closed after use.
One of the intended results of the invention is a collection device of the above-mentioned type comprising: the waste, of the box, element guided in translation on the box in a direction approximately perpendicular to the plane of the opening of the box, the other end of the thin element having, at least indirectly, a handling means that makes it possible to move the closing piece toward the opening, indirectly the handling means, form a frame, and these two thin elements, existing in the form of strips sliding in grooves provided in the two lateral walls of the box, which are orthogonal to the opening, and in order to reduce their length and consequently the bulkiness of the device.
The invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the following description given as a non-limiting example, in reference to the attached drawing, which schematically represents;
FIG. 1: top view of a device,
FIG. 2: side view of the device,
FIG. 3: an accessory.
By referring to the drawing, it may be seen that the device 1 for collecting wastes such as animal dejections comprises: of the waste,
According to one characteristic of the invention: the box 2, element 9 guided in translation on the box in a direction approximately perpendicular to the plane of the opening of the box, and the other end 8 of the thin element has, at least indirectly, a handling means 10 that makes it possible to move the closing piece 4 toward the opening 3 and locally in order to reduce its length, and consequently the bulkiness of the device.
The device comprises two thin elements 9 which, with the closing piece 4 and at least indirectly the handling means, form a frame, and these two thin elements 9, existing in the form of strips, slide in grooves 12 provided in the two lateral walls of the box, which are orthogonal to the opening.
The handling means 10 extends approximately in the plane of the horizontal bottom of the box toward the rear, and has at least one fold line 13 for folding it at least partially back onto the box.
The size of this handling means is sufficient for placing the bottom of the foot on it and immobilizing the frame for the time required to maneuver the box and push it toward the closing piece, possibly with an accessory 100 such as a handle, particularly telescopic.
The top wall 14 of the box has a fold line 15 parallel to the front surface of the box, which delimits a rear wall portion 16 which, during the assembly of the box, is immobilized relative to the other walls, and a wall por
