The present invention relates to a pet waste bag, and more particular to a pet waste collector, which provides two scraper arms at the bag body for scraping pet wastes into the bag body.

Description of Related Arts

Dogs tend to excrete while they are walked. It is the duty of the dog's owner to clean up the dog's fecal waste in private or public areas. One of the most important responsibilities is to pick up the fecal waste when they are walking their pets in a public place. In addition, many countries have laws and regulations that require pet's owners to pick up their pet's fecal waste. Otherwise, the pet's owners may receive citations. However, once the fecal wastes fall on the ground or grass, it is difficult to collect them completely.

Most pet's owners carry a pet waste bag in order to pick up and collect the waste. There are many different bag dispensers in the market for the pet's owner to carry the pet waste bags during walking the pet. However, the pet waste bag has several drawbacks. In order to pick up the waste on the ground or grass, the pet's owner will usually insert one hand into the pet waste bag and scoop the waste by the hand into the pet waste bag. It is a chore for the pet's owner to pick up the waste by hand even though the hand is covered by the pet waste bag. Most of the pet's owners feel totally disgusting when gripping or touch the waste by hand. Furthermore, the size of the pet waste bag is usually way larger than the hand size of the pet's owner. It is a waste to collect small amount of waste in a big bag. If the size of the pet waste bag is reduced, the hand of the pet's owner is hard to insert into the pet waste bag. Even though the hand of the pet's owner fits into the pet waste bag, the pet waste bag is difficult to flip inside out with the hand therein after picking up the waste. In addition, the pet waste bag is easily dirty when picking up the waste. As a result, the hand of the pet's owner will eventually get dirty when tying up the pet waste bag.

A picking tool is provided in the market to pick up the waste from the ground into the pet waste bag, such that the pet's owner does not have to scoop the waste by his or her own hand. The picking tool generally comprises a handle and a scooping head such that the pet's owner can grip the pet waste bag by one hand and hold the handle by another hand to scoop the waste by the scooping head into the pet waste bag. In other words, the pet's owner requires both hands to complete the waste collecting process. It is inconvenient for the pet's owner since the pet's owner must grip the pet leash by one hand. Thus, the pet's owner must carry the dirty picking tool after the use thereof.

The following description is disclosed to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present invention. Preferred embodiments are provided in the following description only as examples and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the following description would be applied to other embodiments, alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, a pet waste collector according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the pet waste collector comprises a bag body 10 for collecting a waste and a waste collecting apparatus 20 for picking the waste into the bag body 10.

The bag body 10, which is made of flexible material, has a top opening 11 and a waste collecting cavity 12. Preferably, the bag body 10 is made of biodegradable plastic adapted to be decomposed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bag body 10 comprises two bag sheets 101 overlappedly with each other to form the waste collecting cavity 12 between the bag sheets 101. The bag sheets 101 can be formed by two individual sheets affixed with each other edge-to-edge, or can be formed by one single sheet overlappedly folded in half. For example, each of the bag sheets 101 has a rectangular shape, wherein three edges of the bag sheets 101 are sealed correspondingly while one of the edges of each bag sheet 101 is remained unsealed to form the top opening 11 of the bag body 10. It is appreciated that the bag body 10 can be configured to have different sizes and different shapes as long as the bag body 10 is large enough to collect the waste, i.e. the pet waste. Preferably, the width of the bag body 10 is not larger than an opening size of the top opening 11 thereof. In other words, the opening size of the top opening 11 of the bag body 10 should equal to or larger than the width of the waste collecting cavity 12 of the bag body 10.

The waste collecting apparatus 20 comprises two elongated scraper arms 21 spacedly affixed at the bag body 10 to partition the bag body 10 into a first bag portion 13 and a second bag portion 14. The first bag portion 13 of the bag body 10 is a portion defined between the scraper arms 21. The second bag portion 14 of the bag body 10 is defined at the rest portion thereof.

As shown in FIG. 1, the scraper arms 21 are affixed at the bag sheets 101 respectively. In particular, the scraper arms 21 are symmetrically affixed at inner sides of the bag sheets 101 respectively. Preferably, the scraper arms 21 can be affixed on the inner sides of the bag sheets 101 respectively by ultrasonic connection or adhesive. The scraper arms 21 are made of rigid material stiffer than the bag body 10. For example, the scraper arms 21 can be made of plastic, preferably biodegradable plastic.

In addition, the scraper arms 21 are identical and parallel with each other. More importantly, the scraper arms 21 are affixed to the bag body 10 with a distance away from the top opening 11 thereof. Preferably, the scraper arms 21 are affixed to the one-third of the bag body 10 from the top opening 11 thereof. The scraper arms 21 are also parallel to the top opening 11 of the bag body 10.

Accordingly, each of the scraper arms 21 is configured to form a strip, wherein a longitudinal length of each of the scraper arms 21 is smaller than the width of the bag body 10. It is worth mentioning that the longitudinal length of each of the scraper arms 21 can be maximized via the width of the bag body 10 to enhance the scraping operation of the scraper arms 21.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each of the scraper arms 21 has a serrated shape, wherein each of the scraper arms 21 has a plurality of scraping teeth 211 formed along a longitudinal edge thereof for further enhancing the scraping operation when the scraper arms 21 are moved toward each other. Accordingly, the scraping teeth 21 of each of the scraper arms 21 are pointing toward a bottom of the bag body 10, i.e. away from the top opening 11 thereof. Preferably, each of the scraping teeth 21 has a curved shape, as shown in FIG. 2, to serve as a clawing tooth to scrape the pet waste when the scraper arms 21 are moved toward each other. In particular, the scraping teeth 21 at one scraper arm 21 are misaligned with the scraping teeth 21 at another scraper arm 21, such that when the scraper arms 21 are moved toward each other, the scraping teeth 21 at one scraper arm 21 are alternating with the scraping teeth 21 at another scraper arm 21. In other words, the scraping teeth 21 at one scraper arm 21 are engaged with the gaps between the scraping teeth 21 at another scraper arm 21.

As the bag body 10 is partitioned by the scraper arms 21, the first bag portion 13 of the bag body 10 is formed at the bottom portion thereof between the scraper arms 21 and the bottom side of the bag body 10 as shown in FIG. 1. The second bag portion 14 of the bag body 10 is formed at the upper portion thereof between the scraper arms 21 and the top opening 11 of the bag body 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

According to the preferred embodiment, when the bag body 10 is reversibly flipped inside out from the top opening 11 to the scraper arms 21, the second bag portion 14 of the bag body 10 is overlapped with and covered by the first bag portion 13, as shown in FIG. 2, to form a temporary waste cavity 201 within the first bag portion 13 of the bag body 10. In other words, the temporary waste cavity 201 is formed at a portion of the waste collecting cavity 12. It is worth mentioning that the scraper arms 21 are flipped upside-down that the scraping teeth 21 of each of the scraper arms 21 are pointing downward at the opening of the temporary waste cavity 201, as shown in FIG. 2.

In particular, the temporary waste cavity 201 is formed at the bottom portion of the waste collecting cavity 12. Preferably, the second bag portion 14 of the bag body 10 is formed at the upper portion thereof between the scraper arms 21 and the top opening 11 of the bag body 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Therefore, the volume of the temporary waste cavity 201 is about two-third of the waste collecting cavity 12. It is appreciated that when the scraper arms 21 are located between the top opening 11 and the bottom of the bag body 10, the volume of the temporary waste cavity 201 is about two-third of the waste collecting cavity 12. Preferably, the volume of the temporary waste cavity 201 is at least half of the waste collecting cavity 12.

The scraper arms 21 are moved toward each other to enclose the temporary waste cavity 201 within the first bag portion 13 of the bag body 10. When moving the scraper arms 21 toward each other, i.e. the scraper arms 21 are moved alongside with each other, the scraper arms 21 are also arranged for scraping the waste within the temporary waste cavity 201, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C. In other words, when the bag body 10 is reversibly flipped inside out from the top opening 11, the scraper arms 21 are formed along an opening of the temporary waste cavity 201. Therefore, when the scraper arms 21 are moved toward each other to enclose the temporary waste cavity 201. Through the scraping teeth 211 at each of the scraper arms 21, the scraper arms 21 can easily scrape the pet waste into the temporary waste cavity 201 and to close the temporary waste cavity 201 at the same time. It is worth mentioning that the scraping teeth 211 of the scraper arms 21 are formed along the opening of the temporary waste cavity 201. Therefore, the bag body 10 is then flipped back for automatically retaining the pet waste in the waste collecting cavity 12 from the temporary waste cavity 201, as shown in FIG. 3E.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bag body 10 further comprises a drawstring 15 extended around the top opening 11 for tie-closing the waste collecting cavity 12 after the pet waste is collected therein.

In order to move the scraper arms 21, the waste collecting apparatus 20 further comprises a scraping actuator 22 detachably coupled with the scraper arms 21 to drive the scraper arms 21 for picking up the pet waste into the temporary waste cavity 201. As shown in FIG. 1, the scraping actuator 22 comprises two actuator arms 221 pivotally coupled with each other, wherein each of the actuator arms 221 has a detachable end detachably coupled with a free end portion 210 of the scraper arm 21, such that when the actuator arms 221 are pivotally moved, the scraper arms 21 are driven to move toward each other and away from each other. It is worth mentioning that the scraper arms 21 are affixed to the bag body 10 except the free end portions 210 of the scraper arms 21. Therefore, the detachable ends of the actuator arms 221 can be detachably coupled at the free end portions 210 of the scraper arms 21 respectively. In addition, the free end portion 210 of each of the scraper arms 21 is an angled end portion, wherein an angle between an elongated body of the scraper arm 21 and the free end portion 210 is an obtuse angle. Preferably, each of the actuator arms 221 also has an angled end to detachably couple at the free end portion 210 of the scraper arm 21, as shown in FIG. 1. Alternatively, each of the actuator arms 221 can be an elongated straight arm to detachably couple at the free end portion 210 of the scraper arm 21, as shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, the actuator arms 221 are upwardly and inclinedly extended from the opening of the temporary waste cavity 201 when the scraping actuator 22 detachably coupled with the scraper arms 21. In other words, the user is able to easily actuate the scraping actuator 22 to drive the scraper arms 21 for picking up the pet waste on the ground without touching the ground.

Preferably, the two actuator arms 221 are pivotally coupled with each other end-to-end via a spring-loaded pivot joint 222 to form the scraping actuator 22 with a V-shaped configuration. In other words, each of the actuator arms 221 further has an opposed pivot end, wherein the pivot ends of the actuator arms 221 are pivotally coupled by the spring-loaded pivot joint 222 and the detachable ends of the actuator arms 221 are detachably coupled with the free ends of the scraper arms 21 respectively. Therefore, when the user holds the actuator arms 221 and applies a compression force thereto, the scraper arms 21 are driven to move toward each other. Once the compression force is released, the spring-loaded pivot joint 222 will push the actuator arms 221 pivotally moved away from each other so as to move the scraper arms 21 away from each other.

Likewise, the two actuator arms 221′ are pivotally coupled with each other via a pivot joint 222′ to form the scraping actuator 22′ with a scissor-like configuration, such that the user is able to operate the actuator arms 221′ to move the scraper arms 21 toward each other and away from each other. Preferably, each of the actuator arms 221′ also has an angled end to detachably couple at the free end portion 210 of the scraper arm 21, as shown in FIG. 1. It is worth mentioning that after collecting the pet waste in the bag body 10, the scraping actuator 22, 22′ can be detached from the scraper arms 21, such that the scraping actuator 22 is reusable to couple with another set of scraper arms 21 at the bag body 10.

As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3F, a method for collecting the pet waste by the pet waste collector is illustrated, where the method comprises the following steps.

(1) Provide the bag body 10 with two elongated scraper arms 21 spacedly built-in with the bag body 10 to partition the bag body 10 into the first bag portion 13 and the second bag portion 14, as shown in FIG. 3A. Accordingly, the temporary waste cavity 201 is formed at the first bag portion 13 of the bag body 10 within the waste collecting cavity 12 thereof.

(2) Reversibly flip the bag body 10 inside out from the top opening 11. Accordingly, the second bag portion 14 of the bag body 10 is overlapped with and covered by the first bag portion 13, as shown in FIG. 3A, to form the temporary waste cavity 201 within the first bag portion 13 of the bag body 10. In other words, the temporary waste cavity 201 will be exposed when the bag body 10 is flipped. Thus, the scraper arms 21 are formed along an opening of the temporary waste cavity 201. Preferably, the scraping actuator 22 is detachably coupled to the scraper arms 21 before the bag body 10 is flipped to expose the temporary waste cavity 201.

It is worth mentioning that the bag body 10 can be a folded in a compact size. In particular, the bag body 10 can be formed with its original shape as shown in FIG. 3A, such that the user is able to reversibly flip the bag body 10 before it is used. Likewise, the bag body 10 can be pre-folded with the flipped shape as shown in FIG. 3A, such that the user is able to use the flipped bag body 10 right the way.

(3) Scrape the pet waste by moving the scraper arms 21 toward each other to collect the pet waste within the temporary waste cavity 201, as shown in FIG. 3C. Accordingly, the bag body 10 is placed upside-down at a position that the opening of the temporary waste cavity 201 is facing downwardly toward the pet waste. When the scraper arms 21 are moved toward each other, the temporary waste cavity 201 is closed by the scraper arms 21. The scraping teeth 21 of the scraper arms 21 will help to scrape the pet waste from the ground into the temporary waste cavity 201. It is worth mentioning that the user is able to actuate the scraping actuator 22 to move the scraper arms 21 toward each other, as shown in FIG. 3B.

(4) Flip the bag body 10 back for automatically retaining the pet waste in the waste collecting cavity 12 from the temporary waste cavity 201, as shown in FIGS. 3D and 3E. Once the temporary waste cavity 201 is closed by the scraper arms 21 to store the pet waste in the temporary wastes cavity 210, the user is able to place the bag body 10 at a position that the opening of the temporary waste cavity 201 is facing upward, such that the pet waste will be dropped at the bottom of the bag body 10. Then, the user is able to flip the bag body 10 back to its original condition by unfolding the second bag portion 14 of the bag body 10 from the first bag portion 13, as shown in FIGS. 3D and 3E. Then the pet waste will be collected in the waste collecting cavity 12. It is worth mentioning that when flipping the bag body 10, the user is able to hold the scraping actuator 22 to carry the bag body 10 and to maintain the temporary wastes cavity 210 in a closed condition at the same time. Therefore, the closed temporary wastes cavity 210 will reduce the smell of the pet waste to escape therefrom and will keep the second bag portion 14 of the bag body 10 clean.

(5) Tie-close the waste collecting cavity 12 by the drawstring 15 extended around the top opening 11 after the pet waste is collected in the waste collecting cavity 12, as shown in FIG. 3F. It is worth mentioning that the user is able to hold the scraping actuator 22 to carry the bag body 10 and to pull the drawstring 15 for closing the waste collecting cavity 12 at the same time. Therefore, the hand of the user will not touch any portion of the bag body except the drawstring 15. Once the waste collecting cavity 12 is closed by the drawstring 15, the scraping actuator 22 can be detached from the scraper arms 21. Since the scraping actuator 22 will not touch the pet waste during the scraping operation, the user can keep the scraping actuator 22 clean.

It is worth mentioning that the scraper arms 21 can be optionally removed from the bag body 10 after the waste collecting process is completed. The user is able to simply detach the scraper arms 21 from the bag body 10 or to keep the scraper arms 21 at the bag body 10.

One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting.

It will thus be seen that the objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. The embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of illustrating the functional and structural principles of the present invention and is subject to change without departure from such principles. Therefore, this invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
