Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for collecting and removing offensive matter, such as animal feces. Background Technology

[0002] Animal feces, especially pet feces, can cause hygiene and aesthetic problems, particularly in public spaces. Many municipalities have passed regulations requiring pet owners to clean up after their pets in public areas.

[0003] Pet owners typically scoop their pets' feces into plastic bags or possibly a special glove or mittens by hand, then discard the bag or glove and its contents—a usually unpleasant task. Besides the discomfort of the pet owner's hands being close to feces, this method of removal generates plastic and other non-biodegradable waste.

[0004] Other methods of removing animal feces may include using devices such as shovels and vacuum cleaners to collect the feces into disposable plastic liners designed to prevent leakage from the often-wet feces. Besides the inconvenience of carrying such devices every time you walk your pet, using them also generates non-biodegradable waste that is harmful to the environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an apparatus and method for collecting and removing waste (e.g., dangerous or unpleasant insects, garbage, spoiled matter, or excrement such as animal feces). The apparatus and method according to embodiments of the invention can collect and remove waste without requiring user contact with or uncomfortably approaching the waste. The apparatus according to embodiments of the invention may include a compostable disposable element for collecting waste by contacting the adhesive surface of the compostable disposable element with the waste, thereby adhering the waste to the element. The compostable disposable element with the waste adhering to it can then be discarded, removing the excrement in an environmentally friendly manner without creating non-biodegradable waste.

[0006] This invention will be illustrated by way of describing an apparatus and method for collecting and removing animal feces; however, it should be understood that other types of waste can be collected and removed using embodiments of this invention.

[0007] In one embodiment, the animal feces collection and removal device includes a feces adhesion element having an adhesive surface portion comprising an adhesive having adhesive properties such that at least one piece of animal feces can adhere to the adhesive surface portion in a substantially irreversible manner upon contact with the feces. Therefore, once the animal feces adhere to the adhesive surface portion, the feces can be collected from the ground (or other indoor or outdoor surface) by removing the feces collection and removal device. In one example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) is used. The feces adhesion element and / or adhesive and / or other components may be made of compostable (potentially biodegradable) materials, allowing them to be disposed of along with the feces adhering to them without creating non-degradable waste. In some cases, the discarded adhesion element, with or without feces adhering to it, can be used to produce compost, which can be used as, for example, an environmentally friendly fertilizer.

[0008] Some embodiments provide a sheet that can be folded to form an animal feces collection and removal device. The sheet may include a bottom surface portion having an adhesive portion. The sheet may have a handle element at at least one end. The sheet is typically configured to fold over itself such that the handle element protrudes from the bottom surface portion away from the adhesive portion, thereby allowing the handle element to be held in the user's hand and allowing the adhesive portion to contact the animal feces (or other waste) without the user's hand needing to be near the feces. The sheet may be made of a compostable (potentially biodegradable) material, such as a paper-based material, so that the device including the foldable sheet can be used in an environmentally friendly manner without generating non-biodegradable waste. Furthermore, the device can be advantageously recycled to produce environmentally friendly fertilizer.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a method for removing animal feces includes providing a user with a feces-adhesive element having an adhesive bottom surface portion comprising an adhesive having adhesive properties such that at least one piece of animal feces can be adhered to the bottom surface portion in a substantially irreversible manner upon contact with the feces. Using a feces-adhesive element (which may be compostable) enables an environmentally friendly method for collecting and removing feces (or other waste) without requiring the user to come into contact with or be uncomfortable near the waste.

Detailed Implementation

[0011] In the following description, various aspects of the invention will be described. Specific configurations and details are set forth for purposes of explanation in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. However, it will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that aspects of the invention can be practiced without the specific details set forth herein. Furthermore, well-known features may have been omitted or simplified to avoid obscuring the description.

[0012] Although the examples described below relate to apparatus and methods for collecting and removing animal feces, it should be understood that embodiments of the invention using the examples below can be used to collect and remove other waste.

[0013] An animal feces collection and removal device (also known as an animal feces removal device) according to some embodiments of the present invention is schematically shown in... Figures 1A to 1D(Correspondingly, side view, bottom view, and top view including animal feces). In one embodiment, the animal feces removal device includes a feces adhesion element 100 having one or more adhesive surface portions 101 comprising an adhesive having adhesive properties such that at least a portion of the animal feces 110 can be adhered to it in a substantially irreversible manner when the adhesive surface portion 101 comes into contact with feces 110. The adhesive properties of the adhesive are such that after the adhesive comes into contact with feces 110 (even after contact under low pressure), the adhesive can immediately form a bond with feces 110 (or at least a portion of feces). The bond formed between the adhesive and the feces is strong enough to secure the feces to the feces adhesion element, effectively and irreversibly. Therefore, once the feces adhere to the feces adhesion element, the feces can be removed by removing the feces adhesion element.

[0014] Embodiments of the present invention may utilize pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA), such as EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) hot melt adhesives or PUR (reactive polyurethane) hot melt adhesives. Therefore, collecting animal feces using the apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention (e.g., from sidewalks, grass, or other indoor or outdoor surfaces) may only require lightly touching the sticky surface portion 101 to the feces 110, without expending additional effort in collecting and securing the feces.

[0015] The adhesion element 100 may include a release liner 102 configured to cover the adhesive surface portion 101. The release liner 102 may include, for example, a paper-based or plastic-based film coated with a release agent on one or both sides, which provides a barrier against unwanted adhesion to the adhesive surface portion 101. In some embodiments, the release liner 102 may be biodegradable. For example, the release liner may include a fibrous-based film. The release liner 102 may be removed immediately before use to achieve the desired adhesion of feces 110 to the adhesive surface portion 101. In some embodiments, the release liner 102 may be designed to cover the feces 110 after it has adhered to the adhesive surface portion 101. In one example, one end of the release liner 102 may be attached to the adhesion element 100 along an edge 102', while the other ends of the release liner are free and removable from the adhesive surface portion 101. Therefore, before use, the release liner 102 can be partially removed to expose the adhesive surface 101, but it can still remain attached to the adhesion element 100 at its edge 102'. This allows the release liner 102 to be reused on the feces 110 after it has adhered to the adhesive surface 101, thereby covering the adhered feces 110. For example, the release liner 102 may include one or more liner films larger than required to cover the adhesive surface 101, allowing these films to be reused on the adhered feces 110, fully covering it. This prevents the feces from being exposed when the user handles the adhesion element 100, thus providing additional protection for the user.

[0016] In some embodiments, the bottom surface portion (B) of the fecal adhesion element 100 includes an adhesive surface portion 101, and the top surface portion (T) of the fecal adhesion element 100 has a handle element 103. The handle element 103 is typically designed to allow a user to hold the handle element in their hand. For example, the handle element 103 may include a knob, a grip, or a flip cover with an opening designed to fit the user's hand.

[0017] In some embodiments, the release liner 102 may cover the adhesive surface portion 101 and extend further beyond the end of the bottom surface portion (B), thereby leaving an overhanging portion of the release liner 102, which may serve as, for example, a protrusion to pull the release liner away from the adhesive surface portion. When the release liner film is reapplied to the adhered feces 110, the overhanging portion of the release liner 102 may also be used to secure the reapplied release liner so that the adhered feces are not exposed when the user handles the adhesion element 100. For example, the overhanging portion of the release liner 102 may include holes or other openings to allow hooks or other fastening elements to pass through the overhanging portion and through the adhesion element (e.g., through an opening in the handle element 103), thereby securing the release liner to the adhesion element after the release liner 102 has been reapplied to the adhered feces.

[0018] In some embodiments, holes or openings in the overhang of the release liner 102 can be used to releasably attach the adhesive element 100 to the appliance, for example, via a hook, as further described below.

[0019] Therefore, in some embodiments, the adhesive element includes a release liner that extends beyond the adhesive surface portion, thereby leaving an overhang of the release liner. This overhang can be configured to attach to an animal leash and / or to the adhesive element after the release liner has been reapplied to the already adhered feces.

[0020] In another embodiment (illustratively shown in...) Figure 1E and Figure 1F The animal feces removal device includes a feces adhesion element 100 having an adhesive surface portion 101 (e.g., as described herein). The device also includes a cover portion 111 having a feces-covering face portion 113 configured to cover animal feces 110 when feces adhere to the adhesive surface portion 101. The feces adhesion element 100 is hinged to the cover portion 111, for example via a joint 115, which may include, for example, a flexible portion and / or flexible material, a membrane hinge, perforations, etc.

[0021] When collecting feces 110, the device is in the open configuration (e.g., Figure 1E(Schematic illustration) In the open configuration, the fecal adhesion element 100 and the covering portion 111 are linearly aligned, with the adhesive surface portion 101 and the fecal covering portion 113 facing the same direction. The adhesive surface portion 101 can then be used to collect the feces 110 by bringing the adhesive surface portion 101 into contact with the feces 110. It may be necessary to press the fecal adhesion element 100 against the ground (or other surface) so that the adhesive surface portion 101 can contact the feces 110. In some embodiments, the fecal adhesion element 100 and / or the adhesive surface portion 101 may be made of a flexible or elastic material, allowing the fecal adhesion element 100 and / or the adhesive surface portion 101 to reversibly change shape, for example, so that the fecal adhesion element 100 and / or the adhesive surface portion 101 can be easily pressed when necessary to ensure contact between the adhesive surface portion 101 and the feces 110. The fecal adhesion element 100 can be shaped, for example, to contain the feces 110 after it has been collected into the device (i.e., once the feces have adhered to the adhesive surface portion 101) and the covering portion has closed on the fecal adhesion element. In some embodiments, the fecal adhesion element is dome-shaped, wherein the adhesive surface portion 101 is convex. The covering portion 111 can be substantially flat.

[0022] In some embodiments, a user can grasp the fecal adhesion element 100 via the protrusion 114 to manipulate the fecal adhesion element 100 such that the adhesive surface portion 101 contacts the feces 110. The protrusion 114 can also be used as a manipulation device to fold the cover portion 111 (e.g., in the direction indicated by arrow F) onto the fecal adhesion element 100. The protrusion 114 may be part of the design or shape of the fecal adhesion element 100 and / or may include, for example, a handle. The protrusion 114 can be multifunctional because it is generally configured to be grasped by a user and configured to allow the user to manipulate the fecal adhesion element to collect feces and to manipulate the cover portion to close on the fecal adhesion element after the feces adhere to the adhesive surface portion 101. In some embodiments, the fecal adhesion element 100 and / or the protrusion 114 may be configured to attach to, for example, an animal leash, for example through the hole 117 and / or as further described herein.

[0023] After the feces 110 adheres to the sticky surface portion 101, the covering portion 111 can be folded in the direction indicated by arrow F, so that the sticky surface portion 101 faces the feces-covering face 113 (e.g., Figure 1F(Illustratively shown), the device can be configured into a closed state. Once the device is folded and the covering portion 111 contacts the fecal adhesion element 100, the feces 110 is covered and obscured from view. In some embodiments, when in the closed configuration, the covering portion can be secured to the fecal adhesion element by an adhesive on its sticky surface, ensuring the device remains closed while holding the feces. In some embodiments, the covering portion 111 and / or the fecal adhesion element 100 may include a securing mechanism, such as a "protrusion and groove" mechanism, where one portion has a protruding protrusion that can fit into a corresponding groove on another portion to secure one portion to the other; or other possible securing mechanisms may be included, such as hook and loop mechanisms or other interlocking mechanisms. The closed device containing feces can be discarded as is.

[0024] As discussed herein, the device or its components may be made of or may include biodegradable materials. In some embodiments, the device may be made of or may include components made of bioplastics, which are biodegradable and can be used to produce compost, which can be used as, for example, an environmentally friendly fertilizer.

[0025] Methods for collecting and / or removing animal feces may include providing a user with a feces-adhesive element having a sticky bottom surface portion comprising an adhesive, such as PSA, having adhesive properties that allow at least a portion of the animal feces to adhere in a substantially irreversible manner upon contact with the bottom surface portion. In some embodiments, a release liner is provided to cover the sticky bottom surface portion to prevent unwanted adhesion to the sticky bottom. The release liner can be reapplied to cover and secure the feces after it has adhered to the feces-adhesive element.

[0026] In some embodiments, the protruding portion of the fecal adhesive element is used to manipulate the fecal adhesive element to collect feces, and then, after the feces adhere to the fecal adhesive element, the covering portion closes on the fecal adhesive element to cover the feces.

[0027] The fecal adhesion element can be attached to a handle element. In some embodiments, the method includes providing a handle element that is reversibly attached to the adhesion element. This method allows the handle to be released from the adhesion element without the user needing to contact the fecal adhesion element. In some embodiments, the method allows the adhesion element to be reversibly attached to an animal leash.

[0028] In some embodiments, the PSA is biodegradable. In some embodiments, biodegradable release liner, such as fiber-based release liner, is used. Therefore, collecting and / or removing animal feces according to embodiments of the invention (e.g., from sidewalks, grass, or other indoor or outdoor surfaces) can help reduce non-biodegradable waste.

[0029] Although the fecal adhesion element (e.g., adhesion element 100) exemplified herein is rectangular or dome-shaped, it should be understood that adhesion elements according to embodiments of the invention can be formed in any suitable shape, such as polygonal or circular. Adhesion elements according to embodiments of the invention can be provided in different sizes and / or different shapes to suit different needs.

[0030] like Figure 2 As schematically shown, the handle element 203 can be reversibly attached to the fecal adhesion element 200. Figure 2 The handle element 203 illustrated herein can be attached to the fecal adhesive element 200, for example, by inserting it into a designated hole 204 on the top surface portion (T) of the fecal adhesive element 200. The handle element 203 can be inserted into the hole 204 and slid or rotated in one direction to attach to the fecal adhesive element 200. The handle element 203 can be slid or rotated in the opposite direction to release from the fecal adhesive element 200. In another example, the diameter of the handle element 203, or at least its base 213, is larger than the diameter of the hole 204. The handle element 203 can be squeezed to reduce at least the width of the base 213 so that the base 213 is inserted into the hole 204. When the handle element 203 is no longer squeezed, the handle element 203 can expand, and the frictional force generated by the expansion holds the handle element 203 in the hole 204. The handle element can then be released from the hole 204 by squeezing the handle element again to reduce its width. These and similar implementations enable the release of the fecal adhesive element 200 without the user touching it, thereby facilitating easy disposal of the fecal adhesive element 200 (possibly along with the animal feces adhered thereto) without the user having to be uncomfortable near the animal feces.

[0031] In some implementations, animal feces removal devices (such as...) Figures 1A to 1F and Figure 2(As shown) is disposable. In some embodiments, the device is compostable, or at least partially compostable, and is typically made of compostable (e.g., biodegradable) materials, such as cardboard (possibly made from recycled paper) or other paper-based or wood-based materials, such as medium-density fiberboard (MDF). In one embodiment, the fecal adhesion element 100 or 200 is compostable, and the handle element 103 or 203 may also be compostable. In another example, the handle element 103 or 203 may be reusable, while the fecal adhesion element may be biodegradable.

[0032] In some embodiments, a biodegradable adhesive, such as polyurethane-based PSA, is used. In some embodiments, a biodegradable release liner, such as a fiber-based release liner, is used.

[0033] In one exemplary embodiment (schematically shown) Figure 3 The animal feces removal device includes a feces adhesion element 300 having a handle element 303 configured to attach to an animal leash 313. In one example, the handle element 303 may include an opening 305 designed to allow a hook or D-ring 306 or other connecting element to be inserted or latched at one end to the handle element 303 and at the other end to the animal leash 313. In some embodiments, the opening 305 may also be designed to allow a user's hand to reach into the opening to grip the handle element 303. In some embodiments, the handle element 303 may include a hook or other component to allow the handle element 303 to be directly attached to the animal leash 313.

[0034] In another embodiment, the fecal adhesion element (e.g., fecal adhesion element 300) may include a release pad with an overhang portion having an opening that allows a hook or D-ring 306 or other connecting element to be inserted into or through the overhang portion at one end and into or through an animal leash 313 at the other end.

[0035] In one exemplary embodiment (schematically shown) Figure 4 The animal feces removal device is configured to be releasably held by a gripping tool 440. For example, the feces adhesion element 400 of the device may include notches on opposite sides to receive the gripper of the gripping tool 440. In another example, the feces adhesion element 400 may include rough patches or other suitable patches on opposite ends to facilitate gripping of the device by the gripping tool.

[0036] exist Figure 4In the example shown, the gripping tool 440 includes a telescopic rod having a clamp 441 located at the distal end (D) of the rod. The clamp 441 can be operated by a lever or other control element at the proximal end (P) of the rod. The fecal adhesion element 400 is held by the clamp 441, for example, by clamping the fecal adhesion element on opposite sides of the clamp 441, or for example as... Figure 4 The device is closed around the handle 403 by clamp 441, such that the sticky side 401 of the fecal adhesion element 400 faces away from the user holding the grasping tool 440 at the proximal end (P) of the rod. The user (not shown) can then use the grasping tool 440 to bring the sticky side 401 of the device into contact with animal feces (not shown), the adhesive properties of the adhesive on the sticky side 401 causing at least a portion of the feces to adhere to the surface of the sticky side 401 in a substantially irreversible manner. Once the animal feces have been collected, the grasping tool 440 can be operated (e.g., by pressing a lever at the proximal end (P) of the rod) to open the clamp 441 and release the device, for example, into a trash can. Thus, animal feces can be collected without the user having to uncomfortably approach the distal end (D) and the feces.

[0037] Animal feces collection and removal devices according to some embodiments of the present invention may include or be made of the following materials: typically disposable foldable sheets. In one example (illustratively shown in...) Figures 5A to 5C Sheet 500 is rectangular and foldable to form an animal waste collection and removal device. Other shapes of sheet 500 can also be used.

[0038] Sheet 500 has a top surface portion T (such as...) Figure 5A (as shown) and bottom surface part B (as shown) Figure 5B (As shown). The bottom surface portion B includes at least one adhesive portion 501. The sheet 500 has a handle element 503 at at least one end. The handle element 503 may include, for example, a flap with an opening configured to allow the handle element 503 to be held in the user's hand.

[0039] Sheet 500 can be folded by itself (e.g.) Figure 5B (As shown by the dashed arrow), causing the handle element 503 to protrude from the bottom surface portion B away from the adhesive portion 501 (as shown by the dashed arrow). Figure 5C As shown), this allows the handle element 503 to be held in the user's hand and the sticky part 501 to come into contact with the animal feces without the user's hand having to be near the animal feces.

[0040] like Figure 5BAs shown, sheet 500 can be folded, for example, along a fold line (FL) such that handle element 503 is close to a central region of sheet 500. This central region is designed to allow handle element 503 to be pushed through sheet 500 to protrude from bottom surface portion B. For example, this central region may include a slit 507 to allow handle 503 to be pushed through slit 507.

[0041] The adhesive portion may include a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). For example, a PSA may be applied to a designated area of ​​the bottom surface portion B to form an adhesive portion 501. In some embodiments, the device may include a release liner covering one or more adhesive portions 501.

[0042] Sheet 500 may be made of compostable materials, such as paper-based compostable materials, wood-based compostable materials and / or mixtures of compostable (e.g., biodegradable) materials.

[0043] Sheet 500 may include patches or may otherwise be designed to facilitate gripping of the folded sheet by a gripping tool, such that the folded sheet can be held releasably by the gripping tool, with the adhesive portion on the bottom surface facing away from the user holding the gripping tool, thereby allowing the user's hands to be further kept away from animal feces when operating the feces collection and removal device.

[0044] Sheet 500 can be designed in different ways for different purposes. For example, sheet 500 of different sizes and / or shapes can be used to produce adhesive elements of different sizes and / or shapes.
