The hollow shaft 1 has such a length that the owner does not bend his / her waist when accommodating filth (about 80 cm in the present embodiment). A handle 11 is fixed to the upper end of the hollow shaft 1. A handle 12 is provided below the handle 11, and the handle 12 is inserted into an elongated hole 1 </ b> A provided in the hollow shaft 1 and fixed to an upper portion of the moving shaft 2. The distance between the handle portion 11 and the pull portion 12 is such that both hands can be gripped with one hand (in the present embodiment, approximately 7 cm). A U-shaped frame 13 having an opening directed downward is fixed to the lower end of the hollow shaft 1. A hole 13A smaller than the diameter of the hollow shaft 1 and larger than the diameter of the moving shaft 2 is provided in a portion of the frame 13 in contact with the lower end of the hollow shaft 1, and the lower end of the moving shaft 2 passes through this hole 13A. ing.
The moving shaft 2 is longer than the hollow shaft 1.

The lower end of the moving shaft 2 is fixed to a holder 4C. The moving shaft 2 is provided between the holder 4C and the frame 13.
The coil spring 5 is interposed so as to wind around the lower part of the coil. Thereby, the owner puts the handle 12 in a fixed position (FIG. 1 to FIG. 1).
When lifted from the position shown in FIG. 3), the moving shaft 2 moves upward.
The movement shaft 2 is moved downward by the action of.

The filth take-up members 3A and 3B have a shape in which a hollow cylinder is halved, and half disks 3C and 3D in which a disk is halved are fixed to one (front end) of the opening. Therefore, the other rear end has an opening. The upper ends of the waste taking members 3A and 3B are pivotally attached to a horizontally extending support shaft 14 fixed to the opening-side end of the frame 13, and the waste taking members 3A and 3B are centered on the support shaft 14. The lower end of is opened and closed.

Brackets 4Aa and 4Ab are fixed to upper portions of the peripheral walls of the filth taking members 3A and 3B.
One ends of the connecting pieces 4Ba, 4Bb are pivotally connected to the a, 4Ab. The other ends of the connecting pieces 4Ba and 4Bb are fixed to the holder 4C. Since the lower end of the moving shaft 2 is fixed to the holder 4C as described above, the lower end of the waste taking-in members 3A and 3B is opened around the support shaft 14 by lifting the moving shaft 2 by this. Has become. on the other hand,
When the lifting force is reduced, the moving shaft 2 is moved downward by the coil spring 5, so that the lower ends of the waste taking members 3A and 3B are closed.

A communication pipe 7 is fixed to the frame 13 by a fixture 15 on the rear end side of the waste taking members 3A and 3B. The distal end of the communication pipe 7 is attached in a state of being disposed so as to be in close contact with the openings at the rear ends of the waste taking members 3A and 3B. The storage bag 6 is attached so that the rear end of the communication pipe 7 is covered with the opening of the storage bag 6.
The housing bag 6 is mounted so that the tip of the opening is located between the flanges 7A and 7B provided on the outer periphery of the communication pipe 7. The upper part of the opening of the attached storage bag 6 is gripped by the clip 8. The clip 8 is connected to a substantially central portion of the hollow shaft 1 by a coil spring 9. The coil spring 9 is an elastic member that urges the clip 8 in the pulling-up direction. Therefore, when the holding bag 6 is gripped by the clip 8, the upper portion of the opening of the holding bag 6 is pulled upward, so that the lower portion of the opening of the holding bag 6 comes into close contact with the communication pipe 7, and
Securely attached. Note that a rubber member may be used instead of the coil spring 9.

A disc-shaped lid 10 is mounted inside the communication pipe so as to open and close the internal passage. Since the upper portion of the lid 10 is pivotally mounted on a horizontal shaft 16 orthogonal to the passage, the upper end of the lid 10 is rotatable in the communication pipe 7 with respect to the rear end side as shown by a two-dot broken line in FIG. 2, the rotation is prevented by stoppers 17A and 17B as shown by the dotted line in FIG. The internal passage is closed at the position indicated by the dotted line. That is, the waste intake members 3A, 3A
Although the waste collected by B can be stored in the storage bag 6, the waste does not return from the storage bag 6 to the waste intake members 3A and 3B.

The storage bag 6 only needs to have an opening capable of covering the rear end of the communication pipe 7, and may be a plastic bag or a paper bag. Alternatively, a bag 20 with a string in which a string 19 is passed through a hole 18 provided near the opening as shown in FIG. If the string 19 is gripped by the clip 8 when the bag is mounted, the entire opening of the bag is closed by the string 19, so that the entire bag can be brought into close contact with the communication pipe 7. Furthermore,
If the storage bag 6 is made of a water-soluble bag, the stored waste can be discarded in a toilet or the like without being taken out of the bag, so that the trouble in finally disposing of the waste can be reduced.

In the case of using the pet waste storage device with the storage bag configured as described above, the owner must use the storage bag 6.
, The puller 12 is pulled up to remove the waste catching member 3
Open the lower ends of A and 3B. And gradually loosen the lifting force by placing it directly above the filth. Then, the lower ends of the waste taking members 3A and 3B are closed by the action of the coil spring 5, so that the waste is scooped. Next, the hollow shaft 1 is inclined such that the tips of the waste taking members 3A and 3B, that is, the sides to which the semi-circular plates 3C and 3D are fixed face upward. As a result, the lid 10 is opened, so that the waste collecting members 3A and 3B are opened.
The waste collected in the container falls and is stored in the storage bag 6 via the communication pipe 7. After the storage of the waste, even if vibration is applied by walking or running, the already stored waste does not jump out of the storage bag 6 by the action of the lid 10. If the storage bag 6 is mounted at home, the process from taking in the filth to storage can be performed with only one hand during a walk.

In the present embodiment, the lower ends of the waste take-up members 3A and 3B are closed by the urging force of the coil spring 5 inserted between the frame 13 and the holder 4C. Support shaft 14 and waste taking-in members 3A, 3B
A spring member such as a coil spring may be used between the upper end of the spring and the upper end of the spring.

Further, as shown in FIG.
Instead of A and 3B, a plurality of slit portions 22 may be formed in the lower part of the peripheral wall of the waste taking members 23A and 23B. According to this, even if the dirt is taken in together with the gravel or the like, the gravel or the like falls out of the slit portion 22, so that anything other than the dirt enters the storage bag 6.

As described above, according to the present invention, the waste collected by the waste take-in member can be stored in the storage bag in which the waste is mounted simply by tilting the device. There is no need to carry the device and the storage box separately. Also, since what stores waste is not a storage box but a bag such as a plastic bag, the weight is light and convenient to carry. Also, when the filth is finally discarded in a toilet or the like, only the bag needs to be removed, so that there is no trouble.
For example, if a water-soluble bag is used as the bag, the bag can be flushed directly into the toilet, so that it does not require much trouble. Further, since the holding bag is attached to the communication pipe by the gripping member and the elastic member in a state of being in close contact with the communication pipe, the storage bag does not fall out of the communication pipe after storing the waste.

Preferably, the apparatus further comprises a lid which opens and closes the internal passage of the communication member and opens when the waste taken in by the waste intake member is stored in the storage bag, so that vibration is applied after the storage of the waste. No filth rushes out of the storage bag. More preferably, since a plurality of slits are formed in the lower part of the waste taking member, even if the waste is taken in together with the gravel or the like, the gravel or the like falls from the slit to the outside, so that only the waste can be accommodated.

According to the apparatus of the present invention, not only filth such as pet droppings but also garbage such as empty cans or broken pieces such as glass or cigarettes can be stored.
