Self-contained, portable device to collect and store animal waste
A self-contained, portable device to collect multiple events of animal waste and store it inside a sealed chamber. (Please see FIG. 1) It is comprised of an elongated chamber with a pick-up claw assembly at one end. The claw is comprised of one static and one movable piece. The claw is manipulated by a lever which is attached to the chassis by a guide that runs along the outside of the chamber. The claw assembly is comprised of one static and one moveable scoop/claw. There is a trap door inside the chamber between the scoop/claw and the storage chamber. The specimen is covered by a small square of paper to protect the claw from contamination. Once the specimen is collected in the scoop/claw, the device is inverted and the trap door is manipulated by an external lever. The specimen will translate from the scoop, past the trap door and into an elongated bag inside the chamber. The bag assembly is inserted and removed from the clean end of the internal chamber using a guide that holds the bag in place during use. A cap at the top of the tube, at the opposite side from the scoop/claw, allows for removal of the bag from the side of the chamber that has not come into contact with the animal waste.
