  • Implement for disposing of dung of a pet animal
    Patent number: 6149214
    Abstract: A implement for disposing of dung of a pet animal for catching feces before it falls to the ground. The implement for disposing of dung of a pet animal includes an elongate cylindrical member, a ring for supporting a disposal container wherein the ring has a coupler adapted to couple the ring to the elongate cylindrical member. The connection of the ring to the cylindrical member defines an obtuse angle between a plane of the ring and a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member. A generally annular member, for holding the disposal container to the support, has an open side defined by two ends that each extends outward away from the annular member. The annular member is adapted to fit over the first ring wherein each of the two ends is adapted to fit on each side of the coupler. A pin is used for securing the annular member to the coupler. The pin fits in a bore in each of the ends of the annular member and a bore of the coupler. A bag is used for catching and carrying feces.
