Cartridge-based pooper-scooper
A pooper scooper waste removal device comprising shell pieces with magnets and matching metal strips for removably housing an interior cartridge with a lid piece having an arrow-shaped locking tab and an interior cartridge base piece having a slot for receiving the tab and a plurality of parallel sticks for engaging the animal waste to be removed, such that the cartridge lid piece and the cartridge base piece are easily tab-locked to form a single disposable poop-filled cartridge box to be discarded, such that new interior cartridge pieces may then be loaded into the shell pieces for future waste removal.
DOG WASTE REMOVAL APPARATUS
An apparatus for removing dog waste is disclosed which includes a bottom panel (235) for scooping up a piece of dog waste from a ground, a left side panel (122L) and a right side panel (122R) both attached to a back panel (223), each of the left side panel (122L), the right side panel (122R) and the back panel (223) also attached to the bottom panel (235) to form a concave space with only one front opening, and a front panel (102) pivotally connected to a top edge of the back panel (223), wherein when the front panel (102) pivots to a first position the front panel (102) reaches the bottom panel (235) and completely covers the front opening, and when the front panel (102) pivots to a second position there is a gap between the front panel (102) and the bottom panel (235) for accommodating the piece of dog waste.
Dog Waste Removal Apparatus
A paperboard cut into a predetermined shape to be folded into a box for removing dog waste is disclosed which includes a first rectangular section (235) serving as a bottom panel for the box, a pair of fold-up members (342L and 342R) flanking the first rectangular section (235), a second rectangular section (223) juxtaposing the first rectangular section (235) and serving as a back panel of the box, a pair of side sections (122L and 122R) flanking the second rectangular section (223) serving as side panels of the box, a third rectangular section (102) juxtaposing the second rectangular section (223) and serving as a front panel of the box, and a pair of side tab sections (108L and 108R) flanking the third rectangular section (102) for engaging a pair of side slots (124L and 124R) formed on the pair of side sections (122L and 122R), respectively.
Animal waste collecting assembly and method
An animal waste collecting assembly includes a pole defining a handle. The pole is elongated and has a first end and a second end. A frame releasably engages and supports a plastic bag and includes a closed loop attached to and extending away from the second end of the pole. The closed loop has an end member positioned opposite of the pole. The end member is linear for a distance greater than 4.0 inches and is orientated perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pole. A plurality of tines is attached to and extends away from the end member. The tines are co-planar with respect to each other and lie in a plane angled back toward the pole. A clip is mounted on the pole adjacent to the second end. The clip releasably secures an edge of the plastic bag to the pole.
Compressed fluid pet waste cleanup apparatus
A compressed fluid pet waste cleanup apparatus for cleaning up pet waste includes a handle coupled to a shaft. A housing is coupled to the shaft and has a housing bottom side with a receiving aperture and a release aperture extending through to a housing inside. A separator is coupled to a housing bottom side between the receiving aperture and the release aperture. At least one compressed fluid tank is coupled to the shaft with a fluid tube is extending through the housing. At least one spray nozzle is coupled to the fluid tubes adjacent the receiving aperture of the housing. Each spray nozzle has a release valve. At least one trigger is coupled to the handle and is in operational communication with the release valve of one of the spray nozzles.
MATERIAL RELOCATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RELOCATION OF MATERIALS
A material relocation device for relocation of materials includes a relocation base for the relocation of materials, and a material relocation structure connected to the relocation base for the relocation of materials towards and away from a user. The relocation structure includes a turning flap structure to be turned according to a movement direction of material relocation. The material relocation device can turn the flap structure and a counter-structure for setting the flap structure to a desired position thereof, in such a way that in a first movement direction the flap structure turns and allows the materials onto the relocation base. In a second relocation direction the flap structure closes and holds the materials on the relocation base, and when switching from the second relocation direction to the first movement direction the materials are released from the relocation base.

Pet waste vacuum
The pet waste vacuum is a vacuum cleaner. The pet waste vacuum is configured for use in picking up the elimination of a companion animal from a surface. The pet waste vacuum incorporates a housing module, a vacuum module, a storage module, a collection module, and a control circuit. The housing contains the vacuum module, the storage module, a collection module, and the control circuit. The storage module is the structure that receives and contains the elimination. The vacuum module provides the motive forces necessary to: a) draw the elimination into the collection module; and, b) move the elimination through the collection module and into the storage module. The control circuit is an electric circuit that: a) controls the operation of the pet waste vacuum; and, b) provides the electrical energy necessary to operate the pet waste vacuum.
Device and Method for Storing Articles
A device for storing articles on a tool, such as a gripper tool, allowing for subsequent use of the gripper without having to first discard or remotely store the article(s). The device may consist of a storage container, tubular support member, sealer/compactor, and ejector. The arm of a tool moves axially inside the inner diameter of the tubular member. The same tubular member allows for the container to slide axially on the outer diameter. The container and gripper tool's relative motion enables gripped articles to be moved into and out of the container thru the containers compliant pass-thru end. The seal/compactor is attached to the gripper side of the tool and manipulates the article for compaction within the container and seals the container pass-thru end to prevent loss of articles. The same relative motion of the container and the tubular member allows for the ejector to push articles through the pass-thru end, and out of the container.
