Sanitary collection and disposal device

Abstract

This invention relates to a disposable device for handling, collecting and disposing of odiferous, messy, unsanitary or undesirable materials. More particularly, this invention is directed to a device having a glove portion, a wrist portion and an attached bag portion extending from the wrist portion, adapted for use on either hand of a wearer, affording the wearer an enhanced means of grasping and manipulating odiferous, messy, unsanitary or undesirable materials or objects while avoiding contact with said materials or objects.

1 . A device for manipulation, containment and disposal of odiferous messy, unsanitary or undesirable materials or objects having an inner and an outer surface comprising: 
 a glove portion having one or more receptacles for receiving one or more digits of a human hand and an upper portion;    a wrist portion having an upper portion and a lower portion contiguously attached to said upper portion of said glove portion at said lower portion of said wrist portion; and    a bag portion having a base portion extending upwardly and outwardly at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis along the length of said device, from said wrist portion, and having an upper portion, said upper portion having an opening.    
   
   
       2 . The glove portion of  claim 1  wherein said glove portion has a single receptacle for the fourth and fifth digit of a wearer's hand having a straight edge suitable for scraping and gathering liquefied materials.  
   
   
       3 . The wrist portion of  claim 1  wherein said wrist portion is comprised of an elastomeric material fitting a wearer's wrist.  
   
   
       4 . The wrist portion of  claim 1  wherein said wrist portion is extends a minimum of one half inch from said upper portion of said glove portion.  
   
   
       5 . The bag portion of  claim 1  wherein said bag portion extends a minimum of six inches from said upper portion of said wrist portion.  
   
   
       6 . The angle of  claim 1  wherein said angle is at least 15 degrees from said longitudinal axis providing stiffness to said bag portion to prevent said bag portion from flopping over onto said glove portion when in use.  
   
   
       7 . The opening of  claim 1  wherein said opening is sufficient to allow said bag portion to be reversed upon itself to capture said wrist portion and said glove portion.  
   
   
       8 . The opening of  claim 1  wherein said opening is sufficient to allow gathering of said upper portion of said bag portion to form compressed strips for tying and for sealing after being reversed to capture said wrist portion and said glove portion.  
   
   
       9 . The Bag portion of  claim 5  wherein said bag portion has a length sufficient to allow said upper portion of said bag portion to be tied into a knot for sealing after being reversed to capture said wrist portion and said glove portion.  
   
   
       10 . The bag portion of  claim 1  wherein said upper portion of said bag portion is folded over upon itself to accept a string to allow cinching said opening for containment of said glove portion and said wrist portion and said odiferous messy, unsanitary or undesirable materials or objects within.  
   
   
       11 . A glove and bag combination for manipulation, containment and disposal of odiferous messy, unsanitary or undesirable materials or objects having an inner and an outer surface comprising a glove portion, a wrist portion and a bag portion, the wrist portion of sufficient size to afford support to and separation of the glove portion from the bag portion, the bag portion extending upwardly and outwardly from the wrist portion along the arm of the wearer, having an open upper portion being of sufficient width and length to allow the bag portion to be reversed upon itself enclosing the wrist portion and glove portion and undesirable materials and allowing the ends of the upper portion of the bag portion to be grasped and tied into a secure knot or to allow the upper portion of the bag portion to be looped about itself, forming a secure knot, containing the undesirable materials therein.  
   
   
       12 . The glove and bag combination of  claim 11  being fabricated of a disposable, environmentally safe material.
