Dog's waste catcher

Abstract

A simple, small, light weight and economical device for catching and holding a dog's waste before it falls on the ground. The device would be held on the dog's tail by a fastener with a simple clip mechanism. Two flexible retractable arms, in the shape of a trapezoid with no base, are attached to the fastener enabling a simple adjustable folded diaper to be caught and placed in the right position to catch and hold the dog's waste before it falls on the ground or grass. When not in use the device might be folded and become compact and easy to carry.

1 . An assembly for collection of canine feces, comprising:
 a fastener adapted to fasten at or near a base of a tail of a dog comprising:
 two opposing arms; 
 a coil positioned to force said arms towards each other; and 
 a manually actuatable disengaging element to manually force said arms away from each other; 
   a feces receptacle including an open end; and   a feces receptacle mount comprising:
 a connecting element adapted to connect said mount to said fastener; 
 a support element adapted to support in an open state said feces receptacle such that said open end is oriented towards an anus of a dog to which said fastener is fastened; and 
 a tension element functionally associated with said connecting element and adapted to apply tension to said support element, such that said open end is encouraged towards the anus of a dog to which said fastener is fastened. 
   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said opposing arms of said fastener includes at least two protrusions on an inner side of said at least one of said opposing arms. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said opposing arms of said fastener are fabricated from a rigid material. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein the rigid material is plastic. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said feces receptacle is colored to match a color of a dog. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said feces receptacle is adapted to enlarge from a folded state when receiving canine feces. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said tension element comprises a coil. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said support element is positioned substantially perpendicular to said fastener. 
     
     
         9 . An assembly for collection of canine feces, comprising:
 a fastener adapted to fasten at or near a base of a tail of a dog, comprising:
 two opposing arms; 
 a coil positioned to force said arms towards each other; and 
 a manually actuatable disengaging element to manually force said arms away from each other; 
   a feces receptacle including an open end;   a feces receptacle mount adapted to hold the feces receptacle around said open end such that said open end is held open and further adapted to connect to said fastener, such that when said fastener is attached to a base of a tail of a given dog and said receptacle mount is connected to said fastener, said receptacle mount is positioned directly behind an anus of the given dog and forced by tension towards the anus of the given dog; and   a tension element between said receptacle mount and said fastener creating the tension forcing said receptacle mount towards the anus of the given dog.   
     
     
         10 . The assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein at least one of said opposing arms of said fastener includes at least two protrusions on an inner side of said at least one of said opposing arms. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein said opposing arms of said fastener are fabricated from a rigid material. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly according to  claim 11 , wherein the rigid material is plastic. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein said feces receptacle is colored to match a color of a dog. 
     
     
         14 . The assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein said feces receptacle is adapted to enlarge from a folded state when receiving canine feces. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the tension force applied to said receptacle mount is caused by a coil. 
     
     
         16 . The assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein said receptacle mount, when connected to said fastener, is positioned substantially perpendicular to said fastener.
