Abstract

A pet feces bag dispenser and carrying apparatus is provided comprising a first portion forming a first open base of a truncated hexagonal pyramid with faces extending upward from the base to an opening at the top forming an first inner open volume. A second portion forming a second open base, six faces of the second hexagonal pyramid extending downward from a second base opening thereby forming a second inner open volume including a solid bottom plane formed at a common top edge of the second faces. Two axels are affixed at opposing points on inner surfaces of the first portion enabled to hold a roll of feces bags, and an end of the roll extends up through the opening. The bases come together in a closed position aligned together with a hinged side opposite a means for keeping the bases adhered together in the closed position.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A pet feces bag dispenser and carrying apparatus, comprising:
 a first portion having a first hexagonal truncated pyramid with six faces forming a first open base of the first hexagonal pyramid, the faces are walls having a thickness extending upward from the base to an opening at the top of the first hexagonal pyramid, thereby forming an first inner open volume;   a second portion having a second hexagonal truncated pyramid shape with six faces forming a second open base, the six faces of the second hexagonal pyramid are second walls having a second thickness extending downward from the second base opening thereby forming a second inner open volume including a solid bottom plane formed at a common top edge of the second walls; and   two axles affixed at opposing points on inner surfaces of the first portion enabled to hold a roll of feces bags, and an end of the roll constituting a single bag connected to the roll of bags extends up through the opening;   wherein the first and second bases come together in a closed position wherein a bottom edge of each of the walls are aligned and fixed together with a hinged side opposite a means for keeping the first and second bases adhered together in the closed position.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second inner volume is less than the first inner volume. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the opposing points are located at opposing linear acute angles formed at an intersection of two of the faces. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein an interface wall is formed, horizontal and planar, between the roll of feces bag and the opening, the interface wall having a slit opening allowing the single bag to be fed through the slit and out through the opening. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein a second slit opening intersects orthogonally at a midpoint of the first slit opening. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a latch interface is molded into an outer surface of the first portion accepting a latch connected to a second apparatus or a user via a loop, tether or belt. 
     
     
         7 . A method for dispensing feces bags and carrying feces, comprising steps for:
 (a) providing a first portion having a first hexagonal truncated pyramid with six faces forming a first open base of the first hexagonal pyramid, the faces are walls having a thickness extending upward from the base to an opening at the top of the first hexagonal pyramid, thereby forming an first inner open volume;   (b) providing a second portion having a second hexagonal truncated pyramid shape with six faces forming a second open base, the six faces of the second hexagonal pyramid are second walls having a second thickness extending downward from the second base opening thereby forming a second inner open volume including a solid bottom plane formed at a common top edge of the second walls;   (c) fixing two axles at opposing points on inner surfaces of the first portion holding a roll of feces bags, and extending an end of the roll constituting a single bag connected to the roll of bags up through the opening;   (d) connecting a bottom edge of each of the walls in an aligned position via a hinge positioned at a side opposite a means for keeping the first and second bases adhered together in the closed position.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the second inner volume is less than the first inner volume. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the opposing points are located at opposing linear acute angles formed at an intersection of two of the faces. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the bag end is supported by providing an interface wall formed, horizontal and planar, between the roll of feces bag and the opening, the interface wall having a slit opening allowing the single bag to be fed through the slit and out through the opening. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein a second slit opening intersects orthogonally at a midpoint of the first slit opening. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein a latch interface is molded into an outer surface of the first portion accepting a latch connected to a second apparatus or a user via a loop, tether or belt.
