Vacuum system with self-closing and easily disposable bag for dog waste

Abstract

The pick-up of waste, especially dog waste, can be cumbersome, dirty, and impractical in some cases. A portable vacuum with a compostable bag at the front end of the vacuum can take away from the weight, mess, and impracticality. A mechanism for closing the compostable bag without direct touch can add to the hygiene, cleanliness, and ease of the process of picking-up waste.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 a shaft;   a first end to said shaft configured to allow a vacuum suction to collect waste into the device; and   an open end opposite the first end and connected to said shaft;   wherein said open end is configured to be closed through a closing mechanism.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device is comprised of compostable materials. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the closing mechanism is configured to be attached to a lever that allows the user to actuate the closing mechanism without directly touching the device. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the closing mechanism is a drawstring. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the closing mechanism is sides configured to be clamped shut. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising clips configured to attach to a vacuum mechanism. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device is configured to be placed at the front end of a vacuum mechanism. 
     
     
         8 . A device comprising:
 a bag configured to allow a vacuum suction to collect waste into the device; and   an open end to said bag, wherein said open end is configured to be closed through a closing mechanism;   wherein said device is comprised of compostable materials.   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the device is configured for one-time use. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8 , further comprising a compatible structure configured to lock the device into a vacuum mechanism. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the closing mechanism is a cap. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the closing mechanism is an elastic band. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the closing mechanism is a tapered plug. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the closing mechanism is a spring mechanism. 
     
     
         15 . A device comprising:
 a body comprising:
 an outer shell; 
 a motorized vacuum; 
 a power source; and 
 a cavity in front of said motorized vacuum configured to hold a disposable bag. 
   
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , further comprising a battery. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 16 , further comprising a charger. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 15 , further comprising a power button. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 15 , further comprising a mechanism to close the disposable bag. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 15 , further comprising a trigger located proximate to the power button to activate the mechanism.
