  By the way, in such an excrement collector for animals, since the whole main body 5 was exposed directly, there existed a problem that it did not look good. Therefore, even if it sees from a surrounding person, it will become easy to be recognized as a tool for taking excrement, and a surrounding person may feel uncomfortable.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an animal excrement collector in which the entire main body is not exposed and the appearance quality is improved.

  In order to achieve such an object, the animal excrement collector of the present invention has one piece and the other piece that can be opened and closed via a hinge and is always urged in the opening direction. In the animal excrement collector provided with a body capable of inserting and holding animal excrement from the opening when the opening formed at the leading edge of the opening is opened and holding the excrement inserted when the opening is closed, The main body is provided with a bag-like cover that covers the main body and has an opening that exposes the opening of the main body.

Thereby, since the main body is covered with the cover, it looks as if it is a handbag, and the appearance quality is improved. Therefore, at first glance, it becomes difficult to be recognized as a tool for taking excrement.
To remove the excrement excreted by the animal from, for example, the road using this animal excrement collector, insert the excrement into the opening of the main unit, and in this state, hold the main unit from above the cover. By grasping this, the opening is closed, and excrement is taken in between one piece and the other piece, and this is stored and held.
At this time, since the excrement can be stored and held in the main body through the opening of the main body exposed from the opening of the cover, the excrement can be taken in by closing the opening of the main body without removing the cover from the main body.
Thereafter, the main body is lifted, the opening of the main body is opened at an appropriate place outside the road, and the excrement stored and held in the main body is discarded.

Moreover, it is set as the structure provided with the handle which can suspend the said main body as needed.
When carrying the main body, it becomes possible to carry it with the handle, making it easy to carry.

Further, if necessary, a belt provided across the opening and having one end fastened to the cover, and a locking member that detachably locks the other end of the belt to the cover are configured. ing.
In this case, when removing the excrement using the main body, the belt is not straddled over the opening of the main body, but when the main body is not used, the belt is locked by the locking member.
As a result, the main body is held by the belt when not in use, such as when being carried, so the main body is stabilized inside the cover.
In addition, when the belt locking position is a place where the opening of the main body is kept closed, for example, the place where the excrement is excreted and the processing place where the excrement is disposed are separated, When carrying excrement to a processing place, it becomes possible to maintain the state in which the opening of the main body is closed without grasping the main body, thereby facilitating carrying.

Furthermore, the locking position locked by the locking member of the belt can be adjusted as necessary.
Thereby, for example, the belt locking position can be adjusted to both a position where the belt can be locked with the opening of the main body open and a position where the opening of the main body is held closed. Therefore, the locking position can be adjusted according to the amount of excrement taken into the main body.
In addition, when the contents are not put in the main body, if the belt is locked with the opening of the main body open, not only does the belt hang from the cover and does not get in the way, but the opening of the main body is always open. Compared with the case where the belt is locked at the position where the closed state is held, the main body is hardly locked against the biasing force of the hinge, so the biasing force of the hinge can be made difficult to weaken. .

Moreover, the attachment means which attaches the said cover to the said main body so that attachment or detachment is possible is provided as needed.
In this case, the cover is attached to the main body using attachment means. Thereby, even if it has only a cover, a main body cannot be removed from a cover and carrying becomes easy.
Moreover, since it is detachable and the cover can be removed from the main body, the main body can be replaced when the main body is soiled, and when the removed cover is cleaned, the cleaning operation can be facilitated.
Furthermore, if necessary, the attachment means is constituted by a string that is stretched along the inside of the hinge of the main body.
It has a simple structure, and the cover can be easily attached to the main body by binding the strings.

Moreover, it is set as the structure which provided the bending piece formed by bending the opening edge formed in the said one piece and the other piece to the mutually opposing side as needed.
Thereby, when taking the excrement, when the opening of the main body is closed, the bent piece enters between the ground and the excrement, and the excrement can be scooped up, and the excrement can be easily taken into the main body.
Further, the main body is made of cardboard having elasticity as required.
Thereby, the manufacturing cost of a main body is reduced.

According to the animal excrement collector of the present invention, since the cover for covering the main body is provided, the main body is covered with the cover, the appearance is improved, and the appearance quality can be improved. Therefore, at first glance, it can be made difficult to be recognized as a tool for taking excrement.
Moreover, since the cover has a bag shape having an opening for exposing the opening of the main body, excrement can be stored and held in the main body without removing the cover from the main body.

The cover 20 is provided with a handle 25 that can suspend the cover 20 together with the main body 10. The handle 25 is formed of a cloth band 25a. One end 26 and the other end 27 of the band 25a are sewn to the cover 20, and a part thereof is formed in a ring shape.

  Furthermore, the cover 20 is provided over the opening 13 so that one end 31 is fixed to the cover 20, and the other end 32 side of the belt 30 is detachably locked to the cover 20. Is provided. The belt 30 is configured by extending one end 26 of the belt-like body 25a. Furthermore, the locking member 35 is constituted by a so-called snap button. The snap button is detachably engageable with the male member 36 provided on the back surface of the extending portion 28 formed by extending the other end 27 of the belt-like body 25a and the other end 32 of the belt 30. And a female member 37. A plurality of female members 37 are provided (two in the embodiment) so that the locking positions locked by the locking members 35 of the belt 30 can be adjusted. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the female member 37 is attached to the other end 32 side of the belt 30 so that the belt 30 can be locked in a state where the opening 13 of the main body 10 is open, and to the belt 30. The main body 10 is provided at a position where the main body 10 can be held with the belt 30 closing the opening 13 of the main body 10. 1 and 2, reference numeral 39 denotes a button that makes it easy to attach and detach the snap button.

Moreover, the attachment means 40 which attaches the cover 20 to the main body 10 so that attachment or detachment is possible is provided. The attachment means 40 is composed of a pair of strings 41 that are stretched along the inside of the hinge 10 a of the main body 10. The pair of cords 41 is formed in a length that can be tied to each other at the center inside the main body 10.
In order to attach the cover 20 to the main body 10, the cover 20 is put on the main body 10 from the opening 21 while the belt 30 is released from the locking member 35, and the string 41 is attached to the hinge 10 a portion of the main body 10. The pair of strings 41 are tied together.

When using this animal excrement collector, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, the belt 30 is previously straddled over the opening 13 of the main body 10, and the female member 37 on the other end 32 edge side of the belt 30 is used.
