Abstract:
1. A device for collecting objects which comprises: a bag having an opening surrounded by a rim portion; a frame surrounding an orifice, wherein the frame is characterized by an irregular planar periphery, wherein the periphery defines a plane and is axisymmetric with respect to an axis in the plane of the periphery, and wherein the frame is formed with a peripheral groove; a ramp formed on the frame, wherein the ramp extends along a portion of the periphery of the frame and is oriented substantially perpendicular to the axis, and wherein the ramp defines a straight edge with a flat surface extending between the straight edge and the periphery, and with the flat surface of the ramp inclined at an angle “φ” relative to the axis; a retainer member dimensioned to be received into the peripheral groove of the frame for a fixed engagement of the retainer member onto the frame, to hold the rim of the bag between the frame and the retainer member for collecting objects into the bag through the orifice of the frame; a receiving unit formed at the periphery of the frame adjacent the groove, wherein the receiving unit includes an access aperture straddled by a pair of holes, wherein the holes extend through the frame into the groove; and an engagement unit formed on the retainer member, wherein the engaging unit includes a press point straddled by a pair of retention tabs, wherein upon an engagement of the retainer member onto the frame the retention tabs are received into the holes of the receiving unit and the press point is positioned in the access aperture.
