Patent ID: 7267381

Claim:
A dog waste-collection device and bag disposal system comprising: a. a telescoping upper handle part having two split-tubular, longitudinal pieces with said pieces being held together by a means and with said telescoping upper handle part having a thru hole at the top end; and b. a telescoping lower handle part having two distinct integral guide/slide spacer rings at a top end and an elbow-tee at a bottom end with said elbow-tee having a female positional socket with offset concentric radii on each end of said elbow-tee, said telescoping lower handle part to be slideable inside said telescoping upper handle part, so as to allow for said telescoping lower handle part to slide within said telescoping upper handle part from a closed carry position to an open working position with a downward flick of the wrist; and c. a circular collection bag rim with a break in said collection bag rim, having a male positional lug with offset concentric radii on each end of said break with each said male positional lug being insertable into each said corresponding female positional socket on each end of said elbow-tee of said telescoping lower handle part, so as to provide for said collection bag rim to pivot from the closed carry position to the open working position with a downward flick of the wrist; and d. a bag with a die-cut hole located near the open end of said bag, said bag being affixed to said device by slipping said die cut hole on one side of said bag over the top of said telescoping upper handle part and sliding said bag down said telescoping upper handle part to said elbow-tee of said telescoping lower handle part, then pushing the bottom of said bag through the inside of said collection bag rim and folding the top of said bag over the outside of entire said collection bag rim, said bag being held in place on said collection bag rim by said die-cut hole of said bag around said elbow-tee of said telescoping lower handle part, and the slight under-sizing of the diameter of said bag in relation to the diameter of said collection bag rim, and the length and drag of the top of said bag folded over said collection bag rim, and the friction of said bag against said collection bag rim, with said bag being removed from said device simply and quickly with a downward pull on said bag.
