Patent ID: 8109547

Claim:
A pet sanitation device and a pet sanitation bag in combination, comprising: a pet sanitation bag having an opening defined by first and second linear parts; a pet sanitation device comprising a frame, an elongated handle and an adjusting assembly, said frame having a generally loop-shape configuration including at least two spaced-apart substantially parallel side members and an elongated receiving bottom portion connecting said side members, said elongated receiving bottom portion is adapted to receive and hold said first part of the bag opening; said adjusting assembly comprising at least a control member slidable along the elongated handle and a transition element having distal and proximal ends; the proximal end of the transition element is movably associated with the control member; a closing arrangement having an elongated bar positioned transversally to a longitudinal axis of the frame and movable within the frame in the direction along said longitudinal axis, said elongated bar is adapted for receiving the second portion of the bag opening; said distal end of the transition element is pivotably associated with the elongated bar of the closing arrangement, so that said distal end is simultaneously involved into a pivotal motion at the elongated bar and a linear motion with the bar along the side members of the frame in direction toward and direction away from the receiving bottom portion of the frame, so that when the elongated bar approaches the elongated bottom portion of the frame the first and second portions of the bag opening approach each other closing the sanitation bag opening, and when the elongated bar is moved away from the elongated bottom portion of the frame, the first portion and the second portion of the bag opening are spaced from each other and the pet sanitation bag is opened.
