| Abstract: |
An animal excrement receptacle device with a disposable portion. A flexible resilient conduit tube is adapted to be held at the anal region, and below the tail, of an animal, a flexible bag or collector being attached to and extending rearwardly from the bag, the front of the tube supporting a combination pad and closure member which is attached to the front of the bag. The pad is of soft deformable material and is provided with a drawstring for compactly contracting it and bringing it and the attached portion of the bag into a closure position within the tube. The tube itself is detachably secured to a harness, the tube together with the bag being disposable. The upper and side portions of the conduit tube are adapted to flex with the movement of the animal's tail and body; but when the tail is raised in the act of defecation, the resilient tube assumes its full undistorted shape, thereby providing a passageway of maximum proportions for the feces.
