Dog Point (dog toilet)
  • The problem to be solved: the reduce of dog soil from public areas
  • Definition:
    The establishment of defecation places for dog in public areas with multifunction establishment.
  • Presentation:
    Solutions up till now tried to attain the active, manual co-operation of the person walking the dog, with the lack of success characteristic of the given public areas. The invention approaches the problem from a basically new direction. It is based on the instinctive behaviour of dogs. The aim and the result: for the excrement to be removed from the pavement and the walking surface. The defecation place established for dogs is an establishment set up in the parking lane, built in to the road or pavement surface, to appropriate place, in appropriate form, treatment with the appropriate agent, with the necessary frequency of positioning. The establishment, depending on the local prescriptions, could also be set up in an island, /hollow/. The pavements, parking lanes, parks, playgrounds become much cleaner, public hygiene and public condition is significantly improved. These facilities are protected by the parked vehicles, they do not disturb the traffic. The number of parked cars is not restricted either, as the free space between the cars is only set in one place instead of being accidental. These establishment make the street rain water drains and other public utility installations /water, firewater, gas shut off valves, etc./ accessible at any time. The construction of these facilities is not prohibited by relevant prescriptions or decrees. The facilities may be made self-financing. With the application of this invention the amount of dog excrement in public areas can be radically and quickly reduced. The invention gives an efficient instrument to the owners, maintainers of the public areas in the place of the one way, dog owner addressing instruments used up till now with little result.

  • Application:
    At public areas.
  • Advantages:
    The dog becomes activated, it does not require the active co-operation of the person walking the dog. The effectiveness of the facilities is automatically strengthened. The formation is cheap, vandal-proof, does not require maintenance, its cleaning requires less total work than the present situations.
  • Stage of development: feasible developed technology and material by myself.
  • Documentation available:
