- Full Description
-
Irish SME specialising in the invention and design of various products seeking to identify a manufacturer of their patented "pooper-scooper" device. The device looks like an ordinary stick and when required a slide is pulled back on the stick revealing a three pronged triangle which opens up and collects the animal waste into an internal bag. There is no similar device like this on the global market.
The lifting elements of the stick are concealed so it just looks like an ordinary walking stick, thus giving the stick a level of sophistication that is not apparent in other "pooper scoopers". The stick will be made from stainless steel (prongs) and aluminum (the stick).
The fact the the walker does not have to bend down to get the animal waste is a distinct advantage. The stick is ideal for people with back pain or back issues, giving them support while walking and then enabling them to pick up the animal waste without bending down. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
- The ideal partner will have the capacity to manufacture the device at a reasonable cost. The manufacturer will have the capacity to manufacture the stainless steel prongs and the aluminum body, and complete the product assembly and packaging.
