at least one rotatable rear wheel affixed to said housing;
a pivoting, telescoping hollow handle with a water jet cleaning system integrated therein, affixed at a rear of said housing;
a disposal hatch pivotally disposed at the rear of said housing;
a bag removal hatch pivotally disposed at the top of said housing;
a disposal bag retention flange, removably affixed in said housing adjacent said bag removal hatch;
a rotatable collection blade rotor assembly comprised of an axle with at least one series of blades extending normally therefrom, said collection blade rotor assembly that is directly coupled to at least two front wheels, and is rotatably mounted such that said blades reside in said housing;
an adjustable scoop with a projecting point thereon that extends below said blades and is pivotally affixed about said axle.
14. The feces collection device of claim 13 wherein said series of blades comprises a front blade, and intermediate blade and a back blade wherein said back blade extends further from said axle than said intermediate blade and said intermediate blade extends further from the axle than does said front blade.
15. The feces collection device of claim 14 wherein said back blade has a leading edge bent away from a counterclockwise direction of rotation of said collection blade rotor assembly.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An pressure therapy apparatus comprising:
a first walled enclosure including two or more hollow chambers; separated by at least one partition traversing between walls of the first walled enclosure: at least one valve disposed in the at least one partition separating the two or more hollow chambers in the first walled enclosure;
a flexible membrane shaped to couple to an external body part spanning across an aperture defined by a perimeter of the first walled enclosure;
a fluid within the two or more hollow chambers of the first walled enclosure;
a first fluid pumping device coupled to two or more hollow chambers; and
a fluid pressure regulation device coupled to the first fluid pumping device, wherein the fluid pressure regulation device is operatively coupled to a detector receiving physiological data associated with the body part.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising one or more membranes across one or more apertures defined by a portion of the first walled enclosure.
3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the membrane is shaped to cover a portion of a human torso.
4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a strap shaped to secure the apparatus to the body part.
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the detector collects and reports the received physiological data.
