BACKGROUND & PRIOR ART
“The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in-and-of-themselves may also be inventions.”
Now a days, technology dominates and makes people’s task in different domains. Yet rag pickers still struggle every day for living. No such technology has been developed for the rag pickers. Rag pickers used traditional method for rag picking; they walk several km. and pick up the garbage with bare hand and foot, they carry the bag full of garbage on the back. The rag pickers sometime while collecting rags from the garbage dumps comes in contact with rags which are toxic, corrosive, flammable, explosive, etc. and these substances are hazardous in nature. Bio- Medical waste, such as needles, syringes, old medicines and soiled bandages etc. are very dangerous to the rag pickers who pick them up from the garbage dumps and can cause respiratory, skin or other lethal diseases.
Musculoskeletal conditions include conditions that affect joints, bones, muscles, spine such as back, shoulder, neck pain etc. In India, like many developing countries, rag picking requires repeated heavy physical activity such as lifting, carrying, pulling, and pushing. Rag pickers walk several kilometers carrying a bag on their shoulders and go for rag picking. Most of the rag pickers pick up garbage in the cold summer and rainy seasons without slippers and other safety instruments, due to which their feet get injured. They pick up all kinds of garbage with bare hands without any safety equipment, which often contains many harmful, dangerous and sharp substances, because of the desperate and filthy conditions that they live and work in, it is common for the rag pickers to develop worms, anemia and respiratory problems, as well as a host of other health related problems.
The rag pickers are involved in very dangerous work in the polluted environment searching certain recyclable items out of hazardous waste dumped by people. They are often exposed to medical or chemical waste and to noxious fumes. There is a high prevalence of disease among rag pickers due to their exposure to hazardous and toxic materials such as bottles and containers with chemical residues, contaminated needles, and heavy metals from batteries. Some of the common problems of the rag pickers are adverse environment, poor working posture, walking long distances on foot and often pulling heavy carts as they collect and separate waste. It was found during survey that majority of the rag pickers respondents suffer from ergonomic problems such as musculoskeletal or postural discomfort and health injuries while collecting the waste. During survey, it was observed that rag pickers were the most vulnerable group. Thus on the basis of information collected from the rag pickers and observation, it was decided to make a device for the rag pickers to overcome these problems. This device has multiple features, with the use of stick and its adjustable height the waste can be picked up easily. Also they do not need to pick up the garbage directly and with bare hands. Simply press and release the trigger to close or open the two independent jaws and with the help of silicon suction gripper waste can be picked up and put it in to garbage bag. An emergency kit has been installed in this stick so that the rag pickers can keep their required material in it and a torch has also been installed so that they can go to pick up the garbage without any hassle even during the night.
The garbage bag is portable and can be expanded and collapsed according to need, so can easily store it anywhere when not in use and because of its light weighted rag pickers can easily lift it and take it whenever go for rag picking. With the help of its three strong wheels, the garbage bag can be easily carried from one place to another. This bag has enough space for putting the garbage in to it and has zip on the top to prevent the garbage from coming out. The developed tool is easy to operate. The ergonomic and other health related problems of the rag pickers will be solved and their work will be done comfortably. Therefore the quality of life of the rag pickers will be automatically enhanced.

EXAMPLE
Rag pickers carry bags full of garbage on their shoulder and back, they walk several kilometers to collect the waste. They did not have any safety gear. On the basis of information collected from rag pickers and after careful observation, we developed a tool called PIKEZEE PRO that would be fulfilling the purpose of providing comfort and safety to the rag pickers while collecting the waste. This tool is more user friendly, easy to operate and for carrying around. There is no need to bending over, stretching or squatting again and again to pick up the waste; long litter gripper can grab, pick or hold the waste very perfectly and strongly. With the use of trigger handle without contacting or touching the waste, waste can be picked up. This stick has one emergency kit for keeping essential items and torch helps in picking up garbage at night and seeing and protecting poisonous creatures. This garbage bag can be made bigger or smaller via zipper as per requirement. Do not feel uncomfortable or pain while carry the garbage bag on the back, because it’s wide, strong and long straps will not make you feel uncomfortable and painful. It also gets sturdy wheels so that the garbage bag can be pulled easily when it becomes heavy. There is enough space in the bag to keep the garbage and one zip on the top to prevent the waste from coming out.
