ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for grasping objects. It is particularly useful for grasping objects on the ground with the user in a standing position. The apparatus has particular utility in picking up animal droppings. it consists of two long arms with long, rigid handles and shorter, resilient shanks that cross and are pivotally connected to one another where they cross. Adjacent the pivot, each shank carries an object grasping head. When the heads are in engagement and the shanks are undeformed, the handles diverge so that the handles can be brought together to provide considerable force for grasping a thin-walled object such as a can, bag or the like. When the handles are brought together, they may be held in place using a loop of thong on one of the handles.
