ABSTRACT:
A container scoop and scraper device operable by a user's fingers and opposing thumb of one hand forms a container around a grasped object or material. The device includes a first arcuate scoop adjoining an elliptical right side to an elliptical left side along a minor arc on both sides, a front edge of the first scoop forms a scraper. The device also includes an ergonomic concave pocket to receive the user's thumb and extends the width of the device. Similarly, a second arcuate scoop is configured to adjoin elliptical sides along a major arc, and form a second scraper. An ergonomic convex pocket receives the user's fingers and also extends the width of the device. A hinge adjoins the first scoop to the second scoop and disposes the first scoop sides adjacent the second scoop sides to form a closed rigid container around a grasped object or materials.
