ABSTRACT:
There are a number of situations where objects must be picked up and transported to a remote location for future disposal. The hand held grappling tool of this invention is designed to pick up and transport an animal carcass, but can be used for any object. A pair of pickup plates having sharp spikes on their interior surface are each supported on the lower end of a leaf spring. The two leaf springs are attached to the lower end of a hollow tube which has a handle rigidly attached near its upper end. An actuator mechanism comprises a cable attached to the pickup plates adjacent the lower end of each leaf spring and extending upward into the hollow tube to a trigger device. The two cables position the pickup plates to pick up the carcass by displacing the trigger device. A first trigger device distance places the pickup plates in a first position, with a first angular orientation so that the spikes contact the carcass. A second trigger device distance places the pickup plates in a second position, with a second angular orientation for the spikes to penetrate the carcass. The trigger device can be alternated between the first and second distances to help the spikes penetrate the object. The object is transported by one hand on the handle and another hand on the upper end of the hollow tube to provide increased lifting ability and to reduce fatigue on the operator.
