ABSTRACT:
A device for gathering and lifting leaves that utilizes a specially designed pair of leaf scoops that are pivotally secured to each other in opposing orientation via their handles. Each of the leaf scoops is provided with a separate pivotal axis that extends through the handle of the leaf scoop. The leaf scoops are offset from each other so that the handles can be operated like the handles of a pair of scissors in order to open and close the heads of the leaf scoops relative to each other, thereby capturing leaves between the scoop heads so the leaves can be transported and so the leaves can be released when the leaves have been transported to the desired location. The device is provided with a central handle that attaches midway between the pivotal axes so that the user can grasp the central handle when lifting the device and the leaves.
