ABSTRACT:
A scoop having a screw blade housed within a cylindrical housing. The scoop is intended to remove semisold materials from the ground. A handle extending above the housing rotates the blade. Preferably, the scoop incorporates a drive for translating linear motion to rotary motion, so that the user need only press the handle downwardly when the device is placed over material to be lifted and removed. A closure closes the bottom of the housing to retain material, and is swung out of the way to expose the screw blade for deployment. Material is removed by reversing direction of the screw blade. The preferred application is enabling ready removal of excrement left by animals. When optionally combined with a retractable leash, a pet owner can conveniently observe municipal ordinances requiring animal wastes to be removed by owners walking their pets while requiring but one hand both to hold the novel scoop and to control the animal's leash.
