ABSTRACT:
A device for scooping or grasping an object on the floor and then lift it to hand level. This device is primarily for use by a person who cannot bend to pick up an object from the floor. An extendable/retractable lazy tong assembly is connected at one end to an extension on a cane-like member and at the other to a scoop assembly. The scoop includes two hinged halves that move apart, are placed around an object, are moved together to scoop up the object. By pressing the cane extension against the floor, the lazy tongs are caused to rotate and extend, lifting and moving the scoop to within reach of the user's hands without requiring the user to bend over. The scoop can also include pinch bars for pinching, then lifting, a flexible sheet, such as paper or cloth. A thin bar may be provided on the scoop for insertion into items such as key rings or necklaces to lift them to the user's hand level.
