ABSTRACT:
A container is formed from a pair of concave shell halves with each shell half having a small upper portion and a lower portion which is larger than the upper portion. The shell halves are connected by an integral hinge at their respective upper portions. The smaller upper portions are sized to be easily received in and encompassed by the fingers of a user. The lower portions are provided with straight edges which are disposed remote from the integral hinge. The shell halves are constructed so that they can be manipulated from their normally biased open, i.e., spread apart configuration to a closed configuration about animal excrement. As the shell halves are so manipulated the straight edges scrape the animal excrement into the container. In one embodiment when the shell halves are in their closed configuration the straight edges are in telescoping relationship and a locking structure is provided along at least the straight edges to lock the shell halves in their closed relationship thereby effectively sealing the container. In an alternative embodiment, the straight edges, when the shell halves are in the closed configuration, abut each other and a locking structure disposed on the edges of the shell halves locks the shell halves in their closed relationship.
