ABSTRACT:
A pair of hand held scoops are provided for gathering loose material such as leaves, grass cuttings or the like. The scoops are identical in construction and have hand holders whereby the scoops may be used to compress a load of the material between the scoops to be carried to a discharge station. The hand holders may be in the shape of hand receiving pockets which are provided with thumb openings at opposed sides in order that each scoop may be used interchangeably for the left or right hand of the user. Each scoop is constructed of a rigid plate-like member of plastic or the like having at least one straight side which may be employed to the ground in the scoop and gathering operation. Desirably, the scoop may be a rectangular form with the hand holder oriented diagonally to present a straight bottom side toward the ground for efficiency in gathering the loose material and when used alternately between a left hand and right hand different bottom sides are presented to reduce wear. An inwardly turned lip along the edges facilitates retention of the loose material when the scoops compress the gathered material.
