ABSTRACT:
A litter gun (10) includes a handle (12) with an elongated spear (14), surrounded by a longitudinally movable tubularly-shaped barrel (16), fixedly attached thereto. A biasing spring (18) mounted between the handle and the barrel biases the barrel outwardly. A trigger (20) is mounted in the handle for engaging a graduated ratchet mechanism of the barrel at various points therealong to hold the barrel and prevent outward longitudinal movement thereof. As an operator drives the spear into trash the barrel is urged backwardly into the handle to compress the biasing spring and it is held in these positions by the trigger mechanism. Actuation of the trigger mechanism releases the barrel to drive forwardly, shooting the trash from the end of the spear into a receptacle.
