ABSTRACT:
A refuse collecting device includes an elongated tube having an inner cylinder slidably received in the upper portion and a bag mount having a half moon shaped frame with a cylindrical section slidably received within the lower end of the tube in a spring-loaded manner. A bag is releasably mounted to the mount by having one side attached to the mount and an opposite side attached to the tube and being expanded by the spring. A paddle is rotatably mounted to the tube to correspond to the half moon frame and movable relative thereto to cover/discover the frame that expands the bag. A grip in the form of a hollow cylinder fit over the tube is coupled to the inner cylinder so to be manually movable along the tube to move the inner cylinder inside the tube. A transverse positioning pin extends through slots formed on the inner cylinder to be moved thereby. A first wire connects the paddle to the positioning pin and has a first slack. A second wire connects the mount to the positioning pin and has a second slack. The second slack is greater than the first slack so that the open operation of the paddle and the release of the bag can be performed by a single hand moving the inner cylinder via the grip to travel different distance. A two stage positioning control device may be provided to secure the positions of the positioning pin.
