ABSTRACT:
A hand-operable feces collection apparatus for catching animal excrements prior to reaching a ground surface may include an elongated curvilinear handle and an annular ring attached to a distal end thereof. A retention bag may be attached directly to the annular ring in such a manner that the retention bag is maintained at a substantially stable position while receiving the animal excrements therein. The apparatus may also include a mechanism for resiliently adjusting a diameter of the annular ring such that the retention bag is caused to automatically disengage the annular ring. Such a mechanism may be activated by a lever attached to the proximal end of the handle. The annular ring may be composed of a semi-circular solid male core and a hollow female sleeve. The male core is urged along the female sleeve as the mechanism is activated, causing the diameter of the annular ring to adjust.
