ABSTRACT:
A stand-up trash retrieving and dumping device includes an elongated, tubular handle member and a flat spatula member attached to one end of the handle member and forming an obtuse angle with respect thereto. An elongated, flat, arm element has one end pivotally connected to the spatula member adjacent the one end of the handle member for pivotal movement between closed and open positions. The other end of the arm element is adapted to engage the spatula member in the closed position thereof and the arm element has an outwardly curved portion between its ends for grasping an enlarged object. The arm element has an enlarged hook portion integral with its outer end adapted to engage an abutment thereby to move the arm element to its open position. An elongated flexible element has one end connected to the hook portion and extends through part of the handle member. A finger hook member is attached to the other end of the flexible element and extends outwardly through a slot in the side wall of the handle member adjacent its other end. A relatively short, flexible element is attached to the finger hook element in the tubular member, extends out of the other end of the tubular member, and has a finger ring attached thereto whereby pulling either the finger hook portion or the finger ring causes the elongated flexible element to move the arm element to its open position.
