ABSTRACT:
A refuse collecting tool for the sanitary collection of animal excrement or other refuse which is preferably not handled directly. The device includes a tubular handle having a gripping portion attached to its upper end and a scoop, elliptical in cross-section, attached to its lower end. The scoop is divided into opposing jaws which are hinged together along their top edges and constantly urged to a closed condition by coil springs attached to their end walls. A rod extending through the tubular handle is provided on its top end with a lever which extends radially through slots in the tubular handle that are located beneath the gripping portion, and on its other end with a flat rectangular plate sized to fit within the center region of the closed scoop. Upward pressure on the lever forces the opposing jaws of the scoop open as the rectangular plate is forced upwardly into the decreasing diameter of the top of the scoop. The rectangular plate also prevents collected refuse from entering and fouling the moving parts of the device tool. The advantage of the tool is its simple construction which renders it light weight, reliable in use, economical to manufacture and practically maintenance free.
