ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a waste collector which is formed from a generally flat rectangular cardboard form. The form includes predetermined fold lines, including a first one, disposed longitudinally and centrally on the blank and other groups of lines which, when folded thereabout, form first and second cooperating jaw members. The collector is creased inwardly at the first fold line towards the volume enclosed by the cooperating jaw members. When finger pressure is applied transversely to the oppositely disposed longitudinal edges, this results in the first and second cooperating jaw members closing towards each other to retain the animal feces. A release of the applied finger pressure allows the jaw members to open. The oppositely disposed longitudinal edges include cutout sections which facilitate the movement of the jaw members towards and away from each other. Further, a locking strap is disclosed which is connected to one side of the inwardly directed crease and bridges the latter to retentively engage a longitudinally oriented slot such that the cooperating jaw members are retained in a locked or closed position after the release of the finger pressure.
