CA 2334371

A device for manual retrieval of solid pet waste. A funnel-shaped body is mounted on a shaft fitted with a handle. A plurality of ribs have first ends pivotally attached to a ring that is slidable along the shaft, and have opposite ends attached to a pair of jaws. Adjacent portions of the jaws are joined by flexible walls. A collar is slidably mounted on the shaft between the handle and the ring. For each rib, a straight, rigid strut is pivotally attached at one end to the collar and at an opposite end to an intermediate portion of the rib. A spring interposed between the collar and the ring urges the ring away from the collar. The jaws are slidable within the housing between a closed, retracted position and an open extended position. A button and catch arrangement is provided for reversibly locking and unlocking the collar and the jaws in the retracted position. A disposable bag is provided for placement over and around the jaws. With the jaws extended and spread apart over solid pet waste, a one-handed, downard thrust of the retriever closes and retracts the jaws, capturing the waste within the bag.
