## Abstract

The present invention is directed to a system for aiding collection of debris comprising a rigid, unitary body further comprising a base and a shell. The base is substantially planar, having a proximal end portion and extends to a distal end portion. The base has a pair of edges extending longitudinally from its proximal end portion to its distal end portion. The shell has a proximal end portion and extends to a distal end portion and has a pair of edges extending longitudinally from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion. The shell has an elevated region extending between the pair of edges. The base joined to the shell at their respective corresponding edges, defining a cavity therein and defining a mouth at its proximal end, the mouth being contiguous with a debris channel, and the debris channel being contiguous with an outlet at the body's distal end.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for aiding collection of debris comprising:
a rigid, unitary body comprising a base and a shell;
said base being substantially planar, having a proximal end portion and extending to a distal end portion, said base having a pair of edges extending longitudinally from said proximal end portion to said distal end portion;
said shell having a proximal end portion and extending to a distal end portion, said shell having a pair of edges extending longitudinally from said proximal end portion to said distal end portion, said shell having an elevated region extending between said pair of edges;
said base joined to said shell at said respective, corresponding edges, defining a cavity therein; and
joined base and shell defining a mouth at their proximal ends, said mouth contiguous with a debris channel, and said debris channel contiguous with an outlet at said base and shell's distal ends.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 wherein said shell is arcuate.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 wherein said shell is angular.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 wherein said shell is semi-annular.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 wherein said shell is folded.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 further comprising a grip in said proximal end portion.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6 wherein said grip further comprises a slot.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 further comprising a slot in said proximal end portion.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 wherein said shell is comprised of plural sections abutting at a joint.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9 wherein a first section of said shell has a protruding edge and a section section of said shell has a recess adapted for receipt of said protrusion.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9 wherein said sections are secured by at least one mechanical fastener.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9 further comprising a grip spanning said joint.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 wherein the lower surface of said base incorporates a frictional region.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 further comprising a disposal bag.
