Abstract
For picking up and disposing of animal dejections in a clean and hygienically acceptable manner, a tool is disclosed which comprises a stick, externally similar to a walking stick consisting of two telescopically slidable members which actuate a mechanical hand similar to the assembly of umbrella ribs so as to open and close such ribs in order to clasp the dirty material and to place it in a baglike disposable container.

- a telescopic stick consisting of an external hollow cylindrical element and an internal element coaxial therewith, one extremity of said internal element terminating in a grip and the opposite extremity thereof terminating in a mechanical hand consisting of a splayed group of resilient wire-shaped fingers which diverge from the extremity of the internal element to which said fingers are attached, the free ends of said wire-shaped fingers being curled towards the inside of said mechanical hand.
A pincer-like tool for picking up organic dejections of animals within a container, comprising a telescopable stick having an outer member and an internal member, one end of said internal member being terminated by a handle and the opposite end being terminated by a mechanical hand adapted to be automatically opened and closed as the internal member is translated in one longitudinal direction and in the opposite direction respectively, said hand being held in the closed position thereof in the interior of the stick and being adapted to be outstretched within a bag slipped onto said opposite end of said stick, the bottom wall of said bag having a ring of spongy material affixed thereto.
