Abstract
A sanitary scooper is arranged to include a handle mounted at an oblique angle relative to a support tube, with the support tube mounting a control head at its forward distal end. The control head includes a pivot head rotatably mounting first and second actuator arms, wherein the handle includes a trigger lever, and upon depressing, the trigger lever effects projection of the first and second actuator arms towards one another, with a "V" shaped support frame mounted to the actuator arms and a support bag member mounted to the support frame to enclose waste and debris therewithin.
Claims4
A waste scooper apparatus, comprising,
- an elongate support tube, the support tube including a support tube first end and a support tube second end, the support tube first end including a handle fixedly mounted to the support tube first end at an oblique included angle therebetween, wherein the handle includes a handle chamber, and the handle chamber includes a trigger lever, the trigger lever including a trigger lever pivot axle positioned within the handle chamber at an upper distal end of the trigger lever, and
- the support tube including an elongate support tube cylindrical cavity directed coextensively through the support tube, with a slide cylinder slidably received within the cylindrical cavity, the slide cylinder including a slide cylinder rear wall, the slide cylinder rear wall including a trigger cable mounted to the slide cylinder rear wall, and wherein the trigger cable extends interiorly of the handle chamber, and
- linkage means mounted to the trigger lever and to the trigger cable to effect retraction of the slide cylinder within the support tube towards the handle upon displacement of the trigger lever towards the handle, and
- a control head mounted at the second end of the support tube, with the control head including a first actuator arm and a second actuator arm pivotally mounted relative to the control head, and
- a unitary support frame mounted to the first actuator arm and the second actuator arm, and
- a bag member mounted to the support frame.
