Object retrieving device

An object retrieving kit for extending the reach of a user, comprising:

• an extendable handle having a collapsed condition and an extended condition, the handle comprising a plurality of telescopic sections connected in telescopic relationship, a distal one of the telescopic sections having a free end, the free end having a recess extending into the free end of the distal telescopic section, an aperture being formed in a wall of the distal telescopic section and being in communication with an interior of the recess;
• a hook attachment removably mountable on the free end of the distal telescopic section, the hook attachment having a J-shaped hook portion and an attachment portion, the J-shaped hook portion comprising a linear main extent and an arcuate extent connected to an end of the main extent, the J-shaped hook portion having a width approximately equal to an outer diameter of the distal telescopic section, the attachment portion having a connector body adapted for insertion into the recess of the free end of the distal telescopic section, the attachment portion having a securing means for selectively securing the connector body in the recess of the free end, the securing means comprising a release button, the release button being positioned in a cavity formed in the connector body, the release button having a protruding condition for extending through the aperture formed in the wall of the distal telescopic section and a retracted condition permitting insertion of the connector body into the recess, a biasing means being provided for biasing the release button into the protruding condition, the biasing means comprising a spring;
• a scoop attachment removably mountable on the free end of the distal telescopic section, the scoop attachment having a scoop portion and an attachment portion, the scoop position comprising a first extent extending substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the handle, a second extent extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle, and a third extent extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle, the second and third extents having a width approximately two times the width of the diameter of the distal telescopic section, a width and a length of the second extent being approximately equal, the third extent having a lip extending toward the first extent, the first and third extents having substantially equal length dimensions extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the handle, a length of the second extent being approximately twice a length of the first extent, the attachment portion having a connector body adapted for insertion into the recess of the free end of the distal telescopic section, the attachment portion having a securing means for selectively securing the connector body in the recess of the free end, the securing means comprising a release button, the release button being positioned in a cavity formed in the connector body, the release button having a protruding condition for extending through the aperture formed in the wall of the distal telescopic section and a retracted condition permitting insertion of the connector body into the recess, a biasing means being provided for biasing the release button into the protruding condition, the biasing means comprising a spring;
• a sweep attachment removably mountable on the free end of the distal telescopic section, the sweep attachment having a first extent extending in a substantially parallel direction to the longitudinal axis of the handle, a second extent extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle, the second extent having a lip extending in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the handle, the second extent having a length that is approximately 1.25 times greater than a length of the first extent, the first and second extents having a width approximately two times the width of the diameter of the distal telescopic section, the attachment portion having a connector body adapted for insertion into the recess of the free end of the distal telescopic section, the attachment portion having a securing means for selectively securing the connector body in the recess of the free end, the securing means comprising a release button, the release butt-on being positioned in a cavity formed in the connector body, the release button having a protruding condition for extending through the aperture formed in the wall of the distal telescopic section and a retracted condition permitting insertion of the connector body into the recess, a biasing means being provided for biasing the release button into the protruding condition, the biasing means comprising a spring;
• and
• a rake attachment removably mountable on the free end of the distal telescopic section, the rake attachment having a first extent extending in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle, and a plurality of tines extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first extent, free ends of the tines having an arcuate tip, wherein the rake attachment has at least four tines, wherein the tines each have a length of at least two inches, the attachment portion having a securing means for selectively securing the connector body in the recess of the free end, the securing means comprising a release button, the release button being positioned in a cavity formed in the connector body, the release button having a protruding condition for extending through the aperture formed in the wall of the distal telescopic section and a retracted condition permitting insertion of the connector body into the recess, a biasing means being provided for biasing the release button into the protruding condition, the biasing means comprising a spring;
• and
• wherein the handle comprises three telescopic sections, each of the telescopic sections being approximately two feet long.
