Sanitary refuse and animal dung collection valet

摘要

A sanitary, portable, light weight, and hand held and actuated refuse and waste collection device, and more particularly a telescopically adjustable, refuse and animal dung collection valet configured for convenient and sanitary collection of refuse and animal waste without the need for direct user contact with the refuse or animal dung and compatible for use with readily available disposal bags. The sanitary refuse and animal dung collection valet includes a collector assembly having two tubes pivotally connected in a lever or scissors arrangement. The user grips and actuates the handles of the valet on the upper end of the tubes to scoop the waste from the ground and into a refuse collection receptacle such as a disposable bag. The bag is supported at a lower end of the valet on a support frame connected to one of the tubes and which is opposingly positioned to cooperate with a pusher paddle connected to the lower end of the other tube. When the handles are moved together, the paddle scrapes the waste along in the direction of the open bag. The open end of the bag is folded over the paddle and the frame so that the waste never contacts any surface of the valet and only side of the bag. Once the waste has been scooped into the bag, the bag is removed from the valet paddle and frame for disposal.
