Abstract: A touchless disposable pet feces device is a clamshell-type device that provides a simple, civilized way to pick up animal feces—thus meeting a basic need for improved sanitation in populated areas. The touchless disposable pet feces device eliminates the unpleasant tactile feel of picking up pet feces by hand. With a pair of handles on one end and a plurality of curved tines on the other end with a hinge powered by a spring or rubber band in the middle, the user can squeeze the handles together to open up the curved tines, center the curved tines over pet feces, and release the pressure on the handles allowing the spring or rubber band to close the curved tines around the feces. Because the touchless disposable pet feces device is designed and made of low cost materials it can then be disposed of after a single use.
