Abstract: For the entrapment of animal feces and other miscellaneous objects, there is provided an apparatus including a spreader which is used in connection with disposable bags in which animal feces or other objects may be entrapped for sanitary disposal or otherwise. The spreader is mounted on an elongated support which also supports a trigger and handle arrangement. A unit is provided which converts the longitudinal force generated by the trigger into pivotal movement of arms of the spreader in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal force. A loop is mounted at one end of the elongated support and adjacent the trigger and handle arrangements so that the combination can be supported by one arm and hand of the user.
