  • Patent number: 5236237
    Abstract: An open-ended container is carried on the end of a handle; and that connection is by a bail-wire, of a general U-shape, whose ends are rotatably mounted on the container side walls, the bail-wire's central or bight portion of the bail being rotatably connected to the handle by a pivotal connection which is also slidable. These features and their details provide that an easy swinging effort by the dog's owner will cause the container to swing to a reception condition in which the handle's scooper member is on the far side of the feces, and the container is in a position with its open end facing the feces. Then, by a pull upwardly on the handle, the feces is pushed toward and into the container; and then, merely by the owner's continuousness of the upward pull of the handle, the container swings to its carrying or at-rest condition, with its open end up, and with the feces safely carried in the bottom of the container.
