Abstract: A collection tool that allows retrieval and storage of pine cones by a user while maintaining an erect posture. The tool provides an elongate tubular body having manipulative handles at its upper end portion and first connecting means to attach entry structure at its lower end portion. The entry structure provides an annular rim with second connecting means to interconnect the body and carries radially inwardly extending triangular-like fingers formed of resiliently deformable polymeric material having retentent memory. Pine cones may enter through the entry structure responsive to downwardly directed force on the collection tool but are prevented from exiting to be collected in the body channel for mass disposition.

Abstract: A collection tool that allows retrieval and collection of pine cones by a user while maintaining an erect posture. The tool provides an elongate tubular body having manipulative handles at its upper end portion and defines first connecting means at its lower end portion. The lower end portion carries an entry structure, an annular rim with second connecting means to matingly interconnect the first connecting means and carries a plurality of radially inwardly extending fingers formed of resiliently deformable material having retentent memory. Pine cones may gain ingress through the entry structure responsive to downwardly directed force thereon but are prevented from egress to be collected in the body channel for disposition.
