A handle is secured to the body by an extension member so as to be ergonomic in relation to the body. The tubular body is configured to collect waste through the front opening and transfer the waste through the rear opening and into a container coupled to the rear end of the tubular body.

A scooper assembly has a scoop container attached to the end of a hiking stick and a bag-retainer for retaining a roll of waste collection bags. The container is configured with a set of teeth that extend out from the bottom of the inlet opening and an outlet opening on the back of the container is configured for dumping feces from the container. The container is configured to retain a bag around the back outlet opening. The bag-retainer has a slot for pulling the end of the roll of bags therethrough, bag-teeth to aid in tearing a bag off from the roll, and a cleat and tray for holding a filled bag. A light-mount is configured to allow positioning of a light in any direction and a detachable rake may be alternately used to collect feces. A receptacle for personal articles and for pepper spray is provided.

A dog waste collection assembly includes a handle that has a downward angle between a grip and a head. Thus, the head can be positioned beneath a dog when the dog is defecating and the grip being gripped. A pair of jaws is each pivotally coupled to the head. Each of the jaws is positionable between a closed and an open position. A pair of bag openers is each coupled to a respective one of the jaws and a bag can be positioned around each of the bag openers. An opening unit is movably coupled to the handle and the opening unit is in mechanical communication with the jaws. The opening unit urges the jaws into the open position when the opening unit is manipulated. Thus, the jaws open the bag for receiving the dog waste.

A portable dustpan structure for cleaning pet excrement includes: a box body, a tubular member, a shaft and two roller units. The tubular member is pivotable relative to the box body to move between the upright position and the lie-flat position. When the tubular member is in the upright position, the mouth of the box body is upwards, the pet excrement won't fall out, and it can save space for easy storage. When the tubular member is in the lie-flat position, the pet owners can rake the pet excrement into the box body via the mouth so as to achieve of the purpose of cleaning. The dustpan further includes two roller units, so that the pet owner can move the dustpan by pulling the shaft, thereby improving the comfort of carrying object, moving without lifting, making the dustpan easy to carry and saving effort.

The present disclosure presents an apparatus which assists with disposal of animal excrement. The apparatus includes a conduit having a first end and a second end, wherein the first and second ends are fluidly coupled to a handle and a nozzle, respectively. The handle is fluidly coupled to a water source and provides a lever that is operably coupled to an internal valve allowing the user to control the flow rate of water through the conduit and nozzle. The apparatus further includes a splash guard that is coupled to the nozzle and extends a predetermined distance beyond the exit orifice of the nozzle. The nozzle and splash guard are engineered to produce a turbulent churning of the discharged water when the splash guard is in sufficient contact with the ground that allows for the rapid breakdown and dissolution of the animal excrement.

An apparatus for collecting animal waste is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an elongated tube comprising a first end and a second end. The apparatus comprises a plurality of ribs coupled to the elongated tube at the first end. Further, the apparatus comprises a runner provided at the elongated tube. Movement of runner along the elongated tube allows to collapse or to open the ribs. The apparatus is provided with a disposable bag coupled to the ribs. The runner is adjusted to open the ribs and the disposable bag is aligned with a derriere of a pet to collect the animal waste during defecation process of the pet. Subsequently, the disposable bag containing the animal waste is disposed.

An improved groove and crack cleaning tool that is economical in cost to manufacture, includes a rigid blade head with a blade tip at the end of the blade edge adapted to dislodge debris build-up commonly found between outdoor surfaces. In addition, groove and crack cleaning tool has a handle adapter built into the blade head for the attachment of different types of handles. The blade head having different thickness and length provide a tool that is simple and easy to use on many outdoors surface and during tool operation, the blade edge glide will slide over the outdoor surface without causing damage to that surface. The blade head is angled to easily wedge under any debris lodged in groove or cracks forcing the lodged debris generally upward.

A reacher attachment assembly of use with a cane. The attachment assembly attaches a reacher to a cane such that the reacher is stored out of the way of the tip of the cane so as not to interfere with the cane when the reacher is not in use, but allows the reacher to be slid into position for use so that the cane tip does not interfere with the reacher. The attachment assembly may comprise a distal mount securely attached to the cane and slidingly attached to the reacher, a spring mount securely attached to the reacher, and a spring between the distal mount and the spring mount, such that the spring retains the reacher out of the way when not needed but allows the reacher to be extended downward relative to the cane for use.

A feces retrieval assembly for collecting animal feces from the ground includes a housing that has an opening extending therethrough to define a handle for gripping the housing. A plurality of bags is stored in the housing and a grabbing unit is coupled to the housing. The grabbing unit is actuatable into an extended position to extend away from the housing and being directed toward feces on the ground. The grapping unit is actuated into the extended position for being positioned around feces on the ground. The grabbing unit is actuatable into a grabbing position to grab the feces on the ground for disposal. The grabbing unit is actuatable into a retracted position to retract the grabbing unit. A lighting unit is coupled to the housing and the lighting unit emits light outwardly from the housing for illuminating a darkened area.
