An animal waste collecting tool for improved sanitization includes an elongated shaft having an upper end and a lower end. The upper end connects to an attachment member that is for securing the tool with a user's arm. The lower end connects to a V-shaped support member wherein two legs of the V-shaped support member are connected to a semi-circular member. On the bottom surface of the semi-circular member, there are a plurality of hooks on the bottom surface of the semi-circular member, each of the plurality of hooks being biased in the forward direction. Another hook being biased in the rearward direction is inside the tip between two legs of the V-shaped support member, for securing a disposable bag on the semi-circular member in conjunction with the plurality of hooks on the bottom surface of the semi-circular member.

A sifting pick-up device is provided that operates as a combined pick-up tool and sifter. The device comprises an elongated frame, a first jaw member, and a second jaw member. The elongated frame includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a slidable handle therealong. The two jaw members are disposed along the distal end and move relative to one another based on movement of the slidable handle. At least one of the jaw members has a sifting screen jaw surface in which contents secured between the jaws can be separated from granular material. One or both of the jaw members are movable, and in one embodiment the slidable handle is spring biased and is connected to at least one jaw member via one or more cables. The handle controls the position of the jaws, which can be used to pick-up items and sift the same.

A toothed waste grasping tool for grasping, holding and picking up animal solid waste from a ground surface includes a base grabber having an elongated frame with a opposing, trigger activated jaws and a pair of toothed paddles that are selectively attachable to the jaws. The removable paddles each have a substantially planar body with a front side that includes a plurality of teeth and a rear side which includes an attachment surface. The teeth on each paddle are organized into discrete rows, with each row separated by a flat portion. When the paddles are attached to opposing jaws in a pickup position, solid waste of any size on a ground surface can be trapped and picked up while still allowing blades of grass to slide out from between the opposing paddles as the trapped solid waste is lifted off the ground surface.

A pet waste collection apparatus includes a mobile housing assembly defining an interior, a pick-up roller disposed within the interior, wherein the pick-up roller is configured to collect solid waste, a plurality of fragmentation rollers disposed within the interior upstream from the pick-up roller, wherein the plurality of fragmentation rollers is configured to progressively break up the solid waste, and a hopper disposed within the interior, wherein the plurality of fragmentation rollers transfer the solid waste into the hopper.

An animal waste collecting device for collecting and disposing of animal waste. The animal waste collecting device includes a rigid, elongated handle having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end includes an eyelet thereon so as to allow the elongated handle to be hung from a hook or similar support. The second end is removably secured to a bag and cable tie assembly, wherein the cable tie is configured in a loop and secured to the open upper end of the bag. The bag is used to collect animal waste, wherein the rigidity of the cable tie allows the bag to remain open. The cable tie is pulled through a locking mechanism in order to seal the bag after animal waste has been collected therein. The cable tie assembly is removably secured to the second end of said elongated handle by a clip.

A pet waste catcher device has a series of handle segments forming an extendable handle. Each segment is of a larger diameter than the one (1) previous to enable the shaft to extend and retract in length. A first end of the shaft is provided with a circular ring member to retain disposable bags. A second end of the shaft is provided with a handle, having a covered compartment. A user manipulates the handle to position the circular ring with a disposable bag underneath an animal to collect waste. The covered compartment serves as a case to hold various items selectively chosen by a user.

A hand-held gripping device that allows one of a surgeon, a dentist, and an orthodontist to reach interior portions of a person's anatomy, includes a gripping portion having a pair of jaws movable relative to each other between fully clamped and fully opened positions thereof, a handle portion spaced apart from the jaw portion by a bendable central portion that has a hollow, bendable corrugated with at least one cord extending therethrough.

A waste disposal apparatus having a handle, an elongated shaft, a base, and a disposable cartridge. The handle includes a cutout for manual gripping and a ring for attachment to a belt loop or other support. The cartridge provides a first side with a nub thereon and a second side with a plurality of tines disposed thereon and extending therefrom. The base provides a plate having a well with an open end and interior volume in which the nub of the cartridge engages therewith for removable securement. In operation, the user can place a bag over the base and push the nub into the open end of the well of the base for attachment thereto and impale animal waste using the tines. The user can then fold the bag over the cartridge and detach the bag from the plate enclosing the cartridge therein for disposal.

An animal waste collecting assembly includes a pole defining a handle. The pole is elongated and has a first end and a second end. A frame releasably engages and supports a plastic bag and includes a closed loop attached to and extending away from the second end of the pole. The closed loop has an end member positioned opposite of the pole. The end member is linear for a distance greater than 4.0 inches and is orientated perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pole. A plurality of tines is attached to and extends away from the end member. The tines are co-planar with respect to each other and lie in a plane angled back toward the pole. A clip is mounted on the pole adjacent to the second end. The clip releasably secures an edge of the plastic bag to the pole.
