A device for removing canine fecal matter includes a lobed knob connected
by concentric tubes to a dual housing, the inner of which holds a set of
panels that are opened or closed by the linear movement of the smaller
tube in combination with a panel actuating ring affixed to the inner
shaft. The panels are extended by holding the larger tube and pushing the
knob toward the panel housing. When a release button is actuated, the
panels close around the fecal matter and, with the panels closed, a
protective collection bag is secured by a clamp on the outer housing.
With the collection bag inside the cavity formed by the closed panels.
The knob can be rotated in either direction to turn the collection bag
which causes the collection bag to pull away from the clamp for the
purpose of disposal.
