A hand portable and single hand operable device for picking up animal excrement and the like comprised of a pair of metal rods fixed close enough together at one end as V shaped extensions from a spring loop to form a handle portion for grasping with one hand about both rods which are deflectable toward each other by pressure of the hand. At the other end of each of the rods is a bag support member comprised of an elongated bag support wire loop formation having two substantially parallel width portions and two opposed length portions with the length portion farthest from the handle portion in each bag support loop formation being straight and parallel to each other and moveable toward each other into line contact with each other by deflection of the rods. A bag having flexible sidewalls and an opening with a cuff about its periphery is mounted by the cuff on the respective bag support wire loop formation in manner that the opening is at and controlled by the parallel straight portions of the bag support loop formations.

In a hand portable device for picking up and transporting animal excrement and the like, the combination of (a) a pair of rods fixed sufficiently close together at one end to form a handle portion for grasping with one hand about both said rods and normally extending outwardly in the form of a V with capacity for deflection toward each other by pressure of said hand against said rods at said handle portion, (b) a bag support member extending from the other end of and transversely to each of said rods and adapted for mounting thereto the respective sides of a bag in a manner that the closed bag end will extend beyond said bag support members on the handle portion side of said support members and and adjacent to the support member side of said rods and with the open end of said bag terminating at the side of said support members opposite said handle portion, (c) each of said bag support members having two substantially parallel width portions and two opposed length portions, one of said length portions being a straight edge portion at the respective bag support member\s most distant extremity from said handle portion and extending transversely from the associated rod to form said bag open end terminating side of the respective support member opposite said handle portion, said straight edge portion and width portions being in substantially a single plane and said plane of at least one of said support members being at an angle with respect to its associated rod, and (d) each of said straight edge portions being substantially parallel to each other and moveable toward each other to make line contact with each other by deflection of said rods in response to pressure of said hand against said handle portion for thereby closing said open end of said bag.
