A pet waste pickup device having an elongated tubular member with a pair of jaws at a lower end of the tubular member. An upper sleeve on the tubular member acts through an elongated rod passing through the tubular member to open and close the jaws by a scissor-like action. A plunger extends through the tubular member and is operable by a lower sleeve to extend between an extended and retracted position. A bag is clipped into a forward end of the plunger. A skirt portion of the bag is internally coated with an adhesive material and is provided with a strippable tape thereon. The skirt portion is folded over the blades of the jaws and the tape is removed. After the waste material is scooped up into the bag by closing the blades of the jaws, the plunger is moved upwardly to its retracted position, thereby unfolding the skirt portion of the bag from the blades and simultaneously sealing the bag. The sealed bag is then disposed of by releasing it from the forward end of the plunger.

A pet waste pickup device comprising: an elongated tubular member; a pair of jaws pivotally connected to a bottom portion of said tubular member; actuator means on said tubular member for pivotally opening and closing said jaws to thereby open and close a mouth of an inverted disposable waste bag positioned thereon; plunger means on said tubular member for releasably retaining the inverted disposable bag, said plunger means being axially movable between an extended position wherein the bag is positioned folded about the jaws and a retracted position wherein the bag is extracted from about the jaws with its mouth being sealed; release means coupled to said plunger means for releasing the sealed bag from said plunger means; and said actuator means including a rod slidably disposed within said tubular member and terminating at its lower end in a pair of arms extending below said tubular member, a scissor-like mechanism interconnecting each arm with a respective opposing side of said pair of jaws, a sleeve slidably mounted on said tubular member, and coupling means for coupling said sleeve to said rod, whereby axially sliding of said sleeve upwardly and downwardly with respect to said tubular member causes said scissor-like mechanism to operate so as to respectively close and open said jaws.
