A device for manual retrieval of solid pet waste. A funnel-shaped body is mounted on a shaft fitted with a handle. A plurality of ribs have first ends pivotally attached to a ring that is slidable along the shaft, and have opposite ends attached to a pair of jaws. Adjacent portions of the jaws are joined by flexible walls. A collar is slidably mounted on the shaft between the handle and the ring. For each rib, a straight, rigid strut is pivotally attached at one end to the collar and at an opposite end to an intermediate portion of the rib. A spring interposed between the collar and the ring urges the ring away from the collar. The jaws are slidable within the housing between a closed, retracted position and an open extended position. A button and catch arrangement is provided for reversibly locking and unlocking the collar and the jaws in the retracted position. A disposable bag is provided for placement over and around the jaws. With the jaws extended and spread apart over solid pet waste, a one-handed, downard thrust of the retriever closes and retracts the jaws, capturing the waste within the bag.

[I claim:] [1.]a hollow, funnel-shaped body, said body extending axially along an axis A--A from a first, open end having a first, relatively small diameter, to a second, open end having a second, relatively large diameter, thereby defining a first, substantially cylindrical portion and a second, truncated conical portion;a shaft having a first end and an opposite second end, said shaft extending along axis A--A from said first end of said body into the interior of the second, truncated conical portion of said body;a handle attached to the first end of the shaft;a rib assembly, includingan annular ring mounted for sliding movement on the shaft between the handle and the second end thereof;a plurality of ribs having first ends pivotally attached to the ring at circumferentially spaced-apart intervals thereon, each rib extending from said ring in a direction that diverges from axis A--A and away from the handle toward an opposite, second, distal end; andspreader means mounted on the shaft between the handle and the ring for urging the first ends of the ribs axially away from the handle and for spreading the distal ends of the ribs radially outward from the axis A--A;a jaw assembly, includinga pair of jaws oppositely and symmetrically disposed about axis A--A and attached to the distal ends of the ribs of said rib assembly for slidable movement within the truncated conical portion of the body between a first, axially and radially retracted, position and a second, axially and radially, extended position, each of said jaws comprising substantially one-half of a hollow, truncated cone; anda pair of flexible walls oppositely and symmetrically disposed about the axis A--A, said walls extending between and joining adjacent portions of said jaws.
