Abstract:
1. A pet fecal matter collection device comprising: a shaft being elongated between an upper end and a lower end; a pair of bars coupled to and extending from said lower end of said shaft, said bars being pivotable between a closed position wherein said bars are adjacently positioned and an open position wherein said bars are spaced; a bag having an open top; a pair of sleeves coupled to said bag, said sleeves extending along opposite sides of said open top of said bag, each of said sleeves being positionable to extend over a respective one of said bars wherein pivoting of said bars opens and closes said open top of said bag; a trigger coupled to said shaft, said trigger being positioned proximate said upper end of said shaft, said trigger being operationally coupled to said bars wherein said bars are pivoted into said open position by manipulation of said trigger; and a pair of spacers, each of said spacers being coupled between said lower end of said shaft and an associated one of said bars, each of said spacers being pivoted relative to said shaft when said trigger is manipulated, each of said spacers being pivotally coupled to said associated one of said bars, each of said spacers having a distal end relative to said shaft extending through a slot in said associated one of said bars such that said slot limits pivoting of said bars relative to said spacers as said spacers are pivoted relative to said shaft.
