Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0555932A2] The invention relates to a device for picking up material lying on the ground, such as for example dog excrements, said device being provided with a carrying member (1) and with scoop means (12), which are pivotable in such a manner that free ends of said scoop means are movable towards and away from each other. The scoop means (12) are comprised of plate-shaped strips (12), which, at their ends remote from their free ends, are coupled to a common carrying member (8) so as to be pivotable about pivots (10), said pivots (10) at least substantially being located on a circumferential closed line. Means are provided by which said plate-shaped strips (12) are pivotable about said pivots (10), from a first position, in which strips (12) arranged in side by side relationship overlap, forming some sort of cup-shaped means, whose largest diameter is located near the pivots (10), whilst the free ends bound a narrow opening in said cup-shaped means, into a second position, whilst moving the free ends of said plate-shaped strips (12) in a direction away from each other.
