Gripper for picking up and removing animal excreta

摘要

A gripper for picking up and removing animal excreta consists of two half-shells of moulded material connected to each other in an articulated manner and, in the closed state, enclosing a receiving chamber. Gripping recesses provided on the two half-shells serve for the manual actuation of the gripper. The animal excreta are picked up by means of receiving sections which overlap in the closed state and are moulded, in an approximately blade-like manner, on the free end of each half-shell remote from the gripping recess. As a result of the receiving sections which are moulded in an approximately blade-like manner and overlap in the closed state, complete picking-up of animal excreta is possible and reliable closure is simultaneously achieved.
