Abstract:
A scoop device is provided for removing animal droppings which consists of a shovel member to pick up the animal droppings, a cover member to close over the shovel member and a mechanism for pivoting the cover member to the shovel member. When the cover member is placed in an open position, the shovel member can pick up the animal droppings. When the cover member is placed in a closed position, it will prevent the animal droppings from accidentally departing the shovel member.
