Animal feces retriever with biodegradeable bags

Abstract

An animal feces retrieval apparatus that is configured to facilitate the removal of animal feces for either disposal or re-use. The animal feces retrieval apparatus includes a frame that is secured to a user's back utilizing nylon shoulder straps. Operably coupled to the frame is the motor assembly wherein the motor assembly is operably coupled to a hose assembly. A controller is secured to the hose assembly and provides a user interface for control and operation of the animal feces retrieval apparatus. The controller provides a first mode and a second mode of operation of the animal feces retrieval apparatus. The motor assembly includes a motor that can be either combustible or electric. The animal feces retrieval apparatus includes a receiving receptacle having a liner configured to receive and retain incoming matter. The hose assembly includes a flexible section that facilitates directional manipulation of the nozzle of the hose assembly.
