| Abstract: |
Disposable tongs formed of sheet material, such as cardboard or the like, made of two identically constructed members each provided with a slit or slot intermediate the length whereby the user interconnnects the two members along said slits or slots so that they form a pair of jaw members at the lower end and handle members at the opposite end so that it can be used by a person for picking up animal excrement or other objects without touching same, said device being so inexpensively produced that it may be disposed of after each use.

What is claimed is:
1. Disposable tongs formed of a pair of identically constructed strips formed of cardboard or like material, each having spaced side edges, each having a transversely extending slot extending intermediate the top and bottom of said strip and extending from one side edge inwardly but spaced from the opposite side edge, whereby the two strips can be connected together at their slots to form a pivoted connection at said connected slots without the use of extraneous fastening means so that the two strips form tongs, each of said strips having a jaw member at the lower end thereof, and each of said strips having a cutout adjacent the top with the upper portion of each of said strips forming a handle for manual engagement so that same may be manually engaged and moved towards each other to move the jaw members towards each other so that the jaw members can grasp and hold the material or matter to be engaged by the tongs.
