PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hook-type scooping tool having excellent hook handling safety.SOLUTION: The scooping tool includes an extension rod part 10 comprising a plurality of rod members 11 having different diameters and connected with each other in an extensible manner, a catching hook part 20 having a hook 24 at a tip end of a body line 23 extending forward in axial direction from a tip part of a thinnest rod member 11a of the extension rod part 10, and a butt plug 40 having a retaining means 43 to inhibit slip off of a rod hook unit Y in the case of constricting the extension rod part 10 to the minimum length by inserting the rod hook unit Y having the catching hook part 20 connected to the rod member 11a into the rod member 11f having the largest diameter. The rod hook unit Y is mildly and smoothly extended by using the retaining means 43 of the butt plug 40 to ensure safety in hook handling.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】 鉤針取り扱いの安全性に優れた鉤針式すくいあげ具の提供。【解決手段】 径の大小異なる複数本の竿体11を伸縮自在に連接した延竿部10と、延竿部10の最小径の竿体11aの先端部から軸方向前方に延在する胴線23の先端に鉤針24を有する掛け針部20と、竿体11aに掛け針部20を連結した竿針ユニットYを最大径の竿体11fに挿入して延竿部10を最小長さに縮小したときに、竿針ユニットYの抜けを抑制する抜け止め手段43を有する尻栓40を備え、竿針ユニットYの竿出しを尻栓40の抜け止め手段43を利用することで緩やかで円滑なものにして、鉤針取り扱いの安全性を確保する。【選択図】図15
