Hand held screed raking device for applying paving material to a surface

A hand held screed raking device, said device comprising:

• (a) a longitudinally extending screed head comprising:
• (i) a convexly arced dozer front face, a screed back, and a longitudinal bottom trailing surface;
• (ii) the convexly arced dozer front face acutely connecting to and terminating downwardly at the longitudinal bottom trailing surface at an arc/bottom contact point and oppositely and acutely upwardly connecting to the screed back at an arc/back contact point;
• (iii) the longitudinal bottom trailing surface oppositely and acutely connecting to the screed back at a back/bottom contact point, thereby the convexly arced dozer front face, the screed back, and the longitudinal bottom trailing surface forming a generally triangular cross sectional shape to the longitudinally extending screed head;
• and
• (iv) the convexly arced dozer front face arcing downward to the arc/bottom contact point;
• and
• (b) a rake grip handle securely attaching to the longitudinally extending screed head midway vertically down and centrally on the screed back between the back/bottom point and the arc/back contact point.

A hand held screed raking device, said device comprising:

• (a) a longitudinally extending screed head comprising:
• (i) an upper head portion, an arced dozer front face, a screed back, an angularly attached bottom plate, and a pair of opposing screed head ends;
• (ii) the arced dozer front face comprising one of:
• a concavely arced face or a convexly arced face;
• (iii) the arced dozer front face acutely and downwardly connecting to the angular bottom plate at an arc/bottom contact point, terminating at a screed head cooperating toe securing end, and oppositely and acutely, upwardly connecting to the screed back at an arc/back contact point;
• (iv) the upper head portion locating above and attaching to the arced dozer front face and the screed back at the arc/back contact point;
• (v) the angular bottom plate acutely connecting oppositely from the arc/back contact point to the screed back at a back/bottom contact point, thereby the arced dozer front face, the screed back, and the angular bottom plate forming a generally triangular cross sectional shape to the longitudinally extending screed head;
• (vi) an underside shoe comprising:
• an upwardly angled leading surface, a shoe back end and an opposing shoe toe securing end;
• and
• (vii) the underside shoe connecting with and abutting against the arced dozer front face at the screed head cooperating toe securing end with the opposing shoe toe securing end, conformably and cooperatively securing against the angular bottom plate, and arcing downward and rearward, connecting to a longitudinal bottom trailing surface, the longitudinal bottom trailing surface continuing rearward laterally and terminating at the shoe back end;
• (b) a tubular rake handle comprising a rake handle free end and an opposing rake handle attaching end;
• (c) the longitudinally extending screed head further comprising:
• a rake handle attaching means locating centrally on the arced dozer front face midway between the arc/back contact point and the arc/bottom contact point and freely securing the tubular rake handle;
• and
• (d) the tubular rake handle freely and securely attaching to and engaging the longitudinally extending screed head by the rake handle attaching means proximal to the opposing rake handle attaching end.
