Rake system for removing floating and submerged vegetation and debris from ponds

A rake system for removing floating and submerged vegetation and debris from ponds, the rake system comprising:

• a handle having a proximal end and a distal end;
• a metal frame having a first member, a second member, and a third member,
• wherein the first member has a first surface, a second surface, a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge,
• wherein the first surface of the first member is directly connected and fixed to the distal end of the handle,
• wherein the distal end of the handle and the first surface of the first member are both in the same plane, the plane defined by the top of the first member, at relatively the same angle,
• wherein the proximal end of the handle is angled above the distal end of the handle and oriented toward the first edge of the first member,
• wherein the first edge of the first member is connected to a first cutting member having two or more first teeth extending parallel away from the first edge,
• wherein the two or more first teeth each independently have a V-shaped cross section,
• wherein the second edge of the first member is connected to a second cutting member having two or more second teeth,
• wherein the two or more second teeth each independently have a V-shaped cross section,
• wherein the second cutting member having two or more second teeth extend from the second edge and are downwardly curved from the first surface,
• wherein the third edge of the first member is connected to a first surface of the second member,
• wherein the fourth edge of the first member is connected to a first surface of the third member,
• wherein the first member, the second member, the third member, and a combination thereof each independently comprise one or more entrapment meshes,
• wherein the first member, the second member, and the third member form a receptacle having an open face at the first edge and the second edge of the first member and having a first opposed side and a second opposed side,
• a floating member detachably connected to the first surface of the first member;
• a line connected the proximal end of the handle;
• a spool connected to the proximal end of the handle, and
• wherein the line is wound around the spool.
