Abstract
The rake comprises a rake head, a handle, and a mini rake attachment. A pair of wheels may be adapted to support the weight of the rake head and to establish a travel height for the rake head. The handle may detachably couple to the rake head and may be adapted to be held by a user such that the user may push or pull the rake head over leaves. A plurality of tines located on the underside of the rake head may force the leaves to move along with the rake head. A handle length and an incidence angle of the handle may be adjustable. The mini rake attachment may couple to the handle in place of the rake head. The mini rake attachment may be operable to move the leaves away from an obstruction where the rake head does not fit.
Claims18
A rake comprising:
- a rake head, a handle, and a mini rake attachment;
- wherein a pair of wheels is adapted to support the weight of the rake head and to establish a travel height for the rake head;
- wherein the handle detachably couples to the rake head and is adapted to be held by a user such that the user pushes or pull the rake head over leaves;
- wherein a plurality of tines located on the underside of the rake head force the leaves to move along with the rake head;
- wherein a handle length and an incidence angle of the handle are adjustable;
- wherein the mini rake attachment couples to the handle in place of the rake head;
- wherein the mini rake attachment is operable to move the leaves away from an obstruction where the rake head does not fit;
- wherein the rake head comprises a base plate, the plurality of tines, the pair of wheels, and a handle bracket;
- wherein the base plate is a structural support for the plurality of tines, the pair of wheels, and the handle bracket;
- wherein the plurality of tines are dispersed over the bottom of the base plate;
- wherein an individual tine selected from the plurality of tines is a projection from the bottom of the base plate that is oriented at an oblique angle relative to the base plate;
- wherein the individual tine bends downward at a point that is more than one half of the length of the individual tine away from the base plate.
