Abstract
A landscape rake of the present invention includes a rake handle component, a rake body component and at least two linkage rod assemblies. The rake handle component is assembled by a plurality of rods, and one of the rods has a first fixed portion and a second fixed portion. The rake body component has rake heads formed with a plurality of tines and pivotally assembled with the first fixed portion and the at least two linkage rod assemblies, respectively. Each of the at least two linkage rods has one end pivotally assembled with the second fixed portion. Accordingly, the rake heads can be unfolded or folded relative to the rake body component, thereby saving storage space and improving portability.

A landscape rake, comprising:
- a rake handle component, assembled by a plurality of rods, wherein (i) one of the rods at an end portion of the rake handle component has a first fixed portion and a second fixed portion, (ii) the first fixed portion has a first socket pipe and first hinge assemblies connected to both sides of the first socket pipe, (iii) each of the first hinge assemblies has a first limiting groove in communication with an interior of the first socket pipe, (iv) the second fixed portion has second socket pipe and second hinge assemblies connected to both sides of the second socket pipe, and (v) each of the second hinge assemblies has a second limiting groove in communication with an interior of the second socket pipe;
- a rake body component, having at least two rake heads, wherein (i) each of the rake heads has one side facing toward the rake handle component and provided with a transverse plate protruding therefrom and is equipped with a plurality of tines, (ii) the transverse plate of each of the rake heads is pivoted at the first limiting groove of the respective first hinge assembly, and (iii) the first limiting groove provides a limiting effect for pivot motion of the transverse plate of the respective rake head within the first limiting groove;
- and
- at least two linkage rod assemblies, each having a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod pivotally connected with each other, wherein (i) each of the first connecting rods is pivoted at the second limiting groove of the respective second hinge assembly, (ii) the second limiting groove provides a limiting effect for pivot motion of the respective first connecting rod within the second limiting groove, and (iii) each of the second connecting rods is pivoted at the transverse plate of the respective rake head.
