Abstract: A combination shovel and lawn rake and, includes a hollow rake handle with a rake head pivotally mounted on its lower end with a multi-point linkage for movement between a rake position and a raised position. A rake control knob near the handle is effective to move the rake head between a rake position and a raised position. A shovel is pivotally connected to the rake handle for movement between a shovel position and a storage position, where spring clips secure the shovel handle to the rake handle in both positions and a release mechanism aids in the release of the shovel from the clips so as to allow a change in its position.

Abstract: A combination lawn rake and shovel, includes a hollow rake handle with a rake head pivotally mounted on its lower end for movement between a rake position and a raised position. A rake control lever on the rake handle is connected to one end of a control rod within the rake handle, and the control rod is connected at its other end to the rake head. The control lever is effective to move the rake head between its rake position and its raised position. A shovel is pivotally connected to the rake handle for movement between a shovel position and a storage position. Spring clips secure the shovel handle to the rake handle in both its shovel position and its storage position.

Abstract: A theft deterrent system for discharging a dog-tracking liquid chemical scent composition in spray form on a target person engaged in attempted robbery, illegal entry or manipulation or the like, at a protected location to enable trained dog trailing or identification and apprehension of such person, including a housing enclosing a pressurized spray discharge container for a supply of the liquid composition to discharge contents of the container in spray form directed toward a zone which such person would occupy or pass through to deposit droplets of the composition on the person's clothing. An actuator arm moved by a solenoid under control of a relay is provided to operate the spray head of the spray container to cause spray discharge therefrom. The apparatus may be activated by an attendant-operated switch when associated with a bank teller or money changing station, or by an intruder operated sensor or switch when associated with a window or secured passageway or by other unauthorized activity.
