Abstract: A hand-operated, rolling leaf-rake that is rolled over leaves or other debris to collect the leaves or debris for disposal. It employs rolling drums with retractable spikes that puncture and collect leaves or debris as the tool is pushed along the ground. The drums are comprised of an inner assembly covered with spikes that rise and protrude through holes in the outer drum as it is rolled, and alternately retract through the holes and drop back down to rest again on the inner cylinder. As the spikes retract, the leaves/debris are left deposited on the ground and can be removed. The spikes are under control of a lock mechanism.
Abstract: A device for picking up scattered leaves on a lawn by piercing them with an array of sharp tines extending from a support plate that is held by an extended handle so the user can press the tines into leaves from a standing position. A resiliently mounted discharge plate is carried below the support plates (upper and lower) with the tines extending through respective orifices in the discharge plate. A lever associated with the handle may be actuated to move the discharge plate downwardly and remove leaves from the tines.
