Abstract: A frame assembly rotatably supported on a pair of laterally spaced wheels that have resilient rims that will not damage the surface of a tennis court as they roll thereon, said frame assembly including an elongate tennis ball receiving basket mounted on the forward portion thereof, with the bottom of the basket at a height above the tennis court surface greater than the diameters of tennis balls resting in random positions on the surface, and the frame including an upwardly and rearwardly extending handle. A shaft extends transversely between aligned opening in laterally spaced legs that form a part of the frame assembly. A tennis ball retrieving assembly that includes laterally spaced pairs of resilient disks is rotatably supported on the shaft, with the lateral spacing between each pair of disks being less than the diameter of a tennis ball, and each pair of disks having beads on the periphery that removably maintain a tennis ball that has entered the annulus space between a pair of disks therein.

Abstract: An improved garden tool comprising an end plate attached to a tubular fitting extending vertically from the substantial center thereof, the tubular fitting being adapted to receive a wooden handle. The end plate itself is cut in plan form to provide a conventional hoe blade extending over a segment of an arc with a Warren hoe and a rake equally spaced therefrom. The hoe blade surface is further provided with two openings for securing a lead weight biasing the hoe in a preferred orientation. Furthermore the plate area of the Warren hoe and the rake is distributed to provide equal weight distribution, thus insuring a balanced configuration during the use of the hoe which entails the most pronounced impact stroke.
