  • Patent number: 6962012
    Abstract: A grooming implement is used for athletic fields, particularly the infield of a ball field. A frame has a tongue on a forward end for attaching to a towing vehicle. The frame has a longitudinal beam and a transverse beam on a rearward end that is supported by a pair of wheels. A rake bar for raking the ground is mounted to the frame by a pair of arms. The arms are pivotally secured to opposite sides of the longitudinal beam forward of the wheels, so that rotating the brake bar arms about the pivot point swings the rake bar upward from a ground engaging position to a storage position beneath the frame. A broom bar for sweeping the ground is pivotally mounted to the transverse beam about a pivot point for dragging the broom bar behind the wheels while the broom bar is in a ground engaging position. Rotating the broom bar arm about the pivot point on the transverse beam places the broom bar in a storage position above the longitudinal beam.
