Abstract: A soil dressing implement useful as a sand trap rake, the head thereof including a transverse body portion with plurality of tines and a vane extending across the rear of the tines for the full width of the head. The tines, which are laterally spaced, have a downwardly and rearwardly sloped front edge merging into a rearwardly and downwardly curved bottom edge. The bottom edge curves slightly upward at the rear and terminates at a lower edge of the vane. The vane has a front flat surface which slopes downwardly and forwardly towards the lower edge thereof. The transverse body has a top surface having a rear edge which is forward of the bottom edges of tines when the implement is lying on its back. The implement has better raking characteristics than known devices because the front sloped surface of the vane has a tendency to pull the tines down into the sand and to distribute the sand which then flows between the tines and spills over the upper edge of the vane so as to not leave any tine marks.
