Abstract: An upright posture device for training user's to improve their posture. The upright posture device generally includes a generally straight, bone-shaped rigid alignment element that presses against a user's triceps, providing a reference that can be felt and thus used to align the device with the user's back. The rigid element has two ends and a central portion between each end, the central portion having a first diameter or width. Each end may have a second width that is greater than the first width. The device may also include a strap extending outwardly from each end of the rigid alignment element to form a loop that includes both the rigid element and the strap, and which encircles the user's upper arm. The rigid alignment element may be hollow, and the strap may extend through the rigid alignment element so that it is rotatable about the strap.

Abstract: The invention comprises a rake apparatus having a handle with three rake heads. The first rake head is fixed to one end of the handle. The second rake head is pivotally mounted to the first rake head, and the third rake head is pivotally mounted to the second rake head. The rake heads each have elongated rake tines mounted to the heads at one of the ends of the tines with the tines bent laterally at their other ends, and with the rake heads mounted one in front of the other. Spring means are provided between the first and second rake heads and the second and third rake heads to urge the second and third rake heads into parallel relation to the first rake head.
