Abstract: The present invention relates primarily to an improvement in a mucking rake that can also be adapted for landscaping use. The invention possesses parallel replaceable tines that are spaced apart at variable distances through the use of individual modular tines and/or spacers. The tines can also be manufactured in a wavy shape to enable the debris to be sifted and collected onto the rake without having to dispose of the debris each time debris is sifted and collected.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for removing debris with a rake having a handle; a stabilizing brace; and a rake head secured to the handle. The rake head includes a mounting bar; and one or more pivotable double coiled spring tines positioned on the mounting bar, each spring tine having an attaching area placed in tension with a leading coil portion, wherein the coils are pressed against the mounting bar as the raked material urges the tine forwardly and wherein a connective area of the spring tine is pulled in the direction of an axis instead of bending transversely to the axis.

Abstract: An ergonomic yard or garden tool includes a generally straight handle and a head having a working portion and structural supports. The head includes an ergonomic bend angled away from the handle. The bend and the structural supports provide an offset between the working portion and an axis of the handle. The offset may reduce the amount of bending necessary to use the tool.

Abstract: A case for storing and carrying gardening tools including gardening tool heads that can have be interchangeably connected to a handle. The handle can be stored along with the gardening tool heads in the suitcase, or can be used as a handle for the suitcase. The tool heads and the tool handle connect via various suitable connection methods.

Abstract: An attachment for converting a pitchfork into a combination pitchfork and rake. The attachment comprises a rake head having a plurality of apertures to receive the tines of a pitchfork, along which it is movable between a retracted and an extended position, and a linear array of rake prongs that depend from the rake bar. In a preferred embodiment, associated with each prong is a clevis attached to the rake bar to which the prong is pivotally mounted for free rotation about a horizontal axis during forward-directed scooping motions of the pitchfork along a ground surface when the attachment is in an extended position; during rear-directed, raking motions of the pitchfork, however, a lower portion of a front wall of the clevis permits rotation of the prong only up to a vertical position. Accordingly, the attachment provides a single tool capable of rapid and convenient alternation between raking and pitching motions.

Abstract: The rake of this invention has an "S" shaped angled handle allowing a person to rake in a forward sweeping motion. Two rows of teeth facing in an opposite direction from one another are necessary so one can use the raking device from the left or right on one's self.

Abstract: A compound garden type or agricultural tool having a handle which is adapted to be fitted to a blade type of implement which is angularly adjustable for use as a spade, shovel or hoe and a fork type implement which is similarly adjustable. Additionally, the fork is adapted to be fitted with a pronged attachment which converts the fork into a rake. The adjustability feature comprises an angulated shoulder surface on the blade and fork type implements and having a projection which is operable to cooperate with a recess and a flat surface in the handle for establishing a straight, inclined, and right angled position for the particular implement engaging the handle.
