Abstract: A magnetic raking device for cleaning up of dangerous ferro-metallic particles in and around construction jobsites, parks and playgrounds. A device able to perform the duties of both a conventional rake and a magnetic pick up device in one simple step. A hand operated magnetic raking device comprises a housing with a magnet or magnets placed inside. Teeth extending away from the housing are shaped in a fashion as to provide maximum agitation in surfaces such as grass, gravel and hard packed dirt. Device can be used inverted with the teeth facing up along smooth surfaces to pick up ferro-metallic particles without agitation. A handle is mounted to the housing to provide for easy push/pull use of the device. Length of head and handle may vary according to size and scope of area to be raked and cleaned of ferro-metallic particles such as nails and screws.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a frame subassembly, an actuator, a cable, rollers and a flexible hinge. The rollers include two rollers located at the outer edges of, and perpendicular to, the frame subassembly and two rollers located in and parallel to the plane of the frame subassembly located adjacent to the flexible hinge which is located in the center of the frame subassembly. When the actuator is actuated, the frame subassembly folds about the flexible hinge.

Abstract: A branch or other similar article bundler including a central rod, a skid at its forward end and a handle assembly at its proximal end. The handle assembly has a forward molded hand grip coaxial with the rod and a rear twine spool for dispensing twine around a guide in the skid and the guided twine is cleated back on the handle assembly. The bundler with twine looped through the skid guide and cleated back to the handle assembly is slid under the branch pile, the twine end is then uncleated and wrapped forwardly around the branches and tied off adjacent the forward skid guide.
