ABSTRACT:
A foldable rake implement includes an elongated handle having a proximal end to be grasped by the user and a distal end. An articulated frame structure is attached to the handle at the distal end. The articulated frame structure includes a central axis of articulation dividing the frame structure into two mirror-image first and second frame halves. The axis of articulation is coaxial with the handle and defines an axis about which the articulated frame structure moves between an unfolded position whereat the first and second frame halves of the frame structure symmetrically project outwardly to opposite lateral sides of the handle and a folded position whereat the first and second frame halves are moved toward each other and into generally mutual overlaying relationship. The articulated frame structure further includes a plurality of spaced-apart tines, a plurality of first tranverse fingers projecting outwardly from one side of the first frame half, and a plurality of second transverse fingers projecting outwardly from one side of the second frame half opposite the first fingers.
