ABSTRACT:
A rake storage system is disclosed for use in close proximity to golf course sand traps. This system includes a storage tube which is insertable in the ground and a golf course rake whose handle slides into the tube so that only the rake head is exposed. Also included in this system is a sleeve which slides into the tube to provide an indexing mechanism which automatically rotates the rake to a desired orientation as the rake is inserted in the tube. Indexing is accomplished by a tab incorporated onto the rake handle engaging a slot incorporated within the sleeve. In another embodiment, the rake handle has a uniquely shaped upper portion which engages in a sleeve with a like shaped upper portion so that the rake is at the desired orientation when the rake is installed in the tube. In yet another embodiment, the rake head is of a specific shape and weight so that the rake head center of mass is at a distance from an axis defined by the rake handle, thereby creating a gravity effect on the rake which rotates the rake downward as the rake is inserted in the tube.
