ABSTRACT:
A rake-like device is provided for grasping and lifting a pile of fallen leaves. The device is comprised of a hollow handle having a rake head attached to its lower-most extremity. The rake head is provided with a circular array of a multitude of flexible metal tines. A cable is disposed within the handle and extends in a loop configuration to engagement with eyes associated with the tines. When the cable is pulled upwardly, the tines move radially in unison in an inwardly convergent manner. When the pulling force is removed, the tines return to their outwardly disposed positions.
