ABSTRACT:
A leaf handling apparatus is provided which interactively combines the effects of a rake and an air blower. The apparatus is comprised of an elongated straight rigid shaft having two adjustable handles for hand-held manipulation of the apparatus. Two sets of elongated flexible tines are positioned at the lower extremity of the shaft. An air conduit tube is attached to the shaft in substantially coextensive relationship therewith. The lower extremity of the conduit has a nozzle which is disposed below the tines. An air blower can be removably associated with the upper extremity of the conduit. Air blown through the nozzle into close proximity with the tines facilitates the handling of leaves.
