ABSTRACT:
A system for collecting leaves and other light debris comprises: a collector and a rake which can be manipulated readily to facilitate stashing materials in plastic bag. The collector includes a generally conical body portion that rearwardly converges along an axis to a generally circular egress, a forwardly projecting scoop portion that defines with the body portion a frustro-circular ingress, and a handle portion that adjoins the body portion along the axis, the scoop portion and the handle portion being diametrically opposed with respect to the axis. The rake includes, along an axis of elongation, a forward claw having projecting downwardly curved talons, a rearward cuff that is adapted to envelop the arm of an operator, and a medial transverse handle that is adapted to be gripped by the hand of an operator. The system is such that an operator, (1) with one hand, can grasp the collector handle and an edge of a plastic bag in order to hold the mouth of the bag in position about the collector's ingress, and (2) with the other hand and arm, can engage the rake handle and cuff by which to control the claw in order to sweep the leaves and other light debris into the collector's ingress.
