ABSTRACT:
A rake has a long handle and a projecting prong section. The prongs of the projecting prong section are held between an elongated upper clamping sheet and an elongated lower clamping sheet. A bolt extends through the fastener hole of the handle and the hole of the upper clamping sheet to engage in the threaded hole of the lower clamping sheet so as to fasten the lower end of the handle to the projecting prong section. A generally U-shaped retaining member has two ends which are bent inwardly so as to form a rectangular loop, thereby clamping the upper ends of the prongs in the retaining member. The upper plate portion of the retaining member is pressed to form a retaining hole in the upper end thereof. A generally Z-shaped connecting sheet has an upper plate portion fastened to the lower portion of the handle, a lower plate portion inserted into and confined within the retaining hole of the retaining member, and a connecting portion interconnecting the upper and lower plate portions.
