ABSTRACT:
A rake for use in gathering fruit, such as nuts, fallen from a tree is disclosed. The rake includes a head assembly, an elongated handle for pulling the head assembly along the ground, and means for connecting the handle at an angle to the head assembly. The head assembly includes a tine bar having an array of tines depending in spaced relation therefrom. Each tine has an upturned tip, a shank connected to the tine bar, and a concave curved portion connecting the shank and tip to provide a fruit containing hopper in front of the rake. Similarly shaped retainer tines are mounted at opposite ends of the array above the level thereof to retain fruit in the hopper. To unload the hopper, the head assembly is tilted to permit the fruit to roll over a retainer tine and into a suitable container.
