ABSTRACT:
A rake includes a sleeve, a rod rotatably engaged in the sleeve, two tine heads secured to the sleeve and the rod for allowing the tine heads to be rotated relative to each other. A ratchet device may drive the rod relative to the sleeve unidirectionally such that the tine heads may be rotated toward each other by the ratchet device in order to grasp the tree leaves to be cleaned. A spring may bias the tine heads away from each other to an open or working position. A pole and a hand grip are secured to the rod for rotating the rod and thus for rotating the tine heads toward each other.
