ABSTRACT:
A lawn rake is disclosed which comprises a main body portion supported by wheels. A plurality of broad, closely spaced gathering tines formed from a sheet of spring steel or other resilient material extend downwardly and rearwardly from the main body portion. These tines are forwardly disposed at their lower end to engage the ground to gather pine needles, grass clippings and leaves when the rake is pushed forward, and to pass over such debris when the rake is pulled backward. When the rake is pulled backward, debris previously gathered by the gathering tines is transferred to a second set of tines disposed forwardly of the gathering tines. These pusher tines keep the gathered pine needles, grass clippings, etc., in front of the gathering tines thereby preventing the same from clogging with debris.
