ABSTRACT:
A rake (10), for smoothing sand surfaces (18A and 18B) in response to pulling the rake (10) along a longitudinal axis (22), includes an elongated head (26) that is disposed transversely to the longitudinal axis (22), and that includes first (52A) and second (52B) pluralities of blades (54A and 54B). Trailing edges (70) of each blade (54A or 54B) are disposed closer to the longitudinal axis (22) than leading edges (68), thereof; so that grains (122A and 122B) of sand are moved transversely inward toward the longitudinal axis (22). The elongated head (26) includes a front curvilinear surface (58) that raises the elongated head (26), a rear curvilinear surface (62) that irons the surface (16), and a flattened portion (66) that floats the elongated head (26) during the raking step.
