ABSTRACT:
A hand held garden implement, namely a rake, contains means for cleaning its own tines of collected leaves, vegetable matter or other adhering material. The head of the rake, containing a plurality of tines, moves as a unit. This movement draws the end prongs or teeth of the tines into tubes extending throughout the length of a cleaning shield. The shield is rigidly affixed to the rake handle. The head and tines are moved longitudinally upwardly and downwardly along the rake handle by means of a hand grip conveniently located near the top of the rake handle so that an operator does not have to stoop and reach down or reverse the orientation of the rake to clean it.
