Abstract

An array of tines are carried by a frame assembly so that the tines of the tine array are spaced one from the other across the assembly and so that ends of alternate tines form two rows of tine ends. The frame assembly is made of hollow pipe rods connected together by elbows, pipe, connectors and 'T's and so that one end of each tine is lodged in a first rod and the tines extend through a second rod. A bias rod extends across the tines and is spring urged against the tines proximate free ends thereof. Prongs, either separately formed, or extensions of the tines extend out from the frame assembly in a direction opposite to that of the tines. A removable push handle is pivotally carried by the frame assembly for movement between a first or raking disposition and a second or collection disposition. The push handle, when removed, is disposable on the frame which may thereafter be carried by a carry handle also secured to the frame assembly.
