<p>An improved rake especially suited for use in raking among shrubbery is provided. The rake comprises a support means having handle means extending from the support means for manipulation of the rake. A plurality of elongated, generally resilient, spaced apart tines having a first end adapted for raking and a second end, are slidably carried by the support means. The first end of the tines is spaced apart from the support assembly. The rake also includes biasing means for maintaining the tines biased in an outward direction from the support assembly so that, if one of the tines strikes an object during raking, the tine can retract in opposition to the biasing means and the striking of the object does not interfere with the raking action of the remaining tines. When the tine is disengaged from the object such as a stalk of a bush, the biasing means causes the tine to return to its original outward postion.</p> |
