A foldable rake implement (10) includes an elongated handle (12) having a proximal end (14) to be grasped by the user and a distal end (16). An articu lated frame structure (18) is attached to the handle at the distal end. The articu lated frame structure includes a central axis of articulation dividing the frame s tructure into two mirror-image first (18A) and second (18B) frame halves. The axis of articulation is coaxial with the handle and defines an axis about which t he articulated frame structure moves between an unfolded position whereat the f irstand second frame halves of the frame structure symme trically project outwardly to opposite lateral sides of the handle and a folded position whereat the fi rst and second frame halves are moved toward each other and into generally mutua l overlaying relationship. The articulated frame structure further includes a plurality of spaced-apart tines (20), a plurality of first transverse fingers (22) pro jecting outwardly from one side of the first frame half, and a plurality of second t ransverse fingers (24) projecting outwardly from one side of the second frame half opp osite the first fingers.
