The free ends of the legs are connected to one another by means of a rake part, and a handle can be fastened in an extension at the vertex of the bow. The rake part consists of a roller, the end pieces of which are inserted rotatably in the free ends of the legs of the bow. Rows of tines or claws are arranged on the circumference over the length of the roller.
