An improved assembly is described. The assembly includes a shaft affixed on a first side to a first handle and affixed to a tool on a second side. A first end of a continuous cord is affixed to the tool at a first location and a second end of the continuous cord is affixed to the tool at a second location. A second handle is affixed to a loop formed by the continuous cord. During use, a user grasps both handles, places the tool at a base of a payload, and pushes the assembly to load the payload onto the tool. By bending the users knees and not putting undue strain on the users back, the user may utilize the handles to lift and move the payload to a desired location.

A garden tool comprises a fork body with a base portion having upper and lower surfaces. The tool includes a plurality of elongated tines each having a first end connected to the base portion, and an opposed free end. A span element attaches to the base at an intermediate portion along the length of each tine, which are preferably parallel to each other. The span element includes one or more acute cutting edges, which may reside between adjacent tines, or may be connected to some or all of them, preferably being adjacent to the lower surface. According to one variant, the tines each include a plurality of span attachment facilities at different positions along their lengths. The span may have an elongated portion above the upper surface of the fork body. The tines may have opposed parallel sidewalls, and the tool may comprise three, four, five, or more tines.

A cleaning implement is described, which can have an elongate handle with a proximal end, a distal end, and an interior surface. The interior surface of the elongate handle can define an interior cavity of the elongate handle. An elastic element can be secured within the interior cavity of the handle at the proximal end. A motion rod can also be concentrically secured within the interior cavity of the handle, adjacent to the elastic element. The motion rod can have an exposed end protruding out of the elongate handle at the distal end, and the exposed end can have a tip with a tool attachment feature.

A multi-use hand tool system featuring modular interchangeable components including a digging and cutting head, a rake head; a claw hammer head, a snow shovel head; a garden fork head comprising, one or more hafts, an offset-L component providing a 90 degree orientation between components and/or and handle. The hand tool system features components and grips having a Reuleaux triangle configuration.

The invention relates to a fork (1) for collecting animal excrement, in particular horse droppings, comprising a handle (2) and a plurality of tines (3), which, after activation of an electromechanical actuation element (4), can be set into rapid vibration by a vibration device (5) arranged in the handle (2) so as to separate the animal excrement from shavings and other bedding material. The electromechanical actuation element (4) is mechanically and/or electrically decoupled from the vibration device (5).

A manure fork has an elongate handle with a fork head mounted thereupon. The fork head includes a rear frame, a tine frame, and a pair of side panels. The rear frame has a pair of side edges, a lower edge that extends a width. The tine frame includes a lateral body that abuts the lower edge of the rear frame and extends the width of the rear frame, and a plurality of tines extending outwardly from the lateral body such that the tine frame is disposed in a generally planar configuration, the tine frame further having side edges. A plurality of cable ties are provided that each wrap around the lower edge of the rear frame and the lateral body of the tine frame for further securing the tine frame to the rear frame.
