A rake apparatus for moving debris, such as leaves or other yard waste, from the ground includes a body which is elongated from a first end to a second end of the body. A plurality of tines is coupled to and extends away from the first end of the body. A handle is coupled to a rear surface of the body adjacent to the second end of the body. A method of using two rake apparatuses in conjunction with each other to move debris is also claimed.

A two-sided raking device for inside and/or outside use. The raking device includes a handle operable to be held by a user. The raking device also includes a rake adapter coupled to the handle at a top end of the rake adapter. The rake adapter includes a body comprising a plurality of apertures. The rake adapter also includes a first aperture at a bottom end of the body configured to receive a first rake head. The rake adapter further includes a second aperture at the bottom end of the body configured to receive a second rake head. The raking device may include the first rake head coupled to the body of the rake adapter through the first aperture and the second rake head coupled to the body of the rake adapter through the second aperture.

A head assembly for a rake is provided. The head assembly includes a base portion, a handle coupling, and a number of tines. Each tine includes an elongated body. Each tine body includes a first end, a flexure portion, an offset portion, and a distal second end. The tines includes a first set of tines and a second set of tines. A number of tine bodies in the first set of tines have an offset portion lateral cross-sectional aspect ratio that is greater than 1.0. A number of tine bodies in the second set of tines have an offset portion lateral cross-sectional aspect ratio that is less than 1.0.

The disclosure provided herein is directed to a hand rakepan having a handle, a head, and plurality of tines. The handle, in some aspects, is ergonomically provided to accommodate a variety of grips during use that facilitate manipulation of the hand rakepan as a hand tool using only a single hand. Likewise, in certain aspects, the head of hand rakepan has one or more grooves and notches to provide various grip's to be used during one-handed manipulation of the hand rakepan during raking, collecting, and transporting.

A device is provided for removing vegetation from ground surfaces. The device includes a body defining multiple channels, wherein each channel of the multiple channels has an inlet for receiving vegetation into the channel and a pinch point for capturing the vegetation in the channel. In connection therewith, a width dimension of each channel of the multiple channels at the inlet is greater than a width dimension of said channel at the pinch point.

A rake assembly is provided with a base with a handle coupling, sized to extend laterally from the coupling. A plurality of tines extends from the base, away from the coupling. The plurality of tines is parallel and curved at distal ends of the tines and have a width that is greater than a thickness of the tines. The plurality of tines is spaced apart laterally by a spacing that is less than the width of the tines as a plurality of gaps. A length of the gaps is sequentially shortened laterally away from the coupling. A proximal end of the tines is coplanar or tangent to the base. A sidewall extends from a proximal end of the base and from lateral sides of the base, to collectively provide a shovel concavity with the base and the plurality of tines.
