A swather rake attachment assembly that quick connects to a front of a swather and includes two rake arms that each include lateral holding arm pivot connections to a base frame where the lateral arms are each pivotally coupled to arched reinforcement members by a torsion assembly that is coupled to a parabolic curved tool bar that includes the parabolic curved tool bar and arched reinforcement members, and includes a Z-bar coupling of the two rake arms together that control the height of the arm rake assemblies.

A sand trap rake for use on golf courses includes an elongate rake head having an elongate body member with a front end, a back end, and first and second lateral sides between the front and back ends. The rake head defines a raking direction aligned with a direction extending from the front end to the back end. A plurality of tines extend downwardly from the body member and are spaced apart along a longitudinal direction of the rake head, transverse to the raking direction. The rake further includes an elongate front blade extending downwardly from the front end of the body member, and an elongate rear blade extending downwardly from the back end of the body member. The rake may be used in one of four selectable raking modes to prepare a sand surface for golf play.

A rake device for cleaning rain gutters and roof valleys which includes a rake which is pivotally secured to an elongated support pole to enable the rake to be positioned in multiple positions with respect to the support pole to reach multiple portions of the rain gutter or the roof valley.

A device is provided that includes: an elongated handle having a proximal end and a distal end; a handle coupling device attached to the distal end of the elongated handle, the coupling device having a tubular head and a plurality of spaced legs extending distally from the tubular head; a first attachment device pivotally coupled to a distal end of a first leg of the handle coupling device and a second attachment device pivotally coupled to a distal end of a second leg the handle coupling device; and a first set of yard rake tines rotatably coupled to the first attachment device and a second set of yard rake tines rotatably coupled to the second attachment device. The first and second attachment devices are preferably configured pivotally for a user to be able to pivot the first and second attachment device between a first position wherein the first and second attachment device are essentially orthogonal to the elongated handle and at least one other position wherein first and second attachment device are other than orthogonal to the elongated handle. The first and second sets of yard rake tines are preferably configured rotatably for a user to be able to rotate the first and second yard rake tines between a first position wherein the tines extend outwardly to perform as a rake and at least one other position wherein the first and second yard rake tines extend outwardly in opposite directions to perform as a grabbing device.
