US Patent:

Filed:
Jul 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/560017
Inventors:
Jerry Stuart Pearl - Moon Township PA, US
International Classification:
B25G 1/10
US Classification:
16430
Abstract:
A rake handle curved forward with one hand in front of the other grasping onto hand grips allowing for ergonomic head and neck, and upper and lower extremity positioning, comfort and alignment. It is bolted to a rake tine head positioning the user behind the tines.The rake handle is curved to maximize body alignment and reduce fatigue.The rake handle can be made of metal or plastic tubing, and bent to the desired specifications.The ergonomics of placing one hand in front of the other in a midline position to the body and chest, along with feet, and hips parallel to one another, reduces fatigue and body strain, since the counter-rotation of the shoulder girdle rotating opposite to the hips and pelvis, as experienced with conventional raking, is significantly reduced, and can be eliminated, while maintaining optimal control of the rake.
