Abstract:
A device for gathering and lifting leaves comprising:a first pivotal axis extending through a handle of a first leaf scoop approximately midway between an upper end of the first leaf scoop and a lower end of the first leaf scoop, a second pivotal axis extending through a handle of a second leaf scoop approximately midway between an upper end of the second leaf scoop and a lower end of the second leaf scoop, said first and said second pivotal axis secured together,said first and second handles being offset from each other so that heads provided on the lower ends of the leaf scoops open relative to each other as the upper ends of the handles move away from each other and so that the heads of the leaf scoops close relative to each other as the upper ends of the handles move toward each other,a central handle securing to the pivotal axes approximately midway between the axes so that said central handle extends outward approximately perpendicular to the handles of the leaf scoops, andeach said head having an elongated width dimension and an increased concave depth so that the heads together define a large, football shaped void therebetween for capturing leaves.
