Abstract: |
A pair of workgloves are provided with rake tines at the ends of the fingers. The tines extend outwardly from the palm side of the gloves so as to enable the gloves to be used in a raking fashion to clean debris such as leaves from rake-inaccessible places which can be reached by hand.

First Claim:
Show all 4 claims |
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. A work glove for hand-gathering of leaves and loose debris from relatively inaccessible places within an arm's length of the person wearing the glove, said gathering taking place by means of a raking-like action in which the debris can be drawn toward the wearer; said glove comprising:
- a unitary back side, palm side and finger and thumb extensions; and
- a relatively short, blunt-ended rake tine extending generally perpendicularly outwardly from the distal ends of a plurality of the finger extensions in the direction away from the palm side of the glove, said tines being of a length approximating the length of a user's fingers from the fingertip to the first joint, and being of a width approximating one third the width of a finger extension of said glove.
