Asphalt Rake Assembly

Abstract

An asphalt rake assembly for enhancing ergonomics of a rake includes a rake head that has sequence of triangular teeth thereon for raking material. A handle is coupled to the rake head and the handle has a plurality of intersecting sides. Thus, the handle has a rectangular cross section taken along a longitudinal axis. In this way each of the intersecting sides can be gripped thereby facilitating the rake head to be tilted at a selected angle while maintaining preferred ergonomic positioning of a user's hands on the handle.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An asphalt rake assembly being configured to rack and level asphalt, said assembly comprising:
 a rake head having sequence of triangular teeth thereon wherein said triangular teeth are configured to rake material;   a handle being coupled to said rake head, having a plurality of intersecting sides such that said handle has a rectangular cross section taken along a longitudinal axis wherein each of said intersecting sides is configured to be gripped thereby facilitating said rake head to be tilted at a selected angle while maintaining preferred ergonomic positioning of a user's hands on said handle.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 said rake head has a first end, a second end, a top edge, a bottom edge and a rear surface, said rake head being elongated between said first and second ends;   said top edge has each of said teeth being positioned thereon, said teeth being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said first and second ends; and   said bottom edge has said crenellations being positioned thereon, said crenellations being distributed between said first and second ends.   
     
     
         3 . An asphalt rake assembly being configured to rack and level asphalt, said assembly comprising:
 a rake head having sequence of triangular teeth thereon wherein said triangular teeth are configured to rake material, said rake head having a sequence of crenellations thereon wherein said crenellations are configured to produce a series of ridges in the material, said rake head having a first end, a second end, a top edge, a bottom edge and a rear surface, said rake head being elongated between said first and second ends, said top edge has each of said teeth being positioned thereon, said teeth being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said first and second ends, said bottom edge has said crenellations being positioned thereon, said crenellations being distributed between said first and second ends; and   a handle being coupled to said rake head, having a plurality of intersecting sides such that said handle has a rectangular cross section taken along a longitudinal axis wherein each of said intersecting sides is configured to be gripped thereby facilitating said rake head to be tilted at a selected angle while maintaining preferred ergonomic positioning of a user's hands on said handle.   
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said handle has a primary end, a secondary end and an outer surface extending therebetween, said outer surface including each of said intersecting sides, said secondary end being coupled to said rear surface of said rake head, said secondary end being centrally positioned between said first and second ends of said rake head. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , further comprising a grip being positioned around said handle, said grip extending from said first end of said handle toward said second end of said handle, said grip being comprised of a resiliently compressible material for enhancing gripping said grip. 
     
     
         6 . An asphalt rake assembly being configured to rack and level asphalt, said assembly comprising:
 a rake head having sequence of triangular teeth thereon wherein said triangular teeth are configured to rake material, said rake head having a first end, a second end, a top edge, a bottom edge and a rear surface, said rake head being elongated between said first and second ends, said top edge having each of said teeth being positioned thereon, said teeth being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said first and second ends;   a handle being coupled to said rake head, having a plurality of intersecting sides such that said handle has a rectangular cross section taken along a longitudinal axis wherein each of said intersecting sides is configured to be gripped thereby facilitating said rake head to be tilted at a selected angle while maintaining preferred ergonomic positioning of a user's hands on said handle, said handle having a primary end, a secondary end and an outer surface extending therebetween, said outer surface including each of said intersecting sides, said secondary end being coupled to said rear surface of said rake head, said secondary end being centrally positioned between said first and second ends of said rake head; and   a grip being positioned around said handle, said grip extending from said first end of said handle toward said second end of said handle, said grip being comprised of a resiliently compressible material for enhancing gripping said grip.   
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein said bottom edge of said rake head having a plurality of crenellations each extending toward said top edge, said crenellations being distributed between said first and second ends wherein said crenellations are configured to produce a series of ridges in the material.
