grabber rake
a few years ago we bought one of these tools,it proved to be one of the most
usefull tools ever invented,it is operated by a sliding sleeve which travels uo and down an aluminium shaft which operates two plastic paddles which open and close picking up bulk leaves or other garden rubbish. the garden centre we purchased it from no longer has them and has no details of who supplied them.we have done some detective work and found from the patent numbers from USA that it was invented by a chap from weybridge called Henry E Wetherall who assigned the patent to a firm called Q V Sales Ltd in Sevenoaks Kent,the American patent office supplied this info for free,when we contacted the UK patent office we were told a search costs £540.00,if anyone has any knowledge or recollection of any of this could you help us ?,we are willing if needed to import or buy in bulk as we can use them in our buisness,thank you all and happy new year. |
