In this particular case, the noun rake, ( not actually an agricultural implement in this example) taken from the adjective "raked" meaning "to incline from the horizontal" or in this case the vertical, as in "raked masts" or if you will, "raked windscreens"
The pink handle you refer to is merely a simple prop in order to set and adjust the rake angle.
I trust this clarifies your wrongful assumption.
