Problems solved by technology

Residents of cold weather climates often find their daily lives impeded by the accumulation of snow on the ground.
In the event that the snowfall is unexpected or the amount of accumulation is larger than anticipated, individuals may not be able to take adequate steps to prevent the snow from building-up.
The accumulation of snow on sidewalks, driveways, and streets can result in slippery surfaces that make walking or driving hazardous.
The weight of snow being lifted, or the speed with which it is extricated can be problematic for users, placing considerable strain on the user's arms and back.
Serious injuries are possible if proper technique is not utilized w

Abstract

A snow shovel device is provided that allows a user to remove snow from pathways. The shovel comprises a “V” shaped blade surface attached to a telescoping main shaft, which is fixedly attached to a push handle. The “V” shape of the blades provides a plow device to efficiently pierce deep snow in order to create a clear pathway. The main shaft may be pivoted in a plurality of directions to allow the user to adjust the yaw angle of the blade surface as well as the pivot angle of the main shaft with respect to the blades. Adjustment of the pivot angle and shaft length reduces strain on the user as snow is displaced.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 328,027 filed on Apr. 26, 2010, entitled “V Snow Shovel.”BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a snow shovel device for removing snow from pathways and in particular to a snow shovel device having a “V” shaped wedge for plowing and compacting snow.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]Residents of cold weather climates often find their daily lives impeded by the accumulation of snow on the ground. If the snowfall is anticipated, individuals will often place rock salt down on pathways and driveways to melt falling snow and prevent it from accumulating. In the event that the snowfall is unexpected or the amount of accumulation is larger than anticipated, individuals may not be able to take adequate steps to prevent the snow from building-up. The accumulation of snow on sidewalks, driveways, and streets ca...
