Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a solution for removing ice from flat surfaces such as driveways, pavements, and windshields using a single handle double blade ice removal device. The device has two blades, one leading the other, that break or chip ice in a unique way. The chopping blade breaks ice on the surface of the ice while the scrapping blade collects the ice pieces. The design of the device allows for a hammering action on the ice surface, dislodging the ice and breaking it into smaller pieces. The device is thicker than existing designs, allowing for the removal of thicker layers of snow.

Problems solved by technology

This impact not only dislodges the ice from flat surfaces but also breaks or chops ice into smaller pieces.

first embodiment

[0019]Referring now to the drawings of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, Single Handle Double Bladed Ice Removing Devices 10 for removing ice from flat surfaces; in accordance with the invention broadly includes a handle bar 110; collecting blade 120; chopping blade 130; chopping edge 140; collecting edge 150; axis of the handle bar 160; minor axis of the collecting blade 170; minor axis of the chopping blade 180; center of gravity of the chopping blade 190; a detachable fixture 200; and a curved bar 210.

[0020]As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the collecting blade 120 is fixed to the handle bar 110 at the shoveling end of the handle bar with the minor axis of the collecting blade 170 approximately aligning with the axis of the handle bar 160. The chopping blade 130 is detachably fixed to the handle bar using the detachable fixture 200 and supporting bent 210 such that the minor axis of the chopping blade 180 and the minor axis of the collecting blade 170 lie on the same vertical plane as viewed in th...

second embodiment

[0022]Referring now to the drawings of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, Single Handle Double Bladed Ice Removing Devices 40 for removing ice from vehicle windshields; in accordance with the invention broadly includes a handle bar 410; scrapping blade 420; chopping blade 430; chopping edge 440; scrapping edge 450; axis of the handle bar 460; minor axis of the scrapping blade 470; minor axis of the chopping blade 480; and center of gravity of the chopping blade 490.

[0023]As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the scrapping blade 420 is fixed to the handle bar 410 at the ice scrapping end of the handle bar with the minor axis of the scrapping blade 470 approximately aligning with the surface of the windshield. The chopping blade 430 is fixed to the handle bar such that the minor axis of the chopping blade 480 and the minor axis of the scrapping blade 470 lie on the same vertical plane as viewed in the Plan View FIG. 3. The chopping blade is approximately semi-elliptical in shape so as to affect the shifting...

Abstract

A two bladed ice shovel and a two bladed windshield ice scrapper each having a single handle bar are disclosed. The collecting blade of the shovel has its axis substantially aligned with the axis of the handle bar. The axis of the second blade termed, chopping blade remains above the axis of the collecting blade. The axes of the two blades form a 30 to 60 degree angle. During ice removal, the chopping blade delivers roughly constant volume of load onto the shovel, leads the way, chops by vibratory hammering, the ice formed on the pavement; and the collecting blade follows and collects chopped ice allowing ice removal. The structure of the chopping blade provides a convenient second handle for ease of load disposal if desired. A second embodiment of the apparatus allows better removal of ice and snow from vehicle windshields.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a method and apparatus to remove ice and snow from flat or nearly flat surfaces such as drive ways, pavements, vehicle window shields and the like during the forward stroke of the apparatus. The apparatus has been developed to affect an impact on ice surfaces to break ice into pieces, an impact mainly dependant on the flexural property of the material and design features.[0002]One embodiment of the design can be used to chop ice formed on drive ways and pavements, and collect not only the chopped ice but also snow using only one forward stroke of a hand-held shovel. The design also allows for better control of load of snow and ice on the shovel.[0003]Another embodiment of the design can be used to chop ice formed on vehicle window shields to make it easy to scrape ice away doing both chopping and scrapping either in the forward or the backward stroke. This design allows greater depth of snow removal from windshield in each s...
