  • Patent number: 4531713
    Abstract: Implement for snow removal includes a snow moving blade and a tubular handle of generally rectangular configuration with a cross-bar portion for manipulation of the implement. A tubular fulcrum member, of generally rectangular configuration, is pivotably carried on the back surface of the blade for pivotable movement from a retracted position generally coplanar with the handle to an angular position in which the member serves as a fulcrum. With the pivotable member disposed as a fulcrum, the implement becomes a lever for tossing snow accumulated against the front face of the blade when the implement is pushed in plow-like manner through a snow covered area. An elastic line is fastened at one end to the handle and at its other end to the fulcrum member for returning the member to its retracted position.
