Abstract: A multifunction apparatus for engaging a surface is particularly suited for removal of snow and ice from the windshields and hoods of vehicles. The apparatus includes a support frame having two pulleys and a handle for manipulating the apparatus. An endless belt is entrained on the pulleys for movement along a continuous path. A bi-directional electrical motor is mounted on the frame and has forward and reverse modes for driving the endless belt along the continuous path. A plurality of surface engaging device assemblies having a first end connected to the endless belt and a second end extending outward from the endless belt provide for the multifunction operational modes. More specifically, each surface engaging device assembly includes first and second heads such as a scraper for removing ice and a brush for removing snow.
