  • Publication number: 20120204373
    Abstract: The finished version of the snow booger removal tool for vehicles originated through experimentation with a wide variety of materials and sizes, over a period of two years. The application was designed to perform the job for which it was intended, be mass produced in the U.S.A., shipped economically and make a profit. After testing numerous prototypes, a predetermined lightweight handle was selected because it could be quickly drilled, cut to accept the replaceable blade and make it easy for the operator to use the application without bending over. A predetermined replaceable scraper blade was selected that would not damage a vehicle's paint or body parts. The blade needed to be replaceable due to the possibility of becoming dull or damaged after prolonged use. Replacement blades are available through the applicant. The nylock nut and bolts were selected for their longevity in maintaining a secure holding of the replaceable scraper blade into the handle.
