  • Patent number: 4193626
    Abstract: A push type snow scoop adapted for faster and easier removal of snow from sidewalks, driveways and the like without the need for manual lifting. The scoop includes a stamped, one-piece metal body having a relatively lightweight, rigid construction which facilitates shearing of snow from the surface to be cleaned and the easy ejection of snow from the scoop. The body of the illustrated scoop is formed with an outwardly extending coplanar flange about its outer periphery that is disposed at an acute angle to the surface to be cleared. The leading edge of the scoop is formed by a short flange parallel to the bottom of the scoop which facilitates movement of the scoop over even rough or uneven surfaces and gives further rigidity to the expanse of metal.
