  • Publication number: 20230270034
    Abstract: A support aid for digging and prying when using a shovel is disclosed. The support aid allows a shovel user to support the weight of a load by use of a support shaft. A user pivots a load from one position to another more ergonomic position using the support shaft. An end of the support shaft has a channel freely slidable along a handle of a shovel, for allowing a fulcrum, which is defined by a point of contact between the handle and the channel, to be quickly moved along the handle. The channel is configured for allowing the shovel shaft to freely rotate about an axis, enabling a user to quickly change a shovel blade angle relative to the ground or relative to a load at any time. In this way, ergonomic application of the inherent mechanical advantage of a handle of a shovel is provided to users of the support.
