  • Patent number: 5522629
    Abstract: A reversible ansate implement includes a generally elongate handle having opposite distal and proximal ends thereof. A scoop presenting a substantially concave material facing surface thereof communicating between a handle attachment edge and an oppositely disposed material intercepting edge may be selectively and reversibly coupled at its handle attachment edge to the distal end of the elongate handle. In use, the material facing surface of the scoop may be selectively positioned both toward and away from the elongate handle as required for the particular application, and in a particular embodiment, a combined rake and shovel is disclosed having a reversible scoop which may be selectively reversed with respect to a common elongate handle in order to allow a user thereof to either pull or push material with the concave facing surface of the scoop.
