  • Patent number: 4067107
    Abstract: A hand implement for engaging and removing snow and ice from curved and/or flat surfaces, such as windshields, windows, hoods, roofs, and trunk lids of motor vehicles and the like, comprises a generally dustpan-shaped plastic member. The plastic member has a planar surface, a leading edge on the forward end of the planar surface, a manual grip at the rear end of the plastic member, a barrier positioned rearwardly of said leading edge for keeping snow and ice away from the manual grip, and side walls extending rearwardly from the leading edge. Optionally, a handle is detachable from the rear of the plastic member. The leading edge flexes to conform to any curvature of the curved and/or flat surfaces and scrapes snow and ice from the surfaces without causing damage to them. Preferably, the generally dustpan-shaped plastic member is a one-piece, integrally molded structure about twelve inches wide.
