FIGS. 1-19 illustrate an embodiment of ashovel 100 described herein and a strap assembly.FIG. 20 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the strap assembly. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , theshovel 100 may have ablade assembly 102 having ablade 110. Theshovel 100 may also have ahandle assembly 104 and astrap assembly 106, which may also be referenced herein as a strap attachment mechanism. As illustrated inFIG. 3 , theshovel 100 may also have askid assembly 108. - An
exemplary shovel 100 may have ablade 110 having an underside 111 (seeFIG. 3 ), an upper side (113), and at least oneside wall 115, theupper side 113 configured to hold snow. Theshovel 100 may have askid 108 coupled to theunderside 111 of theblade 110, and astrap attachment mechanism 106 coupled to the at least oneside wall 115. - The
strap assembly 106 may provide means for temporarily affixing theshovel 100 to another device, such as a user's backpack, a vehicle, a sled, and/or a receiving hook. Thestrap assembly 106 and/or theskid assembly 108 may provide a means for protecting the surface across which theshovel 100 is dragged. Thestrap assembly 106 and/or theskid assembly 108 may be made of a synthetic material and/or a non-metallic material. Thestrap assembly 106 and/or theskid assembly 108 may be “sacrificial” wear components. That is, the strap and/or skidassemblies shovel 100 is dragged about, thereby protecting theblade 110. - The
strap assembly 106 and/or theskid assembly 108 may be replaceable. - The components of the
shovel 100 may be made of any material suitable for the purpose of use in a snow shovel. Recycled components may be used. - The
shovel 100 may have atelescoping shaft 119 or a plurality ofshafts 119 coupling thehandle portion 104 to the blade assembly (see e.g.FIGS. 8 and 9 ). The telescoping shaft may be removable from the blade assembly. Thetelescoping shaft 119 may be attachable at a first position, such as that illustrated inFIG. 1 , and/or a second position, such as that illustrated inFIG. 2 . The telescoping shaft may be adjustable in length and/or attachment position without the use of tools. The telescoping shaft may telescope in length between about 18″ and about 56.5″. Theblade 110 may be about 12″ in height. That is, the total height of the shovel may be adjustable between about 12″ during a storage configuration wherein the shaft is in the first position and up to 68.5″ wherein the shaft is in the second position and fully extended. - A variety of handles may be provided on the
shovel 100. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , ahandle connector 117 may be provided to couple a handle to theblade 110. - The
blade 110 may have a plurality of teeth at a distal end of theblade 110, so as to assist with efficient snow grooming and/or ice scraping. - With reference to
FIGS. 13-19 , and in particularFIG. 16 , thestrap assembly 106 may include afirst side 106 a and asecond side 106 b, with one of the sides configured to snap into the other side. For example, thefirst side 106 a may have aflanged protrusion 106 c shaped to flex as thefirst side 106 a is pressed against thesecond side 106 b, and to engage flanged recess 106 d in thesecond side 106 b, although those skilled in the art will recognize that a reverse configuration is possible. - With reference to
FIG. 20 , one can readily recognize that any temporary engagement between the first and second sides of thestrap assembly 106 is possible and/or that the first and second sides may be reversible with each other. - Turning now to
FIG. 21 , amethod 2100 of making a shovel includes providing 2102 a blade having an underside, an upper side, and at least one side wall, the upper side configured to hold snow. Themethod 2100 may include coupling 2104 a skid to the underside of the blade, and coupling a strap attachment mechanism to the at least one side wall. Themethod 2100 may be accomplished using theshovel 100 previously described herein. - Turning now to
FIG. 22 , Amethod 2200 of using a shovel includes providing 2202 a shovel with (a) a blade having an underside, an upper side, and at least one side wall, the upper side configured to hold snow, (b) a skid coupled to the underside of the blade, and (c) a strap attachment mechanism coupled to the blade. Themethod 2200 may include detaching 2204 at least one of the skid or the strap attachment mechanism from the blade. Themethod 2200 may be accomplished using theshovel 100 previously described herein. - The terms and expressions employed herein are used as terms and expressions of description and not of limitation, and there is no intention, in the use of such terms and expressions, of excluding any equivalents of the features shown and described or portions thereof. In addition, having described certain embodiments, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that other embodiments incorporating the concepts disclosed herein may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, the described embodiments are to be considered in all respects as only illustrative and not restrictive.
- Each of the various elements disclosed herein may be achieved in a variety of manners. This disclosure should be understood to encompass each such variation, be it a variation of an embodiment of any apparatus embodiment, a method or process embodiment, or even merely a variation of any element of these. Particularly, it should be understood that the words for each element may be expressed by equivalent apparatus terms or method terms—even if only the function or result is the same. Such equivalent, broader, or even more generic terms should be considered to be encompassed in the description of each element or action. Such terms can be substituted where desired to make explicit the implicitly broad coverage to which this disclosure is entitled.
- As but one example, it should be understood that all action may be expressed as a means for taking that action or as an element which causes that action. Similarly, each physical element disclosed should be understood to encompass a disclosure of the action which that physical element facilitates. Regarding this last aspect, by way of example only, the disclosure of a fastener should be understood to encompass disclosure of the act of fastening—whether explicitly discussed or not—and, conversely, were there only disclosure of the act of fastening, such a disclosure should be understood to encompass disclosure of a fastening mechanism. Such changes and alternative terms are to be understood to be explicitly included in the description.
- The previous description of the disclosed embodiments and examples is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present disclosure as defined by the claims. Thus, the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the examples disclosed herein. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as claimed.
