C. C. LASKER MANUALLY OPERATED SNOW REMOVAL TOOL Feb. 14, 1956 7 Filed Sept. 12, 1949 llllhll Cfiar/a C 1451?? BY INVENTOR,
ATTORNEY United States Patent MANUALLY OPERATED SNOW REMOVAL TOOL Charles C. Lasker, Kansas City, Mo.
Application September 12, 1949, Serial No. 115,270
Claims. CI. 37-43 I My invention relates to snow removal apparatus, and more particularly to a tool for removing snow from streets, roadways, and other paved, unpaved and graveled surfaces, that is adapted to be manually operated.
My snow removal'tool comprises a body portion, which serves as a means for scraping snow or similar material from a surface and scooping it up so that it can be dumped at a convenient place, said body portion being so mounted that it is adapted to be tilted to a position with the scraping edge thereof out of engagement with the surface to be cleaned, so that it can be slid along over that surfaceand any other surfaces encountered to the dumping point and will retain the snow and similar accumulated material on the body portion.
To accomplish this purpose I have provided a body portion for my improved tool that is generally concavoconvex, being made of sheet metal so that the major portion of the body portion thereof is a part of a cylinder, substantially a quadrant thereof, but which has a plane portion that extends forwardly from said concavo-convex portion to provide a scraping edge at the forward end of said body portion. y
it is a further purpose of my invention to mount said body portion in such a manner that it is supported on the surface to be cleaned either in the position with the scraping edge in contact with such a surface or with the scraping edge raised from said surface, said means comprising combination skids and rockers that have a pair of legs that extend at an oblique angle to each other and are connected at their ends with the body portion and which has a curved portion connecting the same, about which the tool can be rocked to move the body portion from a scraping position to a carrying or transporting position.
it is a further purpose of my invention to provide a tool of the above mentioned character that has a body portion and combination skids and rockers that are so related to the body portion as to stiffen and strengthen said rockers and body portion due to the fact that a substantially triangular stmcture results from the body portion and the connected combination skids and rockers.
it is a further purpose of my invention to provide a handle on said tool that is arranged in suchfa manner as to be in a convenient position for moving the tool when it is in snow removing position and also in a convenient position for moving the tool when it is in snow carrying position, said handle being connected with the body por- Patented Feb. 14, 1956 the snow transporting position of said tool being shown in dotted lines.
7 Fig. 2 is a view in rear elevation of my improved tool, partly broken away, and
Fig. 3 is a top plan view thereof, the handle being partly broken away.
Referring in detail to the drawings, my improved snow removing tool comprises a body portion 4, which has a concave-convex portion 5 that is curved in only one direction so that it is partly cylindrical and is to the extent of one-quarter of a cylinder, as shown in the drawings. Said body portion further has a forward end portion 6 that is plane or flat and which extends from the concavoconvex portion terminating in a forward straight edge 7 that constitutes the scraping edge of the snow removing tool. Secured to the concave-convex portion of the body portion 4 is a flange portion 8 of a ferrule 9, in which the on the body portion for supporting the same in the full and dotted line positions shown in Fig. 1. Said combination rockers and skids comprise wide sheet metal members that are broad and fiat, each having a pair of legs 11 and 12 which extend at an acute angle to each other. Said legs 11 and Marc connected together by means of a curved portion 13 integral therewith. The top end 14 of the leg 11 is secured to the body portion 4 at the top edge 15 thereof, and the forward end 16 of the leg 12 is secured to the plane portion 6 of the body portion 4 adjacent but tion near the upper end thereof and extending at an ob- 1 lique angle to the surface on which the body portion 1s removing tool, a portion ofthe handle being broken away,
spaced rearwardly from the forward end 7 thereof, said ends of said legs being, preferably, secured to the body portion by welding.
Accordingly the leg 12 will extend upwardly at an oblique angle from the curved portion 13 to the end 16 thereof when in the full line position shown in Fig. 1, and the tool will be supported on the surface over which it is pushed at substantially the junction of the legs 12 and the curved portions 13, but when in the dot-ted line position the tool will be supported on the curved portions 13 adjacent the legs 12. It will also be noted that the legs 11 and 12 and the body portion 4 form a substantially triangular formation, thus mutually bracing or reinforcing each other and providing a very strong rugged structure, which is necessary for an implement of this character. It will be noted that the two combination rockers and skids are located at opposite sides of thebody portion 4, and thus provide a stable support for said body portion both in its scraping position and its carrying or transporting position.
In the use of the tool the same is pushed along over the surface that is to be cleaned of snow in the full line position thereof, as shown in Fig. l, with the edge 7 in scraping engagement with the surface. This will cause the snow and similar material to be forced upwardly on the inclined plane surface 6 and onto the concavely curved basket-like portion of the body portion. This can be continued until so much snow has accumulated on the body portion that it is completely filled. After this has been done the tool is tilted to the dotted line position shown in Fig. 1 by means of the handle and slid along over either cleaned or snow covered surfaces, as the case may be, to a point where the snow can be dumped from the body portion and be out of the way. This can be readily accomplished by tilting the body portion forwardly by means of the handle 10 on its forward edge 7 so that the material accumulated thereon will slide off the body portion. Thus absolutely no lifting of the snow, as in the case of a shovel, is necessary, thus greatly lightening the work involved in cleaning snow off walks, pavements and other surfaces. By providing the rounded portion 13 connecting the legs 11 and 12, the sliding over uneven surfaces of the loaded snow removing tool will take place without any difficulty. By providing a pair of wide runners or skids, the scraping or snow removing action of the tool is also greatly lightened and simplified, as all that is necessary is to push forwardly against the body portion with the handle and the tool will move along easily on the surface to be cleaned, only the portions 12 of the skids adjacent the curved portions 13 and the scraping edge 7 of the body portion 4 being in contact with the surface being cleaned while this is taking place.
