Abstract:
1. A scraper for removing ice, snow, or frost from a surface, the scraper comprising: an elongated handle for gripping and for applying leverage to the surface, the elongated handle extending at least partially along a plane; a blade head disposed near a first end of the elongated handle, the blade head defining a first substantially straight scraping edge entirely offset from the plane on a first side of the plane and a second substantially straight scraping edge entirely offset from the plane on a second side of the plane such that the first and second substantially straight scraping edges are offset from each other on opposite sides of the plane, the blade head forming a two-pronged U shape with each prong of the U shape including a first surface and a second surface that meet each other and terminate at one of the scraping edges at an angle of 90 degrees or less with respect to each other so as to form a right angle or an acute angle therebetween; and a plurality of bristles disposed near a second end of the elongated handle opposite the first end of the elongated handle and extending substantially parallel to the plane for brushing snow and debris off of the surface, the first substantially straight scraping edge of the blade head being configured to engage the surface when the elongated handle is held in a first orientation in which a user grips the elongated handle near its first end with his left hand and near its second end with his right hand with the plurality of bristles extending away from his right hand, and the second substantially straight scraping edge of the blade head being configured to engage the surface when the elongated handle is held in a second orientation in which the user grips the elongated handle near its first end with his right hand and near its second end with his left hand with the plurality of bristles extending away from his left hand.
