Patent ID: 8256809

Claim:
A tool for manipulating a material resting on or part of a surface, the tool comprising: an elongated handle having proximal and distal ends; an elongated shaft at a proximal end of the elongated handle; and a compound head fixed at a center portion thereof to a distal end of the elongated shaft, the compound head having a first tool section having a first tangential angle at an end of the first tool section of less than 30 degrees with respect to the elongated handle, and having a second tool section having a second tangential angle at an end of the second tool section of between 60 and 120 degrees with respect to the elongated handle; said first tool section having a side profile that defines a first parabolic expression and said second tool section having a side profile that defines a second parabolic expression rotated with respect to the first parabolic expression; said first and second tool sections having a continuous, non-flat transition between said parabolic expressions; said distal and proximal ends of the elongated shaft having longitudinal axis that are distally offset; whereby the tool may be used alternately in a first orientation to work the material using the first tool section, or by rotating the handle 180 degrees in a second orientation to work the material using the second tool section.
