Patent ID: 7942977

Claim:
A moon trowel apparatus comprising: a blade having a flat planar surface, a curved first edge, and side edges, said curved first edge having a radius of curvature of 5 and ⅝ inches so as to match the radius of curvature of an interior side-wall surface of a standard cylindrical five-gallon bucket having a flat bottom surface, wherein the 5 and ⅝ inch radius curved first edge is configured to effectuate flush contact between the curved first edge of the blade and the interior side-wall surface of a standard cylindrical five-gallon bucket so as to mate with the interior side-wall surface of the bucket along the length of the curved first edge when the flat planar surface of the blade is positioned within the standard cylindrical five-gallon bucket so that the flat planar surface of the blade resides in a substantially horizontal orientation parallel to the flat bottom surface of the standard cylindrical five-gallon bucket, and further wherein said side edges of the blade extend to a base of the blade located opposite the curved first edge of the blade; and a handle attached to an elevation section of the trowel, wherein the handle extends from the elevation section of the trowel; wherein the elevation section is located between the base of the blade and the handle, the elevation section being connected to the base of the blade and extending at an acute angle from the base of the blade, the acute angle referenced against the plane of the flat planar surface of the blade, and further wherein the elevation section positions the handle in a plane other than that of the flat planar surface of the blade.
