Patent ID: 7695036

Claim:
A snow-sweeping device, the snow-sweeping device for sweeping accumulated snow, the snow-sweeping device comprising: an elongate handle, the handle having upper and lower handle ends, the lower handle end being threaded; a wedge-shaped block, the block being constructed from a semi-rigid material and having a top side, a bottom side, a back side, a front side, and opposed lateral sides, the top and bottom sides being rectangular and parallel, the top side having a centralized threaded aperture, the front, back, and lateral sides being quadrangular thereby defining opposed, anterior and posterior snow-sweeping planes angled relative to the top and bottom sides; and a fastener for enhancing fastened attachment of the handle to the block, the fastener having head and pointed fastener ends, the lower handle end being threadably received in the threaded aperture for attaching the handle to the block, the pointed fastener end being received in the lower handle end, the lateral sides ramping up from the bottom side to the top side for enhancing block strength adjacent the lower handle end, a first lateral side being orthogonally angled relative to the top and bottom sides, said first lateral side and the bottom side for sweeping snow from stain having orthogonal and flush tread-to-riser junctions, a second lateral side being non-orthogonally angled relative to the top and bottom sides, said second lateral side and bottom side for sweeping snow from stairs having orthogonal and staggered riser-to-tread junctions, said semi-rigid material enabling block flexibility adjacent the bottom side, the handle enabling a user to sweep accumulated snow via the snow-sweeping planes, the block flexibility for enabling squeegee action while sweeping accumulated snow via the snow-sweeping planes.
