Abstract
A shovel includes a continuously curved blade comprising a curved central portion that extends from a first cutting edge to a second cutting edge and a first curved wing and a second curved wing disposed along a curved central portion. The shovel also includes a base operably coupled to the continuously curved blade and comprising a first side wall coupled to a concave surface of the first curved wing, a second side wall spaced from the first side wall and coupled to a concave surface of the second curved wing, and a third side wall coupled to the curved central portion, wherein the third side wall extends from the first side wall and the second side wall toward the first cutting edge.

A shovel comprising:
- a continuously curved blade comprising:
- a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge opposite the first cutting edge;
- a curved central portion that extends from the first cutting edge to the second cutting edge;
- a first curved wing disposed along a first side of the curved central portion and curving away from the central portion;
- a second curved wing disposed along a second side of the curved central portion and curving away from the curved central portion;
- wherein the first curved wing extends from the first cutting edge to the second cutting edge;
- and
- wherein the second curved wing extends from the first cutting edge to the second cutting edge;
- a base operably coupled to the continuously curved blade and comprising:
- a first side wall coupled to a concave surface of the first curved wing;
- a second side wall spaced from the first side wall and coupled to a concave surface of the second curved wing;
- and
