Abstract
An apparatus to aid in the collection of objects along a generally planar surface. The apparatus includes a base portion adapted to receive a handle and movable wings to form an increased area for plow-like use in pushing or pulling across the surface for collecting a large number of the objects. The wings can be pivotably coupled to the base portion using any suitable fastener and move from a first position to a second position. The base portion can include at least one slot sized to receive a handle portion for pushing the apparatus with a pair of wings in an extended position across an ice surface for collecting loose objects, including but not limited to hockey pucks.
