Claims1
A manually operated snow mover comprising a curved wooden scoop, a pair of spaced handle arms fastened to the convex back of the scoop, a lower cutting edge and a leading circular cutting toe on the scoop, the free ends of the arms being spaced apart so the longer flat arm may be placed under a user's arm pit to act as a lever, the other arm having a long handle portion to form one half of a fulcrum and a cross arm with a handle portion connected across the two arms and extending over a considerable distance to be grasped by a user's hand to form the other half of the fulcrum whereby the fulcrum has a circular motion acting as a movable imaginary pivot, the center of this pivot floating up and down and side to side as the snow mover is used in a sweeping motion.
