Abstract
A circular windshield ice scraper for scraping ice and frost off of the windshield and windows of a vehicle. The circular windshield ice scraper includes a scraping blade has a top face, a generally frusta-conical perimeter side, and a downwardly facing concave bottom face. The perimeter side and the bottom face of the scraping blade form a generally circular lower scraping edge designed for scraping ice off of a surface. The ice scraper also includes a body coupled to the scraping blade. The body has a generally frusta-conical lower portion and an upper portion. The upper portion is designed for grasping by a user's hand.
Claims11
An ice scraper, comprising:
- a scraping blade having a top face, a generally frusta-conical perimeter side, and a downwardly facing concave bottom face;
- said perimeter side and said bottom face of said scraping blade forming a generally circular lower scraping edge adapted for scraping ice off of a surface;
- a body coupled to said scraping blade;
- said body having a generally frusta-conical lower portion and an upper portion, said upper portion being adapted for grasping by a user's hand;
- wherein said upper portion of said body has a resiliently deformable outer coating.
An ice scraper, comprising:
- a scraping blade having a top face, a generally frusta-conical perimeter side, and a downwardly facing concave bottom face;
- said perimeter side and said bottom face of said scraping blade forming a generally circular lower scraping edge adapted for scraping ice off of a surface;
- said perimeter side of said scraping blade being extended at a first acute angle to a plane in which said lower scraping edge of said scraping blade lies;
- a body coupled to said scraping blade;
- said body having a generally frusta-conical lower portion and an upper portion;
- said lower portion of said body having a generally frusta-conical perimeter side and a generally circular substantially planar lower face;
- said lower face of said lower portion being coupled to said top face of said scraping blade to coupled said body to said scraping blade;
- said perimeter side of said lower portion of said body being extended at a second acute angle to a plane in which said lower face of said lower portion of said body lies;
- said first acute angle being greater than said second acute angle;
- said upper portion of said body having a knob region and a constricted region interposed between said knob region and said lower portion of said body;
- said constricted region of said upper portion having an outer diameter less than an outer diameter of said knob region;
- said constricted region having an inner most diameter less than an outer diameter of a top end of said perimeter of said lower portion;
- said constricted region having a concave annular side therearound;
- said knob region having a convex rounded side therearound and a convex rounded upper face continuous with said rounded side of said knob region;
- said annular side of said constricted region and said rounded side of said knob region having substantially equal radii of curvature;
- and
- said upper portion of said body having a resiliently deformable outer coating covering said knob and constricted regions.
An ice scraper, comprising:
- a scraping blade having a top, a bottom, and a generally frusta-conical perimeter side extending between said top and bottom, said scraping blade having a downwardly facing concave bottom face, said perimeter side and said bottom face of said scraping blade forming a generally circular lower scraping edge adapted for scraping ice off of a surface;
- and
- a body coupled to said scraping blade, said body having a lower portion and an upper portion, said upper portion being generally bulbous for grasping by a user's hand;
- wherein said upper portion of said body has a resiliently deformable outer coating.
