Abstract
The present invention is directed to a flexible device for moving flowable materials including liquids, powders, pellets and the like. The invention has a thin edge of sufficient flexibility to conform to different surface irregularities and yet has sufficient stiffness to exert substantial force on the material being moved. An additional feature is an integral handle enabling ease of storage.
Claims2
A monolithic device, being the same material throughout, said device comprising a body having a top and a bottom, two sides, a front and a back, wherein said bottom opposes said top, said body having a handle at said top and a flexible straight edge at said bottom, said handle being directly above said flexible straight edge, wherein said monolithic body further comprises at least one thickened section above and parallel to said flexible straight edge to provide rigidity, and wherein said handle further comprises a hook.
