Claims20
A steel handle shovel comprising:
- a shovel blade having a hollow tubular neck extending therefrom, the hollow tubular neck being curved at least in part;
- a long handle having a top end, an outer surface, an inner diameter, an outer diameter, and a bottom end being tubular, the bottom end of the long handle adapted to be coupled to the hollow tubular neck of the shovel blade;
- a coupling and reinforcement assembly that couples the bottom end of the long handle and the hollow tubular neck of the shovel blade comprising:
- a first connecting member having a first end and an opposite second end, the first end being linear and the opposite second end including a fold or a bend, a portion of the linear first end and the opposite second end of the first connecting member being sized to be inserted and fixed inside a bend of the hollow tubular neck of the shovel blade;
- a second connecting member having an inner diameter, the second connecting member being sized to be inserted and fitted inside the bottom end of the long handle;
- and
- a locking element that is fixed over an outer surface of a top end of the hollow tubular neck of the shovel blade, the locking element reinforcing the coupling between the bottom end of the long handle and the hollow tubular neck of the shovel blade,
- wherein the first connecting member is sized so that a portion of the linear first end is inserted and fitted inside the inner diameter of the second connecting member and the opposite second end is inserted inside the hollow tubular neck of the shovel blade.
