ABSTRACT:
The object of the invention is to provide a shovel blade attachment having both a brush and a cutter secured to the shovel blade by a common attaching assembly. Modifications of the shovel blade, such as drilled holes, are not required. Any conventional snow shovel can be readily converted into a shoveling, brushing, and cutting implement by employing the attachment of the invention.
Said attachment (1) is secured to the shovel blade (2). Said attachment (1) includes a brush (3), a cutter (4), and an attaching assembly (5). The cutter (4) has slots (12) or (13) for adjusting the exposure of the cutter (4) in contact with the shovel blade (2) in order that the shovel blade (2) absorb impact forces.
Compression pads (9) help secure the attachment (1) to the shovel blade (2) and provide clearance (19) between a clamping plate (8) and an upturned end (20) of the shovel blade (2). Pads (9) also provide clearance (21) between the brush (3) and a shovel blade indentation (22) and clearance (23) between the brush (3) and a handle (17).
A portion of clamping plate (8) may be sharpened into a cutting edge (27). A cutter (4) may be attached to the brush (3) in order that the brush (3) absorb impact forces.
