ABSTRACT:
A hand shovel having a first, fixed handle and a second, pivotal handle coacting to provide an improved loading and lifting action by eliminating the need for bending or stooping during shovelling. The fixed handle is attached at its forward end to a conventional shovel blade of the scoop or pusher type. The pivotal handle is mounted frontally of the fixed handle with its forward, lower end pivotally attached by pins to the sides of the shovel blade. The lower portion of the pivotal handle carries a generally rectangular plate constituting an extension of the shovel blade and co-acting therewith when the pivotal handle is in a forward operating position to facilitate loading of the shovel with a material such as snow and its subsequent transfer from a sidewalk, driveway or other surface or area.
