ABSTRACT:
A new lifting aid device for a shovel for helping a user to easily lift a shovel, in particular a shovel having an offset type handle. The inventive device includes a brace member with an elongate shaft portion and a rest portion. The mounting end of the shaft portion is mountable to a portion of an offset-type handle shaft of a shovel. The inner surface of the rest portion is designed for abutting a portion of a leg, such as a thigh, against it. The pivot end of the shaft portion is pivotally coupled to the outer surface of the rest portion at a midpoint between the upper and lower edges of the rest portion to allow proper pivoting of the rest portion during use.
