ABSTRACT:
An ice scraper for use in removing ice from vehicle windows is disclosed which includes a partially transparent, darkly-tinted body having a tapered distal scraping end. The distal scraping end may be inserted between a vehicle window and its molding to provide a shade or sunscreen for blocking bright light from a driver's eyes. Additionally, the dark tint of the body of the ice scraper helps the body absorb thermal radiation to maintain the body at higher-than-ambient temperatures. When the tapered distal scraping end of the scraper is run over an ice-covered surface, this thermal energy combines with the mechanical removal of ice to more effectively remove ice from the surface.
