ABSTRACT:
A shovel having a blade and a handle pivotally mounted on the back of the blade with a mechanism for pivotally retaining the handle at various angles relative to the blade between an open and a closed position. A releasable locking mechanism is operable for releasing and relocking the blade relative to the handle at different relative angles between the open and closed positions. A spring bias drive is connected between the blade and the handle and is adapted for pivoting the blade under bias relative to the handle from the open position towards the closed position when the releasable locking mechanism is actuated or released.
