ABSTRACT:
A snow removal device including a blade having an increasing radius of curvature between the lateral ends of the blade. A planar lower edge contacts the underlying surface and increases in contact area between the blade ends. The snow blade further has a forwardly extending flange at one end thereof so as to bear against a vertical surface adjacent a path such as a curb, building, wall or the like. The blade design forwardly and laterally moves successively increasing amounts of snow during a straight line movement of the blade along the path as well as diverts snow from the vertical surface. The blade is engageable with various handle devices, including a mobile push-type assembly. The assembly includes a handle and blade brace mounted about a wheel axle. A latch maintains the handle in an operative position during use.
