ABSTRACT:
A thermal ice scraper includes a body portion, a blade portion, and a heatable material in the body portion that can heat the edges of the blade portion. The body and blade portions may be permanently or removably attached, and a conductive element may be included to aid in transferring heat to the edges of the blade portion. When in use, the body portion is heated in a microwave oven, causing the heatable material to become hot. This heat is then transferred to the edges of the blade portion. The thermal ice scraper is held in a hand and used to scrape a smooth surface, such as an automobile windshield. The blade portion allows multi-directional usage of the scraper, and the heat along the edges of the blade portion facilitates the removal of frost, ice, or snow. The body portion comfortably accommodates the hand.
