Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A device for removing snow and ice from a windshield, comprising a rigid two-part handle--a first part embodying an elongate handgrip, said first part having at an end opening bounded by an end face, a second part embodying a blade, said second part being structured to be inserted into the opening in the first part and a mitt positioned about the handle and secured thereto at a position thereon to cover the handgrip and to leave the beveled blade exposed, said mitt containing at one end an opening for receiving the handle, said opening at said one end of the mitt being so dimensioned that the insertion of the second part into the opening in the first part anchors the material of the mitt bounding said opening at said one end of the mitt against said end face and said mitt at the other end defining an opening sufficiently large to admit a gloved or ungloved hand for grasping the handgrip.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
161 words
A device for removing snow and ice from a windshield, comprising a rigid two-part handle--a first part embodying an elongate handgrip, said first part having at an end opening bounded by an end face, a second part embodying a blade, said second part being structured to be inserted into the opening in the first part and a mitt positioned about the handle and secured thereto at a position thereon to cover the handgrip and to leave the beveled blade exposed, said mitt containing at one end an opening for receiving the handle, said opening at said one end of the mitt being so dimensioned that the insertion of the second part into the opening in the first part anchors the material of the mitt bounding said opening at said one end of the mitt against said end face and said mitt at the other end defining an opening sufficiently large to admit a gloved or ungloved hand for grasping the handgrip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein the opening in the first part is tapered and the second part is correspondingly tapered to be telescopically received within the opening in the first part and wherein the taper of the second part expands the opening at the end of the mitt into engagement with said end face.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein the parts embody interengageable locking means structured to anchor the material marginally of the opening in the mitt within the opening at the end of the first part.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
71 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein the handle is comprised of telescoping outer and inner parts with the blade at the end of the inner part and the handgrip at the end of the outer part and wherein the material about the opening at the one end of the mitt is folded over the end and into the outer part between the telescoping portions of the inner and outer parts.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein the mitt has front and back sides and a pocket at the back side.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
116 words
A device for removing snow and ice from a windshield comprising a rigid, elongate handle, means defining a scraper blade at one end, means defining a hand grip at the other end, a mitt positioned about the handle to cover the hand grip and to leave the scraper exposed, said mitt containing at one end an opening for receiving the handle and at the other end an opening for receiving the hand, a shoulder on the handle within the mitt adjacent the one end of larger size than the opening therein and means forwardly of the shoulder externally of said end for holding the marginal edge of the mitt bounding the opening engaged with the shoulder.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
116 words
A device for removing snow and ice from a windshield comprising a rigid, elongate handle, means defining a scraper blade at one end, means defining a hand grip at the other end, a mitt positioned about the handle to cover the hand grip and to leave the scraper exposed, said mitt containing at one end an opening for receiving the handle and at the other end an opening for receiving the hand, a shoulder on the handle within the mitt adjacent the one end of larger size than the opening therein and means forwardly of the shoulder externally of said end for holding the marginal edge of the mitt bounding the opening engaged with the shoulder.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
A device according to claim 6 wherein said last means comprises diverging edge portions of the handle forwardly of the shoulder.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
68 words
A device according to claim 7 wherein the handle comprises two parts, a hand grip and a blade, wherein the hand grip contains an opening and the blade has a tapered shank telescopically fitted into said opening and wherein the end of the grip bounding the opening constitutes the shoulder and the tapered shank the means for holding the marginal edge of the mitt engaged with the shoulder.
