Snow push shovel with handle shaft insertable in blade sleeve - has blade facing handle shaft stop and flexible tongue on shaft support edge

摘要

The snow shovel consists of a shovel blade (1) and a shaft (2), which fits into a tapered sleeve (3) on the blade (1). The sleeve has downwards opening hooks (5) on each longitudinal edge, which engage in claws (6) on the blade. To prevent longitudinal movement separating the hooks (5) and claws (6), a flexible tongue (8), which normally lies inside the sleeve, is forced out on insertion of the shaft, and locates against a stop (7) on the shaft, facing the blade. ADVANTAGE - Firm seat of the shaft in the blade sleeve.
