| Abstract: |
A snow removal device for rapidly removing large amounts of snow from the top surfaces of an automobile. The snow removal device includes a mitt element that receives a person's hand and a portion of the arm to a point in between the elbow and the shoulder. The mitt element is affixed to the rear surface of a plow structure, wherein the mitt element retains the hand so that the palm of the hand faces the rear surface of the plow structure. The mitt element and the plow structure combine to retain a person's arm in a manner that prevents the arm from bending at the elbow. The plow structure has a substantially planar front surface that displaces snow as it moves across the top surfaces of an automobile. The bottom of the plow structure is configured so that is can conform to the changing contours of the automobile without scratching any finished surface that the plow structure may encounter.
