A push type snow scoop adapted for faster and easier removal of snow from sidewalks, driveways and the like without the need for manual lifting. The scoop includes a stamped, one-piece metal body having a relatively lightweight, rigid construction which facilitates shearing of snow from the surface to be cleaned and the easy ejection of snow from the scoop. The body of the illustrated scoop is formed with an outwardly extending coplanar flange about its outer periphery that is disposed at an acute angle to the surface to be cleared. The leading edge of the scoop is formed by a short flange parallel to the bottom of the scoop which facilitates movement of the scoop over even rough or uneven surfaces and gives further rigidity to the expanse of metal.

A scoop for clearing snow from surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways and the like comprising a one-piece stamped body formed with a bottom panel, rear panel and side panels connecting said rear and bottom panels to form a snow receiving area, a generally U-shaped handle formed with a pair of legs, means connecting said handle legs to said side panels whereby manual pushing of said handle imparts horizontal movement to said body along the surface to be cleared, said bottom panel being formed with a forwardly extending reinforcing flange along its forward end, said side panels being formed with flat, outwardly extending reinforcing flanges along their upper edges which extend forwardly to join with said reinforcing flange for said bottom panel, said reinforcing flanges being in a common plane disposed at an angle of between 15°and 30°to said bottom panel and the surface to be cleared for increasing the rigidity of said body and facilitating shearing of snow from said surface, and said flange for said bottom panel extending forwardly from said bottom panel and terminating with a flange that is parallel and slightly below the plane of said bottom panel to form a leading edge of said scoop body.
