Abstract
A snow-removal device includes a frame having a handle at one end and a blade at the other. The frame rests on the ground at the blade end, and a flexible sheet extends from the blade end back toward the handle end. The sheet is attached at either end but is free to bend lengthwise so that the length of the sheet resting on the ground varies as the handle is lifted. This arrangement permits the device to be emptied with a minimum of strain on the user.
