<p>A thermal ice scraper (100) includes a body portion (110), a blade portion (120), and a heatable material (150) in the body portion (110) that can heat the edges of the blade portion (120). The body (110) and blade portions (120) may be permanently or removably attached, and a conductive element (230) may be included to aid in transferring heat to the edges of the blade portion (120). When in use, the body portion (110) is heated in a microwave oven, causing the heatable material (150) to become hot. This heat is then transferred to the edges of the blade portion (110). The thermal ice scraper (100) is held in a hand and used to scrape a smooth surface, such as an automobile windshield. The blade portion (120) allows multi-directional usage of the scraper (100), and the heat along the edges of the blade portion (120) facilitates the removal of frost, ice, or snow. The body portion (110) comfortably accommodates the hand.</p> |
