5989356 - Apparatus for removing snow from motor vehicle roofs

An apparatus for removing snow accumulation from motor vehicle roofs. The snow scraping apparatus has a scraping assembly adapted to remove snow from a motor vehicle roof and including a scraping member being horizontally oriented. The snow scraping apparatus also has a supporting assembly for holding the scraping assembly in an elevated position so that the motor vehicle can pass beneath the scraping member without interference. The scraping member is elevated from the ground by a height that is substantially the same as or slightly greater than that of the motor vehicle roof. As a result, the scraping member can remove snow accumulation from the motor vehicle roof as the motor vehicle passes beneath the scraping assembly. If desired, the scraping assembly can be a rotatable brushing member for removal of snow accumulation by tossing or throwing the snow away from the vehicle roof.
