Abstract
A pivoting snowbrush for removing snow, ice, or debris from a surface, the pivoting snowbrush including an elongated handle, a brush, and a brush mount fixed to the handle and pivotally connected to the brush. The brush may be shiftable about the brush mount between a first orientation in which the brush extends generally parallel to the handle and a second orientation in which the brush extends generally perpendicular to the handle. The brush may include a brush body and a debris removal component attached to the brush body. The brush body may have a primary portion, a pivot extending from the primary portion, and an actuatable detent device integrally molded to the primary portion. The brush mount may rotatably connect to the pivot and may have features for selectively engaging with the detent device, thus selectively fixing the brush in the first orientation and/or the second orientation.
