Patent attributes
A granular material manipulation device may include an upper handle and a lower handle. One or more upper arms may be coupled to the upper handle so that the upper arms may extend away from the upper handle. One or more lower arms may be coupled to the lower handle so that the lower arms may extend away from the lower handle. A positioning pivot may be configured to enable the device to be movable between a first and a second position. The lower arms may be positioned relatively closer to the upper arms in the first position, and the lower arms may be positioned relatively farther from the upper arms in the second position. Preferably, the device may be biased to the first position. A plate may be pivotally coupled to the first upper arm and/or to the second upper arm via one or more plate pivots.
