SnowMover® to the Rescue
Winter can be lovely, except when you find it all over your car. Now, the new SnowMover® personal snow plow makes it much easier to do the right thing.
Havertown, Penn. (PRWEB) February 4, 2009 -- You've seen them on the road. Drivers peering through a peephole cut in the snow and ice, shedding wintry debris in their wake. These reckless drivers are a danger to themselves as well as a risk to the lives of the motorists and pedestrians who have to swerve to avoid them.
"It's cold, the kids are complaining or you're running late for an appointment. There's no end to excuses for wanting to avoid the loathsome task of clearing snow from your vehicle", says Marvin Weinberger, Inventor-in-Chief of the Innovation Factory.
And yet, driving in a vehicle covered with snow is not only dangerous, it's against the law. Even in the states where there aren't explicit statutes, police may ticket drivers for violations such as 'the impeded operation of a motor vehicle', 'reckless endangerment' or even a charge of 'transporting an unsecured load' (of snow). Fines can run to the hundreds of dollars.
"So why do they risk it? Because, snow is heavy and can be hard to get at", says Weinberger.
"A six inch snowfall, covering for example a Honda Civic, weighs in at between 260 pounds (for average snow) all the way up to a thousand pounds (for the kind of sticky snow that makes for good snowballs) To tackle this kind of hard work, you need more than a flimsy brush (or your coat sleeve). What's worst is trying to get the snow off of the roof (before it slumps onto the windshield when you put on the brakes, assuming it hasn't already bombarded the car behind you)", Weinberger concludes.
Finally, there's a better way to clear the snow. The SnowMover®, from the Innovation Factory, is a unique, personal snow plow - scientifically designed for removing deep snow from on and around your vehicle. This professional grade multi-tool combines a bi-directional plow and heavy-duty snow broom along with an ice scraper and even an emergency shovel.
The SnowMover® is ergonomically designed and includes a contoured saw-grip handle and 42 inch reach. This makes for easy maneuvering when clearing snow from the roof of the vehicle. The SnowMover® even has 'whiskers' - dense rubber bristles, located under the forward lip of the plow - which help protect the paint and surface finish of your vehicle when clearing snow. These flexible bristles also allow the SnowMover® to ride over any irregular surfaces (such as a roof rack) in order to prevent a jarring stop when plowing through deep snow.
The SnowMover® is the new companion to the Innovation Factory's highly regarded IceDozer®. With its patented FlexiBlade™ (which automatically adjusts to the curvature of any windshield), ergonomic grip and triple attack surfaces, the scientifically designed IceDozer® makes quick work of even the toughest windshield ice.
Also available is the top-of-the-line IceDozer® Plus, which incorporates a detachable multi-tool called the PocketDozer™. Features include a brush with plush bristles as well as a scraping blade (for tackling hard-to-clear areas such as the side mirrors and headlamps). The PocketDozer™ also incorporates the IceNotch™ for clearing ice chunks from off of the windshield wipers.
All Innovation Factory products are made in the U.S.A. and built to last. These premium tools are so durable that they come with a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee - unmatched in the industry.
Isn't it time you took some of the 'excitement' out of winter driving?

Innovation Factory Bucks the Trend
Good value and good for the environment, so why not buy American?
Havertown, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) October 27, 2008 -- Consider the common windshield ice scraper. What probably comes to mind is the image of a commodity-type product: inexpensive but only so-so effective and needing frequent replacement, cheaply mass-produced offshore. The archetypical throwaway plastic product from the age of plenty.
Nothing about the Innovation Factory's IceDozer® fits this mold.
"We've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop and manufacture a premium product, and we're making it right here in America," says Marvin Weinberger, Inventor-in-Chief of the privately held Innovation Factory.
"We could save 50% or more by manufacturing in China or another offshore location,'' Marvin continues, ''but our U.S. suppliers provide us parts of exceptional quality with a quick turnaround. In fact, the IceDozer has been designed and tested to be so durable that it comes with a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee, unprecedented in the industry. Once a consumer buys the IceDozer, they'll never have to buy another ice scraper.
"We have found that customers are willing to pay a one-time premium for a superior product that gets the job done and really lasts. Hence the slogan for our new ad campaign: 'Got Winter? Work Smart!'.
"By manufacturing within the U.S., we reduce greenhouse gas emissions through eliminating the need for transporting products from overseas. And because our products don't need constant replacement, we're saving on the energy of manufacturing as well as conserving the hydrocarbons from which plastic is made. Of course, we're only too glad to help reduce the mountain of broken ice scrapers (from other manufacturers) that end up cluttering landfills each year.
"We're just about to expand IceDozer production at a newly contracted manufacturing site in southern Ohio. This will be in addition to the work being done here in Pennsylvania. Our distribution is handled through facilities in Kentucky and New Jersey while we have ongoing research and development involving contractors in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Indiana, Michigan and California. I guess you can say that we're doing our part to help spread the wealth around," concludes Weinberger.
Winter can be lovely, except when you find it all over your windshield. Sure, common sense tells you that you need complete visibility, but it's cold, the kids are complaining or you're running late for an important appointment. There's no end to excuses for wanting to avoid the loathsome task of scraping ice and snow from the windshield.
That's why the IceDozer was invented. With its patented FlexiBlade™ (which automatically adjusts to the curvature of any windshield), ergonomic grip and triple attack surfaces, the scientifically designed IceDozer® makes quick work of windshield ice.
Also available is the top-of-the-line IceDozer Plus. This product incorporates a detachable multi-tool called the PocketDozer™. Features include a brush with plush bristles as well as a scraping blade for tackling hard-to-clear areas such as the side mirrors and headlamps. The PocketDozer also incorporates a special notch for clearing ice chunks off of the windshield wipers.
The IceDozer and IceDozer Plus can be purchased online at www.innovationfactory.com; shipping is always free when ordering two or more of these products. The IceDozer is also available at select retail stores, including Bed, Bath & Beyond.

First Ice Scraper Built to Last Forever

Tenderizing Not Just for Tough Meat; 'Secret' to Clearing Windshield Ice Revealed
The ergonomically safe IceDozer® combines the power design of heavy machinery, the principles of food tenderizing and the technology of bendable plastic to scrape away the toughest ice from any car windshield, helping to make winter driving safer. FREE SAMPLES of the IceDozer are available to professional journalists by contacting Marvin Weinberger at the Innovation Factory. Marvin is also the contact for obtaining high resolution images as well as links to product videos and animations.
Havertown, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) January 3, 2008 -- Safe winter driving practices demand that drivers have complete visibility. That means scraping ice, a task which, according to at least one consumer study, is almost universally hated by drivers. The IceDozer®, a unique, powerful and ergonomically safe ice scraper, combines a flexible blade with special tenderizing teeth to make clearing ice from your automobile a quick and simple task instead of a loathsome chore. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently issued Utility Patent #7249393 in recognition of the high-tech design of the IceDozer. The IceDozer is also protected under Design Patent #D460589.
The scientifically designed IceDozer advances scraper technology with its FlexiBlade™, which automatically adjusts to the curvature of any windshield, clearing a much wider swath of visibility with each pass.
The IceDozer's multiple 'attack surfaces' won't scratch glass, yet can tackle even the thickest ice. A front 'snowplow' pushes snow and ice away from the hands while the ergonomic PowerGrip™ design amplifies the natural strength and motion of the upper body. The American made IceDozer has been carefully tested for durability and is backed by a lifetime warranty - a guarantee unmatched by any competitor.
The IceDozer is designed with three attack surfaces to scrape away the different types of ice buildup. The FrostPeeler™ Blade quickly peels away annoying morning frost. While the forward facing IceBreaker™ Teeth provide a cracking force (like the prow of a ship) to plow through thicker ice. Last, but not least, the Tenderizer™ Teeth are used to create fissures in really thick ice and then used to rip apart the broken debris.
"We set out to find the Achilles Heel of ice, and then to build an ice scraper that could take advantage of that vulnerability to make clearing ice easier, and winter driving safer," said Marvin Weinberger, Inventor-in-Chief of the Innovation Factory, LLC (which manufactures and distributes the IceDozer). "We found that brittleness is ice's weak point. Even really thick ice has fault lines. The IceDozer exploits them through the use of the Tenderizer ™ Teeth."
"A really thick ice buildup on your car, like that caused by freezing rain, can weigh hundreds of pounds," said Weinberger. "Add to this the powerful adhesion with which this ice can stick to the windshield and you realize that resistance is futile (at least if you're working with the typical flimsy ice scraper). Instead, the thing to do is to 'tenderize' the frozen surface, like you were softening up a piece of tough meat. Just grasp the IceDozer in the recommended Power Grip™ and proceed to tap sharply downward onto the ice. This creates hairline fractures along the fault lines, breaking up the ice while disrupting its adhesive grip on the windshield. The more time you spend tenderizing, the easier it will be to rip the ice from the surface of the glass, hence our motto: 'Don't Work Hard, Work Smart'." So go ahead and take out your frustrations attacking the ice with the Tenderizer Teeth™; you won't harm the windshield and you might even have some fun.
Besides introducing effective technologies for clearing ice, the IceDozer is also ergonomically safe. The two-fisted PowerGrip™, modeled after a carpenter's wood plane, utilizes the natural strength and motion of the upper body - instead of a person's wrists - to attack the ice.
Also available is the IceDozer Plus, which features a small, detachable scraper and brush multi-tool called the PocketDozer™. The PocketDozer is intended for clearing ice from small areas such as side mirrors. This handy tool also incorporates the IceNotch™, which is designed specifically to clear ice chunks off of the windshield wipers.
The IceDozer and IceDozer Plus can be purchased online at www.innovationfactory.com. Shipping is free when ordering two or more products. Other resellers include Amazon.com and the Herrington Catalog. The IceDozer Classic retails for $17.95 (MSRP), while the IceDozer Plus retails for $19.95 (MSRP). Both are made in the U.S.A. and make unique and practical gifts. Every IceDozer comes with a lifetime warranty; consumers will never have to buy another ice scraper.
