Abstract
The invention pertains to a novel scraper assembly having a plurality of interchangeable scraper heads and handles and corresponding method for use. The scraper assembly further comprises a plurality of abrasive mechanisms, namely spring bristles, coiled springs, chainmail abraders and wire cloth abraders capable of effectively cleaning a surface without scoring or otherwise damaging the surface. The invention may be particularly useful for cleaning grills and ovens. Additionally, the invention may also be useful for shaping, adding texture to, stripping materials from or otherwise preparing a surface, including wood, metal or ceramic surfaces.
Claims20
A scraper for use in abrading a surface, comprising:
- a scraper head including:
- a chainmail abrader having a chainmail body including a plurality of interlinked rings;
- and
- elastic back pressure member positioned adjacent to a working surface of said chainmail body configured to apply pressure against the chainmail body to enable the working surface of the chainmail body and elastic back pressure member to resiliently conform to contours of the surface during scraping, wherein the working surface of the chainmail body and the elastic back pressure member are free to move independent of one another.
A scraper for use in abrading a surface, comprising:
- a scraper head including:
- a chainmail abrader having a chainmail body including a plurality of interlinked rings;
- and
- a flexible resilient body positioned adjacent to said chainmail body configured to apply pressure against the chainmail body to enable the chainmail body and flexible resilient body to resiliently conform to contours of the surface during scraping,
- wherein the chainmail body forms an enclosure substantially enclosing the flexible resilient body to retain the flexible resilient body, and wherein the flexible resilient body is free to independently move with respect to the chainmail body.
A scraper for use in abrading a surface comprising:
- a chainmail body comprising a plurality of interlocked rings;
- and
- a back pressure member positioned adjacent to a working surface of the chainmail body, wherein the back pressure member directs pressure against the chainmail body, thereby conforming the chainmail body to contours of the surface,
- wherein the back pressure member comprises a resilient, substantially water resistant, silicone structure.
