A scraper apparatus, comprising:
- a scraper blade;
- a scraper blade holder;
- wherein the scraper blade and the scraper blade holder are rotatable relative to one another about a pivot connection formable by the scraper blade and the scraper blade holder;
- wherein the scraper blade has at least one scraper blade fastener;
- wherein the scraper blade holder has at least one scraper blade holder fastener;
- wherein the at least one scraper blade fastener being located on an outer planar end surface of the scraper blade and operatively connectable to the at least one scraper blade holder fastener;
- and
- wherein the at least one scraper blade fastener is fastenable with the at least one scraper blade holder fastener into a releasable positive mechanical engagement via the scraper blade and/or the scraper blade holder being rotated relative to one another about the pivot connection to provide the releasable positive mechanical engagement, wherein the releasable positive mechanical engagement locks rotation of the scraper blade relative to the scraper blade holder.
A method of providing a scraper apparatus, comprising:
- obtaining a scraper blade, wherein the scraper blade has at least one scraper blade fastener;
- obtaining a scraper blade holder, wherein the scraper blade holder has at least one scraper blade holder fastener;
- wherein the scraper blade and the scraper blade holder are rotatable relative to one another about a pivot connection formable by the scraper blade and the scraper blade holder;
- wherein the at least one scraper blade fastener being located on an outer planar end surface of the scraper blade and operatively connectable to the at least one scraper blade holder fastener;
- and
- wherein the at least one scraper blade fastener is fastenable with the at least one scraper blade holder fastener into a releasable positive mechanical engagement via the scraper blade and/or the scraper blade holder being rotated relative to one another about the pivot connection to provide the releasable positive mechanical engagement, wherein the releasable positive mechanical engagement locks rotation of the scraper blade relative to the scraper blade holder.
