Abstract
An improved scraping tool has a pivoting scraping blade. The top of the blade holder has an axis parallel to the blade edge and it is pivotally attached under a support arm which is an angled extension of a grasping handle. The blade holder swivels freely within pre-determined limits on the angled handle extension to obtain an optimum working angle. The pivoting blade permits the handle to be angled away from the working surface.
Claims5
A scraping tool comprising:
- an elongate handle having an axially mounted connecting rod extending from one end;
- a support arm coupled to said connecting rod at an angle, which forms an angled extension of said handle;
- a pivotable holding member for holding a blade having a scraping edge;
- a scraping blade mounted in the holding member having a scraping edge which is pivotable with said holding member to a position in which the scraping edge is aligned parallel to said support arm;
- dowel means forming a pivotal connection between said support arm and said holding member about a pivot axis so that said scraping edge may be aligned with said support arm and may be swiveled about said pivotal connection to be angled with respect to said support arm;
- and
- means for limiting the pivotal movement of said holding member relative to said support arm.
