Abstract
A fish scraping and sliming tool (10) for the removal of the bloodline (101) from the body cavity (103) of a fish (100); wherein, the tool comprises a handle unit (11) and a scraping head scraping edge (40) which are angularly offset from the axis of a handle extension member (30) by approximately the same angular value such that the axis of the users forearm will be angularly disposed at an angle of approximately 45.degree. relative to the axis of the handle unit (11) when the user grasps the handle unit in the neutral wrist position.
Claims5
A fish scraping and sliming tool for removing the membrane and bloodline from the body cavity of a fish;
- wherein the tool comprises
- a handle unit comprising an elongated handle member aligned along a first axis
- an extension unit comprising an elongated handle extension member substantially aligned along a second axis;
- wherein, said first axis is angularly offset from said second axis by an angle of approximately 45.degree.;
- and,
- a scraper head unit having a generally tapered outboard end dimensioned to be received in the body cavity surrounding said bloodline;
- wherein, said tapered outboard end is provided with a generally smooth continuous curvilinear scraping edge surface transversely aligned along an axial plane;
- wherein, said axial plane is angularly offset from said second axis by an angle of approximately 45.degree.;
- such that, when the users curled hand grasps the handle unit, the users wrist is disposed in a neutral position, and the users forearm is aligned along a fourth axis which is angularly offset from said first axis by an angle of approximately 40.degree.;
- so that the users wrist and forearm are ergonomically aligned for the push-pull motion of the tool which will sequentially rupture and then remove the membrane and bloodline from the body cavity of the fish.
