Abstract
A scraping tool for use with a paint sprayer assembly includes a scraping tool having a tool socket and a number of integral wrenches. In a preferred embodiment the scraping tool includes three cutouts for accommodating various sized nuts and a triangular protrusion extending from the scraping edge for scraping in tight spaces. A tool socket is provided near an end of the handle of the scraping tool for receiving various tool heads. In a most preferred embodiment, the scraper tool is designed for use in association with a particular paint spraying machine such that the scraper tool provides the necessary wrenches and tools for operating and maintaining the paint spraying machine.
Claims14
A scraping tool comprising:
- a substantially planar plate member, said plate member having a scraper portion and a handle portion;
- a number of cutouts along an outside surface of said scraper portion of said plate member, each of said cutouts being adapted to engage a nut;
- a handle coupled to said handle portion of said plate member;
- said handle portion of said plate member having an aperture positioned proximate a plate member end opposite said scraper surface;
- a pair of handle members coupled on either side of said handle portion;
- each of said handle portions having a hole aligned with said aperture in said handle portion;
- and
- a socket receptor positioned within a fastener, said fastener passing through each handle hole and said aperture, said socket receptor being adapted to receive a tool head.
A scraping tool for use with a paint spraying machine, said paint spraying machine being of the type having a tip assembly, a spray hose, and hose connectors, said scraping tool comprising:
- a substantially planar plate member, said plate member being rigid, said plate member having a scraper portion and a handle portion;
- said scraper portion having a first side surface, a second side surface and a scraping surface, said scraping surface extending between said first side surface and said second side surface, said scraper surface being beveled;
- said first side surface having a first region extending from said handle portion of said plate member, said first side surface further having a second region extending outwardly from said first region to form a generally triangular protrusion;
- said scraper portion having a first cutout, said first cutout having four first cutout sides, two of said first cutout sides being positioned substantially parallel to each other to define a first cutout space therebetween and being disposed from said first region of said first side surface of said scraper portion;
- said scraper portion having a second cutout, said second cutout having four second cutout sides, two of said second cutout sides being positioned substantially parallel to each other to define a second cutout space therebetween and being disposed from said second side surface of said scraper portion;
- said scraper portion having a third cutout, said third cutout having four third cutout sides, two of said third cutout sides being positioned substantially parallel to each other to define a third cutout space therebetween and being disposed from said second side surface of said scraper portion;
- said second cutout space being wider than said first cutout space;
- said third cutout space being wider than said second cutout space;
- said first cutout adapted to engage a nut of said hose connector;
- said second cutout being adapted to engage a nut of one of said hose connectors;
- said third cutout being adapted to engage a nut of said tip assembly;
- said handle portion of said plate member having an aperture positioned proximate a plate member end opposite said scraper surface;
- a pair of handle members coupled on either side of said handle portion;
- each of said handle members having a hole aligned with said aperture in said handle portion;
- a socket receptor positioned within a fastener, said fastener passing through each handle hole and said aperture, said socket receptor being adapted to receive a tool head.
