Abstract
A scraper has an arcuately contoured elastomeric molded over plastic ergonomic handle. The scraper handle has a proximate end slot and recess. A permanent rare earth magnet is fixedly disposed at the bottom wall of the recess. A ferro-metallic file is slidably disposed and seated in the recess with the file contactingly engaging the magnet. The handle is formed with a vertically disposed through hole so that the user can access the file and forcibly slidably remove the file to sharpen the scraper blade edge. The scraper has a 4-way blade, formed with two spoon shaped blades for fine scraping and two flat folded edges for rough scraping. All four edges are ground to the same large radius. The scraper is a pull scraper.
Claims7
A scraper comprising:
- an elongated handle, said handle having a top and a bottom, and a distal end and a proximate end;
- a multiple edged blade, said blade having a body and at least one first blade being arcuate with respect to the body and having an arcuate ground edge and having at least one second blade being angled with respect to the body and having an arcuate ground edge;
- means for removably attaching said blade to said handle distal end;
- said handle having a longitudinal axis extending from the distal end to the proximate end, said longitudinal axis being arcuate;
- said handle proximate end comprising a grip for one hand;
- said handle having a upper enlarged distal portion for receiving the palm of the other hand;
- wherein the blade edges are disposed in a 17 to 23 inch radius, and wherein said first set of edges are spoon shaped and ground for fine scraping and said second set of edges being straight and flat and round to a 17 to 23 inch radius to scrape aggressively, to provide fine to coarse scraping operations.
A scraper comprising:
- an elongated handle, said handle having a distal end and a proximate end;
- a blade;
- means for attaching said blade to said handle;
- a file;
- said handle having walls forming a recess for slidably removably receiving said file, said walls surround said file;
- said handle proximate end being formed with a slot communicating with said recess, said slot being sized to slidably receive said file, and further comprising a magnet operably disposed in said handle recess to magnetically hold said file in said recess;
- and said handle being formed with a vertically disposed opening being sized so that a user's fingers can engage the file disposed within the handle recess to remove the file through the proximate end slot.
