Grill cleaning tool

A grill cleaning tool for use when scraping a surface of a grill grate, the tool comprising:

• an elongated shaft having a proximal end portion capable of being grasped by a user for use of the tool and a distal end portion opposite the proximal end portion;
• and
• means associated with the distal end portion defining a plurality of cutting edges disposed in linear registry with one another so that by moving the distal end portion along the length of a surface of a grill grate, each of the plurality of cutting edges is guided in scraping engagement with the surface;
• and
• the associated means includes a plurality of substantially planar cutting members attached to the distal end portion of the shaft in a substantially parallel and spaced relationship to one another and each arranged generally normal to the axis of the shaft, the planar cutting members having edges which provide the cutting edges of the associated means and each cutting member being of a different size from every other cutting member of the cutting members and wherein the cutting members are arranged along the distal end portion from the smaller to the larger as a path is traced therealong in a direction toward the proximal end portion, each of cutting members including a plurality of cutting edges arranged about the periphery thereof and the plurality of cutting edges of each respective cutting member being different in shape or size from the shape or size of the other cutting edges thereof, the cutting edges of each cutting member having an associated cutting edge defined by the other cutting members which is identical with the shape thereof and so as to define a set of substantially identical cutting edges, the cutting edges of each set being in substantially linear registry with one another so that each of the cutting edges within each set can be placed in simultaneous engagement with and guided along the surface of a grill grate in scraping engagement therewith.
