Abstract
A scraping apparatus (350), which secures to a wand (142) of a pressure sprayer. The scraping apparatus (350) includes a scraping blade (120), which is fastened to a spacing block (352). The assembly is secured to the wand (142) via a clamping mechanism (354). The clamping mechanism (354) can be of a quick release design. The rotating blade (152) can be pivotally assembled to the block (352) and held in position by any of a variety of designs.
Claims14
A scraping apparatus assembly for use with a pressure cleaning wand having a nozzle for emitting a fluid to remove debris from a planar work surface, the scraping apparatus assembly comprising:
- a scraping blade is fabricated of a planar material having at least one blade edge provided along a distal end thereof and a planar mounting section located proximate an opposite proximal end thereof;
- a scraping apparatus spacer block having a wand-engaging surface provided along one surface of the scraping apparatus spacer block and a planar blade-engaging receiving surface provided on a side opposite the wand-engaging surface, wherein the scraping apparatus spacer block provides a distance between the wand-engaging surface and the blade receiving surface for maintaining the wand and the scraping blade in spaced-apart relationship to one another;
- wherein the scraping blade planar-mounting section is assembled to the planar blade-engaging receiving surface orienting, thereby the scraping blade distal end blade edge opposite the planar mounting section, in a manner extending said blade edge beyond and forward of the scraping apparatus space block such that, during use, a bottom surface of the scraping blade distal end is unencumbered by any structure between said bottom surface and said work surface;
- and
- at least one nozzle securing clamp providing a clamping force between a surface of the respective nozzle securing clamp and the pipe engaging surface of the spacer block;
- wherein, during use, the spacer block maintains the planar blade between the wand nozzle and the planar work surface.
A scraping apparatus assembly for use with a pressure cleaning assembly comprising a pressure cleaning wand and a nozzle for emitting a fluid to remove debris from a planar work surface, the scraping apparatus assembly comprising:
- a scraping blade fabricated of a planar material having a blade edge formed along one end thereof and a planar mounting section located proximate an opposite end thereof;
- and
- a scraping apparatus spacer block having a pipe connection section provided along an upper portion of the scraping apparatus spacer block and a planar blade-engaging receiving surface provided on a lower portion of the scraping apparatus spacer block, wherein the scraping apparatus spacer block provides a spatial arrangement between the pipe connection section and the planar blade receiving surface for maintaining the wand and the scraping blade in spaced-apart relationship to one another;
- wherein the scraping blade planar-mounting section is assembled to the planar blade-engaging receiving surface orienting the blade edge opposite the planar mounting section extending forward from the scraping apparatus space block such that, during use, a bottom surface of a scraping blade distal end is unencumbered by any structure between said bottom surface and said work surface;
- wherein the pipe connection section is configured to connected with the pressure cleaning assembly;
- wherein, during use, the spacer block maintains the planar blade between the wand nozzle and the planar work surface and wherein the scraping blade further comprises a first blade edge and a second blade edge, wherein the second blade edge is formed at an end opposite the first blade edge.
A scraping apparatus assembly for use with a pressure cleaning assembly comprising a pressure cleaning wand and a nozzle for emitting a fluid to remove debris from a planar work surface, the scraping apparatus assembly comprising:
- a scraping blade fabricated of a planar material having a blade edge formed along one end thereof and a planar mounting section located proximate an opposite end thereof;
- a scraping apparatus spacer block having a pipe connection section provided along an upper portion of the scraping apparatus spacer block and a planar blade-engaging receiving surface provided on a lower portion of the scraping apparatus spacer block, wherein the scraping apparatus spacer block provides a spatial arrangement between the pipe connection section and the blade receiving surface for maintaining the wand and the scraping blade in spaced-apart relationship to one another, the pipe connection section comprising a tubular shape;
- wherein the scraping blade planar-mounting section is assembled to the planar blade-engaging receiving surface orienting the blade edge opposite the planar mounting section extending forward from a scraping apparatus space block such that, during use, a bottom surface of the scraping blade distal end is unencumbered by any structure between said bottom surface and said work surface;
- and
- a pressure cleaning nozzle assembly, the pressure cleaning nozzle assembly comprising a spray nozzle located at a distal end of an extension pipe, wherein the extension pipe and the pipe connection section are removably assembled together;
- wherein, during use, the spacer block maintains the planar blade between the wand nozzle and the planar work surface wherein the planar material further comprises a first blade edge, and a second blade edge, the second blade edge is formed at an end opposite the first blade edge.
