Abstract
A tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off system includes a tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly having a downwardly-tapered front surface having a front top portion including an upwardly-curved lip, and at least one aperture, a front central portion having a digit-contoured indented center having at least one light, and a tapered front bottom portion having at least one front-side tapered blade; and a downwardly-tapered back surface having a back top portion, a back central portion, and a tapered back bottom portion having at least one back-side tapered blade.
Claims19
A tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off system comprising:
- a tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly having,
- a downwardly-tapered front surface having,
- a front top portion having
- an upwardly-curved lip,
- a front central portion having,
- a digit-contoured indented center, and
- a tapered front bottom portion having,
- at least one front-side tapered blade;
- and
- a downwardly-tapered back surface having,
- a back top portion,
- a back central portion, and
- a tapered back bottom portion having,
- at least one back-side tapered blade;
- wherein said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off system comprises said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly;
- wherein said downwardly-tapered front surface and said downwardly-tapered back surface comprise said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly;
- wherein said downwardly-tapered front surface is mated to said downwardly-tapered back surface via injection molding;
- wherein said front top portion, said front central portion, and said tapered front bottom portion comprise said downwardly-tapered front surface;
- wherein said back top portion, said back central portion, and said tapered back bottom portion comprise said downwardly-tapered back surface;
- wherein said at least one front-side tapered blade is integral to said at least one back-side tapered blade thereby forming said tapered blade;
- wherein said tapered blade when engaged with said lottery ticket scratch-off removes at least one opaque film thereby revealing if a prize is won;
- wherein said digit-contoured indented center provides a region for said digit of a user-scratcher to grasp said tool for scratching lottery tickets system, thereby preventing unwanted displacement while in an in-use condition;
- and
- wherein said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly is structured and arranged for quickly and cleanly scratching off said opaque film on scratch-off said lottery tickets.

- a downwardly-tapered front surface having,
- a front top portion having
- an upwardly-curved lip, and
- at least one aperture;
- a front central portion having,
- a digit-contoured indented center having at least one light, and
- a tapered front bottom portion having,
- at least one front-side tapered blade;
- and
- a downwardly-tapered back surface having,
- a back top portion,
- a back central portion, and
- a tapered back bottom portion having,
- at least one back-side tapered blade;
- wherein said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off system comprises said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly;
- wherein said downwardly-tapered front surface and said downwardly-tapered back surface comprise said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly;
- wherein said downwardly-tapered front surface is mated to said downwardly-tapered back surface via injection molding;
- wherein said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly comprises an injection-molded thermoplastic polymer to provide strength, durability, and lack of deformability;
- wherein said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly is approximately 1¾ inches in height;
- wherein said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly is approximately ⅞ inches in width;
- wherein said tapered back bottom portion having said tapered blade of said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly is approximately ⅜ inches in thickness;
- wherein said front top portion, said front central portion, and said tapered front bottom portion comprise said downwardly-tapered front surface;
- wherein of said at least one aperture located on said front top portion is centrally located along an upper edge of said top portion;
- where said aperture acts as a keychain aperture for inserting a ball-clasp chain through said aperture thereby removably-coupling said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly to a keychain of a user-scratcher so as to have access to said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly thereby preventing unwanted displacement of said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly;
- wherein said digit-contoured indented center provides a region for said digit of a user-scratcher to grasp said tool for scratching lottery tickets system, thereby preventing unwanted displacement while in an in-use condition;
- wherein said digit-contoured indented center is deformable;
- wherein said light comprises at least one LED;
- wherein said LED light is activated by compressing said deformable said digit-contoured indented center;
- wherein said LED light is powered via at least one battery;
- wherein said at least one battery comprises a long-life, internal lithium-ion pill-type battery;
- wherein said light when activated by compressing said digit-contoured indented center illuminates a keyhole on a doorknob when user-scratcher removably-couples said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly to said keychain;
- wherein said back top portion, said back central portion, and said tapered back bottom portion comprise said downwardly-tapered back surface;
- wherein said at least one light illuminates an area around said lottery scratch off ticket;
- wherein said at least one front-side tapered blade is integral to said at least one back-side tapered blade thereby forming said tapered blade;
- wherein said tapered blade when engaged with said lottery ticket scratch-off removes at least one opaque film thereby revealing if a prize is won;
- wherein said opaque film comprises latex;
- and
- wherein said tool for scratching a lottery ticket scratch-off assembly is structured and arranged for quickly and cleanly scratching off said opaque film on scratch-off said lottery tickets.
