Abstract

A scraper (24) combined with a brush (26) including a shaft (20) having a handle (22), a scraper (24) attached to the shaft (20), a brush (26) attached to the shaft (20), and an adjustment mechanism provided between the brush (26) and the shaft (20) for adjusting an angular position of the brush with respect to the shaft (40). The adjustment mechanism includes a spring (118) that biases the brush (26) towards the shaft (20) thereby engaging complementary and opposing protrusions and recesses (48) located on the brush (26) and the shaft (20). The adjustment mechanism further includes an actuator (130) that is configured to have a locked position, in which the protrusions and recesses (48) are engaged, and an unlocked position, in which the actuator forced the protrusions and the recesses (48) to disengage by moving the brush (26) away from the shaft (20).
