Description
- 1. The Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a hand held scraper which utilizes suction from a vacuum to remove dust and debris generated while scraping.
- 2. State of the Art
- Hand-held scrapers are often used for removal of material from a surface. For example, scrapers may be used to remove material to shape a surface, to remove glue or foreign substances from a surface, to clean a surface, etc. Scrapers typically have a handle and a metal blade which is held roughly perpendicular or at an angle to the surface for use, and which scrapes material from the surface as the scraper is moved back and forth across the surface.
- One drawback of using a scraper is that the material removed while scraping (dust, chips, shavings, etc.) typically remains on the surface or falls to the floor, bench, etc. Material which remains on the surface makes it difficult for the operator to see the item being scraped, and is often thrown about by subsequent scraping. The material then often ends up on the work bench, floor, etc. where it must be later removed. Often, the material removed while scraping falls on carpet or in crevices where it is difficult to remove. In many situations, such as cleaning a wall or fireplace in a finished house, it is particularly desirable to remove all of the dust and material generated while scraping without the material falling on carpet or other finished surfaces.
- An attempt has been made to collect the material removed while scraping by combining a vacuum suction handle with a scraper blade, as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,292. While an improvement, the device only removes the dust, etc. from one side of the scraper blade. Scrapers are commonly used in both directions, creating dust on both sides of the blade. Dust and the like which is not removed from one side of the blade will typically be pushed about by that side of the blade and create a mess.
- There is thus a need for a scraper which overcomes the limitations of available scrapers. Specifically, there is a need for a vacuum assisted scraper which removes the dust and debris generated while scraping from both sides of the blade.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved vacuum assisted scraper.
- According to one aspect of the invention, a scraper is provided with a vacuum hood which extends to both sides of the blade, and which provides airflow to remove debris from both sides of the blade. The vacuum shroud may be formed to have the blade mount formed on the inside of the shroud, and may have air passages formed to direct air flow from both sides of the blade and into a vacuum port.
- These and other aspects of the present invention are realized in a vacuum assisted scraper as shown and described in the following figure and related description.
- Various embodiments of the present invention are shown and described in reference to the numbered drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the scraper of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 shows a side view of the scraper of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 shows a bottom view of the scraper of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 shows a partial cross-sectional view of the scraper of the present invention; and -
FIG. 5 shows a partial cross-sectional view of the scraper of the present invention. - It will be appreciated that the drawings are illustrative and not limiting of the scope of the invention which is defined by the appended claims. The embodiments shown accomplish various aspects and objects of the invention. It is appreciated that it is not possible to clearly show each element and aspect of the invention in a single figure, and as such, multiple figures are presented to separately illustrate the various details of the invention in greater clarity.
- The invention and accompanying drawings will now be discussed in reference to the numerals provided therein so as to enable one skilled in the art to practice the present invention. The drawings and descriptions are exemplary of various aspects of the invention and are not intended to narrow the scope of the appended claims.
- Turning now to
FIG. 1 , a perspective view of a scraper of the present invention is shown. Thescraper 10 includes ahandle 14 which may be formed withridges 18, contours, or other structures to promote a firm and comfortable grip of thescraper 10. Thehandle 14 is connected to ascraper head 22 which is used to mount theblade 26. Thescraper head 22 is generally flat and is shown as generally rectangular, but can be made in various shapes. Thescraper head 22 both provides a mounting surface for theblade 26, and generally defines the area cleaned by the vacuum as the scraper is used. - The
blade 26 is shown as a length of angle shaped steel. The angle shapedblade 26 provides two lateral scraping surfaces. Afastener 28, such as a bolt or screw, is used to hold the blade to thescraper head 22 and allows the blade to be changed. Theblade 26 may be held such that one side of the blade is generally parallel to thescraper head 22 and the other side (used for scraping) is held generally perpendicular to the scraper head. Thescraper head 22 includes avacuum shroud 30 which is present both in front of and behind theblade 26. - The
handle 14 is hollow, and the conduit therethrough is connected to the area enclosed by thevacuum shroud 30 via opening 34. Afront airflow passage 38 is provided between the front of theblade 26 and the front of thevacuum shroud 30. Thepassage 38 allows air to flow upwardly between theblade 26 and the front portion of thevacuum shroud 30 and then above the blade 26 (between theblade 26 and shroud 30) towards the back portion of the vacuum shroud and towards theopening 34. Thus, airflow is provided from in front of and behind the blade, through opening 34 into the handle, and into a vacuum. Thevacuum shroud 30 directs the vacuum generated air flow around both sides of the blade so as to aid in collecting dust and debris from both sides of the blade while using thescraper 10. -
FIG. 2 shows a side view of thescraper 10 and illustrates howopenings 42 may be made in the sides of thevacuum shroud 30 to increase the airflow past the back side of the blade (towards the handle). In some situations, more dust, or larger particles of dust, is generated at the back of theblade 26 while scraping. -
FIG. 3 shows a bottom view of thescraper 10. The opening 34 between the air passage in thehandle 14 and thevacuum shroud 30 can be seen. Additionally, it can be seen howairflow passage 38 may extend across nearly the entire front of theblade 26, promoting good collection of the dust and debris created in front of the blade. Thescraper head 22 typically has amount 46 used to attach thescraper blade 26. Themount 46 may be used to elevate theblade 26 from the surface of thehead 22. Themount 46 may have aridge 48 or other structure thereon (also visible inFIG. 4 ) to aid in preventing rotation of theblade 26 during use. Theridge 48 may also be used to cover theblade 26 adjacent theopening 34 to protect a user from cutting their finger when clearing debris from theopening 34. The front portion of thevacuum shroud 30 may also be used to maintain the desired alignment of theblade 26. - The portion of the
mount 46 beneath the blade 26 (indicated by dashed lines) does not extend to the sides of thescraper head 22, extending theairflow passage 38 around the sides of themount 46, between theblade 26 and thehead 22. Thus, a vacuum will draw air between theblade 26 andairflow shroud 30 in front of the blade throughairflow passage 38, the air passing around the sides of themount 46, throughopening 34, and through the handle to the vacuum. Dust and debris are thus removed from in front of the blade. Air is also drawn around the back portion of thevacuum shroud 30 and inopenings 42, through theopening 34 and through thehandle 14 to the vacuum, removing dust and debris from the back side of the blade. Thus, dust and debris are removed from both sides of theblade 26 as thescraper 10 is used. -
FIG. 4 shows a partial cross-sectional view of thescraper 10 taken along line A-A ofFIG. 3 . Theair conduit 50 through thehandle 14 is clearly seen. Theair conduit 50 may be formed with asocket 54, or enlarged portion, adjacent the end of thehandle 14 which receives a vacuum hose, and which is typically sized to receive an ordinary 1.25 inch vacuum hose.Opening 34 is seen as the area where theconduit 50 opens into the area enclosed by thevacuum shroud 30. Themount 46 can be seen as a raised central portion of thehead 22, and can be seen how it elevates theblade 26. -
FIG. 5 shows a partial cross-sectional view of thescraper 10 taken along line B-B ofFIG. 3 . The cross-sectional view of thescraper 10 does not pass through the mount, but runs along side thereof. It can be seen how the how theairflow passage 38 extends between theblade 26 and thehead 22, extending the airflow passage around the mount (not seen) so as to allow air flow throughairflow passage 38, around the sides of the mount, throughopening 34 and intoconduit 50 through thehandle 14, where it passes into the vacuum. -
FIG. 5 andFIG. 2 both illustrate how thescraper head 22 may be mounted at a slight angle to thehandle 14 so as to make the scraper easier to use. As shown, thehead 22 is mounted at an angle of about 20-25 degrees from being parallel to the handle, positioning theblade 26 at a corresponding angle from being perpendicular to the handle. - The present invention thus provides a
scraper 10 which is connected to a vacuum and which draws air from both in front of the behind theblade 26 to remove dust and debris from both sides of the blade. The scraper is advantageous as it keeps the area clean while the scraper is being used, promoting easier use of the scraper. - There is thus disclosed an improved vacuum assisted scraper. It will be appreciated that numerous changes may be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the claims.
