1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in foot scrapers, of a type that it may be placed at the side of a walk or other desired place when needed and conveniently removed when not in use, thereby eliminating a hazard and danger due to its continual presence.
An object of the invention is to provide a foot scraper of few parts which may be compactly assembled for shipment without the necessity of additional pieces to bind the parts together for shipping.
Another object of the invention is to provide a foot scraper upon which the bottoms and sides of the soles of the shoe and the upper may be scraped free of mud.
A prefered embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a sectional perspective view of a section of side walk with the improved scraper installed at the side thereof;
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the invention with the stake attached;
Fig. 3 is a top plan View thereof; and
Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the scraper with the parts assembled for shipment.
With more detailed reference to the drawing, the numeral 1 represents a scraper bar integral with and upstanding from a base 3 extending at right angles thereto, which parts are preferably stamped from sheet metal and constitute the body portion of the scraper. A cut-away opening 9 is formed in the body portion to lighten the weight of the scraper and at the same time provide an upper edge on which the toe or top portion of the shoe may be cleaned.
A stake in has an angular portion or bracket H) which may be secured to the scraper base 8 by a bolt H to permit installation of the scraper adjacent an edge of a walk IE or the like. For convenience in shipping the stake 10 may be secured directly to the base 8 by placing the bolt I! through hole l2 in the stake ID. The stake l0 may be pointed at l3 to permit easy insertion into the ground I4 by the side of the walk I5. When desired, the stake It! may be dispensed with and scraper base 8 secured directly to a flat surface, such as the top of the walk 15 by the use of screws through holes H5 in the scraper base.
This provides a scraper involving only two main parts, the scraper portion and the stake. These parts may be assembled as shown in Fig. 4 with the stake I0 attached directly to the base 8 of the scraper by the bolt II, which provides compactness for shipment and without the necessity of special parts for packing. When it is desired to assemble the parts for use, the stake I0 is detached by removing the bolt I l, and said stake is turned to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2 with the bracket I0 overlying the base 8 and secured thereto by the bolt ll. Then the stake may be inserted into the ground, preferably at an edge of a walk, step, etc., as shown in Fig. 1, with the base 8 overlapping the walk, providing a secure mounting for the scraper. When the scraper is not needed, it may be withdrawn readily and withdrawn so as to eliminate a hazard and danger due to its continued presence.
I claim:
A foot scraper comprising a scraper body having an upstanding scraper bar and a relatively fiat base at an angle thereto, a stake having an angular bracket portion arranged in overlapping relation with the base, and means for securing said bracket portion directly to the base.
