SCRAPER Filed June 1, 1939 f flag/ Patented Mar. 5, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Claims.

This invention relates to an improved form of scraping tool particularly adapted for use in cleaning poultry houses.

It is a primary aim of this invention to pro- 5 ride a tool especially designed and adapted for scraping and cleaning the dropping boards and doors of poultry houses, so constructed that the forward edge or either side edge of the tool may be employed as the scraping edge.

Still a further aim of the invention is to provide a tool having a head so constructed that when either of the side edges or the forward edge is used for scraping a back wall is provided for collecting and holding the scrapings on the tool head.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter become more fully apparent from the following description of the drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment thereof, and wherein:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the tool,

Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical central sectional view, partly in elevation, of the same, and

Figure 3 is an end view in elevation looking to- 25 Ward the head of the tool.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the different views, In designates generally the tool formed of the head M, and the handle l2.

Head ill comprises an elongated plate I3 having an upturned end it forming the back wall of the tool. The opposite end l5 and the longitudinal edges it of the plate [3 are preferably sharpened to form scraping edges. A partition or central wall ll rises from the plate l3 and extends the length thereof, as best seen in Figure 2. The partitionor wall l'l may be secured in any manner to the plate I3 and to the inner side of the back wall M, as by means of welding. As best seen in Figure 2, the partition I? extends the length of the plate l3 and has its upper edge rounded at its back end to connect with the intermediate portion of the upper edge of the back wall M. Partition ll is provided at its opposite end with the tapered edge l8 which tapers to a point at the edge l5. The back wall I l, as best seen in Figurefi, has an arcuately shaped upper edge and is also provided with a centrally disposed opening i9 which is bisected by the partition ll.

Handle i2 is provided with the split tapered end 20 which extends through opening l9 and "which is adapted to be disposed with its corresponding sections engaging opposite sides of the til partition l1. Handle I2 is secured to the head II by means of fastenings such as the rivets 2| which extend through the sections of the tapered end 20 and through the partition ll to mount the handle I2 at an angle to the plate [3.

From the foregoing it will be seen, that the scraping edge l5 may be readily used for scraping a floor or other surface by means of a forward and backward motion and when thus used the back wall M will form a stop or abutment for 10 the scrapings which are directed onto the plate I3. In cleaning dropping boards of poultry houses it is usually not convenient to position the scraping tool so that its forward scraping edge can be moved longitudinally of the board and M for such work the tool I0 is adapted to be positioned transversely of the dropping board and moved longitudinally thereof using either of the longitudinal scraping edges 16 for scraping during this right or left movement. When either of 20 the edges l6 are thus employed, the central longitudinal partition I! forms the back wall or abutment to collect and retain the scrapings on either half of the plate l3.

Various modifications and changes in the precise construction and arrangement of the parts forming the scraping tool are contemplated and may be resorted to and the right is reserved to make such variations as fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter defined by the appended claims.

I claim as my invention:

1. A device of the class described comprising a scraper head including a longitudinal plate having an upturned end, the opposite end and longitudinal edges of the plate being sharpened to provide scraping edges, a longitudinal wall rising from said plate and disposed intermediate of its longitudinal edges, said wall extending from said upturned end to the opposite forward edge 4g of said plate, and a handle secured to said wall and extending outwardly through said upturned end, said handle being disposed at an angle to the plate. V

2. A scraping tool comprising a scraping head 5 comprising a plate having an upturned end, forming a back wall, a partition rising from said plate and disposed longitudinally thereof, the opposite end and sidev edges of the plate forming scraping edges, and a handle secured at one end to said head.

3. A scraping tool comprising a base portion,

a wall formed integral with and rising from one end of said base portion, the opposite end and longitudinal edges thereof being sharpened to 5 end secured to said longitudinal wall and extendlug outwardly through said upturned end, said handle being disposed at an angle to the plane of the plate.

5. A scraping tool comprising a head having a relatively flat base portion, the side edges of the base portion being sharpened to form scraping edges, and a longitudinal wall rising from said base portion and disposed between said side edges and forming a back wall for both of said scraping 10 edges.
