  • Retractable blade scraper having a blade-storage drawer and a blade slide with upper and lower blade-clamping members
    Patent number: 8291598
    Abstract: A retractable blade scraper includes a handle body having a handle rear end and a handle forward end including a forward-end opening. An internal blade-slide cavity extends rearwardly from the forward-end opening toward the handle rear end and is configured to selectively receive a blade through—the forward-end opening. A blade slide housed by the blade-slide cavity includes lower and upper blade slide members between which the blade is selectively retained. A blade-slide actuator is accessible through an actuator slot defined through a wall of the handle body between slot first and second ends. Reciprocation of the actuator between the slot first and second ends reciprocates the blade slide between a rearward blade-storage position in which the blade is housed in the blade-slide cavity and a forward blade-changing position in which the blade protrudes through the forward-end opening to facilitate blade changing.

  • Woodworking tool for preparing a wood surface for finishing
    Patent number: 5850657
    Abstract: A woodworking tool includes an elongate hand grip. A scraper element is provided at one end of the hand grip and a spreader element at the other end of the hand grip. The spreader element is substantially more flexible than the scraper element so that each may alternatingly be used to prepare a wood surface for finishing by reversing the relative positions of the elements within the hand of the user.
