Abstract: The invention relates to a scraper structure, which is generally comprised of a long handle for handgrip and a scraping section in its front. Basically, the scraping section of the scraper is comprised of a jaw plate, a blade, a fastener and a fastening button. The front end of the scraping section extends downward or forward to form a blade slot and has a jaw base at the bottom to connect to the blade slot. The jaw plate has identical shape to the clamp jaw in the front of the jaw base. The fastener and the fastening button are combined to provide tightening and enable the clamp jaw in the front of the jaw plate to exert great pressure onto the blade and achieve quick blade replacement and assembly. Further, the fastening button can exert more force by the front hand in grasping the handle and achieve powerful scraping.

The blade and the blade housing are pivotably coupled to the motor housing about a second axis substantially parallel to the first axis.

Abstract: A support element is attachable to a tool receivable in a tool holder bore so as to strengthen a connection between the tool and a tool holder and provide increased rigidity and vibration damping. The support element has a first support element end adapted for disposition adjacent to a forwardly facing mounting surface of the tool holder and a second support element end adapted for disposition adjacent to a forward end of the tool. The support element is mountable on the tool so as to be disposed completely between the forwardly facing mounting surface and the forward end of the tool. In one configuration, the support element includes a base having an underside configured for abutment with the tool holder and an extension protruding in a longitudinal direction from the base. The base is adapted to receive at least one element operable to produce adjustable canting of the base with respect to the tool holder and corresponding adjustable frictional engagement between the support element and the tool.

Abstract: To increase the cutting quality and to improve the operation of a press, in particular in punching high-strength martensitic materials or when punching thick sheet metal, a sheet metal holding device is provided for securely clamping the respective workpiece during the punching operation. The clamping force is increased to 40% or more of the ram force. The force exerted by the sheet metal holding device during the penetration of the workpiece can be further increased. The increase in the clamping force preferably takes place in a controlled manner as a function of the press angle.
