Abstract: An automated surface scraping apparatus basically includes a handle formed by an elongated shaft and a hand grip attached to a rear end portion of the handle shaft, and an automated scraper head attached to a base extension mounted along a front end portion of the handle shaft. The automated scraper head basically includes a hand-operated locking-and-releasing mechanism mounted to the base extension, and a clamping jaw connected to and extending forwardly from the locking-and-releasing mechanism. The clamping jaw includes a lower jaw member, being fixed or stationary relative to the base extension and the locking-and-releasing mechanism, and an upper jaw member, being pivotally movable relative to the lower jaw member and the locking-and-releasing mechanism between engaged and disengaged orientations relative to a scraper blade.
