Abstract: A paint scraper tool includes a blade member and a handle member extending at an angle thereto. The blade member has an upper and a lower surface, and the tool includes side gusset members mounted on the blade member upper side. The handle member extends at an acute angle rearwardly from the blade member and toward the blade member upper side. The tool includes a beveled front edge thereon, for ease of scraping, the beveled edge having awl points therein to facilitate scraping of cracks, crevices, corners and the like. The tool also includes curved blade surfaces, for use in scraping rounded surfaces such as furniture legs. For the preferred embodiment, the side gusset members and tool handle cooperate to provide a particularly advantageous system. Further, the gusset members form sides of a trough in which paint scrapings may be received, during use of the tool. Preferably the tool is formed from a single piece of molded plastic material or the like.

Abstract: A tool for scraping a grill of the type having a plurality of spaced apart parallel grill rods is disclosed. The scraper includes an elongated handle having a flat rectangular scraper member transversely attached to one end of the handle. The scraper member includes at least one access slot opening at one edge transversely intersected by a cross slot having ends shaped and sized to receive at least one grill rod of predetermined shape and size.

Abstract: An ice/snow scraping apparatus and method characterized by an edge-illuminated, light transmitting scraping blade which provides illumination for the interior and scraping edge of a blade, thereby illuminating at least a portion of an area to be scraped from the blade illumination phenomena.

Abstract: A paint scraper for removing paint from wooden or other soft surfaces without damage to such surfaces includes a shaft and a blade oriented at a slightly obtuse angle with respect to the axis of the shaft and a concave deflecting shank extending from a blade support portion to a handle portion for guiding peeling paint away from the vicinity of the blade. The blade is relatively sharp and thin, but is kept from oscillating by the support portion of the shaft which includes a lip which allows attaching parts to prestress the blade so that it remains stiff.
