' SCRAPING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May ll, 1911 '17.

Application filed June 15, 1914. Serial No. 845,230.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LAURA V. RoBrNsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scraping Devices, of whlch the following is a specification.

y invention relates to new and useful improvements in cleaning brushes and the like and has for its primary object to provide a simple and effective scraping brush that is particularly designed for cleaning soiled kitchen utensils and the like and consists of a handle carrying a detachable head in which is'mounted a plurality of scraping blades that are closely arranged relative to One another in such manner that a reliable scraping action is provided.

Another object is to provide a scraper of the character described that is formed with a novel arrangement of scraping blades whereby pots, pans and other articles may be scraped in a reliable and expeditious manner and with considerable force without loosening or breaking the scraping blades.

Another object is to provide a device of the character described that is of an extremely simple construction, is reliable and efiicient in operation and inexpensive to manufacture.

The above and additional objects are accomplished by such means as are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, described in the following specification and then more particularly pointed out as claimed.

With reference to the drawings, wherein I have illustrated the preferred embodiment of my invention as it is reduced to practice,

and throughout the several views of which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts.

Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of my improved scraping brush, and ig. 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof.

Referring to the drawings by characters of reference, the numeral 1 designates a handle or body portion of my improved brush that is preferably provided with rounded edges and formed at one end with an enlarged slightly offset and circular head portion 2. Secured to the head 2 and on one face thereof is a circular disk or body 3 that is provided with a beveled or inclined side wall 4 and is secured by means of screws 5 that are inserted through the head ortion and into the disk or body 3. The inclined or beveled peripheries 4 of the disk or body 3 ing spaced rows, and the blades forming each row are arranged in spaced relation, as

shown in Fig. l of the drawing. The circular row of blades that is located at the point of juncture between the outer face of the disk and the beveled periphery of the disk, extend outwardly at obtuse angles to the outer face of the disk, and the blades that are mounted on the beveled periphery of the disk are arranged in superposed circular rows, and extend horizontally and in planes located above the spaces between the radial rows of teeth on the outer face of the disk. Each blade 6 is tapered inwardly toward its secured end and is formed of a preferably flat and thin steel strip. The blades 6 project outwardly from the body 3 on all of the free sides and faces thereof in such manner that an effective scraping surface is provided and the cleaning of pots, pans and other articles or utensils may be readily effected. The blades 6 project outwardly for a distance equivalent to approximately half their length and it will be readily seen that derangement thereof is prevented, to an appreciable extent.

The body 3 is approximately the same size as the head 2 so that the brush may be used to cleanse or scrape the corners of receptacles and the like without interference by the handle or head. The circular head 2 projects slightly beyond one horizontal side of the handle and has removably secured thereto the blade carrying disk 3, which blades due to their peculiar formation thereon permits the crevices and curves of pots, pans, or other cooking utensils to be thoroughly cleaned.

In practice, I have found that the form of my invention, illustrated in the drawings and referred to in the above description, as the preferred embodiment, is the most eficient and practical; yet realizing that the conditions concurrent withthe adoption of my device, will necessarily vary, I desire to emphasize the fact that various minor changes in details of construction, proportion and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, when required, without sacrificing any of the advantages of my invention, as riphery of. said disk and extending out- 15 set forth.
