Abstract
A blade scraping tool including a hand gripping casing formed of a top covering and a bottom covering; a resilient plate mounted inside the casing; a blade; a blade mounting device; and an interlocking assembly. The resilient plate is slidably movable along a longitudinal slot on the top covering by actuating a push button thereon to release engagement of the interlocking assembly. The interlocking assembly cooperates with the resilient plate and the top covering for locking the plate into different positions by actuating and sliding the push button; a first position where the blade is entirely retracted within the casing, a second position where the blade is exposed for scraping, and a third position where the blade is exposed far enough for mounting and removal of the blade from the blade mounting device. The tool preferably includes a peripheral elastomer rim along a portion of the periphery of the casing.
