Scraping tool

Abstract

A manually operated scraper tool includes a handle that seats a blade retaining component that freely and rotatably holds a substantially circular cutting blade thereto. An alternate attachment embodiment of the scraper tool includes a tool receiving body, rather than a handle, that may be received and driven by a power tool.

1 . A scraping tool comprising: 
 (a) a handle, said handle having a gripping end and a blade-receiving end;    (b) a blade retaining component, said blade retaining component having an elongated first end substantially disposed in said handle at said blade-receiving end of said handle, said blade retaining component having a second substantially rounded hub end having a chamfered peripheral edge; and    (c) a rotatable blade comprising an outer circumferential cutting edge, said rotable blade further comprising an internal circular opening defined by a chamfered peripheral edge, said chamfered peripheral edge of said blade opening being slidably disposed atop said chamfered peripheral edge of said hub end of said blade retaining component in such a manner so as to facilitate the free rotational movement of said blade about said hub end of said blade retaining component.    
   
   
       2 . A scraping tool attachment for use with a power tool comprising: 
 (a) a tool receiving body, said tool receiving body having a tool receiving end and a blade-receiving end;    (b) a blade retaining component, said blade retaining component having an elongated first end substantially disposed in said tool receiving body at said blade-receiving end of said tool receiving body, said blade retaining component having a second substantially rounded hub end having a chamfered peripheral edge; and    (c) a rotatable blade comprising an outer circumferential cutting edge, said rotatable blade further comprising an internal circular opening defined by a chamfered peripheral edge, said chamfered peripheral edge of said blade opening being slidably disposed atop said chamfered peripheral edge of said hub end of said blade retaining component in such a manner so as to facilitate the free rotational movement of said blade about said hub end of said blade retaining component.
