Ceiling scraper debris collection container

Abstract

A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container is a hand-held and pole extended container used to help guide a ceiling scraper's knife blade angle and help reduce mess when scraping textured ceilings by providing a temporary storage receptacle with a forward facing molded collection lip that helps collect, funnel and contain falling debris. The collection lip appears to wrap around all sides of an inserted or permanently fixed scraping knife blade and is molded upward, outward and angled from a hole found in the top front portion of the container's body just in front of the container's molded handle. A molded tube with a threaded socket projects out from the end of the handle at the same angle as the blade and is used for pole extension connector. The storage body of the container narrows to a pour out spout that has a screw on/of cap.

1 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container is a hand-held or pole extended ceiling scrapings collection container used to help guide a ceiling scraper's knife blade angle as to not gauge ceiling when scraping off ceiling textures and act as a temporary storage receptacle that collects, funnels and contains falling debris generated from scraping ceilings, the ceiling scrapings debris collection container comprising: a molded and permanently attached and angled collection lip that extends outward in front and slightly to the sides and top front portion of the collection container; the collection lip wall extends upward and at an angle from a collection hole found on the top front portion of the main body of the container and this lip wall acts to help collect and funnel falling debris into the temporary storage area of the container and by doing so reduces mess resulting from scraping, the collection lip rim appears to wrap around all sides of an inserted or permanently fixed scraping knife blade, and when the invention is in use, the collection lip rim becomes parallel to a ceiling surface and acts as a scraping angle guide, the leading collection wall lip rim is straight and appears to be parallel to the scraping edge of an inserted scraping knife blade, the top side of the container has a handle that extends out from the exterior back collection lip wall and reconnects at the top rear portion of the container, the extension pole connector extends out from the end of the handle and is a tubular inner amce threaded socket for extension pole attachment, the width of the body of the container going from front to back narrows down into a pour out spout with a screw on/off cap. 
     
     
         2 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein, the sides and back portions of the collection lip rim when viewed from above it appear to be shaped like the letter “U” or a half circle as it wraps around the top side of the present scraping blade. 
     
     
         3 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein, when the scraping knife blade is present the blade is set at roughly a thirty-five to forty degree angle to the collection lip's rim. 
     
     
         4 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein, when the scraping knife's blade is present, the collection lip extends out from the scraping edge, corners and sides at a width sufficient enough to collect falling debris while scraping. 
     
     
         5 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein, when it is in the form that allows a user to insert his or her own scraping knife, the handle of the scraping knife would be inserted into an oval shaped hole found on the back inside wall of the collection lip and this hole extends as a tube with the container's handle and acts to hold and grip the knife's handle. 
     
     
         6 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein, when it is in the form that provides a permanent metal formed scraping knife blade, the blade extends out from the back inside wall of the collection lip at the appropriate angle and forms back into a metal handle that is molded within the center of the plastic molded handle and ultimately molded into a tubular threaded socket for extension pole attachment in which projects outward from the back portion of the plastic molded handle at the same angle as the blade. 
     
     
         7 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein, when it is in the form that provides a permanent plastic formed scraping knife blade, the blade extends out from the inside back wall of the collection lip at the appropriate angle and is permanently attached as a molded extension of the collection lip wall and has a molded support wall on the blades bottom side that extends downward and its left and right sides touch the wall of the left and right insides of the collection lip down to the collection hole opening. 
     
     
         8 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 7  wherein the permanent plastic formed scraping knife blades' edge is sharpened upward at an angle and the thickness of the blade increases as it reaches to its molded attachment to the inside back wall of the collection lip wall and the molded support wall is of the same thickness as to where it is molded to the bottom of the blade and is positioned approximately one inch from the blade's edge. 
     
     
         9 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 7  wherein the tubular threaded socket for extension pole attachment extends outward from the back portion of the plastic handle at the same angle as the blade and is also molded of the same plastic as the handle. 
     
     
         10 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the bottom of the collection lip is permanently molded to the opening of the collection container and is of the same thickness as the container opening rim but then thins at the top of the collection lip making it more flexible. 
     
     
         11 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the front portion of the body of the container is in a rectangle tub shape form under the collection lip and its width is approximately one inch less in width than the width of the collection lip width, and its width narrows down to the disposal cap at the opposite end of the container. 
     
     
         12 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein, when the container is sitting on floor and viewed from the left side, the collection lip rim appears to slope downward at approximately forty degrees. 
     
     
         13 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the collection lip, the body of the container, the exterior of the handle, the scraping blade and extension pole connector as claimed in  claim 7  and the debris disposal pour out spout and cap are made of recycled or newly made molded plastic. 
     
     
         14 . A Ceiling Scraper Debris Collection Container as claimed in  claim 13  wherein the thickness of the molded recycled or newly made molded plastic is thickest in the handle area where the handle is molded to the wall of the back collection lip, the handle, the tubular threaded socket for extension pole attachment, the area where the handle is molded to the top of the container, the top portion of the container surrounding the handle and the pour out spout area.
